Chapter 4: Shopping

Observing the carefree nun with slight wonder, Yuri felt shocked that the Archbishop of such an amazing place was this air headed woman barely in her early twenties.

“I guess I should call you Bishop now..?”

“Just Mako is fine, we’re friends now after all, girlfriends ehehe~”

Giggling slightly, Mako picked up Yuri and sat her on her Knee like a small child.

“Hey stop that damnit! I’m not your girlfriend, I’m a man! Did you forget!? A man!”

Yuri upset yelling caused several of the nearby people in adjacent Floating boats to turn their attention towards their boat.

Once they saw that it was the Archbishops boat however, all of them made a slightly awkward expression of recognition. As if to say “oh it’s her again, as usual”.

“-And why the hell are you treating me like a child!?”

Yuri struggled against Mako’s grasp while she continued to snuggle the petite girl on her lap.

“Because you’re so cute, of course!”

Continuing to enjoy herself, Mako began to nonchalantly pinch Yuri’s cheeks.

“I said no!!” Yuri leapt away from Mako’s embrace, almost falling off the edge of the boat.

“I would be more careful if I were you, even if you survive the fall, your body will be lost in the current”

Smiling mischievously at the frightened looking Yuri, Mako looked up as the boat slowly came to a stop.

“Ah this is our stop, time sure flows quickly when you’re having fun~”

Lightly jumping off onto the ground below, she urged Yuri to follow her.

“You’re the only one having fun though…”

Sighing, Yuri nimbly jumped off the boat as well. Landing on the ground barely a meter below.

“Welcome! To the shopping district of Magnadum!”

Announcing loudly, Mako struck a dramatic presenting pose.

The so called shopping district as Mako declared it. Was nothing more than a few stalls gathered in a small corner of the street.

“….Yes….it’s nice…..?” Yuri strained a smile at the pitiful sight.

“Well, let’s go replace those ripped clothes of yours!”

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

Mako unceremoniously dragged Yuri towards a stall containing all manner of colorful clothing.

“Hey bob, have anything cute for my new friend here?” She asked the merchant at the stall.

“Ah, Master Bishop, welcome again, yes yes I have many things that would fit a young miss like her, anything specific?”

The merchant speaking to Mako had every inch of his body, except for his eyes, covered in several layers of clothing, that made one wonder how he did not suffocate underneath all that.

“Hmmm…how about something pink…with a skirt..maybe a short one?”

The cloth covered merchant rummaged through the mountains of clothes behind him while Mako spoke thoughtfully.

“Hah? Pink? Skirt? What the hell!? Why would I wear something like that? I’m a man dammit I would rather have a black suit!”

Snapping at Mako, Yuri stomped her little foot on the ground angrily.

“Yuri…dear..you can either wear what I tell you to..or you can be escorted out of the city..naked.”

Mako’s eyes stared through Yuri’s entire being as she spoke in a dangerously low tone, causing Yuri’s new small body to shiver with fear.

“Ah- no- it’s fine, I’m not that picky with my clothes…ahaha…” Yuri worriedly resigned herself to her fate.

“Ah, here we go, yes yes, these will fit the young miss nicely!”

An outfit that could only be described as something a twin tailed magical girl would wear was handed to Mako by the merchant.

“Perfect, I’ll take it, you already altered it to fit anyone who wears it, right?”

Observing the clothes with a smile, Mako asked a question that was more of a statement than a real question.

“Of course! It saddens me that you still doubt me!”

The merchant exclaimed in an obviously fake hurt tone. “Forward the bill to the priests tab, right?”

“The usual” Mako waved her hand nonchalantly, busy with observing the clothes.

“Yes yes, the priests tab it is then, they’re going to be furious with you again, heh” The merchant began sorting through the massive pile of clothes.

“Alright, now stay really still, or this will hurt”

Turning towards Yuri with the clothes ready in her hands, Mako slowly warned Yuri

A mere moment later the clothes in her hands vanished and appeared on Yuri.

“Woah!? Is this also magic!?”

Looking over her new clothes with amazement, Yuri exclaimed with surprise, while still managing to look as displeased as possible due to the fact that she was forced to wear such frilly clothes.

“Oh no, this is just from my many years of experience, nothing to do with magic at all~”

She spoke as if the fact that her hands moved faster than the human eye could perceive was not a big deal at all.

“And you should probably hide the knife underneath your clothes, after all its a godly item, people have gone to wars over those” She dragged Yuri along the street.

“Huh? Aren’t you going to take it? I thought it was one of the holy relics of whatever that your god possessed?”

Yuri appeared confused as she was dragged by Mako.

“Well…yes it is. But I have a feeling.. gut feeling that it’s better to leave it with you..”

Makos expression briefly flickered to a serious one, before quickly reverting to her usual carefree smile.

“Sure..i won’t say no to something valuable I guess..but where are we going..?

Looking around at the sights while being dragged by the collar along the ground, Yuri asked with some interest.

“To the main church building of course, where I live, you will also be living there from now on. It’s the least I could do to make up for your situation on behalf of our goddess, since it is my job to do that after all”

Yuri thought that the young nun looked very reliable when she said that.

“-And I will have a cute little toy to play with of course…mnn~”

Aaaand, the reliable impression that Yuri briefly saw was shattered into small pieces, leaving only the impression of an air headed big breasted monster.
