"Eon~! Ready~?" Mom shouted from the room and I slowly answered with a fast-beating heart, "Yes..."
Today was the big day, and we had worked to almost death for this event.
It was a tiring experience and just the fact that mom used to do most of those things all by herself was admirable... but she definitely deserved her na with demoness. She worked a little child like to exhaustion!
"Haaa..."
-Click.
I entered the room where my fabulously dressed mom and other ladies were helping my dear friend with her dress, and now she was ready.
"..."
And as soon as I entered the room and saw... my dear friend dressed in that gorgeous dark pink dress that matched her eyes perfectly... this feeling was ineffable.
"Huhu. Look at that. He's speechless~." Aunt Aug chuckled with her mouth covered with a fan. She looked beautiful in her green dress, as always.
"Hehehe. Isn't she gorgeous Eon~? We did our best!" Aunt Haze also cheerfully expressed her cheerful feelings and my dear mom, dressed in the most 'lavish' looking red-black dress, followed behind them, "Congratulations Elle. You have succeeded in making my ever-cool Eon flustered~!"
I definitely was flustered. She looked... just too gorgeous in that bright pink dress. Far more than the purple dress she wore during our tea party in the past.
It was...
"Ahem. Less staring dear," mom fucked a low cough, and I blinked for the first ti. I was too obvious when staring at her.
The three of them were chuckling at this behavior they were seeing for the first ti from . But my heart was helping calm down quickly.
"Ahum! Y-yes. You look good Rein." I admired her and t her gaze for the first ti... but she had the sa reaction as .
She was also just staring at with a visibly red blush on her pretty face, which didn't need makeup to be enhanced to this level.
'Adorable as always...'
I smiled, but she still didn't answer and after the mont of unexpected silence from her, the ladies finally looked at her and grasped that she was more flustered than .
"Elleee~? We worked so hard and you...?" Aunt Haze shook her head in defeat and the other two of them had similar reactions. Mom even looked as if she had lost a bet... which she definitely did.
'Wearing this difficult thing worked, hehe...'
Rein was far more flustered than . Enough that she was almost frozen in her place and only ca to her mind when mom actually shook her.
Then she finally looked at them and then at and saw the smirk on my face...
"I win," I said and walked before them as the husbands of the three ladies, the n's group, entered the room.
"Yeahhhhh~! Good work Eon~!" Dad shouted cheerfully and the other two were the sa.
"I knew my amazing nephew would shock his friend! I knew this kind of clothes work~!" uncle Theo was out of his forever dignified persona and was cheerfully hugging my dad and uncle El.
That was quite a rare sight... but, an even more fascinating one was my dear uncle El.
"Hahaha! See! We can be pretty enough to make ladies speechless too! Hahaha!"
He actually said it while sticking out his tongue in a mocking tone. Sothing too unlike his normally careful and calculating self.
But that expression of his most definitely succeeded in earning the rare angry face of my aunt Aug.
"Of course, any lady would be flustered if a pretty face like Eon would dress so well! And with that hair and glasses...! Even I would be speechless if you appear before out of nowhere dressed like that!"
Oh, she was gorgeous alright. But this rare sweet anger made one of the pillars of high society even more attractive.
"Yes! And you dear! It's not just the clothes that make one breathtaking! The mont was just right too! Plus the fresh flowery scent! You used Lavandra Gwone Allen! That's cheating!"
It was aunt Haze shouting at uncle Theo.
Apparently, uncle Theo was best when it ca to manly grooming, clothing, and overall appearance.
He helped with all this dressing after the ladies and the three of them made this bet about 'ladies would always make the n flustered when they dress so well.'
The three n showed pretty strong oppression to this and argued that the n (I) can make the ladies (Rein) speechless with just appearance, too.
And on this important day, mom was naturally pretty fired up and dad was the sa because it involved ...
So, we were here now. And the three couples were in a heated argunt.
"Those glasses... damn, that was a good one. Ok, I lost this one. Here. And lem try those," Rein said with a defeated sigh and asked to show her the specs I was wearing while handing 'our' black coin.
"Thanks. I didn't think it would escalate this way."
I was surprised at how they were arguing with a smile on their faces. It was a rare occasion, so they just wanted to enjoy each other.
"Typical adult stuff. They will certainly end this with a hug, kiss, or slap in a bit. Anyway, how do I look?"
She was wearing my specs, which were pretty normal, with just a sleek golden fra. But the difference, it made to one's appearance...
"Holy mother nature... is this an artifact that increases charm or sothing?!"
Blood instantly rushed to my cheeks as soon as I saw her with those specs. I was also standing right before her, so it was even more effective...
"They are yours, dummy. And hmm... I don't think they are an artifact. But now that I look at you... they certainly make a lot of change, don't they?"
"Yes they most certainly do, ma'am... it's like you have beco more elegant and sophisticated."
Can so simple glasses make such an absurd change? Or was this so sort of world sorcery...?
"Hmmm... here. I don't like them too much so your win is fair. And it's already ti for departure. Shouldn't we stop them?"
She looked actually AMAZING in them, but she didn't like the glasses much, so we can't do anything about this.
But we at least didn't have to stop the arguing couples.
"Let's just go. Anna and others would be ready so we can play with them until they finish and co there."
We would be going there via horse carriages, so Anna was already in the garden playing with the horses.
Celes was with her and we had great difficulty convincing her that we can't bring the povpoi children and they would have to stay here.
I knew it would be lonely being all by themselves, but the knights, servants, and grandpa Zhen would be here, so they had good company.
So... it would be fine. It was only for today and Mave understood it. She said they would be ok, so I wasn't worried about them.
It would be alright... so I politely asked for her hand and she smiled warmly.
"Say, darling..." she accepted my hand, and we started walking towards the front door. Everyone should be gathered there.
I looked at her smiling face and she continued, "Let's do this thing again during the ball. You will lose this ti, though. Glasses won't work again."
"Sure. We will see about that." I answered with the sa warm smile and we reached the front garden.
Anna was dressed in a blue dress, which was naturally covered by cute white ribbons.
This dress, just like all our clothes, had a temperature maintenance enchantnt, so despite the snow-covered place and chilly winds, she was happily patting the white horses.
They were already close to her as their master, the uncle that I was seeing after an entire week.
He was the sa person that was taking us ho, taking us here, a few years back.
He was also a part of that tragedy like us, and he had felt guilty about that incident.
Calming him down was difficult when I t him for the first ti while preparing for the event and calming his openly crying self was genuinely difficult.
Things were good now and Anna was loving the gorgeous [White wind horses].
They were a rare species. Difficult to ta, but so of the most beautiful ones that could be used as a mount.
They were gorgeous... but when Celes told Anna that we had arrived; she looked at us and cheerfully started running towards .
I caught her, gently threw her in the air, used wind magic and circled her around the garden, and then caught her when she was content with this flying.
She was cute, the most beautiful one, and today would be so of the rare occasions she actually gets out of the house, so she was super excited.
But unlike her previous outings, she didn't have to wear so heavy necklaces or artifacts.
I had given her one special divine artifact ring, and it had more options other than just changing appearance. And I knew she liked it more than those previous artifacts.
She also had Mr. Rice who was always with her in a unique form, like the small dress decoration right now, and one of Celes's clones, so her safety was perfectly impenetrable.
She would be safe, so that was fine, and... it was finally ti.
There were three golden carriages with our family's insignia and they were huge too, so were ready.
Everyone was also here aside from the three couples and our smart Uto had learned miniaturization from Taika in this short ti, creating it as a skill so she was small enough that she could stay in Alf's pocket.
Carla was wearing her usual swordsman attire while my aweso grandparents looked freaking amazing!
So, everything was ready and the three couples ca out after a while too. Of course with different 'evidence' of slap, kiss, or hug.
Anyway... it was ti to finally see one of the six great structures that one could easily recognize if they fly over this vast capital city.
'Hiraani...'
