-ugh...how did it end up like this...

Cecilia muttered making a stiff expression while we scanned through the different options of clothing,she seemed a bit disappointed and I could guess why she was that way.

Looking towards my left I could see angela and christina talking about which one of the t-shirts suited them the most,on the way here to the shopping mall angela had been avoid my face because of the incident this morning that made her pretty embarrassed to talk to me,I wasn't really bothered by that and even if I was it wouldn't make sense since I had seen most of her body when we first met...of course I didn't tell her about that since I didn't want to panic her even more angela herself seemed to have forgotten about our first meeting which was good that way,I wasn't worried about this incident and just waited for her to calm down properly until she could meet my face again.

-Hey...dawn where are you staring at !

Cecilia said a bit agitated pulling my shoulder towards her,I quickly centered my attention back to cecilia who had a skeptical look on her face while crossing her arms.

-A shirt just caught my attention did you say something ?

I tried to play it cool not wanting to get caught staring at someone,cecilia looked behind me to see what I was staring at and just sighed.

Cecilia was a bit surprised when she arrived this morning to my home ready to go for our shopping tour,at the start she was very energetic and excited,but quickly got down when she heard that I was going to bring everyone from my home to go with us,she didn't argue that point and just made a sour face letting the others come with us regardless while hiding her slight displeasure about it,she was pretty bummed out about the fact that we weren't going alone just the 3 of us which I could understand since it was a sudden change of plans,it was also me who changed the plans since it felt very cruel to leave the girls at home while the 3 of us had fun,this also solved a lot of problems concerning clothing since everyone had only things that they brought on their backs which were their clothes literally,getting a new wardrobe for everyone was crucial and would solve a lot of problems we would also need some everyday items for the girls such as toothbrushes and maybe combs any further items they would need they could buy on their own when they would start working on the shop some more.

On the way to the mall we were a pretty attention grabbing crowd because everyone other then me and leraje were female and exceptionally beautiful ones too I was worried that we would get bothered by someone,but because leraje was with us in his human form he was able to single handedly make a barrier to repel the incoming guys from striking up an conversation,leraje could be pretty intimidating and did his job very well the others also got to meet leraje to the first time,actually stella introduced everyone to leraje which was funny since she added a lot of things of how reliable he was and trusting too it made leraje cringe a few times which was funny to look at and I could see a pretty amused smile creep on his face on the introduction the others were the same since they were more inclined on watching the cute stella then leraje,but still the introduction was well made and I also got to see Hestia and leraje meeting each other...the meeting was probably their first time or so I assumed,but couldn't figure out since they only nodded to each other and didn't say anything further the way they looked at each other seemed to be acknowledging and friendly even thought both of them didn't talk one word to each other.

I was curious about,but didn't ask since it was probably not important,and now back to the present we were currently standing on the left wing of this big shopping mall inside of a clothing shop that cecilia had recommended us,conveniently we were also the only customers in this shop which looked to be a bit extravagant for my taste since the clothing seemed to be very quality high and on the latest fashion trend...I wasn't sure if my pockets would be able to deal with this,but cecilia quickly extinguished those worries of mine and told me that everything we bought would be on her tab,I wasn't a overly prideful person and cecilia clearly had a lot of money to spend making me agree since it was a good deal,the girls were also pretty awed when I told them that they could take anything they want for today in this shop,they were really wild and started to change into a lot of clothing which I stopped counting on how many times they did it already,I was hoping that they wouldn't rob the whole shop clean and be a bit more reserved about their choices....

Other then that we got to meet the manager of this shop who seemed to know about cecilia greeting us on our arrival giving us pretty good service such as fashion advice and help me personally I was not good in such things as fashion so I took the help of a employee whose eyes lighted up when she heard that I would need some help on clothing In end cecilia quickly jumped in and offered her help instead,her voice sounded slightly challenging,the female employee didn't even argue and just walked away a bit disappointed...and as I said we were the only customers,but we weren't really alone since a lot of people had gathered up behind the showcase window of the shop they enter the shop for some reason though,it was because they all assumed that we were all models and were doing our work thats why they didn't disturb us really no one seemed to have the guts to go inside and mingle with such beauties which I could understand since I would also get a bit intimidated by it.

On top of that hestia and leraje were actually standing next to the entrance looking like bodyguards even more adding to the fire of gossip that was going on outside..

-Dawn how about this one ?

Cecilia said showing me a black shirt with golden linings,it looked pretty good and had a casual business like charm to it,it was universal so to say.

I smiled and said.

-I like it,its charming...

My answered seemed to have satisfied cecilia as she smiled approvingly,she immediatelly proceeded to pack the clothing into a paper bag that looked as extravagant as the shop itself and continued to look through the clothing trying to chose something for me...I had feeling that if I continue saying "I Like it" regardless of my taste she would start to pack everything singly piece into the paper bag and give it to me...I noted to myself to keep a limit I may unconsciously say things such as this while being distracted,after all I still needed a suit for the celebration and I could tell that this wasn't the only shop we would visit through this tour...

Anyways the day proceeded with a lot of fun and laughter the girls were putting on a fashion show in front of me and acted as if they were professional models walking all exaggerated and alluringly on top of that I was the only guy who seemed to be the spectator for this show since leraje was too occupied with guarding and refused to participate,I could see that there was another reason why he didn't want to see the show,but I didn't ask him,leraje was mysterious like that he would answer anything I needed from him without hiding it even if he liked it or not...I would like him to open up more so I refused to force the questions out of him time would tell if leraje would comfortable enough to talk with me openly.

The girls on the other hand seemed to have a lot of fun going around and showing me their outfits they were all charming and wasn't really the biggest sweet talked in the world so I could only give simple and honest compliments which seemed good enough since they were happy to hear it from me,in one of those runs hestia even participated one time and her entrance was unexpected as it was explosive since she could make the clothing through her flames she didn't need to change and just entered the stage with her fiery red dress which she probably copied the design from somewhere she saw,anyways her curves were really fitting the clothing and her steps were graceful and majestic if someone told me that hestia was a real model I would believe it immediately.

This kind of change made me look at hestia as a gentle beautiful woman then a tomboyish brute temptress who she really was,her legs were partially exposed too giving her a lot of sexual appeal her bust was round and didn't look to be tight,but just right,her expression and the way she was carrying herself was awe-inspiring to the point of devastation....the smile she was giving me was pretty capable enough to make a whole go for a war for her...

In short she was pretty,but really out of character which I could see since she didn't seem to like the tight body dress nor the high heels she was wearing constantly trying to regain her balance with those things and keeping calm...

-So how is it ?

She asked a bit anxious about my answer for some reason,it was as if she wasn't confident enough in front of me even thought she did countless bold action which I could second at any moment,but it was understandable she was trying to show of in front of the person she loved who wouldn't be anxious about the answer..

I smiled seeing her try hard for this I felt flattered and also glad telling her about my opinion.

-You are very beautiful,but I think I like the first one much better..

-ehh ?

My answer seemed to have had her taken by surprise,but she wasn't dissatisfied about and instead smiled even more so brightly about it her clothing also at that very moment quickly changed in the blink of an eye showing her rough and baggy outfit she usually wore combined with her hard boots,it was the look of who she was the way I liked her the most...

-Alright romeo you just got yourself an extra night with me...

She said excitingly without hiding her intent as she stood before me...I laughed and replied.

-Aren't you the only one who really wants that ?

She didn't say anything and just winked me as she quickly walked away from the scene noticing that the girls were returning from their break and about to start the show all over again,cecilia on the topic also made friends with angela pretty fast they got along while shopping together,it made me really surprised since both of their personalities were completely opposite to each other,but they talked and laughed as if they were old friends it seemed like cecilia still enjoyed the company of the girls which made me smile.

After we had finished the first shop cecilia decided for us to go to a different shop now energetically leading the group she wanted us to go towards a business clothing shop were the sold dresses and suits she said that everyone could have 1 dress if they wanted to,but the main reason we were going there was because I needed a suit and knowing the girls,I wasn't going to be the one who would chose the suit.

While we were walking towards the other shop leraje who was standing by my side flinched for a moment and came closer to me,I was intrigued it seemed like he wanted to say something.

-My lor..I mean dawn...I had just felt the presence of 2 other demons coming into the mall...

His report was pretty sudden and unexpected to me,to make it sure I also glanced towards hestia she looked at me and nodded too confirming lerajes senses...

Thinking about it wasn't something to be worried about was it,but leraje reported it to me making it sound like it was something to be worried about...demons...I wasn't sure if I should check or not why should I even worry about it ? can't they just go anywhere they want and do what they want ? who knows maybe their just here to buy something useful...

I stopped for a moment standing still I wasn't sure what to do in my knowledge demons always seem to cause some kind of calamity every time they arrive actually,my personal experience with them was also bad since they always caused trouble,other then leraje of course who was always cool and collected the other demons looked to me like wild and uncontrollable animals...I was distressed I needed to make sure nothing would happen...

Noticing my sudden stop the girls also stopped walking and looked at me confused cecilia came down towards me from the front and asked.

-What is it?

I smiled and quickly grabbed onto lerajes arm he didn't get what I was trying to do,but didn't say anything and just acted along.

-You see both me and leraje need to go to the toilet how about you girls go first and both of us catch up ?

Cecilia hearing me say this immediately got suspicious she first looked at leraje who had a seemingly expressionless face nodding towards cecilia with approval she didn't know what to do and just sighed.

-Alright,but come quick ! I still want to see you in a suit...

I laughed and said that I wouldn't be late...which I wasn't sure about of course.

Before leaving I gave hestia a signal and told her to stay here with the others to protect them...hestia was a bit unwilling and asked me why I took leraje over her...well I couldn't have possibly gone to the toilet with a woman could I ?
