Stray Chapter 77: Waves

This statement is of course a joke. Xia Ran did not use illusion, nor did he only use illusion to cover up his sense of existence. Watermark Ad Test Watermark Ad Test

Saber attracts so much attention because her appearance is too heroic, and such a beautiful girl dressed in men's clothing, this contrast will naturally attract other people's attention.

Speaking of which, this world is really unfair. Everyone seems to think it's okay to beauties in men's clothing. It is terribly inclusive. Even if girls wear men's clothing, and it is obvious enough to be seen at a glance, it will not cause too much damage. How harsh...

But if it's a women's clothing boss, it's two extremes——

Either it is prettier than girls, and people don't even know that they are women's clothes. If men wear women's clothes, and they are obviously exposed, which makes everyone feel hot to the eyes, then it will definitely lead to Lots of harsh and discriminatory eyes.

However, Xia Ran mainly thinks that Saber's experience is not bad. First, it helps her to realize that this is not the world she used to know, and secondly, it helps her realize Girls should look like girls.

It was her past habit of wearing men's clothes, and it was also because she was a king at the time, and she had to disguise her gender because of the need to govern the country and fight for justice.

After all, no matter what you say at that time, it was also the ancient feudal era, and some things could only be viewed according to the mainstream concepts at that time, and people's perspectives on things were not as enlightened as they are today. Besides, there is still gender discrimination even today, which is really nothing to say.

To save a war-torn country, there must be an ideal king, and by his side there must be a noble and virtuous queen.

——This is the ideal form of governance in ancient Britain at that time. The simple and clear meaning is that there must be a perfect king, a ruler belonging to men, and a virtuous queen. Really ideal mode.

The king must be male, and the queen must be female. Everyone thinks this is the right way, and they cannot accept the incident of Sichen the chicken.

It's not like Great Britain at all. Everyone is used to the fact that the king is a woman, and they don't think there is any problem.

Of course, it doesn't work if you don't get used to it. The Crown Prince has been waiting for 70 years. Her Majesty the Queen has made everyone feel that Britain is a "queen" rather than a "king" when it comes to talking about it. What could be wrong?

Well, maybe the only problem is the tough prince...

That's the way it is anyway, so Xia Ran didn't help Arturia to hide, because he felt that there was no need at all, that's fine.

……

……

The boundless clear sky and the poisonous sun are baking every inch of the air, allowing people to fully feel the enthusiasm of summer.

Today will also be a hot day.

Raised her hand on her forehead, squinted her eyes and glanced at the cloudless sky, Xia Ran felt a little discordant. After all, in the previous mission world, it was the winter of 1994. It's nearing the end of November and it's coming to December.

Even on the last night, the first heavy snow in Fuyuki City floated down one after another...

It turned out that it was only the second day, and he had to face the heat brought by the midsummer season of the main world...

Although it didn't matter whether it was cold or heat, he felt very uncomfortable.

Only those who have really experienced it can know that this is really much more troublesome than the experience of jet lag.

Across the pedestrian bridge, the other side is the gate of the shopping center. Xia Ran has only been here before, so I still have an impression of this place, at least the route is not wrong. Saber is very interested in everything, and this kind of prosperity and peace is basically something she has never seen before.

She couldn't help but look forward to it, because she has not given up her wish until now, but regained her confidence, so she subconsciously thinks, if her wish is realized, Camelot's ending will eventually be changed. , then—

In that world line, what kind of state will it be?

Is it safe and sound like falling asleep, coming to an end? Or was it because of the mighty power that the magician in front of him might control at that time, the mystery of that era did not decline, but was retained forever?

Because from the perspective of mysticism, the demise of the existence of the Kingdom of Camelot, or the end of the era of King Arthur's rule, is a historical node that represents the last breath of the Age of Gods completely disappeared.

If this history were to be changed, then mysticism would continue to rule the world and Camelot would become a perpetual empire of madness...it seems not impossible.

It's just that Saber didn't think that if that time came, it would be a lost news belt.

"Master, this is... people of your age, a place that specializes in selling clothes?"

Standing in front of the gate, the knight girl has learned to ignore the gazes of the people around her at this time. She is looking up at the huge building in front of her, and she sighs sincerely.

"Although I already feel that I am mentally prepared, but...is this a bit exaggerated? It feels similar to the palace complex."

The scale of the complex in front of her was beyond imagination, and it turned out to be just a place to sell clothes? ! The area is at least 100,000 square meters. Are modern people so extravagant and wasteful?

——Or do they have a huge market demand for clothes? !

"This is not enough, this is a commercial complex, which usually contains dozens or even hundreds of service places, covering large-scale general supermarkets, professional stores, specialty stores, etc., and even special The parking lot is so big..."

Xia Ran explained it casually. He didn't think there was anything in this shopping center. It was probably the palace complex in his concept, which was based on the scale of the "Forbidden City".

“And no matter how you say Chiba, it is not a small city in a remote area like Fuyuki, but an important city in the Tokyo metropolitan area, which is larger than the combined area of ​​Tokyo and Kanagawa Prefecture, which is the largest city in this city. The shopping mall is naturally the largest..."

And he remembers that this form of business organization seems to have begun to rise in the 1950s.

But after Artoria was summoned, she probably didn't have time to spend on these unnecessary things.

After all, the Aincibelen family is a real local tyrant. It is really too simple to prepare some "common people's clothes" for disguise, and it is far from the need to go to the mall in person. The degree of purchase, this kind of thing is as much as you want, and someone will prepare it as soon as you say it.

After that, Saber probably rushed directly to the battlefield, but Fuyuki City is a remote and rural seaside town, so the knight girl didn't have time to see the world...

The most important thing is that in the span of more than 20 years, the economic development has really prospered many times more than before. So it was the first time she faced this kind of thing, and she was truly amazed.

"In other words, this is not a place to buy clothes?" Not being able to understand the meaning of a lot of unfamiliar words that Xia Ran said, the girl frowned and tried hard to grasp the key points.

“…”

“…”

"Ah, yes, that's what I meant, this is not a place that sells clothes, there are various other shopping, dining, leisure and other services..." Xia Ran twitched the corners of her mouth, and then said so nodded.

While he was talking, he had already walked into the gate of the shopping mall, and took out a guide booklet from the shelf next to him, just spread it out and took a look, and then found his goal.

He leaned towards the girl, pointed to the map above and said:

"Look, there are "jassie", "Lisa Lisa" and other counters on the inner side of the first floor. The shops in this area are basically shops with young women as the main customer group. , although some store names sound like they will teach people Ripple Qigong..."

"Ripple Qigong? What is that?" Saber asked a little strangely, and at the same time subconsciously leaned back.

She wasn't too used to being so close to Xia Ran that they could smell each other's scent.

Although she also knows that the other party really has no other intentions, just holding the guide map to point out key information to herself, of course, two people must come together to watch it together, it can't be like a vision test, let the other party Hold that picture and stand five meters away and shake yourself twice, right?

"Ripple Qigong is a special ability that uses a special breathing method to generate ripples in the body, thereby generating a powerful force... Wait, why do I tell you this, don't interrupt first, listen to me. "

Xia Ran shook her head and expelled from her mind the proper associations caused by the name "Lisa Lisa", as well as a series of concepts such as "Jojo's Bizarre Adventure", Ripple Qigong, and vampires. .

"Oh, tell me..." Saber nodded obediently, but his mind was spinning quickly.

In that case, maybe the master's main world is not as ordinary as it seems? Although according to the situation she felt, the magic power was basically a pool of stagnant water, but it seemed that there were other miracles.

And that Ripple Qigong, even this magician who can fight with heroic spirits, personally said that it is "powerful power", so it must be a very powerful inheritance of secret skills, right?

Although she still didn't understand, why those store names sounded like they would teach people Ripple Qigong.

"Forget it, let's go directly..." Xia Ran was interrupted by her like this, but she didn't know what to say, so she simply took her there, ready to cut through the mess and solve all the problems directly.

He didn't want to dwell on this kind of thing after buying the clothes and then heading straight to the next location.

But soon after arriving at the destination, Xia Ran suddenly realized that he had overlooked an important issue, not because he was not careful enough, but because he really had no experience in this area.

The surrounding atmosphere is noticeably different, and the space seems to be filled with the scent of flowers and soaps in a space intertwined with pastels and bright tones... Since it is an area dedicated to women, it is obvious that not only is there a surrounding area Female customers, even the surrounding merchandise display is full of clothes, accessories, socks, and...

A wide variety of fashionable lingerie.

“…”

“…”

Xia Ran went silent immediately, and even Saber understood something in an instant, and her cheeks suddenly turned red and thoroughly.

If you're going to buy a full set of everyday clothes, then this kind of thing seems inevitable, right? But, but... although she really doesn't know what to do, asking the Master is the most suitable choice...

No no no, impossible, this is absolutely impossible... Although she never cared about such a thing, and even always felt that it would be best if others treated her as a male.

However, that doesn't mean she can tolerate such shameless things.

"That, saber, I..." Xia Ran finally breathed a sigh of relief and turned to look at the knight girl.

"No! Absolutely not! I...I...I just need to be like this, I don't need to buy clothes or anything." Arturia raised her eyebrows for a moment, and expressed her denial to him very firmly. means to refuse.

"We can..." Xia Ran spoke slowly.

"Absolutely not! Widows and shameless people!"

The magician raised his eyebrows, looked around, and found that there were already a lot of discordant eyes directed at him, but this is also normal. As a man in this area, it is natural that he will be scrutinized .

In addition to Saber's overreaction just now, it naturally aroused the vigilance of many women, whether it was a customer or a clerk... Although he originally wanted to say that he could ask the shopping guide to order a full set directly, not him.

However, because of Saber's overreaction as if he was stepping on his tail, this option seems to have been missed.

Looking around, he always felt that the alert bars on the heads of the women around him were about to be full, and the next question mark turned into a red exclamation mark, so he sighed, and prepared to take Saber's hand to retreat first. .

"Huh? Is that Xia Ran? Ah, it's really Xia Ran! I finally saw you..."

At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded from the side, calling out his name loudly, as if he was very familiar with him.

Xia Ran turned her head to look, and saw a beautiful beautiful woman walking quickly, as if she had caught her prey. This scene seemed familiar, but he relaxed all of a sudden.

Gorgeous black hair, delicate and transparent fair skin, and straight facial features - a very dazzling posture, even if the whole body exudes a sense of innocence, the friendly smile still adds a lot of beauty.

At the same time, Yukinoshita Yangnai also showed a confident smile, and finally let her catch...

But something is wrong!

This kid shouldn't be nervous and worried when he sees himself at this time? Why is it like seeing a savior, with a familiar expression that seems to be really happy to be able to see himself at this time? !

(ps: Happy Labor Day, everyone... take a good rest, um, I may have a rest tomorrow... um um, nod)
