The plain and unnoticed me is no more

This morning is a sunny day with no clouds, making it a great garden party day.

I wore a dress less assertive than Maria, the star of the day, and a small hat that matched the dress. And, of course, no makeup.

Although there is no other way to go out as Elaine, it doesn't settle down to go out in public with your face on.

And Sin, dressed in an example costume that was cherished at home, was wearing a long-haired wig that I had prepared and presented to everyone.

Black-haired wigs are more effective than expected, creating a shady, inaccessible atmosphere.

Ready to go out, we left home an hour earlier than the time when the party started when everyone dropped us off.

Our carriage has two guards on the horse, one behind the other, and it has a messy atmosphere.

"Hey, it won't take an hour by carriage to get to the house where Kevin works. You left the house too soon, didn't you?

"It's okay, I need to stop by. Hey, Sin, I was thinking... if someone asks about you, I'll tell them that you're a grandson who's close to Alford's great-grandmother."

"Hmm? It's not what my grandfather said, but is it okay?

"I don't care about that, but it would be better if I didn't lie as much as possible, so would Sin and I.

"Well, sure. I've been told to shut up and stay next to the owner, so please explain."

"Roger that, Sin. I'm sorry I'm so unfamiliar with you, but it's nice to meet you today."

Sin smiled and nodded lightly, looking out the window.

When we were brought to the Mansion, it was dark and nothing was visible, but Singh remembered the path he had taken with his father when he was a little girl, and occasionally looked at the scenery flowing with a gentle face in response to something.

After a while, the carriage that took us stopped on one street.

Sin, looking out the window silently without knowing where he was going, looked at the signs of the shops lined up on the street and looked obviously disgusting.

This is Genos Street, a cupcake shop called Pollon, which used to be used by Chiyo.

The Show Window displays cute dresses, shoes, decorative compact mirrors, makeup items, and more, filled with things that girls seem to like no matter where they look.

The colors of the buildings facing the street are unified in pastel color, and shops that target teenage and early twenties are lined up, so to speak, a popular destination.

"Ooh... hey, are you going to enjoy shopping here long while the bounty hunters are looking for you in blood? I don't suppose you want to be a decoy."

"Yeah? I'm not going that far. But I want to buy a present for Maria and tell the town that Elaine Norris is not missing. No?"

Elaine Norris is famous enough to be known in downtown.

Now, if I walk down the street from the Duke of Norris' crested carriage, my eyes will gather naturally.

Even if you attend a party at Calvini Mansion and there are rumors among the nobles about me, it will take time for the information to reach the public. I want this problem solved as soon as possible.

I wanted to do this as soon as my grandfather and father forgave me.

There are four guards today. I'm sure there are others hiding, and Sin and Weiss will be right next to us. Besides, there are more soldiers on patrol than usual.

I want to believe you're not stupid enough to try to grab me here.

"... okay. If anything happens, I'll protect you. Do what you want."

"Thank you, Sin!

Though I thought I might disagree with the worried Thin, but she said she would let me out of her pants.

And Sin, who got off the carriage earlier, reached out to me and gracefully lowered him off the carriage, and put his hand on his arm.

I've walked with Singh several times, but I'm a little nervous since I've never put my arms together.

I've been unconscious about Singh strangely since I left the inn, but the symptoms seem to return...

When I was thinking about that, I heard a voice calling my name from behind.

Elaine!

The people around me looked at me all at once. I looked around in response to the voice of the person walking across the street and stopped looking at me with my emblemed carriage and platinum blonde hair.

I was ready to get noticed, but this was unexpected.

"Ahh... you've been spotted by a troublesome guy. Ignore?

"It's impossible for people around you to react like this. Thin, try not to look at me."

When I looked back, the Lord of Voices was approaching with a fierce dash.

Elaine, what are you doing here? Maybe you came back unaware of the bounty on you?

"Long time no see, Evan. I know about the bounty. Still, I wanted to celebrate your friend's birthday."

"Oh, it's Maria Calvani's birthday...."

"I have to go as soon as I buy a present. If you don't need me, I'll excuse you."

Evan grabbed my arm as I tried to gently confess and head to the shop I was looking for.

"Wait, Elaine. We finally met. Give me some time to talk."

Get your hands off her.

When I was in trouble, Sin pulled Evan's hand away and held me by the shoulder. Having seen it, Evan asks me with a dazed expression.

"Elaine, who is this man? Are you sure you can trust him?

"... I'm here to take care of you. Um... is that enough? I'm running out of time to pick up a present."

Saying so slightly, Evan lowered her head to her chest. The people around me are watching this with interest.

"Wait, this is all I want to tell you. I'm so sorry about that! I've always wanted to apologize for knowing that I hurt my leg!

"... it's loud. Can you think of a place?

I can see that we're looking curious without looking around.

Evan also noticed that she had failed, and then kept talking with her voice down.

"Ah... I'm sorry. I was upset to see you unexpectedly. Are you back at the Mansion now?

"Yeah, just for a while."

"Then let me go and apologize officially. I'm too busy to take much time, but I need to talk to you. I know it's a big wish."

I nodded and replied, turning my hand to the hand of the offered Singh and headed to the store of interest. I felt Evan's gaze on my back.

I know very well that he is not a bad person. Evan's behavior on that party day was so strange that he thought the fairies in Sandra might have influenced others.

If only the power of the goddess inside me had been unleashed, the situation would have been completely different. It makes no sense to think about this, but sometimes I think about it.

"Are you gonna get an apology?

"... he suffered terribly, but he's a familiar one. It's been more than six months since then. If you're reflecting, you don't want to drag each other forever, do you?

"That's the owner, that's very nostalgic. So if you want to clear up and move forward, you better get rid of the problem."

"But if you don't come while I'm at the Mansion, that's it."

Then we bought a beautiful set of glass pens and ink pots that we had been looking at for as a gift to Maria while getting the attention of our surroundings and headed to Calvani Mansion.
