"So, what kind of clothes are you looking to have made this ti? Or did you really just co to see ?" Chiori asked, leading Lu Li to the fitting room at the back of the shop, her arms crossed as she looked at him curiously.
Lu Li nodded. "As expected, I can't hide anything from you. Actually, I am here to support your business. Chiori, I wanted to ask, could you custom-make a heat-resistant combat uniform for ?"
"Of course. But the cost will be much higher than for regular clothes. It requires special Silk Flowers from Liyue, made with a special fiber," Chiori said, snapping her fingers. Her Geo Vision flashed, and a miniature paper doll automaton appeared beside her. "A heat-resistant uniform... I assu your basic requirent isn't just heat resistance, but for the clothes to not be damaged when you use your elental powers, correct?"
Lu Li nodded and handed her a rough sketch of a design he had drawn. Though his drawing skills were poor, as an outstanding designer, Chiori could basically understand the style he was going for. After a mont of thought, she looked up at him, her brow furrowed.
"Isn't this... the uniform for those debt collectors? Although you've modified many parts and added more details, but..." Chiori asked softly, "Lu Li... have you beco a Debt Collector?"
"...Mm. Orders from above. I can't refuse." Lu Li shook his head and tried to reassure her. "But I know my limits. I won't use that power often if I can help it. And compared to the terrible price ordinary people have to pay, the cost for soone who can already channel elental power isn't as high."
Chiori pursed her lips. "Fine, do as you please. It's your path. As long as you know your limits. And it's not like you don't have other options. As a friend, that's all I can say."
Lu Li smiled wryly and rubbed his nose. Seeing Chiori was clearly in a bad mood, he knew it was best not to say more.
Chiori looked down at the sketch again. "Although the drawing is rough, I can probably figure out what you want. A long robe with a hood, with certain elental conductivity and heat resistance, right? The cuffs of the shirt and the style of the trousers... hmm, I didn't know you had an artistic side. This is completely different from the Debt Collector uniforms I've seen before. It has a lot of reference value; I could use it for so unique designs in other clothes."
"Hmph, then feel free to use it for inspiration," Lu Li said proudly. "Even if I have to be one, I'll be a special Debt Collector."
"I don't see what's so great about that," Chiori rolled her eyes. She took a asuring tape from her automaton assistant, "Sode," and said, "Anyway, I understand your requirents. Let's go. Into the fitting room. I'll take your asurents, and then I can tell you how long it will take to make the clothes."
The young employee, Aieru, who was waiting nearby, was stunned. Usually, this was her job. Why was the boss doing it herself this ti?
Before pulling Lu Li into the fitting room, Chiori turned to Aieru and said, "Close the shop for a while. My ti is booked for him."
Aieru nodded blankly and hurried to the door to hang up the "Temporarily Closed" sign.
——————
Inside the small, enclosed fitting room, Lu Li and Chiori stood face to face. Their breathing was clearly audible, but what Lu Li slled most clearly was a unique fragrance. It wasn't from Chiori herself, but from the fitting room.
"It's Emilie's perfu. The fresh scent of lavender. What do you think?" Chiori asked softly as she finished asuring his shoulder width and moved on to his biceps, noticing his engrossed expression.
"It slls wonderful, very tasteful," Lu Li said. "Mm, I feel like I haven't changed much, right?"
"You've changed a lot. Although your shoulder width hasn't increased significantly, your muscles and height have grown quite a bit. So the data I had for you before is useless. I have to reasure everything," Chiori said coolly. "Since I'm the one making the clothes, they have to be perfect. I can't have the custor feeling tight or uncomfortable."
"Co on, raise your arms."
Lu Li obediently raised his arms and felt Chiori's small, stocking-clad hands press against his body. Even through the fabric, he could feel their softness. The proprietress calmly began to asure his waist, which required her to lean in close, her hands wrapping around his abdon with the tape asure.
After asuring his waist, Chiori withdrew her hands. "You've gotten a lot thicker... not as skinny as before."
"That's not fat, that's muscle," Lu Li said helplessly.
"You're right. The abs are quite hard," Chiori nodded, poking his firm stomach.
Then, she knelt down. It was ti to asure his thighs to determine the proper size for the trousers.
But at that mont, looking down at Chiori kneeling before him, Lu Li felt a strange desire well up inside him...
