I'm Shenji, what are you doing?

The Department of Law and Politics is the most powerful, the most mysterious, and the most feared department among the thirteen departments in the Clock Tower.

In the minds of most magicians, the daily life of this school should be like this.

The dark stronghold is like an abyss, and the eerie atmosphere is like hell.

Each member wore a cloak, hiding their heads and tails, and discussed shady conspiracies in low and hoarse voices.

Who should be targeted today, what kind of trap should be set to tempt whom to take the bait tomorrow, and even more stringent regulations will be introduced the day after tomorrow, making the entire Clock Tower full of complaints.

However, if they see such a scene, their impression of the Legal Affairs Department may change.

"Hey? Did you hear that?"

"What did you hear?"

"Lord is on vacation today."

"What? Her Majesty the Queen? Taking a vacation? Haha, this joke is not funny. The Lord has never taken a vacation except for Christmas and New Year since he took office."

"I didn't believe it at first, but Lord's leave slip has been sent to the back office department through his assistant."

"Actually, there is absolutely no need for this. She is the person with the highest authority in the Legal Affairs Department."

"That's right. But everyone knows Lord's style. He always leads by example."

"Indeed, there haven't been many things going on recently, and everyone has been a bit lazy - by the way, has Her Majesty the Queen written down a reason for her vacation?"

"When I wrote it, I said I wanted to experience the life of ordinary people."

"Uh...what is this?"

"Don't ask me, that's what Lord wrote. Maybe there is a reason why he has to do this."

◇◇◇

Lorelaia, who was called Her Majesty the Queen by her subordinates in awe, also wanted to know the reason why she had to do this.

"Why? Give me a reason?"

"Why do you have to give reasons for everything? Don't you feel tired?" Shenji is the only one in the entire Legal Affairs Department who dares to speak to Her Majesty the Queen like this.

"I'm back, I still have a lot of things to deal with."

Lorelaia tried to leave, but Shinji quickly stopped her.

"It's better not to use this kind of excuse. There's nothing much going on recently, just a day or two. And don't forget, we made a bet before and you lost. You have to listen to me on insignificant things for once. Don't you?" You might want to regret it."

"Of course not, I just don't understand it."

"It doesn't matter if you don't understand. If you could understand, you wouldn't be Bartholomew. Let's go. You've been bored in the office recently. It's a rare time to come out. It's just a good time to relax and change your mood."

Lorelaia thought for a while, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll let you decide."

"Here, put this on first."

Shinji said as he handed over a handbag. Lorelaia took it and opened it. Inside was a set of unremarkable clothes.

"Why are you wearing this? I have my own clothes."

"I know. But my eldest lady, your identity today is not a lord or a queen, but an ordinary person."

"What happened to ordinary people?"

"Ordinary people don't have magic costumes, and they don't have every piece of clothing custom-made because they can't afford such a high cost."

"Then where do ordinary people's clothes come from?"

"Put on some clothes and come with me and you'll know."

◇◇◇

When it comes to shopping in London, Oxford Street is undoubtedly the first place to go.

Different from the so-called commercial streets in many places that are designed to rip off tourists, this is the shopping center most visited by local London residents.

This is the main thoroughfare in and out of the city, making it easy to come and go. There are not only Europe's leading large supermarkets, but also various British brand specialty stores and the famous Selfridges department store, which has been glorious for more than a hundred years - on the first working day after Christmas, the discounts here are usually Shockingly low, you can buy great stuff for very cheap.

Shinji took Lorelaia to a department store called Debenhams, which is the British favorite department store. You can buy everything from sewing needles to large appliances and furniture, including clothes of course. .

"Here, this is it." Shenji said while standing at the entrance of the clothing area.

"It's just a shopping mall, I know." Lorelaia disagreed. It seems that several branches of Bartholomew are running shopping malls. "Although Bartholomew is an aristocrat, he still collects information about other classes in detail. "

"But it's only limited to collecting information. You must know the general appearance and functions of the mall, but you probably haven't been here in person. Even if you have been, you haven't selected things like those people, right?"

Lorelaia was speechless. She had indeed never been to such a place in person. Barthemero had a dedicated life consultant whether at home or out, and there was no need for her to personally care about food, clothing, housing, and transportation.

"Come on, Miss." Shenji stretched out his hand to Lorelaia, "I know you are not satisfied with the clothes you are wearing, so let's choose something that you are satisfied with."

"good."

You're here, just do as you say. You won't waste a day at all. Anyway, the leave form has been sent to the internal office.

With this thought in mind, Lorelaia relaxed and followed Shenji while walking in the clothing area.

"This one looks good."

"If it's good, try it. There's a changing room there."

"Eh? Just go and try it right away?"

"Of course, if you don't try it on, how will you know if it fits? I'll ask the store clerk to pick up what size you want."

"I think about shoulder width and neck circumference..."

"Stop, Miss. Buying clothes is not custom-made clothes. It's not that particular. They all follow ready-made standard sizes. Forget it, let's let the professionals do it - Miss, please check what size my friend is suitable for and help her get it. Try one of these."

"OK, just a second."

…

Five minutes later, Lorelaia came out of the locker room.

"How's it going? Is it suitable?"

Wearing a jacket with a small stand-up collar, she walked up to Shen Er with some embarrassment. She had never let people other than her life consultant and designer watch her try on new clothes.

Shen Er looked up and down and clicked his tongue: "I think it's good. Take a look at it yourself. There is a mirror here."

Lorelaia pointed to a few joints: "Hmm...it doesn't feel very strong. It's easy to stretch here and here."

"This is a casual model, not a sports model. Even if it is a sports model, it cannot withstand our level of activities. This is just the world of ordinary people - is there anything else?"

"It seems like it's a little short here. It would be nice if it could be lengthened a little bit."

"Sorry, that's impossible. The clothes sold here are all well-made clothes. Except for places like trousers that can be turned up, other clothes cannot be changed. Either buy it with a little regret, or give up. Look for clothes that satisfy you, that’s how ordinary people live, it’s hard to be perfect right away.”

"Compromise or persist...it's very similar to the work of the Legal Affairs Section. I choose to persist."

"Then let's go, I hope I can find clothes that really satisfy you."

Shenji chuckled and extended his hand to signal again.

PS: Let’s talk a little bit here. The next volume will be the final volume. It will be finished after finishing the book. The beginning is related to Lorelaia, so I will give out the candy first.

PS2: The FGO chapter that you are all looking forward to has been written, but it will not be a volume of this book, but a new book. The title is "Perseus' Journey to Chaldea", so stay tuned. . (By the way, of course the protagonist cannot be the third magic user. If he directly enters Chaldea, then don’t play it. At the beginning, he will make hundreds of Holy Grails and create a large group of monsters more terrifying than the Mad King. , you fight, come on, fight and see. As for the relationship between the protagonist and the second master, haha.)
