Chapter 49 Take a stroll

"Does your neck feel much lighter?" Lu Ye asked.

"Ah."

Violet gently stroked the skin of her neck.

Just as a person who has always had sandbags tied to their feet will feel incredibly light and free when the sandbags are suddenly removed, Violet also felt an indescribable sense of liberation at this moment.

A gentle breeze swept through the streets and alleys.

She tilted her head back slightly, feeling the coolness on her neck; her fair neck was as graceful as a swan's.

—Your body belongs to you.

Violet realized this.

Although her memory is hazy, the coldness she felt when she was handcuffed remains in her heart.

As the collar disintegrated, that trace of coldness vanished completely.

"Are you done?"

The old woman came out of the changing room carrying a rack.

When she saw Violet, she was slightly stunned for a moment, then felt a little relieved.

Regardless of whether she was a slave or not, this girl at least had a "master" who treated her well.

After that, the old woman took out all sorts of clothes and held them up on Violet to show Lu Ye.

As long as Lu Ye nodded, the old woman pushed Violet into the dressing room to try on the clothes.

Lu Ye roughly understood why so many people in real life play dress-up and simulation games like "Miracle Nikki".

Every few minutes, Violet would emerge from the fitting room as a completely different person.

One moment she's an elegant young lady, the next an innocent and carefree girl, and then she transforms into a valiant and spirited female official...

No one can resist the charm of a beautiful girl changing clothes; there's bound to be one that suits you.

Back when Lu Ye was acting like a teenager, he always dreamed of saving beautiful girls while doing good deeds, and then the two of them would develop feelings for each other. Eventually, things would fall into place, and the proud girl would snuggle up to him and act cute. All he had to do was move his fingers, and the girl would change into a bunny girl outfit or some other cosplay costume, and then they would live a shameless nightlife.

Lu Ye is no longer acting like a chuunibyou (a person with delusions of grandeur), but a beautiful girl who can change clothes has appeared.

Lu Ye didn't mind buying all the clothes.

While on the ship, he had done his homework, subtly inquiring about Leiden from the soldiers, such as common knowledge and the monetary system.

The colonel gave him enough money to buy all the clothes in the shop and still have some left over, but he kept the money for other purposes.

This concerns his and Violet's future.

The colonel was setting up his strategy, and Lu Ye and Violet were the pieces in his game.

Lu Ye was well aware of this.

But he was reluctant to help, because chess pieces are meant to be used and consumed.

Just like a samurai who cherishes his sword no matter how much he usually does, he will not hesitate to draw it when the time comes, even if it breaks.

The colonel's plan was bound to be dangerous, so he had to make thorough preparations.

After paying at the counter of the clothing store, Lu Ye left the store and had only taken a few steps when she noticed many strange looks from her.

Those were passersby, and they all turned their gazes in this direction.

It wasn't directed at Lu Ye, but at Violet.

An exquisite pleated skirt, a beautiful face, long, flowing hair styled in a bun, revealing the snow-white nape of her neck...

Combined with her indifferent expression, she truly looked like a flower on a high mountain.

Lu Ye, dressed in a white shirt and carrying several bags, looked more like a servant accompanying Violet.

But people's impression of Lu Ye soon changed.

Violet didn't seem used to wearing high-heeled boots, and she walked like a newborn duckling, her clumsy movements were so cute that they were endearing.

Lu Ye followed closely behind her, never leaving her side, always reaching out to catch Violet when she was about to lose her balance.

He didn't look like a servant; he looked more like a father or brother.

But how could a blonde beauty have an Asian relative?

Therefore, people naturally regarded them as a couple.

They wandered the streets all day.

Lu Ye explained various common sense concepts to Violet, trying to help her understand the current situation more quickly.

For example, houses, lights, the behavior of people around you, and the etiquette they show to others.

As dusk approached, the streetlights along the road gradually came on.

In the original story, electricity was not yet widespread at this time, but war always drives technological development.

The city's shopping districts were brightly lit, accompanied by a cool sea breeze blowing in from the harbor.

At this time of day, the night market is at its peak.

"Do you understand?" Lu Ye said, "A transaction is using money to exchange for something."

“Mmm.” Violet nodded. “If you want something, you can buy it with money.”

"That's right, but you also have to worry about the quality of the products they sell you, otherwise you'll lose money."

"In other words... confirm the quality of the item before buying it."

"Yes."

"How can we confirm that?"

"Well, things like touching and looking at things, you can ask the seller for details," Lu Ye said.

“I see.” Violet said thoughtfully.

The two continued walking forward, when suddenly Violet stopped in front of a fruit stand.

"Oh, beautiful lady, what would you like? All the fruit here is fresh!"

The stall owner seemed very enthusiastic.

"coconut!"

Violet pointed to the cart and said to Lu Ye.

Even though she left the island, she still remembered her life there.

If it weren't for Lu Ye, she wouldn't have known that coconuts were edible and that their juice was so delicious.

"It's quite big." Lu Ye's eyes lit up.

This person might just be a scoundrel.

I drank something I didn't want to drink on the island back then, but after a while, I actually started to miss the taste.

However, this is a good opportunity to let Violet buy things herself and, at the same time, practice her newly learned language skills.

She's mastered the grammar and learned a lot of new words these past few days. Let's see how far she can go.

—Lu Ye gave Violet the task of trying to buy things herself.

Because it was a mission, Violet began to talk to the stall owner very seriously.

In her memory, Lu Ye always used "tasks" to instruct her.

For example, "Violet, I have a task for you: go and chop down some firewood over there."

For example, "Violet, could you boil some water for me? I don't really want to get out of bed right now."

For example, "Violet, come massage my shoulders, the sun is so nice today, and my shoulders are a little sore after sleeping all afternoon... In return, I'll give you a scrub tonight!"

Therefore, she subconsciously felt that the "mission" was a very important thing.

It wasn't the content of the task itself that was important, but because it concerned Lu Ye, she had to do her best to complete it.

In other words, it was precisely because of Lu Ye's "request" that action was taken.

Chapter 50 Known as Little Wang Lei

Lu Ye placed a gold coin from Leidenshaftrich into Violet's hand.

This is the highest-value currency, more than enough to buy some fruit.

“Then I’ll go to the stall next door and buy some drinks,” Lu Ye said. “Just buy whatever you want, and the vendor will give you change.”

After saying that, he left and went to a nearby stall to buy a brightly colored drink.

At times like these, Violet should be left alone.

Being too dependent on others is never a good thing.

"Is this what I want...?"

Violet turned her gaze to the stall.

"Excuse me... how much can this fruit sell for?"

Violet pointed at the watermelon and said in somewhat broken English.

I'm already quite fluent in Chinese, but I need time to get used to the new language I'm learning.

"I'll give you fifteen crowns for this watermelon. How about it, miss from abroad?"

Perhaps because Violet's language was not fluent, the stall owner mistook her for a stranger.

“I am not Miss, I am Violet.”

“I see… haha,” the stall owner chuckled. “They’re all fifteen crowns each, and they’re all about the same size, so I won’t count the weight.”

"Fifteen crowns..."

Violet began to think.
