As I dashed through the night, I suddenly came to a realization. The two girls needed some new clothes. Right now, they are wearing their usual 'dancer' clothes while wearing a thin jacket on top of it.
I stopped in mid-air and landed on a rooftop as I spoke.
"Erm, let's make a quick stop by a clothing store."
Since I was moving pretty fast, I decided to slow down in case they became nauseous. Moving roof by roof, I wondered why the vents in the building were so wide.
With my body that could be considered well-trained but not large, I could still fit inside perfectly fine. It was a wonder how they couldn't hear me crawling through the vents like that.
Must be plot armor.
When we arrived back in town, I changed my jacket around and took off my mask after putting down the two sisters.
Letting them catch their breath, the three of us went inside the mall and went into the nearest clothing store.
Inside the store, I stood by the entrance.
"Pick something you like, no need to hold back."
"Are you sure?"
Sylvia asked me if I were sure, I nodded, while Olivia looked somewhat hesitant.
Well, I can't blame her, some guy who comes outta nowhere and saves her, then brings her to a clothing store telling her to pick whatever she wants.
If it were me, I couldn't help but to think they had an ulterior motive. Though if that's what she thinks, she's kinda right.
I mean, I did save her because I knew it was going to happen, I'm not a superhero who would save everyone I see out of kindness. That's for the protagonist.
Anyway, I sat down near the dressing room and read a magazine, while the two sisters went through some clothes.
After picking out some outfits, they each headed inside the dressing room next to each other and tried out the clothing.
Slish.
As I flipped to the next page of the magazine, I hear the curtains opening up from both their rooms at the same time.
Looking up, I stared at the two in different outfits.
On the right, Sylvia wore a black skirt that exposed her mouthwatering thighs, while wearing boots that were a few inches higher than her ankles. For a top, I have no idea what women's clothing is called so I'll just describe them to the best that I could.
It's a cream-colored top that looks similar to a tank top, she also wore golden bangles on both her arms. Wearing such clothing there was hardly a thing that was covered.
As for Olivia, she wore a short dress with flowers and frills. Her shoes were simple and only had a flower at the very front of both feet. Even though her clothing is simple, her curves couldn't be hidden. It was truly a sight to behold.
"What do you think?"
I glanced at Sylvia and nodded my head.
"You both look great."
Hearing my answer, they both went back in and changed into another outfit. This time, they wore matching clothing, with a slight variation in color.
Olivia wore a black skirt, with a white long-sleeve top with black buttons that could hardly contain her chest. As for Sylvia, she wore the same black skirt as Olivia, but her top is light pink with golden buttons.
Coming out with black boots on their feet, I nodded my head and thought that this look suited them more. Of course, they both would look good even if they wore dirty rags.
They then went back to the changing rooms. Beside me, I could hear people whispering. Things like "He brought two women with him" from the women while a man said, "He's living a man's dream!"
Of course, the guy who said that had his ear pinched by his girlfriend after he said that. I ignored what they were saying while looking at every outfit the two sisters tried out.
I'm going to skip the rest since I doubt anyone actually cares about their clothing. After trying out all the outfits, I stood up and put the magazine away.
"Please pack all of them."
I told the employee. She bowed as another employee went into the dressing room beside that and took out all the outfits to pack into bags.
"You're going to buy all of them?"
"Yea, both of you like them right?"
I glanced at the two sisters seriously. The two of them looked at me in the eyes and nodded.
"Then? I see no problem. Right, have you eaten yet?"
"No we haven't, we were kidnapped at noon, and were only let out at the time you saved us."
"Then, let's get you something to eat after this."
Following the employees, I paid for all the clothes. It didn't cost as much as I thought it would. Holding a few bags in both my hands, the three of us headed towards the food court.
Of course, the sisters had changed into one of the outfits I just bought before heading out of the store.
************
Sitting inside a restaurant, I ordered a cup of coffee for myself, while the sisters had chosen a dish.
"It's a bit late, but I will introduce myself now. I'm Hatsume Haruhiro, a first-year at the Amaterasu magical academy."
The two sisters glanced at each other. Sylvia spoke for both of them.
"Thank you for saving us, I'm Sylvia Von Beaumont, this is my sister Olivia Von Beaumont. We are currently traveling far from our home."
"I see, I won't ask you for the reason you got kidnapped or why you are traveling from home. But, what do you plan on doing now?"
I paused and waited for the sisters to whisper amongst themselves. Olivia looked at me and spoke.
"Since you attend the famous Amaterasu academy, is it too late for us to enroll? The term should've just begun I believe."
"That's right, today is actually the first day of classes. If you want to enroll I'm afraid that it's too late."
"I see."
"I didn't finish, it may be too late to enroll through the normal means, but I can help you two enroll in another way."
"Really?!"
Sylvia grabbed my hand and asked.
Looking at my hand being grabbed, I coughed as she released my hand with a slightly embarrassed expression.
"That's right, I can help you enroll. But why is it just two of you traveling alone? Did you not have a guardian with you? If I remember correctly, the Von Beaumont family is a family of Dukes in the kingdom of Arcania right?"
The Kingdom of Arcania, a large kingdom in the far north of the world. They are extremely advanced in magic as well as alchemy.
The kingdom is considered one of the largest and richest countries in the entire world. One of the top magical academies is also placed in the said kingdom.
The kingdom still uses the noble system with Dukes being only below the royal family. Under them are Marquesses, Earls, Viscounts, Barons, and Baronets, each holding a certain amount of power in the kingdom.
In the game, there were only two Duke families in the entire kingdom, while the rest were mainly Viscounts or Earls. Even the number of Marquesses numbered to ten at most.
Now let's talk about the royal family. The current king, being the thirty-fifth king, also holds the title of the strongest.
Out of every king so far in said kingdom, the current king is said to surpass even the founding king of the country. Of course, that's in terms of both magic and alchemy.
Beside him, is Duke Von Beaumont who is said to hold equal power to the current king. Apparently, the two of them were childhood friends who grew up together just like the two sisters Olivia and Sylvia.
From what I can remember, the family has fallen and is no longer considered nobles. The reason? I don't remember much.
I do recall something about them being schemed against and besieged by the lower-ranked nobles who had sold their souls and allied with the demons.
Though, I don't know if that's actually true.
In the game, humans and demons wouldn't start a fight unless the other side intruded on their territory. It has been that way for thousands of years. Even the Demon King himself abided by that rule.
Now I won't spoil too much about the story and let you all find out more about it later. Let's go back to the two sisters since they are obviously more important than some shitty Demon King.
"That's correct. Since you know that, you must know that we are a fallen noble family. Our father and mother have been captured, while the other members of our family have all been killed."
"That's enough, you don't need to go further. I did say that I won't pry into your matters. I think it's better for you to solve your own problems once you have enough strength to do so."
"Of course, if you want my help, I can help you as well."
"Anyway, since you have no place to go, do you want to live at my house? We still have plenty of rooms, it's up to you. I can also help you guys find a hotel."
The two sisters whispered amongst themselves again.
"Then, sorry to trouble you."
"Since that's settled, let's eat then head home. Don't worry, I won't go at full speed like before."
I laughed as I finished my sentence, then sipped on my cup of coffee.
