Chapter 104: CHAPTER 103
After the introductions were over, Andrew took control of the situation and began instructing the models. Unlike Dastan who had damaged the relationship with Andrew by making a disrespectful comment, Canna was more cordial.
Since there were no prejudices or misunderstandings between them, Canna didn't hold back and asked as many questions as she could think of. The lady was very proactive in wanting to learn from him. Andrew, Carolina, and Helena were not rude to her and taught her as much as they knew.
Although none of them were experts in fashion show training and management, they certainly knew much more than anyone in this world. This was especially true for Andrew, who, while he did not know all the details of these events, had seen various videos and news of them in his past world, so he had a better picture.
The girls who acted as models were also very diligent, as they took their job very seriously to the point that some of them took notes on the explanations of Andrew and Helena, who were the main trainers.
Carolina did not have much knowledge about fashion shows, since only one had been held and she was not part of the group that organized it, so she limited herself to observing and learning.
In a breath, the morning was gone and Andrew, Carolina, and Helena left. Practices for the fashion show only took up the mornings. Since the Heavenly Palace was closed, the three of them really had nothing to do, so Andrew decided to take their wives out for a meal.
They did not look for a fancy or expensive place, they just entered a restaurant that seemed to serve good food, it had a decent appearance and many diners.
Fortunately, they had chosen well, because the food was delicious. It certainly wasn't as good as the food prepared by Hector and his team, but it had good presentation and flavor, for the price they paid.
After eating, Andrew took the girls for a walk around town. Ironically, Andrew had arrived in this city almost a year ago and had not yet gone out to tour it properly.
Since he arrived, he limited himself to investigating what interested him and for this reason, apart from the area of the red light district in which he operated, he did not know much about the rest of the city. After walking for a couple of hours, Andrew had a better understanding of how complex this city was.
Compared to the large metropolises that existed in past life, this city could be considered medium-sized at best, however, it had its own appeal.
Although he knew that the city was divided into regions, each one with its specialties, he had not taken the time to evaluate this distribution well. Walking through the streets of the city, he was able to realize that, although the cities of his previous world had better transportation, communication, and other facilities, he had to admit that Catnar's organization was impeccable.
It had a fairly advanced road infrastructure, for a time when horse-drawn carriages were the norm. They had four types of streets that interconnected all the regions of the city.
The main streets could accommodate up to three carriages side by side. The back roads could accommodate two carriages side by side. The tertiary streets could accommodate single carriage and pedestrian streets.
This structure surprised Andrew a lot since despite the fact that the big cities of his previous world had a similar road infrastructure, in Catnar it looked much more organized and for some reason cleaner.
The roads weren't the only thing that surprised him. The city also had an incredible drainage system. In certain parts of the city, you could see the drains that kept the city from flooding.
However, what surprised him the most was the strange combination of technologies that this world had. He was already suspicious of it when he looked at the textile industry. Andrew had already noticed that in this world, despite being clearly very similar to what the Middle Ages would be like in his previous world, there were things far ahead of this time.
The textile industry was one of those, the drainage system was the same, and even many artifacts that may be homologous to the ones he had seen in his previous life, such as ovens, refrigerators, and others.
Clearly, all these developments were supported by magic, not technology. Andrew felt a bit strange to see things so similar, but at the same time so different.
Andrew took advantage of his outing with the girls to buy them trinkets and clothes to commemorate their first date. No matter what world it is, the girls' enthusiasm for shopping is the same, so Andrew suffered a bit accompanying them, but he still had fun walking with them.
When the sun was setting they returned to the Heavenly Palace. Oto and his workers were finishing their workday when they returned. Andrew exchanged a few words with him and continued on his way to the office.
Due to the events of the night before, Andrew had granted Aki a break, so she was in the office with them. Carolina and Helena had taken a liking to her, so they spent time with her chatting.
Aki still had a hard time showing her face, so she never took the mask off, no matter how much they insisted, so Andrew thought it was about time he started looking for a solution for her.
As the girls chatted, Andrew started talking to Fluffy in his head. "Fluffy, is there any medicine that can remove Aki's scar?" he asked, and Fluffy instantly replied, "There are many, master, however, you don't have enough points to buy them."
"Which would be the cheapest?" Andrew asked again, and Fluffy replied, "The tissue repair cream in combination with the rejuvenating cream should be able to cure her in a week."
"How much cost the tissue repair cream?" Andrew continued to ask, and naturally, Fluffy replied, "5 million points". The exorbitant number scared Andrew since he had not bought anything so expensive to date.
The large number of points that he needed worried Andrew a bit since he had few points and had not had much sexual activity lately, so he saw the goal further and further away.
Heaving a sigh, he stopped talking to Fluffy and looked at the three girls who were talking enthusiastically and could only think, "I guess I've been too passive lately."
The girls seemed to have noticed that Andrew was looking at them strangely and they creased their eyebrows and unable to stop herself, Carolina asked, "What's wrong?" Andrew hesitated a bit, but still, he replied, "We couldn't celebrate yesterday, so I was thinking of doing it today."
Andrew's comment made Carolina and Helena blush, as they perfectly understood what he meant, but they didn't respond. Aki just kept silent and since she had her mask, no one could see her expression, but she had also blushed because she also understood what Andrew meant.
The office fell into a strange silence and after a few seconds Carolina spoke again, "Even so, I think that today you can only have fun with Helena." Carolina's words surprised Andrew and Helena.
Carolina noted the puzzled look on their faces and explained, "I think, as a new wife, she should be cared for exclusively on her first night." Andrew and Helena understood what Carolina meant, but they still couldn't believe that she said that, especially when she was so jealous before.
Andrew did not pursue the matter and just nodded his head. Helena seemed to want to say something, but she was interrupted by Carolina, "Since that is decided, a girl talk is necessary. Come on Helena."
Carolina practically dragged Helena out of the office, leaving Andrew and Aki in the office stunned. Andrew could only deny with an ironic smile at Carolina's behavior.
As the two girls left, Aki wanted to do the same, but Andrew stopped her. "Aki, don't go. Why don't we check the loot you got? I haven't been able to check it yet."
Aki didn't say anything, she just saw how Andrew approached the furniture where she was, and taking out the dimensional bag he began to check it. Inside were about 20,000 small gold coins and some special-looking items.
Among the items were 10 books, 7 weapons, 10 transparent crystals, and a black chest. The books were manuals of combat techniques, which were of no use to Andrew since as a candidate for the god Eros they were not compatible with him, so he decided that he would use them to train his guards.
The weapons were the same, there were three swords, a pair of daggers, and two high-quality spears and he unceremoniously handed the daggers to Aki. She wanted to refuse, but Andrew didn't give her a chance and she could only accept them, the rest would be shared between Oliver and the other guards later.
The transparent crystals were mana crystals, which are very valuable and have different uses. They could be used for different medicines or to increase the power of weapons, he still didn't know what to do with them, so he didn't touch them.
As for the black chest, it was what caught his attention the most and he curiously opened it. Opening it, he found a small dagger that didn't look like anything special, aside from the fact that it was red, but upon seeing it, it was Fluffy who appeared startled, shouting, "A DIVINE WEAPON!"
