Physics The Greatest Magic

"Argh... I'm late." John muttered as he entered the shop 

He was mostly late because he was held back by those kids, but he didn't mind. Not only that, but if he was late then that would mean that he'd be able to see them already in their dresses. 

He was nervous but at the same time, looking forward to it. 

As he entered the tailor, the first thing which stood out about it was the floor. It was shiny, so shiny that it appeared to sparkle. 

Like the tailor john went to, this one stood out. Two floors high, a large clean shop with plenty of clothes and options to pick from. 

There were clothes being displayed around in clothing rails sort of like how it was in John's previous life. 

On top of that, the lighting was great, everything was displayed clearly, and there were a few counters. 

"This shop is ahead of it's time..." John muttered as he walked inside 

The tailor shop he had gone to before was sort of like this, but all the suits were either inside of a closet or just on display through some sort of closet with a glass. 

Once he was inside, he was quickly greeted by one of the maids who appeared at the door. 

"Hello dear customer, how may I help you today?" She asked with a smile 

It was a high-class shop, not only that but, the first floor was also quite big. John wondered what was on the second floor as he greeted her back. 

"Hey, I came here to find my group. They're probably trying out the clothes that they've chosen by now." 

John knew that they weren't on the 1st floor, he couldn't see them anywhere around and could feel their presence coming from the 2nd floor. 

"Hm... It's not really allowed since I wasn't told anything... But, sure, follow me." She Said with a smile 

[That's strange... I've been being treated rather nicely today... Even though I'm just some random kid...] 

Suddenly, John realised something. 

[This isn't because of the rumours that are going around is it? Damn it, is it my mask?] John wondered 

Without saying anything, John simply thanked her before following her 

"Thank you." Said John 

A girl who seemed to be in her 18s, slightly long pink hair and pink pupils, yet a sharp and calm gaze. Good proportions and a fit, slim build. As John got a closer look at her, he was reminded of the young boy who he had helped a while ago, almost like a feminine version of him. 

"No need to thank me, there are quite a few groups here... do you mind giving me details about your group?" She asked 

Hearing this, John nodded, he was taken too far back due to how kind she was being, he felt a little hesitant to trust her but was also having his faith in humanity restored. 

"Two young girl- A-Ah, I mean... One young girl and two adults. One of them is short with moderately long hair while the other is kind of tall with long black hair tied up in a pony tail.�� Said John 

"Hm... I think I recall a group like that..." She muttered as she placed her hand on her chin 

"Really? Where are they?" John asked while faking a relieved look 

"They should be in the changing rooms, if I recall correctly... But." 

"But?" John asked 

"Guys aren't allowed there unless they are accompanied by the girls themselves before going up." She said 

Hearing this, John let out a sad sigh before saying 

"I see... I'll just wait for them down here then." Said John 

"Understood, I hope they don't keep you waiting for too long." Said the maid before quickly heading to the door once more to help whoever else needed it. 

"She sure is hard working... I didn't even have to act like a rich boy." John muttered 

So without nothing to do, John waited. 

One minute passed, and there was no sign of them going down the stairs. 

. 

Another minute passed, and they remained upstairs. He could see the mana in their body moving around, but they looked undecisive about something. 

. 

5 minutes had now passed and still no sign of them. Slightly worried, John began to wonder if he should maybe sneak in with Furtim activated. 

But thankfully, there was no need for that, they had started going down the stairs. 

"Jesus... How long did they intend on spending in there...?" 

They looked bothered by something and even looked a bit nervous. As John got closer and called out to them, a relieved expression appeared on their faces as they let out a sigh. Everyone except for Master Sylvia who rarely changed her expression. 

"John, Just in time." Said Ariel with a relieved smile 

"Eh?" John unintentionally let out 

[What's going on?] 

"We forgot to get the money to buy it, so we ended up waiting in the changing room, while trying out new things, but you never showed up." Said Serena 

"I've been waiting down here for 8 minutes" Said John 

"Then why didn't you just go up?" Serena asked 

"I'm not allowed to go into the changing rooms with you unless I accompany you at the same time as you enter." John replied 

"You look rather happy for someone who's been standing here for 8 minutes." Said Serena as she stared at him in disbelief 

She was right, without him even realising it, John was rather happy and excited to see them in their dresses. 

"It's your imagination, more importantly, what did you guys get?" John asked 

They weren't holding on to their clothes and he couldn't see it anywhere. 

"After trying it out, you're supposed to return it until you actually buy it. Also, we've already tried it out for today so there's no need to do it again." Said Serena 

After she finished, John wanted to tell them that he wanted to see what they looked like in it, but the words just wouldn't come out. 

[I guess as I'll have to wait until tomorrow...] Thought John as he let out a sigh 

"Alright, Let's go buy it and go home..." Said John dejectedtly 

The two girls wondered why John so depressed, but decided to wait until after they left the store before asking
