He had never been to the New World but did not want to embarrass himself in front of his goddess.
He headed toward the few fishermen not far from them.
“Hello, might I ask…”
The fishermen quickly left before he could approach them. They were at the bottom of the New World’s social hierarchy and had never been exposed to the outside world. Therefore, they avoided Justin and Lily out of inferiority when the two approached them with their weird clothes.
Uh…
Justin felt awkward from their reactions as he returned to Lily and bitterly smiled before saying, “ It seems that the fishermen were quite shy. Let’s head to a bigger and more populated place to ask for directions.”
“Hmm.” Lily gently nodded her head.
This was the first time Lily had traveled far from home, let alone to a different world. She did not have much life experience, so she could only rely on Justin’s suggestions.
After their discussion, they walked through the fishing village along the dirt path.
They did not go far before Lily accidentally slipped and almost sprained her ankle as she was still in her high heels and jeans.
She was initially wearing a wedding gown and though she bought some clothes to change before coming to the New World, she had forgotten about her shoes.
The New World was still stuck in the ancient era where the locals used dirt roads, hence Lily could not move properly in her high heels.
“Lily, are you alright?” Justin panicked and squatted down in front of Lily to rub her ankles.
“It’s… It’s fine.” Lily gritted her teeth with a determined look. “I’m fine.”
What was a little pain as long as she could find Darryl?
Justin’s heart started aching as he said, “Lily, wait for me here. I’ll be back soon.” He then ran toward the fishing village.
He came back not long after with a pair of flat shoes at hand.
He laughed while approaching Lily. “You won’t be able to move comfortably in those high heels. It’ll be much more comfortable walking if you change into these.”
Justin bent down and passed Lily the shoes while still profusely sweating.
Lily was touched as she gently said, “Thank.. Thank you. Did you buy it from the fishermen?”
“I…” Justin was embarrassed as he scratched his head and chuckled. “I stole it.”
