at a specialty store for women run by the Ricca Chamber of Commerce.

"Um, Miharu sister. This feels too cute to me..."

In the fitting room, there is one girl standing in front of the mound and figure.

There was a figure of Aki in a pink one-piece dress.

"I don't think so. She's so cute."

With a smile and a grin, Miharu praises Aki.

Unflattering hearts came, and Aki dyed her cheeks shyly.

"Do I really have to go with this on?

And, Aki peeks into Miharu's face at the top of her spectacle.

"No, you can't. Because Mr. Hart will buy it for me. Plus, it's like you can wear a robe up there when you walk outside, right?

Miharu shook her head with a grin when she shrugged, although it was a favor for her cute little sister.

After this, Miharu and the others have decided to have lunch in one of the city's leading restaurants.

In anticipation of taking Miharu and the others to Amando on this day, Rio reserved his seat in advance.

I want you to have a little fun when these things happen because you don't usually get to go out.

With that in mind, of course, the quality of the food is reserved for private room seating in an attempt to get people to eat in a private space without being entangled by innocent people during the meal.

But only one problem was the dress code.

It's not very strict from the fact that some customers come with patience, and if it's Ricca Chamber of Commerce branded clothing worn by Mi-chuns, they won't be driven back, but Mi-chuns only have regular clothes with home attire in mind.

I feel somewhat out of place for clothes to wear when I go to such a well-groomed store.

Regardless of the man, Rio or Yatsu, it is not Rio's intention to make Miharu and his women feel very ashamed.

So, because of this, at this time, Rio tried to tell Miharu and the others why not buy a little formal costume.

Miharu and the others are girls too.

I don't want to wear it more than necessary, but I am old enough to admire it in style.

On the other hand, I was honestly delighted that Rio said he could choose whatever clothes he wanted, considering himself.

That's why Miharu and the others, thanking Rio, are all choosing to hang out.

Miharu found a white one-piece dress she liked early and had already bought it before wearing it.

Next to it stands Isiah blurry in a black one-piece dress.

Isiah was free to knit her own clothes, but she also bought a special dress.

It was Miharu who chose that dress.

Miharu took Isiah around, who was blurry and stood up at the store even when she was told she was going to buy a dress.

By the way, the clothes Isiah knitted are knitted in Odd and Mana, and when Isiah spiritualizes, they spiritualize together.

It was Miharu and Isiah who chose the dress early, but Aki and Celia were having difficulty navigating to choose the dress.

More precisely, Celia has made up her mind with a few candidates, but Aki is in trouble with all the unfamiliar clothes.

Because Celia, anyway, Aki has never worn such formal social clothing.

Seeing Aki like that, Miharu decided to help her choose Aki's dress.

Of course, Miharu has no experience in dresses, but I have learned a lot about the image that suits Aki after a long relationship.

When I saw some dresses that looked good on Aki, I decided to ask the clerk to help me change in the fitting room.

That way to the present day.

"But is it okay?

I stared down at the dresses I had dressed myself, and Aki shrugged.

"What's going on?

Miharu asks, observing that the atmosphere of Aki has changed slightly.

"I'm sure this dress is very expensive, isn't it? I saw the clothes of people walking in the city, but the clothes we usually wear seem to be of pretty good quality..."

Coming to this city, Aki felt that the clothes of the people living in the city were much cruder than they were.

Basically, civilians rarely buy something called new clothing and often reuse clothing they can no longer wear to make their own or wear someone's used clothes.

In addition, the materials of the clothes are not as superior as those purchased by Mizuki and others at the Ricca Chamber of Commerce, and the number of clothes they have is low.

These few pieces of clothing have been worn around for years, so overall signs of flaking and re-stitching are noticeable, with many wearing thin, dirty, worn out clothes.

In comparison, Mizuki's everyday clothes are sophisticated in terms of materials and design, and they look just like new.

The robe that covers the entire body you're wearing when you walk outside is the qualitative thing, but if you take it off, you can mistakenly see it as being wealthy.

Until now, he had casually worn the clothes he had been given, but when he came here, Aki came to know how blessed he lived.

And for this minute, I felt thin that I was probably feeding myself a very good meal as well, and suddenly my apologies boiled down.

"Yeah...... We owe it to Mr. Hart to let us live freely. Besides, I'm so sorry I let you have this luxury."

And Miharu told Aki to tell him.

"That's why Miharu is working for us, isn't it?

"Yeah. Because I'm just doing what I can..."

And Miharu smiled bitterly and shook her head.

Miharu actively buys cleaning, laundry and cooking at home.

I get up earlier than anyone in the morning, and occasionally when Rio is away, so much so that nothing goes around chores without Mi-chun.

That way until now, when I was in Japan and my standard of living had not changed, I felt somewhat weak, but this is how I came to the city, which made me think strongly that Aki really came to another world as well.

"That's not true. There's nothing I can do or do about it. And because Miharu has a sister, we feel safe coming to this world."

"I didn't do anything. Thanks to Mr. Hart for everything."

"I don't think so, but it would be really frightening if I hadn't met Mr. Hart"

In retrospect of the time when he was about to be enslaved, Aki trembled lightly.

"You know... how could Mr. Hart get us this far?

Continuing, Aki asked, by and large.

Miharu instantly glanced at him and said, "Huh?," he says, sending his gaze to Aki.

"Because there's no reason for you to get this far. So why..."

and Aki explains why with a slightly confused face.

"I guess that's because Mr. Hart is a kind man."

And Miharu told him without getting lost.

"That's what Miharu thinks of Hart..."

"Yeah. Yeah... but Aki thinks Mr. Hart isn't nice?

slightly round his eyes, Miharu asks.

"Yeah. I don't think so. I don't know much about Mr. Hart..."

Whimpering weakly at the end of the story like a mouthful, Aki drooled her head (like this) to divert her attention from Miharu.

Yes, I do think Rio is sweet.

That's all for sure.

But somehow, there seems to be something about Rio that draws a line harder.

There is an intrusive realm that is sensitive to distance from people, or large personal spaces.

Akira and the others are not familiar with Rio's past or with Rio's previous life.

Sometimes Rio won't talk to me, and somehow it's hard to ask from Akida.

Because of that, I don't feel somewhat close to Rio when he says he's been spending a month with me.

There is some discomfort in the current sense of distance.

Aki had such an unnameable emotion about it.

"Is Aki anxious? Something I don't really know about Mr. Hart."

Pompous and Miharu ask why.

Aki looks up at Miharu's face,

"Anxiety...... is it? What does Miharu think of Mr. Hart?

That's what I asked him.

"Me? I... think I'm a clumsy but very sweet person. And..."

Miharu is about to say it halfway, and I can't stop.

"And?"

When Aki asks,

"Uh, you know what? I'm gonna say something a little weird, but don't get mad at me, will you?

Miharu brought up a rough story to peek at Aki.

"Oh yeah......"

Akichi leans (hides) his neck in surprise.

"Somehow Mr. Hart looks like you, Hal..."

Miharu groans blushly.

The words do reach Aki's ears and change his face haha.

"Hey, what are you talking about? That's not true!

Said Aki, roughing up the conversation.

Immediately realizing something and those around him had sent their gaze to Miharu, Aki rushed to bow her head in regret.

The attention of the surrounding human beings comes off the Mizunas.

"Hey, Miharu sister. I don't even know if I'll see him again. How long do you remember that guy? I don't think you remember Miharu anymore."

With a slight blaming tone, Aki speaks to the rap.

It's been a long time since Miharu talked about the Spring Man.

That's because of Aki, but because the subject of Spring Man was avoided like a taboo.

Even so, I came here and Miharu spoke of the Spring Man.

What the hell kind of a change of heart is that?

But for one thing, Aki was convinced.

He said that the presence of Haruhei Tenkawa still remained in Ayase's mind.

"Yeah, right? I'm sorry. Say something weird suddenly."

Miharu apologizes for how sorry she seems.

"Don't apologize..."

And, Aki turned that way and abandoned it.

Then, there,

"The Spring Man thinks it's very important to you."

and Isiah, who was piercing silence from the side, has spoken that way.

"Eye?

Miharu called Isiah's name.

I join Aki and suddenly see Isiah entering the conversation.

"But the Spring Man is frightened. exposing (Sara) who he really is. I'm ashamed that I'm ugly."

Put aside the confused Mitsubishis and Isiah keeps talking in a pale tone.

Miharu and the others were overwhelmed by the sincerity of the words.

I wonder what the hell you're talking about.

But it seems like you're saying something very important.

"You don't have to like it. But don't hate him. Because the Spring Man is most afraid of it."

Somehow, the phrase resonated deep into the hearts of Miharu and the others.

After saying it, Isiah begins to shut up again.

I kept staring at Miharu and the others.

"What do you mean..."

When Aki tries to ask in a bewildered manner,

"Please wait. I'll try this purple dress. What's wrong?

Celia came after finishing dressing there.

I notice that there is a subtle atmosphere between Miharu and the others that is different from the awkwardness, and I round my eyes.

"Oh, uh, nothing"

Aki answers with awkward words.

Yet Aki cannot fluently manipulate the language of the Strahl region, nor can he be heard sufficiently.

Still somewhat understandable as to what Celia is talking about.

Nevertheless, he said, "What's wrong?" Because of her lack of conversation skills to satisfactorily explain Celia's question, she replied that she had nothing.

"Really? It's time for Hurt to come. I dressed you up, so let me surprise you."

And Celia spoke happily.

I didn't hear everything, but I can read about who you think you're putting that smile on.

"Ah, Hart! How do you like it?

Celia's grin intensified when eventually the person she was looking for showed up to pick her up.

So much so that the same-sex Aki accidentally falls in love.

(I guess Celia likes Mr. Hart)

Look at Celia's delightful face and think of Aki as blurry.

Rio looked at Celia's decorated figure and said, "You look great. Beautiful," he said.

Celia doesn't even look full.

(I wonder what Hart thinks of Celia)

At first, when he brought Celia home, Aki considered the relationship between the two to be something close to her lover.

But it seems to me that Rio respects Celia purely as a teacher.

Do you have romantic feelings there?

Somehow I think about that,

"Aki looks great too. Did you like it?

Rio has spoken to Aki.

"Ah, yes. Thanks! Buy me such good clothes."

He is suddenly spoken to where he was blurry and thinking, and Aki replies unexpectedly.

"I don't mind. In the future, if you need to dress up, you should wear the clothes. When we grow up, we'll buy another garment."

And Rio says with a smile.

"Yes!"

Aki replies happily.

Continuing, Akichi sighed a small sigh of sight at the figure of the jade, who was blindly in love with Isiah and Celia's dress beside Rio.

"Did our fool find a good sword?

"Oh, I found a good sword."

"Excuse me. I even took care of my brother after you bought me some good stuff."

In thanksgiving, Aki bows deeply.

"No, because it's a necessary purchase. I enjoyed looking around a lot, too."

Rio smiled and shook his head (wearing it).

"Really? Good."

Rio's words make me happy, and Aki laughs.

At the same time, Fu's earlier words of Miharu crossed the back of Aki's brain.

That Rio resembles the Tenkawa Chunmen.

The vague appearance of his brother, which he saw when he was still a young boy, occurred to him in his head, and Aki looked (only) slightly at him.

"What's wrong?

Noticing such a trivial change in subdiscipline, Rio asks in wonder.

"Oh, no! It's nothing!

Aki shook her head left and right like she was in a hurry.

"Really? Well, it looks prominent, and it's time to get out"

Say, Rio glances at the store with a bitter smile.

After finishing dressing earlier, Miharu and the others had attracted the attention of the clerks and customers.

Some of them are couples and visitors to the store, especially the men who fell in love with Isiah's appearance have been whispered in their ears by the woman with whom they were brought, but the effect is not so certain.

"It's cold out there, and it stands out, you should wear a proper robe"

Soon I brought Ashi's robe and Rio fluttered it from the top of my dress.

Don't worry about me as if I were your real brother, Aki thought.

At that moment, something falls in Aki.

At the same time, I had no clapping imagination.

"Uh, yes!

But Aki replies forcefully so that he immediately shakes it off.

(You're an idiot, me)

Aki laughed bitterly.

I wonder what you're thinking.

I can't believe I overlap my older brother's figure in Rio when I remember blurring.

Because Miharu must have said something strange.

Absolutely, it must be.

Aki sighed a little grumpy.
