There was an awkward silence at breakfast.
Elric glanced at Tyria with a bulging face.
How can you have such bad sleeping habits and not know it?
On the contrary, it is too much to pass on responsibility.
I’ve tried conveying that intention with eye movements, but it seems like we’re not close enough to convey that yet.
Tyria relaxed with her characteristic expressionless expression as if nothing had happened… No, she finished her meal a little earlier than usual.
“I will come prepared to go out. The head of the family is also slowly preparing.”
“… “I understand.”
So I went back to my room and changed into my going out clothes.
Elric, who came out dressed roughly in ready-made clothes, was only able to see her after about 20 minutes.
Elric was slightly surprised.
“You look like you’re wearing light clothes.”
“Is there any reason to go even further?”
She was wearing a coat over a gray going-out dress and a fur cape over that.
It was an outfit suitable for a winter outing, but in other words, it was an outfit that did not show much of the splendor typical of nobles.
The place I was going today was a dressmaker specializing in ball gowns even on the most luxurious aristocratic street in the capital.
As Elric knew, when visiting such places, the nobles wore flashy outfits as if they were competing to see who was more flashy, but it was sad that she was second to none when it came to nobles, but in this respect, she seemed different from other nobles, so it felt unfamiliar.
“Fancy things can only be done at banquets. No, it’s best to avoid anything too flashy even there. “It could be seen as excessive and doesn’t fit the theme.”
“For example, it would be the beauty of moderation.”
“That is the correct expression.”
Elric nodded and looked around for a moment.
I was looking for Rdio, but for some reason I couldn’t see him.
“What are you looking for?”
“I can’t see Rdio. “He even said he was going out and tried to go.”
“Oh, I told you to go arrange a bed in advance. “I happened to have a letter to write in that direction.”
Ah, indeed.
Elric remembered how angry she had been the day before when she saw the broken bed.
“… I understand. “Then let’s go by ourselves.”
“yes.”
So the two people left the mansion.
*
In the royal capital of Ferdin, there was a separate street for nobles.
It is called No. 1 Street, as it is conveniently called, and it is a place where the mansions of the royal capital’s influential nobles are concentrated, and the commercial district was developed to cater to them.
In the middle of the street, colorful carriages were running one after another.
On the walkway on either side, people who looked like nobles at a glance were moving around with the help of servants, and somewhere else, people who appeared to be the mansion’s managers were busily going about their business.
I feel a certain vitality.
And the awkwardness that emerged was due to the discrepancy between the lives of the western nobles that Elric knew and theirs.
‘Everyone is calm.’
From the relaxed expression on his face, I could immediately see that he was living a fairly peaceful life.
If I sharpened my senses, I could occasionally hear their conversation.
-You must meet Count Nimrud at this banquet. You must have researched his tastes, right?
-It’s my daughter’s debutante. There can’t be a single mistake.
-I will spend time alone with Gillian Youngsik at this banquet! So you have to get the robe on time?
It was a conversation between people living in an era of peace.
The West wasn’t like that.
No matter where you went there, there were only voices discussing the aspects of the war with serious expressions.
“You can just go in there.”

“Oh, I guess it’s already arrived.”
Meanwhile, the place where Tyria led Elric was a quiet dressmaker in a little corner.
“Oh, there’s a vibe.”
The clothes on the mannequin beyond the window are very neat.
Of course, Elric’s taste is to wear various decorations and chains, but wouldn’t he be ridiculed if he wore something like that to a banquet?
In terms of nobility, it was a passing grade.
“It’s a place that specializes in men’s clothing. “The former head of the family often used this place when attending banquets.”
I couldn’t help but feel momentarily shocked when my father’s story came out.
This also needs to be changed a bit.
Elric felt embarrassed for no reason.
‘… Anyway, it’s a sure sure check.’
Regardless of emotions, it is certain that the father’s taste is preferred externally.
Elric followed her into the dressmaker’s shop.
“Welcome fifty… Ah, Baroness Portman!”
“It’s been a while.”
Madame, who had a large appearance, welcomed Tyria.
Then he turned his gaze to Elric.
“this person is… .”
“I am the head of the family.”
“oh!”
Shock began to appear on her face.
Elric laughed awkwardly.
‘Yes, it couldn’t have been rumored.’
If the rumor had been that she was Elric Portman, the prodigal son who ran away from home, rather than as the swordsman Kasha, it would have spread quite widely within Ferden.
Aren’t nobles ultimately a race of people who can’t give up their love of talking about others?
Portman’s family history, who was belatedly incorporated into the nobility, must have amused them.
I felt embarrassed, but I couldn’t show it.
Whatever it is, it was an evaluation I brought upon myself, so I had no choice but to face it.
Elric held out his hand and offered to shake it.
“I’ve heard a lot of stories. “I came today to look for clothes to wear to the banquet, and when I saw the entrance, I thought I could trust your skills.”
The method of speaking that makes the opponent float was something I learned from Elbers Graham.
Fortunately, Madame took great pleasure in the compliment and smiled.
“Oh my! you’re welcome.”
The sound of laughter was loud.
Madame’s tendencies were quite clearly visible.
“Let’s see… .”
Madame’s eyes looked Elric up and down.
However, the more he did it, the more trouble began to appear on his face.
Tyria asked curiously.
“What’s going on?”
“… “You have quite a large physique.”
“Is that a problem?”
“I don’t think the clothes I made will work.”
Elric broke into a cold sweat at those words.
It was a natural crisis.
It is a body that was designed to be used on the battlefield in the first place.
Moreover, as he learned the sword world, his life and mana were distorted even to his skeleton, so Elric’s size could not be the same as that of the eastern nobles who lived peacefully.
Even if you just went out on the street right now, Elric was about a head taller than the others.
Elric said, recalling the measurements he had taken with the help of Elbers when attending a previous imperial banquet.
“I remember my height was around 184cm. As for other parts… .”
“no. no.”
“hmm?”
“I guess I’ll have to measure this myself. “If the numbers are different from what you remember, you will be in trouble.”
A light came into Madame’s eyes.
The eyes were full of strange passion.
Should I say that the craftsmanship stands out?
Elric looked at Tyria.
Tyria nodded and said.
“Please come back in stock. “This is the only schedule for the morning anyway, so you can take your time.”
She sat down on the sofa.
Elric was a little troubled.
‘hmm… .’
I wasn’t happy about showing my body to others.
No, not exactly.
‘This madam’s mouth shouldn’t be cumming.’
As Elric Portman, it was very difficult to show this body to others.
*
The dressmaker’s Madame Seri entered the workroom and guided Elric.
“You can just stand here. Oh, could you please take off your top? “It’s hard to measure the size right away.”
It was a bit of an excuse.
Publican’s real purpose was his professional curiosity and passion.
‘beautiful!’
I wasn’t talking about the face.
The body of the prodigal son named Elric Portman had the most ideal skeleton in Seri’s opinion.
It’s a body that inspires you just by looking at its clothes.
I wanted to take it off.
Seri could not escape the desire to clearly see the shape of the muscles engraved on that body.
It may be inevitable that your eyes become shiny.
Elric looked a little scared, but Seri had no way of knowing.
“that… .”
“yes?”
“… “Can you promise me just one thing?”
In the meantime, Seri’s head lifted up at the words she heard.
Elric said with a shy smile as if he was in trouble.
“I hope there are no rumors about my body. “I don’t think you’d be happy to tell anyone about it.”
What kind of shameful secret is there to tell me this already?
But it wasn’t funny.
“I’m not big enough to talk about the private affairs of nobles. “If that were the case, I wouldn’t have been doing this for 30 years.”
Is it because I don’t live as a nobleman that I don’t know much about this?
When Seri spoke, Elric felt relieved and slowly began to undo his jacket.
Gurgling, dry saliva went down the back of Seri’s throat.
As my coat disappears and my tie comes undone, I feel like I’m getting hotter, and when the buttons on my dress shirt start to come undone, I feel like firecrackers explode in my head at the glimpse of muscle lines that are revealed.
and,
“… uh?”
The moment Seri saw the body stripped down to the dress shirt, she stiffened.
“Once again, I would like to ask you to maintain confidentiality.”
Suddenly a thought occurred to her.
‘Have you been tortured?’ ?’
Elric’s body was full of terrible marks.
In her imagination, it was incomprehensible how she could live with such disfigurement.
Seri suddenly became afraid of him.
Because it was a body that clearly showed that he had lived an unusual life.
Instinct spoke.
‘Ho, if this incident becomes known… .’
Could it be that Elric Portman rips his own head off?
Seri’s fingertips began to tremble.
