Chapter 46 Fashion Show 2 (1/2)
Zero could manage the fourth outfit himself. It was a comfortable sleepwear called pyjamas. It really was a squirrel onesie though. All Zero had to do was slip his legs in and pull up the zipper all the way. He didn't have to worry about feeling cold as the only thing exposed was his face. Then again, the hood was really large so Zero didn't think it was possible to feel cold at all.
The next outfit was something more normal. It was the same thing that Zero had worn to the Mega Gourmet competition. This time, the shirt had been cleaned and showed a lovely sky blue. It had collars and some buttons at the top but luckily, Zero didn't have to deal with them. He left two buttons open and slipped his head through the hole. The long pants were called jeans and this outfit came with sneakers. Those strings called shoelaces were tricky to tie. Even after three times of demonstration, Zero still couldn't understand how to tie them right. Also, it was difficult to tell the left shoe from the right. He had to take them off and swap them after Truen noticed how he walked funny. The goddesses nodded in approval and had quickly changed to the next set.
By now, Zero was used to seeing clothes that covered him from top to toe. However, the new outfit was something close to the underwear he wore on the inside of all those clothes.
”I don't need to wear underwear in this?”
Truen chuckled and shook his head. ”No, this is a bathing suit.”
”But it's just a tiny short!”
The wood elf sighed. ”Yes, it is. This is meant for you to go in the water. If you wore more, it would be very heavy and difficult to swim.”
Zero was confused but Truen promised that he will take him swimming one day so that Zero will have the chance to understand why a bathing suit was necessary.
The goddesses passed Zero some bulky but light plastic devices called 'floats' and a strange eyewear called goggles to pose for the pictures. Zero didn't protest, only wanting to finish trying the rest of the clothes and take a break.
They got to the last outfit finally but the sight of it stunned both Truen and Zero. It was a pink frilly dress paired with dainty high heels and a blonde wig.
”Uh, goddesses? I think there was a mistake with the order. This is a girl's dress.”
Freya only smiled. ”No, it's not.”
