Chapter 295: Girl time

Well in the end, I may be exaggerating my recent strong impressions, and later I will appreciate the situation, and this will just be a fun anectote… or so I hope.

Going back to Cordelia, I thought about it before and maybe this was an opportunity to fulfill my promise to Astrid.

At the time, I thought it was a young girl, but it turned out to be Cordelia. I will still help her, even though she obviously rejected me.

Astrid told me it was just her nervousness or embarrassment speaking for her, something I still find hard to believe… but she knows her daughter better than I do.

Honestly, I feel disappointed. I spent months imagining what my stepdaughters would be like and how to interact with them as their father, but in the end they turned out to be acquaintances…and even lovers.

Honestly, more than once I imagined myself spoiling them like a father to his daughters, but in the end, they were all even older than me.

That revelation came over me with a strange sense of disappointment. Apparently, I had a maternal or paternal instinct I had never known.

’Haaah…. Well, I’ll settle for raising the pangolin. I have to correct that twisted personality….. Hum, well, Ciel too…. Hum, but when are she even planning on enter in?’

“Are you coming in or not?”

Even as I was lost in my thoughts, Cordelia still didn’t enter my room and only glanced at the door intermittently. Tired of waiting, I urged her impatiently.

“Right… Lead the way.”

’Damn, there’s the damn door, just get in.’

Since I didn’t want to go through with it, I just walked in and left the door open.

“Big Sis, what did you go out to do?”

“Haaah, I went out to invite…. Hyaa!!! Cordelia!”

To Alice’s question, I was going to answer that I invited Cordelia, but just as I turned around to check if she had come in, she was right behind me, causing me to unintentionally let out a manly yell.

“Oh, big sister, Cordelia! With her are all of us girls in the group.”

well Alice enthused, for some reason, since the day we found out about Cordelia, she has been extremely positive about her and has even encouraged me to get closer, but leaving that aside….

’But now that Alice mentions it, it’s true that we’re all…. Oh!!, why not make it a girls’ night out? Okay, let’s get this over with quickly!’

I quickly pulled a yellow gem from my storage and waited a moment.

[Oh, Miss Seraphina, what can I help you with today? By the way, the outfits you ordered in the Amazon style are ready.]

“Oh, that’s great, Felix. I’ll go pick them up tomorrow. Now I have a new order. I want proper dresses, this time gala, for a banquet.”

[Huh? Really? Something so… normal?… ehem, I mean, when is it and for how many?]

“Oh, wait a minute.”

I silenced the gem and turned to the girls, who were looking at me strangely. Who knows why.

“When did they say the banquetwas?”

“Five weeks from today, my lady.”

“Oh, after the sixth test. Well, there’s plenty of time…. Ehem, Felix, with the measurements you already have and four new ones, how many dresses do you think you can make in five weeks?”

[Hmm…. That would be eleven including you. If I concentrate solely on your order, at most seven outfits for each of you. But, Miss Seraphina, if it’s also for the royal banquet… I have more customers and-]

Abuse of power technique, first posture – wasting money.

“I’ll pay you triple.”

“Do you have a preference on anything?”

Well, as always, these innate techniques of this body are effective.

“Oh, by the way, of the two larger sizes… oh, come to think of it, with the new one I’ll give you it would be the third, only one dress is necessary.”

Knowing Astrid and her role as instructor, she’ll probably go with her robes or maybe not even attend. And well, Lily, I don’t think I’ll go, but I asked for an extra for future purposes.

[Hmm, let’s see… What are the measurements of the remaining four?]

“Let’s see, the biggest one is .■■■,■■,■■■. She has red hair with blue locks and violet eyes.”

“Oh! That size… I’d be impressed if it wasn’t for the one you gave me before, these measurements are so unreal. Are they familiar?”

“No, but one of the following is. Write it down.”

I gave him the sizes along with hair and eye color, as they were important in choosing shades that would match perfectly.

Felix was better at that than I was, so I always mentioned those distinctive details to him.

[Hmm, Seraphina-sama…. The first one looks more familiar than any of the other three, I mean, besides with the one you gave me recently. All of them are… scarce.]

“Hey! You know they’re all here right now and they heard you. Stop being nosy and get the sets ready for us.”

[Huh? Oh, I’m sorry, miss Seraphina. Me and my bad tongue… Ladies, if you heard me, forgive me. In return, I’ll make you beautiful dresses. Well, that would be it, wouldn’t it? Bye!]

Felix was my trusted tailor and confidant when it came to creating everything that came out of my head.

At first, I was a little uncomfortable having a man design my clothes, but I realized that he wasn’t interested in women that way.

Besides, he was the best in his trade to the point that even if his tastes were not what they were, I would still trust him.

He already had the girls’ specifications for all the things I had ordered from him before and he knew how to match colors better than I did.

Those outfits would be better than I could have imagined myself. He has never let me down and occasionally gives me good ideas, so sometimes we end up talking and creating things for hours. I would say we are good friends.

“Okay, girls, we already have the dresses. Now the accessories, shoes and underwear are missing, okay, let’s go!”

I was motivated, so I started calling all my contacts and made several communications.

The only thing I didn’t have was a contact for the shoes, so I proposed to make an outing later.

–

“Th-that’s it? Just like that?” (Lys)

“Haaah, it’s true that, even as her is, she’s still a high-ranking noblewoman.” (Silvia)

“Uh, well, yeah. Don’t worry, trust me. I even made a reservation the day before with the stylist. Even if it seems impossible, you’ll look even more beautiful than you already are, and on the day of the banquet, don’t be separated from me, I’ll protect you from all the bad nobles.”

“I-I really…? How can I repay you?”(Lys)

“Oh! So you want to repay me? Well, since we’re all girls here, let’s talk about girl stuff. Tell me, what do you like in a man? Do you have an interest in someone? Is it Chris? Have you considered the possibility that you like women? What do you prefer more: platinum hair with blue eyes or black with blue eyes? Favorite food? Ideal place for a date? Favorite color? What color underwear do you wear?”

“Huh? W-what? Chris? Huh? Women? And this… Blue?”(Lys)

“My lady, stop pressuring Lys, she’s panicking. And stop asking intimate questions!”(Elena)

“Wait, Elena! This is important! What’s blue? Your favorite color or is it your-? Agh! Silvia, that kick hurt!”

“Stop it! I brought Lys to this dangerous place, so I have to take responsibility for you not attacking her. If that’s it, we’d better go.”(Silvia)

“Oh, wait, Silvia! Why don’t you stay a while longer? Since we’re all gathered together, why not have some ’girl time’? I mean, those idiots have one, so…. why not even the score, we can have fun too!”

“(ㆆ_ㆆ)”

“Don’t look at me like that, I won’t do anything strange to Lys. You know, afterwards it would be worse for me if I took advantage of her, I being a girl, wouldn’t it? Just the usual.”

They all looked at me with prejudice, but to begin with, I had no intention of doing anything bad to Lys or taking advantage of her just because I’m a woman.

I mean, I do intend to add her to my harem, like Chris, but it would be silly and much more problematic for me to tell her my secrets if I did a lot of things to her being Seraphina.

At best, I’m just looking for friendship, to get to know her better. Maybe she’s more open between girls than with a guy.

As I’ve noticed that she has a certain taste for things that are only done between girls, in fact, when I mentioned it to her, she made an expectant face.

And well, even if I talked about being equal to the boys, my heart and mind would not be ready to go to the female equivalent of Lily’s place. Rather, if I did, I’d be the one injured.

So I only plan on doing things like chatting, drinking and some games, nothing else.

“Fine, but if you do anything untoward, I’ll throw a magma ball at you.”(SIlvia)

Well, Silvia, who seemed to understand my intentions, let her guard down.

“Well, why don’t we start by relaxing with one of my beauty massages? When I’m done, all your impurities will come out and your skin will be soft and smooth, giving you an extra 0.5 of beauty.”

“Really? Come to think of it, when I asked Alice and Elena why they had such beautiful skin, they told me it was because of your massages. But you’re a high-ranking noble and I…. I don’t think you should.”(Lys)

“Oh, don’t worry, it would never, and I mean never, stop me if I can massage a pretty girl.”

“Hey, I told you nothing improper!”(Silvia)

“Wait, Miss Silvia.”(Elena)

“Huh? What your-happens Elena?”(Silvia)

“My Lady may be what she is, but certainly her massages are just that.”(Elena)

“Yes, my big sister is very good.”(Alice)

“Yes, it would seem she could do something to you, but oddly enough she doesn’t, although she could.”(Eira)

“Her massages feel good.”(Selene)

“You just have to ignore her dubious laughter that occasionally escapes. She’s actually very good.”(Aurora)

“Huh? Really? Is it safe?”(Silvia)

“Come on, Silvia, you know I wouldn’t do anything without your consent. Look, you just have to wear these special gowns that only show your back if you’re not sure.”

I’m glad to get the girls’ endorsement, since they know I don’t usually do anything when I give massages, since I usually do them to relieve their bad moods to begin with if I piss them off too much.

And honestly, it’s enough for me to see that they feel good and like it, their happiness is my happiness.

Later in the evening I would have my payment, so I made sure to always put the massage first, plus this time I wanted to leave a good impression on Lys.

Also maybe that would help me to let my guard down a bit with Cordelia and get better acquainted.

Then we would drink and I could get some valuable information out of her. And why not? Just like with the guys, I could make this a more frequent and fun event.

“Okay, let’s have fun!”
