Episode 19: I was stalked by a female hero

The next day, I and Aleria were visiting an equipment store in the capital's commercial district.

Clothing is also important equipment for adventurers.

For adventurers who travel long periods of time, clothes that are lightweight and easy to move in, but have some defensive power, are preferable.

I've worn the same clothes since I reincarnated, and I'm reaching my limit.

You need at least two sets of clothing, as you'll have to spend your time naked if you don't have other clothes when you wash.

It's not just me, Aleria also.

She ran away with just the clothes she had on, so she has no substitutes.

"Arelia, isn't this good?"

"I'm embarrassing …!"

"Is that so? It's pink so I thought it would look good though."

A feminine robe with a pink body design.

Aleria wearing this would be insanely cute.

"Yuki's sense of choosing clothes is weird…"

It's not that bad right …

Well, I don't want to be asked for fashion sense since I have no female experience, but are popular men good from the beginning?

"Let's decide on Yuki's clothes first! That golden robe is perfect for you!"

Yeah … that's not my thing …

Gold is bad taste, and it looks like some kind of overbearing hero, it's not cool.

"I fully understand Aleria's lack of fashion sense. Please let me decide on my own."

"Well, then I'll decide mine too!"

From this mysterious sense of rivalry, we both decided to choose separately.

A black robe caught my eye.

It's not too plain, not too flashy, and has just the right balance, besides, a black swordfighter sounds kinda cool.

Alright, It's decided!

Immediately after deciding which robe I would buy, Aleria's decided as well.

"I want this. The white base matches the red accents really well!"

"Oh, it's pretty good. It gives off a dignified feeling."

"Yuki's black robe is also cool! Not many people look good in black, but it's perfect for Yuki!"

I'm a little worried if it really suits me when coming from Aleria, but it's a choice from my own tastes, nothing else I can do about it.

"Okay, we'll take these"

I'm glad I was able to make a satisfying purchase.

Compared to Japanese apparel stores, there are a few differences, but surprisingly the equipment stores in the royal capital have sophisticated designs.

An ordinary adventurer would want to keep the number of clothes down because it would be more luggage, but I can use the infinite storage of the cheat called item box.

I will continue to buy anything I like.

After leaving the store, the plan is to have a meal with Aleria then hang out.

But——

"Oh, Matsusaki Yuki! What a coincidence to find you in a place like this! It feels like fate!"

For some reason, there was a female hero here.

Only the braves have such a pure white cane. There is no doubt she's a hero.

She wears a robe that strangely emphasizes the lines of her body. It doesn't seem practical.

Anyway, probably because my real age is rather high, my ability to detect lies has been trained accordingly.

From her tone, the movement of her face, and the tone of voice, it was clear that this hero was lying.

"I don't know your name."

"Oh, excuse me. I'm Siri Gartier. That's right, I'm the hero of recovery."

"Well, that's right, what a weird coincidence. Then tell Fabrics to get rid of my bad publicity as soon as possible. Bye"

With that said, I turn to leave with Aleria.

"Wait. I fell in love with you at first sight."

"… Hah?"

My head was full of question marks.

In the first place, I don't get what she means by first sight. If that's so, this girl was silently watching the person she fell in love with at first sight being kicked out, and even joined the perpetrators.

If she fell in love later, she wouldn't call it love at first sight.

I have a lot to say, but it's a waste of time, let's start with the conclusion.

"No matter what you think of me, I can't respond to your feelings."

"… Hey. I courageously gave you my confession and you just ignored it?"

"What's this all of a sudden?"

"You're too cheeky. To refuse the confession of this number one beauty in the world and number two of the hero party!"

What are you talking about?

Are you crazy?

"… I don't know what you mean. If you're the number one beauty in the world and the brave party's number 2, then why do you like me? At least I haven't seen it."

"… Well … that's !?"

"In other words, you just want power. I can't believe you're just as dumb as the other one."

"What!?, I'm … dumb!?"

Siri's face turned bright red as she stared at me.

Unfazed, I keep saying.

"I'm just wasting my time talking to you, but … can you go back now? It's no coincidence you came here anyway."
