As a villain, I really don't want to be pursued by the heroine.

I have to find an excuse to politely turn it down!

After all, it’s okay for me to be lazy for a day on the annual Grace Day, right?

Under Jon Snow's serious scrutiny, the boy laughed dryly and said, "Actually, I have something else to do. It's actually quite busy."

"...I see." Jon Snow lowered his eyes, feeling a little lost.

Everyone told me to be gentler to Roy and take him out to relax, but he was busy and it would be hard for me to disturb him, right?

"I was originally planning to take you out for a walk, but since you're busy, let's do it next time."

Huh? Hmm?

Roy was shocked.

It's not an experiment, a meeting, or hunting monsters.

Jon Snow wants to take me out... to play?!

God knows why her icy head suddenly became smart, but Roy only knew that if he missed this opportunity, he would miss it forever.

Anyway, I will stay at home all day when I go back.

I can get away with tutoring and work, but if you tell me to go out and play I won’t be sleepy anymore!

Seeing the silver-haired girl about to turn around, Roy said instantly: "Oh, it suddenly occurred to me that I'm actually busy tomorrow, so I'm pretty free today."

Jon Snow turned around leisurely, his eyelashes fluttering, his beautiful icy blue eyes looking clear and bright, and his tone became lighter: "Really?"

Roy nodded vigorously: "Really!"

"Then let's leave now."

"Ah, wait, I might need to go change my clothes."

Roy had just slaughtered a monster, so his body was inevitably stained with blood. It was not appropriate to wear this outfit on the street.

After a moment's thought, Jon Snow said, "No need."

"Just buy a new one."

At Jon Snow's strong request, Roy came to the clothing store of the Blue Moon Chamber of Commerce.

Roy often accompanies Charlotte and the others out shopping, so he is considered a regular here.

However, he rarely came here specifically to buy clothes for himself.

On the recommendation of the salesgirl, Roy immediately fell in love with a well-cut black mink coat.

Roy likes it very much because it is low-key, luxurious, warm and convenient for movement.

"This gentleman has excellent taste! This is a pure handmade coat made by a master fashion designer from our South Sea Kingdom! You can get it for just 1000 gold coins!"

Good man, are you stealing money?

Having had experience as a guest adventurer, Roy was more familiar with the prices of raw materials than ordinary nobles.

A black-skinned marten with excellent fur only costs 10 gold coins. You're multiplying it a hundredfold—that's ridiculous, isn't it?!

It's not that he can't afford it, but Roy has been very concerned about money recently because he spent a lot of money to buy extraordinary weapons for the little maid.

Especially when it comes to clothes, he has always been willing to pay for girls but wear whatever he wants himself.

Well, at this time, should I pretend that I don’t like it and wait and see?

However, just as Roy was about to put the mink coat back, Jon Snow beside him said decisively: "I want this one."

"Oh? That's not good. I don't need to bother you with money to buy clothes."

"Don't worry about it." Jon Snow said as he started taking out his magic crystal card to pay.

The main feature is the atmosphere.

"It just so happens that today is a holiday. As your personal mentor, there's nothing wrong with giving me a gift occasionally."

"Besides, I have territories in the empire that collect taxes, so this amount of money is not a big expense."

Jon Snow guessed that the sensible apprentice would be polite to him, so he had already thought of his response.

Roy found it difficult to refuse his mentor's request.

A few minutes later, the boy wearing a mink coat walked out of the fitting room.

The black slim coat draped over his shoulders showed low-key luxury. Coupled with the boy's handsome face and calm and elegant temperament, it attracted the attention of the girls and ladies in the store.

The silver-haired girl looked straight at him, sized him up for a moment, and suddenly walked towards him.

The faint scent of blue roses wafted from the silver hair, making Roy a little confused: "Teacher Jon Snow?"

"Don't move." Jon Snow reached out and straightened his collar, lapels, and even the hem from top to bottom.

Then she stepped back, looked at the boy, and nodded in satisfaction.

The admiring look, as if one were looking at a work of art, made Roy feel strangely embarrassed.

I always feel that something is wrong with Teacher Jon Snow today.

Her voice was very soft, lacking her usual coldness and adding a touch of barely perceptible tenderness: "Do you like it?"

"Quite like."

"That's good."

The silver-haired girl raised the corners of her lips in pleasure.

If you don’t want to be disliked by your apprentices, you as a mentor need to be more gentle.

She wasn't very good at this kind of thing, but now it seemed like she had made a good start.

Everything was just as she planned—

"Isn't Mr. Snow going to buy new clothes?"

"...Me?" Jon Snow was stunned.

"Yes, doesn't Mr. Jon Snow want to buy it?" Roy asked as a matter of course.

In Roy's personal experience, it's impossible for a girl to go shopping without buying clothes, just like it's impossible for a cult member not to do cruel things.

You know, even Alice, who refused verbally, was very happy for a long time after receiving the new clothes.

Roy made up his mind: "Why don't I buy a piece of clothing for Mr. Xue Nuo."

"This, this is not good..." The situation that was beyond the plan caught Jon Snow off guard.

I'm supposed to be pampering my apprentice, so how can I accept a gift from someone else? Is that appropriate?

"What's wrong with that? Just consider it a return gift for the Grace Day gift." Roy repeated what Jon Snow had just said, gently pushed her, and went to the women's clothing area to choose clothes.

Chapter 52: A Perfect Match between Master and Disciple

Once he reaches the women's clothing area, Jon Snow has no say.

The enthusiastic female shop assistants rushed over and quickly escorted Jon Snow into the fitting room.

The silver-haired girl who always had a dull expression and a cold aura was unusually at a loss, with her gaze wandering, which was unexpectedly cute.

Although it was a bit strange that Jon Snow was suddenly so nice to him today, Roy was not the kind of shameless person who would say yes to others' requests.

We have to pay attention to the courtesy when doing things.

Moreover, thinking about Mr. Jon Snow’s new skin makes me a little excited.

Soon, the silver-haired girl reappeared with a brand new look.

Even though he was mentally prepared, Roy was still stunned and momentarily stunned.

Jon Snow wore a soft, light, and slim-fitting white mink coat, with a dark blue sleeveless knee-length skirt underneath. His beautiful, slender legs were wrapped in black silk knee-high socks with ice crystal prints, and his naturally loose silver hair was tied into a high ponytail.

It is like a snow rose covered in silver on a winter morning, isolated from the world, beautiful and charming but lacking in elegance.

There is no shortage of beautiful northern beauties from the Empire with fair skin and snow-white complexion in the Citadel, but Jon Snow is like the most heart-warming rose among countless roses, overshadowing countless other women present.

Especially when she came in front of Roy, the boy and girl in black and white stood side by side, their temperaments complemented each other, making it even harder to look away.

The saleswoman had clearly chosen this outfit based on Roy's attire, and upon seeing this, she couldn't help but praise, "You two look so well-matched!"

Roy's heart skipped a beat when he heard this.

Noticing the slight change in his good disciple's expression, Jon Snow frowned slightly: "We are not that kind of relationship, just master and disciple."

Oh, teacher-student romance. It's the kind that's just starting out, the kind that's too embarrassing to admit.

The knowledgeable shop assistant had already labeled them in her mind and changed her way of praising them: "What a perfect match between master and apprentice!"

"Putting aside the fact that they're a good match, this outfit really suits Mr. Jon Snow, doesn't it?" Roy praised Jon Snow with ease, and couldn't help but take a few more glances.

Looking at himself in the mirror, Jon Snow was a little dazed.

"Looks good... doesn't it?"

Like snow being swept away by a breeze, fragments buried deep in the past gradually emerge.

She couldn't remember how long it had been since she had gone to a clothing store like this to buy clothes. She only remembered that when she was a child, her parents' faces also brightened when they praised her new clothes.

Just like Roy now.

"Teacher Snow?"

"......nothing."

Roy didn't think that Jon Snow was the kind of naive girl who would be overwhelmed with joy when someone praised her for her beauty.

Quite the opposite.

Seeing her staring at the mirror in silence for a moment, I couldn't help but feel suspicious.

Could it be that I stepped on a landmine?

Jon Snow turned around, raised his finger, and pointed out the disagreement: "I care. I only bought you one piece of clothing, but you bought me a whole set. Even if it's a gift between master and apprentice, it should be equal in value."

"Huh? No no no, a grown man can just wear anything."

"I object. Clothes make the man. Mr. Roy has an outstanding appearance, and his appearance should not be overshadowed by his clothes."

At Jon Snow's strong request, it was Roy's turn to be carried back to the men's clothing area by the salesgirl.

I didn't expect Mr. Jon Snow to be so serious in a strange place...

But looking at the young man, the silver-haired girl's eyes became softer, like ice and snow gradually melting under the bright sunlight.

She kind of understood why everyone was asking her to be more pampering with her apprentice.

Roy is really a good boy and a good apprentice.

As his personal mentor, I should really be a little gentler to him.

After visiting the clothing store, the two of them officially started their shopping trip today.

"Is there any place Mr. Snow would like to visit?"

"I don't care. I came here today just to keep you company."

Such a matter-of-fact answer made Roy feel a little embarrassed.

If it were other girls, Roy would have been somewhat cautious and pretended to casually visit the places they liked.

But Jon Snow wasn't the type to go shopping. She might be more interested in hunting monsters or completing research reports.

So Roy didn't hesitate and went straight to the Magician's Academy.

He was following the society's product list but had never actually visited.

When I bought a gift for Alice before, I also sent a letter to the society and asked them to deliver the gift to my door.

I haven’t seen the latest product list yet, so it might be a good idea to come and take a look in person.

The entire middle level of the Magicians' Society is dedicated to selling goods.

Beneath the star-studded chandeliers, a dazzling array of potions, props, and even extraordinary weaponry filled the entire hall. In the distance, one could even glimpse the massive corpses of Warcraft being slowly carried in, a truly spectacular sight.

Even though he was mentally prepared, Roy couldn't help but blink when he saw so many extraordinary resources.

Among the seven major powers in Viszea, the Lionheart Kingdom and the Winter Empire have the strongest military, and the South Sea Kingdom and the Golden Sand Kingdom have the strongest financial resources.

But when it comes to reserves of extraordinary resources, the Magic Kingdom is undoubtedly the richest.
