"Don't you like fashionable swimsuits?
"Guru, you don't need my swimsuit!
"Don't say that. It's going to be a trip to the ocean, so let's just get ready for once...... huh?
In the back of the store, I was catching Iola up with my swimsuit in front of the fitting room. I was having difficulty convincing you, but checkmate. I can't run anymore.
"Why are you trying to make me wear bikini pants like that ergonote brother? Ooh!?
Iola blushes her cheeks and shakes her ears and head in tears.
"This is the standard equipment for the Sage Hall.... I wear them too, Zo?
At the fingertips of both hands, pinch and spread the recommended bikini to show. Put your little finger up, too.
"Yes, okay!?
- Ha, ha. Funny how you tease me.
Of course this is a delightful "sage joke". I jokingly recommended the swimsuit, but it's cute and sticky when you react like this... I want to.
The clerk's sister is laughing bitterly, but well, it would be a common "boyfriend" shopping landscape.
We were now coming to a large clothing store called Mind Is Jin (Nishiki), one step down the back street from Metanostadt's main street.
The streets are lined with famous shops where young people from Wangdu come to buy clothes.
It feels like I said "back alley" with a narrow road width, but the streets are full of people and the shops are thriving. In stores where various kinds of clothes hang from a narrow location, many customers are looking for clothes besides us.
Bespoke clothing is fundamental if you are aristocratic or rich, but "prudent living" is a creed, even though you are a wise man, so this kind of store is adequate.
After a short lunch break, we split into the right teams and each decided to buy whatever clothes we wanted. The money was managed by their respective representatives and temporarily dissolved until the evening.
The first team is a boys' team: Riola and Manuferno, a "girls' team" with Plum and Hemperoza added there, and the other, Iola for me and Lentomia.
I really wanted to mingle with the girls team and pick out a swimsuit with Ufu, but Riola and Manu surprised me for being serious.
By the way, Fairy Metius and Princess Flat Slime are "girls," but they can't leave, they're with us.
Speaking of men's teams, Ergonote acted differently along the way.
"I'm going to the stable for a second!
Because I left it to say so.
The White King (Whiteia), the beloved horse of the brave (Ergonote) who has fertilized twelve female horses, is in forced labor to fill the hole in the damage (...) to the stable.
I went to get that back, but if you do what I gave you, it should work.
The operation is that "even apologize in good faith to the master of the stable, and when you are about to forgive me, show me the 'Sage's spreadsheet' to convince me"......
As a matter of course, the scroll I gave you, The Sage's Spreadsheet, says what happens if a famous horse's blood is born that is as rare (and rare) as Metanostadt's, the Beloved Horse/White King of the Brave Ergonote.
Operating income and expenditure have been converted into a black deficit in just one year, a calculation that can fill losses during pregnancy. The results of the simulation are then described that as the children and horses grow, their incomes also draw a steep upward curve. That would be a persuasive material, though a reflection from the managerial aspects produced jointly by me and Metius.
- Do it right, Ergonote.
By the way, Lu and Spiano both decided to act differently. I dropped him off clutching hands and getting lost in the crowd mess, but I guess just the two of us would buy clothes and swimsuits that we liked.
Either way, both Ergonote and Lu are going to rendezvous in the evening and have dinner in the city.
Speaking of which, Faria is also in the midst of an exhilarating search for a new "summer armor" in this neighborhood's weapons store.
They don't have swimsuits in their eyes from the start, they just want to buy "summer armor".

"Oh, I'm not going into the sea or anything."
"Well don't say that, Iola. Bikinis are a joke, but everyone else is buying swimsuits by now. Even Riola would have a hard time washing dirty clothes with sea water and sand, wouldn't she? So in the ocean, we need swimsuits that are fine even if they're wet. Do you understand?
I fold myself up to Iola laughing vaguely. Apparently he didn't have much experience swimming in the ocean.
"Ugh... Well, so is that."
But it seems that Riola's words moved Iola's mind.
"Iola! The sea is good, Death! The ocean feels great on a hot day Death, and I care like I've become a jellyfish when I'm rocked between the waves Dace!
"If the slime was floating in the ocean, it would be jellyfish."
'... Mm! Now you're saying, Death, Iola!
Princess Rana on the surface of Iola's shirt looks up to Iola delightfully.
The princess of the plane, who is sparkling her eyes, is cleverly exchanging words with the human boy (Iola), using the fluid that makes up herself, floating "pictures" and "strings".
While I'm having a conversation with Princess Slime, I feel like both me and Iola are talking to real girls.
Commonly referred to as a human species information exchange (humanoid terminal).
"Isn't it like Iola-kun and Princess Rana, Sage Grekas and me?
Metius, the fairy sitting on my shoulder, shrugged a little happy. As the same princess (...), she seems very concerned.
"Ha, not between guys, but like 'buddy'?
"Oh, how lovely Buddy sounds!
I exchange my eyes with Metius, and I turn to Iola and Princess Rana.
It's unusual for Iola, who is always all about Riola, to talk fun about other girls - slime though - like this.
In the desert country the other day, he seemed only to have gotten close to the local wizard Milica, but he didn't seem to have been there for the next battle, and he thinks he did something pathetic.
For Iola, if you stay in the hall, you'll find "sister" Pram and Hemperoza, as well as "sweet sister" Manuferno and Faria.
Despite being in a position of envy in a way, it is no wonder that adolescent boys never turn their emotions to them like anyone else has.
I know you only love and think so much about your sister, Riola.
Shit! And the curtain in the fitting room opened.
"- Greg, I'm going to make this bathing suit!
It was a half elf in a cute looking swimsuit that gave each person a peek in the face from inside the box they put in.
"Ooh... Ooh!? Isn't that nice?
"Well! It's lovely!
Me and Metius accidentally nailed our gaze.
"Mr. Lentomia's swimsuit, that's the type...!
"Uhn!? Cuteness across genders Death!?... my clan can't even get in losing Death...!
Iola and her chest Princess Rana also looked impressed, wow!? with the look on his face. Princess Rana seems to have a personality that burns her antagonism to the presence that she's basically beautiful or cute.
"Hehe, you're not ashamed of this."
Lentomia lets you go around in a small fitting room with a soldering grin.
He wears a bright white spat type swimsuit with the same shade of white guard that hides only the chest area, the so-called holter type swimsuit.
I see a navel in the middle of a thin waist, but the girl...... and I'm not at all uncomfortable with the creation of a face that, if I were told, would convince me.
Beautiful clavicle that can be described as artistic on smooth stretched hands and feet, and a line and egg-shaped face to the neck muscles that ascend to the shaky. Salaries and loose hair with chin lines...
"No, don't stare at me so much, Greg... I'm glad to hear it"
Lentomia hides behind the curtains in the fitting room.
"Ah!? Look, I haven't seen it, yeah, isn't it good?
At the same time, we will have finished choosing both summer and swimsuits for everyone. Before I chose the bathing suit, I also chose a proper summer shirt or shortbread and put it in the basket.
And then there's the mechanism of paying the shopkeeper.
- Oh, boy, now you've done your errands in the king's capital, huh?
Finally my shoulder load came down, and then I finally thought about crushing my time to dinner by dipping into the library... what a time.
"Lord Grey! Oh, my God!
"Sage ss! Master Ergonote!
Lulu, the swordsman with cat ears, and Spiano, the dog ear, suddenly stopped at the table of the store - the two of us walked straight through the entrance to the store where we were located and rushed to the front of the fitting room at the far back.
"Duh, what's going on? We're both in such a hurry..."
Even though I was generally taught that Lentomia and Iola were going, I was just impressed by the sharpness of their noses (...) and their skulls (...), which didn't even have magic thread (Magiwire), as they rushed this far without straying, but what the hell was that?
"E, Lord Ergonote...! They're surrounded by men in front of the stable!
"What?
