Thanks to her physique, Altoria never gained weight no matter how much she ate.
As a result, the two of them quickly cleared out the entire food street.
At that moment, the food street gained a new legend.
After eating, Eiji took Altoria to the nearest large shopping mall.
A female sales associate in the mall was enthusiastically recommending clothes to Altoria.
That handsome young man next to her could be ignored, but this girl buying clothes was clearly from a prominent background, perhaps even foreign nobility.
If she could take good care of them, her commission for the day might even match a month's salary.
Thinking this, the sales associate became even more enthusiastic.
"This white dress would look lovely on Miss Altoria."
The sales associate took out a white dress.
Altoria's appearance after putting on the dress made Eiji's eyes light up.
Dressed in a pure white gown, Altoria shed her previous imposing heroism, transforming into a petite and adorable young lady.
The dress reached Altoria's calves, with blue floral patterns adorning the hem.
Thin blue straps revealed her fair, soft skin and delicate collarbones. Her pinned-up golden hair added a touch of demure elegance, making her look like a blooming lily.
"It suits you very well, Miss Altoria."
The sales associate clasped her hands together, stars seemingly appearing in her eyes.
As for Eiji, he was already dumbfounded; no need to mention him.
Altoria walked to the mirror in the dress. She first nodded, then shook her head.
"What's wrong, Lia?"
Seeing Altoria shake her head, Eiji stepped forward and asked.
"It's a beautiful dress, indeed, but its flimsy feel isn't suitable for combat."
"Eh?"
Altoria's words stunned the sales associate.
Combat? Did this girl just say combat? No, why would a girl in real life need to fight?
The two words, which were usually only associated with stories and movies, made the sales associate's CPU overheat a little.
"Don't mind her, Lia received knightly education in Great Britain, so she..."
Eiji didn't finish his sentence.
However, it was enough. The sales associate had already concocted several stories based on Eiji's half-sentence.
Her expression didn't change, but if one looked closely, they could see her eyes shining brighter.
A noble young lady, and a knight too. I'm actually meeting a real noble young lady, ahhhh.
"Can you find me some clothes that are easy to move in?"
"No problem, right this way."
Time flew by in their pleasant shopping spree, and evening arrived.
A happy smile bloomed on Altoria's face as the two walked side-by-side on their way home.
Altoria was now wearing her classic casual outfit.
A white shirt paired with a blue high-waisted skirt, black stockings on her legs, and a pair of brown boots.
Eiji, who didn't understand fashion, had put together this outfit for Altoria based on his initial impression.
However, what Eiji didn't expect was that after Altoria put on this outfit, the sales associate kept whispering in disbelief, "Altoria, it's the real Altoria!"
It could only be said that the Zenin Family's publicity was truly effective.
But after reviewing the shopping list, Eiji felt like he had forgotten something.
Underwear.
"Hiss~"
"What's wrong, Eiji?"
Eiji's sudden action caught Altoria's attention.
"Nothing, just thinking about what to eat later."
He couldn't exactly say he was thinking about buying her underwear.
"Dinner? That is indeed a matter worth serious consideration."
Eiji fell into a dilemma.
He didn't know how to buy clothes for girls. And while the mall for casual wear was manageable, entering a mall that sold that kind of clothing...
As if recalling something, Eiji's face flushed slightly.
Who among the girls he knew?
The class representative?
A thought of a somewhat dorky girl wearing glasses popped into Eiji's mind.
No, no, no, that would make him seem like a pervert.
Besides, he wasn't even close to her.
Who else? Who else?
Sigh, were his friends really that few?
Suddenly, a suitable candidate appeared in Eiji's mind.
"Ria, let's go buy some food and then visit relatives."
"Okay."
Entering a supermarket, Eiji directly bought enough ingredients for 10 people and took Altoria to their destination.
Ding dong.
Click.
"Oh, Eiji, and who is this?"
Minako Fushiguro's eyes lit up when she opened the door and saw Eiji bringing a girl.
But Minako Fushiguro was also a bit puzzled. She felt like she was seeing the girl for the first time, yet she seemed so familiar.
"Hello, Sister Minako, this is the Heroic Spirit Altoria, my new partner."
"Eiji, you really are something, calling me 'sister'."
Minako Fushiguro said with a smile.
"Sister Minako, you're still very young."
"Altoria, huh? Come in, please."
Hearing the name, Minako Fushiguro finally understood where that sense of familiarity came from.
After all, Eiji was one of the few relatives Toji Fushiguro was close to, and in Minako Fushiguro's eyes, he was a successful young man with a boundless future.
Therefore, she was aware of Eiji starting a company and making anime. Upon hearing Altoria's name, she also recalled Altoria's identity.
Jujutsu is truly magical, Minako Fushiguro mused.
As soon as they entered, they saw Toji Fushiguro engrossed in betting on horse races.
For the current Calamity of Heaven, only in activities like horse racing could he not control everything, and thus experience the thrill of winning and losing.
In a corner, Megumi Fushiguro and Tsumiki Fushiguro were playing with toys on a soft mat, with a small fence around them to prevent them from running around.
Eiji skillfully walked into the kitchen.
Potatoes, beef, eggs, tomatoes, scallions, salmon...
"Are you going to make this much?"
"Don't worry, we'll finish it."
Eiji gave Minako Fushiguro a reassuring gesture.
Eiji sprinkled salt on the surface of the salmon and set it aside, then began to cut the potatoes and beef.
Stewed potatoes and beef, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, grilled salmon...
Minako Fushiguro, after preparing dinner for Megumi Fushiguro and Tsumiki Fushiguro, came over to help Eiji.
"Eiji, that girl."
Minako Fushiguro gestured towards Altoria with her eyes.
"Altoria only came to my place today."
Eiji smiled and nodded, realizing he hadn't quite understood Minako Fushiguro's implication.
"Oh, right, Sister Minako, do you have time tomorrow?"
Seeing Minako Fushiguro shift the topic to Altoria, Eiji followed along, as if an idea had just occurred to him.
"Yes."
"Could I trouble you to take Altoria shopping for some daily necessities? She just arrived and doesn't have anything yet."
"Oh, leave it to me. A girl's life needs to be handled with care."
Minako Fushiguro immediately agreed to Eiji's request.
Objective achieved.
Eiji thought to himself.
The next day, Eiji experienced the terror of being dominated by shopping.
Eiji, laden with over a dozen bags of various sizes, followed the pair with a vacant stare. Including what they'd already stashed in the shadows, the two of them had bought quite a few things.
From small furniture that made life easier (like a vanity table – though did Altoria even need one? She looked great without makeup.) to clothes, shoes, and daily necessities.
Minako Fushiguro was overjoyed, finally satisfying her long-suppressed urge to shop to her heart's content, and she also got to witness some juicy gossip up close.
She hadn't expected that Eiji, who always acted so mature for his age, had such a cute side. Youth was truly wonderful.
Minako Fushiguro mused inwardly.
In the span of a single day, Minako Fushiguro and Altoria had visited every major department store in Shinjuku.
Eiji was finally freed.
Why?
He had been so happy shopping with Altoria yesterday, so why was he like this today?
However, seeing the smile on Altoria's face as she shopped to her heart's content under Minako Fushiguro's recommendations, Eiji felt it was all worth it.
