I decided to take Garnett's suggestion and head back to the Argentia family's villa.

　His maid of honor, Abigail, was once again taken aback by his return before sunset, but he was tired from walking around for shopping today, and he was eager to get some rest quickly.

　He took a break in the living room and then had dinner and washed off the sweat of the day before getting into a relaxed position to relax.

　His Majesty the King would not return to King's Landing until two nights later, and I finished everything I wanted to do, including buying some souvenirs.

　This allowed us to free up the entire day tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, as planned.

　Should we decide where to go and what to do?
　Maybe I could ask Abigail to give me some recommendations on where to go.

　As I was thinking about this, I heard a visitor at the front door and Abigail went to answer it.

　Abigail returned a few moments later, holding a large bag in both hands.

'...... what's that?'
'This is a package from Sun Dial Trading Company. They said they had already received payment for it, including the delivery charge. Doesn't Mr. Garnett know about it?
No, not at all.

　Garnett tilted his head quizzically, but I had an idea of what was in the package.

'That was quicker than I expected. I didn't expect it to arrive today.'
'What?　White wolf, is this your cargo?
Well, it's a bit of a stretch.

　With Garnett and the others looking at me with interest, I open the tightly packed bag.

　The contents of the bag are several pieces of clothing. It's also disproportionate in size and design for me to wear.

　I hand the clothes over to where they should be, feeling grateful and admiration for Chairman Dorothea's quick and reliable work.

'Here, garnet.
...... Huh?

　Completely caught off guard, Garnett accepted the clothes as they were pressed in.

'You went to the Sun Dial Chamber of Commerce today. That's when I asked Chairman Dorothea for some clothes that would suit Alma and Garnett," he said. I was hoping to get them delivered to Green Hollow later, but it's awesome that they arrived that day.
'Oh, you ......!　You're talking about that when I'm not around!

　Garnett shouted out with a face that was neither angry nor confused, but he didn't throw his clothes away, holding them tightly.

'As expected, Luke-sama. You can't disregard this kindness. Now, now, come here.
Hey, hey!　Don't push me!

　Abigail, clearly in a good mood, pushed Garnett back and disappeared into the other room.

　I was left alone in the room, waiting for a while.

　Eventually I almost forgot to breathe when I saw Garnett coming back with Abigail.

　It was different from the party outfit I'd worn for the evening party and the samurai outfit I'd worn yesterday for the odd(...) outfit, and it was an outing outfit for walking around town dressed for everyday life without any discomfort.

　They are not overly revealing or overly ornate, and they color the wearer in a very natural way.

　However, if one were to use a metaphor, it would be like a ring as a foundation for supporting jewelry.

　It's a good thing that the girl's face is wrapped up in the stylish clothes, just like a boxwood boxwood shining on a precious metal ring.

I'm going to have to say something ...... don't say anything at all. The only thing I have a bad feeling about is what's being said.
'You don't like ......?'　I was just thinking about what I was going to say.
"I don't like it, I don't like it. ...... Oh shit, it's not working at all. ......

　As they were exchanging such an exchange, Abigail, who had left the place before she knew it, returned from the doorway with another bag.

'I couldn't carry it all at once, so I had to put it off, but I actually still had a few more bags to carry.
Jesus Christ, how many outfits did you send me?

　Garnett's face contorted in a blatantly flinching manner.

　She's dressed in cute, girlish clothes and speaks and looks rough as usual, so the gap is just awesome.

　As far as I feel that's rather good, maybe I'm generally ruffled up too.

''There is a letter from Dorothea-sama attached here. Would you like me to read it to you?
Can you do that?
I accept. I'll skip the standard greeting. See you at .......

　Abigail made a gesture of coughing and then began to read Chairman Dorothea's letter in a voice that came through better than usual.

'...... Now, I have sent out the clothing that I believe would suit Sir Garnett and Miss Alma as you ordered, but there is one thing that I am really concerned about. It is my concern that Lord Luke's attire next to your brother and sister would create disharmony. ......
Hmm. ......?

　I had a feeling that the tide was going to turn.
　I didn't expect this preface to be .......

It's not a matter of time before you get to know your brother and sister better, but we'd like to present you with a garment that is in perfect harmony with the clothes we've made for you. This is a voluntary service and we do not charge for it. We would be delighted if you could wear it when you go out with your brother or sister. ......

　I can picture Dorothea's nice smile in my head.

　Sheesh, I'm totally done.
　My thoughts can't keep up with the unexpected.

　Behind the scenes when I asked Dorothea for advice on sending Garnett clothes, Dorothea was planning to get me to dress appropriately to walk next to Garnett - or Alma.

　And of course, Garnett grinned like a bad boy and put a hand on my shoulder.

Good thing they're your clothes. Of course you're going to show me, right?　And it's not fair that I'm the only dress-up doll.
"If I may be so bold, I agree with Dorothea. I have foolishly thought it somewhat incongruous for you to walk next to the young lady in your unadventurous attire.

　The pressure of two people pinning me from both sides.

　Apparently there was no way out.
　Giving up the futile resistance, I moved to another room to change clothes.

...... I know it's a fancy dress, but does this look good on you?

　If I had to describe it in words, I would describe it as "refined", "stylish", or "cosy".

　It's simple and sophisticated without being tacky, and it's reasonably good looking without being obnoxious or flashy.

　However, for me, clothing is something that I choose for its practicality, putting emphasis on robustness, ease of movement and longevity.

　I'm not sure if this kind of clothing is really suitable for me.
　The other day, when I wore a nightgown, I laughed at how unsuitable it was.

But I can't afford not to wear .......

　I dressed with anxiety and returned to them with the intention of getting dressed and returning to them.

　Garnett and Abigail rolled their eyes together and stared at me from various angles without reservation.

'Heh ......!　That's pretty good!
It seems that being slender is an advantage. As expected from the Sun Dial Trading Company ......, it's not to be underestimated.

　I'm grateful for the positive reaction, but I can't help but feel more embarrassed than happy.

　As if she could see right through my innermost thoughts, Garnett sneered and smiled - she looked prettier than usual, partly because of the atmosphere of her clothes - and looked into my upset face.

Now you understand me a little better, don't you?　By the way, I understand how you feel. This guy is fun to be around!
Dressing up a guy isn't even fun: ......

　To be honest, there was no way to deny either of their feelings, so I tried to deflect the conversation, understanding that it was a painful evasion.

　However, the spear that crushed Garnett's resistance with every spare moment came from a detached force called Abigail.

The two of you are very well suited for each other. If you walked side by side, the coloration would harmonize beautifully ...... The person who made this choice is a master of the trade. Anyone who sees them will immediately recognize them as lovers.
Nah, ......!

　Garnett made a strange sound and stiffened.

　In the meantime, Abigail continued to speak smoothly with the force of water on a stand-up board.

'I wish you all the best in matching outfits tomorrow. You should by all means do so. This Abigail, I'm willing to uproot and wash your other clothes to eliminate your options.
Oh, come on, man. ......

　Next to Garnett, who couldn't even get properly angry, I could only stare up at the ceiling, unable to say anything.
