Tall ceiling, wide streets, fancy shops, unaffordable price tag – the Commerce Deck is frequented by the Tier-0, that’s why it was so extravagant. The classy district had extended its access to the presentable Tier-1 personnel, simply because they were good enough to perform as walking decoration, making the place lively and fun.
As a Tier-2, Yui wasn’t supposed to be there, but she could because of Ivan’s clearance. They were going to meet under the clock tower and buy some non-essentials together. Yui had arrived early to observe the people, and she learnt their etiquette and body language in no time. She didn’t have the chance to learn them before.
“Sorry I am late!” Ivan ran to Yui.
“Don’t worry, I was too early,” Yui cutely tilted her head, practising what she just learned.
“R-really?” Ivan was charmed.
“Let’s go?” Yui reached out her hand.
Ivan hesitated for a moment, but he eventually held her hand. Ivan blushed as he felt Yui’s warmth and Yui couldn’t help but smile at his clumsiness. They arrived at lady’s fashion, Yui went to look for what she liked, and Ivan was looking at the mannequins.
“Yui would look good in this,” Ivan was looking at a blouse with ruffles, complete with a high waist dress. Female uniform in the Ark were all skirts and shorts, very different from this design. “This is probably a design from the old human? Very pretty indeed…”
“Is it okay if I want this, Ivan?”
Ivan turned around and saw Yui holding a skimpy nightgown; the fabrics were so thin that wearing it or not was almost the same. This nightgown had no practical use other than highlighting a lady’s charm.
“Okay! Okay!” Ivan held Yui’s hand, trying to hide the nightgown with his body. Yui smiled, knowing Ivan was embarrassed.
