episode_0337

I already knew what Joey was trying to do to me.

She told me this herself, but it was one of the Joy-related events in the game.

We go out on the street, pick out clothes for each other to wear, and play around wearing them.

This wish, which seemed trivial on the outside, was a earnest wish for Joy.

Joey may be clumsy, but he’s not stupid.

I understand very well my position as the duke’s daughter,

They are aware of how their position is perceived by others, and

He also understands well how his every word may be viewed by many ladies.

Despite her appearance as a villainess, she had the soul of a timid high school girl and was not the type of person who would try to achieve her wishes by making others uncomfortable.

Her wish, which she had dreamed of from the moment she saw it in a book, had no choice but to remain a wish even as nearly ten years passed.

Until I met the player in the game, now me.

Knowing this background, I decided to gladly comply with Joy’s wish.

If you can bring laughter to a girl who had no choice but to be alone despite being surrounded by people, what can’t you do?

“Now! Lady! I need you to call me by my name today!”

My decision became even stronger the moment I saw her smiling mischievously as she came to see me early in the morning.

As I looked at Joy, who covered the upturned corners of her mouth with a fan, I realized why I made her my favorite character.

‘Is calling you by name enough? joy?’

“Hmm. Are you satisfied with just calling you by your name? joy? Really?”

“Of course! What more could you ask for!”

‘For that matter…’

“Strange? Aside from that, it seems like you showed a lot of desire not long ago? Is my memory wrong?”

“Because I was half asleep at that time.”

‘Sister Joy.’

“Joy unni.”

“…c. Could you please do it again?”

‘I don’t like it?’

“When will you not need it? Why did he suddenly change his words? huh? I’m really curious.”

“That’s it. So ah…”

After teasing Joy a lot, who was holding a fan with both hands and covering her puffy face.

‘Fabe. Just before…’

“A poor saint. It was just a moment ago. When I call Joy unni, she feels completely shy. Contrary to how it looks, isn’t it too pure?”

“Hehe. Isn’t it because you are so cute that you thought you would like to have a younger sister like this?”

‘How can you say that…’

“Joy. This is what the saintess thinks. What about you? Did you want to have a cute little sister like me? Is that so?”

“…Please stop.”

After meeting with Fabi and talking about what had just happened and making fun of Joey again, I headed to the place where the teleportation group was located to move to the capital city street.

“Ah. really. Youngae. Could you possibly bring Professor Carl? I need someone to carry my clothes.”

I couldn’t understand what Joey said.

Why do we need someone to help us carry our clothes when our physical capabilities far exceed those of the average person?

No, even if you buy a lot of clothes that are burdensome, you can just put them in your subspace pocket.

When I said this question out loud, Joy and Fabi exchanged glances and then looked down at me with happy eyes and burst into laughter.

“You will find out when you go there. Youngae.”

The first store we visited after arriving at Sudo Street was a large clothing store that Joy often visited.

“Oh my! Lady Patran! Welcome!”

As if the story about her being a regular customer wasn’t a lie, the owner of the clothing store ran over with a smile on his face as soon as he saw Joy’s face.

“It’s been a while since I saw you, Saint. and. …Lady Aln?”

The moment his gaze landed on my face, my bright face turned blue.

…How on earth did Lucy in the past mess up to show such blatant dislike?

I, who was used to receiving hateful looks, resignedly shrugged my shoulders, but the other two did not.

“Mrs. I’m sure you didn’t make that look because you were annoyed by my friend, right?”

There is coldness in Joy’s expression.

It’s not like the villainess-like face that usually comes naturally. Sharp eyes intended to truly put pressure on the opponent.

The store owner, who received that gaze directly, shook his head while breaking into a cold sweat.

“No! It can’t be! but. that. The lady I knew before.”

“Mrs.”

The store owner’s words, which were trying to explain Lucy’s past mistakes, were cut off by Faby’s words.

The store owner hangs his mouth in silence in front of his eyes that are as soft as usual and his voice that is so firm that you can’t imagine them coming from those eyes.

“I don’t know what kind of person the Lady of the past was, but the Lady of the present is not like that. I guarantee this.”

“Me too. Mrs.”

The daughter of the Duke of Patran’s family and the saint of the main church expressed the same opinion, but there was no one who could refute it.

The owner of the clothing store could only shake his head with a pale face.

“Back to the main topic. Ms. I would like to give clothes to Lady Aln as a gift. Are there any clothes that suit this person?”

“Water. Sure! Lady Patran! What kind of clothes wouldn’t go well with someone as cute and beautiful as this young lady?”

The store owner, whose voice was almost like a scream, took the knife next to us and hurriedly headed inside the store.

“I don’t like it. You’re trying to judge the young lady based on what happened in the past.”

“It’s a shame. No matter what their past sins were, people can change.”

uh.

hmm.

It’s good that you guys take my side.

In this situation, isn’t the store owner the victim and I the perpetrator?

No matter how much I think about it, I think it’s unfair on that side.

I can’t bring myself to say anything because I’m afraid of your eyes staring at the place the store owner left, but I think this is tyranny by those in power.

Then even if there are strange rumors going around, I don’t know?

Isn’t it my fault if something like the controversy over the saint’s abuse of power arises?

When the store owner came back with the knife, I couldn’t help but exclaim.

There were so many clothes in Karl’s arms that they went beyond the top of his head.

Wow. This is why you need someone to carry your clothes.

I’m sure it would be difficult in many ways if I didn’t have a strong servant.

“Mrs. Is this all?”

“No! It can’t be! What kind of place is our store?”

Eh?

This isn’t everything?

There’s more than this?!

Even if it’s for three people, I think that’s more than enough?!

Even if you’re stupid, the duke’s daughter is still the duke’s daughter.

The scale is different.

“I’m glad. Then please send an attendant to help. First, I’ll try putting those on the lady.”

“I understand. Lady Patran.”

…what?

I think I heard something strange just now.

Are you trying those on me first?

Aren’t the three people sharing the clothes?

‘excuse me. joy?…’

“Joy. Are you going to try dressing me in all that mountain of clothes? Did I say something wrong like an idiot?”

“What are you kidding? Lady? The lady who had many different clothes in the past is like this… Ah. Are you saying we shouldn’t try it on? Do not worry. That’s for later.”

no! It’s not like that!

Don’t misunderstand! joy!

Do you really want to try wearing all those clothes?!

It would take a whole day just to change clothes!

“Joy. Just a moment.”

okay! Fabi!

As befits a saint, say a scathing word to the nobleman who practices extravagance!

“You’re not just going to look at the clothes in this store, right?”

“Why are you asking the obvious? Isn’t it ‘common sense’ to go to various clothing stores and look at designs?”

When I saw the two people laughing and talking, I realized that something was definitely wrong.

what?! Didn’t you just try on a few clothes and buy one!?

These people existed in those few lines?!

ah. Come to think of it, by the time the event that started in the morning ended, it had changed to night time.

I thought it was just a description of playing around all day, but I never thought it was a description of shopping for clothes all day.

I see This is the common sense of nobles.

In the room where I arrived, led by Joy and Fabi, and faced with dozens of female servants, I looked at the chandelier on the ceiling with dead eyes.

…This is hell.

“How can all the clothes match so well? As expected, it’s Youngae.”

“I was well aware of Lady Ae’s beauty, but I never thought it would be this much. I’m a little jealous.”

An hour passed like that.

“Joy. What should I do. All the designs suit you so well, I can’t choose just one!”

“Paybee. Do not worry. In that case, all you have to do is buy them all!”

Three hours passed.

“This place isn’t great. Should I just buy this and this?”

“Joy. There is a place I saw while passing by just now…”

“There? is it so. Then go there this time…”

Five hours have passed.

“Phew. It was a satisfying day.”

“I will never forget today.”

Only after the sunset appeared in the sky was I able to escape from being a dress-up doll.

How many clothes did you wear just today?

Even if a fashion model had a slave contract, I don’t think she would work out this kind of schedule, right?

As I was replenishing my sugar intake with snacks, thinking that I would definitely collapse when I got back to the dormitory, I suddenly remembered one fact.

‘joy. one thing..’

“Stupid Joy. Haven’t you forgotten one thing?”

“Me? There could be such a thing… Ah! right! I should have asked you to choose my clothes!”

Joy, who was lamenting that she had forgotten because she had fun dressing me up in various clothes, frowned and thought about it before suddenly raising her head.

What. What. Are you sure you don’t want to go to the clothing store again?

I’m really having a hard time right now!

If you move around any longer, you’ll get exhausted!

“Lady Aln. Lady, you must listen to whatever I ask of you today. Right?”

‘…right?’

“But why?”

“Make a promise! My clothes later! no. Fabie and I decided to pick out dresses to wear! If you break your promise, you’ll have to go shopping for clothes one more time!”

…What a vicious nobleman.

I never thought they would pull a trick like this using a blank contract.

Yes you bitch! Aren’t you afraid of the revolution my mace will cause?

In just one day, I can start a revolution!

“It’s a command! Nod your head quickly!”

– Tiring.

okay!

You just have to promise!

You’re like a stooge of a nobleman!

Are you still a god?!

Just wait and see! If a revolution breaks out later!

…ah. Then my head will start flying.

Because I’m a complete idiot and a nobleman.

Following the threat of a penalty, I had no choice but to nod my head and frown when I saw Joy smiling in satisfaction.

ha. shit. I never thought having no rights would be such a sad thing.

‘joy. where…’

“Joy. Poor saint. Tell me where you will wear the clothes I picked out for you.”

Still, since I made a promise, I have to keep it.

It’s been a long time since I stopped playing keramajil, so I don’t know if I can do it well.

Obviously, the outfit that suits Joy best is in the eastern part…

“Of course, I will wear it at the academy’s end-of-semester party. I will brag that the clothes were chosen by the Lady.”

iced coffee. that? It’s easy there. Just go to the one that is most visible.

“Ah! right! Lady, do you have to promise to wear the clothes I chose?”

okay. That’s not a big deal.

Even though it was hard to change everything, the design itself was all good.

…But Joy. There are so many things you bought me, what should I wear?

Was there anything decided? I don’t remember much because I lost my mind in the middle.

“You forgot?! That’s too much! I cared so much! Young-ae, who is ranked first in the entire school in her first year, will be on stage, so take that into consideration!”

huh?

…

Ugh?!

stage?

What do you mean?! Is it Joy Joy?!

In first grade, the person in charge of speeches was always Arthur…

ah. right! I beat him!
