Chapter 8: I Tried Turning the Three of Them into Dress-Up Dolls
The main heroine’s specs are incredible! By the time half a year had passed since she came to my estate, she had become able to read, write, and do arithmetic normally.
Her complexion also looked healthy, her movements were agile, and she perfectly learned her duties as a Maid, not making any blunders.
Recently, she’s also become good friends with Fina, and the two beautiful girls are working together charmingly.
Watching them is very cute and a feast for the eyes. Being excellent is a good thing.
To enjoy such a feast for the eyes even more, what should I do?
“Fina, Liese, Maria-san. We’re going out, so get ready.”
I summoned the three of them after they finished their morning work. While the soft sunlight illuminated the mansion, I, while organizing documents in my Office, informed them that we would be going out.
Some time has passed since Liese and Maria came to this mansion.
I’ve ordered the other Maids to provide them with clothes, but they somehow feel plain.
Especially Maria-san, she wears loose, baggy clothes and seems to be trying to be plain and inconspicuous.
Moreover, regarding Fina’s and Liese’s clothes too, while it’s true that anything would suit the two beautiful girls if they wore it, I felt they were a bit too plain to bring out their individual personalities.
“Are you going out, Lord Serios?”
“That’s right, Fina. Today, I’m taking Liese and Maria-san too.”
“Understood.”
When I said that, the three of them showed different reactions.
The cool Fina responded like a doll, as usual.
Liese looked a little bewildered; perhaps she doesn’t have many good memories of the town.
Maria-san was smiling.
“To town… What exactly are we going to do?”
“To buy clothes. I want to get something that suits each of you three.”
At those words, Liese’s and Maria-san’s expressions changed to surprise.
“Eh? New clothes? We don’t need anything like that!”
Liese was the first to refuse the idea of buying clothes.
“To think… you would go to such lengths for us, we are deeply humbled. You’ve already given us work, food, and even wages… any more than this is!”
Maria-san’s smile also changed to bewilderment.
“What are you misunderstanding? I bought you all. Liese, there’s no mistake about that, right?”
“Yes! I will do anything for Lord Serios. But, why? How does that lead to buying clothes?”
“Well. First, you all are members of this household. It’s only natural to maintain your appearance. And, I want to see you all looking beautiful.”
At my words, the three’s expressions changed from bewilderment to, for some reason, smiles. Hmph, I’m giving an order, yet what are they smiling about?
“…Thank you very much.”
In the afternoon, we boarded the carriage and headed to town. When we entered a large Tailor in the center of town, a clerk greeted us with a smile.
“Welcome. How may I help you today?”
“I want to choose clothes for them. I’d like designs that suit their individual personalities.”
When I said that, the clerk nodded happily and guided the three of them to their respective fitting rooms. I sat down on a sofa in the store and used the waiting time to read.
The first one to appear was Fina. She wore a simple and sophisticated black-based one-piece Dress, which highlighted her silver hair and accentuated her cool impression.
“How is it?”
She looked at me through the mirror and smiled just a little.
“It’s not bad. But it might be a little too flashy.”
“I don’t think it’s flashy. Rather, it suits the current Fina very well.”
When I said that, Fina blushed faintly and replied modestly, “Thank you very much.”
Next to appear was Liese. She wore a lovely Dress adorned with pale pink frills and had a beaming smile on her face.
“Lord Serios, how is it?”
She twirled her skirt lightly and looked at me happily. Her appearance was as adorable as a fairy who had jumped right out of a fairytale.
“It suits you very well. You look just like a fairy.”
“Really? I’m so happy!”
Liese blushed and adjusted her skirt.
Finally, Maria-san appeared. She was clad in a soft, pastel blue Dress, which highlighted her elegant, curvaceous beauty. It seemed as though elegance had been added to her motherly aura.
“How do I look…?”
With the Dress having an open neckline, she asked, looking down a little shyly. At that gesture, I was momentarily lost for words and silently nodded.
“Perfect. No other words are necessary.”
Maria was surprised by those words, and then smiled as if relieved.
“Thank you very much. If Lord Serios says so…”
By the time the three of them had finished choosing their new clothes, the clerk, while preparing the bundled bags, said.
“They all looked wonderful on each of you. You have a good master, don’t you?”
To those words,
Liese replied cheerfully, “Yes, Lord Serios is truly kind!”
Meanwhile, Fina agreed modestly, “That’s right.”
Maria-san, with a gentle smile, expressed her gratitude, “We are truly grateful.”
While thinking, ‘What am I even saying?’ I had them purchase dozens more outfits for each of them—not just beautiful Dresses, but also proper everyday clothes.
Inside the carriage on the way back, seeing the three of them happily laughing together while talking about the clothes they had each chosen, I let out a small sigh.
When three women get together, they sure talk a lot.
However, since Liese and Maria-san came, I feel like the mansion has become brighter than before.
From now on as well, I must continue to make an effort so that the three of them can live happily in this mansion. Holding such thoughts in my heart, I entrusted myself to the swaying of the carriage.
