"Alright, Elysia, let's buy you some clothes next." Mei took Elysia around the shopping street.
"Elysia, what kind of clothes do you like?" Standing in the clothing section, Mei asked Elysia.
"Hmm…" Elysia stood there thinking for a long time, but she couldn't decide what kind of clothes she liked; she liked pretty ones, she liked cool ones, and she could accept ordinary ones.
Looking at Elysia like this, Mei knew that Elysia's indecisiveness had struck again.
Mei sighed, then directly pulled Elysia into a nearby store.
"Elysia, if you can't choose, then I'll choose for you."
"Okay, then I'll leave it to you, Mei. Be sure to choose clothes that can make Aili even more beautiful and stylish ♬ ~" Elysia then followed closely by Mei's side. It was really great to have someone help her make choices.
Mei directly asked the shop assistant for a tape measure and first helped Elysia measure her figure, as knowing her figure was essential for choosing suitable clothes.
In terms of height, she was similar to Kiana, but in terms of figure, she was even better than Mei herself.
"Elysia's figure, although it was stunning to see, the data is indeed even more exaggerated," Mei said in an unidentifiable tone.
"Mhm, I'll take that as Mei complimenting me ♬ ~" Elysia remained the same.
"So, have you made any choices? Aili is also eager to see her new self ♬ ~" Elysia looked at Mei, who was walking around the store, and asked with some confusion.
"Elysia's figure is a bit too perfect; I don't know how to choose either," Mei sighed.
"Then just choose what Mei thinks looks best. As long as Mei thinks it looks good, Aili will also think it looks good ♬ ~" Elysia said, pulling Mei.
"Since Aili said so, then…" Mei looked towards the formal wear section.
"Wait, wait, Mei, we're not buying formal wear right now. We're buying everyday clothes. Formal wear is only useful when needed; normally, it just sits there." Elysia quickly stopped Mei from making certain choices.
"Alright," Mei said with some disappointment, turning her gaze to the casual wear section.
Feeling Mei's disappointment, Elysia leaned close to Mei's ear and whispered, "If Mei wants to see it, then when I have my own money, I can wear it just for you ♬ ~"
"I'm not lying ♬ ~" Finally, Elysia added with a light chuckle.
"Okay, I understand, Elysia." Mei nodded. Although she knew it wasn't good, she was still very much looking forward to it.
In the casual wear section, Mei led Elysia around completely. She felt that all these clothes suited Elysia very well, because Elysia's gentle demeanor seemed to allow her to easily pair with any of these clothes.
"Elysia, try this set first." Mei took out a T-shirt from the most pleasing section and then grabbed a pair of shorts based on Elysia's figure.
Elysia looked at the clothes in Mei's hand, took them, and walked to the nearby fitting room.
She took off the clothes she was wearing, hung them on the hook, and then put on the clothes Mei had handed her.
The T-shirt went on easily, but when it came to the shorts, Elysia felt a bit awkward because… they wouldn't pull up.
Elysia had no choice but to take off the shorts, then poke her head out of the changing room, "Mei, Mei."
Hearing Elysia's voice, Mei walked over, "What's wrong, Elysia?"
"That…" Elysia stretched out her hand, holding the shorts. "These shorts are a bit unsuitable; I can't put them on." Elysia's voice became especially soft when she said this, not at all like her usual self.
Looking at Elysia like this, Mei realized that Elysia could also be shy. Before, at school, Elysia could deal with those students so easily that Mei had thought Elysia wouldn't get shy.
"Then I'll go get you another pair. Wait a moment." Mei took the shorts, went back to the original spot, picked up another pair of shorts, and then also grabbed a pair of sandals.
She knocked on the changing room's wooden panel, "Elysia, I've changed them for you."
A hand reached out from inside the changing room. Mei handed the clothes and shoes to this hand, and the hand immediately retracted into the changing room.
This time, the shorts fit perfectly.
She then put on the sandals Mei had just handed her. These were thick-soled sandals, and wearing them made Elysia's figure appear even more upright.
Stepping out of the fitting room, Mei nodded upon seeing her. She did look good.
"Mei, how is it? Do I look good ♬ ~" Elysia even twirled around as she spoke.
"Yes, you look very good, Elysia." Mei took a bag and placed it aside.
"Hmph hmph, after all, I am Miss Aili, loved by everyone ♬ ~" Elysia said, standing in front of the mirror.
"Alright, Elysia, it's time to try the next set." With that, Mei handed her another set of clothes, this time with the shoes already prepared.
"Ah, have you chosen so quickly? I haven't had a good look at myself yet ♬ ~" Although she said this, Elysia still took the clothes Mei handed her and walked into the fitting room.
After a while, she walked out wearing a hooded sweatshirt on top and a short skirt on the bottom.
Mei scanned her from head to toe, her gaze finally resting on Elysia's legs.
"Mei, is there a problem?" Elysia walked to the mirror with some confusion, then looked at her current appearance. There was nothing wrong.
"Indeed, I still can't go bare-legged," Elysia heard Mei say inexplicably.
"Alright, Elysia, prepare for the next set." Mei quickly walked around the area and then handed Elysia another piece of clothing.
"Mhm, mhm." Elysia took the new clothes and walked into the fitting room again.
Just as she took off the skirt, Mei pulled open the changing room curtain and walked in, "Elysia, give me all the clothes you just took off."
Elysia held the skirt she had just taken off to cover her thighs. "Mei, next time, warn me before you come in. You almost scared me to death. I thought a stranger had come in."
"I understand, Elysia." Mei directly reached out and took the clothes Elysia had just worn from the hook. "Oh, and you need to give me the set you're wearing too. I'll wait outside."
After speaking, Mei walked out.
Watching Mei leave, Elysia inexplicably breathed a sigh of relief, then continued to change her clothes.
This time, Mei handed her a dress. The dress was easy to put on, and it had a tie at the waist for cinching.
After getting dressed, Elysia took the changed clothes and walked out of the fitting room.
"Mei, how about this time?" Elysia even let down her high ponytail to match the dress.
Looking at Elysia, who had a completely different vibe, Mei nodded, "You look very good, Elysia. Indeed, Elysia, you are more suited for dresses; they fully bring out your temperament."
"Eh? Really?" After handing the changed clothes to Mei, Elysia walked to the mirror, then lifted her skirt and spun around.
Indeed, she still looked very good.
Elysia nodded with satisfaction.
"Alright, Elysia, for now, we'll just buy these three sets of clothes. We'll come back on the weekend to fill up your wardrobe, Elysia. For now, it's time to buy you some underwear." Mei nodded, then folded the previous two sets of clothes and put them into the bag she had brought.
"Okay." Elysia also didn't plan to buy too much at once, after all, she wasn't using her own money yet.
After changing back into her original clothes, Elysia handed the dress to Mei, and Mei took the clothes to pay.
Finally, they arrived at the underwear specialty store. Since Elysia's measurements had been taken beforehand, there was no need to measure again here.
Mei told Elysia to just pick what she liked.
Elysia picked and chose, and in the end, only selected three sets of underwear, which perfectly matched the clothes she had bought.
The reason was still the same as before: since it wasn't her own money, she had to be frugal.
By the time they left the shop, it was already evening.
The sun cast an orange glow from afar, stretching their shadows long.
The two chatted and laughed all the way back to their residence.
In front of the residence, there was a very large box, and this box contained all the various items they had just bought.
After putting the clothes into the wardrobe, Elysia and Mei prepared to work together to carry the box upstairs.
Mei had originally intended to carry it alone, as in her opinion, Elysia, who hadn't been trained, probably didn't have much strength.
But Elysia proved with her actions that she could help.
After carrying the box upstairs, the moment they opened it, the mattress popped out of the box.
Elysia looked at the mattress in surprise, then at the box.
How on earth did it fit in there??
Mei wasn't particularly surprised (because she had already experienced it) and quickly helped Elysia arrange the mattress and other items.
"The quilt and other things should ideally be aired or washed before use, but it's too late now. Just bear with it for tonight, Elysia, and we'll air them tomorrow," Mei said while making the bed.
"Mhm, I'll listen to you." Elysia nodded, then took out other daily necessities from the box and placed them in a small drawer specifically for such items.
The toiletries were taken directly to the bathroom. After labeling her cup, she placed it on the designated shelf.
She then returned to the room and began to install the curtains she had chosen with Mei.
Once the curtains were installed, Elysia's little nest was basically set up. This would now be the cozy home where Elysia would live for a long time!
