Streamer Crazy About Slaughter - Chapter 126

“Honestly, I prefer neat clothes that aren’t too much, so I’d like to take my time choosing while looking at the brand catalogs.”

Calmly and nonchalantly, Serin opened her mouth, starting off as if she had little interest in fashion.

However, secretly, Serin was trying hard to compose herself to ensure that her discomfort didn’t show.

Even though she knew almost nothing about the popular fashion brands right now, she felt that expressing that outwardly would make her seem unrefined.

For the time being, she thought of getting through this situation by looking at the brand catalog that the staff mentioned.

Eunji nodded slightly in response.

“Styles that are neat without being excessive… Oh! Could you please wait a moment? I have several images in mind, so I’ll bring some samples and the brand catalog.”

After a brief absence, Eunji returned to the Diamond Lounge with Serin and Eunha about ten minutes later.

Seeing this, Serin couldn’t help but speak out.

“…That many?”

Not only did Eunji bring a few pieces of clothing herself, but she had even called for another male employee, who came carrying an overwhelming amount of items, causing Serin to feel a bit dizzy.

‘Ah.’

Serin had expected maybe just one brand catalog, but seeing around four catalog booklets in total seemed to mock her earlier thoughts, and she let out a sigh without realizing it.

Tap. Tap.

Afterward, the catalogs were carefully stacked on the lounge table, and with a bright smile, Eunji began to speak.

“Among the brands that can create a neat atmosphere without being excessive, these are quite well-known. Since they were prepared to match the elegance of Ms. Serin, there are quite a few styles. However, once you try them on or check them out, it won’t feel that different.”

She spoke as if it was no big deal, but Serin’s eyes trembled slightly as she watched her.

‘You’re not telling me to wear all of those…?’

Even just the six styles she brought made her feel strongly uneasy.

“Um, Ms. Eunha…?”

“Yes, please go ahead, Ms. Serin.”

“I generally don’t like changing outfits often…”

Glancing sideways at the clothes the staff had brought, Serin turned to Eunha with her concern.

I don’t want to change clothes.

Eunha turned her gaze to Eunji with a somewhat startled look.

‘Did you hear that?’ was the message in her eyes.

“You can estimate your size fairly well just by holding the clothes in front of a mirror. You don’t have to change into all of them to style them. If my bringing too many clothes seems overwhelming…”

Eunji, somewhat flustered by Eunha’s look, hurriedly added.

“Oh, in that case, it’s fine.”

Serin nodded slightly in agreement.

If it’s just trying them on, it shouldn’t be too hard.

Then, instead of immediately recommending outfits, Eunji started by opening the brand catalogs and introduced several products one by one.

“Ms. Serin? The brand I particularly recommend is the Atelier brand, located at the top of this catalog you’re looking at.”

As she pointed out the clothes listed at the top of the catalog, checking Serin’s preferences, she caught Serin’s slightly quivering gaze.

Each piece was a light, ethereal color. Among them were dresses with lace, items subtly translucent, and outfits that clearly revealed the shoulders, creating an overwhelming sense of femininity.

Love, vibrancy, freshness, and so on…

Moreover, even the charm points marked next to the clothing irritated Serin’s sensibilities slightly.

Nonetheless, the clothes did appear undeniably beautiful.

Amid this subtle conflict, as Serin’s expression slightly furrowed, Eunji quickly turned the page to show different styles, but for some reason, Serin remained noncommittal with a peculiar expression.

Tap.

Carefully folding the catalog, Eunji awkwardly smiled as she opened another catalog.

“Then how about these styles?”

The clothes shown this time had a distinctly different aesthetic.

They exuded a cold and heavy feeling.

Clothes using dark tones like black, gray, and deep blue gave an immediate sense of heaviness.

Yet, there were soft but elegantly fitted jeans, cardigans, blouses, and suits which caught her glance involuntarily.

‘How could these clothes all seem so high-class?’

Lost in thought, Serin glanced at the price tags positioned underneath the clothes.

‘…?’

In a moment of disbelief, Serin felt as if there was an extra ‘0’ attached to the price.

Even the least expensive started around a million won, and there were even some that made her question their absurd prices.

Among them, there was even a sleek and stylish black suit priced at around 8 million won.

‘What kind of clothes cost 8 million won…’

Though Serin internally reacted with disbelief at the prices, Eunji was smiling brightly at Serin’s now attentive demeanor, thus nodding eagerly.

“Ms. Serin seems to prefer these styles and brands!”

“…What? Oh, yes.”

Without thinking, Serin responded reflexively but suddenly felt the weight of the last price she had seen, wanting to speak up. However, Eunji’s bright smile hastened the conversation.

“Indeed! Ms. Serin! Your taste and discernment in fashion are as high as your radiant appearance! To be honest, the first catalog I showed contained clothes that were bright and elegant, suitable for young women in their early twenties, perfect for showcasing oneself in everyday life. The catalog I just showed is for products that have a refined and elegant air, aimed at women with poise. It allows the inherent grace to shine through without overtly displaying it…”

Eunji paused her enthusiasm, taking a moment to look at Serin from head to toe, then nodded slightly as if confirming her statement.

“I believe this catalog suits you much better, Ms. Serin. Even without my saying, you immediately identified the styles that suit you… Indeed, those with such a stunning appearance seem to have a high discerning eye for fashion?”

While Eunji genuinely admired Serin, she also made sure to lavish compliments.

Customers with looks like hers were rare, and Eunji couldn’t help but express her honest thoughts, believing that a stunning appearance naturally would come with a sense of fashion.

“Ms. Serin has a good sense of style?”

From the side, Eunha, who had been listening with interest, asked excitedly, and Eunji, looking even more delighted at Eunha’s response, answered brightly.

“Yes, Ms. Serin definitely has a different eye for fashion! The products you were intently looking at are among the most sought-after from luxury brands… I had some recommendations, but I didn’t expect you to immediately gravitate toward the same items. Oh, Ms. Serin, would you like to try them on right now?”

“Ah, um… yes.”

Serin, who had been observing their conversation, nodded slightly at Eunji’s encouragement to try on the clothes, unable to voice any objections.

How could she suggest looking at different items now?

Moreover, she didn’t have the courage to interrupt the confident flow of the conversation from the employee.

……

Thus, they moved into one of the private spaces set up in the Diamond Lounge at S Department Store, where Serin naturally accepted the clothes Eunji handed her and went to the changing room to change.

Even when Eunji offered to help her change, Serin refused resolutely, insisting on changing alone while momentarily struggling.

Swish.

On top of the white shirt from the luxury brand, a stylish semi-suit in black revealed understated elegance.

Swish.

Underneath that suit, fitted black slacks completed the ensemble.

While changing, Serin suddenly felt as though she were stepping out for some important occasion.

No.

That wasn’t it.

Though those thoughts crossed her mind briefly, once she completed changing, Serin looked at her reflection in the full-length mirror at one side of the changing room.

“…”

As soon as she faced the mirror, her silver hair stood out.

Carefully stroking her white hair against the stark contrast of the black suit, she slowly assessed her appearance.

An 8-million-won black semi-suit, the white shirt underneath it, and the black slacks.

Her white hair stood out brightly and drew attention, while the neatly tailored fit of the black suit subtly attracted the eye.

Finally, elegant black luxury shoes completed the chic ensemble.

Tap.

Tap.

Serin lifted her foot and tapped the floor, feeling a bit awkward as she moved.

As that movement caused her white hair to sway slightly, it brushed against the black suit.

In this odd mix of awkwardness and something that felt somewhat suitable, Serin murmured softly.

“Does it look good on me?”

It didn’t seem bad, but she lacked certainty.

More than anything, her appearance felt strange to her. It was clearly her, but it didn’t feel like her… that sense of dissonance was overwhelming.

‘Where in this is it neat without being excessive?’

The criteria for “not excessive” certainly included the prices…

Suddenly such thoughts crossed her mind, but she was already swept away.

Having changed completely, Serin cautiously approached the entrance of the changing room and stepped out slowly, pushing aside the layers of silk curtains.

Swish.

Immediately, as the many layers of silk that had covered the changing room entrance swayed aside, Serin emerged in her black suit.

“Oh my goodness!! Ms. Serin!! It really suits you so well…!!”

Waiting for Serin to come out, Eunji gasped, covering her mouth with her hand upon seeing her.

Eunha, who had been calmly waiting, suddenly widened her eyes at Serin’s appearance.

The catalog Eunha had been examining fell from her hands as they loosened.

Thud.
