Without an explanation of what he came up with, Garnett took him back to the Argentia family's other house.

　After greeting the elderly caretaker and his wife, who were tinkering in the garden, they went back inside the house and headed to Abigail's place where she was cleaning Garnett's room.

'Abigail!　Sorry, but I need your clothes!
I thought you were home early, but what happened to you? I can't lend you these clothes. I don't enjoy doing housework in the nude.
I'm not saying I'm going to rip off what you're wearing. I'm just asking for your clothes, if you have any.

　Garnett's sudden offer to lend her clothes is a big one, but Abigail's straight-faced response is also quite penetrating.

　Was she just being blunt, or was this a very natural response?

　I just met this servant girl for the first time this morning, so I couldn't make a decision about that.

　Nevertheless, I also entered Garnett's room with the force of momentum, but I wondered for a moment if it was really a good idea -- but I soon realized that there was no big problem.

　There is absolutely nothing in the room that looks like personal belongings, and it's tidy enough to lend it to someone else right now.

　Come to think of it, it's only natural.
　This is only a separate residence for visitors, and even though it's called Garnett's room, it doesn't mean anything more than 'Garnett's room where he's currently staying.

''I've left my personal clothes at the main residence. I'm only planning to work at the villa while Garnett-sama is staying there. All I have on hand is this spare set of clothes and my nightgown.
"Gu...... Well, you're right, you're wrong: ......
'If you need women's clothing, why don't you use the "Lady Alma's" nightgown?　If that's the case, I've brought in some clothes.
You can't walk around town with that thing, you know. I don't even want to go outside the house. It's so out of place, people will think you're a street performer costume.

　Abigail let out a sigh as if she'd figured something out, stopped cleaning and turned to Garnett.

'In short. You want to be dressed to walk around town with a man(s) and a woman(s) with Master Luke? If that's the case, then it's a bit much to wear for a young lady.
...... That's right. What's wrong with that?
It can't be bad. In fact, I'm quite impressed.

　While he said that, his face and voice had not changed.

'But if you need proper clothing, could you not buy it from a clothing store?　If you're a merchant on my family's payroll, I'm sure you wouldn't have to worry about secrets.
"It's not too early to get serious about it, but ...... it's just a disguise, and if I buy it in that store, I'm going to have to talk to your father about it. ......?

　After being bombarded with a barrage of straightforward pointers, Garnett was too busy slurring his words back to me.

　I, on the other hand, wasn't sure if I should interrupt this conversation and could only look behind me without saying anything.

　Abigail let out another - this time with a big sigh.

'I'm awed. Then let me lend you a spare pair of my work clothes. Please disguise yourself as a servant for now, and as soon as you're ready, please purchase the appropriate clothing.










　It seems that they've settled the matter first, and I was made to wait in the living room until Garnett finished changing.

　What Garnett was talking about earlier, he was talking about wearing a disguise and going out on the town just like that.

　It's simple, but it could certainly be an effective method.

　Especially in the case of Garnett, it was also significant that even if the disguise was detected, there was a chance that it wouldn't get to his true identity.

''Master Luke, thank you for your patience. I have just finished dressing up.

　Abigail appears in the living room and Garnett comes in behind her, dressed in the same outfit.

　She is dressed in black, with a long skirt, a servant-like black outfit.
　Since she doesn't wear an apron, her overall white color is reduced, and she's dressed in all black with a hint of white.

　The long sleeves and long skirt don't expose much skin, but it's made to squeeze thinly around the waist, highlighting the slenderness of Garnet's body.

　Her golden hair, which was usually tucked behind her head, was now untied and swept to her shoulders, giving her overall silhouette a different and softer look than usual.

　The make-up to match her clothes was also neatly applied, creating a sense of cleanliness befitting a servant of a prominent family, even though it was less flashy.

'What the ...... don't stare at me silently. Why don't you say something ......?
'Master Garnett wishes to be complimentary. I would appreciate your candid feedback.
Abigail!　I didn't say that!

　Sheesh. I had forgotten to react and looked at her.

　As was the case at last night's evening party, Garnett, who changed her clothes and hair style, looks like a different person.

　However, it's completely wrong to say that if you dress like a girl, you become beautiful as a different person - that's not true.

　Even the usual Garnett will never be the same.
　It's just that the direction of the garnet changes all at once.

It's just that this kind of thing looks good on you. Is it because the material is the best after all?
That's my boy, Master Luke. You know what you're doing. I'd like to put my skills to the test too, if you'll allow me.
Oh, you guys. ......!

　Garnett's shoulders quivered as he stared at us, who had agreed to disagree.

　Abigail took the Lord's reaction lightly and put a large hat on Garnett from behind.

　This one was also designed to match the clothing.

　It was rounded and soft, without a peak or rim, and the excess fabric hung down towards the back of her head.

''It is my go-to hat. If you leave your hair (ogshi) showing, you'll be easily distracted. Even a single hat can give a very different impression.
Sorry about that. Thank you.

　As Abigail had said, Garnett's hat had a different look.

　If you view this as a purely 'disguise', the effect is extraordinary.
　It's also useful for the knight's business of infiltration and hiding.

...... Okay!

　As he regained his spirits as if he were about to fight, Garnett walked towards the doorway with a big stride.

'Master Garnet. Don't forget that you are wearing a skirt.
I know what I'm doing!　d*mn, it's hard to walk around. ......

　Garnett restrained his paces awkwardly, looking unfamiliar.
　I was about to follow suit and leave the villa, but Abigail stopped me in the doorway.

'Master Luke,'

　When I turned around, Abigail had her hands together in front of her body, straightening her back and looking straight at me.

'Please take care of your daughter, please do so.

　Then Abigail bowed deeply and remained in that position until I left the property.
