As Yerin said last night, the whole family went out with Lia.
The destination was a shopping mall in the city that I visited last time with the children.
“Wow… Is the entire building some kind of market?”
Lia was amazed at the sheer size of the mall.
Even after entering the shopping mall, she kept turning her head to look around.
She was completely absorbed in the sight, and her feet staggered.
She was completely oblivious to herself because she was concentrating on seeing around, which attracted a lot of attention.
Even though she was wearing a large T-shirt and comfortable pants lent by Yerin, her unique atmosphere could not be hidden.
She naturally caught the attention of customers and employees in the shopping mall.
In addition, with Speranza next to me, the effect seemed to have doubled.
Perhaps it would have been more eye-catching if she wore a maid’s uniform.
We moved quickly before more people could gather around.
The first place we headed was a women’s clothing store.
Yerin asked, taking Lia’s hands.
“What style of clothes do you like?”
“I usually wear only maid clothes. I don’t know about other clothes.”
“Ah! Maid dress has its own charm, but you’re so pretty that it’s a waste if you don’t wear other dresses.”
“Um…”
“Don’t worry, Lia! I’ll dress you up properly today. You just have to trust me and follow me.”
Yerin led Lia, almost as if dragging her along while burning a sense of mission in her eyes.
Lia looked at me with a slightly troubled look as if asking for help.
“Don’t worry. Yerin will pick a perfect dress for you.”
I replied with a slightly bitter smile.
Lia’s eyes turned to tears as she was dragged helplessly by Yerin.
Shopping for Lia’s clothes, which began like that, became very busy.
Yerin quickly looked at the clothes displayed in the store, took them out, and handed them to Lia, pushing her into the dressing room.
A few moments later.
Lia, who changed into a new outfit, appeared from the dressing room.
As soon as we saw her, exclamations came from my and my mother’s mouth.
“Oh…!”
“Wow! It looks great on you.”
She was just wearing an ordinary T-shirt and pants, but it felt very fresh because we have been looking at her only in her maid clothes.
There was a sense of awkwardness and embarrassment in Lia’s slightly red face.
Still, there was a subtle smile around her mouth, as if she didn’t hate it completely.
Meanwhile, Yerin, who coordinated Lia, frowned slightly as if she did not like it.
“It’s not bad. It feels so normal. I don’t think it shows off Lia’s charm. Wait a minute…….”
Saying that she ran back and forth in the clothing store, brought new clothes, placed them in Lia’s hands, and pushed her into the dressing room once again.
After that, Yerin continued to bring various combinations of clothes to Lia.
Every time she brought new clothes, they looked great on Lia.
The staff at the clothing store, who was quietly watching the scene, couldn’t hold back her itchy hands and participated in the coordination in earnest.
Personally, I tend to think it’s a hassle to choose by trying different clothes, but it didn’t feel boring or cumbersome at all today, maybe because Lia’s looks matched every dress.
In some cases, it even made my heart flutter a little.
After carefully selecting clothes while looking around various stores, we carefully selected clothes that fit Lia and bought them.
Lia, who saw me buying the clothes said with a worried look.
“Sihyeon, I bought too many clothes. I’ll return the money to you when we get back to the farm later.”
“That’s okay.”
“But…”
“I’m giving it to you as a gift, so you don’t have to worry too much.”
I smiled as comfortably as I could at Lia, who was burdened.
Yerin clung to her and said,
“Don’t pay too much attention to what Sihyeon said, Lia. Shall we go to the next shopping?”
“What? I’ve already bought many clothes.”
“Oh! There’s still a lot left to buy.”
“… a lot left!?”
Yerin seems to have been under a lot of stress recently, so she went around the shopping mall like a rushing bull.
I felt exhausted just by following the two with the luggage.
Eventually, I accepted my defeat and decided to take a break with the children.
Then Yerin said…
“Really? Good, the next place is an embarrassing place to go with a man. Take a break. I’ll call you when we’re done.”
Yerin quickly went somewhere with my mother and Lia.
After they disappeared, I went to the rest area on one side of the shopping mall and sat down.
Like great men said, it’s not easy to follow a woman on her shopping.
Proving those words, there were a lot of men who seemed to be in a similar position as I was and were taking a break in the rest area.
PULL! PULL!
Suddenly, I felt someone pulling my shirt from the side.
When I turned my head and looked down, Speranza was looking at me with hesitation.
“Speranza, what happened?”
“Uh-huh…”
Speranza did not answer my question directly, but I could quickly notice what was on the cute fox girl’s mind.
