CHAPTER 75: SHOPPING

The class soon ended and Yuki, Sakura, Hana, and Kaori came to invite me to go shopping, the heroes are paid by the country just for existing, what a privilege.

"I’ll go but I’ll take Amiya with me too," I say while holding Riko, I’ve always hated the fact that my maids wear a ton of cute clothes on me, I need someone to go through the same suffering.

And the target will be Amiya, who has a cute appearance.

"I’ll go too since my rival is going," Celeste butts in, soon we all agree, it’s getting dark, but luckily most of the stores around the academy have night hours.

Soon we all meet in front of the academy, I’m wearing a dark navy blue dress with black and purple details.

Everyone is dressed in casual styles similar to mine but in different colors, it’s probably some famous brand, another important thing about me going shopping.

’I have to throw away my panties’ Almost all of my panties have cute prints, I urgently need to throw them away and buy new ones, it’s such a pain that I have to wear that.

Also, strangely, I’m sure two of my panties have gone missing, I’m not the type to forget things, I may not remember at the exact moment but without a doubt I know I had exactly 150 panties and now I only have 148.

"Here guys, this is the store I told you about," Kaori says excitedly while pointing to a large store.

Celeste and I brought our maids, Shogo seems enchanted as she looks at the store.

We soon enter, the first thing I do is go to a sales associate and speak to her.

"Listen up, I want 150 pure panties without any kind of print, varied colors between white, black and gray, understand?" She immediately takes me to a spot while the others look around the store.

She starts taking my measurements and soon hands me a size chart, I’m relieved that she’s giving me a chart because I have no idea how the sizing for girls works.

Classification Bust (cm) Waist (cm) Hips (cm)

Extra Small 75/55/80

Small 75–80/55–60/80–85

Medium 81–90/61–70/86–95

Large 91–100/71–80/96–105

Extra Large 100/80/105

"Here are your measurements, miss," the sales associate hands me a paper with my measurements.

’My measurements...Bust 75-77...Waist 59-61...Hips 84-86...’ I have no idea how it works, so I look at the chart to see.

’My bust is small...’ I guess it was imaginable to be like this.

’My waist is small to medium as well’ I have a very thin waist, so being at the beginning of medium is normal.

’My hips are small to medium...’ I don’t know why, but looking at this chart strangely makes me feel defeated as a woman.

"I’m a board..." I crumple the paper with this classification.

’Calm down, breathe deeply...I’ll still grow, I’m still a child, from what I’ve heard from my older sister, she also didn’t have very large proportions, and after she became an adult, she grew.’

I don’t know why I feel disappointed for being a board, I find that strange, it makes me look at the sales associate’s breasts, she has large breasts, a slim waist and wide hips.

In my case, the only advantage I have is the slim waist.

"M-Miss, p-please don’t look at me like that" My urge to kill becomes almost palpable, I’ve never noticed how I’m practically a board.

"I-I’ll get your o-order" The sales associate quickly leaves the area where I am, I stare at the classification with a blank expression.

’I can’t believe I’m so outraged by numbers...M-Mikael likes the small ones or the big ones?...m-maybe if I use my abilities?’ I can’t believe I’m considering using biological change just to grow a little.

I give up the idea, and it’s better to wait, I’ll trust Lilith, I’m a child, when I grow up, I know I’ll have good proportions, besides, just because I’m a board doesn’t mean I’m not beautiful.

I’m still a beauty.

I step out of the dressing room that now has a hole in the wall with a paper stuck in it, yes...I didn’t handle that very well.

"Hi Pandora, w-where were you?" Amiya asks.

"Amiya, am I a board?" I’m still unsettled by this, even knowing that I’ll grow up, it’s outrageous that I’m so...straight.

"No, of course not...well...maybe you’re a little small..."

"...Hey girls, Amiya wants us to teach her how to choose clothes, we have the whole night to test it out" I see the look of shock turn to despair on Amiya’s face as she tries to turn around, but runs into Celeste, who has a malicious smile.

Soon Celeste starts dragging Amiya, who tries to beg for my help.

"S-Sorry Pandora, p-please help, n-no, K-Kyaa help, don’t let them take me, I don’t want to spend hours changing clothes"

"Y-You’re not a board, y-you’re very beautiful l-like this, like r-really beautiful, p-please..." She tries to hold onto the walls as she’s dragged by Celeste.

’And so...Amiya disappeared forever...’ a good scene for a movie, I turn around and start looking at the clothes.

I don’t know what Celeste and the other girls are doing in that large dressing room, I just hope Amiya is suffering a lot.

"Even Amiya has bigger boobs..." I say while touching my breasts.

Soon I recover from this state of feminine disappointment and start choosing various dresses, I think I was affected by the shopping fever, I doubt I’ll wear half of what I’m taking.

Soon Shogo comes to me, I look at Shogo’s completely flat chest, this puts a smile on my face, I’m not completely flat, a victory for me.

I spend hours choosing and trying on different dresses while showing them to Shogo, occasionally I hear some pitiful sounds coming from the large dressing room.

"What do you think of this one, Shogo?" I say as I give a little twirl showing off a long red ballgown with a floor-length train.

"Mama" Shogo honestly evaluates, when it’s good, she gives a thumbs up and nods determinedly, and when it’s bad, she makes a Buu, buu, sound while shaking her head negatively.

"I think it’s good..." I bought about 20 dresses, along with the panties, I also bought some sexy panties and lingerie along with various sets of bras that come with panties.

I also bought some swimsuits just to be safe.

I walk over to the large dressing room that was being used in conjunction with the girls, I see Amiya in a cute golden dress with white ruffles.

She has completely lifeless eyes, reminds me of the first time my maids decided to test dresses on me.

"Hi Pandora...how do I look?" She asks in a lifeless and tired tone, making me laugh.

"Stunning" I respond to her.

"G-Good..." She tries to get up, only to be held back by Celeste and Kaori.

"Now wear this one, Amiya" Celeste puts a gothic Lolita dress in front of Amiya, I see tears about to form in Amiya’s eyes.

"O-Okay..."

’If I’m not mistaken, it’s been about 7 hours since we came for the shopping’ much longer than I expected, it also took me longer to recover from my problem than I thought.

Soon I see Amiya in the gothic Lolita outfit, her radiant golden hair provides a unique contrast.

"Hey, Amiya..." I call her, she looks at me with a little hope.

"Do a cute pose, like making a V-sign with your hands in front of your eyes while putting the other hand on your hips and leaning your hips to the other side" I say to shatter her hopes.

"...O-Okay..." She strikes the cute pose, causing most of them to burst into laughter, I wonder what Amiya is thinking, does she think all this is happening just because she didn’t say I’m not a board.

Although that really is the reason for her current suffering.

We continue like this for a few more hours, soon it’s 4 in the morning, Amiya doesn’t even respond anymore, she just does what she’s told like a toy, if I tell her to make a pose, she does it, and if I tell her to wear something, she puts it on without saying anything.

Her eyes are as if she has completely disconnected from the world, I had everything I bought sent to my room through the shadows.

"Well, girls, it was great, but we have to go back to the academy or we’ll be late" I never thought I’d have fun being with the heroes, but it wasn’t a bad day.

Soon we walk back, everyone bought a lot of things, but Celeste’s maid used magic to send them to the academy, Shogo was also sent to the academy through my shadows.

"Pandora, look over there" Hana calls me, soon the attention of everyone goes to an alley, I approach to try to get any visual information.

’Seems to be an academy student’ A badly mutilated body, a sight at least unpleasant for humans, although for me it seems quite normal, usually my live meals end up in worse states.

"Tsk" Celeste clicks her tongue.

"Any problem, Celeste?" I question.

"No, it’s just that these cases are common in the other classes, the weaker students are being killed by the Crescent Moon Hunter"

"...?"

"It’s just some asshole who likes to kill for no reason, in all recent cases, academy students are being found dead with multiple lacerations on their bodies"

"And inside the bodies, there’s always a metal object in the shape of a crescent moon, some say it’s a student at the academy doing this, but no one knows, after all, the killer has never been seen"

The other girls are all acting in different ways, Yuki seems scared, Kaori seems disgusted, Sakura seems disinterested, Hana seems interested, Celeste seems annoyed.

’He has good taste’ I like the work on these bodies, as someone who is a monster.

In addition, my brain is perfect for discovering patterns, I see that they are not just cuts, or random mutilations.

’Why is the killer leaving the church’s pattern like this? And why is the pattern being distorted in certain areas?’ I don’t understand the killer’s motivation to leave such a mark.

Clearly it’s the church’s coat of arms, but it’s distorted in certain areas, making it difficult to decipher, which is why they don’t notice that it’s the church’s coat of arms.

"I’ll call the school guards, anyway, this is a problem" Celeste says as we move away from the body.

Now I’m interested in knowing who the killer is who leaves this kind of clue.
