Chapter 230

    <h4>Chapter 230: Chapter 230</h4>


    It wasn’t easy for them to walk in human form. When they finally arrived at the shop, they could see it was surprisingly neat. The door was made of quality ss and the sign was written cleanly in white paint. However, it only scared them.


    “Wouldn’t they kick us out?”


    They were wearing clothes of the adventurers they had killed for trespassing their mistress’s territory. And since adventurers never wore decent clothes, they were practically wearing rags.


    But until now, it had been their only way to acquire human clothes. Of course, they could steal from people, but they had the pride as their mistress’s underlings and didn’t want to steal anything.


    “I think they would.”


    Snow was immediately overwhelmed by the neatly dressed customers and saleswoman. She worried they might only get humiliated in there.


    However, nco was just eager to reach those piles of clothes.


    “If they tell us to get out, I will kick them out.”


    “But this isn’t our mistress’s territory. We can’t do as we please.”


    “Even Madam Berry willpliment what I’m about to do! She said designers should wee all customers.”


    nco acted as if Presa was Madam Berry’s territory and she was her underling. Snow wanted to point out the fact, but she didn’t.


    She was also excited every time the saleswoman showed to the customers a dress. They all looked so pretty, and she was eager to take a closer look.


    “They’ll buy it if we say we’re here to buy dresses for our wives. Although adventurers dress poorly, they always carry a lot of cash.”


    “But wouldn’t they be suspicious of them? Adventurers might lose all their money at gambling houses, but they would never buy dresses for their wives.”


    “There are at least a few exceptions in every group. We can show them we have enough money, and they won’t kick us out. It always works well at fabric shops.”


    The two underlings checked their wallets and went inside. The clear sound of a bell echoed as they opened the door.


    “Wee!”


    Thankfully, the saleswoman didn’t kick them out but weed them with a kind smile. Showing off their heavy wallets had been the right choice.


    “I’m here to buy dresses for my wife. First, show me the best dress you have!”


    “Of course, here it is.”


    The woman took out the most expensive dress in the shop and showed it to the excited Snow. It was made of silk ribbons andces, and they had seen such dresses only in pamphlets. Snow immediately decided to buy it.


    “I want to buy the biggest size you have.”


    “The biggest? But that’s really... big. It won’t fit your wife.”


    “How big it is?”


    “Only someone who is three meters tall can wear it.”


    It clearly wasn’t a size for humans. Why on earth had Madam Berry made such a thing? She even sent it to the shop to be sold.


    Was she trying a weird thing for promotion effects? Anyway, the saleswoman had to exin about it every time a customer wanted the biggest size, so she really didn’t like the extra work.


    “I want it! My wife is that size.”


    “What? Your wife is three meters tall?”


    “Yes.”


    They didn’t have time to waste. Their transformation wasn’t going tost long. It made Snow impatient and she showed her wallet first. The saleswoman thought it would be full of silver coins, but what she took out were shining gold coins.


    “I will wrap it up for you.”


    No salesperson could resist the temptation of gold coins. The woman stopped thinking and started wrapping. nco went to her with a dress and carefully asked, “Is this the dress Ms. Grace wears?”


    “Yes. It’s in a different color and material, but the same design. But it’s a dress for unmarried girls, so it won’t be appropriate for your wife...”


    “Marital status doesn’t matter in fashion! Wrap me ten of this dress, the biggest size.”


    nco eventually lost control at hearing it was the dress Grace wore.


    “Ten? Do you really need that much?”


    “Yes, I need at least that much, for myself and as a present for my friends.”


    “What? You’re going to wear it yourself?”


    nco made a slip of tongue in excitement, and Snow quickly tried to take care of it.


    “My friend must have made a mistake while talking in excitement. Um, his wife is really huge and hasn’t been able to find a dress in her size.”


    “Oh, I see.”


    There were that many women who were three meters tall? It was hard to believe, but the woman decided to buy it at seeing nco take out more gold coins. Gold was never wrong.


    “How about buying different kinds of dresses rather than buying ten of the same dress?”


    “No, we don’t have time for them. Just wrap them up quickly. We must go.”


    nco sensed her talons wereing back to their original forms and yelled. The woman quickly started to wrap. It was weird that the customer was asking for ten dresses of unbelievable size, but what was even stranger was that the shop indeed had ten dresses of unbelievable size.


    But... whatever. She got a huge bonus every time she sold a dress, and she was paid almost three more times than that when she sold thergest size. That bonus made her dismiss her growing suspicions.


    “Here they are.”


    As soon as she said that, the two underlings took their purchase and ran out of the shop. As soon as they left the alley and reached the forest, they came back to their huge original forms.


    “We did it!”


    “We bought dresses, we bought dresses!”


    They had bought enough for themselves and their friends. They held hands and danced in joy. Minos smiled as he looked at them from a tree a little far away.


    He was d that his n was working, but he was even dder that he could take their gold. He had invested some money in the shop for it.


    ‘Now they’lle every day. I must tell them to make as many of thergest size dresses as possible.’


    And he was right, they came to buy more dresses every day. Moreover, nco and Snow were not the only underlingsing. In just a few days, Madam Berry became the second-highest deity to Iber’s underlings, right after the dragon herself.


    The moment they were allpletely addicted to her dresses, Minos moved on to the next step.


    “nco.”


    nco, who was happily choosing dresses to buy at Presa, looked up when being called. She could recognize Minos immediately, although he was in human form.


    “Well, well, well. Look who it is. ymore’s loyal subject!”


    “Oh, please don’t be so cold to me.”


    nco wished she could grab him by his cor and throw him out, but this wasn’t her home. She looked away as if she had just seen something dirty and talked to the saleswoman.


    “Does this dresse in any other color?”


    As nco was a VIP who gave the shop more than half of its profits, the saleswoman always considered her as her top priority. nco wanted to talk to her and ignore Minos.


    “Yes, it alsoes in sky blue. Oh, Mr. Minos!”


    However, the moment she saw Minos, her attention immediately moved to him. She had never been so nervous around nco, no matter how many dresses she bought.


    “I didn’t know you wereing. Please, sit here.”


    She even asked him to sit down, but she had never asked nco to sit down. Of course, as she always had very little time to shop, she would never have been able to sit down, but the woman had never asked her, which was a huge difference. She couldn’t help being jealous.


    “Hmm.”


    Minos pretended to think and nced at nco. She had her back turned to them, but he could see she was trying hard to eavesdrop. It was time to cast the bait.


    “No, I must leave soon. Well, how is business?”


    “It’s going extremely well.”


    “Well? But your sales are a lot smallerpared to the other shop in the capital.”


    The saleswoman had thought she was about to beplimented, so she was quite surprised to hear that. Although she was selling only dresses of thergest size, it was almost a miracle to raise that much profit in such a rural town.


    “Mr. Minos, I know this shop cannot bepared to the ones in the capital, but I think its sales are considerably high.”


    “No, I am not questioning your capability. I rather think you are being undervalued. You can do much better, you shouldn’t be stuck in this small town. We’re nning to start exporting our produces, so how about closing this shop and moving to a harbor? You will get many more customers...”


    “No!”


    With that shriek, Minos was thrown to the ceiling. As he fell again, nco’s hand quickly grabbed him by his cor and ran out before the saleswoman could stop her.


    ‘At least she’s not throwing me on the ground!’


    However, nco did exactly that as soon as they reached the deste forest. She hadn’t been able to do it at the shop only because there had been too many eyes watching.
