Chapter 76: Special haircut
"Wow…"
Her long hair was straight and she had them tied in a ponytail when she was fighting.
Open hair was a bother and since her hair was long, she also braided them when she was fighting long battles or was going to travel on foot for a long time.
She didn\'t get much time to look after her hair, but she loved her hair a little too much to completely ignore them, so, whenever she got some time, she trimmed them down as best as she could.
She was no professional so, in the real world, there were people that she trusted her hair with. In this world though, she never had the luxury or motivation to get such treatments that often.
Most of her time was spent in places that were far from civilizations– when she was in forests, she had to camp and hunt day and night, when she was on mountains, she had to make strong camps that could withstand the harsh weather.
When she was in deserts, she had to endure the heat and sandstorms. When she was in cold stormy areas, she had to fight against the cold and keep herself warm.
When she was deep within some ancient dungeon or labyrinth, she had no time to look after herself since her life was always on the line in those kinds of places.
In all her life in this world, she had gone to many places, traveled much more than most players have, gone to places that only she knew about, and she loved every adventure she had by herself, with her Partner, with her occasional acquaintances, and with the ones she coincidentally crossed paths with.
She rarely had done any activities like these.
A proper haircut was something she had only gotten a handful of times in all her life in this world.
But, now that she was looking at her pretty, her glowing, her fluffy and sexy hair, she couldn\'t help but feel… full.
"They are so pretty…" she touched her new hair gently, and caressed the thin brides Miss Aloha had twisted them in.
They were still flowing down her west, but they weren\'t messed up and unorganized anymore. They were well organized, moved as she moved and even when she moved around the room, moved using {Blink}, or performed some quick movements, they weren\'t hindering her anymore.
Only a few of her hair were braided in long pretty braids, many of them were making an attractive pattern independently as well as when seen as one, and they had a special shine now– a shine that they did not have often.
"Thanks, miss Aloha."
She almost got emotional seeing her pretty hair, and thanked the one who had made them like that.
This was genuinely much more than she was expecting. Much more than she wanted. And perhaps much more than she deserved.
"Huhu. Come back anytime you want. I still want to try a bunch of other things with that pretty hair."
"Hehe, I\'ll try my best."
She could not promise her, since she did not even know where this journey of hers will take her or when she will get the chance to come back to this pretty place.
But she still said she would try. So, she was definitely at least going to try her best to come back this time around.
"Oh, and thanks for that one as well."
Miss Aloha was done with both their haircuts.
And though unlike her long hair, Elio\'s styling was much simpler and plain, he somehow looked much more attractive than he did before they entered this place.
His natural light brown hair was not a mess anymore.
They were properly short now. Their raw ends were trimmed and set just the way they should, and looking at them now, she did not feel annoyed anymore.
Now, his pretty green eyes were showing more brightly. The face that they extracted the dirt and oil from was as clear as it was outside the game, with the sophisticated lines of his clean face back to the game.
"They are perfect."
"Just as they should, huhu." Discover more stories at M V L
He did not expect her to be so good with this.
She was even better than his usual stylist that he had been going to for the past five years.
The way she had carefully cut the unwanted long strands, then set the front, side, and upper sections one by one, not hindering the roots of the hair too much was just… perfect.
There was nothing for him to complain about. And there was nothing for him to criticize.
From his standards or from the standards of any artist, this was good. Great perhaps.
"Thanks for this, miss Aloha."
He bowed to her just like she had a moment ago, and expressed his thanks for not just the haircut.

"These are some of my best works, actually. But it\'s all thanks to the amazing hair you two have."
She liked their hair and she liked their story as well.
She was not going to earn money from them, but getting this amazing couple as her friends was nothing less than a fortune.
Their story was quite touching to her as well– they were good children.
"Right. You still have to look after a lot of preparations, right? You should take your leave now that we are done."
However much she wanted them to stay and have another long chat with her young friends, she had already taken a lot of their hours today.
There was an event and a festival being held in her little town and they were looking after a lot of people, a lot of work, and a lot of preparations.
"Right. We still have to eat dinner."
"We had a wonderful time here, miss Aloha. Thanks again for everything."
She knows she will get her chance someday and when that time comes, she will have them all for herself for hours…
"I had a blast as well, huhuhu~."
But for now, they had more important things they needed to look after.
