Chapter 94

“Wow.”

It’s pretty.

I mean the dress is pretty.

“Hehe… It was a bit sudden, but I still worked hard on it. What do you think?”

“It’s pretty.”

It seems the Imperial Princess doesn’t entrust things to just anyone.

I’ve seen dresses worn by nobles before during Kyle’s debutante, but this one looks definitely prettier.

No, the word “pretty” isn’t enough.

“Owner, this is amazing.”

It was primarily black with beautiful white patterns in the middle.

The corset around the waist was also black to match the overall color, which gave a slightly sexy impression.

“Would you like to try it on?”

“Yes.”

I wasn’t someone who paid extreme attention to fashion, but this was definitely worth trying on.

It also had little exposure, so there would be no embarrassment wearing it.

At most, only the shoulders were exposed.

It was no different from the exposure of wearing an off-shoulder.

No, back then the skirt was a bit short, but this time the skirt was long, so it can be said they’re completely different.

“You there, Duke? Would you come help her put it on?”

“Yes.”

Kyle followed the owner’s request and had to help me put on the dress.

“Wait!”

There was a problem.

A huge problem.

The owner was clearly misunderstanding our relationship.

It was obvious she was seeing us as a couple close enough to have no reservations about showing each other’s bodies.

That’s why she asked Kyle to help me put on the dress.

“Um… I’ll put it on roughly first… then call you after.”

“?”

“I’m a bit too embarrassed to show my body…”

I had to wear smaller underwear than usual and put on the dress, but to show such an appearance… it was very embarrassing.

Extremely so.

The owner said she understood and had Kyle step out for a moment.

Then, after taking off my clothes, I changed into the underwear used for wearing dresses.

I was a bit embarrassed as the owner seemed to be looking at my large breasts while I was undressing… but I tried not to mind.

Since the owner’s breasts were quite small…

“…”

“…”

“Shall we roughly try on the dress first?”

“Ah, yes.”

Only after I specifically brought it up did the owner move again.

She took the dress that was hanging and roughly put it on me.

She didn’t properly do the corset, just put it on very roughly.

And then Kyle came in.

“Duke, please handle the corset and adjust things from behind. If it’s difficult, I can do it.”

“No. I’ll do it.”

“Okay~”

I stood completely still in a proper posture.

If I moved while the dress was being put on, it might not look good.

I stood still between the owner who was arranging the dress and Kyle who was behind me.

“Ugh…”

“Does it hurt? Should I loosen it a bit?”

“No, it’s…”

While Kyle was handling the corset, a sound escaped from my mouth.

Since the sound came out while he was tightening the corset, Kyle understood it as me making a sound because it was too tight.

“Your breath… keeps touching my neck…”

But that wasn’t why I made the sound.

To handle the corset, Kyle was behind me, and his breath was touching the nape of my neck.

That’s why I made the sound.

“Ah.”

“Stand a bit further away when you do it. I know you like me, but… we can’t keep doing this while putting on a dress, right?”

“Yes.”

Kyle, who had been completely pressed against me, moved slightly away and began to arrange the back of the corset and dress.

“Hmm…”

One thing for sure is that a corset is uncomfortably difficult.

It tightens the waist and makes the breasts look bigger, so it can’t be helped.

Of course, I didn’t need that, so I just did it roughly.

Just enough to make the dress look pretty.

“Huh…”

“What’s wrong?”

“I’m jealous.”

The owner suddenly saying she’s jealous of me.

What could she be jealous of?

Ah, could she be jealous of me being with Kyle like this?

That could be the case.

She’s a commoner like me, but I’m dating Kyle.

Although it’s temporary.

“How can you have a narrow waist with such large breasts…”

“Ah.”

So it wasn’t that.

I thought any woman would be most interested in a man like Kyle.

That’s a relief.

“Haha…”

“Why was I… born with gum-like breasts…”

“…”

The owner’s expression darkened.

With a darkened expression, the owner suddenly began to mutter to herself.

“Inotonly havesmallbreastsbutalsonarrowinsideorisitbecausemy mindissmallthatmybreastsaresmalltoowoulImybreastsbeasbigas mypersonalityifIhadabetterpersonalitynoIguessthatsCan’tbethecasesincemymomandgrandmahavesmallbreaststoowhydidIstartthisjobsoIgetdepressedwhenevertimeIseecustomersbreastsishouldhavestartedave getableshopinsteadormoreexactlyIfwhenIMperialPrincesscame Ishouldhavetakenatiecommendedstrangeclothestoeliminatethechanceofmeetingpeoplewithlargebreasts.”

“…”

“…”

The owner’s sudden rapid-fire rap.

Kyle and I just closed our mouths and stayed quiet.

It felt like if we said anything strange here, we might get stabbed…

Of course, before that happens, our Kyle would handle it well.

“Ah, I’m sorry. So, how is it?”

And the owner returned to a more normal state.

Looking at the owner, I felt relief that she had returned, but also a bit of fear.

She switches back and forth too quickly…!

“It’s pretty.”

Anyway, it was pretty.

Really.

That was the thought I kept having as I looked in the mirror.

I didn’t know before trying it on, but once I wore it, I didn’t think it was bland at all.

Rather, because there was no exposure of anything, I thought it was even prettier.

“Kyle, what do you think? Isn’t it really pretty?”

I said while twirling the long skirt of the dress.

This is kind of fun.

Since the skirt is long, it floats up when I twirl…

“It’s pretty.”

“Right?”

Kyle also said it was pretty.

Yes, this is better than a dress with a lot of exposure, right?

I didn’t ask directly, but Kyle probably agreed.

This kind of dress is prettier than those lewd dresses, I’m telling you.

“Sofia is.”

“Huh?”

“The dress is pretty too, but Sofia wearing such a dress is even prettier.”

“…”

How should I react when someone suddenly says something like that?

I felt a bit of embarrassment and joy.

It was natural to feel somewhat happy since I was complimented, and I couldn’t help feeling a bit embarrassed since he said it in front of the owner.

“Ah, is even this not okay?”

“N-no… that’s fine…”

I don’t think it broke the rules.

I just… didn’t say anything because I was a bit embarrassed.

“Am I that pretty…?”

I just asked again out of curiosity.

To me, the dress looked prettier.

“Yes.”

And Kyle answered without changing his expression at all.

That’s how I could tell that what Kyle was saying wasn’t a lie.

Is that why?

I felt my face getting hot.

How can he express his inner feelings so easily?

I don’t even properly know my own feelings.

“…”

“Sofia.”

“Y-yes?!”

I was startled when Kyle suddenly called me.

Well, it wasn’t really sudden, but I was lost in thought, so I was surprised.

“Um… could you try on the other dress too?”

“… You don’t mean that one?”

“Yes.”

The dress Kyle requested was clearly that revealing, lewd dress.

His expression was somewhat cautious.

It must be because he knew I was reluctant to wear that dress.

But… I was in a very good mood right now.

Good in many ways.

“Hmm… Owner? Can I wear it right now?”

“Of course!”

The owner also says it’s possible right away.

I’m saying it nicely.

It’s not because I have extremely good feelings toward Kyle, but just because today I’m speaking nicely and kindly.

“Wait here. I’ll come out after changing.”

I went inside with the owner.

Inside, I took off the black dress I was wearing and changed into the new black dress.

“Ha…”

And after changing, I felt a bit of regret.

It really seems too lewd…

“But… since I said I would wear it…”

I had already spoken.

I had already put it on.

But it was a truly embarrassing outfit.

It wasn’t just at the level of showing cleavage.

It was just fucking lewd…

“Phew…”

I exhaled deeply.

I needed quite a lot of mental preparation to show this to Kyle.

“Since I’ll only show it once and then change…”

Yes, there’s no need to be embarrassed.

It’s just a small reward for Kyle who has been acting nicely and prettily lately.

I’ll just show it briefly and then change back into normal clothes, that’s all.

“How is it…?”

With that thought and determination, I came out of the room.

As I came out, the only one looking at me was Kyle, but despite that? No, precisely because of that, I was more embarrassed.

“…”

“Hey, say something…”

I was really extremely embarrassed.

What was the person who first designed such clothes thinking?

And what about the owner who made these clothes at Kyle’s request…

“Sofia.”

“Yes…?”

“I like it.”

“T-that… you’ve already said that many times…”

“It’s because you’re really too pretty.”

Am I… that pretty?

No, it doesn’t seem to be to that extent…

“I’m just wearing it because you’ve been acting nicely lately. There’s no other reason. Got it?”

“Yes.”

It was true.

I’m not some fool thirsting for Kyle’s compliments, and I wouldn’t wear this just because Kyle complimented a dress once…?

“But… am I really that pretty?”

I’m just asking one more time to confirm.

He might have been lying…?

That’s just why I asked.

“Yes, you’re really pretty.”

“H… hmm… really?”

“Yes.”
