Miyuchan lands in a dangerous world!
“It’s not that I don’t want to tell you, more like…Well, you probably wouldn’t believe it,” Miyuki said, shrugging. She looked down at her clothing at the mention of it. It was supposed to be for when she was performing, and it was tailored to the fans…Which usually meant it was tight fitting and slightly skimpy. It didn’t take her long to realise what aura she was giving up dressed like that. “Ah, of cour-“ She stopped just before activating the system that would change her uniform back into her casual clothing. ‘It…probably wouldn’t be the smartest thing to do in the open here, where it seems as though technology is quite scarce. I might get caught as a witch or something’, Miyuki thought, thinking about how her clothing usually shimmered and changed by itself when she activated the internal system of it.
"Well, I’d have to go somewhere private to change,” Miyuki said hesitantly. “Y’know, a girl doesn’t just strip in the middle of the road.“
Alberio’s eye began to slightly twitch at the statement. ‘Did she actually think that I intended for her to change right in the open? Just what kind of person does the believe me to be?’ Putting on a smile, to make her feel better, Alberio held out a couple of silver coins to the young woman, “Here, this should be enough to afford you some new clothing.”
The coins clinked together, as he placed them in her palm. While silver was not worth as much as gold, they were still quite valuable, and she could obtain at least three different outfits, should she spend the money wisely.
“Now, if you would allow me, I shall show you to the marketplace.” He held out his hand in the direction that she needed to head, offering for her to step forward first.
Miyuki stared at the coins in her hand, unsure what to do with them. On Akibastar, she had never needed to use coins - people paid digitally most of the time through e-currency. She wasn’t exactly sure what these coins could buy, but she was sure her e-currency card wouldn’t work on this world…But she didn’t really need the money, considering the effect of her outfit. ‘Should I hide the effect though, and dress normally?' Miyuki thought, worried. The garb on this planet was very different than what she was accustomed to, and although her outfit could change its form, it couldn’t change to whatever she wanted; only the presets that were already inputted.
She shrugged. 'May as well buy as he’s been so kind to offer,' she thought. 'After all, I’ll need to blend in as well as I can here…Ah!' She reached up and took off the heart-shaped hairpin that every 0048 member had, and pocketed it without a second thought. The hairpin minimised and compressed itself into a tiny bead, and slipped easily into her pocket - she did it subconsciously and in plain, and wasn’t aware that things just…changing forms like that wasn’t normal on planets like these.
“Alright, to the marketplace then!” Miyuki said brightly, heading in the direction that Alberio was pointing. “I’ll leave it to you to show you what I should buy to fit in here then, Mr…Uhhh…” She blinked. “I never got your name! I’m Takahashi Miyuki, by the way.”
