After they had decided to pick up clothes for Sara, the three of them walked toward the nearby department store in Osaka.
Along with the Seven Stars Sword Art Festival, the number of tourists in this city increased substantially, especially this year when the Crimson Princess and the Sakra were at this event.
"There are so many tourists..." Stella was speechless.
"It's hot..." Sara felt the heat almost melt her.
"Do you want to take a car?" Tsukasa asked.
"Car? Where do we get one? Rental? Or borrowed from someone else?" Stella asked.
He didn't answer and released his cubic before shaping it into the shape of a black Range Rover.
"Come in."
"...." Stella and Sara realized how convenient this guy's ability was.
Without hesitation, the three entered the car and smoothly walked away from the hotel toward the nearby department store. Their trip was quite smooth, and it was quite merry, especially when they were curious about his ability.
However, when they arrived at the department store, he couldn't help but remind them.
"Stella, Sara, before we leave, there's something that I need to remind you of."
"What?" 2x
"I am popular."
"....." 2x
"Not only me but you two are also "very" popular." He then pointed at the crowd outside and said, "What do you think will happen if we go out like this?" He hoped they could understand his worry, but it seemed he expected too much from them since they weren't good in their heads.
"What will happen?" 2x
"We will be surrounded."
"........"
He didn't like it since he was so popular. He only realized that his social media notifications kept blinking since there were so many people who followed him.
While he didn't use social media, Kagami Kusakabe helped him to manage his social media and all business related to his portrait rights.
Even though he didn't know anything, he knew that money kept entering his bank account. He didn't count how many of them now, but hearing Kagami's excited voice, he knew that the number was a lot.
However, this also gave him a disadvantage since if he walked out, he would be surrounded by many people, especially females. He saw how they were like animals in the heat and jumped into him, wanting him to impregnate them.
While he didn't mind their excitement, he hoped they could see the place and occasion.
On the other hand, the popularity of Stella and Sara also didn't lose to him. While their popularity was lower than his, if the three of them gathered together, they would become the center of attention.
By then, it would be impossible for them to go out, and they also couldn't even walk out of the hotel.
Hearing this, they also fell into silence.
"Then, how do we get out?"
"We can use Trackless Steps to get out, but I am not sure about you." He looked at Sara since he wasn't sure about her power.
"You don't need to worry. I can do this."
Sara summoned her palette, and suddenly, a gray color enveloped her body, turning her invisible.
"That's a good ability."
He had to say that Sara's ability was powerful, especially in terms of versatility.
"By the way, there's something that I want to try, and this place might be a good place to do that."
"What are you going to do?" He looked at Stella weirdly.
"You don't need to worry. Just watch. I will show you later." Stella somehow felt fired up when she heard how Sara and Tsukasa could walk out among this crowd easily without being noticed, and she also wanted to do the same. "Can we get out now?"
"Okay."
He was also quite curious about what Stella was going to do. He told them that it was alright for them to get out and told them to meet at the entrance of the department store.
They agreed and used their own method to walk out from the crowd.
"Stone Gray of the Roadside."
Sara used her ability to paint herself with a gray color, making her unnoticed like a stone at a roadside, effectively turning her invisible.
On the other hand, Stella was more outrageous.
"Flame Veil!"
Stella used her ability to refract light from the heat, making her able to hide her presence.
"......."
Tsukasa realized that as long as they thought of something, they should be able to develop any abilities they wanted to, which made him speechless. However, it was all good since they were alright.
He also didn't waste his time and released his car before he walked among the crowd unnoticed. He slipped into their unconscious, making it hard for everyone in this place to perceive his existence.
If Edelweiss could do this, then why shouldn't he?
The three walked unnoticed by the crowd before they met each other at the entrance of the department store, and by then, they were safe since not many people would do a crazy thing inside the department store.
"So what should we do now?" Stella looked at Tsukasa.
"Aren't we going to buy her clothes?" Tsukasa pointed at Sara, who seemed lifeless.
"Yeah, but what kind of clothes?" Stella was confused.
"Clothes that are lighter than a brush?"
"....what kind of clothes is that?" Stella murmured, complaining. "Well, come on! Let's get you new clothes." She wasn't sure what kind of clothes were suitable for Sara, but the department store was rather massive, so there should be clothes that were suitable for Sara.
While Sara didn't want to do it, she followed Stella. No, she was being forced to follow.
On the other hand, Tsukasa decided to take a break and looked around since it had been a while since he visited Osaka. There were many foods that he wanted to try. However, while he seemed relaxed, he wondered what his opponents were going to do.
Stella aside, he was looking forward to his tomorrow's match, and by then, he would erase this factor that threatened the people he cared about. He had had enough of playing around with this clown and thought it was time to end him.
Still, before that, he decided to wait to see how Sara would appear in her new clothes.
"Ugh... it's too heavy..."
Sara moaned in the changing room.
"What? Is it still too heavy for you?" Stella was lost for words, but what could she do? She was helpless, but it was impossible for her to give up so easily. "Wait here! I will search for clothes for you."
Stella left him alone with Sara.
"Sit here first. You need to rest with your weak body."
"Okay."
Sara wasn't sure why, but she felt giddy when she sat beside him.
"You know, I have wanted to ask you this before, but you're so obsessed with me? Why do you want me to become your nude model?"
He needed to know the reason since he had to say this young woman's obsession with him was too scary.
