The Incubus System Chapter 305. Shopping Time I
02.34 PM
The afternoon sun shining brightly above Ironshade Town accompanied our steps on Peace Blossom Square's street. I was in my human form and wearing a simple t-shirt with jeans now. While Celia wore a simple t-shirt with a skirt from Pearl. A normal one, not sexy like before.
After Celia and I had our lunch with my women, I took a bath before Ian drove us back to Ironshade Town. As for my servants, Foxy decided to train with Luna and Yuffy at Maria's place to catch up. Meanwhile, Ivy returned with Camila and Olivia as Miguel.
My gaze was on Celia who looked a little grim either because she was disappointed that she hadn't found a suitable dress for her prom after visiting her two favourite shops or because of our previous conversation. Or maybe... Because I always said that all the dresses she tried on were beautiful and busy with my own thoughts.
"Are you still disappointed with my answer or because of the dress?" My voice broke the silence between us. I had texted Tiffany to join us and she agreed. She should be on her way here.
"Both of them," she pouted.
"Is it my answer about the demons or the dress?" I asked again.
She turned to me.
"Also, both of them."
"Celia... A bitter truth is better and a sweet lie," I said. Of course, I meant my answer about the demons.
"But when it comes to my dress, you do the opposite," she said straight to the point.
'Opsss...' An awkward smile appeared on my lips since I couldn't deny what she said was right. This was why I invited Tiffany to come with us. My sense of fashion was not that great and I preferred simple clothes in natural colours for every occasion. T-shirts, sweaters and jeans were my favourite clothes. Besides, how am I supposed to know about women's clothes and trends?
Somehow I wanted to say 'It's only a dress, not a big deal'. But since I knew how important a dress for a woman was, I chose to shut my mouth.
"I didn't lie, you know. All of those dresses looked good on you," I tried defending myself even though it sounded like a cheap coax.
And she answered me with a flat stare.
"Nice try, brother."
"If you don't believe me, you shouldn't have asked me in the first place," I complained.
"I only have you. Of course, I asked you." She answered me with another complaint.
"You should know, your brother is not a fashion expert. So I simply said my opinion," I retorted.
"You don't have to be a fashion expert for this. After all, why do you say the same thing on every dress?" she replied in the same tone.
I frowned.
"They looked the same. The only difference was the neckline style and the bottom."
"All of it is a different type. The first one is a mermaid, the second is an A-Line and the third is a trumpet," she explained in annoyance.
"What the hell is that?" I said with a cringe.
"The dress type, of course," she replied with a pout.
Well, I remembered the first and second dresses did look different, but the third dress looked the same as the first.
"Then what about those similar purple and pink dresses that you showed me?" I asked. This bothered me since it made me look like I was colourblind.
She exhaled in annoyance and stopped in her tracks. I also stopped and turned to her.
"It wasn't purple, but Lavender and Lilac. The others were Mauve and Soft Pink. Not Pink," she said in an emphatic tone.
I gave her a weird expression, a combination of cringe and another 'what the hell is that?!' kind of expression, and raised my hands a bit as a sign of surrender. Then I shook my head from side to side and turned forward.
"I give up. We'll wait for Tiffany. She should be waiting for us at the park," I said as I continued my steps. Although I did not know if Tiffany had arrived or not.
Without saying anything Celia followed me.
Luckily, Tiffany was already there when we arrived at the fountain in the middle of the park. She was just about to sit down and took out her cellphone from her handbag to text me when we approached her. She looked feminine with a simple dress in a colourful colour.
"Hey, how did you guys know I've arrived?" She put back her cellphone in her bag.
"Instinct," I said with a grin.
But Celia said something else.
"He almost lost his sanity just because I dragged him into two shops."
"I told you I'm not a fashion expert," I complained again.
But she answered me by looking the other way nonchalantly.
Tiffany giggled.
"I see. That's why you suddenly text me." She turned to Celia and smiled.
"Don't worry. You can count on me for this."
"Ha... A capable 'Fashion Expert' came to the rescue at last." Yeah, Celia said the 'Fashion Expert' in an emphatic tone to mock me.
And I answered by poking her with my elbow.
"Right, shall we go now?" asked Tiffany with a smile.
"Let's go!" said Celia excitedly.
Well, at least, I could relax a bit now.
We had only taken a few steps when a familiar female voice called my name.
"Ethan?" We turned to where the voice came from and saw Ruby approaching us. Instead of her usual maid costume, she wore a cute mini dress. She also styled her hair as if she had already prepared herself to meet her boyfriend.
'Please give me a break...' I thought.
"I never thought I'd meet you here," Ruby said again.
I turned to Tiffany slowly. The look in my eyes showed what I was thinking clearly, 'Did you sell me to my stalker in exchange for your advice for Celia's dress?'
But Tiffany shook her head from side to side in panic, indicating that she didn't know about this either.
I let out a sigh and turned to Ruby who stopped in front of me. A sweet smile on her lips. Looks like she had been following Tiffany on purpose.
"What a coincidence, Ruby. Do you want to go on a date with your boyfriend? You look--- different today." Even though I knew she dressed up for me since she made this a coincidence I decided to point out her unusual appearance.
Ruby giggled.
"What are you talking about? I don't have a boyfriend yet. Today is my day off. So I decided to walk around here to get some fresh air."
"With that dress?" I asked.
"Is it weird? I bought it last month and haven't had a chance to wear it yet. So I decided to wear it today." She checked her dress from side to side to make sure there was nothing wrong with it.
"Oh, I see."
Ruby returned her gaze to us again.
"So what are you guys going to do? I'm bored walking around aimlessly. Shall we have some coffee? Or maybe play at the game centre?" she asked. I bet this was her main goal.
"Sorry, Ruby. We can't play around. We have to check on a few shops to choose my prom dress," Celia refused.
But the result was different from what she wanted.
"Oh! I can help you with that!" Ruby answered excitedly. She grabbed my arm shamelessly.
"C'mon, I will show you my favourite shop!" Then without further ado, she pulled me. While Celia and Tiffany could only follow us.
Note: If you are confused why Ethan can't distinguish those colours. You can google mauve pink and soft pink. Also Lilac and Lavender (dress). You will find some dresses in similar colours.

Just went down a rabbit hole for 30 minutes comparing dresses of nearly identical colors trying to figure out what was off: my eyes, my screen, or the site's labelling system.
Fashion is scary.
It´s simple: we are men, not women. Only women have the power to different a color in 30 different subcolors, know 10+ different dressstyles and many things more. So if your GF ask for shopdressing, you do your damm best to get her female friends to join her and stay the hell away!
well i am not colorblind as i can see a little difference when I can see both colors at the same time, but I cant see it when it is not at the same time. And remembering the names of the colors are like trying to get pregnant as a men (impossible).
There are different types of pink?
Yes
quick summary of stone age societal effects on modern day body development:
-at dawn of humanity mankind lives in hunter-gatherer societies, men hunt (a preferred method being chasing a prey animal like a gazelle until it dies of exhaustion), women gather (nuts, berries, edible roots, eventually some woman leaves some grains at a spot, for some reason comes back to them months later, grains are now plants, boom agriculture)
- a tribe with men who are poor hunters doesn't get to eat meat (important nutrients necessary for body development, especcialy brain, hello evolution, also hunger and starvation), tribes with women who bring in poisonous berries lose members (few berries/nuts/roots/rabbits means hunger and maybe starvation).
-this goes on for hundreds of thousands of years, over time men get better at hunting (stronger pysique, more endurance), women get better at discerning berry A (edible, light shade of blue) from berry B (lethal poison, slightly darker than berry B) as well as noticing small details (like berries in a bush)
-which is why your father got shouted at by mother for putting on a totally unacceptable, dirty, filled-with-holes shirt, only to answer "looked clean to me". Chances are he actually didn't notice while in a womans eye it's clear as day.
....... yes ofcourse
@cathulion Thank you for explaining it. Here's your cookies
@cathulion That explains so much!!! Now I understand why I'm always in trouble for not noticing things!
There is an insane number of different shades of colour that the human eye can detect. I am pretty sure there are over a million of them, and each needs its own name.
@SuperBort Wow, and that's from just three cones. Can't imagine the difficulty with four.
@cathulion holy shit... This is why my mom notices every little ripped hole in my shirt while i can't even notice them without trying to look for them
@cathulion That's called evolution(only the best genes survive and get passed on).
