Chapter 17: Akira Uses {Lust Manipulation}

"This should be the place," said Akira, looking at a fancy clothing store with an ocean painting with some unintelligible words on it.

Akira and the group arrive at the Blue Ocean Store after getting an exact description of the route from the hotel owner.

"Welcome to the Blue Ocean Store" - the maid greeted them as they entered, bowing.

"How can I help you, dear customers?" - asked the operator with a professional smile.

"We want 3 formal suits and 2 occasion dresses for a formal dinner" - Akira answered the clerk's question because everyone had decided what kind of clothes they wanted to wear before arriving at the store.

"Come this way, dear customer," said the worker, as she led the way to the formal wear department.

"Our store prides itself on the wide variety of clothes and I guarantee that the respected customers will leave satisfied with our store" - said the worker with some pride as she walked to the formal wear section.

"Then what kind do you prefer?" - asked the worker, looking at Akira's collection after reaching the formal wear department.

"Thank you, but she will choose everything for us," said Akira, pointing to Asuna.

It was true that Asuna would choose their clothes.

Akira, Rimuru and Shin didn't understand clothes and were wearing anything but Asuna was different as the young lady of the Yuki family and as a girl who had a good sense of fashion.

That's why everything was left to Asuna to choose.

"Thank you for guiding us, and we'll help you if we need anything," Asuna said with a smile towards the maid after hearing Akira's words.

"Well, take your time, dear customer," - the worker returned a smile and bowed to everyone treacherously.

After the worker left, Asuna began to carefully and carefully watch the suit of different types and times.

"..." - the others stood silently waiting for Asuna to finish choosing the suits for them.

after several hours.

"Finally this hell is over" - Rimuru muttered and Akira and Shin couldn't help but agree with Rimuru's complaint.

Everyone was forced to try out more than a hundred suits in a few hours and were brain drained.

In the end, Akira and Shin bought a black tuxedo with an extra inner jacket, while Rimuru bought a tailored tuxedo for him, in addition to a black kangaroo that matches the suit.

Asuna, she bought a black evening dress with a mermaid cut, with a red bow, in addition to high-heeled sandals.

As for Alpha, she bought a white dress with floral print (black) with flounced sleeves and an overlapping collar net.

After buying everything, everyone quickly returned to the hotel to change their clothes. It was almost time for dinner with Baron Kagino's family.

"Dear customer, there is someone who would like to meet you" - Akira, Shin and Rimuru heard the hotel owner's voice outside their room.

"..." - Everyone looked at each other in silence and confusion, then got up and opened the door.

Akira was wearing a black tuxedo, a red tie, and a black leather jacket.

"Who are you?" - Akira asked after seeing the hotel owner with a well-dressed old man.

"Nice to meet you. My name is Baron Kagino's servant Pete," Pete introduced himself, bowing elegantly to Akira. "I have been given the task of delivering guests to the palace."

"Thank you for your efforts, please wait a bit" - said Akira and entered the room again and told Shin and Rimuru about Pete's arrival.

Then he went out and found that Pete was not in front of the door, which means he went to the carriage first.

"Asuna, a carriage from Baron Kagino's family has arrived to take us to the palace," Akira knocked on the door and shouted at Asuna.

"Well, I'm coming right away." - Akira heard Asuna's voice and the sound of footsteps approaching the door.

"Sorry I'm late" - Asuna apologized for being late, but felt a bit strange when she didn't get any reply from Akira, which made her look at him to see what was wrong with him.

"..." - Akira looked at Asuna in astonishment and couldn't take his eyes off her.

Asuna was currently very pretty in a black dress that showed off her graceful curves well and her beautiful chestnut hair flowing freely down her back.

Seeing her protruding chest and elastic ass, Akira felt blood rush to his head, but fortunately, he summoned all his remaining rationality and activated his skill 'Manipulating Lust', reducing his lust to zero in an instant.

"..." - Asuna looked at Akira's indifferent face with a red face because even though Akira had suppressed his lust, Asuna could sense it from his hot gaze earlier.

"Let's go now," said Akira, playing the fool and pretending not to see the blush on Asuna's face because he knew the reason.
