Chapter 158

**Chapter 81: What Exactly is the Maturity of an Adult?**

“Oh? This suit looks pretty good on you. Great job, Yake! I was worried that a rugged guy like you wouldn’t be able to find a suitable suit when you walked in!”

Looking at Yake in the suit recommended by the store manager, Aierjisi gave a thumbs-up to the manager. Truly a professional, they instantly picked out the best suit that matched Yake.

“Is that so? But it feels really uncomfortable. Maybe I’m just not suited for wearing suits.”

Yake forced a polite but awkward smile. For someone used to wearing trench coats and shirts, this tight suit was quite a hassle.

“No worries! It’s just a little discomfort. Just bear with it. That’s how parties are; you present your most glamorous side to others.”

Aierjisi explained the downsides of parties to Yake with a shrug. For instance, wearing such an ill-fitting outfit means you can’t show your discomfort, and if it gets any worse, he might even have to dance with other participants in this uncomfortable suit.

“Well, I’ll do my best, though I don’t know how long I can endure it. Manager, how much is it?”

Yake pulled out his wallet, ready to pay for his suit and Little Princess’s evening gown. But Aierjisi was quicker, pulling out the token given by the City Lord.

“With this token, I shouldn’t have to pay, right?”

“A guest of the City Lord? Of course, there’s no need to pay. You just need to collect the money from the City Lord afterward.”

“That’s good. Yake, you should use your privileges when you have them, understand? This token only works here in Pield, so try not to pay here.”

“Oh…”

After being schooled by Aierjisi, Yake put his wallet away.

“Now, it’s my turn! Manager, please help me pick out a suitable outfit. Something that exudes an adult charm.”

“An adult charm gown?”

Aierjisi’s request left the manager a bit perplexed. This little girl seemed no more than ten years old; she clearly could wear dresses made for children. Yet she wanted something with an adult air…

Moreover, her relationship with that young man was a bit ambiguous. Looking at their ages, they should be siblings, right? But that young man treated this little girl with such respect; could she actually be a noble lady with her attendant?

【Aier really is troubled about her age. Does she really not want to be seen as a child?】

Yake couldn’t help but smile wryly. Other older women dislike being treated like old ladies, but Aierjisi, at 1100 years old, didn’t want to be viewed as a little girl.

“How about this one, my lady? I believe this should match your charm.”

After searching around the shop, the manager brought out a red dress. Though it was a child’s size, the design was undoubtedly aimed at mature adults. This should satisfy the young lady’s request.

“Oh. This dress looks nice. Let me try it on!”

“Alright. It’s a bit tricky to wear alone, so let me help you.”

“Thanks! I appreciate it.”

Aierjisi and the manager stepped into the fitting room together to help the Little Princess change into the gown.

The process of girls changing clothes is more complicated than boys, especially when it comes to a dress that’s all about appearance rather than practicality.

“Okay, that should be fine. What do you think?”

“Mm. It looks decent, but it still feels like something is missing.”

Looking at herself in the mirror, Aierjisi felt she was still a bit short of that adult charm and just needed a few things to fill the gaps.

“Manager, do you have any hair accessories? Something floral to wear on the head?”

The Little Princess thought that if she could replace her bow with some shiny headpiece, it would look perfect.

“Floral headpieces? Of course, I have some! I received plenty as gifts when I stocked up. Please wait a moment.”

With that, the manager left the fitting room to search for those floral accessories given as freebies during stock.

Not knowing what the manager was up to, the fitting room was now an excellent chance for Yake to peek at the Little Princess. Perhaps he’d catch a glimpse of the younger girl’s skin half-covered by the dress, revealing a golden scene.

“Aier, I’m coming in!”

“Eh? Wait! No! I’m not ready yet!”

As soon as Yake said he was coming in, Aierjisi panicked. How could she let him see her like this? She was still a bit away from her ideal image!

“Huh? Oh, what a shame. Didn’t you already change? Why lie to me about it?”

Yake pulled back the curtain of the fitting room, looking disappointed. Not seeing the scene he anticipated was such a letdown.

“Because, right now, this isn’t my ideal appearance! The manager went to get something that will complete it, and soon I’ll look like the leading lady I’m imagining.”

【What’s this Little Princess talking about? I don’t understand a word!】

Listening to Aierjisi, Yake was utterly confused. He had no idea what she meant by “leading lady.”

“Sorry to keep you waiting! Here’s the headpiece you needed. Huh?”

Spotting Yake at the door of the fitting room while Aierjisi was anxiously biting her lip, the manager suddenly thought of something strange.

【I’ve already been annoyed with you; what difference does it make if you are a noble lady? The manager isn’t here, and no one will know if I take advantage of you.】

【No, please stop! If my father finds out, he won’t let you off.】

【Ha, do you think you’ll ever see the day your father avenges you? Be a good girl! Let me see if your body is developing normally.】

【No! Yake, don’t!】

Aierjisi shouted as she desperately tried to stop Yake from violating her. But ultimately, she couldn’t resist him and was defiled.
