Perhaps because she fell asleep while anxious, Lelia opened her eyes early in the morning. Outside the window ca the clear sound of birds chirping.
After washing up, she went to the closet without eating the food the servant had brought her.
[Co to think of it, I dont have enough ns clothing]
Originally, she planned to leave the palace straight away after finding the ingredient in the cabin. However, to complete the sub-quest and obtain the sacred object, she had to stay for a while longer.
[Ill have to buy so clothes first.]
After coming to a decision, Lelia put on a new pair of clothes and struggled to put on a cravat.
After that, she visited Roos room.
She was going to ask Roo to go to the ns clothing store together to pick out so clothes.
Roo wore colorful clothing every ti she saw him.
At least it was better than asking Kalix, who always wears dark clothing.
***
What? Were going to go buy so clothes and you want to pick them for you? Are you kidding ? Am I your servant?
Upon hearing Lelias request, Roo imdiately lost his temper. He sat arrogantly on the sofa in his parlor room and turned his head away.
Lelia stood awkwardly and rolled her eyes while making excuses.
But I dont know much about ns clothing So Roo is the only one I can ask for help.
Isnt there Kalix? Ask him to do these annoying things.
But Roo has much better taste in clothes, right?
.
Roo, who was looking at the book, raised his head and looked at Lelia.
[This is it.]
Looking at Roos eyes, Lelia was sure.
She could read his mind just from his expression.
[Roo is flawless at hiding his thoughts but she still has an eye for it.]
Lelia seed to know how to convince Roo.
[My pride was hurt by flattery, but it couldnt be helped.]
[I really dont know anything about ns clothes.]
Its possible that she could be caught going to the ns clothing store alone. However, it was difficult to call a designer to the palace. Lelia wanted to stay as inconspicuous as possible while in the Imperial Palace.
Roo always dresses really nicely. All your clothes are colorful, so I cant help but look at them.
Well, thats the way it is I will help.
I only brought two ns suits. I think I need to buy more clothes because I have to stay here longer. I dont think anyone will doubt if Roo helps ..
Why?
[Is this not enough?]
Lelia continued with her clenched fist hidden behind her back.
If I wore the clothes Roo chooses for Wouldnt I look like a handso gentleman, just like Roo. Right? Of course, not as handso as Roo.
.
Soon he raised the corners of his mouth a little as if he were satisfied.
Well, well, Kalix would be in the way Yeah, he is more comfortable naked than wearing clothes. Like so beast.
At the end of the remark, Roo jumped up and closed the book he was reading.
Lelias flattery seed to have worked.
Suddenly
Ring!
A quest window appeared with a cheerful sound.
Roo, the most handso, has a lot of ups and downs. ()!!! Lets give him the best day ever!
Quest story progress: 0%
Below it was a list of rewards.
1 ticket for Confirmation of Favorability
1 Special Recipe Puzzle Piece
1 Lv.1 One Random Gift Box[?]
1 Alchemy Lottery ticket
The reward list was the sa as Kalixs first quest.
Its just that
What kind of quest is this?
She couldnt believe she was giving Roo a best day as part of a quest. She was already tired.
While true, she was more dumbfounded that the quest ca up at this mont in the first place.
[Youre saying that I complinted him and the favorability increased to a positive number?]
It was true.
Lelia was dumbfounded and touched the side of her head.
anwhile, Roo humd and headed to the inner room to change his clothes.
Lelia liked Roo , who hadnt changed much since they were children.
***
Roo reappeared, having changed into elegant clothes with colorful embroidery.
Because of his good physique, he looked great. Lelias clothes were much duller in comparison to his, so when she stood next to him, she felt like Roos servant.
Roo took Lelia to Kalixs room.
It was right across the hall.
Roo opened the door without knocking. Lelia was very surprised but soon stumbled in. When she thoughtlessly walked past the drawing room and followed Roo to the bedroom, she paused.
1 second, 2 seconds, 3 seconds.
Exactly three seconds later, Lelia belatedly ca to her senses and turned her back.
On the bed was Kalix, who was sleeping on his stomach while shirtless.
.
Lelia hurried to the drawing room. She felt dazed.
It was the first ti she actually saw an adult mans naked back. Its like a stone statue from a temple. She had seen similar ones in the estate, but.
Anyway, there were a lot of old-looking wounds on Kalixs back.
[Its because youve been through a lot on the battlefield.]
Lelia bit her lips in sorrow.
However, it is true that the muscles were more noticeable than the wounds.
Kalix didnt look that thick when he was dressed, but as he was lying down, she realized how strong his body was. She stared blankly out of the window to think about sothing else, but a little scuffle ca from inside.
Im not going, Im not going!
She could hear the whining voice of Kalix and the chuckling Roo.
Soon Roo, with a bright face, ca out of the bedroom.
He looked sohow refreshed.
[Is he waking up in the morning and harassing Kalix to start the day?]
Lelia thought so and escaped from the palace with Roo.
***
The place they arrived at by carriage was in the downtown area of the Imperial Capital. It was a street frequented mainly by aristocrats. Just by looking at the bricks used by the buildings on the road, she could tell that this was a street frequented by the upper class.
Lelia stood still, looking at the luxurious shops lined up on either side of her, then she entered the store in front of her when Roo told her to co quickly.
Before she went in, she glanced around and saw that this was a ns clothing store.
There was sothing she was hiding, so there was a rush of apprehension.
[It will be fine, Im with Roo.]
Fortunately, there were no custors in the store. It was still too early for the shop to be open. However, the store owner showed a very friendly smile as if ti didnt matter.
Would you mind picking out so clothes that would suit this gentleman?
At Roos words, the man nodded and approached Lelia.
!
As Lelias and the mans eyes t, the owner looked her up and down in surprise.
It wasnt a look of disrespect, it was a curious expression.
What?
When Roo asked with a wrinkled brow. The man waved his hand and said nevermind.
Then he expertly took so clothes from the racks and hung them on a wooden mannequin to show them off.
There were a total of seven outfits that the man picked out.
Each one was bright and colorful with beautiful embroidery.
Roo looked at the clothes attentively and nodded his head as if they were okay.
[I did a good job in flattering Roo.]
Roos attitude was reassuring because Lelia didnt know anything about ns clothing, or wons clothing.
I think a different cravat would be better for this outfit.
As Roo said so, the owner quickly brought a wooden tray with cravats on it.
This and this. Oh, and cufflinks with this one.
As Roo ordered this and that, a few more n busily ran around at the orders of the owner.
Its done.
Lelia looked at the clothes Roo had chosen. She really liked them all, but
Hed added cufflinks, and other things like the cravat, so the cost seed to be considerable.
[How much money would she have left after paying for all of this?]
While Lelia was contemplating this, Roo pulled sothing out of his pocket and held it to the man.
[Huh?]
Upon closer inspection, it was the currency issued by the temple.
Along with the five empires on the continent, the currencies used by the neighboring countries were all different. As a result, the temple in the center of the five empires also played a role in creating and exchanging common currency for active trade, and that was the currency Roo handed over.
[Are you going to buy it all?]
Lelia asked with her eyes, but Roo had an indifferent face.
It looked like he was really going to buy it all.
[I did a really good job of flattering him.]
Lelia thought to herself, and laughed.
Just then, a man approached her and hesitated.
I have to asure now, but
Oh.
The man pointed to one of the spacious changing rooms. It ant she had to go over there and get asured. After Lelia hesitated, Roo considered for a mont, then took the tape asure the man was holding.
Ill asure him myself.
Oh, yes. All right.
Roo took Lelia by the arm and entered the dressing room where the man had guided them. As soon as the salesman drew the curtains, Roo and Lelia were alone in the change room.
You can asure the chest and waist yourself
Ah yes.
Lelia took the tape asure that Roo had offered, and looked in the mirrors with a bewildered face. The changing room was quite large with mirrors on all three sides. It was made so it would be easier for staff to change the custors clothes.
Roo turned his back and stood facing the curtain.
If the man had taken her asurents, he wouldve had to touch Lelias chest and he might have figured out that she was a woman.
At the thought that Roo had taken care of that, Lelia felt grateful to have her friend with her.
Lelia asured her waist and chest. When she was done, she called over Roo. He took the tape asure from her.
Shoulders, upper body and legs will be asured by .
That part was difficult to asure alone, so Lelia nodded her head.
Roo took the tape asure and moved closer to Lelias side. He asured the length of her legs from Lelias waist, the length from her hip to her shoulders, and the length of her arms. Even if it was his first ti doing it, his movents were smooth, and his attitude was cautious without touching her.
But when he asured her shoulder, she could feel his fingertips touching her.
As Roos fingertips touched her left and right shoulder, she suddenly felt breathless and cramped.
.
At that mont, Lelia looked at the mirror and her gaze t Roos.
