《Opening an orphanage in another world》Chapter 8: Shopping part 2
Advertisement
Now that we have arrive at the clothing shop listed down by the innkeeper wife, I can see that the children are excited to get themselves a new clothes, well Rean and Elise are excited but as usual they are worried about the money aspect of it (Not like I can't understand them, I just barge in into their life and give them a bunch of thing straight away that they otherwise couldn't afford, so of course it make them nervous just thinking about the cost), Kara in particular, eventhough shy shows a very happy face as compared to her tomboyish twin Mara. Well, this make me wanted to spent a fortune towards them but let not be greedy here, I mean the money that the goddess give can only last until who know... maybe for one week I guess? So I should save some for emergency, that being said, basic necessities for them aren't something that I will frugal about
"Welcome, so many children, are you going to buy them something?" [Clothing Aunty]
"Naturally! But may I ask for help, I'm not what you called a fashion expert and as such I had no idea what will look good on these children, so can you help me?" [Ash]
"Just leave it to us!" [Clothing Aunty]
As she said that, her son who is there beside him come and bring a selection of cloth for them, Kara and Farhah in particular start looking through the collection of cloth available. As for me? I just take a plain simple cloth and just put it into the counter, seeing this, Singa, Savel, Zerolith and Karon imitate me and just picked up the most simple looking cloth, for which I take back those cloth and ask them
"Aah! You guys should pick some nice cloth!" [Ash]
"""...""" [Singa, Savel, Zerolith, Karon]
"Those children only do that because they are imitating you! So buy yourself some nice cloth!" [Clothing Aunty]
"I see..." [Ash]
Well, if that's the case, I simply have to choose the best looking cloth here for me, and as I browse through the clothing option, Kara pick up a nice yellow colour dress as she swirl around seeing it at the mirror

(If only I can take a photo... Wait a minute, actually I can!) [Ash]
"Aunty, are this book and paper being used?" [Ash]
"Not really, why do you ask?" [Clothing Aunty]
"Can I buy it?" [Ash]
"Huh?" [Clothing Aunty]
"Well, let me just show you, Kara, can you please stand there and smile at me?" [Ash]
"Huh?" [Kara]
Shy as she might, she stand there and give me her brightest smile, and with a little bit of knowledge about light and camera, I use my light magic and engraved a picture into the blank sheet of paper and show it to Kara and the Aunty
"Aww... My little sister is so pretty!" [Ash]
I Compliment Kara as she does look cute, not in a wrong manner (if those pervert think so), just a genuine thought, but somehow they are stunt
"Light magic!" [Rean]
"Really, who are you brother Ash?" [Elise]
"Are you by any chance someone from the church?" [Clothing Aunty]
"Nope, I'm just a traveller with ten cute sweety pie" [Ash]
As I said that, the girls group (Elise, Kara, Mara, Farhah and Charlotte) come and take a closer look at the photo that I developed, Kara in particular seems excited
"Well, this is what I called as photo, basically it uses light magic to engraved the image Infront of us like a very very very talented artist drawing us a realistic looking picture so that when we grew older, we could see back in time by looking at this photo and relive those time. We will keep those pictures by putting them in a book called as Album" [Ash]
"I see..." [Clothing Aunty son]
"Aunty! Can I try different clothing! I wanted to take more of this photo!" [Kara]
"Me.. Me too!" [Elise]
"Same here, I wanted one as well!" [Mara]
"Brother Ash, Please take my photo next!" [Farhah]
"I'm next! I'm next" [Charlotte]
Huh... girl will be girl even in different world, well atleast they are acting like their age which is nice. Even the boy group seems excited about it

"Well, this book and paper aren't mine, so..." [Ash]
Well, I still haven't buy it, and as I said that, the five girl make a puppy eyes toward the clothing Aunty, begging them to sell those paper and book
"Hahaha... just take it, no way I can refuse those eyes, but do me a favour will you?" [Clothing Aunty]
"And that is?" [Ash]
"Can you leave a few of those children photo here? So that I could show it to other customers about how nice our clothes are" [Clothing Aunty]
"No problems!" [Ash]
Basically she want my sweetie to be a model, not that I mind
As I said that, Kara and Elise begin searching for a cloth that not only look good on them, but also for other, so much so that Elise and Kara begin scolding Me, Rean and Zerolith for picking up an "unfashionable" cloth, well, sorry about that! But I must said, the cloth that they pick up look quite good, so much so that I don't mind buying it
And with that, one by one, they stand Infront of me and smile, trying their new clothes, I even asked them to make a pose for the pictures, Rean making the peace sign while Elise making the heart sign (after I force her just to tease her a bit) shyly while Farhah who copied her do so with a bright smile, Singa trying to show how strong he is (and compete with Savel and Zerolith for the macho man pose). Charlotte just jump in the air, and Kara and Mara with dark and bright theme for clothing. As for Karon, he just copied me and stand straight, as I try to imitate the gentleman pose. Well, all of them look good, so good that the paper that I buy disappearing at quite a rate
(Crap! Am i the type of parents/brother that will spoiled their children! Well of course not... maybe) [Ash]
Well, with that, I paid for the clothes, I make quite a number of purchase for them but something amiss...
"Elise, why don't you and the other don't buy any undergarments?" [Ash]
"Because we don't need them" [Elise]
"I see..." [Ash]
.
.
.
"..." [Clothing Aunty]
.
.
.
"..." [Clothing Aunty son]
.
.
.
"..." [Elise]
.
.

"NO! We are definitely going to buy them! Aunty can you help with the girl side! Rean let us pick for the boys!" [Ash]
"Hahaha, and here I am worried whether you will notice about it or not" [Clothing Aunty]
"But!" [Elise]
"No but! We are going to buy it! And don't give me a reason about not wanting to spend your money on unnecessary thing! In fact you are a lady and it's a necessity, no it is a necessity for everyone!" [Ash]
"Hmmm..." [Elise]
She make a small shy cry, well let just said I am also in the wrong for shouting here... Can't blame them fully, which bring me to another question... no never mind
And with that, I paid for the second time and leave a few pictures of them inside the store, before
(A group photo will be nice!) [Ash]
As I think of that, I ask the clothing aunty help, we stand outside with the aunty holding the paper in horizontal plane, I even use ice mirror magic behind the clothing aunty to grasped a better image before using the photo magic and
"Such a nice photo! Mind if I have one with my son?" [Clothing Aunty]
"Sure, why not" [Ash]
And the aunty and her son bring out their best clothes and I take the picture of the two together and give it to them for free, in which they thank me non stop
Afterward, we buy a few more thing such as toothbrush, utensils, even some basic furniture and bed along the way. I just stored it in different compartment in my item box.
Then, it around one hour passed noon, we head back toward the inn, so that I can dropped the children there. when I enter inside...
"There you are!" [Princess Diana]
It looks like I make her wait
