Reincarnated as the Villainess's attendant

Chapter 244 – The Shopping Begins! (part 2)

"…"

The female clerk instantly backed off under Miriette's furious glare.

Her survival instincts have kicked in and she hurried towards the other side of the shop without as much as daring to look back.

"My lady, that girl was rather strange but don't exert herself over a commoner."

Zoemi breathed out and looked meaningfully at the now pouting black-haired girl.

"Hmph! Who cares for some peasant anyway?"

Miriette scoffed and went straight to picking up a few pieces of clothing that managed to catch her attention.

"This should be good for the time being."

She declared and faced Zoemi while holding up a pair of black pants, a green long-sleeved shirt, and a black vest.

Aside from the color of the shirt, a rather safe combination that didn't particularly look any different than what the boy was already wearing.

"Excuse me, where is the changing room?"

Zoemi turned to the threatened clerk and asked politely.

"Ah! I-it's right here, your lordship!"

The girl flinched and pointed to the back of the shop at the place separated from the rest of the shop with curtains.

"Thank you."

Zoemi nodded with a smile, making sure that he is blocking the other girl from the absolutely murderous gaze of Miriette…

"…!"

Still, the commoner clerk blushed and started staring at her feet while fidgeting, once again overwhelmed by the black-haired attendant's looks…

"!!!"

At that point, Miriette felt as if lightning has struck her.

She already knew that Zoemi would be constantly approached by the girls infatuated by his looks, but it didn't change the fact that once that started happening in front of her, it made her extremely angry regardless of the mental preparation…

Well, her anger might have been mostly caused by the fact that the clerk had a long, flowy, not reacting to her current mood, hair.

The hair that Miriette wished for but could never have because of how it behaved after exceeding a certain length.

Zoemi went into the changing room and Miriette started to wander around the shop and check out the available female clothes.

She eagle-eyed a certain green dress, that made her eyes go round.

She picked it up and admired it for a few seconds – it definitely paired up perfectly with the set of clothes that she picked up for the black-haired boy…!

|We can go for the pair-look with these!|

Miriette cheered out in her mind while raising up the dress, more than just happy…

…until she noticed a rather revealing open cleavage, something that less gifted in the chest volume girl wouldn't want to show.

At least if she didn't want to look just sad…

Miriette glanced down.

Looking straight down gave her a clear view at her shoes that two overly modest bumps had no possible way of obstructing…

"…"

Miriette gritted her teeth and glanced at the clerk who still looked embarrassed after Zoemi smiled at her…

if the red-headed commoner girl was in the same position as Miriette, she could barely – if at all – see the tips of her shoes which made her instantly several times easier to despise by the dark-haired girl.

"Tsk!"

Miriette clicked her tongue and put the dress back in its place.

|Z-Zoemi likes them how they are, right…? And besides, Horeo said that Zoemi likes my butt…|

Miriette stopped in her track, ending up at the worrisome thought.

|That one time I was changing in the same room… D-did he not tried to peek at me because he thinks my body is unattractive…!?|

The dark-haired girl paled and subconsciously protectively covered her chest with a terrified expression.

"Excuse me, miss?"

Suddenly Zoemi's head popped from behind the curtain and he looked at the red-headed girl – and not Miriette who flinched and hurriedly lowered her arms, with her face red as a tomato.

"Y-yes, dear customer? What can I help you with?"

The clerk flinched and approached him immediately – while carefully keeping an eye on Miriette.

"Could you please get me a larger size of those designs? They're a bit too tight for me."

"!!!"

He said and handed her the clothes that Miriette picked out for him – accidentally revealing his muscular torso, which made the commoner girl's eyes go round.

"Of course, please wait a moment!"

The clerk perked up kept staring even while already walking away.

"Much obliged."

Zoemi added when she took the clothes and went to look for the larger ones.

|She's looking at him funny…|

Miriette squinted her eyes at the clerk girl – Zoemi wasn't the one to blame, he was just trying out clothes that he wanted to buy, but the commoner girl on the other hand…

She would be more obvious only if she openly asked the black-haired boy to touch his muscles…

"Here you are, my lord."

The clerk returned to Zoemi and gave him the larger clothes he asked for.

"Thank you…?"

The black-haired attendant received them with a confused smile, unsure why the clerk was treating him like some sort of celebrity and disappeared behind the curtain.

The problem was that the clerk made the mistake of lagging behind with a clear intention of peeking at the changing client…

…which was far too much for Miriette to handle in sound mind…

|Only I can do that!|

Was the dark-haired girl's first thought as she rushed at the unsuspecting, far too obvious, clerk…

"What do you think you're doing…!?"

As her body started glowing green, Miriette got right in the face of the clerk.

"M-miss customer, I-I don't…!"

"Dead air."

The commoner girl took a step back and tried to talk to Miriette but the noble lady was having none of it.

Miriette pointed at the clerk and cast probably one of the nastiest spells she came up with after listening to Zoemi's rants about something called chemistry that was supposedly a different take on alchemy – one that didn't include mana and magic at all.

The effect was instantaneous.

"Ghuaa…!"

The clerk girl started wheezing and gasping for air.

She grabbed her throat and her face became blue.

Miriette stared at her with cold eyes.

"Listen here, long-haired shit-face."

The dark-haired girl said while pulling the other girl's hair so she would get on her eye level.

"He is mine, got it? Only mi…"

Miriette stopped herself and looked to the side as if she remembered something.

The clerk was in the middle of suffocating, she was losing strength and her vision was growing darker. There was no chance of her freeing herself from the magically enhanced grip of jealous Miriette.

"He is mine, mostly… I agreed to share him, but certainly not with you. So know your place and stay the hell away from him. Got it?"

Miriette pulled the poor clerk closer and whispered in a blood-chilling voice that made the red-headed girl tremble.

"I asked if you get it!?"

Miriette hissed demonically and the girl whose brain was sending mixed signals desperately nodded sensing it might be her only chance of survival.

"Good. Release."

Satisfied Miriette nodded, let go of the girl, and released her spell.

Just in time, tears, drool, and snot was oozing out of their respective orifices and some other body fluids were about to be discharged by the clerk too.

"Ghu-huaaah…!"

The commoner girl wheezed again, this time the life-saving oxygen was included in the air she was breathing so her complexion brightened.

Still, as she was now free and ecstatic over still being alive, her knees gave in and she slumped to the floor.

Because of the clerk's ample chest rising and falling due to her irregular heavy breathing, Miriette clicked her tongue annoyed.

|I should have kept the spell on longer…|

She said begrudgingly and turned her back to the girl.

"Pull yourself together. If he'll notice that something happened and scold me, I'll stop playing nice with you."

She murmured barely loud enough so that the clerk would hear her.

Scared out of her mind girl scrambled to get up.

"My lady, what do you think?"

Zoemi walked from behind the curtain in his new apparel and smirked confidently while buttoning up the left sleeve of his shirt.

The clerk turned away as fast as she could so that he would not notice how she looked like to not incur Miriette's wrath.

"…?"

Zoemi noticed her sudden movement but disregarded it after a quick glance in her direction.

What was important for him was the opinion of his master.

"!!!"

His master was completely awestruck and was staring at him as if he was a full course meal ready to be eaten.

"My lady?"

Zoemi tilted his head which only made him look even better in Miriette's eyes.

But since there was no verbal response Zoemi got anxious.
