Went to talk to the driver. Well, Marionette was the one that went to talk to him. Lillian just stood to the side, looking at the humongous mall. It looked like a typical modern-day mall.
This mall's na was Baron Mall — as the na may suggest, it was founded by a baron.
Crowds of people leaving and entering. Be it from a higher-class family or just a common one, they all had the sa purpose in coming here.
"Lilly..."
Lillian felt sothing slip under her right arm. She looked to the side, finding Marionette linking arms with her.
"Lewis will be waiting for us in the car park—" She watched as Lillian's head slightly tilted to the side, confused. She stared blankly at her before saying, "Lewis is my driver."
"Oh..." Lillian's lips shaped into an 'o'.
Marionette nodded and continued.
"He's willing to wait the entire day, so..." Marionette winked at her, "We can take as long as we want~..."
"... W-why did you wink?" Lillian asked, suspicious of her.
She swore Marionette had only just begun winking at her. Did she just learn this? Or... Was she just underestimating her knowledge too much now?
Marionette tilted her head, cutely, "Who knows~... Now then, let's head on in." She tugged at her arm.
Once entering through the automatic double doors...
Swoosh...!
They were imdiately blasted with a faceful of cool air and an overwhelming number of stores displayed across both sides.
Stores that sold desserts, devices, food, services, clothing, and such.
Lillian rubbed her chin in anticipation, turning her attention to Marionette, who blankly glanced around — her gaze looking over the countless people in the store.
Lillian watched as Marionette's face briefly expressed a face of repulsion. She also watched as the Assassin covered her nose.
The Rabbit raised an eyebrow.
"Are you alright, Mari? Are you... Feeling unwell?"
Marionette turned to Lillian, then lowered her hand. She stared at the girl's neck. She then turned away and said:
"Yes. Let's just begin our date."
The first place they stopped by was a clothing store.
Marionette stood outside of a dressing booth, staring at the red curtains that hid Lillian behind. Although it was hard to tell, she was currently excited. She had just chosen a set of clothes for Lillian to try on.
"Are you having any difficulties putting them on, Lilly?" Marionette asked, trying not to sound impatient.
"I, uh... Nope!"
Swoosh...
Marionette watched as the curtains were pulled to the side. She stared as Lillian wore a tight-fitted black turtle neck tucked into high-rise trousers and a cropped white leather jacket.
Lillian pinched the turtle neck, "Turtle necks really do go with anything, huh?" She then turned her attention to Marionette and asked:
"So! What do you think?"
Marionette folded her arms, checking her out from top to bottom. She then gestured for her to give a twirl.
She watched as Lillian twisted her body around. Marionette's eyes lingered on the Rabbit's rear for a split second.
"Any good?"
Marionette nodded.
"It gives you a confident and elegant look. Truly fitting the personality of a stunning lady such as yourself, Lillian."
"E-eh?" Lillian froze, surprised by Marionette's words. She turned her face slightly to the side, scratching her cheek a bit, "T-thanks... I'll try on the next ones, then."
Swoosh...
Marionette as she closed the curtains, smiling a bit as she held out her phone, texting soone.
[: It worked.]
[Vellen: Aye~ nice work! Keep it up and try not to do anything dumb again]
The person she was speaking to was ultimately Millis, who was quite well-versed when it cos to these sorts of things. She had... Also went to speak with her the day before her date to ask for advice.
While she did get what she wanted... She was also scolded by the sa woman.

"Ya really just can't leave hickeys on the poor gal!" Millis yelled with exaggerated movents. "Especially, not telling them about it!"
Marionette rolled her eyes. The two of them were currently seated on one of the many benches across the Academy Realm.
"What's wrong with leaving my mark on what's belongings?" She folded her arms, "It's like leaving your na on your items just to let people know whom to bring it back to."
"T-that's not the sa!" Millis yelled, wide-eyed before facepalming, "Ya still don't see the problem?"
She rubbed the gaps between her brows, "Alright... Look, red eyes... Clearly ya don't see what the problem is, no matter how many tis it's hamred into ya skull."
"Rude—"
Millis cut her off.
"So how about I put it like this then?" Millis raised her finger at her, "If ya don't hold your horny ass back, ya might be denied the luxury of getting to hit."
"..."
Marionette tilted her head, perplexed.
"Hit...?" She repeated slowly, "What does that an in this context?" She then narrowed her eyes, "You're not asking to hurt Lillian, are you?"
"W-wha... N-no, of course not!" Millis then raised her other hand, curling her index and thumb, making it so they ford a circle before pushing the finger of her other hand through it.
"This!"
"..." Marionette stared at the inappropriate gesture. She then covered the lower half of her face, falling into a deep thought. She then muttered, "That's indeed a problem..."
"Exactly! So, after ya finally start dating—" Millis turned her face to the side, quietly whispering, "Even though you guys pretty much are..." She turned her face back, "Just try and not ss up or do anything dumb that could get you on her bad side."
She grinned teasingly, "We both wouldn't want that now, would we?"
Marionette stared silently at her before nodding, "Yes. You're correct."
***
Marionette continued to stare at the curtains, having just watched Lillian put on a few clothes she had selected already. She then looked at the pile of clothes beside her. These were clothes Lillian had selected just for her.
"Alright, Mari! Your turn in here."
