Chapter 31: Magical Girl

Along City Center Avenue, a ready-to-wear store called "Magical Girl".

This shop was located in a busy area. The decoration was gorgeous and elegant, and all kinds of clothes that made a girl's heart sway were hung in the window. Dressing mirrors on the floor were actually magical, such that it showed a girl her most beautiful appearance.

"This is the best ready-to-wear store in Moses City. We create the most beautiful appearance for all girls. From the color of each hair down to the selection of ankle rings, we can provide you with the service that best meets your requirement. As long as you walk into No. 5 Champs Elysees Street, City Center Avenue, you will see the magical transformation of a girl."

While Sally was behind him holding a beautiful card and reading it, Tang Qi had already pushed open the shop door made of glass and fine wood.

Ring! Ring!

With the crisp and sweet ringtones, Tang Qi and Sally saw the layout of the store.

In addition to those dazzling clothes and various accessories, the most striking was undoubtedly the beautifully crafted mirrors and fitting rooms in very classic styles. After just a glance, Tang Qi couldn't help but make a sigh of admiration inside.

After all, having experienced the explosive fashion trends on Earth from his previous life, Tang Qi's aesthetic sense was not necessarily very good but easily superior to the level of the Origin Blue Star.

But now, Tang Qi looked at this shop but couldn't give any criticism.

A shop that combined an exquisite classical taste with girly gorgeousness! Tang Qi commented silently in his mind.

At this time, he was not surprised that this shop was notoriously famous in the high society of Moses.

Of course, if this was not the case, Tang Qi would not have brought Sally here.

The gift he wanted to give this simple, sweet girl was a transformation service.

With his now sharp eyes, he naturally saw that Sally's own physical form was not bad at all, and the reason that she became the object of bullying by those mean girls, besides the name of "Unlucky Sally", was her provincial and cowering image.

Boys would be reluctant to approach her because of her looks, and mean girls would very much want to bully her. This made her an easy object of bullying.

Although Tang Qi was very confident in his own aesthetics, it was nevertheless inappropriate for him to personally involve himself in the job of creating a new image for a girl.

So it was natural that they came here.

Though Sally didn't belong to high society, nor could she possibly discuss fashion with other young girls, she had heard of the name "Magical Girl" in passing.

Coupled with the introduction on the card, the young girl thought to herself: the service would be very good here, and the charges would also be terrible.

"Tang Qi, maybe it's alright."

Sally grabbed the corner of Tang Qi's clothes and plucked up the courage to say.

But Tang Qi had already brought the girl here; there was naturally no way he would abandon his mission halfway.

Tang Qi smiled slightly at the girl and helped calm her down somewhat with his gentle look.

As a ready-to-wear store most loved by the noble ladies of the upper class, there were naturally many beautiful girls here. Each of them was beautiful and fashionable, full of flower-like beauty and youthfulness.

In contrast, Sally looked like an ugly duckling.

If it weren't for Tang Qi standing in front of her, the girl might have run away.

At this juncture, a person in service approached them.

Surprisingly, it was not a young and beautiful girl who received them, but a very kind-looking old lady.

The old lady looked very well-groomed. Although she was wearing a uniform, there was a sense of grace on her. Although she had a lot of wrinkles on her face, judging from her ruddy complexion and still-exquisite facial features, this old woman must have been a beauty when she was young.

The old woman came over and smiled at Tang Qi and Sally. "Two little guests, how can I help you?"

Tang Qi glanced at the nameplate on the chest of the old woman, and without caring too much about the title "Store Manager", he smiled back and pulled Sally who was behind him over, saying, "Mrs. Hudson, this young lady needs your help. She needs some external changes to make her more confident."

As Tang Qi spoke, Mrs. Hudson set her eyes on Sally.

Her judgment was naturally even sharper than Tang Qi's.

Almost immediately, Mrs. Hudson's eyes lit up. Rejoiced, she took Sally's palm, and a gentle voice that made one relax came into her ears.

"What a pretty little girl. Looking at you reminds this old woman of me when I was young. I was just as innocent and lovable, but Ms. Hudson back then didn't have such good luck as you, to be guarded by a little gentleman."

"Come, lucky little girl. Relax a bit. You are my magical girl now."

On the skills of dealing with young girls, this Mrs. Hudson could obviously well surpass Tang Qi.

Sally, who was very nervous just one second ago, soon walked into one of the separated fitting rooms following the old lady.

Tang Qi also followed while smiling. This was another special feature of this shop.

The layout was surprisingly big. Every guest would have their own separate fitting rooms. Inside, it was like a small living room. There were an actual fitting room and a space for guests and friends to chat and eat desserts, with a complete set of seats, sofas, and the like.

With the experience from his past life on Earth, of course Tang Qi wouldn't stupidly wait for Sally's new appearance. Instead, he went straight to a small sofa, sat down, took out Monster Archives, and started reading.

For others, the book was filled with ridiculous and lengthy content. But for Tang Qi, it held a great appeal. The bulk of the Archive's contents were related to those 12 saints and the various monsters killed by them.

These were what Tang Qi was the most interested in.

Soon he was immersed in it.

After an unknown period of time, Tang Qi had just finished a page about the Confessor Martin Simons killing the double-headed demonic eagle on top of Mount Black Sand. Right at this moment, the exquisitely patterned door that had not opened ever since it closed suddenly creaked open.

When Tang Qi subconsciously looked up, an incredible figure came into his eyes at this moment.

Sally was moving carefully on a pair of high heels.

Her head hung down slightly, and it seemed that she didn't realize how much she had changed at all.

The messy blond hair, after Mrs. Hudson had used some unknown method on it, turned into soft wisps of hair that loosely hung down. With a wreath of flowers on her head, her almost perfect face was fully revealed.

The loose sweater and trousers were all gone. Replacing them was a fairy-like golden and white gauze dress. Under the soft, thin gauze, her skin, so white it was almost shiny, was vaguely visible.

Seemingly too shy, the trace of a blush gradually covered her cheeks and pair of crystal-like earlobes.

As picky as Tang Qi was, he could only express marvel at this moment.

He was sure that if Sally entered Holy Thorns High School at this moment, the whole high school would boil up, and the cheerleader Angela, who was also a blonde, might go mad from jealousy.

Hudson, who walked behind Sally, was also very satisfied, but her inherently critical professional attitude prevented her from ending her work immediately. Instead, she first helped Sally to the huge floor-mounted fitting mirror.

When Sally plucked up the courage to look up, preparing to appreciate her brand new self, Mrs. Hudson lifted her hand towards the exaggerated black-framed spectacles on Sally's face, seemingly going to help Sally remove the glasses to finish up the final touch of the transformation.

Those black-framed spectacles were indeed the last obstacle.

Once removed, Tang Qi could imagine that an almost elven girl would appear in front of him.

Yet, he didn't know why that when Tang Qi watched Mrs. Hudson's movement, his head suddenly started rumbling loudly, like it was about to explode. His hairs stood up, and his scalp tingled. A strong sense of foreboding that he had never felt before surged madly inside him at this moment.

"Wait"

"Ah~"

When Tang Qi's words to stop her had just started, the black-framed glasses were already taken off by Mrs. Hudson.

Ring!

Abrupt changes happened instantly.

Tang Qi stared back at Sally, or more accurately, Sally's reflection in the mirror.
