Yusei shared his idea with Shiro, Kanna, and Tohru.
Shiro and Kanna didn't mind, happy to follow Yusei's arrangements.
Tohru, however, raised her hand enthusiastically and asked, "Patrolling the streets? Does that mean inspecting your territory and killing anyone you like?"
"No, that's completely wrong! Shopping means we go to the market to buy things we want. Don't dragons have markets?"
"Hmph, markets... are those places where puny humans huddle together for warmth? If we dragons want something, we just take it." Tohru looked down her nose arrogantly.
Yusei didn't mind too much. This dragon girl had just arrived in this world, and it would take time to correct her common sense.
"Fine, suit yourself... but remember the two rules for going out: first, don't kill anyone. Second, if you like something, tell me and I'll buy it for you."
"Got it, got it." Tohru waved her hand dismissively.
But in her perception, she wondered why should human things be bought? Shouldn't they just be taken?
But since she was currently staying at Yusei's place, and she still needed to assess whether he was capable of protecting Kanna...
'Mhmm, it's not like I'm staying here just because he let me live in his house... Even if my home was destroyed, I can make my home anywhere!'
Yusei took the three girls out, but he didn't head straight for the commercial district. Instead, he first went to the apartment he rented for Hina, which wasn't very close.
He called her, and soon, Hina came down.
"Sorry, Boss, for making you wait."
"It's fine." Yusei smiled slightly.
Hina looked curiously at the unfamiliar girls, "Boss, who are they?"
'Especially the blonde girl in a maid outfit... with a tail sticking out?'
'Is this... cosplay?'
"This is my sister, Kazami Shiro. This is Kanna, a distant relative. And this girl in the maid outfit is Kanna's relative." Yusei introduced them one by one.
Hina nodded, a smile on her face, "Hello, everyone. I'm Amano Hina, Boss's secretary."
"Boss?" Shiro tilted her head, looking puzzled at Yusei.
"Mhmm." Yusei patted Shiro's head and smiled, "I'm drawing manga, right? Hina is hired to help with related matters."
Shiro nodded, not asking further. She remembered her brother drawing manga.
Soon, the five of them headed for the commercial district.
He brought Hina along because Yusei suddenly remembered she didn't have many clothes either. She was his employee, after all, and wearing the same set of clothes all the time wouldn't do. The salary he gave her, she sent back home for her younger brother's schooling, not even sparing money to buy herself nice clothes.
Since Yusei had time today, he decided to take Hina along to look at clothes in the commercial district.
But he told Hina they were going to buy some drawing tools. If he said he was taking her clothes shopping, she definitely wouldn't have come.
Arriving at the commercial district, and since it was still noon, Yusei first took everyone to a restaurant for a meal.
Then they went to the department store. The department store had clothing stores selling everything from cheap outfits to expensive ones.
Yusei's group attracted a lot of attention on the street. It was simply because they were all good-looking boys and girls.
Especially Tohru's 'cosplay' outfit was very eye-catching, and she was extremely cute to begin with.
However, Tohru found it extremely annoying, muttering, "Stupid humans, can't even recognize a dragon... I'm going to destroy the world..."
If Yusei hadn't been beside her, she might have really transformed into a giant dragon and wreaked havoc.
Yusei led the group into a women's clothing store.
As soon as they entered, a shop assistant greeted them.
"Welcome... Yusei-kun?"
Hearing the familiar voice, Yusei looked over and was surprised to find it was Megumi.
Megumi was dressed in shop assistant attire, probably working a part-time job during her break.
Come to think of it, he never really knew much about Megumi's family situation, but it was probably average.
High school students working part-time during holidays wasn't rare, so Yusei wasn't too surprised.
But he felt a bit awkward because they hadn't really spoken much lately.
After calling out 'Yusei-kun', Megumi also fell silent, perhaps remembering past events.
Yusei smiled awkwardly and greeted her, "Hello, Katou-san. Do you usually work here part-time?"
Megumi nodded, "Yes, I want to earn some spending money."
"Well... I'll go look at clothes then."
Hearing this, Megumi finally noticed the girls of various sizes following Yusei. She couldn't help but be startled, then quickly felt a bit downcast.
'There are so many girls around Yusei-kun...'
Not counting Kanna and Shiro, just Tohru and Hina were first-class beauties, each with a different style.
Megumi considered herself just an ordinary girl. Her current improved grades were the result of desperate effort, and she had no particular talent.
Before, Yusei was like her. Apart from being better-looking, he was quite ordinary in other aspects, so they could get along.
But now… Yusei was shining brightly, while she remained as low-profile as ever.
'Besides, Yusei-kun definitely wouldn't like a timid girl like me, right?'
Last Valentine's Day, she puts her heart into making chocolate, but when she saw how much chocolate Yusei already had, she didn't even dare to give him hers.
'What right does a girl who doesn't even dare to express her feelings have to expect Yusei-kun to like her?'
Watching Yusei's back as he walked further into the store, Megumi seemed a bit dazed, lost in thought.
...
Normally in the store, Megumi was the youngest, and because she was modest and quiet, the older shop assistant sisters took good care of her.
One of them, a university student also working part-time who was relatively close to Megumi, saw her expression and asked curiously, "Megumi-chan, was that boy who just came in the one you have a crush on?"
Megumi's mouth opened slightly. She wanted to deny it, but after thinking for a moment, she fell silent, then finally nodded.
