EP.11 The Demon King Goes Out to Buy Clothes
"Sorry, the branch chief is out at the moment…"
Unfortunately, I wasn't able to meet Flora, whom I knew.
All I got was the news that she had just barely gone out; there was nothing else to gain.
'I should have come out a little earlier.'
But it couldn't be helped.
Satiana's body was just too alluring.
It took time to wash up again, and as a result, it was already almost evening.
"When will she be back?"
"Um… well… she went to investigate a dungeon, so it's hard to say how long it'll take…"
"So it won't be anytime soon."
Even if it ends quickly, it'll take at least a day.
If the dungeon is big or complicated, it'll take even longer.
My plan to meet her and ask for help before buying clothes was ruined from the start.
"Ugh… what are we doing here, anyway…"
Satiana seemed eager to go buy clothes.
She wasn't used to the human world, but at least she knew this wasn't a clothing store.
"There was someone who could help us… but I guess we came too late."
"If you hadn't wasted time at the inn… there wouldn't be any problem."
"But you enjoyed it, didn't you?"
I subtly touched her butt.
It was at an angle where the receptionist couldn't see, and Satiana flinched in surprise.
"Eek… d-don't do that…!"
Her tiny whisper was actually really cute.
Her face turned red, probably worried someone would notice. Luckily, the receptionist didn't seem interested in Satiana.
"Should I let her know when the branch chief returns? If it's important, just give me your name and your business."
"Ah… it's not that important."
The receptionist didn't seem to know who I was.
There was no need to let anyone know that the hero was looking for the guild's branch chief.
'If I could have met her right away, it would be different… For now, I guess we'll just buy clothes and look around the village.'
So, the plan changed.
I'd walk around the village I hadn't seen in a while and buy some clothes.
Originally, buying clothes was just a side task, but now there was nothing else to do.
'Come to think of it… maybe I should check out that shop run by that person?'
What came to mind was a hidden shop in a back alley.
If it weren't for a quest I got long ago, I wouldn't have even known it existed.
"Ugh… we're done here, so buy me clothes like you promised!"
"Yeah. I was going to do that anyway."
"If you pick something weird, you'd better be ready for the consequences."
Satiana was on high alert until we left the guild.
After what she'd been through, she was clearly determined not to let me pick weird clothes.
But the temptation of seeing the Demon King in a sexy outfit was hard to resist.
"Hmmm…"
"What are you doing…? Don't tell me… you're not thinking of buying something weird, are you? Like you said… ugh…! I-I endured, so keep your promise!"
"It's true, it's been well over an hour. I'll keep my promise."
"You don't look very trustworthy, though…"
She was suspicious.
It didn't seem like she'd just wear whatever I picked.
If I wanted to see her in a sexy outfit, I'd have to set some conditions.
"Alright. How about we make a deal?"
"A deal…?"
"We'll buy one completely normal outfit in the shop, and I get to pick a few others. You can choose which ones to actually wear."
She could choose for herself.
Just that fact made Satiana look relieved.
She figured she could just not wear whatever I picked.
"Fine. That much is okay. I'm not going to wear whatever you pick anyway."
"If you can't decide, I'll pick for you."
"That won't be necessary!"
Even if she didn't wear them right away, I'd get a chance to see her in them later.
The important thing was that the condition was to pick the most normal outfit in the shop.
'If we go to that kind of shop, it won't be easy to find something normal.'
Especially since Satiana was a Demon King who lived in the Demon King's castle.
She didn't know much about human life.
She probably wouldn't even think of going to another shop. And even if she did, I could just say there were no other options.
"Then it's decided."
"Don't break your promise."
"You sure are picky, considering you've been wearing rags until now."
"Tch… It's because I'm worried you'll make me wear something weird!"
"For a Demon King, you sure get embarrassed easily."
When I hit the mark, Satiana's body trembled.
She shouted back, her pride on the line.
"T-that's not true…!"
"Just don't make a scene when we get there. There's nothing more pathetic than the Demon King throwing a fit over a piece of clothing."
"Of course I won't…! But if you say no to what I pick, I won't forgive you!"
Satiana glared at me with wary eyes.
She was also venting her frustration from all the humiliation she'd suffered in the bath.
She seemed pretty worked up, but it was easy to calm her down.
"Eek…?! W-what are you doing…?"
As we walked, I slipped my hand under her clothes and grabbed her firm butt.
"It seemed like you were getting loud in the street."
"Haa… ugh…! L-let go…! What if someone sees…?"
"This is a secluded place, so there shouldn't be many people."
"Ugh… I-I'll be quiet, so take your hand off…"
With her voice subdued, I let go.
But I gave her butt a light tap at the end.
"Huu… this is so humiliating…"
"Not bad, right?"
"There's no way I'd like it!"
Satiana looked away, embarrassed.
She didn't even realize we were heading to a secluded back alley.
'I wonder if I'll remember the place after so long.'
I was on friendly terms with the shop, but I'd never actually used it.
Everything sold inside was for women, and most of it was bold and erotic.
I'd never seen the shop owner's face.
I only knew from the seductive voice behind the veil that the owner was a woman.
A mysterious, seductive woman's shop in a back alley-I was curious what would happen to Satiana there.
A gloomy atmosphere filled the back alley.
It was hardly a suitable place to open a shop.
From the outside, it didn't even look like a store.
"This is it."
"Th-this is a shop humans use…?"
Satiana's reaction was perfectly normal.
But her reason was a bit different from most people's.
"If you shout like before after we go in, it'll look bad, so be careful."
"Tch… I'm the king of the Demon King's army. I'd never do something like that."
"You've never even been in a shop before, so just come in."
I opened the door and stepped inside.
As soon as the door swung open, a sweet scent tickled my nose.
"Welcome."
A familiar voice.
Slow and seductive.
Even though it had been a while, the shop owner hadn't changed.
"Long time no see."
"Oh… it's you? I haven't seen you in ages."
"I got summoned to the kingdom, so I couldn't help it."
"When I first heard you were a hero, I just laughed, but I didn't think it'd be true."
A veil completely covered her face.
Even through the hazy outline, I could tell the owner was still beautiful.
"I'm here today for something."
"Something? Ah… you're here to buy something for that lady over there?"
"You're sharp as ever. We're here to buy clothes. We'll take a few, so can you show us some? She's a naive girl who doesn't know the ways of the world, so pick out something suitable."
Satiana, who had been listening, couldn't hold back and spoke up.
She'd only been in the shop for a few minutes, but being called naive really got to her.
"Ugh…! Who are you calling a clueless girl…!"
"I didn't say it that harshly. And you're being a nuisance, so keep it down."
"Tch… you…"
The shop owner, watching us, burst out laughing.
"Hehe… she's a fun one. Makes me want to give some good recommendations. Especially since… this is your first time shopping here, right?"
"Well… there's nothing here I'd buy for myself."
"This time you're a customer, so let me introduce myself again. We've known each other for a long time, but you don't even know my name, right?"
The shop owner stood up from the counter.
Her body was completely hidden by a black robe, giving her a mysterious vibe. But even that couldn't hide her curves.
"I'm Kaela. I'm the owner here, and I sell goods that bring women pleasure. Since you're the buyer, Theus, I'll make some recommendations for you."
For a moment, I felt like our eyes met.
I had a hunch that she saw right through what I really wanted, even through the veil.
'This… might turn out to be more fun than I thought…?'
