Chapter 371 She Came Up With a Good Way to Make Money (1/2)

21st Day of the Light month. The Six Kings Festival was drawing near, and today, I’m going shopping with Lilia-san.

Thinking about it, I’ve gone out with Lilia-san many times before, but this is the first time we’ve gone out alone on a date.

Also, when we stayed at the summer resort before, it felt more like we were set up……

[……I- I’m sorry to keep you waiting.]

[Ah, no…… Your clothes look great on you.]

[Y- Yes, thank you.]

Instead of the easy-to-move-in clothing Lilia-san usually wore, she was currently wearing a long skirt that barely showed her feet.

However, it wasn’t a fluffy dress, but a loose-fitting design, making it look more like stylish casual wear than a dress. Its cream color also matched Lilia-san’s blonde hair and it looked great on her.

[Well then, shall we go?]

[Y- Yes!]

[……Would you like to hold hands?]

[H- H- Hold hands!? N- No, t- t- t- that’s a bit too difficult for me…… If you could wait a bit longer……]

……Lilia-san was too nervous.

She was so flustered that she was red up to her ears. It might be rude of me to say this, but this looks a bit amusing.

Well, to be honest, I was also a bit nervous…… But people normally calm down when they see other people who are more nervous than they are, so the more nervous Lilia-san was, the more I feel comfortable enough to smile at her.

[Lilia-san, could you relax for a bit…… Let’s just take this easy and have fun.]

[Uuuu…… Y- Yes. I’m so embarrassed……]

[No, it’s fine if we get used to it at our own pace. Now then, shall we go?]

[Yes.]

After making a follow up with a wry smile on my face, I went out shopping with Lilia-san.

Even so, she’s this flustered just by going out shopping huh…… I feel like it’s going to be a long time before we could hold hands on our date……

No, I think we’ve held hands before at a summer resort…… Would it be wrong if I made her conscious of that time? Well, I’ll just let her gradually get used to it.

Even though I said we’re going to go shopping for clothes, it doesn’t really mean that we’re going around to too many stores. Lilia-san was a Duchess, so the clothes she would wear for the Six Kings Festival naturally had to be of a certain quality.

This naturally narrows down the number of stores that sell clothes suitable for the Head of a Duchess’ family.

The first store we visited today was the same one I went to buy my clothes when I first came to this world…… According to Lilia-san, this was where she often bought her clothes.

[Welcome…… If it isn’t Duchess Albert-sama. Welcome to our establishment.]

[I’d like to have some formal wear…… No, something a bit more casual.]

[Understood. Please wait for a moment.]

The clothes we were buying today are the clothes we were going to wear during the Six Kings Festival.

We would certainly be attending a party on the last day of the festival, but it would be uncomfortable to spend the other six days in formal wear. On the other hand, if we were to wear clothes that were too casual, it wouldn’t be good when we met other nobles.

So, we came here to buy clothes that were somewhere between casual and formal wear.

When Lilia-san expressed her request, the clerk politely thanked her and moved to the back of the store and returned with several pieces of clothing.

[This one is the latest design we have and it also has a luxurious feel. Its white color is very beautiful, so it’s easy to match it with accessories……]

[Hmmm. However, it looks like it would be difficult to “swing a sword around” in this.]
