*This one wasn't planned to go so long. I couldn't get everything in what i originaly wanted to get trough with. I am splitting them into two parts. First one is 22 normpages worth [with spacing], the other half is already at 15 normpages .... Probably going to fuse these two sometime later. Will be biggest chapter yet ....*

Chapter 7: ...Extension of the City strolling.

After dinner was finished. Around 4 to 5 pm.

Finally outside of that hooter's variant pub. Shortly before the atmosphere got a bit dense. When one waitress poured some ale over her clothes. Like …. how Ari glared at me for no reasons. But she wouldn't listen to my reason. So let's keep strolling trough the city a bit more. I still have an objective. New clothes. More so then ever now. I need to replace this dangerously looking short dress. And we probably need some clothes for Ari and Sara too …. these uniforms stand out way too much for my taste. Just being outside I spoke my mind to the two.

Jacky: “We should go find some clothing shop. Is there something around like that, close by?”

Sara: “Hmm. I get what you mean. I think there was one just a short walk from here, that's selling clothes for fair prizes~”

Ari: “We aren't going back?”

Ari …. we didn't even get started! I want to explore till we drop~

Jacky: “Not even close to going back~”

Sara: “Yes~”

Ari: “ …. won't it get late ….”

Jacky: “That's the point of going out to play, Ari. Just enjoy the time.”

Sara: “Right~ Jacky is sure knowledgeable about outdoor activity~”

Not that much actually. I am more of an indoor person. As long as outdoor is described as socializing with people. Nature has me back a few times a year. But pub's and such were never my forte. I want to experience some medieval like pub night~ People here need to have some fun too. As no one knows me, there's nothing to lose~

Ari: “ …. won't we get into trouble?”

Sara: “If we're back before sunrise it should be fine~”

Jacky: “Hmm …. maybe a little earlier then sunrise. I don't know what's planned for tomorrow.”

Sara: “Ah ….”

Ari: “Okay~”

Sorry Sara, but it's probably better. We still should get that outdoor night flavor~ Let's get going. I hope they sell normal clothes at that shop.

After some walking without much window shopping. We made it to the clothing's shop. Better to say, tailor shop. There were only a few dresses spread out on simple stick mannequins. A Old Lady was seated behind a counter, while reading a book. Business …. doesn't seem to strife.

Sara: “Hello there~ Can we check out the clothes in storage?”

Old Lady: “ …. sure go ahead. Know the way?”

Sara: “I will find there myself~”

Storage? What's up with that. Why aren't they setting the clothes up for sale …. are they that bad ….

Jacky: “ ….”

Sara: “Hmm?”

Ari: “?”

Jacky: “Isn't it normal to lay out what is for sale?”

Sara: “Ah that. How to explain. Hmm, better security?”

Jacky: “Oh so it's that.”

That's logical. It does seem easy to steal something from a shop filled with things. If someone directs the attention, while someone else steals. So to prevent that, most wares aren't out? A bit of a bummer to window shoppers. But this shop doesn't even care to clean the glass window enough to be see trough. It's rather dim lit in here.

Sara: “Follow me~”

Jacky: “Right.”

Ari: “Yes.”

Whoa. What's up with this. Behind a door was a room filled with the same mannequins. Every mannequin wore something different. There were dresses, costume like things, normal street wear for men, work wear for both genders, some risky outfits and many more kinds of kinky stuff.

Jacky: “ ….”

Ari: “Whoa ….”

Sara: “Great isn't?”

What was more shocking? The amount of different styles. That the room was triple the size of the other. Or the 10 or so women browsing in here already.

Jacky: “ …. maybe I should leave ….”

Sara: “Oh, that's right …. I forgot.”

Ari: “Why? Didn't we come here to buy you a new dress?”

…. I am fine with buying something here. But a good portion of the women here. Were either undressing, trying out different attire or walking around with just underwear. It was that.

A female only shop …. the male warez, most likely for that kind. For the woman that wants to dress as a man or manly. I planned to do so …. as I am male deep inside. Dresses are uncomfortable ….

Ari: “Ah ….”

Jacky: “Even Ari got it. I think it will be best, if you just get me something. Less frilly and dress like.”

Sara: “Hmm ….”

Hey. Sara was just shoving me further in. Okay, okay. I get it.

Jacky: “Fine …. let's get this over with.”

Sara: “It will work out~ No one knows~”

Ari: “ ….”

We got some eyes on us. As we made a small commotion while getting inside. But interest on our persona did fall immediately again. Nothing to see here of interest. Except some noisy young women~

Jacky: “I will browse trough what is offered there.”

Sara: “Going to search for some cute underwear~”

Jacky: “Please …. search for yourself only. For that matter, get yourself some normal street wear too.”

Ari: “Street wear?”

Sara: “Ohh, that's right. It would be better without these uniforms.”

Ari: “I-i like them ….”

My hand was patting Ari's head. What made her focus on me instantly.

Jacky: “I don't dislike them Ari. But they are too flashy and unusual. So search for something that you like.”

Ari: “ …. what I like ….”

Sara: “Just come with me Ari~”

Ari: “Ah … no. I will stay with master.”

Jacky: “It's Jacky now.”

Ari: “ …. Jacky ….”

Remember that already Ari. It's going to get me into trouble. At least you aren't using [Hero] in public. Even for a slave …. what were you taught by the ones bringing you up.

Jacky: “Just come here Ari. We will look trough the clothes, that are over there.”

I pointed to an area with more practical looking stuff. A good portion was of the manly looking kind. But there were some cute ones mixed in too. Getting closer to it was some kind of challenge.

Jacky: “Like a maze ….”

Ari: “We could have gone straight to it?”

Yes, now your full of common sense. Get it, I am dodging the ones that are browsing here. I may want to ogle them, but what would you think of that. I would want them gone from the shop …. So I will avert my mind and eyes. That is what I wanted to do at least.

Jacky: “ ….”

DON'T pick up something you dropped in that manner! Before me in the passage was a young woman picking up some clothes. With everything clearly visible. As in, all natural nude style. It was a nice sight. Her curves were just right. A nice well toned behind~ Some juicy but not fat thighs. Hair trimmed away, but leaving a small triangle out above her clitoris. Don't finish now ….

Female Nudist: “Hello there~ How can I be of help?”

Jacky: “ ….”

Ari: “ ….”

Female Nudist: “Is something wrong?”

Jacky: “N-nothing. We just wanted to pass through here ….”

Oh god. I was a bit distracted there …. Her face is really pretty too. Kind blue eyes, full red lips, brown short hair …. Her photos would sell really well ….

Female Nudist: “Ah,sorry. Please go on. If you got any trouble, just call me.”

She pointed with one of her fingers at a well formed breast. I would have noticed it before …. but checking that didn't happen. A small pin was located at her right nipple. In letters not known to me something was written on it. Yes, a perverted shop clerk was spotted.

Female Nudist Clerk: “Call me if you want an opinion~”

Jacky: “Sure.”

Ari: “ ….”

Okay. Is it just me, or am I really attracting perverts? Where am I in that ranking …. Ah no good. Let's just try on something.

Ari: “Is that normal?”

Jacky: “ …. don't point Ari. Just don't ….”

Ari: “ ….”

Skimming through the area full of mannequins. I found a variety of clothes that would suit my taste. Trousers, mostly leather ones. Blouses, non-frilly. Some kind of textile jacket, which was held in an grass green. I even found a hat, with a feather sticking on it. What was that called again? Barret? Berret? Berit?

Doesn't really matter. It's probably named differently here anyways.

Jacky: “I will try these on.”

Ari: “ …. isn't that for males ….”

Jacky: “It's both gender legit. And I dislike wearing dresses.”

Ari: “But master is looking good in a dress ….”

Jacky: “Ha …. Jacky it is still.”

Making puppy eyes for apologizing is getting old Ari. That is loosing effectiveness, the more you use it. And your way to old for it to have an effect. How old are you in your mind, 7?

Jacky: “Ari. Just remember it.”

Ari: “ …. would I look good in male clothing ….”

Jacky: “Hmm.”

Ari in trousers. I averted my face from her.

Jacky: “Probably.”

Oh god. Why did I imagine her in a butlers uniform. Dressed up in black, with an white shirt. It would fit to her image …. if her personalty were a bit more refined. Worse, I imagined me undressing her …. while fighting back a bit now.

Jacky: “ …. don't take a uniform like set.”

Ari: “Yes?”

I will need to pet her. Or I am going crazy tonight ….

A few minutes after changing.

Jacky: “Hmm. Looks decent.”

I wore a light green leather trouser. That textile jacket I had in my hands from before. It was more practical then I had thought. There were pockets inside and outside, cleverly hidden with needle work. The size of the jacket was a bit to large. Under it I had a simple white blouse, I just picked the one that was simple in design. As last part I had taken a liking to that hat with a feather on it. The green color matched well to the others.

Jacky: “How much is this ….”

Money wise I hoped that there were labels somewhere. But nothing of the sort was attached. I couldn't even ask Sara, that I had spotted a few rows away from me. Should I ask that clerk ….

Ari: “Ma- … J-jacky …. is this good?”

Jacky: “Wow, were did you find that?”

Ari: “Down there ….”

Jacky: “And yes, it's nice. Suit's you really well.”

Ari just found something unique. An Overall looking one piece. Kind of like a jumpsuit. But more baggy, with one large pocket on the left side. I wonder for what that is designed. Her tail is visible, so there was already a hole for that.

Jacky: “Ari, can you turn slowly one time please?”

Ari: “Yes!”

Ari happily showed of what she found. Yeah that isn't bad at all. I kind of want to smear some oil on her face now. And give her a wrench~ Ohh, I need a camera!

Jacky: “We will take that. If you like it.”

Ari: “Does it look nice?”

Jacky: “I wouldn't say my previous answer, if it weren't so~”

Ari: “Hehe~”

*Pat Pat* Petting Ari while dressing up in different clothes. Has an all new vibe~ I somehow can understand cosplayers now. The imagination certainly runs freely~

I kind of want one of these too …. Guess I will just hop into Ari's~ While she's still inside~ It's baggy, so it will workout somehow. Ari really seems to like being subjected to intense hugging~

Sara: “Hey you two. Don't go off somewhere strange~”

Jacky: “Sara you're to loud. Hmm, found something good too.”

Sara: “Thanks. But what's with the outfit you two chose ….”

Jacky: “It's bad?”

If you discover this narrative on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the violation.

Sara: “Not exactly. But Jacky really looks more like a man now. With shorter hair, one couldn't exactly decided what you are ….”

Jacky: “Perfect then~”

I probably would change for an horse jockey or pilot outfit although. Now that Ari is looking like that. Hehe~

This is becoming more of an dress up game, then shopping for street wear. Sara's choice was a long one piece dress. Which had a a rip from the bottom too her hip. Which got narrower, the further it went up. It was shoulder and back free. Naturally in a black color~ Looking at it …. isn't that too expensive?

Jacky: “ …. can we afford all this ….”

Sara: “It should work out. Worst comes worst, I will manage it.”

Ari: “Sara can do without ….”

Ari, 10 Points cuteness bonus earned. You would rather keep the outfit I praised you in. Then to allow a long term friend to have her's? That's greedy, but somehow just too cute~ Come here~

Ari: “Wha, master!”

Jacky: “It's Jacky …. you're ruining it ….”

Ari: “S-sorry ….”

I just wanted to hug her a bit. Maybe molesting her ear~ Why can't she keep remembering that it's not master outside of the palace …. That's such a bummer ….

Sara: “Let's go buy these. Before some people are starting to swarm you two~”

Jacky: “Right.”

Ari: “ ….”

I saw what she meant. This room is filled with perverts. Where the clerk is maybe the least to worry about. Better to take this somewhere else …. We stepped into the room with the old lady on the counter again. Time to pay for these clothes. Moving towards her, Sara stopped me.

Sara: “Let me do the talk~”

Sure confident. I hope you know what to do. I just let Sara go first.

Sara: “We would like to buy these. 10 silver coins should be alright~”

Old Lady: “So do you? I say that it amounts to at least 30 silver coins. Pay up~”

Sara: “W-WHAT”

Old Lady: “31 silver coins then~ Don't waste my time.”

…. that's it. Don't look at me with an /i am sorry/ after all what you said …. Gosh, perverts and idiots. I am surround by nothing else!

Jacky: “31 silver coins are too much. Cut it cheaper.”

Old Lady: “Oh, why should I? That dress is 11 silver coins alone.”

Pointing at Sara's chosen street wear. The Old Lady just smiled confidently. While leaning back in her chair, still reading her book.

Jacky: “You wont cut us a discount?”

Old Lady: “Do I look like that?”

Jacky: “Then how about this.”

I moved to the counter and put the burned dress down on it.

Even if it is burned. The fabric is smooth and looks expensive.

Old Lady: “Hmm, 2 silver coins.”

Jacky: “ …. that's just wrong!”

Old Lady: “This is damaged. Even badly so~”

That Old Lady just took a short glance and destroyed my hoeps. Before I could follow up with an argument. Sara came close to me. Whispering into my ear.

Sara: “Use some fire , we will make a run for it.”

Jacky: “ ….”

Sara. For one, I don't steal. And if I wanted too. No whispering around while having the soon to be stolen from close by ….

Old Lady: “So so~”

Jacky: “We're not doing that.”

I hit Sara on the head. Don't cry, it's fully your own fault. I am going to make you run around the palace tomorrow. With me on your back~ While holding your breasts, so that they aren't in the way~

Old Lady: “Hmm, fire. Was that flame magic in the sky your doing?”

Jacky: “Yes.”

Wait I can use this can't I? Think hard.

Old Lady: “I heard of it. Some street performance that was. With fire magic and a dress burning somewhat. So you three are them.”

Jacky: “This dress is clearly more worth then 2 silver coins. It's atleast worth 40.”

Old Lady: “40! ARE YOU CRAZY CHILD! Even non-damaged this wouldn't be more worth then 20 silver coins!”

Jacky: “But it is, damaged. That is the point.”

Old Lady: “ …. …. … … so you say ….”

Just standing there and waiting. I have time Old Lady. This now works in my favor. You should never have mentioned our performance. And then react that shocked.

Old Lady: “How comes you're so sure of it. Just a moment ago, this was nothing of worth to you~”

Jacky: “Because it's now for you.”

Old Lady: “Hahaha! I seldom hear such a lie that the liar is so convinced of!”

Jacky: “But isn't this the burned dress. The one and only that so many people saw me wearing. There exists not a second one. Surely some people are going to be willing to pay a grand amount for it.”

The Old Lady leant forward. Finally put the book down, which she still was reading up to now. And looking me straight into the eyes.

Old Lady: “So you do have more brain, then that scarecrow there. Let me tell you something. I will buy your burnt dress here. But only under two conditions~”

Jacky: “That would be?”

Old Lady: “First. If not sold in 10 days, I will give it back to you. You will owe me 40 silver coins then. Second! You will sign a paper stating that this is truly what it is said to be~”

Jacky: “I am alright with these conditions. But she will read through what will be signed.”

I moved to the stunned Sara. Pushed her to the counter. Just grinning madly watching her go /uhh yes …./ with her facial expression. Having an fake smile plastered on her face. I hope that you can understand formal business language too Sara. I will shove any extra claims onto you~

Old Lady: “Hmm, wait a moment. I will write it up nice and easy to understand~”

Sara: “Y-yes ….”

Ari, what do my tired eyes see there. Are you pitying the goddess Sara~ She said /let me do it/ worst comes worst, it's slavery for her~ Ah wait.

Jacky: “ …. add Sara as assurance for all possible extra charges. That might come up, duo late payment and such~”

Old Lady: “Hmm, sure sure~ But I won't go as far as to trick you~”

Sara: “ …. assurance ….”

Jacky: “Just read carefully Sara~”

Sara: “Ugh ….”

Jacky: “About checking the 10 days thing. We will come over when it's time~”

Old Lady: “Sure~ But I can find you anyways~”

After the Old Lady finished writing up the contract. Sara double and triple checked it. With an slight hesitation she handed it too me.

Sara: “It's just what was said.”

Jacky: “Okay, then here.”

Old Lady: “Hmm? What are these signs for? Still the thumb print is enough. So that sets this problem.”

…. Damn , force of habit. I wrote down my name. My full one to both …. I kind of want that paper back. But it's already sacked …. literally. Won't be a problem. No one can read that. Hopefully ….

Jacky: “So we're good to go. Bye Miss Shop Owner, have an good evening.”

Old Lady: “HoHo~ I wish you an good evening too. See you next time~”

I went into the motion to leave. Just to go back and grab Ari's hand.

Jacky: “Sara, come we are leaving. Better be ready for that punishment.”

Sara: “ …. I didn't do anything wrong!”

Jacky: “Sure. Then you don't have anything to fear~ Do you?”

Sara: “ ….”

Ari: “Bad Sara~”

Sara: “ …. that's not funny ….”

Being outside in a safe distance, I finaly could relax again. Ha~

Jacky: “Ari get on my eyes level, pleaes~”

Ari: “I-i didn't do anything wrong!”

Jacky: “Just do it~”

Ari: “Y-yes ….”

Jacky: “There~ There, good girl Ari is more clever then Sara~”

Hehe~ Hugging and petting. I needed that badly. It's soothing for my heart, after all nothing beats this. Puh~ Feeling better already.

Ari: “I-i am not a kid ….”

Jacky: “So you don't want to hug?”

Ari: “ …. I do want to hug ….”

Jacky: “Then how about a kiss for Ari~”

Female Kid 3: “NOOOOOOOO!! Don't dirty Sister you beast!”

That kid came out of nowhere and pushed Ari away with a tackle attack. Falling down to the ground head first, the kid began to cry …. While still laying down.

Jacky: “ ….”

Ari: “ ….”

Sara: “ What ….”

Why? And what's with that foul mouth! Mother goose I found your missing black swan. People were already starting to look towards us …. this is bad.

Sara: “ …. come don't cry. It's alright.”

Female Kid 3: “Don't talk to me dirty pig! Leave me and my sister alone! Ugly [Demon] pig!”

*slap*

Sara just went from motherly love, too berseker mode. The kid was already in an pose similar to push ups. When Sara slapped her on the face. Immediately afterward her face greeted the ground again. The girl made an *uuh* sound while crying. That must hurt ….

Jacky: “ …. don't hit her ….”

Sara: “DID YOU HEAR THAT?”

Ari: “ …. Sara …. is sad.”

Jacky: “Don't hit kids. That won't teach them anything ….”

The culprit of that surprise tackle attack. A verbal badmouthing and the attention magnet for all the people around. Was getting up now.

Jacky: “ …. let me help you ….”

Female Kid 3: “WHA! SISTER!!”

Jacky: “ …. it's alright, d-don't cry.”

Female Kid 3: “THAT UGLY ONE HIT ME!!”

Jacky: “ ….”

Sara was close to slapping her again. Ari just watched it calmly. She didn't mind her being attacked …. You have a good heart Ari. Or are you just nice to kids?

Female Kid 3: “DONT GO AWAY AGAIN!! WHAHAHA!”

Jacky: “ ….”

Oh, this is bad. In many terms. Does that kid know this body previous owner …. Sister …. ugh, I feel like being punched in the gut from these words ….

Jacky: “Don't cry. I-it's okay ….. Sister had just something important to do ….”

Female Kid 3: “ …. *sniff* ….”

Jacky: “There, good girl~ Calm down.”

Hah …. I want to run away. Nothing good can come from this. This is worst case. After being assassinated, losing the ones I call friends or love. That statement is so without power too …. /Sister had something important to do. She played around all day~/ this kid should be the best to know that. She watched me do that performance …. did she follow me from there on …. Good work mind~ Couldn't come up with something better?

Female Kid 3: “ …. why is Sister not …. not coming home ….”

Jacky: “Ah, that ….”

Female Kid 3: “ …. hates me ….?”

Whoa stop with the extreme puppy eyes. Are you planning on killing me with guilt …. That upturned face while hugging me …. just like my little brother when I leave from visiting family …. asking when I come again to play …. Urgh!

Jacky: “I …. don't hate you. Just …. don't insult my friends ….”

Female Kid 3: “ ….”

Jacky: “I wanted to come …. surprise you today. Seems like you found out~ Hehe~”

Female Kid 3: “ …. that's why Sister …. wears this kind of thing ….”

Jacky: “Yes~ See, so be a good girl.”

Female Kid 3: “Yes Sister!”

Snot faced and smiling …. uwah stop rubbing it onto me. What did I do to deserve this luck. I shall conduct imminent research of my evil doings …. But at least she's not visible hurt. Tough little girl … with an lose mouth. I can't imagine what our mother is like. You even have a different hair color then this body …. Round shining hazelnut brown eyes, the same color as her hair. A doll like face …. covered in dirt, snoot and some tears. Such a small statue, not even half my height. Kneeling down to her, she just reaches up to my chest. I took her Sister away …. even if she volunteered, what did that person think. Leaving behind her loved ones …. I don't want to …. but I think I need to visit her home ….

Part 1 end.
