Chapter 330
Maple quickly moved towards the back of the store, and Sally followed after her .
“Are you going to buy anything?”
“Hmm . Maybe . ”
“You know, you were sticking out a lot earlier . ”
“Uhhh . It was like that before too . It’s kind of strange . ”
Maple’s human and non-human forms were famous . If she wore unique armor, she would attract a lot of attention . Of course, Sally was no different .
“Well, it will be hard to enjoy sightseeing if we attract so much attention . So let’s change our clothes and appearance!”
“But wouldn’t it be better to just use clothes we bought before? See!”
Maple changed her equipment in a flash . She was now wearing a white one piece and her hair was long .
“Don’t you have one, Sally?”
“Uh, well…I do . But that’s a bit…”
Sally said that it was too cute and didn’t suit her . Maple quickly objected to this .
“Fine, but at least let me change the hair! Surely you can allow me to do that?”
“Hmm . I will allow it . ”
“Hehe . Thanks . ”
After receiving Maple’s permission, Sally also changed her clothes . While it was still mostly blue, there were now frills and a skirt that she normally wouldn’t wear . She refused to put on the twin tail hairstyle they had bought together before . Instead, she changed her usual ponytail to a plain style where it all hung down .
“Hmm…it’s not very surprising . ”
Maple muttered as she held her chin . Sally wondered what to do for a second and then suddenly exclaimed as if she had a brilliant idea .
“You know, I just wanted to match yours!”
Maple looked down and saw that her own hair was also hanging straight down . And she smiled .
“Ehehehe . It’s fine then . ”
“Okay! Now, let’s look around . That was our reason for coming here, after all . ”
“That’s right! Is there anything that you want, Sally?”
They looked at the furniture that was being sold and thought about their rooms in the guild . They could have Izu make them, but it was also nice to buy things from places like this .
“Hmm . I’m mostly just in the shared space while in the guild home . ”
“I put furniture in my room! But I can’t see any of it when I’m out in the field…”
“Really? Can I go see it next time?”
“Of course! But I don’t know if it will help you . Ah, this might suit you?”
Maple tried suggesting some cool-looking furniture to Sally . After learning more about them, Sally decided that she liked them and ended up buying everything that Maple pointed out .
“Ohh! You bought everything!”
“I made a lot of money while leveling up . So I have a lot more to spend compared to before . ”
“How nice . I never have any money . ”
“That’s because you’re always buying stuff . ”
“I’ll have to gather more…”
“I’ll help you when you do . ”
“Thanks! Hmm . I’ll mark down everything that I want to buy for later . ”
After they had seen everything in the store, they left and continued their stroll around the town . As they had been hoping, once they changed their clothes and hair, no one was able to recognize them at a glance . Realizing that no one was staring at them, the two looked at each other and laughed before entering another store . This was the place the two had eaten cake in when they first started the game .
And so they bought cake just like that time and talked .
“Is this your first time returning here, Maple?”
“Yes . There was too much to do on the new layer . ”
“Well, it’s already hard to keep up with every new thing that’s implemented . ”
“Yes, yes . Though, I can finally relax now . ”
“That’s true . So, do you have a favorite layer, Maple?”
“That’s hard…I like all of them!”
“I knew you’d say that . ”
Maple smiled innocently . It really did look like she was enjoying it from the bottom of her heart . Not just look, it must be true .
“Sally?”
“Hmm . Well, I don’t mind any layer as long as we’re together . ”
“Ehehe . Really?”
“Of course . That’s why I invited you to this game . ”
“Well, I’m glad that I can do my part in battles . Things didn’t go so well in the other games you got me to play . ”
“Yeah . It’s almost like things are going too well this time . ”
“Ahaha . I guess so . ”
Sally was much more used to gaming . And so it was very rare for her not to have to stoop to Maple’s level . They were both equally strong and on equal footing .
As they continued to eat their cake and talk casually, Sally suddenly paused and then opened her mouth as if to broach an important subject .
“Uh, maybe another…”
“?”
As Maple waited for her to continue, Sally chuckled and then seemed to change her mind as she looked at the menu .
“Um . Do you want another cake? Check the menu . ”
“Uh, yes! Of course! What about you?”
“Definitely . Oh, but we have to be careful . Last time you ate too much and went bankrupt . Our sightseeing has only started, after all . ”
“That’s right . I better be careful!”
And like that, amidst this quiet atmosphere, their forks reached towards their cakes .
