Practice Date
"With that in mind, how about we go buy some clothes together?"
"... Date?"
"For starters?"
Kyle had used the word "date" to make the promise, so it made sense to call it a date.
"Oh my..."
Elin looked surprised.
Well, it was understandable that she was startled by Kyle suddenly suggesting a date with her.
Louise also seemed a bit surprised, so that made sense too.
"Are you really going with the young master?"
"Yes."
"... Elin, my head hurts."
"Mine too, a little."
"...?"
Why are they asking that?
"Anyway, let's go buy some clothes with me tomorrow."
"No clothes?"
"No, even if it's a date, I have to wear pretty clothes."
It was a practice date, but still a date.
Wearing her usual clothes when going out with Kyle wasn't proper etiquette.
Thinking about it, Kyle always wore nice clothes whenever they went out together.
She hadn't.
"..."
She wondered if he had wanted to practice dates even before that.
That's why they went out like that?
It seemed plausible.
She always wore her usual suits when going downstairs.
So perhaps he had wanted to create an atmosphere by calling it a date this time.
Kyle was still inexperienced with girls.
He probably wanted to try a date.
"Anyway, so we're going to buy clothes tomorrow?"
"Okay."
"Yes."
She decided to make it feel like a date as Kyle wanted.
Teaching a date to someone who hadn't experienced one before.
Of course, she hadn't experienced one either?
*
"Um..."
"Miss Sophia, is there somewhere uncomfortable?"
"No."
Since the start of the date was together in the castle, it didn't feel very date-like.
Usually, a date doesn't start by gathering at a meeting place.
Normally, when meeting at the appointment place, seeing each other's outfits or different appearances from usual would cause a slight surprise.
"You look pretty today."
"Really..?"
It seemed successful that she bought clothes with friends for the date.
She was wearing a white one-piece dress with a long cape.
After all, wearing a suit for a date wasn't proper.
Kyle might not be as good as the young ladies he's seen, but still pretty good.
"Yes, it would have been nice if I had seen you wearing different clothes from usual suits."
"That's unavoidable. I have to work, after all."
It wasn't allowed for the maid to wear whatever she wanted.
It would be against etiquette.
"Um.. If that's how it is, there's nothing I can do. Still, it's definitely different from the suits I usually wear."
"Thank you."
Receiving praise from Kyle made her feel a bit good.
Praise makes even whales dance, after all.
They walked the streets like that.
Kyle arrived at some store, not a restaurant, as she thought.
"A clothing store..?"
"Yes, you usually wear suits. Today, seeing you in pretty clothes makes you even prettier."
"I see..."
"Yes."
Kyle said that and entered the clothing store.
Inside, there were definitely more feminine clothes than the store she went to recently.
"..."
She didn't dislike clothes.
She wasn't completely uninterested in fashion either.
But... she still had her own line.
There was a line that this wasn't a bit too much.
"...."
There were plenty of clothes that nobles or young ladies would wear.
Many frills, extremely flashy clothes.
Real mini skirts that teenage girls would wear, clothes that accentuated the figure, tight-fitting ones.
"Young master..? How about going to our other clothing store.."
"You should call me Kyle."
"Kyle, let's go to our other store..."
"No. I like this one."
Did Kyle like these kinds of clothes?
Clothes that revealed all body lines, with slits, made of thin silk so skin slightly shows?
Kyle, your taste is exactly like teenage boys'.
Well, even so, this is a bit...
"Well, Sophia. Try this first."
"..."
Kyle handed her a mini skirt and matching frilly shirt from the start.
The top was fine, but the bottom...
"Ha... I understand."
Since it was what Kyle wanted, she started undressing the one-piece in the fitting room.
Because it was a long skirt one-piece, it was less embarrassing.
But at the same time, even with that, it was a bit embarrassing.
"..."
She looked at herself in the mirror wearing only the mini skirt inside the fitting room.
Because she was wearing only underwear without the top, it felt a bit too revealing.
Anyway, she also put on the frilly shirt Kyle gave her.
The shirt seemed a bit small, but she put it on anyway.
After all, it was always uncomfortable to wear clothes because of her breast size.
"Well... this should be okay?"
She tried some poses in front of the mirror.
She didn't know.
One thing was certain: the feeling that air was flowing between her legs was extremely weird.
".. How is it..? It doesn't seem to suit me that well.
Since Kyle was waiting outside, she came out of the fitting room.
When she came out, Kyle's expression hardened.
Was it that bad?
"Kyle..?"
"Ah, you look too pretty, I lost my mind. You really suit it."
"Really..?"
Kyle praised her appearance.
Receiving praise for wearing a mini skirt at 24 was strange.
Feeling a bit good about the praise was also strange.
"Then shall we try the next clothes?"
"... Yes."
Well, the first course seemed to be just changing her clothes again.
Yeah, she was already wearing a mini skirt, what was there to be embarrassed about?
Even now, the feeling of air flowing between her legs was extremely weird.
As long as no stranger clothes came out, there was no reason to be embarrassed.
*
"... Haha.. Kyle..? No matter what, even if this is the case..."
"It's fine. Sophia is pretty."
"No, even if that's the case, this is..."
After several clothing changes, Kyle said it was the last one and handed her another piece of clothing.
And she started fussing over it.
There was no choice.
The clothes Kyle gave were not ordinary, but a slightly revealing type of dress!
"U.. How do I wear a dress with a hole in the chest!!"
"That's a good part."
"Kyle, no, young master. Young ladies of young noble families don't wear this kind of clothes either. How am I supposed to wear such clothes..."
The clothes Kyle handed were extremely revealing.
It was a black dress.
But not just a black dress.
There was a hole in the chest area showing the cleavage, and slits on the skirt exposing the thighs.
Moreover, the back was cut out.
Anyway, extremely revealing!
"Young master, please, no other clothes? Like..?"
"Um... Sophia, your speech is wrong."
"No, that's not the problem right now. .. How am I supposed to wear this kind of clothes."
"It's fine. Try it on once and come."
"Ugh... Ack.."
Kyle handed her the dress and pushed her into the fitting room.
Due to the difference in strength, she couldn't resist properly.
"...."
She looked at the dress in her hand.
Clearly, it was an extremely expensive item.
A dress that would take her salary several times over.
"...."
What was worse was how revealing it was.
Was it okay for such revealing clothes?
"I have to wear it...?"
After all, it was the clothes Kyle asked her to wear.
If she refused coldly when going out for a date, it might wound him a bit.
Extremely embarrassing, but...
"Ha..."
Wasn't this clothes that a prostitute would wear?!
No, a prostitute couldn't afford it.
Maybe her sense of chastity was just too strong?
Selling clothes like this casually in the territory meant it was somewhat normal clothes.
Normal clothes that people wear...
"It doesn't seem like it..."
