Find a Troubled Girl after leaving the Guild-Chapter 394 - 220: Unreliable Agreement

Even ALulu felt that Zoe and Andasu might have said something wrong.

A moment later, the Half Elf finally realized and hurried to make amends, but ALulu pursed her delicate lips, and that sense of warmth and closeness vanished instantly.

"Sister Dorothy, are you trying to say that if I hadn’t met my brother and met someone else who was good to me, I would like them too?"

"I, I didn’t mean it that way, I was just trying to make an analogy..."

"You really don’t understand me."

The pink-haired young girl’s eyes went blank for a moment, as if her mind had drifted away from the scene. A few seconds later, she came to her senses, looked down at her extraordinary figure, and said nothing more.

"I, I apologize to you, can I buy you a dessert?" Dorothy clasped her hands together.

ALulu didn’t agree, but upon hearing about delicious food, Zoe immediately wanted to join in.

It seemed like the issue passed just like that, but Andasu didn’t think so.

Perhaps it was because she and ALulu joined the group at the same time. Compared to the others, they weren’t as concerned about Andasu and the young girl with horns. But out of a certain empathy, she often watched ALulu silently.

She noticed that this pink-haired Xiaoniu didn’t often express herself verbally, leaving things to flow, but only in front of the leader. In reality, she had her own thoughts and didn’t blindly follow her recognized "brother", often thinking and acting silently. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

Andasu also wasn’t someone without her own will and somewhat understood ALulu’s behavior.

Since the more experienced two didn’t notice us, that can also be an advantage.

Andasu followed quietly behind.

The rest of the day, after some minor bickering, the four of them got along much more smoothly than before. But Andasu silently made a decision, thinking the other three might also want to do something.

"Customer, please look at these items."

The shop assistant’s words brought Andasu back to her senses. She looked at the swimsuits the shop assistant had chosen and felt her face heat up.

The one with the draping at the chest was already a bit embarrassing, and these were even more so...

Andasu didn’t even dare to wear a cropped skirt in public; wearing this for others to see... If it were just for people on the ship, it might be okay, but in front of strangers, she would be utterly embarrassed.

She couldn’t help but shake her head.

The shop assistant chuckled softly: "So, you’re a bit traditional. Actually, these are mid-range, with both allure and coverage balanced."

"If you want to capture a guy’s heart, while being too revealing seems frivolous, being too covered up diminishes the effect."

"But, some are smaller than underwear."

"You’ve obviously never worn one before. There’s a swimsuit-related joke that says, with a change of fabric and setting, embarrassing underwear turns into a boldly displayed swimsuit."

However, seeing Andasu really couldn’t get past it, the shop assistant propped her chin up: "But your figure is exceptionally good; perhaps there’s one you could try."

...

Li Ang was getting a bit impatient waiting outside the shop.

Although long shopping times might be a common trait for women, these four are at least Adventurers, and before now, except for Dorothy, they never showed this tendency.

He once wondered if these four might have gotten into a fight, but the store was calm with people coming and going, so he dismissed the thought.

Beside him were a few men also waiting for their lady companions outside, so they started to chat.

A rather serious-looking young man said, "You’d think this isn’t a lingerie store; why can’t we join them?"

"There’s a lot of reasons," a slightly chubby man sighed. "I have to go along with what she wants; she won’t let me pick together."

"Then why are you indulging her?" asked a well-dressed man.

"Then why are you out here?" the chubby man retorted.

"I, I just started dating her, still unsure of what to..." the man blushed.

"Oh, you’re at the start of a relationship, I can sense that sour smell."

Then they turned their gaze to Li Ang.

Li Ang barely managed a smile, thinking about how to come up with an excuse to escape. He couldn’t exactly say he was overwhelmed by the ordeal of accompanying four problematic beauties, could he?

Just then, the four appeared at the store entrance like an unmistakable scene.

The guys next to him couldn’t help but compliment them, and before they could say more, Li Ang quickly went up to them.

Sensing the sharp gazes behind him, he hastily and gently ushered the four around the street corner.

"Alright, next, let’s get each of you what you need."

ALulu wanted to prepare ingredients and simple kitchenware, Zoe had no ideas and might want anything novel, while Andasu needed to buy Cultivating Mechanician tools and materials.

"What about you?" he asked the pondering Dorothy.

The Half Elf leaned close and whispered in his ear, "Waterproof material."

Li Ang couldn’t help but want to flick her on the forehead, but knowing he couldn’t shirk his responsibilities, he just smiled.

After a day of shopping preparations for the upcoming departure, Li Ang finally managed to take his new simple mattress and head home alone.

He raised the colorful Magic Staff, preparing to practice Tearing Dimensions.
