Alex also looked towards the source of the sound. Not far away seemed to be the area where Chiori was located.
At this moment, Chiori was holding two Swords, glaring angrily at the elegantly dressed noble lying on the ground.
What just happened?
With that question, Alex also paused his business and ran over to get a closer look at the situation.
Arriving not far from where Chiori was, he immediately saw more clearly: a burly man with a fierce face was lying on the open ground ahead.
"Murder! Murder! Officers, please judge! This country bumpkin from Inazuma actually hit someone in front of so many people!" The man, who had momentarily lost consciousness after being knocked to the ground, quickly regained it and immediately shouted at the surrounding Gardes.
Alex secretly chuckled to himself at this. Hearing the man call Chiori a country bumpkin from Inazuma, he thought of someone.
Chiori put away her weapons and said to Chevreuse, who was walking over: "It's like this. This person not only cut in line and affected several customers before him, but he also said these clothes had no taste, and even knocked over my clothes rack, getting mud and dust on the clothes."
"That's right! I can prove it!" At this moment, Charlotte, standing beside Chiori, raised her hand, pulled out her camera, and looked delighted.
Haha, to actually encounter this, it's truly news coming to her!
"Is that so? Let me see..." Chevreuse said, walking over to Charlotte and looking at a few pictures Charlotte had just taken.
"Mhm... Mhm!" After seeing them, Chevreuse nodded repeatedly. At this point, another Gardes member came over to act as a witness.
So... Chevreuse looked at the man still lying on the ground, refusing to get up, and directly told the surrounding Gardes: "Two of you, take him away. His crime is provoking trouble. The evidence is conclusive; he'll be detained for a minimum of two and a half days and fined 50,000 Mora. For severe cases, the penalty will be doubled."
"This is an injustice! An injustice! You can't do this! I am a noble of Fontaine!" The man, filled with indignation, was taken away.
"However..." Chevreuse looked at Chiori, then at the clothes lying on the ground: "Given that you are the victim, this is the last time. There will be no next time."
It turns out this Damselette's status is quite high; she seems to be a squad leader. Chiori nodded and began to silently pick up the clothes rack, frowning slightly, her tone full of helplessness: "Sigh, I don't want it to be like this, but there are always these little troubles."
One last time! Chiori isn't the kind of person to look for trouble, but with her fiery temper, how could she tolerate these people? As long as she's in the right, teaching them a lesson is no problem. The officers wouldn't stop her.
"Well done, that's satisfying! For people like him, knocking him to the ground is letting him off easy. Next time I encounter such a bad guy..." Alex came to Chiori's side and continued.
"I swear, my friends, I will definitely kick his butt hard with my boots."
It was a strong translation style, but they didn't understand, haha.
"Mhm, not bad!" Chiori also felt that kicking someone's butt was better than directly using two Swords to knock them down.
And so, Chiori would gradually develop the habit of directly kicking the butts of troublemakers, preferably kicking them into a ditch. This was all due to Alex's words at this moment.
Kick mine, kick mine! This sentence drifted from somewhere unknown.
"How wonderful!... Miss Chiori, would it be convenient for an post-event interview?" Seeing the incident resolved so simply, Charlotte couldn't help but say to Chiori in a familiar tone.
"No, thanks! There's really nothing newsworthy; I just dealt with some trash casually..." Chiori quickly refused.
"I provided such important evidence for you! An interview in return isn't too much, is it?" Charlotte persisted, playing the favor card.
"Ugh..." So troublesome, so troublesome. Chiori was a little regretful. In fact, she didn't need to get along well with reporters, did she?
Despite this, she just answered a few of Charlotte's questions, and Charlotte then ran off to the side to organize the abundant harvest of the day.
Finally, Charlotte waved goodbye to everyone and quickly ran back to The Steambird headquarters.
Chiori had a great harvest today, meeting many beloved wealthy and powerful people, and acquiring several new tailoring orders.
Of course, these were all ladies and young misses with an eye for fashion.
As for the gentlemen, each and every one of them was stubborn and didn't take to her designs, content with their own. They still didn't understand trends.
For example, Mr. Alex was very indifferent to his attire; the style she designed for him was also casual and relaxed.
She couldn't just be satisfied with this! It seemed she still needed to prepare well and strive to make "Chiori Tailor Shop" more famous, so that more gentlemen would come to her for custom clothing.
Only by becoming more famous would everyone, regardless of gender, come to Chiori Tailor Shop to buy and customize clothing.
Take them, take them... Chiori began to move the clothes racks one by one back to Chiori Tailor Shop not far away.
The idle ladies and young misses had also waited for a long time and followed Chiori to the shop she mentioned.
And so, a group of noble Damselettes happily gathered and chatted in Chiori Tailor Shop.
Chiori, back in her shop, was indifferent to their conversations, only occasionally answering when someone asked.
Today, Chiori's sales volume was impressive; she sold over a dozen beautiful women's outfits in one go, earning a lot of capital.
Now Chiori was even richer, perhaps it was time to consider spending a good amount of Mora to beautifully decorate the shop.
Chiori went into the back room and looked at the Aili Xiya figurine she had acquired, placed inside the room.
She silently pulled out scissors, aiming at the somewhat dirty and wrinkled clothes that had been put back.
"Snip, snip, snip." She started cutting. Who says? Ready-made clothes can't be re-cut and turned into new ones?
"Crisp as silk brocade."
That's how it is, meow~
Over at Alex's, it was clear that he felt there were fewer people than two hours ago. Perhaps everyone in Fontaine had just come to Lione District, and now they had all returned after getting their Primogems. No new 'leeks' had appeared.
"Leeks, oh leeks! Where are my leeks?" Alex sprawled on the car table. Although he had been very busy just now, the Primogems kept increasing rapidly, which made him very happy.
Once the peak period passed, Alex cried piteously. It was really uncomfortable when no one was watching, no one was exchanging!
Alex pulled out his phone and stared at the ten-pull, constantly struggling internally. In the end, he held back. He was a hoarder; his current combat pressure wasn't that great, so he'd better save up for a guaranteed pull for Furina.
Or he could hoard a bit more; Furina's beginner's luck halo might be gone.
He should immediately go to Mondstadt to find Klee, play with her, and fish blast with her. Then find a way to get her to help with gacha pulls.
"Jumpy Dumpty," huh... Alex thought of Klee. Perhaps she might even pull a five-star rocket launcher for him in the future... Well, that would be amazing; he'd take off directly. He needed that kind of long-range artillery suppression now; summons would tank in front, and he'd fire wildly from behind.
