Extraordinary in Reality Through Magic Games

261: Chapter 258 First, let’s take out a bishop’s deputy; an unexpected encounter.No matter how casual one usually is, one must always dress decently for a banquet.

It’s not that simple attire is unacceptable, but rather that it reflects respect for the inviter; it’s a matter of politeness and upbringing.

If Zhang Mu went alone, he would only need to use Transformation Technique to change his clothes.

However, it would seem too unusual for a City Lord to attend an important banquet without his wife.

So, the group went out early to find a clothing shop to have formal wear custom-made.

Though it was called a group, it was actually just Zhang Mu, Palina, and Mr. Solon.

Domit and Mihe were not very comfortable with the noise and bustle, so they stayed at the hotel to rest.

Leah was the same; despite Zhang Mu repeatedly emphasizing that with him there, no one would dare do anything to her, the Little Cat Girl still chose to stay in the room and listen to Mihe tell stories from his youth.

To buy formal wear, especially luxurious custom-made attire, it was certain that no shops would be found on the previous street.

The three of them had to ask passersby for directions and arrived at a high-end commercial street.

Standing at the entrance of the street and looking in, Zhang Mu lamented that no matter where one is, indulgence never goes out of style.

The straight street was wide enough to accommodate three carriages side-by-side. The storefronts of the terraced shops on both sides had a unified design, looking orderly and clean.

Most luxuriously, the ground was not the usual bluestone but paved with light blue crystal, polished so well it could serve as a mirror.

”No wonder his tone was so suggestive when he mentioned this street.”

Looking down at his own inverted face on the crystal floor, Zhang Mu muttered a sentence and then glanced at Pavlina’s trousers. ”Fine, no need to change locations.”

”Lord City Lord.” Mr. Solon scanned the street, which was filled with pairs of customers where women were linked arm-in-arm with men, the former all wearing puff skirts. ”Why would he recommend we come here?”

”Probably to let country bumpkins like us from out of town witness the extravagance of the Royal Capital.”

Pavlina was also looking around. ”Don’t they mind their wives’ skirts being peeked under?”

”Wives?” Zhang Mu said cheerfully. ”From where can you tell they are wives?

Also, do you call this peeking?

It’s clearly looking out in the open.”

As he spoke, he stepped into the street, and Pavlina quickly followed. ”I still can’t understand.

If they like them, even if they don’t want to marry, they could take them home as servants.

In short, no man wants his woman to be voyeuristically observed, right?”

Seeing her curious baby-like expression, Zhang Mu helplessly stopped. ”A man indeed doesn’t want his woman to be voyeuristically observed, but as you said, that’s for ’his own woman’.”

”These...” He pointed to a woman not far away who was linked to her male partner’s arm. ”They aren’t considered their own women.”

”Then what are they?”

”Tools for showing off.”

Pavlina still didn’t seem to understand, showing a puzzled look.

This woman was usually very submissive, but she was stubborn about things she cared about. Zhang Mu had already experienced this deeply and knew that if he didn’t explain clearly, it probably wouldn’t end.

”It’s like how a child shows off their treasured toys to their companions, gaining satisfaction from the amazed and envious looks of others.”

”Is it the same?” She tilted her head.

”It’s the same.” Zhang Mu saw a clothing shop ahead and walked over while waving for the two to follow. ”As you said,

Men don’t want their women to be seen by others. So, what do they do? They just find some tools, and then there’s no problem.

They’re just tools; if they can be fixed, fix them; if not, replace them.”

Mr. Solon suddenly asked, ”Are they willing?”

”From their expressions and behavior...” Zhang Mu scanned the surroundings. ”They are clearly more than willing. As for the reason, it’s definitely because enough gold coins were given.”

”Then, if they didn’t lack gold coins, would they be unwilling?” Pavlina took a step behind him, leaning her head forward to look at his profile as she asked.

His steps paused for a moment before he continued walking. ”I suppose so.”

Zhang Mu suddenly lost interest in small talk. The two keenly sensed the drop in atmospheric pressure and also shut their mouths.
