26 – Scene 026# Shopping

*

Bella repeatedly picked up and dropped the clothes.

“Well. How about this?”

“It suits you well.”

“Hmm… Then, between this and this?”

“You both look good together.”

“… Blanche.”

“Yes. miss.”

“Take a serious look and tell me. If everything you show like that suits you, then you can’t decide.”

“I am serious. Everything suits you.”

“Just say… .”

The place where Bella and Blanche are located is the oldest department store in the imperial capital.

However, it has recently been remodeled and transformed into a stylish and neat place.

Bella and Blanche arrived in time for opening, but the department store was crowded with people.

The purpose of these people gathering was the same as the two.

It was because of the remodeling anniversary sale.

“Look at this. Blanche. They say this blouse is on sale for 70%.”

“okay.”

“If Blanche wants something, let me know. I can buy you a pair or two. Whoops.”

“miss… With all due respect, weren’t we on a tight budget?”

Bella puffed out her chest at Blanche’s worried question.

“Whoop whoop… I saved up my pocket money for this day!”

“… … Lady, you couldn’t believe that you even received your allowance for next month—”

“Shh! Even if I get rich tomorrow, today’s sale won’t come back!”

“… … .”

“All pretty faces will be wrinkled. Give me a little impression. ah! Doesn’t this one-piece blanche look good on you?”

“Nope. It doesn’t suit me.”

“Huh… .”

Bella glanced at Blanche.

In a word, a beauty with a cool impression.

He is tall with long limbs and a well-proportioned body.

The posture is also upright, as if a mannequin is standing.

However, the sad truth is that despite having such a superior body, Blanche is dressed in loose sweats.

When Blanche worked in the mansion, it didn’t matter because she wore a suit, but when she went out on the weekend like this, it was a situation where she wore plain clothes.

Because her only plain clothes were these sweats.

Bella felt people staring at her from the moment she entered the department store.

There were gazes toward her, but also gazes toward Blanche.

In particular, Blanche attracted the attention of women more than men.

A beauty who doesn’t talk much and rarely changes her expression.

Because that made her feel somehow enchanting.

Of course, there are some things that stand out more because such a beauty is wearing sweats.

Even at department store luxury goods!

Blanche was the only woman here who dressed so loosely.

First of all, what should I do with that guy’s sweats… !

“Blanche.”

“Yes. miss.”

“Are you going to keep acting hard even though it’s the weekend?”

“I am working the weekend now. Of course, there is also an allowance.”

“yes? Did you still wear sweats?”

“I left the work clothes to be washed. Since it’s a single suit, I have to do the laundry on the weekends.”

“Sigh… Then, since you are working, I will give you an order.”

“Yes. Please speak.”

“Choose and wear clothes that will suit you here right now. I’ll buy it for you.”

“… … Can’t I refuse?”

huh?

Blanche, who has always been a yes-man, is showing dislike for the first time.

Bella smiled inwardly and said.

“No. It is an order.”

“… … All right.”

Blanche nodded reluctantly and began to look at her clothes.

If it had ears and a tail, it would have drooped.

‘Whoops… Cute. Our Blanche.”

Still, it’s a huge improvement compared to when I first met Blanche.

At that time, I thought it was really a machine.

Bella remembered the girl who didn’t show any emotion and kept quiet about her business.

“miss… I chose.”

“Look where you are.”

The clothes that Blanche puts out as if she is not confident are made of luxurious materials, befitting a luxury store… Was it sweats?!

“No, why are there sweats in luxury stores? Besides, Blanche, how the hell did you find it? this.”

“I wrote elimination. I removed the clothes that seemed to suit me the most, and that was all that was left. However, it’s a shame that it’s too expensive… .”

“Oh, no. no. I won’t accept this. Pick it again.”

“miss… .”

“No, no. I’ll pick one for myself, so follow me. I don’t want to go anywhere and hear my escort say I can’t wear clothes.”

“Ah, lady… !”

Bella grabbed Blanche’s hand and stepped into the crowd.

It was like that of a general charging into enemy lines.

*

“Come on. Tristan.”

As he opened the door, Tristan’s uncle and guardian, Arthur Ruelberta, welcomed him with open arms.

“How are you? It’s a department store that the family took over a while ago. We did all the remodeling.”

“… Not bad.”

I took a quick look around the department store.

Chandeliers were shining on the high ceilings, and many aristocratic children were looking at the products displayed everywhere.

It is a size that is not enviable in large shopping malls in reality.

“right? As you can see, products tailored to the needs of young aristocratic children are displayed at the entrance. Everyone can’t just pass by. hahahahaha.”

Arthur seemed in a very good mood.

He is active in making money, fearing that someone might not belong to the Ruelberta family.

The stern look was nowhere to be found, and there was only one talkative old man.

“Choose what you want. Of course you pay.”

You’re just asking for money… .

“Five? Come to think of it, did you bring a child you haven’t seen before?”

“Oh, hello… .”

Wendy nodded to Arthur.

“I-I’m the count’s exclusive maid… My name is Wendy oh oh… .”

“what? Tristan, what are you doing? Didn’t you choose an exclusive attendant?”

“… I pulled it because I needed it.”

“is it? Did you say Wendy?”

Arthur lowered his head and looked down at Wendy.

“Yes, yes!”

“If you want something here, pick it up too.”

“Is that okay?”

“Of course you pay.”

“Hick!?”

Seeing this, Arthur burst into laughter.

“Puhahahahaha! Tristan, you picked a very interesting kid. Where did you get this kid from?”

Arthur tapped me on the shoulder.

It’s a new feeling when this happens.

In the original story, Arthur Ruelberta is assassinated by Tristan.

Seeing him live like this and smile happily.

“Ah, actually, it was a joke earlier, and it’s Wendy. Choose what you want. I’m not going to ask you to pay.”

“That, but… .”

“Don’t worry. This guy will pay for it.”

Who is this inspiration?

Even if I didn’t have to say that, today I came to buy Wendy things she needed.

I said to Wendy, who was at a loss.

“yes. Pick something you like here.”

“Bae, Count… .”

“Choose a maid who belongs to the Ruelberta family. If it’s my exclusive, it must have the appropriate dignity. I am here to test your eyes, Wendy.”

“Ah, a test?!”

“yes.”

“Oh, I see! I will not disappoint the Count!”

yes. It’s good to be brave.

Wendy, who was about to take a step, stopped as if she had forgotten something.

“Hey, ship, Count… It’s the first time I’ve been to a place like this, but… .”

Then he looked at me and asked.

“Hey, maybe… How much should I budget for… ?”

How naive this guy is.

I answered with a sigh.

“You don’t need a budget.”

“Yes?”

“Everything you see now belongs to the Ruelberta family.”

*

“Blanche. Are you still far away?”

“I wore all of that… .”

Chew!

Bella removed the blinds in the dressing room.

“Heh… It suits you well too.”

“… Is that so?”

What Blanche was wearing was a black dress with a dent in the back.

“Well, it would be nice if you could go to the party with me like this.”

“… It is difficult to protect the young lady by wearing clothes like this.”

Blanche looked all over the clothes.

Her body is tight and her thighs are exposed.

Feeling much more ashamed than not wearing something.

“it’s okay. It’s not the clothes you put on to protect me.”

“If you say you don’t protect it… ?”

“This is a gift that our Blanche keeps spoiling its appearance. It would be nice to try it on later if there is a man who cares about it. Whoops. I’m sure any man can be charmed by Blanche at first sight.”

“Yes… did you?”

“Yes. Our Blanche only needs to trust and follow this unnie.”

Bella smiled as she stroked Blanche’s hair.

Blanche silently nodded.

Sometimes, among the things the young lady said, there were many things that were difficult for her.

Women have to take care of their appearance, push and pull, and be careful.

Things that are difficult for Blanche to understand.

Each time, Blanche thought.

He said he couldn’t be like Mrs.

I am not as beautiful or feminine as a young lady, and I do not know how to decorate my appearance.

More than anything, he said he couldn’t be proud of himself like Bella… .

“I’m going to wear this, so don’t change.”

“Ah, lady!?”

Involuntarily, a loud noise came out.

Bella giggled and looked at her, as if that was amusing.

“Whoops… why? Shall I give you an order?”

“no… . I will wear it.”

“That’s how our Blanche is. Whoops. Calculate this over there.”

Blanche silently watched Bella like that.

I want to protect Bella like this forever.

I would do anything for Bella’s smile.

It was the moment when Blanche turned her head while thinking about it.

A twisted feeling in the stomach.

She had to grit her teeth.

‘That man… Why are you there?’

Blanche’s superhuman vision spotted the figure of a man in the distance in the crowd.

A fat, dirty, mean man.

The man Blanche hated most, the former fiancé who had hurt Bella, was in front of her.

Blanche could not stay still.

“miss… .”

“yes?”

“Excuse me, but can I go to the bathroom for a moment?”
