Chapter 182: Definitely Not a Lolicon
Lvzi feigned a spear thrust in her sleep, emitting soft murmurs without awakening.
Meanwhile, the young girl stepped into the bedroom.
Her gaze immediately fell upon the naked Lvzi sprawled across the bed. After a brief moment of surprise, she turned to the white-haired maiden with a blossoming smile.
"Congratulations, Mother! Little sister Lvzi looks absolutely adorable."
"Indeed."
Adorable she certainly was, but… why the congratulations?
"It appears sister has lost consciousness again."
Red Pupil approached and gently stroked Lvzi’s head, only to abruptly halt her motion.
Upon withdrawing her hand, she discovered traces of translucent moisture glistening on her palm.
"Mother remained with sister Lvzi for quite some time. I nearly feared something untoward had occurred."
As she spoke, the young girl carefully smoothed the moisture back into Lvzi’s silken tresses.
"We did linger somewhat. I was merely conversing with Lvzi."
Noticing the child’s actions, Lin Yu deftly redirected the conversation.
"Incidentally, I procured two garments for you during our town visit. Would you care to try them?"
With a graceful motion, she summoned the clothing from her dimensional storage.
The first ensemble – practical brown-green shorts paired with a cropped top, ideal for woodland camouflage. The second – an exquisite black-and-red dress adorned with delicate lace trim, both purchased during her possession of Army Lady at the town’s boutique.
The garments’ appearance instantly captivated Red Pupil’s attention.
"Are these… truly for me?"
"Indeed."
These dimensions were tailored exclusively for your petite form.
How amusing~
Though unattempted, with sufficient effort perhaps even I could don them?
"Did Mother personally select these?"
The child eagerly closed the distance, tiny hands fluttering with restrained excitement.
"Certainly."
Lin Yu first arranged the woodland outfit upon the bed before presenting the coveted black-and-red dress.
"Let us begin with this one – we shall assess its fit."
"Absolutely!"
Red Pupil’s eager nod accompanied her riveted gaze upon the delicate garment.
As the young girl began disrobing, a sudden recollection struck Lin Yu.
From her dimensional storage emerged the accompanying undergarments, carefully selected to complement the outfits, which she now placed discreetly upon the bedding.
"And these."
Compared to the breast bindings and undergarments obtained from the villagers, the lingerie purchased from the town’s clothing store was crafted from far superior fabric, with more elegant designs as well.
The little girl gave a nod.
After removing her outer garments and trousers, she promptly shed the binding cloth and undergarments too, then changed into the fresh lingerie.
Throughout this, Lin Yu merely cast a fleeting glance.
Having seen Lvzi’s form, she found little allure in observing Red Pupil now.
After all, I’m no lolicon!
And… *pfft*, Red Pupil’s even less remarkable than myself.
Yet when Red Pupil slipped into the skirt, Lin Yu found herself utterly mesmerized.
It truly suits Red Pupil…
Adorable.
No—absolutely precious!
"Mother… what do you think? Does it look nice?"
"Mmm, lovely."
"Then… is it cute?"
"Delightful."
"Thank you, Mother! Your daughter adores this dress!"
A cherubic smile blossomed across the child’s face as she embraced Lin Yu.
Overwhelmed by such sweetness, Lin Yu momentarily froze in the hug, uncertain how to respond.
"May I have head pats?"
The little girl tilted her face upward then, gemstone eyes blinking enormous and luminous at Lin Yu.
A picture of endearing innocence.
"Mmm."
Lin Yu compliantly extended her hand to stroke the child’s head, receiving a perfectly timed expression of bliss in return.
Next came another outfit for the girl to model.
While not as charming as the skirt, the store-bought shorts and cropped top still flattered Red Pupil far more than the coarse village garments, fitting her neatly besides.
Once the fitting concluded however, Red Pupil began peeling off the new clothes, reaching instead for the two aged, rough-textured garments.
"Leave those discarded."
Lin Yu’s brows knitted slightly as she intervened.
"Does Mother wish me to wear these two?"
"Mmm."
"But I fear ruining them during future hunts…"
"If they get damaged, I’ll buy you new ones."
"Then…"
The little girl nodded and stored the two coarse garments in her dimensional space.
"These clothes were also a gift from Mother, so I’ll treasure them and never discard them."
"Mmm…"
As you wish.
Though you’ll soon have more garments than you can count. With such an adorable daughter, how could I resist buying countless lovely dresses?
"What about Mother’s clothes? Why haven’t you changed?"
"I haven’t purchased mine yet."
"Mother bought clothes for me… before getting her own?"
I had other items to procure at the time, so I only selected outfits for Red Pupil and Army Lady.
The child seemed deeply moved, emitting a soft whimper before burying herself in the white-haired maiden’s embrace, nuzzling affectionately.
…
Meanwhile, elsewhere.
At the town’s boutique.
The shop bell chimed as Army Lady entered.
"Welcome! Oh my, it’s our young miss!"
The proprietress greeted with effusive warmth.
"I hadn’t expected your return so soon."
"I’ve come to purchase garments."
Army Lady shifted uncomfortably under the enthusiastic reception.
"We haven’t received new inventory since your last visit – these are mostly pieces you’ve already browsed."
The shopkeeper maintained her polished smile.
"Truthfully, I assumed you might explore other establishments."
"Mo— *ahem*… I’d promised to return."
Mother had given her word to revisit this shop – she must have particularly favored it, Army Lady reasoned.
The proprietress blinked in surprise at such earnestness.
She’d taken the earlier promise as mere social courtesy.
Was it her imagination, or did the girl seem… different from their last encounter?
"Well then… please take your time, dear."
"Mm."
With a nod, Army Lady began meticulously examining the wares.
«Do you know Mother’s sartorial preferences?»
Stealth One’s voice whispered from the shadows.
«Mother granted me free selection.»
«So you’re choosing at random?»
«N-naturally not!»
Despite her vehement tone, uncertainty gnawed at Army Lady.
What if her selections displeased Mother? Would she be disappointed… think her inconsiderate…
«The measurements?»
Stealth One posed another challenge.
«Pardon?»
«Do you know Mother’s proportions? Height, shoulder span, bust, waistline – the metrics for proper fit?»
«I… don’t.»
«I thought as much.»
A deliberate pause.
«Fortunately, I possess this knowledge. I can assist.»
«You… know? How?»
«What do you imagine?»
The faintest smugness colored Stealth One’s even tone.
Standard protocol dictated all Stealth Ants remain within immediate proximity of Lin Yu – unless expressly instructed otherwise.
