Chapter 66 66 – Shopping For Clothes
The Slayer apparently took a liking to the dish here, even though he couldn't handle a spicy thing.
Ibaraki had also gotten used to life here. Heck, she and Amber managed to gain some fans in the restaurant, mostly some teenagers from New York.
The business was booming thanks to that, but the girls kept their distance and clearly said to them that they had someone in their hearts. Also, Amber being the way she was, declared that Kai was the one who filled her heart.
Ibaraki was a bit shy to admit it, but when asked by someone who confessed to her, she smiled and sent a subtle glance at Kai.
As a result, he became hated by his new customers in his own restaurant. However, they kept coming back after falling in love with the dishes, similar to Griffin.
Today, the restaurant was closed as Kai promised Ibaraki to get some clothes for her. Marcus also went fishing with John and Billy, something they did every end of the month.
As for Amber, the Phoenix girl chose to stay behind to learn how to cock. That was surprising, but Kai had no worry about her burning the place down. She was a Phoenix, after all.
"M-Master, I am ready."
Kai turned to the left and found Ibaraki standing there in her loose black kimono that exposed her cleavage. The skirt was short, and he could see the bodysuit she wore underneath. Her horns were hidden, and her cheek had a tint of red as she looked at him.
He could understand why many youngsters around the area fell in love with her. She was just that beautiful.
The choice of clothes she wore was also always a bit exposed. Even if she always wore a bodysuit underneath those clothes, it still made men ogling at her. The choice of her clothing was the sexy qipao or this loose kimono.
That was why they were shopping today, to find everyday clothes for her.
"Then, let's go." Kai offered his hand to her, which she took shyly. They began to walk to the main street, exiting Chinatown.
It was a peaceful day for Kai, with no Supernatural thing happening besides the fact that Ibaraki was a part of the Supernatural race. The Oni girl also smiled happily while they walked side by side.
"Master… Doesn't this look like we are going on a date?" She asked while looking at him from the side.
Kai was caught off guard by the word date and turned to her swiftly. "A date, huh?" He muttered.
Going around just the two of them, shopping for her clothes. Then he also planned to have a meal outside with her for today. If he thought about it carefully, then calling it a date wasn't wrong.
'That's why Amber didn't tag along. I thought it was unusual, but she noticed it, huh?'
Maybe the Phoenix girl wanted to give Ibaraki a chance to get together with him, to forge their bond. They hadn't done anything like that before.
And from his experience, he would be able to get stronger and get the perfect control of his power once his bond with his contracted Mythical creature got stronger.
'Even though she didn't need to do that.'
"Well, maybe you can call this a date." He replied to Ibaraki as he smiled warmly. "Let's enjoy this, shall we?"
"Un." Ibaraki nodded with the most beautiful smile she had ever shown.
Many people stopped for a second to look at Ibaraki. They immediately looked away when Kai glared at them or their girlfriend was pinching their cheek. It was a bit funny that he let out a chuckle.
Unfortunately for them, they didn't allow polygamy in some countries in the modern world, more specifically in the US. So even if they wanted to have two wives or girlfriends, they wouldn't be able to. No, their partner wouldn't allow them.
Unless they were ready for the consequences, they shouldn't even try to look at other women with a lusting or interested gaze.
After walking for a while and talking to each other about random things, they arrived at their destination.
"Here we are."
Kai looked up at the store's sign and smiled wryly. He wouldn't even have dreamed of coming here before he got involved with Supernatural World. The reason was the clothes sold in this place were too expensive.
However, it was worth it. He had a lot of spare money sitting in his bank account too. Spending a lot of money once to make Ibaraki a present wouldn't be a waste at all.
"Luis Vitan?" Ibaraki asked, tilting her head slightly as she gazed at the luxurious entrance. "Is this where people get clothes in this country? It's like… strange. I thought we were going to a market."
He couldn't help but chuckle. Come to think of it, Ibaraki had always stayed in Oeyama Mountain for the last millennium with Shuten Douji. So her thinking was a little bit outdated.
"This is a store for high-end clothes, something fitting you. Let's enter and find some suitable clothes."
"A-Alright."
They entered the store together and were greeted by a row of clothes, shoes, and many different items. The way those items were arranged made them easy to browse through, with the most expensive ones being put on some display to make them stand out.
"Woah." Ibaraki let out an amazed voice as her golden eyes gleamed. "This… this is really a clothing store."
"I told you it is." He chuckled in a low voice as he enjoyed her reaction. It was fresh and amusing.
She noticed her reaction was over the top. Her body jolted slightly as she lowered her head. "I-I am sorry… Ughh… It's embarrassing."
Kai noticed her face turned slightly red as she averted her gaze. Even though she was strong and had a really destructive power, she was unexpectedly a shy girl who got embarrassed rather easily.
"It's okay." He pacified the embarrassed Oni girl as she held her hand a bit tightly. "Look, let's get you new clothes, okay?"
The Oni girl looked up, her face still red, and nodded. "Un."
At that moment, an employee came out from the back of the store.
"Oh, my! What a beautiful Kimono! Welcome! Enjoy your ti– Ah!" Her cheerful voice came to a halt suddenly.
Kai and Ibaraki turned to the employee, confused. But they understood her reaction when they saw her.
The employee was a beautiful woman. She wore a rather fancy dress with a short skirt and black leggings that decorated her long legs. A pair of gold-rimmed glasses decorated her face, and her brown hair fell smoothly to her shoulders.
But what made them understand her reaction was a pair of moving cat ears above her head.
Supernatural races were hiding from the public using a special kind of technique. That technique was only effective against normal people. Those with Spirit Power awakened would see through the technique without any effort.
Then there was a famous fact in the Supernatural World. They all knew that golden irises were a sign of the Mythical Race of creatures. That was why the woman stopped when she noticed Ibaraki's eyes and claimed in surprise.
The pair of Master and the Oni from legend also understood that. That was why they didn't make a big deal out of it. Finding someone from the Supernatural World in New York City was rare, but it wasn't unusual.
Kai nodded his head slightly as she looked at the frozen employee.
"Excuse me." He called out to her, pulling her out of her daze. "Can you find suitable clothes for her, please?" He asked in the most friendly tone he could mutter.
The employee gasped. "Ah! I am truly sorry! I just never expected it. A-Allow me to guide you around and recommend some clothes if you allow me to."
"Sure. We are in your care." Kai replied as he and Ibaraki followed the employee to find the perfect clothes for Ibaraki.
