Chapter 36 – Further Hell after Hell – Part 1&2 9

The female camp was joyful the next day as well――Ena and Ellie were changing my clothes since morning just like yesterday.

I wonder just how many of them are there…… these clothes.
The majority of them are dress type clothes, but there was just a little bit of lady’s suit like clothes mixed in.

I wonder if they are planning on changing my image to a girl disguised as a boy…… I’m just a baby, you know?
Suit type clothes, what should I say…… there was nothing like a standard formal wear, but it ranged from clothes with little ornaments to military uniforms with excess decoration.

As to why do I understand the shapes of clothes without being able to see?
That’s relatively simple.
I have become able to visually recognize the blurry clothes on my body.
By directly touching them, I am able to grasp the image to some extent.

When I look at clothes intensively with compression enhanced vision, the accuracy got better, and it became possible to discern details more finely, so the shape of clothes became clear.
If I don’t concentrate I will end up seeing the magical power flowing inside my body, so I a little trick was necessary to do it well.

How should I put it, I have to focus until I feel comfortable?

It’s just that even with the compression enhanced vision, it’s hard to distinct the details on clothes of other people…… But, it’s not impossible.
It’s fairly difficult to focus and even when I do, it gets blurry again immediately.

However, as expected even with the compression enhanced vision, I’m unable to see things without magical power, so there’s a mysterious boundary with “clothes and accessories” and other “items carried on the body.”

It’s a shame that I’m unable to see through the boundary unless I’m wearing it, so I’m unable to make use of the maid-sans who work as hangers.
By the way, the maid-sans who have the roles of hangers are wearing a long skirt and apron with old-fashioned ornaments, and there’s a little maid headdress on their heads.
They have to so-called Victorian maid feel which is totally different from the moe maids that have become popular in the recent years.
I’m afraid to say that the person with wonderful equipment is hiding her tail under her long skirt.

What happens to people with wonderful equipment who have long tails I wonder……
If the tail reacts because of something trifling, the skirt will roll up, and it would be a certain disaster…… Truly pleasing!

There’s also a time boundary in within I can see the clothes. I don’t see them immediately after putting them on a body, it takes a little time after they are put on.
There’s an individual difference between the time, for example, it takes only 1 second to see the clothes on my body, while it takes around 30 seconds before I can see the clothes Theo and Ellie changed into.
I have not seen other people change so I don’t know.
Incidentally, it’s not like I have become able to see…… I just see a black space at the parts where the clothes are.
It’s a kind of a horror.

I have been changed already in more than 30 clothes……
But, even now, Ena and Ellie are continuing to choose the clothes noisily.

Such quantity…… Moreover, all of them fit perfectly on my body.
I’m obviously growing, yet all the clothes are clearly a fit to my body.

I don’t remember having my measurements taken, but……

Even if they expected growth to some extent, wouldn’t they need to minute adjustments to fit the size?
My sewing knowledge is meager, so I may not really know, but it should be difficult to gather so many clothes that perfectly fit on my body, right?

Are they mass produced items?

There were various kinds of children’s clothing specialty shops in my previous life, but would there be such specialty shops in this world?
There is also an option of rental, but this is a different world.
Is there even a concept of renting uniforms and dresses?
Moreover, it’s for a baby this time.

On top of that, this family is wealthy…… I have my doubts but are you saying that all these clothes are made according to my growth……

When I think about how my family dotes on me, it’s so possible it’s scary……

In my previous life, I spend my salary mainly on my hobbies and to play, but I wouldn’t say that I had enough savings to do whatever I wanted.
I am tempted by the urge to stop thinking and become innocent, but if I turn innocent, I will start thinking of partner-sama.
That will make me inevitable discouraged, and I will end up making Ena and others worried.
I must avoid that at all costs.

In short, the only option for me is to think about something constantly, only like that would I be able to endure this dress up hell.

…… Someone, save me~!

In the end, they spend three days on choosing my dress……
What is really scary is that the two+three maids were doing it diligently all this time.

I could hardly copy them…… Am I really of the same gender as those people?
To think that women were such fearful gender…… I might have a slight distrust of women, even though I’m a girl myself.

◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆

After they had finished choosing my clothes, I was surprised that Ellie who was postponing choosing her own dress for three days has already decided on what to wear.

The dress they choose for me after three days of choosing is a summer dress-type organdy dress.
The edges of the overlapping organdy at the chest make a beautiful sequin-like line.
A rose at the left side of my chest, fluffy ribbon around my waist together with the buoyant organdy creates “like a fairy” image according to Theo who muttered so absentmindedly.
It!s also tailored into three skirts and it seems that it’s sewn with a short tulle to put out the volume at the hem.

I more or less got used to a skirt during these three days, but…… The cool sensation is complicated after all.
I feel somewhat uneasy……

I’m by no means cold because of the temperature regulation in the room, but my shoulders and the back are fully open from slightly above the shoulder blades, so it’s quite a bit unsettling.
The color is unclear as usual, but Ellie

「Ah…… White looks on Lily best as expected」

said so in a trance, so it’s apparently white.
By the way, it took two and a half day to choose the dress type.
The remaining half a day was spent on choosing the color.
Although it was only a half day, it wasn’t a relatively short amount of time……
What I don’t want to think about is that it seemed like there was an equal number of clothes as the number of colors in the room.
There were at least five of the same color, of course, there weren’t only single color dresses…… the number of clothes in the room…… I don’t want to even think about it.

By the way, when this dress was decided, Ellie has suddenly decided on her own dress.
After confirming it many times with compression enhanced vision, she selected almost the same organdy dress like me, the only difference was the color, and the position of the rose at the chest area.
As for the color, Ena

「White and black that compliments each other. It’s wonderful~」

said that it’s black.

These two! Is what I thought, but I endured.
Theo in a military-like uniform with few ornaments lost his position.

Theo seems to be in a military uniform with a slender sword on his waist.
The scabbard seems to be little thicker so rather than a rapier, it’s probably a saber?

Rather than a soldier, he’s giving off a cool feeling of a young knight with no armor…… Because he’s so pitiful, I want to give him props.

All three of us have no ornaments on our heads.
It might be natural because it’s for welcoming.

Because we are welcoming, Ena and Ellie are attentively teaching me simple greetings.
Slanting right leg behind, straighten up back while slightly bending left knee and lightly rising the dress by the hem on both sides――The so-called courtesy.

But, remember please, you two…… I’m just a year and half old, you know? There’s no way I can learn something like that…… Think with common sense, please.
No, is it possibly a common sense for one year and a half old to learn such greeting?

I resent not having common sense at times like this.
But, even in the case that I can’t learn it, I wonder if they will remember me as a bad child?

Although I’m thinking such, I’m the one who gave thanks as a 1-year-old at a party in front of 100 people.
It may no longer make sense to do such low-level work anymore.

I don’t want to think much about it, but I shouldn’t be so optimistic.

Maa, I would do it if I have to, I should decide before grandparents arrive.
Rather, they said they will arrive in a few days, but they didn’t give a specific date……
When are they coming?

It’s not like I can ask the three, what should I do?
