In the morning, I went to my little shop and took care of all the arrangements.
And when passing by the Adventurers' Guild, I wanted to see if I could take on four more commissions.
As a result, Katheryne discovered that I still had the last four Mondstadt bounty commissions hanging on my hand.
So she definitely refused, telling Alex to complete the Mondstadt commissions first before returning.
Alex shook his head, it seemed the total limit was four, even though he clearly had the ability to take on eight more... But even so, if he finished the commissions in one place, he could go to Katheryne in other countries and ask for more.
At this rate, he didn't know when he would be able to proceed with the next rank-up mission.
Before leaving, Alex canceled all the long-term commissions he had posted.
He wouldn't even leave the search for Ley Lines; relying on them was too slow. It would be faster to just run around with Baron Bunny himself.
He didn't care about the slight losses incurred during this period.
Then, Alex, having nothing else to do, was about to go to Mondstadt to complete the commissions first.
But at the end of his vision, Alex saw Chiori walk out. She carried out her clothes rack, and the clothes on the rack were also very beautiful.
"Oh~ Chiori!" Alex whispered, then quickly ran over there. "My 'figure shop' here I come!"
"Good morning, Chiori~" Arriving at the Chiori Tailor Shop entrance and seeing Chiori about to go inside, Alex waved.
"Morning," Chiori replied faintly when she saw Alex.
Seeing that Alex had no intention of leaving, Chiori slightly raised her eyes: "Are you here to buy new clothes? Alright, how about another new outfit? I'll give you a friendly price."
"Let's go, we'll talk inside first," Alex said, pushing open the main door and walking in first.
Chiori, seeing this, followed him in with a puzzled look.
Entering inside, Alex found that there was no one else in the room at the moment, only some clothes and fabrics, making it seem empty.
Now, only Alex and Chiori were in the room, a lone man and woman sharing a space.
"Hey, I think putting it here is good," Alex said, walking back and forth and gesturing as if this were his own little house.
"Putting it here is also fine, the lighting looks good... This is also good, no light doesn't matter, just keep the self-contained light on," Alex continued to walk around, exploring the entire Chiori Tailor Shop.
"So what do you mean? If you're not buying clothes, don't stay here," Chiori watched Alex move things here and there, changing the layout of her internal clothes racks several times. She was getting a little impatient.
"Hmm, this will do," Alex said, then took out the large transparent glass cabinet by a wall in the Chiori Tailor Shop.
Yes, it was the figure display cabinet he had drawn before.
Chiori also followed, looking up and down at the cabinet, then at Alex: "Why are you giving me this cabinet? It has so many glass shelves, my clothes don't need them. Take it back."
"Don't rush!" Alex said, and a new figure appeared in his hand: Aili Xiya, Miss Pink Sweetheart.
The moment the figure appeared, Chiori's gaze at Alex changed.
Chiori's eyes grew brighter and brighter, and she even extended her hand afterwards, saying, "Please let me take a good look."
Then, Alex placed the one in his hand onto Chiori's hand.
At the same time, he walked into Chiori's back room, greeting her: "I'm going inside. I remember the previous figure was in there, right? I need to take it out and put it here."
"Mhm, okay," Chiori agreed, twisting her wrist to flip the figure over, bringing her two red eyes closer to examine the bottom of the figure's skirt.
Alex retrieved Aili Xiya: True Self, Herrscher of Human from inside.
When he came out, he found Chiori was still looking, even touching the clothes worn by the figure.
Alex placed the item in his hand into the center of the cabinet, then closed the glass door.
"Click." At the same time, the cabinet made a locking sound.
"Isn't this outfit just a very common maid uniform?" Alex spread his hands, watching Chiori still staring at it, unable to tear her eyes away.
Chiori widened her eyes slightly and said, "How is this maid uniform common! It's clearly very novel and trendy! It's not comparable to ordinary maid uniforms!"
Chiori said, continuously pointing at different parts of the figure: "Look at these skirt pleats, this black and white color scheme, the floral decorations on it. Even this headband, gloves, and little boots are all beautiful designs."
"It's alright, but I only think these white stockings are really great! *Slurp*." Finally, Alex actually took a gulp.
Seeing Alex only focus on the white stockings, Chiori placed one foot on a stool, revealing more of her black lace stockings: "What, are my black stockings not good?"
This Chiori actually deliberately showed him her thigh; this was blatant fatal rhythm (temptation)!
Then Alex wouldn't be polite!
Alex's eyes lit up: "Also perfect! Let me touch them!"
"Get lost!" Chiori immediately stood upright, pulled down her skirt, and said unceremoniously.
"Okay, I'm leaving!" Alex immediately stopped lingering here, intending to depart.
But before he left, Alex introduced the cabinet to Chiori.
It was incredibly sturdy, unbreakable even with forceful smashing, and its anti-theft capabilities were top-notch; no one could steal it.
Chiori looked on curiously, nodding repeatedly: "Truly excellent."
"By the way, I have a new fruit, pineapple, it's already washed," Alex said, walking to her counter, taking out a plate, and placing a pineapple on it.
"Try it soon. I'll come again next time!" With that, Alex directly teleported and vanished.
"Uh." Chiori hadn't even said anything when she saw Alex disappear right before her eyes.
Speaking of which, Chiori heard that in the past two days, Hydro Archon Furina had been promoting strawberries and strawberry cake desserts in aristocratic circles.
And the figure at this moment was holding a strawberry cake.
This style of maid outfit was perfectly suitable as clothing for promotion!
He's giving me this figure now, does he mean for me to also make some clothes of this type, connect with Furina, and help her promote them?
It's very possible. In any case, the clothes worn by this figure are indeed very beautiful!
She must make a batch of them for Hydro Archon Furina!
Afterwards, a group of maids wearing the outfits she made would walk through the streets of Fontaine carrying strawberries or strawberry cakes, promoting them.
This scene appeared in Chiori's mind. Chiori felt it was absolutely wonderful! The maid outfits could be made first!
Hmm, it seems I still need to go to Fontaine to find materials. The fabric for the clothes is simple, but the small ornaments on the clothes require more consideration.
To create a maid outfit that fits the Fontaine style. Fontaine's specialties cannot be missing; I need to find out which ones would be suitable.
Meanwhile, Alex, who had arrived at the top floor of the Knights of Favonius, had not expected that Chiori would think of creating such exquisite and beautiful maid outfits, similar to those on the figure, because of it.
A trendy maid style, transcending its era, was about to sweep through Fontaine, and even the entire Teyvat.
