Chapter 26 - Looking cute clothes for Elsa

We left the house and went out to the center of the royal capital.

We left the residential area and then headed to the main street.

The main street of the royal capital was lined with various shops, where people, both young and old, men and women gathered, and even the carriages of hawkers came and went.

"It's as crowded as ever. I feel dizzy."

Anna muttered as she watched the waves of passersby.

"Royal capital is a city in the center of the surrounding towns and villages. Of course you'll find a lot of people visiting. There is no shortage of people at any time of the day or night throughout the year."

"It's like fireflies that attracted by light."

"Of course, that could lead to dangerous people getting mixed up. That's why we, the Knight Order, have to always on guard."

"Elsa. Is that why you've been so wary of your surroundings earlier?"

"Ee. I'm keeping an eye out for any suspicious people."

"This day's your day off, why don't you leave it to the other knights? I mean, what's going on with that outfit of yours?"

"Is, is this weird?"

"Of course. With all of us in casual clothes, you're the only one in armor. It's hard enough to not call it weird."

Anna looked at Elsa in amazement.

While I, Anna, and Meryl were each wore casual clothes, Elsa was the only one in armor. At her waist, was her beloved sword.

"But.... This's just light equipment you know, just in case. Usually, I'm equipped a bit heavier."

"That's not what I mean. You're saying that you're not pretty and you don't have charm before, aren't you. And more than that, you don't have much casual clothes, do you?"

"E, ee. Well, I have about 12, maybe."

"Even though you look so cute. You're wasting your assets."

"C, cute..."

Elsa looked happy for a moment, but quickly came back to herself. She cleared her throat and said in a solemn tone.

"I'm a knight. I don't need to be pretty."

"Funn. For that matter, when you found out Papa was coming to Royal Capital, you seemed to be awfully concerned about your appearance?"

"H, h, ho, how did you know about that?"

"Nathalie told me. She's in and out of the guild a lot. She said you looked like you would have a date."

"U, uu....!"

"Ah. Elsa, your face is all red~?... You look like an apple."

When Meryl pointed out Elsa's blush face and she started rubbing her cheeks affectionately. Elsa started to puff and steam.

"Nee. For now, shall we go shopping for Elsa's clothes?"

"Clothes for me...?"

"Yes. At this rate, You're going to be going out in armor all day on your days off. It'll be better if Elsa in pretty clothes too, right Papa?"

"Yeah. It's admirable that you're always proud to be a knight, but can't you at least dress up on your days off?"

"D, dre, dress up, yes..."

Elsa muttered, and then asked anxiously.

"Even this me, can do?"

"Of course."

"It's decided. Then, let's get going."

☆

Then we came to the clothing store.

"Elsa. I'll take care of it. I'll help you pick your clothes. I'll make you an idol of the Knight Order."

"Y, yes..."

"I'm going to look at some clothes too?."

The girls scattered around the store.

Anna was picking some clothes and gave them to Elsa.

Elsa had a puzzled look on her face in front of the cute clothes.

By the way--.

The one who was choosing my clothes was also Anna. Ever since I was in the village, I myself didn't know much about clothes at all.

She's like a figure of wife who picked out clothes for her husband.

"Papa. Here, look here!"

Meryl called me through the curtain in the fitting room.

As I approached, the curtain was drew back, revealing Meryl's changed appearance. Now she was dressed in a swimsuit with almost no fabric.

"Wh, what's that outfit!"

You're almost naked!

"How's this? Doesn't this look good on me??"

Meryl said, "I'm going to shoot papa's heart out! Bakyuun?" She made a gesture of shooting the gun in front of her chest.

There was not a scratch or stain on her supple body.

It was as healthy as a white fish.

Meryl had always had a penchant for revealing clothes. It's like she thinks the more revealing she is, the prettier she is.

"This swimsuit is so cute, isn't it... Does papa like it too?"

"No, I can't agree."

"Why?"

"It's exposing your skin too much. If you go to the beach dressed like that, it'll be a trouble if strange men have a look."

"Papa, Do you hate it when other men see me?"

Meryl grinned and looked happy, "Papa's jealous~. How cute~?" and gave me a peck on my cheek.

It's not that I'm jealous, but ....

"Uhehe~. I'm not going to buy this swimsuit if you're going to go that far. The only one who I'll show all my skin is you, Papa."

"Don't say anything misleading."

"Why?"

"The clerk keeps giving me intense gaze."

A female clerk looked at me suspiciously.

"I and Papa are done?"'

"Hey, hey!"

Don't stir things up!

"Tehee?."

Meryl put her tongue out a bit.

I chuckled.

"Anna. How about your side? How are both of you doing?"

I called out to the next fitting room.

"Ee. Perfect,"

"Wait. Wait a minute...!"

Without hearing Elsa's voice of restraint, Anna opened the curtain of the fitting room.

""Ooh....""

I and Meryl let out an exclamation of admiration.

What appeared in front of me was――the figure of Elsa, dressed in fashionable clothes. She was adorably dressed in a white blouse and a long, flower-patterned skirt. Elsa's slender figure was elegantly well brought out.

Elsa held down the hem of her skirt bashfully. Then she looked up and asked, timidly.

"Th, this's weird, isn't...?"

"No. It looks great on you."

I smiled at Elsa.

"I think you're very cute,"

"Such a cute outfit is supposed to be an abuse for a swordsman.... And yet I'm so happy when Chichiue praises me...."

Elsa's face had turned bright red.

I thought, if the members of the Knight Order, who usually only saw her in a dignified face, seeing this view, I could guarantee that they would be very surprised.
