Half-elf Notebook

"Hello, Miss Ina."

As a girl of noble birth, she did not show any contempt or indifference. Instead, she smiled and enthusiastically extended her hand to Ina, who was of ordinary status.

"Nice to meet you, Miss Christine."

Ina shook hands with the other party and returned the same courtesy, while using her perception ability to detect the other party's magic power.

Within this range, any magician or professional who is not two levels above her spiritual power will find it difficult to hide his or her rank.

At the same time, Ina was also quietly observing Christine's expression and performance, hoping to get a more comprehensive understanding of this purple-eyed girl.

The magic power of a formal magician is very stable, and it doesn't look like he has just started... He has good talent. According to Aixia, he deserves to go to a better academy.

At least there shouldn't be any problem with the Kingdom's Second Academy... This enthusiasm doesn't seem fake... Ina analyzed secretly.

She wanted to see something from some details, but to her surprise her efforts were in vain.

The same is true for Christine.

Of course, without Ina's extraordinary abilities and unable to even open her magic eyes, she naturally couldn't see through the true depth of the white-haired girl.

Judging from her only based on her social experience and perspective, unfortunately, the result she got was the same as Ina's.

In the past, observing people's expressions and pretending to be what the other person wants to see has always been one of Ina's skills.

Even though he is no longer so skilled, he won't be easily discovered.

Besides, she didn't pretend.

"Oh, right! Ms. Christine is a shareholder of the "Starry Night and Ball" clothing store, so she will get a lot of discounts!"

When the two greeted each other, Aixia interrupted at the right time to avoid having nothing to talk about due to unfamiliarity between the two sides.

"The number of shareholders is too exaggerated. I am at most a member. Those shares are still managed by my father. I just enjoy the dividends brought by the shares."

Christine quickly waved her hands to explain.

The composure and vigilance just displayed were gone.

After all, she was just a young noble lady who had just come of age and was inexperienced in the world.

"Wait, you invited me here just for a discount certificate!?"

Christine suddenly realized something and glared at Aixia.

"You can't say that. I really want to choose a dress with you... After all, the entrance banquet will be in a week or two. Since we're already here, it's normal to save as much as possible, isn't it?"

"That's true."

"You can't leave! What am I going to do without you! Christine, can you bear to see your best friend and another lovely classmate leave with only a few wrinkled clothes to choose from?"

Aixia hugged Christine's arm tightly.

The force of the attack was so strong that Christine even took a half step back involuntarily.

Such a quick confession!

Ina looked at the funny businessman who immediately gave in:

"In fact, I'm fine."

Start cutting right away.

Christine herself reached out and pushed the blonde girl who was clinging to her like a piece of dried honey.

Too bad it didn't push...

"Okay, okay, I didn't say I was leaving, let go first."

Christine spoke helplessly:

"You are the eldest daughter of the Berleman Chamber of Commerce after all."

She knew that her friend was not really short of money. Even if she was, the president of the Berleman Chamber of Commerce would not blame his daughter for one or two sets of clothes.

"Oh, by the way, Sister Ina hasn't answered my question yet."

Aixia still held Christine's arm, but at the same time, she had quietly and smoothly switched the topic and the person she was talking to:

"Don't worry, after all, I invited you, so the bill will naturally be paid by me, your sister."

She winked at Ina with her right eye, looking quite playful.

The tone is very generous.

If you have someone powerful enough to hold on to, you can speak with confidence.

You should have said it earlier. I just took it... Of course, Ina was just saying this in her heart.

"No, I don't need it yet."

In order to meet daily needs, she had already brought most of her clothes and shoes with her before leaving Lei Shi.

What was in the suitcase was only part of it - much more was stored in the ring.

"no!"

Aixia objected unexpectedly, her voice full of unquestionable determination.

"Huh? Why?"

Ina looked confused.

On the other hand, Aixia had let go of Christine and walked a few steps to Ira, with her hands on her hips, looking serious:

"Sister Ina, what are you going to do for your next party?"

"What do you mean?"

Ina was even more confused.

Doesn’t eating hard count as participating in it?

Well, it was a bit unorthodox indeed—but for the moment, I still couldn’t understand what Aixia really meant.

"Dress! Dress!"

Aixia emphasized it twice, looking very disappointed:

"The matriculation dinner will be held soon. You need a dress that can attract an excellent dance partner. You can't just rely on casual clothes or the bulky and old-fashioned wizard robes prepared by the academy to handle the dinner, right?"

This time, without waiting for Ina to answer, the blonde girl spoke on her own:

"This won't work!"

After saying that, he took Ina's hand with his soft touch and led her to the fitting room in the store.

"I just happened to have seen a few nice dresses and I just needed a place to try them on... They're just what Sister Ina needs."

"Wait a minute, wait a minute..."

However, Ina, who realized it too late, was unable to resist at all.

Considering that struggling hard might hurt the other person, Ina had no choice but to let Aixia lead her and followed behind awkwardly.

Christine looked at Aixia, whose eyes sparkled, and Ina, who looked embarrassed and awed, with a hint of sympathy in her eyes.
