Ruler's Awakening: Inheritor of the SSS-Rank Dimensional Talent-Chapter 189: Aerith New Look

Seeing the beautiful dresses and outfits on display touched Aerith’s heart. As a woman, she naturally loved anything that looked elegant in her eyes, no matter what it was.

Aaron hadn’t expected this kind of reaction from her. After all, Aerith wasn’t your typical woman—she was a manifestation of the Dark Dimension’s desires.

But if Aerith was showing this side of herself, Aaron saw it as a good thing. It was a rare glimpse of her human side, one he hardly ever saw.

To him, Aerith was usually a ruthless woman who cared for no one but him, indifferent to the existence of others.

Guided by the boutique staff, Aerith walked deeper into the store, admiring the array of dresses displayed on the mannequins.

There were five in total: three exquisite white dresses showcased in the boutique’s glass windows, while the other two were kept inside.

Even so, Aerith loved all five of them. These white dresses were vastly different from the dark gown she was currently wearing.

Each dress had its own distinct design—some featured wide, flowing skirts, while others were slim and form-fitting.

There were off-shoulder styles and more traditional ones. The diverse selection was clearly intended to cater to different preferences, ensuring every customer could find a dress that suited their taste.

Among all of them, Aerith couldn’t take her eyes off a slim, elegant white dress. It featured an off-shoulder design that gracefully highlighted the wearer’s collarbones.

The dress was adorned with shimmering crystals and beads, scattered from the bodice down to the train, exuding luxury and glamour.

Its form-fitting silhouette beautifully accentuated the body, and the long train that trailed behind added a dramatic and sophisticated flair.

Delicate lace patterns resembling blossoming vines adorned the train, giving the gown a romantic, feminine touch—an ideal match for Aerith’s figure and radiant presence.

"Excellent choice, miss. Would you like to take this dress, or would you prefer to have one custom-made?" the staff asked.

"Custom-made, but I want it in black, not white," Aerith replied.

"Black?" The staff member blinked in surprise and glanced nervously at Aaron, who could only manage a faint smile.

"Is that a problem?" Aerith asked, her tone turning icy and sharp.

"N-Not at all. Many of our customers also request dresses in black," the staff quickly clarified, fully understanding Aerith’s preference. Explore more stories at novelbuddy

To begin the custom process, the boutique staff escorted Aerith to a private fitting room for measurements. Aerith agreed, but only after Aaron reassured her that there was nothing to worry about.

Aaron waited outside, seated on a cushioned chair provided by the boutique. The fitting session went smoothly, and soon, Aerith emerged from the room with the staff member, a measuring tape draped over her shoulder.

"The measurements are complete. You can proceed to finalize the order at the counter," the staff member said. Aaron nodded in acknowledgment.

However, their shopping trip wasn’t over yet. Aerith still needed adventurer attire—something functional for her role, matching the typical adventurer styles in this city.

Understanding Aaron’s request, the boutique staff guided them to a section filled with casual clothing.

Though it wasn’t as glamorous as the dresses, Aerith knew she needed to comply with Aaron’s request.

She wasn’t entirely sure if she’d look good in something so plain, but she didn’t want to cause trouble for Aaron on this adventure.

Aaron gave Aerith the freedom to choose whatever outfit she liked—whether it was a shirt, a blouse, a crop top, a jacket, or a vest. Aerith appreciated this gesture, feeling it made her decision easier.

Her eyes scanned the racks, inspecting the items on display. Most of the clothing came in muted tones—black, gray, and dark brown—designed to help adventurers blend into the dimly lit labyrinths of the Dark Pillar.

Aaron, on the other hand, was perfectly content with his signature black shirt accented with purple patterns, which he saw no reason to change.

After some deliberation, Aerith finally made her choice. She tried on the outfit and emerged wearing a black crop top with the word "Dark" printed in white across the chest. She paired it with a vest left unzipped, showcasing the crop top underneath.

For the bottoms, she chose denim shorts that weren’t overly tight, and on her feet, she wore black boots that complemented the outfit perfectly. At a glance, she now looked like a typical adventurer seen in the city.

Aaron didn’t mind. As long as Aerith felt comfortable, that was enough for him. Aerith admitted she wasn’t entirely at ease with the look, but she was willing to do it for Aaron. She understood that drawing unnecessary attention to herself would only make things harder for him.

"That looks great on you," Aaron commented with an approving nod.

"Of course it does. Anything would look good on me," Aerith said confidently, striking a proud pose with her hands on her hips.

Aaron chuckled softly. Her playful arrogance was a side of her he rarely saw. After wrapping up their shopping, Aaron led Aerith to the counter to settle the bill.

The purchase was finalized, and the staff informed them the custom dress would be ready in three days. If they couldn’t pick it up in person, it could be delivered via the friend-link system.

Aaron declined the delivery option, stating that he and Aerith would return to the boutique after three days. Aerith wanted to see her finished dress firsthand, making this the best choice.

The staff nodded in understanding, assuring them that the dress would be crafted with utmost care and attention to detail to ensure their satisfaction. Aerith was already looking forward to seeing her custom dress.

Stepping out of the boutique, the pair returned to the city’s bustling main street. This time, Aerith noticed something different—people seemed indifferent to her presence, treating her as just another adventurer.

"You were right, Aaron. They’re not harassing me anymore," Aerith observed.

"I told you. Once you blend in with them, they’ll treat you as one of their own."

"So, what’s next on your agenda, Aaron?"

Aaron opened his raid panel, showing the remaining time for the monster raid event. It had started eight hours ago, leaving only four hours before it ended.

It was possible to reach the floor boss within that time, but rushing the raid could be risky. Aaron began explaining the situation to Aerith, who listened intently.

"We’re going on the raid!" Aerith declared.

"Are you sure? There are less than five hours left," Aaron replied.

"With your strength and mine, those monsters don’t stand a chance!"

’She’s so fired up. Is it because she’s with me?’ Aaron thought.

’Whatever. If this is what she wants, I’ll focus on making this raid a success.’
