Such outfits needed to be custom-made. With Roxy's figure, it was impossible to buy such a small maid outfit, and even if she did, her underdeveloped chest would make it look unflattering.
Thinking of this, Roa couldn't help but frown.
In his previous life, when he watched anime, he was curious and even did some research on it.
So, he wasn't completely clueless; in Roa's mind, besides the maid outfit, the Gothic Lolita style was also fitting.
Gothic Lolita clothing is primarily characterized by dark and melancholic styles, standing out in the realm of dark aesthetics. It features traditional European patterns like irises and lilies, enhanced with unique totems such as skulls, roses, thorns, runes, stars, demons, wings, and saints. This style is incredibly ornate, with garments typically in dark colors. However, if Roxy wanted to dress up, it wouldn't necessarily look that good.
He had seen an anime before where one of the girls wore this Gothic Lolita outfit, leaving a deep impression on Roa.
The innocent and naive smile no longer appeared, replaced by an inorganic gaze, a hollow expression, and an aura of mystery that was unapproachable and untouchable. It was as if she were a handcrafted porcelain doll from the court, exquisitely made but devoid of any breath of life.
This was how Roa felt about her.
Unfortunately, this outfit was not suitable for Roxy.
After all, this type of clothing was more suited for girls with typically blonde, black, white, or silver hair.
Roxy's hair was azure, and compared to the Gothic Lolita outfit, it was indeed more suitable for a maid outfit.
However, the current maid outfit was still somewhat monotonous.
Roa thought it would be nice to tie a white lace leg ring or something similar around her legs.
Of course, maid outfits are the best!!!
Without further ado, he decided to find a merchant to customize one, especially since he had some spare money on hand.
Custom-made items must be of good quality; it would probably cost a few gold coins, right?
After quickly tidying up the miscellaneous items in his room, he headed straight out of the palace.
Once outside the palace, he arrived at a complex street, took a brief look around, and asked a few passing adventurers if there were any places selling clothing.
After visiting a few relevant places, he found that the clothing was too conservative for his taste. In short, he was not satisfied; even when he inquired, they only said they had this type of clothing.
It wasn't until Roa found the last adventurer, who had a full beard and looked a bit like a monkey, that he got a lead. The adventurer was idly wandering around when he noticed Roa frowning and looking dejected. He raised an eyebrow and approached, asking, "Hey, kid, you seem to have something on your mind. Do you need my help?"
Roa glanced at him, feeling a bit helpless, and said, "I'm looking for a shop, but I can't find it. Oh, it's a clothing store, one that can customize clothes."
The adventurer chuckled, patted Roa on the shoulder, and smiled, "What kind of clothes do you want? Something casual or something else?"
Roa didn't mind the adventurer's actions and replied directly, "Both, I guess?"
"Oh, is that so?" The adventurer pondered for a moment before asking again, "What are your preferences in that regard?"
Roa fell into thought and then said, "Maid?"
Indeed, his purpose this time was to get a maid outfit.
The adventurer raised his eyebrows, patted Roa's shoulder more forcefully, and leaned in closer to whisper, "Indeed, maid outfits have been quite popular among young wealthy kids like you lately. You've come to the right person; I happen to have some free time. Let me take you to a fantastic shop!"
With that, the monkey-like adventurer led Roa in the direction of the shop.
The adventurer acted very familiar, directly putting his arm around Roa's shoulder, but since Roa was taller, it looked a bit awkward.
He smiled and said, "My name is Geese Nukadia; just call me Geese. What's your name?"
Roa looked at him, feeling that his expression was a bit strange, and nodded, "I'm Roa Greyrat; you can just call me Roa."
When Geese heard the name "Roa," he paused slightly, and his expression turned a bit odd as he scrutinized Roa. Curious about Geese's reaction, Roa asked, "What's wrong?"
Geese shook his head, acting nonchalant, "Nothing, just a bit surprised."
Roa asked in confusion, "Surprised?"
Then Roa also felt that Geese's face seemed somewhat familiar, but with such an unremarkable appearance, even if he were thrown into a crowd, he might not stand out.
In short, his appearance was quite mediocre.
Geese nodded, "Your surname reminds me of someone."
Roa followed his train of thought, "Someone?"
Geese nodded again, "Well, it's a guy named Paul. I really envy him; we were once members of the same adventuring team. Oh, by the way, don't let my appearance fool you; I'm an S-rank adventurer!"
With that, Geese put his hands on his hips, looking quite proud.
Roa raised an eyebrow. Since Geese claimed to know Paul and had worked in the same adventuring team, his identity was becoming clearer.
He had only thought Geese looked familiar without considering much, but now, through Geese's demeanor, he understood his identity.
A demon with a monkey-like face, the last survivor of the Nukadia clan. Although he was a demon, he had no combat ability and was one of the original members of the "Black Wolf's Fang," serving as a scout. He had managed to become an S-rank adventurer solely based on his non-combat skills.
Roa nodded slightly, responding with a casual "oh," not feeling particularly excited about encountering an old acquaintance or saying more just because Geese was a partner of Paul.
This reaction left Geese a bit taken aback.
However, this slight surprise made Roa feel alert.
Roa knew Geese because he had watched anime, but why did Geese seem to know him?
Did Paul tell him about him? That shouldn't be the case. Even if he had mentioned something, there would be no need to pretend to know him to test him; that would be too disingenuous.
The two continued walking, with Geese still chatting away, but unfortunately, Roa showed no interest in the topics Geese was discussing.
When they arrived at the clothing store that Geese had mentioned, he led Roa inside. The store was quite large, which was hard to imagine in such a remote area.
Inside, there were various types of clothing, but most were revealing outfits. However, judging by the material, most were made of silk. Even in this age of swords and magic, clothing made from silk was considered a luxury.
But luxury aside, Roa still had some money to spare.
He looked around and found the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper was a woman in her forties, with a pipe in her mouth. Although she was in her forties, she looked quite spirited. While her figure no longer had the slimness of youth, it was evident that she had been a beauty in her younger days.
In summary: she still had charm.
When the shopkeeper saw Geese, she raised an eyebrow and teased, "Oh, what brings you here again today?"
Geese smiled at the shopkeeper, pointed to Roa, and said, "Cut the small talk; today I brought you a big client."
The shopkeeper followed Geese's gaze and saw a handsome blonde boy.
Blonde hair is the most indicative of a person's temperament, especially for a boy like Roa, who had golden hair and golden eyes; he was truly captivating.
The shopkeeper's previously indifferent tone changed slightly, her eyes narrowing as she nodded, "Hmm, indeed, quite nice."
Geese patted Roa on the shoulder and said to the shopkeeper, "What do you have? Just name it!"
Roa nodded and said to the shopkeeper, "Um, I want a maid outfit about 1.45 meters tall, and as for the figure, just make it like a child's. By the way, do you have any ready-made ones?"
The shopkeeper showed a contemplative expression, her face looking a bit strange as she said, "Children's clothing? At that age, they would be around eleven or twelve years old, right? Well, although this question may seem abrupt, could you please tell me the measurements? After all, it's better to be precise when making these."
Roa thought for a moment, raised his hand to gesture, and finally sighed, "Can I just see the clothes?"
The shopkeeper nodded and led Roa to the rightmost wardrobe, where various maid outfits of different sizes were displayed.
Roa looked around and asked the shopkeeper, "Can I touch them?"
The shopkeeper waved her hand and blew a smoke ring, saying, "Since you're so good-looking, I'll let you touch them, but don't get them dirty."
After thanking the shopkeeper, Roa began to reach out and touch the outfits.
Memories of their intimate moments flooded his mind.
Roa's memory was always sharp; even if Roxy wasn't here, he could still recreate her body based on his memories.
After all, they had already had deep interactions, so this wasn't a problem.
Although he couldn't provide the exact measurements, he could get a feel for it by holding the fabric.
The black and white maid outfit was undoubtedly very beautiful.
The high-quality silk felt incredibly nice to the touch, and the dress combined with the white apron gave a very comfortable feeling.
Roa estimated that based on Roxy's height, this outfit would be just about right.
It just needed some adjustments in the details.
For example, the sleeves needed to be a bit longer, and although this outfit was meant for an eleven-year-old girl, sadly, Roxy's chest wasn't that large.
Well, although this was a sad fact, it was the reality.
After explaining all his requirements to the shopkeeper, she looked at him with a strange expression and asked, "Are you this little girl's brother?"
Noticing the shopkeeper's odd gaze, Roa quickly coughed, wanting to explain that she was actually his wife, which was why he was so familiar with her, but the words that came out were, "Okay, I'm her brother."
Well, saying it that way might lead to misunderstandings, right?
If the shopkeeper heard that, she might think Roa was a perverted loli fan, right?
After all, who would imagine a forty-something demon would look like a little girl?
But legal lolis are indeed appealing.
Then Roa glanced at the white stockings nearby and swallowed.
This was the essence of the maid outfit.
As the first patriarch of the White Stocking Holy Church, Roa believed that things like black stockings were heretical; throughout history, only white stockings stood at the pinnacle.
Of course, Roa had a broad mind; even if they were heretical, he would accept them with the benevolence of the goddess.
He picked up the white stockings and thought for a moment, saying to the shopkeeper, "These need to be a bit longer, just a bit longer, since her legs aren't that long."
However, Roa's comment made the shopkeeper's face show a look of suspicion.
She curiously asked, "How do you know her body so well?"
Roa was left speechless, unable to respond.
Fortunately, the shopkeeper didn't press further; she just casually asked. Seeing that Roa had no intention of answering, she walked to the counter with the items.
The shopkeeper said to Roa, "Since it's custom-made, the price will be a bit higher, but the quality is guaranteed. So, including labor, it will be two gold coins?"
Two gold coins for a piece of clothing could indeed be described as luxurious, but considering where they were, it wasn't too surprising.
Compared to the Asura Kingdom, which had a complete system, this country was clearly more chaotic.
Moreover, with adventurers all around, there would undoubtedly be many people coming to buy such things.
Old perverts would try to raise the price for such items.
The shopkeeper continued, "Of course, there are also clothes made from less expensive materials, which are relatively cheap. Well, if you don't have money but want good clothes, I can help you out. Just come work here for a night, and I'll give you the clothes, and I'll even tailor a special one for you."
Roa's mouth twitched. Was this considered a poor man's trick? Did so many people desire his body?
If someone else had said this, it would have been somewhat insulting, but the shopkeeper said it in a teasing tone, jokingly testing him.
Roa smiled and pulled out two gold coins from his pocket, tossing them into the shopkeeper's hand. She looked slightly surprised, a fleeting look of regret in her eyes, then nodded, "Alright, come back tomorrow afternoon to pick it up."
Roa nodded and then left with Geese.
This place was quite remote; in short, once they stepped outside, a slight turn would lead them to a small alley.
Geese seemed to have taken a rare interest and wanted to continue getting close to Roa, but Roa suddenly asked curiously, "Um, Mr. Geese, are you trying to get close to me on purpose?"
Geese's expression remained unchanged, but his monkey-like face showed a strange and bewildered look.
Roa nodded, not waiting for him to speak, and continued, "Do you know me?"
"Don't know you? Then why are you trying to get close to me?"
Still self-absorbed, Roa curiously asked again, "Did you know I would be here? Who told you?"
With the Transparent World activated and the Sword Heart opened, Roa could sense the emotions within Geese.
At the same time, he could also judge whether Geese was lying based on his heartbeat. Even if there were no visible signs in his expression or behavior, any lie would show subtle differences in his body, the most obvious being an accelerated heartbeat and increased blood flow.
Although these were very slight changes, they were glaringly obvious to Roa at that moment.
Roa turned back, his golden eyes glowing, and his aura shifted; the previously gentle and amiable handsome young man vanished without a trace.
His molten-gold eyes locked onto Geese, and an overwhelming sense of pressure surged in his heart, a feeling of being at the top of the food chain emanating from Geese.
With just one glance, Geese felt a surge of panic.
Geese opened his mouth, his face already pale, devoid of color. He scratched his head, still trying to play dumb.
But it was precisely Geese's demeanor that further exposed the issues with his identity.
After all, even a typical S-rank swordsman would feel terrified in such a situation, let alone Geese, who was just a small adventurer.
Roa looked up at Geese and asked, "Do you know the Human God?"
Upon hearing the words "Human God," Geese's expression instinctively froze.
His mouth moved as if he wanted to say he didn't know, but the nearly suffocating pressure made it hard for him to breathe.
Geese opened his mouth, and in the end, three words almost sprang from his teeth.
"No, recognize."
In fact, Geese already knew that his identity was most likely exposed.
No matter how he answered, he had already completely revealed himself, and this time it had even raised the other party's vigilance.
Roa seemed to ponder for a moment, not wasting any more words, and said directly, "Do you know your current situation?"
Geese revealed a bitter self-mocking smile at the corner of his mouth, and finally, he only asked, "How did you see through my problem?"
This was the doubt in Geese's heart.
Roa thought for a moment and said, "I was just curious. From the very beginning, your behavior was very suspicious."
Geese continued, "Very suspicious?"
Roa nodded and said, "At first, you could approach me, deliberately mentioning Paul's name to test me. When you noticed that I didn't intend to say much to you, you seemed very surprised? You know I am Paul's son, but you still deliberately said those words. You were acting from the very beginning, putting on a show for me, is that right, Geese?"
Geese's smile became increasingly forced, and he nodded, openly admitting it.
"Indeed, I didn't expect to slip up in this regard, but how can you judge whether I'm lying? Mind reading? Such a thing can't possibly exist in this world, right?" Geese asked again.
