"Oh~ I see, I see!"
The shop owner grinned knowingly.
"Clothes for Mr. Yi Chen—leave it to me! I'll make sure both of you are satisfied."
She emphasized both, then walked off to select outfits.
Eula's face heated up.
Yi Chen, completely oblivious, nodded enthusiastically.
"Exactly! See, Eula? The public has sharp eyes!"
She kicked him lightly under the table.
"Be quiet. Go try them on."
After several outfits, Yi Chen emerged in a new set.
"This one's good! Easy to move in!"
But Eula frowned slightly.
Something was missing.
After a moment's thought, she stood and walked to another rack—more refined, elegant pieces.
She selected a white inner shirt with subtle silver patterns, a dark blue almost-black fitted jacket, and sleek trousers.
"This one."
She pushed the outfit into his arms.
When Yi Chen stepped out—
The shop fell silent.
The clean tailoring accentuated his figure. The darker tones subdued his sunny charm into something cooler, sharper—silver accents lending noble elegance.
Even the shop owner swallowed.
"My Barbatos…"
Eula's heart skipped—but when she noticed the shop owner staring a bit too appreciatively—
A surge of possessive instinct hit her.
She stepped forward, yanked Yi Chen behind her.
"We'll take this one!"
She shoved mora at the stunned shop owner and fled—dragging Yi Chen behind her.
Only the shop owner remained, smiling brightly.
"Oh my… Mondstadt's rumors are about to get updated."
Eula finally stopped in a quiet alley, breathing hard.
Yi Chen sighed, tugging at the wrinkled clothes.
"New clothes… already wrinkled from running. What a waste."
Eula stared at him, half amused, half exasperated.
"…You can iron them."
She looked away.
"…You'll have plenty of chances to wear them."
"Then let's eat!"
Yi Chen smiled brightly.
Eula turned first.
"Food first. I'll send someone to fetch the rest later."
"This grudge… I'll remember it."
