Chapter 195: An Absolute Killer Combo!
"Hehe~ I'm glad to hear that! I love this outfit too, Asher." Scarlet giggled with excitement before twirling around once more, causing her long red locks to flow in the wind as her eyes lit up in pure happiness.
The way she laughed and smiled warmed Asher's heart as he sat on the couch admiring Scarlet's beauty without any hesitation whatsoever, which pleased her even more.
"That's not surprising, though... Considering that you chose the dress yourself and everything!" Asher replied with a wry smile on his lips before continuing in a joking tone. "I was expecting you to show me something outlandish, like an exotic costume or even a skimpy bikini!"
This caused the corners of Scarlet's mouth to twitch up a bit upon hearing this comment, showing signs of annoyance as she narrowed her eyes at Asher. "Hmph... You wanted to see me wear something like that, huh?
Well, too bad because you missed your chance to request something so embarrassing!" Scarlet huffed before folding her arms beneath her breasts and turning away from the grinning man with a pouty expression.
"Oh... But you didn't even ask me what kind of outfit I wanted you to wear." He retorted with a mischievous smile.
"Urk..." Scarlet's cheeks reddened, but she refused to give him a response this time around. Instead, she decided to change the subject by turning towards the changing booth where Cecil had disappeared earlier.
"Hey, Cecil! You still haven't finished wearing your outfit yet? Are you done or what?" She yelled toward the closed curtain while ignoring Asher altogether.
After several seconds passed without any answer from inside, Scarlet furrowed her brows in puzzlement before walking over to check on her friend, who appeared to be taking longer than normal to change clothes.
Upon arriving at the curtain, Scarlet pulled the curtains aside to peer within and found Cecil standing there, staring into the mirror with a shy expression on her face.
The sudden intrusion startled the dark-haired beauty, causing her to squeal in surprise as she jumped away from the mirror as if it had burned her skin.
"Ahhh!! Don't sneak up on people like that, Scarlet!!" She shrieked as her heart skipped a beat from shock, which made Scarlet chuckle at her reaction.
"Hahaha... Sorry about that, Cecil, but I thought you'd be finished already."
Cecil regained her composure soon enough before turning to face Asher with flushed cheeks, who had also come over to see what was wrong.
He raised an eyebrow as he scanned her with his eyes before nodding in approval. "Now this is what I call an absolute killer combo! You look ravishing in this sexy lingerie set, Cecil." He complimented her appearance without hesitation, earning a small blush from the beauty.
She was wearing a black bra with red lace trimming that emphasized her bust while revealing ample amounts of cleavage.
She also wore matching panties that had a heart-shaped hole cut out of them right around the area above her most intimate parts.
The ensemble was completed by the garter belt wrapped around Cecil's waist that held up black fishnet stockings, which drew attention to her long legs with a black high-heeled shoe that strapped around her ankle.
This kind of outfit highlighted all of Cecil's best features and brought out her sex appeal like nothing else ever could.
The sight was so breathtaking that Asher couldn't take his eyes off her for one second, finding it difficult to think about anything except how incredible Cecil looked wearing such a skimpy outfit.
He knew without a doubt that if he didn't control himself, he might end up doing something inappropriate, which would change their relationship forever.
"Thank you, Asher. But I'm not sure if I should wear this out..." she muttered with a hint of hesitation in her voice.
Before Asher could reply, Scarlet spoke up with a smile while looking at Cecil up and down. "Why? You look great in it! Asher was right. This kind of outfit is the perfect combination for your natural beauty."
Scarlet's praise seemed to help ease Cecil's worries, so she nodded in acknowledgment. However, she still wasn't convinced that she could always wear this kind of attire, despite enjoying the sensation of feeling sexy in a way she never had before.
That was when Asher spoke up. "Well, I suppose that's understandable since this is the first time you've worn something like this, Cecil. But don't worry about it so much and relax... Besides, it's not like anyone will be able to see underneath your outerwear anyway, so there shouldn't be a problem."
"Yes, Cecil. He's right about that! No need to fret so much, okay? There are lots of people who wear stuff like this under their clothing all the time. I'm pretty sure most girls do it nowadays, too." Scarlet agreed with Asher before adding in reassurance.
Their reassuring words seemed to put Cecil more at ease, who took another glance at her reflection and nodded with confidence.
"Okay, I will go with your suggestions."
"Great! Now let's find some more interesting outfits! I can't wait to see what other things we might find here." Scarlet exclaimed as she grabbed Cecil's hand and led her towards the racks of clothing that filled the store, while Asher watched them disappear amongst the rows of dresses with a satisfied smile on his face.
The girls tried on numerous pieces of clothing, ranging from cute dresses and skirts to elegant robes and ball gowns, each outfit accentuating their beauty more than the previous. Their eyes gleamed with excitement as they sorted through all the different choices available.
Each time one of them would pick up an outfit to show Asher, his reaction was always the same. He would give an approving nod before giving his honest opinion about whether or not the outfit suited them, which helped fuel the girls' enthusiasm even more as they kept on picking out various items from the store.
Eventually, they began modeling the clothes for him to see which ones work best together in terms of style and color coordination.
This way, they didn't even realize how much time they spent until a staff member came over to ask if they had found everything they wanted or whether they required assistance with their search.
At that moment, they realized that it was already evening when they looked out of the window to see the orange glow of the sunset covering the city.
Soon, Asher asked the gorgeous lady called Miss Rose to wrap their purchases for them, and they left the luxurious clothing store, walking through the streets of the busy shopping district.
It was the first time in years that Cecil had smiled this much. Her mind was reeling from the number of happy memories that flooded in with every second, bringing a smile to her face. Even though it was just a short outing with friends, she felt like there was a spring in her step, and her heart felt light as a feather.
It wasn't just Cecil, either. Scarlet had also been grinning since they started the trip. She felt elated that they were having such a fun time together after training for so long without any rest. This sense of freedom made her heart jump with joy.
And Asher, who looked at both of their happy expressions, felt a sense of satisfaction as he walked beside them with his hands on their waists, enjoying the comfortable silence between the three of them.
They could hear the hustle and bustle of the city around them and see people enjoying themselves as they walked down the street.
"I never thought that we could find such good-quality clothes there. And there were a lot of varieties, too," Scarlet said after several minutes had passed by, breaking the tranquility.
Cecil nodded her head in agreement before answering. "Yes, that place has everything we want and even more than what we expected."
"Indeed. We should visit there again soon," Scarlet suggested with a cheerful tone in her voice as she glanced towards Asher.
Upon hearing her words, Asher smiled as he commented, "I guess we could do that."
"Great! Next time we go there, we're buying more clothes for sure." Scarlet said, with excitement flashing in her eyes as she threw her hands in the air.
Cecil nodded in agreement with a small smile of delight and then returned her attention to the road ahead, where she saw a crowd heading in a certain direction.
"Hey, look! There are a lot of people heading in that direction." she said, pointing towards the throng of people ahead of them.
Scarlet followed her friend's line of sight before saying, "I wonder what's happening over there. Do you want to see?"
"Sure thing," Asher answered with a smile as he tightened his grip on both of their waists before following the crowd of people.
It didn't take them very long to reach the place and see that it was a large theater with colorful lights surrounding it.
The front had banners hanging down from the top proclaiming 'The Sword's Embrace: A Tale of Honor and Passion' in fancy lettering, which drew the attention of many passersby on the street.
It was a building where a play was being held on stage within and many were entering the place with great anticipation. Cecil looked towards Asher and asked for confirmation of her thoughts, "This is... a play?"
He nodded. "Yes. It seems to be quite popular among people too."
As if to prove his point further, more people kept pouring inside from different directions every second, as if it were some kind of event held once every year or something along those lines.
