After all that had happened in what was supposed to be a normal library run, she was now p what to do . "So my goal is pretty much set huh..." Mumbled Elizabeth while holding the red bracelet in her left hand while she held the obsidian one in her right.

  She had indeed po work as a [Villian's minion] as her powered persona, but that was mostly so she could try to get down a notch Akira. Not that it would be doable sihe travel was randomized. What were the ces that the group of misfit heroes ended up with her in the same city?

  Rossie was with her because they were a team, but that was about it. ces were that she would end in some capital with that [Hero's Luck] where she would survive and thrive as a [Sidekick]...Hell depending on how much luck she still had she would probably end as a solo [Hero] or something.

  No, she had more important problems to deal with.

  "So even though I wish for the be...I will o carry on the red one..." Said Elizabeth while putting on the red bracelet in a made of solidified shadoutting it on a colr to be hiddeh her clothing.

  She then walked outside and gave her thanks to the [Librarian]. She had more pns to finish today after all...And while she felt more fortable in her [Alice] persona...This would need her other one.

  "[No one is nearby mistress, you may ge bato your Disguise.]" Said the little girl from her shadow, she also o speak with that girl about that. Why does she think her [Alice] persona is the true one?

  Either way "Thank you, [Shadow Shift - Release]. " Said Elizabeth while her whole body ged to return to her more on appearahe blonde appearance of a girl with blue eyes shone once again.

  She put on the obsidian bracelet on her hand and made sure the red one was still hiddeh her clothes. She would make sure the effect was w while it was in her [Iory] at a ter date, for now, she o make sure her shadows didn't act up while she was in a stressful situation.

  So she turned off the [Shift] put on the obsidian bracelet and walked to one of the stores with a window to admire herself, she was indeed in her usual [Form]. The bck obsidian bracelet shined on her right arm, most wore them oher arm, but she was trying to make a habit of wearing the obsidian one on her right arm and the red one on her left arm.

  It would make it easier to wear them...Perhaps she would o personalize more her [Iory] and try to get some new options from the blonde asshole to make this thing adjust her clothing and tamper with the size...

  'No Elizabeth don't get distracted!' Thought to herself the blonde girl while fishing for her phohe tampered one by her father). And searched for a clothing store, she had clothes to buy.

  Both for herself and for Alice...For her powered persona, if she nning to separate the identities they would o dress differently enough...And besides, she was having fun thinking of all the ways she could dress her more [Modest] body!

  Why she always wao try and go for the [Lolita] and [Gothic Lolita] thematic!

  That would be fun in itself!

  So after making sure she got a shop in one of the fancy districts (She wasn't going to go and buy anything in a district she would visit as Alice) she went her way, the shadows still felt somewhat stifled, and more docile. She wasn't sure if her [Alice] form had a closer link to the shadows or if she was imagining things...

  She would o experiment with that ter, ["Mistress, there is someone following you"] at a time when she wasn't being tailed.

  "Who and since when?" Asked the blonde girl into her shadow while stopping to admire a shop that had a new sele of eic imitation purses.

  She wasn't going to buy anything (Even if a few caught her eye) "[They started half a block away, but they stopped at the same time and at the same amount of time as you. So the scouts reported it just now...We suspect they are following you because of the obsidian bracelet.]" Answered the little girl.

  God that girl was too effit...Scary effit.

  "Why do you suspect my bracelet?" Also, she seemed to follow a different thinking form from her, was this much deviation in her skill geion?

  The skill said they weren't alive...But this little girl, the [Scouts], and Nyx made her doubt...

  "[....Mistress...The way the rude librarian acted trying to get your s...The way the restaurant owner didn't want to accept the s...They both imply the use of that bracelet brings power, be it financial or political would need more information we don't have access to. Also, Lord Nyxfyre says that you o study more.]" Ehe little girl's speech.

  Rude!

  "RUDE!" Excimed Elizabeth in e, then blushed and started walking away ashamed, at least the other people didn't seem to mind it that much, they probably thought she was another rich blonde bimbo walking around.

  "[They are discussing among themselves...]" Started saying the little girl, she could feel how the shadons around her were fog on a group of people in the periphery of her range.

  It seemed that they were at the ready to strike... "[They have deemed you a tourist that got lost and are deg if they should knock you down and throw you in the rich district uide you there...Tur here."] Added the little girl.

  She did as told "[That settled it, they decided to let you leave on your own, just keep walking straight ahead. That erfect act, Mistress, even I thought you were a rich blonde bimbo for a sed!]" ...She liked more the Buttler. He wasn't rude to her.

  "Of course. I'm me after all!" Said the blonde girl while nodding to herself.

  "[The act is no longer needed Mistress they are out of hearing range.]" She...Wasn't ag...

  She would stop thinking about that, it would hurt her pride more than needed, she now uood why her Mother acted like that... For now, she would focus and walk towards the shopping distrid go on a buying spree, that ought to calm her nerves...Even if that was what a bimbo would do...

  Was she a bimbo? 't be, she was top of her css!

  Yeah, maybe she was overthinking...But for now, she would carry on!

  She ended up walking a few blocks till she arrived at a main street, and from there the world did a 180° ge, from the dipidated almost slum-like part to the more rich parts where everyoheir bracelets. Most were brown and silver, with a few Golden ones sprinkled here and there.

  Most of the stores held a little ring on the signs they were silver rings, it seemed they signaled something, sinside those stores she could see only people with silver old bracelets. The same occurrence happened with those businesses with a golden ring on the sign...Just with less amount of ers. Those were the ohat looked fahough.

  In the end, she tried to walk towards one of those with less amount of people around (And one of those with a golden ring). But it was the store with the biggest amount of clothing styles and variations, so she walked towards that one.

  "Greetings...Miss... we help you with something? To enter our establishment we require a verification s." Said a man at the entrance of the store. He uhe librarian in the previous library wasn't ht rude to her. But he still seemed to look down on her.

  She did a quick look at a strand of hair on her face...It was blohen why? She looked at her arm and found the clothing...Right...She was wearing a sports hoodie and sants...Not the fancy kind of thing you would wear...Especially in this kind of setting...

  "Oh here go ahead." She said while showing him her bracelet, the man flinched for half a sed but carried on.

  "Just a seiss." He brought a portable ser from behind him and with a practiced motion sed her bracelet. The ser returned a green light that made him flinch, but he motioned on. "Wele to Haute Luxuria Loft, someone inside will help you with your needs." Said the man at the door while opening the door for her.

  "Thank you." Said the blonde girl while walking inside. Onside while some other ers looked at her, they didn't look too close to her. But most had their bracelet on the open with short sleeves on them. So Elizabeth rolled up her sweater to make sure hers was visible too.

  And just in time sine of the employees of the store came straight to her, her face was in a scowl whearted walking this way, but when she saw her bracelet it devolved into a pleasant smile...Yeah...Something was indeed up with this bracelet.

  "Hello Miss, we haven't had a [VIP] in quite some time...The st one was one of the workers uhe Traveller] actually, he sent someoo buy a present for one of her lovers..." She said in a higher-than-needed voice tone, so most of the people around heard it and stared at her, ers with curiosity...But coworkers? They now were gring at the employee.

  Yikes.

  "What I help you with Miss?" Asked the employee, she was smiling at her, but it seemed as if she was waiting to know who she was buying things for.

  "I'm here to buy some clothes for myself and a couple of friends. Care to charge it to [My Bracelet]? Papa just gave it to me and didn't tell me much about it. What's the deal with it anyway?" Said the blonde girl while putting her hand forward waiting for her to s it, sihe employee was clutg the ser behind her back.

  "[Well pyed Mistress, this way the employee will think you are a spoiled brat that doesn't know anything. So she will assume someone is monit your spending and cheg them to make sure you weren't scammed!]" Came the voi her head from the little maid in her shadow...

  Rude!

  But it was o know that she wouldn't get scammed out of her, not money...

  For her part, the employee sed the bracelet, and the only difference was that it turned golden instead of green. "Well...Your father cherishes you very much Mistress Elizabeth." Said the woman, she could make up some words in her lens, it seemed the ser gave some cursory information on her person.

  "This is a [VIP] Bracelet provided by the Saintsworth glomerate, it works as a smart wallet and makes sure the poliforcers know that any disturban your viity had no ties to your esteemed self. For why would someone as noble as yourself create problems!" Added the employee while sprinkling some flourishing words here and there with over-the-top gestures. "Also it makes sure that us lowly workers know that bringing our best service to you will be rewarded by the Saintsworths. For your esteemed father must have climbed quite the ranks with them...Or paid a small fortuo allow your ease of use. No one will stop you nor trouble you, be it heroes or Vilins!" She ended her expnation.

  Then closing on her and whispered the st part "So long you aren't part of their...Clubs. They will respect your civilian life at the very least, but the more...Exotis are beyond our pay grade, so go to any [Hero] agency for an expnation on those funs." Fihe employee. After that, she returo a more normal tone. "Now, this one has a credit card tagged to the name [Papa], so your spending will be charged to your esteemed Father. What kind of clothes do you require Mistress Elizabeth?"

  "[Mistress, we keep her? She is quite the smooth talker...What? Do you think she is taking advantage of Mistress Lord Nyxfyre?...... We always use it till she is on the verge of death and leave it at the side so it's okay if she tries to use our Mistress...She will not live much at that point anyway, Mother will deal with that...]" She was feeling that the little girl started ranting on a weird topic so she mostly ighat.

  "...I will take that into sideration...For now get me an arra of casual clothing, some sportswear, and a few things to use in a formal setting. " Said Elizabeth while walkiween the aisles. "In the meantime, I will look at what you have iore."

  After leaving the employee behind, she started taking notice of the clothes around, it seemed a few of the things had sers nearby to buy the things and they would ship them to your address or you could take them at the check out...

  She made some pns to test a few of the clothing at a ter date, "Mistress, the clothing is listed for your peruse. Please e to the ging room to see if it's up to your standards." Came one of the employees, a lower ranking one if she was to bet.

  "Let's go." This one guided her to an adjat room, where she saw the previous employee berating other workers to move things, this was one spacious room...But where was the ging booth...No wait, they said ging room, didn't they...

  "We have brought the fi of choices for your needs Mistress...This one." Said the employee while pointing to a clothing rack, "Has the trending ga dresses of the season...While here." She said pointing to another clothing rack " Has the most chick fashion hits of the season. Even the princess of the Saintsworths would wish they had access to these ones" And finally she poio the st clothing rack "And to top it all in, for those times you just don't have the time to care...The most fashio simple sets we could find..." Ended with a flourish pointing to the third clothing rack.

  At the side of each of those was a table filled with all the accessories she would o use, from seles of shoes to purses, from jewelry to hair accessories...Even a few photos of models showing different ways to bihem...

  WHO NEEDED HELP CHOOSING HOW TO USE PAJAMAS AT HOME!?!?

  "Thank you..." Said the blonde while perusing the clothing choices.

  "We will leave the ging room so you test the clothing, you only o s the clothing you will take and we will either deliver them to your home...Or if you wish, use your [Space Artifact] to take them home. " And on that hey all left.

  Wait, ace artifact?

  ...Heh, she wouldn't mind that much, for now...She would o dive into this...

  Maybe take all the clothing rack, accessories, and all?

  Wouldn't it be fun if she hit the credit limit on the first day?

  "Anything else before we leave?" Said the employee at the door.

  "...Bring me something on these styles and measures." She said while writing on a notepad the measures her [Alice] body had, good think she could bring them up quite easily from her [Shift] skill database. She wouldn't o get measured again. Not that she thought it would be easy with all the discrimination that body suffered oreets...

  "We will ply. The clothing will arrive in 5 mins Mistress." And after that, they left her.

  Time to release some stress on the only reason she liked to leave the fort of her room at Avalon... Dressing up.
