Latest Advance Chapter Chapter 160
Chapter 88 Afternoon Tea
Half an hour later, Claire, wearing a long dress, short socks and small leather shoes, waited anxiously in the hotel lobby. She was wearing her hair down today, and only two strands of hair hanging from her ears were tied up behind her head using a light white ribbon. It made her look like those dignified and virtuous rich ladies.
Reiner was still dressed in a shirt. He nodded in satisfaction when he saw Claire's appearance.
"Let's go."
"Where are we going?"
Claire hurriedly followed Reiner's footsteps. She saw him call a carriage, and waited until she sat next to Reiner before she could ask.
"You will know when we get there."
Smiling mysteriously, Reiner didn't explain much.
The carriage space was not very spacious, so Claire and Reiner had physical contact from time to time. Reiner naturally didn't feel much, but Claire felt that her heart was beating fast and she couldn't calm down.
Torrento was the veritable capital of the province of Ann Monet. The streets were full of traffic, and it took more than half an hour for the carriage to reach the destination.
As soon as Claire got off the car, she felt the noisy crowd.
This place was completely different from the rural area of Luna Nova magical academy. The men and women on the street were dressed in trendy clothes, and they were walking in a hurry. There were rows of shops and buildings. One could see many signs hanging between the buildings. There was no doubt that this was one of the most prosperous street in Torrendo.
Vanchem Avenue, a commercial street with 500 shops of various sizes, and more than 70% of the goods in Torrendo would flow through here; whether it was ordinary daily goods or magic items, as long as it was a commodity that could be circulated on the market, people could find their traces here.
Claire hadn't recovered her senses yet, she didn't know why Reiner brought her here.
"Are we going to buy something?"
She asked, but Reiner shook his head.
"No, we just come here for a walk?"
"What?"
Claire couldn't understand Reiner's intentions at all, but after Reiner took Claire into a shop full of beautiful dresses, she completely forgot this doubt and couldn't remember it again.
Reiner did research in advance. This women's clothing store named Afternoon Tea Party was a famous clothing store in Torrendo that had three hundred years of history. All the clothes here were handmade, and a simple dress could cost dozens of silver coins. The higher end clothes would be more expensive, but it still wouldn't stop the rich ladies from buying them.
"Just take a look and tell me if you like."
Reiner said that he didn't lack money at all, so it was no problem to buy some new clothes for Claire, who usually managed school affairs.
Anyway, Reiner felt that a girl of her age should not wear that old-fashioned robe to cover herself.
Girls should wear beautiful dresses.
Now that he had changed the uniform for Luna Nova magical academy, he naturally wanted to help Claire improve her living standard.
"Re... really?"
Claire's eyes widened in disbelief, and Reiner's sudden generosity made her feel at a loss, for fear that this was some kind of trap.
"You won't ask me to do something at night to pay for the dress, right?"
"... Okay, let's leave then."
"Wait, wait, I was joking."
Claire held Reiner, her nature as a woman made her have no resistance to these beautiful clothes. Since Reiner let her pick whatever she wanted, then Claire simply gave up struggling. Even if it was a trap, she would still jump in.
After all, instead of regretting not buying, it was better to regret buying!
Immediately, Claire began to pick dresses in the two-story clothing store.
Claire, who was used to being poor, was a little dazzled by the dazzling rows of beautiful clothes. At this time, a young woman in a black and white ruffled dress approached and asked very politely.
"Do you need any help?"
At this time, Reiner noticed that there was a nameplate on the woman's chest. She should be a clerk in this store.
It was indeed a professional clothing store, even the clothes of the staff were consistent with the overall style.
"I want to help this lady choose a few dresses, um, three for daily, two for formal occasions."
Reiner thought for a while and said. Ordinary aristocrats had many well-made long dresses, and even in wealthier homes, a long dress would never be worn twice on formal occasions.
But that would be too extravagant, and Reiner didn't think it was necessary to be so flamboyant, but proper dresses were still necessary.
"Okay, so do you have any specific preference? These long skirts are cheaper, but the sizes are all standard. The price of manual tailoring is more expensive, but the size and style can be customized according to requirements."
The clerk explained patiently, making Claire a little flustered and subconsciously looking at Reiner.
"The formal dress needs to be tailored by hand. In terms of daily dress, they can be standard."
Reiner replied. Ordinary clothes were fine as long as they fit relatively well, but clothes for formal occasions couldn't be like that.
"I understand, so what are the requirements for style..."
Next, the clerk asked Claire to choose clothes while Reiner waited, giving advice from time to time.
In the end, Claire chose three relatively simple skirts. After confirming the style of the dress with the clerk, she followed another clerk with a measuring tape into the dressing room to measure the size.
Reiner sat on the sofa on the first floor, waiting for Claire to come out.
Although women’s clothes in this era could not be separated from the complex and gorgeous royal palace style, some simple designs had also appeared. This afternoon tea party clothing store should be one of the shops that were at the forefront of the trend. The skirts here were no longer the bloated design, which had a variety of patterns, but was closer to the Victorian clothing on the earth, with lace, ruffles, ribbons, bows and other elements as the main elements, which was less graceful and luxurious, and more girlish and lovely.
In fact, most of the customers in the shop were young girls. The shop assistants in black and white dresses were introducing the girls their styles in detail, and Reiner also overheard a lot of information.
"Dana would probably like this place."
Reiner thought that next time he had the opportunity, he could also bring that student with design talent to come here for a look, maybe she could still make friends with the boss here.
While he was thinking about this, Claire walked out of the dressing room, and after determining the style and size, the rest was done by the tailor.
"Your lover has a really good figure. It makes me a little envious."
The previous clerk got the list measured by the colleague, glanced at it and said with a smile, Reiner neither admitted nor denied it, but Claire looked away, silently defending something.
Reiner followed the clerk to the checkout counter and checked the price, but it didn't surprise him.
"Since there is no delivery service in this store, please come back one week later."
The clerk said, and then handed the receipt to Reiner for his signature.
So Reiner generously wrote "Reiner Ian Gray, Luna Nova magical academy" and returned the receipt to the clerk.
But after the clerk got the receipt, her eyes suddenly widened, and after repeated confirmations, she asked tremblingly.
"You are the winner of the Hohenheim Golden Cup, Reiner Ian Gray?"
