I’m Really Not Trying to Be Chased by the Heroine as the Villainous Playboy! – Chapter 303

Chapter 9: Youngsters Really Know How to Have Fun

“Alice really isn’t cold.”

Seeing the girl seemingly struggling to accept this behavior and wanting to return the coat, Roy could only sigh lightly and cast that spell he hadn’t used in a while.

“Alice, behave.”

“……” The girl’s movement instantly froze.

But that slight pout still betrayed her dissatisfaction.

“It’s my oversight. Let’s go buy you a new outfit.”

“Huh? Master, you don’t need to go to such expense for Alice.” Alice paused, then said seriously, “Didn’t you like this outfit? For you, Alice can endure this little chill.”

Your master isn’t about to let you freeze just to admire a little dress!

Watching the girl steadfast in the cold wind, Roy couldn’t help but chuckle and retort, “You can endure, but there’s no need.”

He raised an eyebrow with a lighthearted tone, “Besides, girls can never have too many clothes. I’d love to see you in a few more cute outfits.”

As soon as he said this, Alice fell silent.

A few seconds later, she took Roy’s hand and softly murmured, “As a maid, I should fulfill my master’s wishes.”

And besides, I want to make my master even happier—

Looking at Roy’s warm smile, Alice thought to herself.

There were plenty of clothing shops in the commercial district, but Roy headed straight to the towering building adorned with the Blue Moon crest at the very center of the area.

【Blue Moon Commerce】, the largest guild in Veszyra.

Though the Kingdom of Goldsand boasted more wealth and produced high-end jewels, the South Sea Kingdom really was the commercial empire, and its 【Blue Moon Commerce】 had a foothold in every industry, especially in clothing, where it was undoubtedly the leader in Veszyra.

Legend has it that the people of the South Sea were once followers of the sea god, who was also known as the god of art, so his followers were often good at singing, dancing, painting, and weaving.

Although Roy thought this was largely a marketing tactic, the quality of the clothing from 【Blue Moon Commerce】 was indeed quite famous.

Well, since there’s no shortage of money, if we’re buying, let’s buy the best!

Inside the guild, shops lined either side, bustling with activity, with a fountain square in the center for people to rest. It had quite the vibe of a fashion plaza from Roy’s previous life, with all kinds of clothing stores, accessory shops, perfume shops—basically, everything you could think of.

The left side was mostly men’s clothing stores, while the right side had women’s clothing stores. Roy took Alice straight to a shop on the right.

Alice looked around at the dazzling array of colorful dresses, feeling a bit dizzy.

But wanting to look cuter, Alice gathered her spirits to search for a suitable outfit.

She scanned her surroundings and her gaze was inexplicably drawn to a nightgown in the corner.

It was a lace-trimmed camisole nightgown, light fabric, with adorable frills, quite similar to what she was currently wearing.

She remembered Nia had complained about her own nightgown being too plain. Charlotte had also said that wearing something cuter would earn her master’s affection.

However, the nightgown was revealing; not to mention the hem was shorter, and there was an open design at the lower abdomen.

Alice thought about speaking up, but for some reason, when she imagined wearing that outfit in front of her master, her cheeks flushed, her heart raced, and her thoughts became a jumble.

Would Master really like this kind of clothing?

Something about it just felt off…

Alice quickly averted her gaze from the nightgown as if she’d been burned.

Little did she know that her overly intense reaction caught Roy’s attention.

A nightgown? Now that Alice’s was indeed too plain. An idea struck Roy.

Afraid Alice would feel embarrassed to speak up, he took advantage of her distraction to secretly tell a shop attendant to grab a small white nightgown in Alice’s size.

Actually, Roy had previously bought Alice a sexy lace maid nightgown, but that was too risqué and couldn’t be used as an everyday piece, so it became a collector’s item.

Alice wandered further in, her eyes quickly scanning the items, and then once again became attracted to something in the corner.

This thing looked familiar.

A pup at the pet shop had worn something similar.

“Master, can I have that?” Alice pointed, asking.

“Of course…?!”

Roy’s half-hearted affirmation froze into a stunned smile.

Because what Alice was pointing at was too eye-catching.

Let’s say politely it’s a collar, but honestly, isn’t that a dog leash?!

It had hearts drawn on it, stamped with paw prints, and some others had unseemly phrases—clearly, it was a piece of adult novelty!

Roy looked up, and in that area with very few customers, it indeed looked like an adult toy store!

The Academy City is far more open-minded than that backwater place, so adult goods were displayed openly.

But these things were for looking, not for buying unless you had deep enough pockets, and actual buyers typically contacted the staff for private rooms.

A scene where a girl like Alice asked for adult items in broad daylight attracted plenty of admiring gazes from other customers.

When they noticed Alice’s ‘master’ by her side, their eyes widened in shock or jealousy, while some shook their heads, lamenting the decay of societal norms.

The pressure from the surrounding eyes made Roy feel like he wanted to bolt.

He had principles; he wasn’t some creep forcing a beautiful girl to wear a dog leash!

Oh Alice, why this strange thing of all things?!

Yet when he looked at Alice’s hopeful and innocent eyes, words of advice got stuck in his throat.

That girl really seemed to want the dog leash!

The conflict between his principles and Alice’s desire created a huge struggle in Roy’s heart.

“Can I ask why you want that?”

“I saw a puppy wearing it, and it looked really cute.”

Alice’s thought process remained as simple as ever.

She didn’t quite know how to be herself.

Since she wasn’t imitating Charlotte or Nia, emulating other cute creatures couldn’t be bad, right?

Puppies were so adorable, dressing up like them would probably be nice too.

As for S&M or whatever, that was far beyond Alice’s understanding; to her, it was just a regular accessory.

Roy bit his lip, trying to maintain his composure, and explained in the tone of a father explaining biological concepts to his daughter, “Cute as it is, that thing is still too early for you.”

“How about using this instead?”

Roy brought Alice over to the normal accessories section and picked a black leg ring.

Fortunately, Alice seemed satisfied with it and didn’t bring up the dog leash again.

But she still made no progress on finding new clothes.

The girl had zero shopping experience; after one loop, she was more confused than ever.

Finally, she cast a pleading look at Roy: “I don’t know what to wear.”

Just as well, Roy was too nervous to let her keep browsing, fearing she might pick something bizarre again.

He called over a shop attendant and politely said, “Hello, could you help her pick an outfit?”

The attendant, unable to hold back her excitement about the blonde little girl, smiled brightly, “No problem at all!”

No girl would want to miss the chance to dress up a cute girl even cuter.

“Do you have any special requirements for the clothing?”

“I want something cute, comfortable, warm, and…” Roy hesitated, “Whatever she likes is fine.”

Before the attendant could respond, Alice chimed in, “As long as Master buys it, Alice likes it.”

Such a cute response brought a smile to the attendant’s face.

But that title…
