Grand Bazaar

After making out of their way from the plaza, Ranata is led by Althea and Lumina to the commercial district. With the ladies in front, they walked for around 10 minutes to the west side of the town. After arriving there, they see some people busy with their work, decorating the street with colorful fabrics, ribbons and lanterns. Seeing that, Ranata asked the ladies,

"Hm? Everyone seems so busy. Like there will be a festival or some kind of event. What's up?"

The one who answered him with a bright smile on her face is Althea.

"Oh, that? Well, since now is midsummer, there will be many events this month. There is a Grand Bazaar from yesterday which lasts for a week and then a festival celebrating the night of midsummer will be held starting tomorrow, which also lasts for a week. There will be stands selling various delicacies and local stuffs lining up along the road in the commercial district. As the opening and closing ceremonies, some mage will perform their fire magic to shoot fireworks which brighten the midsummer night with various colors. That's a very wonderful event held by humans in this place."

Seeing how cheerful she is, it's clear that she is enjoying that event very much and passionately anticipating it. Side by side with her, Lumina also gives out her smile. Seems she is also eager to attend that festival.

"Hoooo... So it's like a Natsu Matsuri back in my place..." – Ranata

"Natsu Matsuri? What's that, Master?" – Lumina

"Oh, it's Summer Night Festival. There is also a night market where they sell various stuffs and fireworks shooting through the sky. Although that matsuri only lasted for one night.... So in here it's lasted for a week? That's good." – Ranata

"Eeeeehhhhh~? A festival which only lasted for a night? That's so quick. How can people immersed in it's joy if it only lasted for such a sort time?" – Althea

"Actually, it's because it's only there for a short moment that makes that very moment become very precious." – Ranata

"Oh, that's a new way to see it. As expected of Master. You enlighten us on a brand new perspective again." – Lumina

"Haha. But I am glad that we can enjoy this for a week. Yes, it's decided. For tomorrow, let's have leisure in the day and attend the festival in the night!" – Ranata

"Yay, You are the best, Master! Thank you!" – Althea

"But before that, let's buy some clothes for you first. We also need to wear something good for tomorrow night. Ah, here is the best shop around here." – Lumina

Arriving at the front of a big shop with colorful ribbons adorning the frame of its double door, Althea and Lumina opened the door on the left and right together and gesturing their Master to come inside. After entering, they are welcomed by a female attendant and the shop owner who come later after seeing them. After exchanging their greetings, Althea and Lumina introduced Ranata as their Master and asked them to show the finest clothes in this shop, both for daily wear and for the event tomorrow. There is a very wide selection of clothes in this shop. From western styled tuxedo to the Chinese style cheongsam, it can be said that all types of clothes that exists in his previous world can be found on this shop. It truly is the best shop.

In the end, Ranata bought seven sets of clothes (and men's underwear) for daily use and a set of kimono-like garment in dark purple color with bluish white flower pattern for tomorrow night. The reaction and expression on the face of the attendants and the shop owner when they know that this extraordinary beautiful person who is claimed by the Two Goddess as their Master is actually a man and not a woman is very amusing and priceless. Ranata is enjoying it very much.

As for Althea and Lumina, after seeing that their Master liking the eastern style clothes very much, they each choose a cheongsam and a kimono to wear. Althea bought a crimson high slit cheongsam with white lining while Lumina choose a blue sky colored cheongsam also with white lining. As for the kimono which they will wear tomorrow, Althea choose a gold colored kimono matching the color of her blonde hair with bright red flower pattern matching her red eyes. And Lumina choose a silver white colored kimono which matching her silvery white long hair with flower pattern in blue color, which also matching the color of her eyes which is like a clear blue bright sky.

After paying the clothes and putting them in their storage, Ranata borrowed a changing room to wear one of his newly bought clothes. He chooses a simple blue and white robe. After casting Purify from the Holy Magic skill set to cleanse it and then wearing it, he put his old clothes back in his storage and then get out from the shop with Althea and Lumina.

They then asked him.

"Where will we go next, Master? Do you have any other place you want to visit?" – Althea

"Master said that you want to buy daily necessities.... But, I think we already have all we needed? We already have kitchenware and any other daily household items we need in our house. Do you need anything in particular?" – Lumina

"I am interested in the Grand Bazaar you mentioned earlier. Surely there will be a lot of varieties sold in there? Let's go there to sight seeing first." - Ranata

"Grand Bazaar, is it? Okay~ Let's go there. It's nearby." – Althea

After walking straight for 5 minutes, they arrived in another plaza. It's different than the plaza near the Adventurer Guild. This plaza is very wide and filled with many stands. Various stuffs can be seen exhibited by the vendors, and roars from hawkers can be heard here and there. Walking together slowly while enjoying the view, Ranata didn't forget to ask Celeste to give him information about various items which catching his sight, mainly some weapons, magic items, accessories, potions and alchemical reagents, to some random stuff like monster material and gemstones.

As the three beauties walks together, it's inevitable that they attract attention and soon, everyone's eyes in here is looking at them. Regarding this, they pay it no heed. Ranata also has become accustomed to be immersed like this in public eyes, although he still enjoyed it too. A smug smile can be seen on his face as he walk in the middle of two beauties, Althea on his left and Lumina on his right, while his eyes is scanning the items sold by the peddlers and his brain processing the information provided by Celeste.
