When this girl was reading through the letter, she had a complicated expression on her face. As if she didnât know if she should be feeling happy about it or hated her family for it.
ăYou donât need to follow the content of this letter. ă
âHuh? B-But, is it alright for me to ignore itâŠ?â
ăYes. Even if you donât follow this letter, you can still pull off a surprise! âŠ. Thatâs right. Follow me. ă
The main point was the dress. As long as I had the dress in hand, it was easy for me to coax her in. Even if she didnât return to her family house, there were plenty of dresses in the young masterâs house.
I led her to the closet of the now-deceased young masterâs mother.
ăNow, choose any of the colour you like from here. ă
âHuh?! Th-these dresses areâŠâ
ăItâs alright. All of these belong to the duchal⊠It belongs to the young masterâs mother.ă
âI-I-I-I-I-I-Impossible!! I⊠Those dresses definitely wonât look good on me!!! T-that⊠There are various reasons⊠The size⊠It wonât fit meâŠ!â
ăFret not. These dresses were made using magic silk. The size will be automatically adjusted to fit the wearer.ă
In any case, we didnât have anyone to wear these dresses anyway. Rather than leaving these dresses to rot, Iâd rather dress her all pretty and cute and then charm our young master while she at it.
Sure. Her body looked sickly thin and her short hair made her look like a boy but⊠She actually had a good base. A woman like her would definitely shine when we polished her a little.
ăFirst, try this on.ă
I pulled out a rather simple light pink dress. Rather than a dress that emphasized the chest and buttocks part, I think sheâd look better in a casual dress like this.
âHuh?! S-such a beautiful dress like thisâŠâ
She had green hair and eyes. Her skin was relatively pale too. Hence why I feel like sheâd give a cold impression if I gave her a blue dress. Between all of the dresses here, I think something in the shade of pink would suit her. This light pink dress looked pretty bright so I think this dress would give her a more cheerful impression.
âŠ.. Itâs definitely not because Iâm an old man with an old-fashioned way of thinking. Iâm definitely not thinking âif itâs a girl, a cute pinky dress is always the right choice â„!â.
âCome on. Hurry up and change your dress.â
âY-yesâŠâ
Using the automaton I controlled, I pushed her into the fitting room. While she was getting dressed, I went to fetch the young master, who was probably secluding himself in his bedroom.
âBhadra. Just what the heck is going on?â
ăA change of pace and a surprise for you, young master.ă
âHow many times have I told you to stop calling me âyoung masterââŠâ
ăïŒSshhh! Young master! Just shut up and stand over there!!ïŒă
ââŠâŠâŠâ
Lost to the intensity of my pressure, the young master only gave me a sidelong glance while standing there obediently. I then called out to Miltia in a soft, coaxing voice.
ăMiltia-sama, are you ready yet?ă
âUmm⊠Bhadra-sama⊠T-this dress⊠Am I wearing it correctly?â
Slowly, the curtain opened, revealing the girl hidden behind it. My breath was taken away the moment I saw her figure.
Shining after⊠Being polished⊠Thatâs not the right word for her. She literally shapeshiftedâŠ
While it was true this dress was made from magic silk and magic silk had the magic properties of changing according to the magic of its wearer.
But!! I never knew it could change this muchâŠ!
There were five sakura flowers blooming on her light pink dress. The petals were short, as if it was corresponding with her short hair. In addition, there were sakura petals raining on her dress, the petals were glowing faintly while fluttering down slowly. All of theseâŠ. Could magic silk be the cause of all of these effects?
The only thing stood out like a sore thumb was that boorish necklace of hers. But even without that thing standing in our way, I still couldnât help but to freeze and stare in shock at this girl, who had become the incarnation of sakura spirit herself.
ââŠ.. BeautifulâŠ.â
I finally came to my senses when I heard a sound coming from the young masterâs mouth.
âHuh?! Ma-Maricle-sama?! M-my apologies!!â
âN-âŠNo. I donât mind. Rather, the dress looks really good on youâŠâ
âThat⊠I-I will take it off nowâŠ.!!â
Stuck in a state of panic, the girl suddenly began to take off her dress right here and there. Realizing what she was trying to do, I immediately stopped her with what little reasoning I had left.
ăMiltia-sama⊠If you want to change your dress⊠Please do it over thereâŠă
Or rather⊠Hey, young master? Donât just turn your eyes away. I know youâre embarrassed but canât you at least try to stop her? Huh? What? Could it be⊠You actually want to see her change her clothes in front of you? Hm???
Even when he was stuck in that appearance because of that curse, the colour of skin still changed into a slightly pinkish colour when he was feeling shyâŠ.
Young masterâŠ.
It took me every last bit of my willpower to stop myself from teasing my young master.
ăSince her clothes are too shabby, I was thinking of giving her a dress made from magic silk since then I wonât need to waste more labour in resizing it but⊠I guess itâll be better if we buy new casual clothes for her to wear on a daily basis.ă
âH-HuhâŠ? Oh⊠Yeah.â
ăBecause of that, I hope you wonât mind if I make another budget proposal for it? âŠ. Hey! Young master!ă
âW-wha-⊠Ye-Oh-Yes. Yeah⊠I-I donât mind at all.â
At last, the young masterâs voice finally returned to normal. I then returned to my daily job nonchalantly.
T/N: You will notice Miltia changes the honorifics when calling Bhadra. When referring to Bhadra (man), she will use Bhadra-sama. But when itâs Bhadra (automaton) she will use Bhadra-san. Or so I guess. Iâm not really sure either since the author never really explicitly explained it.
