Three days later, the day before the dinner appointment.
Although I'll be having dinner with my family, I don't have any clothes to wear.
There's no real dress code, but the clothing I'd bought on the Magic Continent are seen as quite shabby in these parts.
Thus, I'm browsing clothing shops with Eris.
It's a date, so to speak.
Though I say this, it's nothing that romantic.
Eris is looking for clothes to buy, she isn't that active about it, and it feels like she's fine with buying whatever.
Because she's like that, I'll be choosing clothing for her as well.
From now on is the domain of the Human Race.
We'll be judged according to their tastes, after all.
At the very least, I want to be presentable enough that we aren't ridiculed at first sight.
If there was at least one person here who knew the latest fashion trends, we could ask them for advice but...
Among my acquaintances, there's basically only the monkey-faced newbie or Vera, but I don't know where the monkey-faced newbie is, and I don't know Vera well enough to ask her for a favour.
We could probably ask the shop clerks at the more expensive stores for advice, but the clothing in those kind of stores probably don't cater to adventurers.
It'd be awkward to go in and ask for advice, and then leave without buying anything.
If we owned a set of those kind of clothes, it might possibly come in handy, but we might also never use it. Thinking this, I can't help but feel awkward.
Because of Paul's assistance, we have money, but I don't want to squander it away either.
Thus, we started watching the people walking down the road, and decided to decide on what to buy based on that.
Although my hobby is observing humans, Eris and I are sitting on the side of the road and people watching[6].
It's just to a certain extent, but it seems like a lot of people are wearing blue clothing.
Additionally, there are both those who don outerwear, and those that don't.
Because the climate is good, the outerwear is thin as well.
"It seems the fad these days it to wear blue, huh?"
"Blue wouldn't suit you, Rudeus."
Eris immediately rejected the idea.
Well, I'm not exactly eager to follow the latest fashion trends, but...
"Then, what would you say suits me?"
"Didn't Gisu give you something? That one was good, you know."
That fur vest, huh?
However, the size is a little big.
Because it's longer than necessary, it ends up looking like a coat.
That said, though it's not uncomfortable, and I'd wear it on cooler days, still...
"Though that vest isn't bad, it's a little too long, huh?"
"Right. It really is a bit long, huh? What if you cut it?"
"That'd be a waste. I'm growing after all."
While having such a conversation, I decided on what to buy.
As expected, Eris and I don't care much about fashion, and the fact that we didn't take long to shop is an indication of that.
Or so I thought, but near the end Eris bought a black dress.
It's made from a black material with a white rose embroidery, and is quite the stylish dress.
"Eris, did you buy that?"
"...What? Do you have problem with it?"
"No. I think it suits you."
"Hmph. It's not like I need compliments."
With that conversation, we finished that day's shopping.
