Paradise of Infinity

The difference in this clothing store didn't end with its external decorations but also the changing slots. The location where Genta took him had stalls with actual doors as the changing rooms but while this location had considerably more changing slots, all of them would only be covered by thick yellow curtains. If the curtain is pushed aside and no one is inside then, of course, it meant that it can be used. If the curtain is covering the slot then it meant the changing room is occupied.

*Srrt*

With a bleak expression, Nik slightly pushed the curtain to the side and walked out. Wearing a loose-necked t-shirt with the edges reaching lower than his collarbones even without any v-neckline, and a pair of uncomfortable leather pants, he felt the itch to scratch his balls... and probably wear something that doesn't give his guy down there so much outline.

Mitsuko smirked playfully, "Fine, fine," as if realizing the deliberation in this particular outfit, Nik sighed and took the other outfit from Mitsuko's hand. Could he even get angry at someone who is buying him clothes?

Nik once again covered the small slot with the curtain and took the clothes off and stood in his underwear. He barely had any shame in taking off his clothes. His original clothes were hung to the side and Nik gazed at himself through the body-sized mirror.

Tracing the corner of his right eye slowly, observing the distinct lack of the original scar, his fingers moved back right at the base of his spine and felt not a hint of mangled flesh. He then patted his crotch. And then even went on to carefully watch his toes for a few moments. With how he had been dreaming about his... caretaker, the only thing connecting him were the locations that would have held the traces of his training in the last world. But they were no longer here.

'And yet, it still aches sometimes...' Nik silently slipped into the red t-shirt and black trousers. This was something that did not look good in his eyes. Red and Black. He compromised for a few days already but these two colors were too sharp together. With a sigh, Nik walked out and spread his arms while turning over and letting Mitsuko see the fit.

"Hmm... maybe something blue," Mitsuko mumbled with a ponderous expression as Nik began trying things out constantly before picking on two different outfits but he didn't let Mitsuko buy anymore. After all, buying more will be a waste of money, and he wouldn't be needing them probably and...

Well, he doesn't need to actually pay for stuff truly, right?

It was discreet, but he began sweeping stuff that wasn't just trash, and this time, they disappeared not into the collection junkie Infinity that nets out AP but something much more personal. Something that Nik can truly call his own... employee contract benefit.

Under his jacket, the red scar, around his left forearm at the base of the elbow, flashed gently as Nik sometimes brushed his fingertips across. He didn't know if any of the clothes will fit him but he still did it and whenever he could. Instead of going for the clothes on the top of each shelf, he traced the clothes within the bundle and as they disappeared without a sound or any other indication, Nik grew more and more excited.

Why he didn't fear the inventory system in such a place?

Because this place is large and visited by many customers. And his act was probably something that nobody could have imagined.

But only a few were swiped by the 'gift' attached to his body. The remaining converted into points.

Instead of just paying for Nik's clothes, Mitsuko handed him the basket and pulled him to the upper floors, clearly, their day of shopping hadn't come to an end. What came next was purchasing a few underwear, which only needed the size of what he was already wearing and that's it.

Finally, even higher, in one of the particular stores, Nik's expression turned slightly strange as he found himself surrounded by women's clothing. It wasn't the location that made him feel strange, it was the various types of dresses and the sheer variety of them that made him feel a little dumbfounded.

So many options!

He had seen women wearing relatively normal clothes, he now realized. Sweaters, vests, shorts, pants, jackets, overcoats— were the item much similar to men's clothing. However, the various designs in cuts on dresses, or traditional dresses turned more modern with the removal of few key pieces and stuff... it did send Nik into a bout of daze. Even in his world, you can either dress like a slut, formal, or casual wear. But in here... you can combine the three of them!

Mitsuko grew engrossed finally. Nik didn't really take long for his shopping as much as he did for stealing. Which he continued. He was interested in... how the girls would look in a certain outfit and tingled his imagination, finally breaking him out of his more reserved shell due to the language barrier.

Many gazes followed his movements as he touched the hems of the dresses and skirts to check the material, making him unable to steal or devour the outfits hung on a hanger. Still, it didn't matter.

"You like this?" Mitsuko whispered, almost cooing as she picked a few of the dresses that attracted Nik, of course, of the appropriate sizes hanged right behind the much smaller size on the front.

Silently, Nik looked at his status screen, something that others aside from the other employees of Infinity would not be able to see. After all, the most basic status screen also acted as one's ID Card.

[Name: Nik Faran

Age: 20 (80)

Code: GC—EHG—98034

Authority Rank: 0 (1.0021/100)

Paradise: Transmigration

Bloodline: Adonis' Ember (Common)]

It was a tedious task but getting points in this world had an appropriate difficulty. Just like one's own rank, the various items are also ranked by Infinity. If the item is of an amazing quality that surpasses one's current rank then the value received will obviously be high. However, finding such a thing in a more normal world like this one was hard. His previous world had rumors about certain types of individuals but in his career, Nik never got the chance to serve any of the women of that particular kind.

Still, if getting one point took him two days of constant scavenging then it wouldn't take him long to gain another point for the future use for the purchase of language and he was getting a little frustrated by the lack of communication himself. It was manageable, but at least, he felt that even if he doesn't speak, being able to understand those around him silently would bring him even greater benefits than normal.

Although a breach of trust, Nik was willing to keep the status quo and keep it a secret.

[Acquire language of the homeworld?

Cost: 1 AP (Rank 0)]

Nik gazed at the status screen silently before silently accepting the transaction.

[1 AP deducted. Multiple fully recognized languages detected. Automatically select the region-wide language?]

Nik frowned before accepting it again and he fell into a daze. A moment itself and something changed. Unlike the moment when Infinity printed the knowledge of the entirety of the system and what his new and only task was, this time, it felt like he had grown closer to those around him, and by that, it didn't mean the people around him but the environment itself.

"Hey, hey, isn't that guy cute? Let's go and strike a conversation." Nik heard a hushed whisper to the side and with a glance, saw two middle-aged women browsing through the shelf of dress while discreetly turning their heads to the side.

'Nice, I actually understand stuff now,' Nik blinked. It wasn't much, just that things had grown a little more normal for him. He can talk and listen and...

Gazing at the tags of the dresses, he smiled, he could read the words, too.

"Eh? He's got such a weird smile while looking at that skimpy top." The other woman whispered and Nik carefully observed the top, too.

It was sexy.

Standing and waiting in front of the changing room occupied by Mitsuko, this time, the kind with an actual door, Nik began to muse about something.

Could he absorb the building itself?

By every right, it should be possible. This would entail the destruction of property but the use of such an ability is too great. Even though it doesn't directly benefit him, he could use it the way that it does, right?

'I wonder how much I'll get for devouring a building for AP...' Nik narrowed his eyes.

"How does this look?"

The door opened slightly as Mitsuko walked out with a smile. The warm interior of the store allowed anyone to try clothes of various nature. Wearing a grey turtleneck sweater with a diamond cutout in the middle of the chest, she purposely leaned forward slightly and squeezed her shoulders inwardly, "How do I look?" She inquired. It was a common gesture which Nik would have understood even without the need for words but understanding Mitsuko truly made him just appreciate her voice.

Nodding, Nik smiled and then thought for a moment before pointing at the changing room behind her.

"M-more," Nik, too, purposely stuttered as Mitsuko's eyes lit up and she entered the changing room.

Though her voice still emerged from the stall.

"I have to say that the sweater really doesn't suit me... it just looks good on younger girls, maybe fat boys with breasts? Hehe," she giggled, after all, she was her own audience, "Still, it's good that we're buying something. Although I don't like how Sayoko would go on a shopping spree for everyone regularly, it's nice to spend some time outside the house."

Nik silently stood by the corner of one of the hanging stalls and listened to Mitsuko while keeping an eye out so that nobody realizes about the missing dresses. He didn't go overboard, of course, not with those dark objects at the corner of the ceiling with a red blinking light.

"I miss it when my girls were young. I took a break from everything in my life. Used to take them out in the park. Especially Kurumi. She loved slides growing up, maybe that would explain why she is so wild. Hmm, this is a little tight but should be alright."

With that, Mitsuko walked out once again, this time wearing a blue sequins dress from the curve of her breasts while the sleeves and the neck were made from fishnet-like material. Although the hem of the dress barely reached Mitsuko's knees and tightly wrapped around her body leaving only the most intimate moments to one's imagination, Nik traced his chin ponderously and rotated his index finger. Twirling around, Mitsuko really gave Nik a good look at the 'dress', not minding the odd looks on the faces of the few customers.

As Nik observed everything, he shook his head. This dress was no good, at least, for him. He wouldn't recommend anyone wearing something so... peacock-ky. Sure, some, including Mitsuko, could pull this dress off, but it didn't feel good in Nik's eyes. It may simply be the case of him not still being accustomed to the fashion of this world.

"Aw? You don't like it? I was sure that boys enjoy this kind of stuff," Mitsuko sighed and shrugged, "Well, I will try the stuff you had your eye on."

With that, Mitsuko entered the changing booth once again.

"Hmm~ Hmm~ Heh, Reiko had a collection of sequins dresses until she got the job. I didn't believe it when she said that Office Suits, especially the one with trousers instead of pencil skirts work way better than dresses until I saw the result with my own eyes. What a celebration we had when Reiko landed the job~!" Mitsuko continued to speak her mind out without any fear while Nik recalled Reiko.

She certainly didn't wear any pencil skirt... well, not that Nik knew what it meant. But till now, he had only seen her in Suit Skirts instead of a pair of pants. "Of course, this was till she started wearing those shorter skirts and pantyhose. I know the truth, however. Hehe, she got fat and couldn't fit in her trousers so she decided to make the shift!"

Nik smirked, suppressing a short chuckle that almost escaped his mouth.

"Alright, I'm going to need some help. Will you come in?"

Saying this, Mitsuko slightly parted the door of her booth and stretched her arm out with her index finger beckoning him into the changing room.

Looking around, Nik found that the two women who continued staring at him were in their respective changing stations and the two female attendants would glance towards him every now and then but mostly focus on their phones.

And realizing that the worse thing that could happen if he is caught with Mitsuko is... just nothing, Nik opened the door and stepped in before closing it.

The booth was small, certainly not comfortable for two grown men and women. Mitsuko's own clothes were hanged on the backside of the door while the rest which she intended to try were set on the small stool to the right. With a body-sized mirror in the front, Nik watched Mitsuko in a rather proactive dress. It was wider from the neck but a completely form-fitting lavender dress. Folded patterns over to the torso and a deeper neck from the back than front not to mention it completely parted from the back with a zip line waiting to be tucked right.

"Go on," Mitsuko gestured with her chin and spoke softly.

But instead, Nik found himself staring at Mitsuko's buttocks for a moment, almost pressed against his waist. It wouldn't be the first time but the stretch of the fabric presented an attraction hard to deny. It was these little things that attracted Nik. Seeing 'big' things didn't matter to him because a certain someone almost ruined sex for him entirely but with a new body came a new set of systems that affects emotions. Yep, a fully educated whore bags the highest of prices, after all. He knew his biology well enough, at least, by the standards of his own world.

But seeing the effects on items of daily use, such as clothes, because of bodily assets greatly pulled Nik's attention every time.

The low-key part of the reason why he enjoyed dressing up for Yuuko's job is that he enjoyed the act of dressing up itself, as long as the costume isn't too tedious.

"Come on," Mitsuko urged again, with a charming smile this time as she swayed her buttocks slightly to break Nik out of the most simple charm of the world.

Circle.

With a nod, Nik held the base of the zipper and pulled it up with his other hand. The satisfying sound of the zip filled the small room as Nik finally let it go after it ended close to half the length of her back from where began the deep neck of her dress.

"How does it look?" Mitsuko inquired while bending and taking her phone from the stool, the act itself firmly pressing her buttocks up against Nik. And when she straightened her back, swiping the lock screen, she felt Nik firmly holding her arms from up close to her shoulders and looked up. They made eye contact through the mirror as Nik stepped forward slightly and pressed himself against Mitsuko's back. His hands tracing up her arms and settling on her shoulder, on the right of which he kissed gently, just brushing his lips against the open back and smiled before doing an 'ok' sign.

Closing the phone with a smile, Mitsuko pursed her lips. But the excitement in her eyes couldn't be concealed and the joy, too.

"I'm glad," she once again tapped at her back, touching the zipper as Nik got the idea and unzipped the dress once again.

However, this time, he was pushed out unceremoniously, unknowing of the words regarding taking her time that Mitsuko had claimed at the beginning of his stay, and the bath.

As he stumbled out, he found one of the bespectacled attendants staring in his direction. All the employees wore masks regardless so what expression she had was unknown but given the stiffness of her body's posture, she certainly seemed shocked and quickly dodged Nik's gaze.
