Magical Love: Learn To Love In Another World
Chapter 18
The store was filled with many clothes of the same type. Alissa was once again bringing clothes sets back and forth. In the end, I picked out a set of seven outfits and one set of armor. They were all the same style since there was not much to choose from for a girl when it came to clothes that were not dresses. I was quite happy with my selection. The colors ranged from white to hues of blue and even some black. I was never big on very colorful clothing, to begin with. But at least I felt more comfortable. Although I did need to wear a garter belt to keep my legging up. But at least I did not feel too exposed. The shorts were indeed short but they were not so short that it exposed anything beyond my thighs. With a white shirt and a thin white with blue trim long sleeve overcoat that only reached my waist, I was able to move much more freely.
"Rei, let''s go to the weapons shop and get you a sword." Able suddenly said. His gaze was as warm as the sun as he looked at me. But I kinda wished he would not look at me like that.
Although his love interest ranking on my screen had gone up to six, I still felt as if it was all just a passing moment for him. Eventually, he and Alissa will fall in love and that will be that. I might be numb to the things that deal with romance but I was not completely oblivious to it. With the way, Able had been looking at me as I tried on different clothes it was pretty obvious his expression was full of love for me. Don''t get me wrong, I felt touched but it was not along the lines of the game… I can only act as if I didn''t know so my heart won''t get hurt when things begin to fall in line. Though In a way I felt sad because Able was an excellent man. Although he was young now he grew up to be a man who was the head of the magic knights of the kingdom and was very upstanding and compassionate. If I could even find someone as good as him, that would love me and care for me deeply, I would be the happiest girl in the world. Maybe I can just enjoy the moment?
"Rei?"
My thoughts were broken when Able''s handsome face came close to mine. I blushed and quickly backed away a few steps before nodding my head. "Then, let''s do as you say. "
Able smiled and excitedly said. "Good we will find a sword that fits you well!"
Alissa looked at me then Able and a pout formed on her face. "No fair… you only picked the clothes that Able selected!"
It''s not that I did such a thing on purpose. It was mainly because everything Alissa brought over was a little too revealing… But I felt bad since she was trying to pick out something for me so I thought for a moment before saying: "Then how about picking out some hair accessories for me?"
As soon as I said this, Alissa ran over and hugged my arm. She seemed to be happy that I was willing to wear something she picked out. I of course choose accessories since there was no way they would make me look like a slut. Alissa had been very forthright with her feelings towards me which made me feel a little uncomfortable. At first, I just thought it was a passing moment for her but after watching her drool over the thought of me changing I realized just how accurate the system was. Sadly I could never return Alissa''s feelings but that did not mean I was not willing to be her friend. I figured eventually she would end up changing her target to Able or one of the other male leads as time passed by.
But as I thought about it I wondered what made Alissa begin to like me anyway. And that was when a scene came to mind from Magical Love. There was a scene where Alissa was in dire straights fighting two kidnappers when Able jumped off a building to come to her aide. It was then that she began to develop feelings for him. That meant… As I thought back to how I beat up the two kidnappers who Alissa was confronting at that time and let out a sigh. I seemed to have stolen Able''s event… On top of that, her interest grew even more when I tried to protect her from the fireball. "Life can be a pain..."
"Did you say something?" Alissa looked up at me from her arm hugging position.
"Ahh, nothing. Let''s go!" I said, pulling Alissa and Able along with me.
I would have to say one thing at this time is that I am very lucky to meet these two. They have really treated me kindly. Me who came to this world and inhabited this body was truly out of sorts when coming here. I figured I would have to fight tooth and nail inside the Baron estate, but thanks to meeting Able I am now free from that place. I guess I really should just enjoy the moment. Maybe I will understand what love is. Heartbreak is also part of love, right? I already know that Alissa and Able may fall for each other but he was not the only male lead. There may be a chance for me to be with Able in the end. But if things really do turn out how it does in the game and Alissa falls for Able then I will step aside and allow them to be together. Whether I get hurt or not. That is just how life is. It will be a good lesson for me and will bring me closer to knowing what love is.
At that moment I had no idea that in the future my love life would be more complicated than I could ever have imagined.
