Chapter 309 I Didnt Have Any Privacy (1/2)

As I was trying to think of a place where we could eat dinner, Alice suggested a place where we could go, so we decided to head there.

I have some reservations about what kind of restaurant she would choose, but since it’s Alice who wants to have a fancy dinner, it’s unlikely that she will lead us to a joke of a restaurant.

Rather, I have a feeling that she would lead us to a very high-class restaurant for nobles.

[Well, isn’t it fine. Kaito-san earned a lot of money earlier, so please luxuriously treat me.]

[……U- Unnn. Well, that’s fine……]

[Don’t worry about it, we’re going to a decent store, okay?]

[No, it’s not like that……]

Walking next to me, Alice began talking with a bright smile on her face and I responded to her with a rather doubting expression on my face.

U- Unnn. To tell the truth, I’m feeling bothered right now. What I’m worried about wasn’t actually dinner. No, it may be a bit related, but that isn’t the main thing as to why I’m troubled.

[What’s the matter? You have quite the strange look on your face.]

[……Why, you ask…… Well, I mean…… Since when have you been wearing a “dress”……]

Yes, what I’m questioning about was Alice’s current outfit.

Until just a few minutes ago, I’m pretty sure she was in her usual outfit, the functional, long-sleeved, long-pants outfit that has multiple pockets.

However, right after I took my eyes off her for a moment, before I knew it, Alice had changed into a dress.

A cute dress with laces of pale-orange…… honey color, and matching with Alice’s bright blonde hair, it looks really good on her.

Moreover, maybe because I don’t see her in such an outfit that much, as seeing a different side of her makes my heart beat fast…… Well, the mask on her face makes it look like she’s off to participate in a masked ball though……

[Isn’t it cute?]

[W- Well, it certainly is…… No, that’s not it! I’m asking you why you’re wearing a dress……]

Yes, I won’t mind the fact that she had changed her outfit in an instant. After all the things that I had seen her capable of doing, I don’t think it would be strange that if Alice wants to do so, she could come back home and change her outfit in less than a second.

However, Alice, who had been dressed as usual on our date, is now wearing different clothes…… That should mean that there is some reason for it……

[Eh? That’s because the place we’re going to have a “dress code”.]

[……Eh?]

Dress code…… A restriction for clothing.

They are mainly used for weddings, funerals, and high-class French restaurants…… Simply put, it means you have to dress nicely to attend.

Compared to ceremonies, I remember hearing that the dress code of a restaurant from one restaurant to another…… but I wonder if my current clothing is appropriate?

A white shirt, a thin black, loose-fitting jacket, and jeans-like pants…… I’m kinda doubting it.

[……There’s a dress code?]

[Yes. It’s a pretty strict store, so “semi-formal” clothing is standard there.]

[……………….]

Semi-formal…… Ahh, this is no good, I’ll probably be shooed away in the door.

Even though there are some differences in the outfits here from Japan, I’m quite sure that semi-formal attire is second only to formal attires…… And I’m sure that it was only a level where everyday attire won’t do at all.

In short, my current outfit would be a complete out.

[……It doesn’t look like I will be able to get in, so why don’t we go to another place?]

[Fufufu, it’s alright…… I thought that this might happen! Ta-da! I have prepared a suit for Kaito-san!]

[……I’m quite clear you premeditated this.]
