I Paired Up With a Woman From an Adventurer Matchmaking App, She Had Perfect Compatibility, But the Worst Personality. When Our Erotic Compatibility Exceeded 200%, She Became the Most Obedient Team Member at Night. - Chapter 4

After being escorted to the exit by a staff member, we left “Aoyama Protective Clothing.”
I was wearing the 3.5 million nogle outfit that had just been coordinated for me.
Just thinking about wearing 3.5 million nogle made me nervous.
The current outfit was so different from what I usually wear that I still felt a bit unaccustomed to it.
Then, unlike when we arrived, Cordelia walked right next to me and said.

“Hold your head up high, Kent. You look decent right now.”

“Even with this new outfit, I’m still decent?”

“That’s how I see you,” Cordelia replied with a meaningful smile.
Just then, the conversation of two girls we passed caught my ear.

“Hey. Wasn’t that guy just now super stylish and cool?”

“I saw him. To be honest, his face is pretty ordinary, but his sense of style is top-notch. It just drew my eye!”

“The person next to him, is that his girlfriend? Wow, they make this unapproachable ‘perfect couple’ vibe!”

“I thought my eyes would rot when I saw that ugly guy in silver and yellow striped body armor earlier, but seeing him brought me back to life~ I’m so grateful.”

“……………………”

Hmm… Hmm… Hmm… Hmm…

“What’s the matter, you? Why are you suddenly so smug?”

“No. I just thought that my time had finally come!”

“Huh? What’s with that all of a sudden?”

“Even that silver-and-yellow-striped body armor I wore before suited me well, but…”

“It didn’t suit you at all!”

“It did, but this high-class outfit is nice too. Well, I like it, Cordelia!”

“You… you’re more conceited than I thought.”

How rude!
I was merely expressing my appreciation for the store’s products that Cordelia had recommended!

“Wait, right. Sorry about that, Cordelia.”

“Huh? Sorry about what?”

“What do you mean? You paid for my clothes, didn’t you? They were super expensive. Are you really okay with that?”

“Who said I’d pay for you?”

“What?”

But you did pay, didn’t you?
Cordelia flicked her twin blond ponytails and shot me a condescending glance.

“Since they’re your clothes, you should pay. I just covered for you because you seemed broke. You’ll owe me later.”

“Hey, wait a minute! What’s with that presumptuous tone? I don’t even have that kind of money to begin with…”

She thrusts her shiny nail-painted fingertips at my nose.
Cordelia was pointing at me.

“The bounty from yesterday’s Violet Dragon should be coming in soon. That was supposed to be 100 million Norgles. Split between you and me, that’s 50 million each. Hmm, how much did you say that full-body set cost?”

The numbers spoke for themselves. It was an obvious calculation.
I still didn’t feel right about it… But the fact that I’d even get that dragon bounty at all was thanks to meeting Cordelia.
Besides, I had to admit… I was actually… no, I was quite fond of this new look.
Well, I suppose I’ll just have to swallow it as a necessary expense.

“…Fine. I’ll pay. Is that good enough?”

“That’s acceptable. And…”

Cordelia lowered her finger from my nose to my chest.
She tapped the pristine mithril breastplate with her well-shaped nails, making a crisp clink.

“You’ve become a man worthy of holding me, haven’t you?”

She winked, her sultry gaze piercing my heart like an arrow.
Ignoring my dazed state, Cordelia clapped her hands together as if struck by inspiration.

“Hey, Kent. Since we’ve invested in all-new gear, shouldn’t we test it in actual combat?”
