Looking at the two interfaces, Illustrious wondered which one to train first. Wait, why did she have to choose? She could train both!
Imagine if she were clashing swords with an enemy and suddenly launched a fireball. Wouldn't the enemy be completely dazed and at a loss? The thought was amusing to her.
It was late; she had to sleep too, or she'd have dark circles tomorrow. Speaking of which, she should take Aircraft Carrier to town tomorrow to buy some clothes. Always wearing Nagato's clothes wasn't quite... zZ
Early the next morning, Illustrious suggested to Aunt Fielan that they visit the nearest town to buy clothes for herself and Aircraft Carrier. Fielan recommended Sorgos Town, as it was the closest.
Fielan had farm work to do and couldn't go, but Nagato had been there a few times, so she let her daughter Nagato act as a guide.
Uncle Iks usually drove a carriage into town for supplies. Since he was going today, Fielan asked him to take the children.
After bringing them to town, Uncle Iks let them off and told them to be careful, saying they would meet at the town gate before sunset for the ride back.
Under Nagato's guidance, the two sisters soon entered the busy streets. The streets were crowded, lined with various shops, and vendors called out to passersby.
"Look here! Come and see! Fresh apples! Not crisp or sweet, no charge!"
"Dawn Divine Sword! Slay angels above, slay demons below! Only 10 silver coins each! Don't miss out!"
"Hey handsome, come play! It's very exciting."
Something strange seemed to have slipped in, but never mind. Looking at the bright red apples, Illustrious said to Aircraft Carrier and Nagato, "Do you want some apples? If you do, I'll buy a few pounds."
"Apples! They look delicious! Aircraft Carrier wants some, Sister, buy them for me, please?" Aircraft Carrier pleaded, pulling Illustrious's hand.
"Illustrious sister, I want some too. Can you buy some for me?" Nagato said in a childish voice.
"Alright, alright! If you want them, Sister will buy them." Illustrious called to the vendor, "Boss, three pounds of apples, please."
"Oh, three cute customers! Sure, no problem! Uncle will pick the biggest and sweetest ones for you!" The apple uncle smiled.
After Illustrious paid, the three little lolis waited patiently outside for the apples to be bagged.
"Here you go, kids, three pounds of apples. Come again next time." Having received the money, the uncle quickly handed the bag to Illustrious.
Illustrious gave one to Aircraft Carrier and one to Nagato, then took one for herself. Mmm, so crisp and sweet! The three little lolis walked and ate happily, looking extremely cute.
"Nagato, I want to buy clothes for Aircraft Carrier and myself. Do you know which clothing store has the best-looking clothes?" Illustrious asked while eating.
Hearing this, Nagato quickly finished her apple and said, "I know one. Their clothes are very pretty and affordable, just a bit far."
"Distance doesn't matter. Nagato, lead the way!" Illustrious said with a smile.
"Okay, Illustrious sister."
Nagato led them through the streets and alleys. They passed many shops, but when they passed one particular shop, Illustrious noticed many cages and stopped.
Seeing Illustrious stop and look at the shop, Nagato told her it was a slave shop that specialized in selling slaves.
The slaves in the cages were of many races—beastmen, dwarves, elves. Each cage held two or three slaves, all with their heads bowed and dim eyes, feeling lost about their future.
Looking at them, Illustrious thought that if she and Aircraft Carrier hadn't escaped by chance, they might have been locked in there waiting for a buyer.
With good luck, they might meet a kind noble buyer and become maids. With bad luck, they might be bought by some perverted man as tools for his desires.
"Sister, they are so pitiful. Can we help them?" Perhaps moved by the scene, Aircraft Carrier remembered her own experience. She pulled Illustrious's hand, wanting her to help.
"I'm sorry, Aircraft Carrier. Sister has no way to save them. But I promise, I will never let you become like them." Illustrious looked bitterly at the slaves. She could only hope they met a good buyer.
"Is there nothing we can do? I'm sorry, Sister, it's my fault for being too willful and putting you in a difficult position." When Aircraft Carrier saw Illustrious's troubled expression, she knew the matter would be hard to accomplish, so she apologized.
Nagato saw that Illustrious and Aircraft Carrier looked unhappy and thought they were recalling their time as slaves. To prevent their mood from worsening, she forced a smile and said, "Let's keep going! We'll reach the clothing store I mentioned soon!"
Hearing Nagato's words, Illustrious also felt that staying here wouldn't accomplish anything, so they might as well leave. She nodded in agreement, saying, "Alright! Come on, Aircraft Carrier, let's continue."
"Wait, Sister, I found Belfast! She's locked up in that cage!" Aircraft Carrier shouted loudly.
