Vol 5 Chapter 3 (2/2)

Schnee was already a beautiful woman to begin with, but her beauty rose by one more rank when she dressed-up. Seeing her like this for the first time, s.h.i.+n was charmed by her.

Both Tiera-san and Schnee-san are wearing dresses. The dresses that you two are wearing, are they traditional dress for elves or something?

Eh? Oh, I just borrowed this dress. Is the design unusual?

Theyre pretty rare. Ive studied clothing a lot on my own because I think Id like to do clothes-related work. Most of them are very similar designs for some reason.

Kaede was an elf brought up in Balmel. She didnt know what clothing styles might be normal at the elves garden well.

Though Holly was a High Elf too, she might not have such knowledges due to her being a former player.

What Holly owned was made by players, but Kaede seeing the dresses of various designs seemed to be fascinated by them. Kaede herself was wearing a simple yellow one-piece dress. It matched Kaedes character and created a good atmosphere as well.

While they were talking, the carriage pa.s.sed through the gate. They were near the destination. Inside the carriage, was s.h.i.+n, Schnee, Tiera, the Kurosawa family and the two animals, Yuzuha and Kagerou. Kagerou was as usual inside Tieras shadow. Yuzuha was also at its usual position, on top of s.h.i.+ns head.

Because there would be many adventurers attending the party too, the dress code seemed fairly flexible, with many different kinds of attire as evidence. There were also many who seemed to recognize that s.h.i.+n was an upper cla.s.s Chosen One too.

Before long, the carriage stopped.

If one looked at the front near Holly and Shadow, Hibineko could be seen taking Kaedes hand. Mimicking Hibineko, s.h.i.+n also held out his hand to help Schnee get off the carriage. Though hed often seen things like this in movies, no one was aware of how very embarra.s.sed s.h.i.+n was to do it for real.

Young lady, please give me your hand. Or something like that..

Fufu, thank you very much.

Did Schnee want to play along? She took s.h.i.+ns hand while smiling wryly.

Was it because similar scenes were unfolded around them? s.h.i.+n seemed to be able to speak the lines smoothly now.

Now the next young lady as well.

How should I say this, it doesnt seem to suit you.

Dont say that!

Unlike Schnee, Tieras held her mouth to keep herself from laughing.

When everyone had descended, they went to the a.s.sembly hall.

Will you escort me too?

If you are fine with me.

Schnee causally linked her arm with s.h.i.+n. Then the other arm was also being pulled.

Of course, it was Tiera.

Are you really going to make me go alone? Since your other arm is available too, let me use it as well, okay?

Is it alright?

Because Tiera and I are both pretending to be your fiance today, isnt it fine?

You are blessed by two beautiful women, you know? Might as well enjoy it.

Because both Schnee and Tiera were in unusually good moods, s.h.i.+n stopped talking about it. There was no need to be a downer.
