"Little Twilight, do you think this dress suits me?"
"Mhm, March looks good…"
"But although I like this style, doesn't the color clash a bit with my hair? What do you think of this one?"
"Mhm, March is pretty…"
In the gorgeous clothing store, March 7th was holding a pile of small dresses, comparing them in front of the mirror with Twilight, her eyes filled with unconcealed fondness and indecision: "They all look so good, which one should I choose?"
"Buy them all."
Twilight silently offered the perfect solution, but March 7th just sighed after hearing it: "These dresses are too expensive, my allowance is only enough to buy one at most… Otherwise, I'll have to ask Himeko for an advance on my allowance again when we go out to play later."
The Astral Express didn't have salaries. Especially for a junior like March 7th, she could only receive a fixed amount of pocket money from Himeko, the navigator. If she wanted to buy something expensive, she had to call Himeko over like calling a parent—calling Welt was useless because Welt was also reckless with money and now ended up receiving only pocket money like March 7th.
To be fair, March 7th's allowance was definitely enough to make most people in the galaxy envious—but this was Penacony, where even breathing cost money! Even if she took out all her saved little treasures, it would only be enough to buy one or two pieces of clothing.
How could March 7th not want to wave her hand and buy all the dresses she liked, just like in those popular short dramas across the galaxy? Her strength just didn't allow it…
"Hmph… If March wants them, just take them." Twilight proudly put her hands on her hips, then flashed the glittering gold card from her pocket with a swish. "All expenses, I'll cover them."
Technically, Aventurine will cover them—but such minor details were unimportant. Just consider it his life-saving money.
However, March 7th's reaction wasn't quite what Twilight imagined—instantly becoming a fangirl. She just widened her eyes in horror, then lightning-fast pounced towards Twilight, slammed her hand down, and nervously looked around.
After confirming that no one had noticed, March 7th finally breathed a sigh of relief and stared at Twilight apprehensively: "Little Twilight, we can't do anything illegal! Did you, did you rob someone?"
Twilight felt that March 7th was purely judging a gentleman by her own petty standards. Was she that kind of person? As someone who wouldn't get up early without energy, mere credits weren't worth her making a special move!
"Someone gave it to me voluntarily…"
"Little Twilight." March 7th put her arms around Twilight's shoulders and stared at her seriously. "Beating someone until they can't stand up and then making them hand over their bank card doesn't count as voluntary, okay?"
"Really not." Twilight shook her head, silently pointing at Dan Heng, who was standing outside the store looking listless and contemplating life. "Dan Heng can testify, someone gave them to us…"
"There's actually such a helpful rich person?! Is it some galactic influencer filming a video…" Seeing that Twilight could even get Dan Heng to vouch for her, March 7th's doubts finally dissipated, and she began to feel sad about why she never encountered such good things.
But March 7th's mood always changed quickly. Soon, she was full of energy again and started a shopping spree in the store—Little Twilight had money, didn't that mean she had money? What was there to be afraid of!
Looking at the overjoyed March 7th, Twilight couldn't help but smile.
March 7th, oh March 7th. Although everyone on the Express crew now had favorability towards her far exceeding level ten, among them, the person closest to her daily was undoubtedly March 7th. This goofball never hid her emotions; her happiness and joy were always very obvious. She was an extremely emotionally sensitive child.
She always acted very positive, but that didn't mean she didn't have negative emotions. It was just that March 7th could always quickly adjust her mentality after encountering sad things and cheer herself up again. And so far, she had never encountered anything truly devastating or hard to let go of.
Sigh, the lively, cheerful, and emotionally sensitive March 7th, how many gold coins will she bring me in the end?
The last person with a somewhat similar personality was Power, but Shoko didn't get much chance to work on her when farming energy in the end. What a pity…
As for Dan Heng?
Dan Heng was already exploding gold coins, although the reason was a bit subtle…
…
Dan Heng deeply regretted it now.
If he had known earlier how terrifying Twilight and March 7th were when shopping, he would absolutely not have chosen to hang out with them. Wouldn't it be better to wander around alone like Himeko, Uncle Yang, and Caelus?
He was originally a little worried that Twilight constantly spacing out might indicate something was wrong, so he specifically followed along. But currently, she and March 7th seemed to be in their element in this shopping paradise, showing no signs of discomfort. Instead, it was he who was extremely uncomfortable now.
What was the point of repeatedly trying on clothes? Wasn't it enough as long as they fit? If they weren't planning to buy perfumes and lipsticks from the start, why did they linger there纠结 for so long? All the clothing stores on the entire street looked the same, why could they still tirelessly walk through them one by one?
Dan Heng really didn't understand. Could the subtle differences in chromosomes really cause such huge changes in how humans perceive the world…
And although Twilight wasn't as enthusiastic as March 7th, she didn't show any signs of boredom either.
Dan Heng couldn't feel the joy of shopping; he only felt pain, especially when he was the only one standing alone in front of a women's clothing store. He felt as if every passerby was looking at him strangely.
If he had known this would happen, he would have dragged Caelus over no matter what. That way, the two of them could at least do their comedy routine and it wouldn't be so awkward…
Dan Heng stood outside the store like a stone sculpture, his expression calm and serious. However, the continuous stream of energy Twilight received, although only one or two points each time, was enough to show that his inner heart was not calm.
But the small energy explosions from Dan Heng were at most an appetizer. After all, Twilight's current target wasn't him, but Caelus, who had run off to play happily in the Golden Hour.
Hehehe, looks like you're having fun? First meeting the riddler old blonde, then meeting a new cute younger sister, and even playing the hero saving the beauty and going on a date together?
Twilight scrolled through the reactions on the player forum, clicking her tongue in dissatisfaction.
She actually wanted to pretend to be weak at the beginning, giving Caelus a chance to save the beauty, but unfortunately, she couldn't control her hands in the end, and her persona unexpectedly changed from a delicate and lovely Lin Daiyu to a Rubeus Hagrid who could uproot a Doom Beast…
Now Firefly was actually playing this trick too, clearly being an Iron Cavalry of Glamoth, yet pretending to be a harmless little white flower… But her acting was too poor. As a veteran actress, Twilight's professional ethics prevented her from awarding the Oscar to Firefly.
Twilight had no objections to Firefly, and wasn't worried at all that she would pose a threat to her, whether on the battlefield or in love—after all, she appeared too late and couldn't shake her position as the female lead in the slightest!
But since she wants to act, let me play along too~
After all, the reason I followed March 7th shopping instead of joining Caelus in the plot, wasn't it precisely for this?
