Chapter 134: Couple Outfit
The two of them cautiously poked their heads out, observing Morgan.
They saw the Queen of the Fairy Kingdom still fully absorbed in picking out clothes, completely oblivious to the fact that two people were secretly watching her from a distance.
At first, Eikou intended to play along seriously with Baobhan Sith's little act, but he quickly realized how stupid that was. Better to take the chance to open his phone and reply to the flood of unread messages.
Taking advantage of Barghest saying she was busy this morning, he could also use this chance to request rescheduling.
"We've already wasted so much time, how about postponing the date until tomorrow? That way we can enjoy a full day together?"
Wham!
Just imagining that line, Eikou couldn't help but punch the wall hard.
"Why the hell am I getting more and more skilled at this, coming up with so many ways to coax girls? I was never this type of person to begin with!"
He sighed in exhaustion.
Eikou had just finished arranging the words in his mind, ready to open his phone and message Barghest, when Baobhan Sith suddenly shook his shoulder hard.
"Something's up, there's a man appearing next to Mother-sama!"
"What?!"
Eikou quickly looked up.
Sure enough, beside Morgan suddenly stood a blond-haired man, also browsing clothes.
It was unmistakably Roland, from Class France!
"Could that guy really be Mother-sama's target?" Baobhan Sith looked as if she couldn't believe it, "Her taste has fallen this low?"
Eikou thought, aren't you overreacting? Clearly Roland just happened to pass by to buy clothes, there's no sign of interaction at all.
Though, speaking of which, why the hell is that exhibitionist buying clothes? Doesn't he normally walk around wearing absolutely nothing?!
Roland also seemed to notice there was a beauty standing nearby, and immediately strode up enthusiastically to strike up a conversation.
Morgan merely cast him a cold glance, then casually said a single sentence.
The two did not hear clearly what Morgan had said, but Roland's reaction afterward was incomparably sorrowful—he covered his face with his hand and wept, before running off toward another clothing aisle.
Not even a second passed before he was flatly rejected, what a humiliation for you, Roland!
And really, just being rejected by a girl you just met, why the hell do you have to cry like that, you're a man!
"Looks like that's not it…"
Baobhan Sith spoke.
"So, this time you finally believe that your Mother-sama simply came out shopping, right?" Eikou said.
"Not necessarily. Perhaps that man just hasn't shown up yet. I must continue observing."
"How long are you planning to keep observing?"
Baobhan Sith's gaze was resolute: "Anyway, at least until evening!"
"?"
Eikou thought to himself, what the hell, you really are a vampire clinging on like a leech!
To actually be able to do such a boring thing—just how much do you adore your Mother-sama anyway!
But I don't have that much time to waste entangled with you like this. If I don't quickly get back to Morgan's side, she'll start getting suspicious.
[While you were thinking this, three minutes have already passed since you left Morgan's side.]
[Morgan starts to wonder where you went, and why you still haven't come back.]
[She activates "Fairy Eyes."]
[Please proceed with a Luck check.]
A die suddenly fell.
Eikou immediately pulled Baobhan Sith down to crouch.
Even though under the penetrating power of Fairy Eyes, hiding behind an obstacle wasn't of much use, having cover was still better than not.
[Luck check successful.]
[Your luck is quite good, because the mall is so crowded, Morgan does not immediately pinpoint your exact location.]
[But if Morgan activates Fairy Eyes again, the probability of her locking onto you will increase, and the difficulty of the next check will rise.]
"..."
Eikou gritted his teeth, feeling utterly conflicted inside.
In front was Morgan stalking like a predator, behind him Baobhan Sith clung relentlessly.
In such circumstances, he couldn't possibly take care of both sides at once.
To walk with Morgan right in front of Baobhan Sith was nothing but a dead end.
But if he stayed with Baobhan Sith, sooner or later he would be swept up by Morgan's Fairy Eyes.
Sure enough… was running away the only option?
As he thought this, Eikou shook his head.
No, only a coward would choose to flee at a time like this!
He had promised today to go on a date with Morgan, so he must think of a way to keep his word!
Whoosh—
Eikou suddenly stood up.
"You idiot, don't just suddenly stand like that! What if Mother-sama notices?!" Baobhan Sith cried in alarm.
"It's fine, because…"
His eyes suddenly sharpened: "I want to go strike up a conversation with your Mother-sama!"
"Are you trying to die?!"
"Didn't you want to know who your Morgan's partner is? Then let me ask her for you. After all, Morgan and I get along fairly well, so if I ask her directly, wouldn't that be faster?"
"…Sounds somewhat reasonable, but why does it feel like a very terrible idea!"
"I didn't hear anything! I'm going in!"
Eikou no longer cared about anything, striding quickly toward Morgan.
Inside, he felt a bit relieved—this was already the best solution.
With this upright justification, he could openly interact with Morgan right in front of Baobhan Sith.
"Morgan, have you chosen your clothes yet?"
He cleared his throat softly, pretending to ask calmly.
"Still choosing,"
Morgan immediately, naturally hooked her arm around his, making his heart pound violently.
"At last you've come back. Next time if you take a call, it'd be best to stay within my sight."
"O…okay…"
Eikou grew tense, terrified that this intimate scene would be spotted by Baobhan Sith, who was watching from outside the store!
There was absolutely no room for misunderstanding here—no matter how you looked at it, this was exactly like the relationship of a long-married couple!
Luckily, this clothing store was doing good business; there were a few other customers around them picking clothes, so Baobhan Sith might not clearly see the intimate movements between him and Morgan — at least, Eikou could only hope so.
"My husband, I really like a couple's outfit, but the season is about to change. Even if we buy it, we won't have the chance to wear it."
Morgan's cold voice carried a faint trace of regret.
"That's not a problem," he shook his head lightly, "if you like it, just buy it first—we can wear it next year."
"You're right. Then how about we wear it right now."
"???"
Wait a minute, weren't her lines skipping a bit too fast?
Perhaps you don't realize it, but your daughter is still watching from outside!
If she were to see her Mother-sama and a male classmate suddenly wearing a couple's outfit together, it would definitely leave her with some very heavy psychological trauma!
Even though it was crowded here, Baobhan Sith would still notice immediately.
At that point, there really would be no way to explain!
"Hold on, wearing a couple's outfit right here in public, that's a bit embarrassing!"
"It's fine, we just need to try it on first."
Morgan lifted the two couple's outfits in her hand, that icy white face blossoming with a blissful smile.
Eikou could only feel waves of chilling cold creeping up his back!
