Mei's POV
Today has finally come, the day that I, Mei Sakumo, finally step into the lady's clothing shop...
The money, soon left my pocket as I checking out the stuff that I've bought.
"Mei~! I'm really jealous of you! You look great in everything! And especially that dress! You are killing me! It's is an undeniable a must on you!"
Vinca complains and while also complimenting me at the same time. The dark aura of envious clear visible around her.
The dress she talks about, It's a lime-colored one-piece dress. It's a very unique design, there are three layers, and each one has was designed delicately.
The first or the inner layer, this is the most delicate piece of fabric I've felt in my entire life! The dress is very light and very ventilated.
The second layer is composed of insulated and heat resistant fabric. It's was covered by the third layer.
The outer and the exterior presents the overall appearance of the dress itself.
The dress was called the Garden Fairy. This one was an open shoulder and short skirt version. The cashier stated that this particular dress could shine in green when you're surrounded by trees and plants.
I purchased this dress for 300 raqs in a bundle of the Garden Fairy set.
It's come with the matching hat, pair of low heels and flipper, and lastly, the golden ribbon to tied my hair with.
Calculated.
"Mei~! Do you want to buy a swimsuit? Suran is also known for having the crystal clear sea!"
S-Swim suit?! I do not want to reveal myself! I-It's too embarrassing!
(Master! You could rely on me! Your Terri will support you no matter what the task is! Just order me!)
'Don't dare to take my little midget from me~! Mei~! I was a real woman~! How can a turtle help you become attractive~?'
(Woman? As if you are not a mass of energy! You're just a specter! Not even a speck of your dust could be viewed!)
Both of them proceed to argue back and forth, while I, on the other hand, resist the urge to bring them both out and beat them.
"Oh! Here they come! Come on~! Mei~! Let's, not our time~!"
Vinca energetically pulls me by the back of my collar and drag me faster than one could imagine, it leaves the dust cloud trailing behind.
"Yo~! Vinca and Mei! And look at you! Merely half an hour and already got yourself full of stuff!"
Risa, she was dressed in a very strange, she wears an indigo vest with a white shirt underneath and a matching indigo skirt with white trim and a pair of white sneakers?
Oh! I forgot that Vinca wears a white blouse and a black knee-length skirt and black low heels.
While I was wearing a simple indigo long sleeves shirt with a white sweater, and tight indigo jeans with a pair of matching color flippers.
Risa, and along with Clara, Rola, Quincy, and Sarah is already here.
While Sylastah and Carloe choose to goes separated way and will be waited for us at the restaurant around noon.
"G-Good forenoon to you too, Risa! Also, the other too!."
Vinca greeted them while I, feel like being watched by someone in her group.
I was trying my best to hide the extravagant dress that I've purchased.
(Master! This little goddess! she claims herself to be your savior is bullying me!)
(But you previously know the truth right? I was your rescuer at that time! And I am only on-)
'Turtle~! Turtle soup~! Allow me to have this food Mei~! I'll make sure to share it for you~'
Shut up! Both of you!
Don't ruin my time with your petty arguing! When I need your assistant, I'll call you then!
(...)
'R-Rude~!'
Ahem! now back to the present.
Risa and Vinca start talking to each other while remaining to forget about our existence.
"Let's go! Let's go! There is a shop around that corner!"
Risa calls to us and excitingly takes Vinca's hand and begins to lead us to the said store.
We slowly follow them and start our own conversation along the way.
"Hey Mei! What's in the bag?! And oh! Isn't that from the Peach's Bloomer clothing store?!"
Sarah gulped as she trying to calm her racing heart down. Quincy, adjusted her glasses as she speaks in a slightly perverted manner.
"She wanted to pleased m-master with these... I can certainly see your beauty beginning to shine..."
And they both finally entered the event horizon of a topic.
Only I and Clara are still sane.
She paces slowly behind us.
Her way of dressing is making her feel like a completely different person.
She dressed in all white dress with a piece of large white sun hat on, and a large black bow tied on her waist.
"Come on! You're so slow!"
Risa who already there, at the storefront is waving and shouting at us.
Many passersby look surprised and some noble also look disgusted but mostly, they are not paying any attention.
"Look at that girl... She's so beautiful! I wonder which family she belongs to?"
"Hey! Keep your voice down! She can hear you from there!"
"It's a compliment! Why need t-"
While walking past the other people, I could feel some men are talking and look at me, and some are trying to get close to me but thank Clara, she scared them away.
Finally, under the heat of the noble's glaze and lustful eyes of the men, we finally here, the lingerie shop...
*Ring! Ring! Ring!*
We entered the shop front and the scene of different undergarments already embed deep within my mind.
I cover my eyes while trying to calm myself down. For the rest of my time here in Drareem, I rely on my mother's help, she the one who finds me an undergarment.
Now, her help is unreachable. I trying to slowly sneak out of the store with my specialties in my attributes.
But Clara, who was the last to enter the store is blocking my only way of escape.
She looks at me with a smile and proceeds to push me back inside the store with her abnormal strength.
"Hey! I want to try this and that! Give me that Quincy!"
"It's only natural for me, the first who found this exquisite fabric has the right to have it."
Sarah and Quincy are fighting over two pieces undergarments, It's the body-sized swimming suit and a swimming skirt.
While on the other side of the store where Risa and Vinca are looking at different accessories, mainly sunglasses.
"Mei, why don't you have a look? There are several cute designs here."
I look up a little to meet Clara, she now holding a lime-colored frilly bra.
I immediately get the erotic vibe leak from Clara, her expression also turned into somewhat naughty.
Interactively, I turned away from her and move far far away from her to an isolated area where it seems like a waiting area.
I sit on the comfy sofa and look into the wooden ceiling. Slowly, the air around me starting to get hot and as soon as I noticed, I was surrounded by a pack of staff and the one behind this was, Clara...
"Please, help her get measured and pick the cutest one that fits her the most please."
"""Yes!"""
Without sparing any word for me, the staff skilly abducted me to the darkroom and striped me half-naked. I tried to cover my breasts and my crotch.
Soon the staff starts to warp a measuring tape around my breasts but I resisted.
The two staffs that are in the darkroom with me, they nodded to each other than one of them forcefully pulled my hand away, exposed my breasts to their eyes.
No moment where I really need to dig a very deep hole and sink my head in and buried. I really embarrassed and my face is blushed very violently that I could even faint from it.
Then, the tape starts to warp around my breast, waist, and hip.
And soon, the two staff released me and left the darkroom but then an Identical pair come in next.
The pair comes with a bunch of different undergarments and other accessories.
In the world, no pain was greater than having your man pride crushed by having your girl self being treated like a doll, getting stripped and dressed again and again.
***
After an eternity, having myself dressed in thousand of bra and undies, I was finally free from the torture room.
I wobbly walk out of the room and almost tripped but the staff come and support before I could trip on my foot and fall.
"..."
All of them have already done checking out their stuff and waiting for my presentation of my body.
All of them are having a nosebleed while Sarah fainted and Quincy takes her napkin and rapidly wipe her glasses clear.
Clara chuckle and smiles. I could spot a gleam of mischievous flash in her eyes then vanished.
I was wearing a blue frilly bra with a white transparent bow tied behind and on both sides.
The undies are matching, it's like a small skirt with a see-through white frill.
""You look amazing Mei!""
"Why is it matter what YOU wear, everything always suited to her!"
"I wonder what size are those?"
"..."
They have a different reaction but the thing that makes me embarrass the most is Risa's question, she talking about my breasts.
I never noticed that my breasts were quite the size only now. Most of the time I would wear a bra that mother bought for me which is smaller than my size and accompany it with tight clothing so it would obviously, appear smaller than its actual size.
"Staff, please check those out for me."
Clara told the staff and they acknowledge then start to pack the stuff into a bag.
Clara also pays the money for me and quickly left the store with a smile.
"Get dress will you? Don't hurt me with your godly body! Please!"
Vinca whined as she covers her face with both of her hands and quickly gets out of the store out in embarrassment.
B-But she is also beautiful too! I admit!
'Hehe~! I've told you that you're the only and the most beautiful on the face of the Drareem~!'
'They're not in your leauge~!'
(Master is true! Beautiful! But, if her heart couldn't be so ugly...)
W-Terri!
(I'm sorry master! Please forgive me!)
As a punishment! You will not able to get close to any water!
(I'm drying! Please! Do not be so cruel on me!)
'Hehe~ You reap what you sow~'
For now, let get dressed and escaped from this place as soon as possible!
I move back into the torture room while Risa's gaze follows my back until the door closed.
D-damn... I forgot my cloth outside... I don't wanna walk out like this!
Huh? Oh! I brought a new dress with me! Good thing that I don't let it outside, it simply too expensive to lose.
I quickly take the dress and the rest of the attire out and wearing them one by one start from the dress.
After a hard moment of adjusting and checking, I finally dressed and ready.
I walk out of the room and I noticed that Risa still there but she soon as she saw me she immediately covers her mouth.
Other staff and everyone present in the store stares at me, and some are completely turned into a stone.
"R-Risa? W-What is wrong with me?"
"D-Do I look terrible?"
Risa shook her head rapidly then use her free hand to point to the left and I turn to that direction.
I meet with my own reflection in the mirror. She was wearing a lime green dress her big brown eyes widen in surprise.
Her rosy cheek is tempting me to pinch it badly.
And the most noticeable part is her chest, they are very standout.
The dress makes her look more mature by making her curves more apparent.
Also, her brown hair was let loose.
"I-Is t-that I really look like?"
'Yes~! For almost a month~! Finally, you begin to be more girly~!'
(W-What?! Isn't master already a girl by nature?! Is she a tomboy before?)
'No~! No~! Actually, she is a -'
Purin... hold your tongue...
'OoOZ...'
I turn back to Risa and she immediately pulls me by my hand out of the store.
I was able to grab my stuff in time so, nothing was left behind.
***
Risa stop in front of the restaurant and gesture me to quickly follow by
I was confused about why she seems to be hurried and her face was red.
"Hey~! Look at her! She seems to be a noble and she's lost! Why don't we come and help her out?"
"Yeah! She's really cute! Even just her back facing us, I could clearly imagine how beautiful she looks!"
If you stumble upon this narrative on Amazon, it's taken without the author's consent. Report it.
"Yeah! Let's get her!"
I heard two strangers talking nearby and they slowly approach me from behind but I don't want to meddle with them, so I hurried into the shop.
upon entered the shop, Lyth and Carloe were there along with the other girls was sat together at the very back of the restaurant.
The gaze of the other customer, it's killing me! Please! Could you just not stare at me?
I decided to rush to their table and have a comfortable place to be but, the two guys earlier also entered the store, seems like they don't let me off easily.
"They lady! A-are you perhaps, lost?"
One of the dashes and grab my arm. And as instinct, I pulled my arm back at hard as possible and but the arm won't bulge at all.
Then an image of my initial stat slowly appears before my eyes.
-STR- 0
-AGI- 119
-INT- 85
-VIT- 0
-DEX- 119
-LCK- 0
...
My strength was completely zero and I do not have any defensive stat at all.
Even though my agility was considered high when compared to Calamity Defender Online, I still don't know this world's standard yet.
The average stat in Roland is around 31~44 while in the countryside is slightly below average. And the average stats in Drareem is 24~32 and the highest record belongs to the hero which holds the highest STR stat in the Drareem of 233. You can improve your stat by doing stat related action, such as for AGI and Dex, you can improve by doing parkour and anythings that speed and precision are required. You can measure the target's stat by using "Keen Eyes' Identification tool", you can activate by looks at the target and incite "Lookup" to bring the stat panel up that only you can see.> That's low! Even the average guy has way more strength than me! Purin! I demand an explanation! 'Ehh~ I assigned the attribute based on my liking~! I thought you would like a lot of fancy magic rather than head-on fighting, so I make you especially in those attributes required to be a genius magician~!' I should be the one who can decide my own attribute! Any way! I do appreciate the magician build, magic is handy isn't it? "La-lady?" He asks me again and I focused my gaze on him. I look at him and gosh! He's the thinnest guy I ever saw! Yet I couldn't even break free from his bone-thin arm! "U-ugh..." While I was thinking a way to get me out of this situation without using magic or lethal method, the second guy who is somewhat... a little handsome speak. "We could be your guide if you need. I don't know who you are but we're pleased to help you..." He speaks without stuttering a bit and he's locking his gaze with me while speaking. Then a pair of strong hands pulled my shoulders and separated me from them. "Thanks for your goodwill, sir! But she is a friend of mine! Please do not mind our business from now on, bye!" Risa pulled me behind her back and scaring them with the friendliest smile she could ever make. "Ahaha Y-Yes, sure! W-We will not get in your business! E-enjoy y-your time l-ladies.!" With that, both of them left the restaurant. Then she takes me to the table and sits together. "Risa? Who is she? Is it Mei?" Lyth asks Risa while taking a glance at me. Lyth! I was your friend! Can't you remember?! "Hehehe! Even I, hardly believe that she is the Mei that used to work as a maid at the Estatec's!" "W-What!? This lady is Mei? Unbelievable!" Lyth's eyes widen. She adjusts her glassed many time and scans me several times. Other girls choose to not surprised but instead, they are talking about me. "Sarah! Sarah! Do you mind If I ask you that Mei actually looks better when she let her hair down?" "Hnn? I think that her usual twin tail is better! She looks cute with that particular style!" "No way, this time! I wasn't able to agree with you, Sarah! Objection! Objection! Freestyle is the best! It's express beauty and also looks elegant!" "Twin-tail! Only that style will fit Mei the best!" Both of them keep arguing while others also start another new topic regarding me... It's hard, to just stay still and not being asked. "Ahem! Earlier, no one is willing to answer my question, so this time, I'll it again." Risa looks at me and shifts her gaze down to where I know the best what are those. "What size are those! And the dress! Don't you dress it on purpose! To show off that you're bigger than mine?" She complained in a joking manner but, it's embarrassed me to where I want to disappear off the earth. "From my predictions, it's probably around C size. You're really blessed, Mei." Lyth also joins in the topic. Please! Someone, please end this miserable life of mine! "...Mhmm. I-I'm hungry...:" Everyone who busying talking to each other stop and look at Carloe, they feel a bit of guilt then starting to order the food from the menu. Carloe just saved me! Thank! "Y-Yea, I'll call the waiter then." Risa then proceeds to the waiter and he quickly comes and ready to write the menu in his small note. "Mhmm... Anything you recommended?" Risa asks the waiter. He Is short, has reddish-brown hair and black eyes and out of all, he looks like a timid boy type. "Y-Yes! Our restaurant is a specialty in making bread! A-And r-right now, we're having a promotion, the "Noble's lunch set" is discounted by twenty-percent and the "Teatime set" is discounted by half when order as the first menu!" B-bread? I have a doubt that their bread is as hard as a rock. I look to the table on the left and found out that they have ordered the said bread and the moment they stabbed a fork on the bread, the fork was completely bent. "..." "What comes in the "Noble's lunch set" and "Teatime set"?" Lyth asks the waiter while keeping her eyes on the menu. "The "Noble's lunch set" comes with a The Cafca beef stew, Pike fish soup, bread salad, and you can choose your drink from the list; cafca juices, sweet bikt juices, sour bikt juices, and plain water." Bikt? What is that? There are two variants of Bikts, the sweet is sweeter and less sour while the sour is the opposite of the sweet. To differentiate the difference between the two, the sour will always have plain white color while the sweet will have a white-colored with mixed of green and blue.> Oh... It seems almost like a grape! "The "Teatime set" is come with several teas for you to brew it yourself, it's come with six different tea, the Lay leaf tea, Cafca's leaf tea, Bitter-less tea, Rose petal tea, Moon's drop tea, and Extinguishing fire tea." Most of them are interest but the last one with the bizarre name interests me the most. "Anything else?" Lyth asks the waiter and still not pay him any glance. I decided to look up the menu as well. "W-What?!" I unintentionally let out my mind, making others looks at me. "What is it, Mei?" Risa asks me. It's the menu! What in the world is that! The menu was a beef steak with blood as the sauce! Eww! The sight of the blood making me nauseous and want to vomit right now... Risa noticed she then gently pat my back and magically, the nauseous feels is gone. "T-Thanks..." She grinned then continue to look into the menu. "I-I'd like to have the "Pike fish steak" and the "Sweet bikt juice" please." Carloe is the first one to order. The waiter started to write down the menu. "I'll have "Bread with beefsteak" and plain water then." Risa ordered. R-really?! S-She g-going to eat the bread?! The rock hard bread!? "I want "Pike fish soup" and "Garden Salad with garden sauce" and plain water!" "I ordered a "Noble's lunch set" and take sweet bikt juices as a drink." Both Sarah and Quincy order and at the same time, making the young waiter struggle to write everything in time. "Roland standard limed fried rice and Cafca juices." Lyth ordered. "Oh~! I and Clara want to have "Hell hot curry", a "Carrot salad noodle" and plain water for both of us." Vinca ordered. I wonder is it Clara who ordered the "Hell hot curry". I wonder how hot is it... What to eat! What to eat! The menu here in this restaurant seems pretty normal when compared to the abnormal price! The one Lyth order is costed 12 raqs! and the "Hell hot curry" is costed 15 raqs! I already spend more than three hundred raqs on this single day. I will have to save some for the trip too. Then the best menu for the price just on the next page. "E-EM... I want "Ordinary noodles in chicken soup and boiled egg." and "Extinguishing fire tea"." In fact, both the drink and the meal cost me only 10 raqs, mainly the drink cost 6 raqs. *** After a moment of waiting, our meal arrived. Damn! This Ordinary noodle in chicken soup and boiled egg is simply instant cup ramen with chicken wings and a boiled egg! But, the Extinguishing fire tea somewhat looks intriguing. It's a red beverage with steam constantly rising from the cup. Also, the bubble seems to be... exploding. I take a glance at other's food and stopped when seeing the hellish red rice cover in a golden sauce that is cover in flame. I-Is it the Hell hot curry? I could feel the heat even from here. Please, Clara, please don't eat it. You'll hurt yourself! The Roland standard lime fried rice looks delicious. The rice itself is golden and the amount is huge! The smell of the burned rice could be smelled, it's enhancing the taste. It seems that not all menus are trash but there is a hidden gem too. For me, having this instant noodle is enough to satisfy my small stomach. On my left, I saw Risa about to take a bite at her bread steak and can't help but pry that she's fine. *crunch!* -...- She eats it like it's was nothing than normal bread, in fact, every time she chews, the crunching sound of stone breaking could be heard to all in the restaurant. I could see the people from the left table stared agape at Risa while they're dropped their utensils down on the table. I then choose to not bother her and start by taking a sip in the steam hot tea. Here goes nothing! Drinking and eating never be so hard before. Upon my lip touch the deadly looking fluid in the cup, the chilling sensation ran across my body as if I was thrown into the bath of ice. It's unexpected! The hot-looking thing can be so cold! It's sooth my nerve and relaxed me a bit. It's similar to chewing a mint favor gum. This is a pass for me... Then let's move on to the ramen. I take the spoon and taste the soup. Anddddd... It's was just ramen. Salty and nothing more. The good thing about the ramen is its price for its amount, it's good that it's cost only 4 raqs while having the amount of six instant cup-ramen combined, and pair braised chicken wings and an egg. Let dig in... *** Ahh~! The old day, instant ramen is really the best despite the same old boring taste. I finished my bowl and clean my throat with a blazing cold tea. Ramen, it's a pass too... After everyone finished their meal. Risa calls the same waiter again and ready for checkout. I take a glance at Clara with concern starting to well within me. She looks fine. Well, I guess that was her favorite food. "I-I-It's 142 raqs w-with a discount included." He finally takes a bill and place on the table. "Huh? Did mine cost this much?" I take a peek at the bill and see that her meal cost 15 raqs. Risa surprised. I too surprised! All she was ordering was a single bread steak and plain water. She then proceeds to hand the bill onto the other to looks as she stat to take her money from her pocket. She then handed her money to me and the others followed. "H-here you go..." I hand the money to the young waiter to take it but he, look at me and instantly turn away while he's red up to his ear. Sick? 'You're so dense~ Even he knows what that feeling meant~' I know that the reason why are people blushing when they met someone they like then they will start to turn red. And they will always say that they're fine or feels slightly sick. 'Where do you learn this from~?' Anime of course! There is no way for real people to blush! 'But they're really blushing right now~, In fact, even you cannot escape it~' No! It's just out of embarrassment! It's not that I like someone! "Let's go, Mei! There still plenty of places left to visit!" Risa reminded me. I was sitting at the end of the table. I stood and clear a way for her to get off the table. *** We then move out of the eatery and start to visit various places in Roland's plaza that were located several blocks away from the Balktik mansion and it's close to the great Monarch stead castle too. The Monarch stead castle was a historical site and a landmark of the Roland, it's a gigantic castle with numerous tall tower and sturdy wall surround it. It's was densely guarded even though it's not used by the royals anymore. We walk to the nearby park and sit there while Clara, Vinca, and Rola are going to the nearby stall to buy some snacks. The park was crowded and the landscape is beautiful. The park was surrounded by beautiful green pine and oak-like trees. There is a large pond in the middle of the park, its water was sky blue due to the reflection of the sky. There are many children are playing and men and women are chatting happily under the protective trees. "Roland is a wonderful nation! I wonder what Suran will look like!" Sarah spoke. I too wonder what Suran will look like. From the name and the rumor I heard, it's probably a utopian. "Don't you know that Suran is void any magic? But there is the machine that capable of doing a miracle there!" Risa joined the discussion. "Really? What could they do for instance?" Sarah asks Risa with her eyes sparkle in excitement. "It's could do anything that magic can do! And it even exceeds the magic! I once heard that there is something called "Microwave torch", It's was a tool that used to heat up anything you want! It doesn't need any oil!" "Wonderful! The more I know about it! The more exciting I've become!" Microwave torch? It's kinda like cooking torch back on earth. So, Suran is more technological advance than the Earth? "Sarah, If you keep acting like this, others may think that you're a country bumpkin." Quincy inserted. She adjusted her glasses and then continue. "Suran is a country that mysterious founded for less than a hundred years. But their advancement made up for their short history." "It's still a mystery is how Suran thrives and remains the most flourishing nation in this world." Quincy speaks as Sarah and others listened to her closely. When I think of it, the world itself is based on the fantasy medieval age. But then, Suran comes out of nowhere with their technology. And Risa stated that Suran is void of magic. Maybe, the country itself was transported to this very world just like how I and the hero come? "Oh! Hey! You just come on time! I'm starving!" Risa spotted the three and waved at them. I turned to look at them and see that they come with many snacks and pastries. "Risa, Mei, Carloe,Sylastah, Sarah and Quincy!" Vinca quickly calls out our name and then she places all the snacks on the table. "W-What is that smell? It smells really good!" Sarah sniffed and she asks Vinca. I also smelled it, It smells like butter and popcorn. "You mean this? The new stall sell just opened sell this so I try it out! Vinca was holding a small paper cone that has a yellow strip winding up the cone. "It's call "Soaked Sweet Cronet"." She then hands the cone and small disposable wooden fork to Sarah. The Soaked Sweet Cronet, It's corn but with its seed being as small as a grain of rice. The smell of the butter is tempting me! Ugh! I can't resist it! "V-Vinca? C-Can I have one?" She looks at me and smiles then give me one cone and a fork. "Sure! here you go!" I start to dig in. When it entered my mouth, the Cronet completely melted in my mouth and the butter fragrance is enhancing its taste! It's really delicious! I unconsciously cup my face. This snack, I could eat it without getting bored! "Hehe~! It's really delicious, right? This is the first time I've to eat it too!" "Yes! Vinca! Where is the stall? I want it!" Sarah Want more, she asks Vinca about where the stall is and she points to the yellow cart with a sign that read, "Sweet sweet cronet dream." above. "Mei, here taste this..." Clara comes and offers me a snack. It's a blue bun with cream between. B-bread?! I wanted to save my teeth but I can't refuse her hospitality. I take a blue bun from her hand and nervously look at the bun and at Clara. She smiled and then walk away to the opposite and sit. I slow take a bite. Huh?! I-it's soft? It's soft?! And tasty too! I chewed the bun and it's really easy. 'Hehehe~! You're so bleessed~! After you're home~! Please make me a dozen honey cake too~!' 'Seeing you eat and enjoy your time alone is making me envious~!' (Silly goddess! Master! I do not want to disrupt your good time but! This goddess is really a goddess? I mean she's like one of the seven sins!) 'I'm not glutton~! I just lack the sugar in my vein~' Okay~ Since I'm in good mood, I'll prepare you the double amount then~ Also Terri, what do you want to eat? (M-Master? I do not consume any physical food.) Terri? Then what do you want? (U-Uhm? I wanted to soak in water for an hour!) Alright... 'H-Hey~ Turtle~!' (W-What?) 'Don't you think little midget is a bit... strange~?' (Y-Yes... I think the dress is the reason?) (Since she wears it, she completely like an elegant noble lady in an instant!) 'You're right, turtle~! I guess she's a little bit more, feminine now~' 'She never fond of any sweet or fancy in dresses~!' (R-Really? Master used to be a tomboy was true then...) 'B-But~! Right now she slowly changed ~! Even she doesn't notice ~!' What are you whispering to each other? Don't think that I can't hear you... 'N-No~! No~! We're just exchanging some knowledge~!' Better be it then... I returned to reality as everyone was happily eating and watch the beautiful landscape together... It's was the first time I've to go out with my friends... In the past, I was stuck at the rectangular screen. I wasted such a fun time staring at it. But now, going out really fun. It's better than being a number-one or being perfect... Someone, releasing myself from the cage I make really open my world. I... Like the way, my life is now... *** After spending time together, the end has finally come. "See you girls later! Goodnight!" Risa waved at us as she was separating away. "Yes, Sarah and I go the same way so, goodnight you all and see you this weekend..." Quincy drags an exhausted Sarah away as she waved at us and also separating away. "Mei? Where is your home?" Vinca ask me. "It's the Haves village, I'll take a carriage there." Vinca surprised. "Oh! Haves village! My mother used to live there! " Her mother used to live there? Her mother must also be close to my mother too... "Anyway Mei, see you around then! Goodnight!" She waved and walked toward the Crestale castle. "My home is near Haves village so I can accompany you there!" Rola said as she happily walks ahead of me. "You girl are... Anyway, I'll take a night at the inn nearby so, see you later." Lyth walks to the inn on our right and before she enters the door she gave us a smile and wave at us before she disappeared into the building. We walk together for a moment then Carloe arrived at her house. "G-Good n-night! I-it's a v-very f-fun day!" "Of course! It's a very fun day, Carloe! See you later!" "See you later Carloe..." "Yes, See you then Carloe." The three of us continue walking until we reach the carriage station. "Here ladies, this is the last carriage of the day! You're lucky, we're about to leave!" The carriage driver greeted us and we carefully get on the carriage. Rola and I sit next to each other while Clara was the opposite of me. I was wondering where Clara is in life so I ask her out of curiosity. "Clara... Where are you living?" She looks at me while giving me a small smile. "About that... I live in the nearby district, it's only just ahead though but I want to send you off." Oh... "N-No need!" I try to not bother her. "I-If you say so..." She smiled and then continue to look outside the carriage. "Ne, Mei! Do you know how to make the "Soaked Sweet Cronet"? I really like to make it myself and eat it!" Rola asked me. Sorry, Rola! I still don't know how to make it! I'm bussing enjoy it and not have time to use "Keen Eyes" to identify it! Sorry! 'Silly~! Everything you look at more than three seconds is already registered to your memory~! You can look up at right now for the recipe~' Oh! Thanks for reminding me Purin-Chan! 'Hmph~!' Imagine the cone and then the information panel appeared. -Six cones of Cronets. -2 cube of salted butter(two tablespoons.) -Cube of sugar(1 teaspoon.) -2 teaspoon of hot water Cooking: -Boiled the Cronet until it's cooked then peel its seed into a cup then added the melted salted butter into the cup and follow by sugar and hot water. Mix it until all the water was absorbed. -You can add more nutrition by adding more vegetables to your liking. -Decorate and serve. > Oh! It's really convenient! I look at Rola and smile. "Yes, I'll give you the recipe." She beamed radiantly and hugged me tightly why thanking me. "Thank you very much, Mei!" Hehehe... If you continue to hug me like this, I may die out of blood loss. "Okay... I'll take my leave now, see you later Mei, Rola." Clara then tells the driver to stop and hop out of the carriage. We give her a wave before the carriage starts moving again. *** "See you later, Rola! And here, the recipe." I gave a piece of paper on the menu to her and give her a wave before the carriage slowly take off. "See you then Mei! And thanks for the recipe!" She waved at me and soon then disappeared below the horizon. I walk into the village and to Kevin's house, or should I say, my own house now. "I'm home..." "!" Not long after the door closed, I was attacked by a motherly hug and was dragged to the dining room. "You absolutely look beautiful in that dress!" Kevin who just come down from his room see me then he fainted. "Kevin! Are you alright?" He slowly regained his consciousness and blinking several times before he fainted again. "Kevin! Don't die in my hand! Please wake up!" "Chukles~ Mom! Kevin's okay! He's just tired!" I tell my mother and she sighed in relieved and then start to drag Kevin back to his room. "Little Mei~ You better take a shower~! I already prepared you warm water for you~!" She said before she left my sight. "Chukle~ Yes mom..." This word reminded me of someone... I dream of her before... But anyway, I need to take a nice shower to relax and clean after a long day of the tour. *** Louis's POV Everything is ready, I prepared all the needed for my trip to Suran. "Sighed... Dealing with them is not easy... Suran is really tight secured." The permission for me and them to get in their nation is hard to obtain. It's taken me a complete half-day to get approved. I was wandering in Roland's plaza. I heard that there is a Monarch stead grand reopening but that was the cover used to fool its people. In reality, the Monarch stead is the weapon of war that annihilated the whole nation in the Wave continent. I don't remember the unfortunate nation that was erased by the evil king of Roland. But for sure, the Monarch stead is a terrifying weapon. I come here to get information with my subordinates. But he's nowhere to be found. Sighed... I take a bench under the trees and watch the children play in the field. "Peace really is wonderful..." I mumbled... I saw a shimmer of green on my left and turned to take a look. I saw a group of girls chatting at talking to each other happily. They are familiar. Oh, they're the staff in the Balktik. I was about the turns away but the girl in light green turned and I can clearly see her face. "Liliam? No... It's not possible..." Mei, she looks like Liliam... In fact, She is identical to her! She was smiling while eating a Cronet sweet. I... I'm sorry... The thought of Liliam almost breaks me, even though I mistake Mei as her, But her image fits her perfectly as if they were the same people. I remembered everything! They'll pay the price! Back then I was weak, unable to do anything. But, The cult of Khan will pay! I stood from the bench, take a look at her for the last time and slowly move out of the plaza. "It's really a coincident or that gods are playing with me..." Words:6678
