The bustling mall was filled with various clothing stores. Chloe and Saber walked through the aisles, looking at different tops. Chloe grinned mischievously.
"Alright, Saber, I've got a brilliant idea. How about you stay in the changing room, and I'll fetch the clothes for you? You have to come out wearing whatever I pick. Deal?" she suggested.
Saber raised an eyebrow. "Do I have a choice?"
Chloe laughed. "Nope! It's going to be fun. Trust me."
Saber sighed. "Alright, let's get this over with."
Saber headed into the changing room, and Chloe started rummaging through the racks with a gleeful expression.
Holding up a bright pink shirt, Chloe exclaimed, "Oh, this is perfect! Saber, you're going to love this one."
"I highly doubt that," Saber said from inside the changing room.
Chloe giggled. "Come on, just try it on!"
Reluctantly, Saber put on the pink shirt and stepped out of the changing room, looking thoroughly unimpressed.
Chloe burst into laughter. "Oh my gosh, you look adorable! Pink is definitely your color."
"Can we please move on to something else?" Saber sighed.
"Not so fast! I've got more surprises for you. Stay put," Chloe said, dashing off and returning with a sequined jacket.
"Try this on next. It's got that 'disco hero' vibe," she said.
"This is getting ridiculous," Saber grumbled.
He changed into the sequined jacket and stepped out again, looking even more annoyed.
"Fabulous! You're ready to hit the dance floor and save the world," Chloe clapped.
"I feel like a walking disco ball," Saber muttered.
"Exactly! Now, let's see… Oh, how about these?" Chloe held up a pair of neon green pants.
"You're enjoying this way too much," Saber groaned.
"Of course I am! Now, get back in there and try these on," Chloe insisted.
Reluctantly, Saber changed into the neon green pants and stepped out, looking utterly defeated.
"You look like a superhero from the '80s. This is priceless," Chloe said, wiping away tears of laughter.
"Can we please be done with this?" Saber asked.
"Alright, alright. One last thing. I promise," Chloe said, handing Saber a pair of pink gloves.
"Seriously?" Saber asked, exasperated.
"Just humor me. It's the grand finale," Chloe said.
Saber put on the pink gloves and stepped out one last time.
"Perfect! You're the epitome of fashion-forward heroism," Chloe said, doubling over with laughter.
"Are we done now?" Saber sighed.
"Yes, we're done. But you have to admit, this was fun," Chloe said.
"If by fun you mean mildly humiliating, then sure," Saber retorted.
Chloe, still giggling, said, "That was hilarious! You were such a good sport, Saber."
Saber smirked. "Glad you enjoyed it. Now, it's your turn."
Chloe suddenly looked serious. "Wait, what? My turn?"
"Yep. Fair is fair. You stay in the changing room, and I'll pick out the clothes. Deal?" Saber said.
Chloe blushed. "Uh, okay. But go easy on me, alright?"
Saber grinned. "No promises." Chloe headed into the changing room, and Saber started browsing through the racks with a mischievous glint in his eye. Now then, how should I make her suffer? Maybe I could hand her some body-revealing clothes and that works? Only one way to find out.
Grabbing a dress, Saber thought, THANK YOU, this world's god! Happily crying. I would've already gone to jail for being labelled as a lolicon. Pulling the dress, he said, "Alright, this shall work." He walked towards her.
I don't know what he's searching, but he sure is taking his sweet time, Chloe thought. A hand with the dress pulled up the curtain. "Here," Saber said.
Chloe startled. "AAAAA!!!!"
Saber, scared, asked, "WHAT'S WRONG?"
Chloe, with tears in her eyes, replied, "YOU STARTLED ME!"
"HOW? YOU KNEW I WAS GOING TO COME; THIS DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE!" Saber exclaimed.
Chloe slammed Saber against the wall. "YOU'RE THE ONE WHO'S EXISTENCE DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE!" she shouted.
Saber, pissed, retorted, "HUHH??? WHAT DID I DO?"
"THAT'S WHY YOU'RE SINGLE!" Chloe shot back, as if an arrow pierced him and his mouth spilled blood.
Defeated, Saber muttered, "After this, I don't even wanna look at her."
"WHAT DID YOU SAY?" Chloe demanded.
"Oh! I-I was just saying that I-I can't wait to see you," Saber stammered, trying to cover up.
"Ew, just stop," Chloe said, her tone dripping with disdain.
I want to get out of here, Saber thought, feeling utterly defeated.
Meanwhile, the boss and an employee were observing from a distance. "What's going on here?" the boss asked.
"Nothing in particular," the employee replied.
"I'm getting complaints about noises here?" the boss inquired.
"Oh, that?" The employee moved aside. "Take a look yourself."
In the distance, Saber was shouting towards the changing room. "NO, YOU SHUT UP!"
The boss and employee peeked from the back. "How long has this been going on?" the boss asked.
"An hour or two," the employee answered.
"That's freshly-lovely birds for you," the boss commented.
Saber gritted his teeth as the curtains opened. Chloe emerged, shining in beauty, wearing elf archer clothes. "So? How do I look?" she asked, spinning around.
Saber put his hand on his mouth, turned back, and blood spilled from the gaps of his fingers.
"WHAT'S WRONG? HAVING A HEARTAL BREAKDOWN?" Chloe teased.
That's not even a word, you dumbass. But that's not what's wrong, Saber thought, struggling and shaking. HOW IS SHE NOT EMBARRASSED? AND WHY DOES SHE LOOK SO STUNNING? I gave the elf clothes because they looked so revealing and she would be embarrassed, but WHY IS SHE STILL SHINING?
"Come on, my answer is pending, mister. Oh! Wait, you're a minor, so everything goes half. How about miss?" Chloe continued.
"Just shut up," Saber said, still kneeling down. "And… you look lovely," he admitted, blushing and looking to the side.
Chloe blushed hard, turning as red as a tomato.
Saber took the dress and walked towards Chloe's changing room. An employee approached him with a devilish grin. "Sir, would you like to try some men's clothes? They are cheap and also have a discount."
Saber slowly took a few steps back and crashed into the undergarment stand. "I'm sorry, sir," the employee said, running away.
Is it just me, or did that lady seem to be on drugs? Saber thought. The dress had been switched with an outfit, and Saber didn't notice it at all. "What's going on with that lady anyway?" he muttered, putting his hand on the curtains.
"Took you long enough. Were you busy chatting with a non-existent girl?" Chloe teased.
"Just take it and shut up," Saber said, disgusted.
"Alright, alright now. It's not like I'm going to tell anybody, right?" Chloe replied, a pissed mark forming on Saber's forehead.
Chloe, in her undergarments, laughed. "HAHAHA…"
Her laughter stopped and changed to fear. "Um… Saber? Are you sure you chose the right clothes?" she asked.
"Hmm? Yeah, why?" Saber replied.
"Oh, nothing," Chloe said, thinking, Is he serious right now?
Flashback
Saber grinned. "No promises."
He's really going all out! Chloe thought. Fine! If he challenges me, then I won't lose either. She started wearing the lower part of the outfit. Pins hairclip. In this battle, she thought, opening her eye with fire.
Present
Saber stared at a light like a dead body. The curtains pulled back, and Saber's eyes widened. His face turned red with a silent scream. Chloe stood there in a bunny rabbit outfit, blushing too.
"Are we done now?" Chloe asked, blushing.
"Yes, we're done. But you have to admit, this was fun," Saber said.
"Now I know how you feel," Chloe replied.
"Glad to show you the light," Saber said.
"But still, you'll be the best lab rat for someone," Chloe teased.
"Just shut up," Saber retorted.
Saber saw an alarm notification on his screen.
NOTIFICATION
The dungeon raid is going to start in 1 hour so prepare yourself with the gears and reach the lobby in Adventure Guild
CRAP!" Saber exclaimed.
"What's wrong?" Chloe asked, concerned.
Saber, with teary eyes and shaking, looked at her. "The raid is going to start in an hour!"
"Don't sweat," Chloe said.
Saber smiled with starry eyes. "I'm going to get the beatings as well," Chloe added with a mischievous Shinchan-like smile and a thumbs up.
Saber's face fell into depression. "Just joking, RUN!" Chloe grabbed his hand, pulling him along.
Chloe ran as fast as possible holding Saber who's floating in the air and getting hit with every corner of the walls in every turn
