Chapter 116: Preparing for the Festival
The ring gave of a small glow that felt like nature’s embrace before it receded.
"Seems like the ring accepted it. Well, off ye go then, ye need te prepare fer the Winter Advent." Harmur comnted.
I thanked him and everyone else greatly for their help with this project. They all appreciated it and just said that they were happy to even be part of such a monuntal project, even if they didn’t do much.
With the ring now ready to be gifted, all that was left was to get myself ready for The Winter Advent.
And that ant getting myself ready, and the first step to doing that was.
A bath.
I needed a bath because I hadn’t had one in over a week, combined with the fact that I was stuck in a slly workshop practically the whole ti, I slled real bad right now, so I headed ho as soon as possible.
And on my way ho, I decided to check out what the ring did.

It was rather impressive, although it had less stat increases than my own items, but the other benefits it gives more than make up for it. Also seems like Loki doesn’t want anyone knowing what he’s done for so reason. I don’t wanna make him angry so I won’t say anything.
When I got ho Ayuri confird that I indeed stunk.
"Ugh... Forgive
mistress, but you sll awful. I suggest that you take a bath as soon as possible." She said while pinching her nose.
I smiled wryly at her words as I knew that. I went into the bathroom and had several showers before taking a nap for a few hours in the bath.
When I woke up, Ayuri was ready with a towel in hand. I got out and she dried
off. I then got into a simple pink shirt with flower patterns dotted all over it as well as a frilled blue skirt.
There were still a couple of days left before the festival so I would be spending those days getting prepared.
And the first step to doing so, is to pick out so new clothes to wear for the occasion.
I took Ayuri with
and headed over to the comrcial district, which is where most of the tailors were.
As we made our way over there, I asked Ayuri if she had any recomndations on which store we should go to, and she suggested that we go to a place called ’The Sapphire Needle’.
Soon we arrived at the shop Ayuri recomnded and found that it was packed with other custors, likely doing last minute orders like I am. I wondered if we should even bother going in or not until Ayuri spoke up.
"I would suggest that you go in and see if they have any staff available to tend to you as, despite them looking busy, I know for a fact that they aren’t as busy as they seem."
’If you’re sure.’
With my maids encouragent, I entered the store and was imdiately greeted with a bustling crowd of custors and employees, all of which were buzzing about the place, trying several sets of clothes at a ti.
Before I could get a better look at what was going on, I was greeted by one of the stores attendants, who was a futa boar-kin, wearing a scandalously scanty uniform that accentuated the bulge in her shorts and left her boobs spilling out of her top.
"Welco to the Sapphire Needle, how may I help you?" She asked in the typical obligatory service tone.
I looked to Ayuri, asking her to speak for .
She stepped forward and explained why we were here. "My mistress would like to order an outfit for the upcoming festival."
"Ah yes, the Winter Advent. What kind of clothing would she like?" The attendant asked.
Ayuri looked back to
with an inquisitive gaze. I took a second to think about what kind of clothes I wanted to wear.
’I think I’d like to wear a robe of so kind. Sothing with white in it to represent winter along with a contrasting colour for both red and white.’
"Hmm, if you want a robe then we can have the base colour be white with the contrasting colour be either green, a navy blue or black. Then there’s the pattern that the complintray colour will be, if you have any specific design or even just a concept of what you want, we can work with that." The attendant advised us.
Once again, Ayuri spoke up for
as we spoke about the latter question on the way here, "I believe we will go with either the green or the blue, as for the pattern, we would like so sort of tree pattern with a serpent wrapping around it if possible."
"I see, that’s certainly a rather heft pattern to make but I’m sure we can do it by tomorrow’s end. Is there any specific fabrics you would like?" The attendant asked.
"We don’t have any in mind, is there anything you would suggest?" Ayuri asked back.
"Hmm..." The attendant took a mont to think and responded with, "Since this is for the Winter Advent, I would recomnd sothing that can keep you warm in the cold, that said, you want to wear robes. With that in mind I have a few fabrics that might interest you, they’re a bit on the pricey side but I believe that won’t be a problem for you."
"In that case, we shall accompany you to try these fabrics out."
With that, the attendant led us to a corner of the store where a bunch of fabrics were laid out randomly in several different piles. We weren’t the only ones here, as I saw so familiar faces.
"Oh, fancy eting you here." Runaq greeted.
I nodded in return.
"Here for a last-minute tailoring as well I take it?" He asked with a dry smile.
I smiled wryly in response.
"Yeah... I’ve been busy helping prepare for the festival that I had no ti to prepare any clothes." He told
why he was doing last minute preparations, and I figured I should do the sa.
’I’ve been preoccupied with making a gift for my fiancé the past couple of weeks or so, hence why I’m here now.’
"Haha! Ahh, the struggles of balancing our ti, it’s painful to find ti for them but so rewarding when we do." He sighed tiredly.
That was a feeling I could relate to.
"Mistress, we should get back to choosing the right fabric." Ayuri reminded.
’You’re right.’ I agreed, so I said the sa to Runaq, ’You should probably focus on finding your own fabric as well, I wish you luck with that.’
"And good luck to you too." He returned the gesture.
With our quick conversation over, we both returned to choosing out a fabric for our festival clothes.
