25-Episode 23 The Story of Estella Drenched

'Estella-san, the hot water is ready!

Ginette, who had brought a large tub into her room and finished filling it with freshly boiled water, called out through the door to Estella, who was probably shivering in my room.

'Did you prepare it for your room?'

'Yes. There's a lot of hot water spilling and moisture in the air.

Apparently, he was being considerate of me.

'Well, ......, this will be the first time I've been in your room.

'Why are you trying to stay with me?

'No, I thought it would be good to have some help.

'No, you can't!You're not allowed upstairs for a while, you know!

'What kind of fun event is this?

'...... Yashiro. It's so cold, can you please just go away?''

You can hear Estella's shaky voice coming from inside the room.

...... Oh, it looks like there's no time for jokes.

'Then take care of the rest.'

'Yes, sir. Please take care of the store.'

'Oh. I'll turn away anyone who comes.'

'Please be hospitable, won't you?

With Jeannette's flustered voice at my back, I headed for the dining hall.

It seems that there is no way to accidentally peek at the bathing scene .............

You will find a lot of people who are looking for the best way to get the most out of their life.

I'm glad you're here. There's no one here, I thought you were closed.

There were eight Oumaros in total. They all wore heavy wet cloaks and stood behind the door.

'What's the matter?You're awfully early today.

It was too late in the afternoon, but still quite early for supper.

These guys are supposed to be the kind of workaholics who work even in the rain. ......

'That's the thing,......, but first, can I get in?

'Hmm?Yeah, sure.

I stand at the counter and hang Umaro's cloak on a hook on the wall.

I told them that Ginette was currently unavailable for some reason and would not be coming out to the store for a while. Yamboldo and the others let out a squeal of discontent, but Umaro held them back.

'It can't be helped. Don't complain, just order!

That's the master.

With a single word, he silenced those who had been complaining.

Some of them still complained, but they did not protest further.

'So, where's Magda?

'Oh, Magda was called to the hunting guild. He's been gone all day.

'Come on, guys!Let's pack up and go home!

'Hey, Cora!

'I explained it to you this morning, didn't I?Magda's a member of the hunting guild before she's our waitress. There are some things that need to be prioritized.

I explained this to these guys when they came to get their lunch in the morning, but ...... you didn't listen.

Magda was still there that morning. I'm sure he was too busy staring at Magda to hear much of what I had to say.

'A sunlit pavilion with only Yashiro-san in it is like a grilled fish set meal with no fish on it. ......'

'Oh, so I'm the staple food, huh?You're giving me too much credit, huh?

'......Oh, he's so positive. ......!

Hmm. It's a decade too early for a guy like Umaro to be giving me grief.

'So, what's so fast?Are you boycotting?'

'No way!There's no way Torbeck Engineering would do such a thing.

'Then what's going on?

'That's the thing. ......'

As they took their seats, I kindly offered them cups and jugs of water, ''Wow ......, it's self-serve ...... ''............Ginette would have poured it for me, ......'' Goozja and Yambold's a**h*les complained.

You guys would probably complain even if I poured it for you. If the result is the same, I won't waste my effort. I hate waste and extravagance.

Taking a sip of water, Umaro continues what he said earlier.

'Right now, we're repairing the house of the lord of the 30th district. ......'

'The lord of the thirtieth district, I think it's called Wishart?

'Oh, yes. You know him well, don't you?Have you ever been to the Thirtieth District?

'No, well, the first place I went to ...... was the gate of the 30th district.

You can't say that you caused a bit of trouble there.

'Oh, that gate is magnificent, isn't it?I heard that my Grandpa Hii was involved in that.

Umaro says proudly. I wonder if his family has been carpenters for generations.

'That's a bit off topic. So, we were supposed to be repairing Wishart-sama's mansion, but ...... there was a serious incident, so the work was suddenly stopped.''

'Serious incident?What happened?

'That's the thing. ......'

Umaro's voice suddenly dropped, and he made a show of leaning toward me. I followed suit and leaned in closer.

Covering his mouth with his hand, Umaro asks me a question.

'I heard that the Wishart family's treasure has been stolen.

'Oh, ......'.

Stealing is another easy crime to understand. Whoever did it must be a fool. Stealing someone else's treasure is a cowardly, foolish and disgusting act.

The right way to take someone's treasure is to twist it so that it won't squirm.

'You've got a very bad ...... face, don't you, Yashiro?

It's not like that, is it?I'm not sure what to do, but I'm sure it's a good idea.

'...... Who are you talking to, that kind of nonsense?

Umaro's face twitches.

You might be called that sooner or later. In fact, shouldn't you guys be the first to call it that, so that you can make a name for yourselves?

'So, now that the theft has been discovered, do you want outsiders to leave?

'Looks like it.'

'Well, since we don't know who the thief is, we probably don't want outsiders in the house for the time being.

'That's the thing, though: ......'

Umaro shows his best face yet. Apparently, what he is about to say is what he wants to say the most.

So let's hear it.

'...... They say they already know who did it. Or rather, they've already caught him.

'Then it's already solved, isn't it? There's no reason to kick you out, right?'

'That's because there was a situation that shouldn't be leaked to the ...... table.'

I welcome such information.

I have no plans to do so, but if I ever have to deal with the lords of the thirty districts, I'll definitely use you as a weapon.

'So, what happened?

'No, no, no. I really can't tell you that much. ...... Our trust and all that. ......'

'Magda said that Umaro's story was interesting.

'Actually, yes!The thief was a peddler who frequented the Wishart household.

Well, as expected from the reliable and proven Torbeck Engineering. You've got good information. ...... Am I allowed to talk?

No, but wait, ............ is that your peddler?

'Is that a man called Norbert?

'Do you know that, Yashiro-san?

Really?

I thought he was a rather nice guy who saved me from a dead end and paid my entry tax to Allbloom.

'It seems that Norbert was doing business not only in Allbloom, but also in Baocliere and other cities, and had exclusive contracts with nobles in various places.

'So he was a merchant for many places.

'Yes. He borrowed expensive goods from noblemen's houses wherever he went and sold them in different cities. ......'

'...... Why did he think he wouldn't get caught?

'They won't find out. I don't go to other cities unless there's something wrong with me. Even if it's for sale in another city, there's no way they'll notice.

I see.

In this world where everything is done in one city, there is no such thing as interaction with other places.

If you ask me, I haven't even been to other districts since I settled down here.

In this world where jobs are limited, there may not be many people who want to go to the city to get a shot.

If they do, it's only for a little sightseeing. ......

You'll be able to find a lot more than just a few of these in the city. ...... Well, outside the city is a real death threat. If you get lost, it's over. In the nearby forest, there are even magical beasts like Bonacon, and if they attack you, it's over.

It's full of death flags.

'So how did you find out?

'Caught red-handed, sir.

'Duh!

'It seems he was fooling around with the nobles while he was working for them. It's easy to fool the nobles.''

Yeah. ...... I think I understand. That's what he seemed like.

So that's how he thought I was a noble and saved me. ...... He's a tough guy.

'It seems that almost all of the goods that were sold in this town were stolen.

'What?Then, spices too?

'I think so~. It seems that the nobles of Bao Kri Air were also in on it. ...... If the other side knew that stolen spices were being sold, it might spark a war.

'Is it that much?'

'Spices are a luxury item. Even if I had bought it, I'd have to keep my mouth shut.'

''This is not Bao Kri Air's spice?''

'Yes. If it's just 'give it back', but if it's 'compensate for it', I can't stand it. Oh, but by the way, about a month ago, there was a story circulating about someone trying to sell stolen spices. ...... Those spices were originally brought in by Norbert... ...'

............ Can we stop talking about it?

If that's the case, you're rather lucky, aren't you, Mr. Wishart? If it was stolen before he got it in his eyes, he can claim that he had nothing to do with the spices.

'I don't think so!Isn't that lucky?

'What's with the ......?You're awfully desperate .......'

'No, I'm not.

Calm down, me.

Here is a chance for me to finally let go of the spices that have been nothing but a burden and a hindrance to me. If you lose your cool here, you'll never get rid of it.

'But I don't think it'll be that important. I'm sure Master Wishart will take care of Norbert in private, and if the thief doesn't file a complaint, the stolen goods are no different from found items. As long as they don't grab the tail, the nobles of Baocliere won't come to another city.

You're right. But what if I sue ...... Norbert for theft?''

'That won't be accepted. They won't even take a case of stolen goods.

So we can steal all we want from the bandits?

Is that okay, then?

In any case,............, it's possible that my spices are no longer stolen.

Norbert was the only one in town who had the right to sue. He's been caught as a thief and can't report the theft.

So what happens to the spices now that the owner is gone?

...... You may be in luck.

Let's find a fold and sell it quickly. ......

'Yashiro-san, you look happy, don't you?

'No, I'm not.'

'No, I'm not.' 'No, I'm not.

'Ares anyway, right?'It's like a nobleman getting hurt and feeling good about it, isn't it?

'...... What kind of person do you think I am?

I don't think my personality is that twisted. ......

'Well, that's why I lost my job today.

...... So you came to see Magda because you lost your job, huh?I told you he wasn't here.

'I bought some good stuff in the 30th district, but ......'.

'Well, I'm sorry about that. He went to a lot of trouble for me.

'Of course, it's for Magda's sake!

Umaro cradles the brown sack in his arms as if to protect it from me.

Speaking of things Magda might enjoy, ............

'Breast pads?

You can't give that to a woman!

What a thoughtless bastard.

If it was breast pads, I thought I could lend them to Estella since she's here right now. ......

Umaro said, spreading the contents of the small bag on the table.

What came tumbling out was a stick of food about 20 centimeters long, covered with yellow grains.

'Oh. It's corn.

'Yashiro-san, you know everything, don't you?

Is it a rare food in this town?

'But this is a little different from ordinary corn.

Again, Umaro shows a proud expression.

Isn't it normal?Do you eat it in an unusual way?

'Don't you boil it and bite into it?

'............ That's right.

Isn't that normal?

'Isn't Yashiro-san a nobleman or something?'

'What?You usually eat corn, right?

'No, I don't. I don't eat corn. It's dried and used as bird feed.'

'Bird food?

'That's right. The skin of ordinary corn is so hard that it's inedible.

............ Is that so?

Is it possible that the corn sold in Japan was the result of a series of breeding improvements?

'The corn in District 42 is a smaller, harder, poorer vegetable.

'Are you saying that the corn in the other district is better?

'San Ju District's corn is just delicious.

Corn. ......

'By the way, Yashiro-san.'

'What is it?'

As I picked up the corn and looked at it, Umaro stared at me.

It's ...... so weird.

I'm not going to steal it, don't worry.

You'll be able to find a lot of people who are interested in this.

...... What's wrong with you guys?

'...... Yashiro-san.'

'............What the hell?'

'It's time for you to take the ...... order, isn't it?

'.................. ah?'

'We're hungry, .......'

Order ............

'Why me?

'Yashiro-san, you work here, don't you?

Well, yes, I am. ......

'What, are you ...... expecting to see me in an apron dress?

'I'm looking for a meal!

'Tell that to Jeannette!

'Then please bring me!

Oh, really?

If that's what Umaro wants, then so be it.

I don't have any intention to do so, but if the customer says so, I can't help but obey as an employee, can I?

I've been told I'm off-limits, but it's at the behest of a customer, and a good customer at that. I've got to go get Jeannette right away.

Go to Ginette's room, where Ginette is.

In that case, even if I accidentally and inadvertently peeked into the bathing of a beautiful girl as a lucky break, this is a complete force majeure and I am not at fault at all, right?

'All right, all right!I'll go get him right now!

'Wait, Yashiro-san!Why are you getting so excited?

With Umaro's words at my back, I stepped out joyfully.

Towards the newly born, limited-time Peachland!

'Wait a minute, please!

However, as I started to move, Umaro and the rest of the Trubec Engineering staff seized me.

What the hell are you doing?Let go of me!Don't let go!

'Hold back!Your head is too high!

'What's with that tone of voice?Who do you think you are?

'I don't know, Goozja and Yangbold!Why are you guys even interfering with me?

'Somehow, when I look at Yashiro-san now, I only feel uneasy!

'...... Ginette-san's pinch, I'll stop it!

What kind of people are they?

They're all my enemies?

'Estella, what's wrong?

At that moment, I heard Jeannette's voice from the back of the kitchen.

............ Oh my god ............... ...has the peach garden ...... already disappeared ......?

The dreamtime ............ seems to have already ended ............

My whole body is losing strength: ............

I felt an unbearable weakness and could only look in the direction of the voice.

As I stopped moving, the power of Umaro and the others holding me down weakened.

They all stared at the kitchen doorway, not speaking.

The voice of the goddess was heard in the deserted space, and I could understand why they would be interested.

'Hurry up and go to the dining room, let's eat.

'Ya ...... but ............ this outfit ......'.

'It suits you very well. Estella, you look lovely.'

'So...... is it ............?It's a little small. ......'

'I'm sure Yashiro will say it's cute too.'

'Yah, I don't really care about Yashiro, though!

Don't say anything bad about me when I'm not around. ...... You'll cry.

'......But it's still not an outfit you can show off to people,......'

'It's okay. It's just me and Yashiro.

'............The last thing I want is for Yashiro to see me. ......'

'What?Do you hate me?

I'll cry?

'Here. Let's go.

'Nn～～～～............All right, ......'

Just as Estella's voice sounded weepy and pathetic, Ginette emerged from the kitchen.

'Oh, Yashiro. ...... What?

And when Ginette sees the nine men, including me, frozen in front of the counter, she lets out a short scream.

Well, you'd be surprised.

'What's wrong with you, Jeannette? ............'

Estella, who appeared after Jeannette, froze when she saw the scene in the cafeteria.

Estella was wearing Magda's uniform.

A one-piece dress that hugged her body tightly, highlighting her modest but slightly uneven body lines. The fluttering apron dress transformed Estella's usual cool image into a feminine impression that made our spines tingle.

Magda's uniform was still a little small for Estella, and the skirt length was like a super mini skirt. Because of this, most of her thin, white thighs were exposed and seemed to shine brightly.

The wet hair is shiny and gives a nice touch to the "cool girl who is embarrassed to be dressed in cute clothes" and gives it a nice flavor that is hard to describe.

I'm not sure what to say, but I'm sure you'll understand.

I'm not sure if you've heard of it or not, but I've heard of it.

This is a great way to make sure you are getting the most out of your time and money.

'Estella, good job!

After barking at me with a bright red face, Estella retreated to the back of the kitchen.

As soon as Estella was out of sight, Umaro collapsed.

His crush on the girl must have exceeded his tolerance level.

Besides Umaro, there were many others who were admiring Estella's figure.

'......Beautiful'

'...... Estella Tan...... real goddess'

'............I want to be stepped on'

'......I have no regrets if I die today'.

There are a few people who seem to be strange ...... but they are all strange. ...... Estella's school uniform seemed to be very destructive.

...... Do you think I should hire him?

'Oh, um... Everyone!Welcome to ...... the sunny pavilion!

Ginette also freaked out and greeted him at an odd time.

'Jeannette.

'Yes, yes.

'Is Estella going to have dinner now?

'Eh, uh, yes. It's very late, but...'

'Well then, I'll go to ...... for these guys as well.'

'Myself!I want the same one as Estella's!

'Me too!

'Me too!

'So do I!

'Then I'll take Estella's leftovers!

'Then I'll take Estella's!

'Okay, you two in the back, get out.

I won't allow you to mess with my people.

You can't touch the dancer!This is a universal, ironclad rule!

I forgave them for the time being, and made them agree not to get up from their seats.

In exchange, I made them all agree not to get up from their seats. I gave Estella a seat at the back of the room, away from the jerks, and gave her the right to watch from a distance. ...... Still, the yarows were overjoyed, though.

'......Yashiro......Boku, are you going to eat here?

'You can't let them eat in the kitchen, can you?

--It's not in the best interest of the restaurant.

'I'll eat in the kitchen, just for today. I can't eat ...... calmly with all these eyes on me.'

'So you want to eat with your back to them?

'Yes!No, you can't do that!

Estella is a bit pissed off and refuses.

Then she quickly puts her hands on her hips.

'............ This is Magda's uniform, so ............ that ............There's a hole ...... in the tail.'

'You've got a bare butt?

'Shut up!It's not exposed!It's just a little peek!

''Oh!

''Can you please not make a scene, outfielders?

Estella barked once and fell down on the desk, covering her face with her arms. Even her ears are red.

'You saw Magda's undercoat, right?

'...... You have a hole in the same place.'

Well, yeah. It's a hole for the tail.

'............ I want to go home.'

'In that outfit?

'........................ sucks.'

The rain is still coming down.

Estella's clothes will never dry in this weather.

'...... Are you staying over today?'

'--Huh?

She raised her face and stared at me with wide eyes.

...... I'm scared.

'I'm not going to be able to sleep with you ............, am I?

The embarrassment is too much,......, and with such a face, Estella says appealingly.

But ......

'No, there's one room available, we can go to Ginette's or Magda's room ...... Why are you planning to sleep in my room?'

'--Huh?'

Estella's face instantly turned red, as if her face had ignited.

'No,......, I was sleeping in your bed until a while ago, so I just assumed that you were going to sleep ............ there, I didn't mean any harm.

Yeah, ...... yeah.

I know what you mean, but please don't say ...... 'I was sleeping in your bed a while ago' out loud.

Look at the fear in the eyes of those guys at Torbeck Engineering. My stock is going down the drain.

I'll just put on my cape and go home. No one will notice me. ......'

'I hope your family won't be shocked.

'........................'

Estella's face suddenly turned pale.

I wonder if her family is pretty strict.

'Do you want me to lend you some of my clothes?

'Ki...... your clothes are men's, aren't they......?'

Of course it is.

'You're wearing men's clothes back home. ...... That's more of a problem. ............'

Well, if his daughter went out and came back wearing men's clothes, ............ her father might be pissed.

'.................. coming home in wet clothes'.

'No, Estella!

Before I knew it, Jeannette, who was standing behind me, snapped at Estella's comment.

'You'll catch a cold.

'Even if it's ...................'

To my surprise, Estella looks like she's about to cry a little.

'......I've never seen Estella this weak before.

'......Yashiro-san.'

Jeannette is looking at me with eyes that seem to squirm.

...... I don't care if she looks at me like that. ............

'Put on my clothes and go home, enter the house undetected, and change into your own clothes. Can't you do that ...... or something?'

'You can't ............ do that without ...... anyone finding you.'

What, your house is a mansion with a lot of servants?

'Can you go by the house and change your clothes in the grass?

'There's no way I can do that!If ...... anyone sees me, ...... I'm finished.'

'Then I'll go with you and keep an eye on ...... you.'

'I don't like it any more!

You don't have to reject me with all your might. ...... I'm crying, already, in my heart.

'Yashiro-san. Making a dress now means ......'

'You know, even if I did ......, it would be dawn by the time I finished.'

'It's ......, isn't it?

Ginette let out a troubled sigh, and Estella held her head.

'......I can't go home in this uniform,......and men's clothes are out of the question,......but staying out is... I can't ......... go home in this uniform. ...... I'm going to be so angry. ......'

I'm so trapped. ......

'Hey. You can explain it properly. I'm not sure what to do, but I'd like to know what to do.

'............It's not a person who will honestly believe that. ......'

'You ............ don't trust me, do you?

'Shut up!

Well, she's the kind of woman who comes to the church every morning to pick up a donation.

I guess you can guess how my family looks at me. ......

'But you know what? It's the truth, and I'm sure you'll understand if I tell you.

'It would be nice if you could hear the truth. ......'

'So, be honest about that: ......'

'I don't tell lies or falsehoods......, but he doesn't listen to me.......'

Honestly.

No lies, no falsehoods.

I tell the truth. .................. Hmm.

'What are you guys talking about?'

They both look at me.

'What you should be thinking about right now is how to fool them, right?

'Deceive?Why would I deceive someone?

'That's right, Yashiro-san, Estella-san has nothing to be ashamed of. ......'

'Oh, no, no, no. You've got it all wrong.''

I'll give them a clear explanation.

'A person who doesn't listen to others has an unshakable theory within himself. Their entrenched self-theory leaves no room for others to take advantage of them. As a result, they fall into the trap of thinking that they don't need to listen to the other side and that discussion is useless.

'Yeah, ............, that's what it looks like. ......'

Right now, Estella's brain is probably filled with the face of someone who doesn't know.

She is showing a fed up expression.

'But is it really necessary to tell a lie when you haven't done anything wrong?

I can't agree with you because you equate 'deceiving' with 'lying'.

Deception does not only mean telling a lie.

'It looks like that' or 'it sounds like that' is also a kind of 'deception'. Trick art is a good example. But it is not a lie, it just looks like one.

The point is that you have to make them stop thinking, even for a moment. The technique of deception is to make the other person stop thinking.

For example, ......

'Hey, guys. Do I look like a woman?

'Huh?No, no. No, I don't. ......'

'Are you getting into cross-dressing?I suggest you don't. You'll look like a freak if you dress up as a woman.

Who would ever dress up as a woman?

...... No, wait. If you dress up as a woman, you can break into women's bathrooms. ............ No, we'll think about that later, but for now, let's just 'trick' these guys.

'Well, I guess you're right. I'm a man, for all intents and purposes. Strong and wild.'

'Nobody's saying that, though.

'Yashiro-san seems more gentle than wild.

Whatever.

Anyway, for all intents and purposes, I probably look like a man.

''But ............ I have half a woman's blood flowing in my body.''

''What?

Ginette and Estella gasped at the same time, and the people in the Torbeck engineering store sitting behind them also groaned.

For a brief moment, the time in the sunlit pavilion stops. ......

'........................ No, of course not!

Estella was the first one to notice.

'Ah!That's right, isn't it!Half of it is your mother's blood, isn't it?

Ginette also finally understood and clapped her hands.

Yes.

The blood that flows in my body is the blood of my father (male) and mother (female).

In other words, half of it is female blood.

'What are you saying with a smug look on your face about such an obvious thing? It's confusing.

'That confusion is what's important now.

'What ......?

Perhaps my earlier comment was too shocking, but Jeannette was still breathing heavily in her chest. She is probably breathing to suppress the beating of her heart.

Such a simple matter can have such an impact.

You can stop someone's thinking for a moment with a trivial thing.

This is the power of deception.

'You don't have to lie to deceive someone. But this momentary suspension of thought will save you. ...... Hold on a second. I've got a secret plan. I'll be ready in a minute.'

I said and went back to my room.

The point is, if that certain someone that Estella is worried about listens to Estella properly, the problem will be solved. A moment's pause in thought is enough to install ears that can hear well to those who don't listen.

Before that certain someone develops an ironclad theory that 'he must have done something wrong', let him hear what we have to say.

There is a very easy way to do this.

It's quick and easy to prepare.

I take out a shirt from my bag.

It will be a little big in size, but Estella will be able to wear it.

I take out the scraps and work on it a bit.

Suddenly, my eyes fell on the bed.

The bedding was neatly arranged.

...... Did he take such care in the nude?

............ naked ............ Estella was here naked? ............ Oh no, I'm starting to get antsy.

'...... Here's Estella, naked ............'.

I look down at the bed.

............ Shall I lie down?

'.............................. What?You're a pervert!

Thank God.

The brakes in me haven't broken yet!

No matter how much I huffed and puffed over such a thing, something inside me would be completely finished. Something important to me as an adult, as a person.

I proceeded with my work at a rapid pace and quickly left the room.

As I was leaving the room, I smelled the ～～～～～ bedding just a little, just a little,......, and it smelled like mud.

It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for,.......

I'm sure you didn't smell the bed or anything!

As soon as I get back, Estella bites me.

I'm just wishing I hadn't ...... smelled it.

I ignored her question and handed her the clothes I had made.

'Go put it on. You can do it in the kitchen, or you can use my room.'

'What, are you going to change into this ......?

'Hurry up, you'll get cold with your ass hanging out.

'It's not bare!

Estella snatched the clothes from me and disappeared into the kitchen, covering her ass with the clothes.

Her footsteps recede into the distance and she walks out into the courtyard. ...... You can change in my room.

'Yashiro-san, what the hell are you doing?'

'Well, you'll see.'

Maybe this will work.

It's a message ...... that even the dumbest of people can understand.

A few minutes later, Estella returned with a twitching face, having changed her clothes.

'......Yashiro, this is ......'.

'Wow!It's amazing ...... nice.'

'Yeah ............ nice ............, I guess?'

'It's wonderful!I want one too!

Estella and Ginette's opinions were split in half.

Well, I guess that's true.

On the front of the dress Estella is wearing, there are these words stitched on it.

"Sunlit Pavilion.

You have to come here!Bring your friends and family!Ginette

I'm sure that only Ginette in the world would say that the design is "wonderful".

You'll be able to find a lot of people who are interested in this. It's like a matching T-shirt for a school festival.

'...... Yashiro, this is ......'.

'If you put it on so loudly, men will see it before you do.

'Well, ...... they will, but ............'

'And I bet the first thing they'll say is.'What's ...... that?

What kind of parent would think of their daughter coming home in these ridiculous clothes and saying, "Did you have a secret meeting with a man? I'm sure there are parents out there who have no idea what they're doing. If there were, those parents should have their heads examined.

'It would be troublesome if you are preempted in the time it takes to take off your cloak. I'll lend you an umbrella and you can leave without the cloak.'

'I'm not going to walk the streets dressed like this!

'It's for your own good.

'You're just trying to use it to advertise your store!

'Geez, ......!How did you know about that?

'It's like they're doing it on purpose!I wish they'd at least try to hide it!

This store doesn't advertise enough. Why don't you help us out a little?

'So, how does it feel?I chose a thicker fabric, so I think it's a little less cold. ......'

'The ...... fit is ............ not bad.'

Estella turned her head away, somewhat pouting.

Don't be so angry.

It's a joke solution, but it's not a joke idea. This is the best we can do.

'.................. kun kun ......... ...the smell of yashiro ............!

Estella pulls at her collar and puts her nose close to her clothing. ...... That's kind of rude behavior.

'It doesn't smell, does it?

'It doesn't smell, but it's ............ something that makes me nervous. ............'

'Huh?'

'No, it's nothing!Forget it!

What, am I emitting dandy pheromones or something?

Don't fall in love with me.

If I joke about it, I'll get hit for sure. Yeah, I'll shut up.

'Well, I'll go to ...... or go back to .............'

Estella wobbled her way to the exit.

You okay, ......?

'Don't fall down again.

'I'm not going to fall, it's a waste!

What a waste?

'Hey, it's nothing!I'll wash the ...... and return it to you.'

'No, you can keep it.'

'I'll wash it!I'll wash it without a trace!

'No, ...... leave a trace.'

You look like you're in a fever. ...... Are you sure you're okay?

'Estella, here, take this.'

She took the umbrella that Jeannette held out to her and went outside.

The rain was still falling heavily.

'Do you need a lift?

'Don't worry!I won't have to take care of you.'

'I'm not stalking you or anything, okay?

'I know, but I'm really fine with .............'

'I see.

'Well, if you're going to say so much, I guess I shouldn't pester you.

'Well, be careful.

'Thank you. That ...... stuff.'

'No.'

Well, you'll get it back in some form in the future.

'Well, I'll see you tomorrow. Miss Estella.'

'Yes. Thank you too, Ginette. Don't get wet, you should go in now.'

'Yes, bye.'

Ginette bowed and we went back inside.

I close the door.

Jeannette ran quickly to the counter and I was the only one left at the door.

'............'

I gently opened the door and peeked out to see Estella sniffing my clothes, ............ pulling at my collar and burying her face in it.

There are girls who like to ............ smell. ............ ......

In the event that you've got a lot more than one, you'll be able to take a look at a lot more.

...... Estella is quite the pervert.

After that, the Trubecks, who had been waiting for Magda's return, left before Magda's return, as the rains intensified.

As he was leaving, Umaro said, 'This is for Magda!It's for me! and gave the corn to Jeannette. ...... You're desperate, man.

Magda came home late at night and went to her bedroom early, looking somewhat tired. You don't seem to be very good at meetings, do you?

That's why I came back to my room too. ......

'Funny ......'

Tomorrow morning, I have to start preparing lunches and making donations early.

I have to go to bed early. ......

The bed I crawled into smelled so good that I couldn't sleep ...... in agony.

'...... I'm sure it was just muddy earlier, but ............ why does it smell so good?

My bed smelled somewhat sweet and exciting.

The only possibility was that Estella had come here to change her clothes and had slipped into my bed once more. ............ ............... What for?

'............ d*mn, that smell fetishist.'

You'll be conscious of it. ............

I'm going to have to pretend not to notice you. ............

Oh, shit. ............

I'll at least sniff it back!

So I spent a very agonizing ...... long night that day.
