Gifts For A Woman
We came to the clothing workshop in order to gift Tsukikage-nee-sama a new dress.
“So, what are you looking for today”
“I am thinking of gifting a dress to my Onee-sama”
“Tsukikage-sama huh. Understood. Well then, since we have produced several new dresses, how would you like to take a look at them”
“Onii-sama! Are you giving me a dress!”
“Of course. We have to get you to wear a new dress and stand out at the dance party”
“My! Thank you”
“Isn’t that great. Tsukikage”
“Yes!”
“Ah! That’s right. Let’s make Okaa-sama and Stellaria’s dresses as well since we are here!”
“Me as well?”
“Okaa-sama. Recently, you have not bought any new dresses, no?”
“That is……true”
“In that case, it is just right, isn’t it”
“Stellaria as well, go and choose a dress!”
“Eh! I have already received plenty!”
“But, you will be my partner for the next dance party, right?”
“Of course, I will, but……”
“Then, you cannot be going in the same dress”
“I am fine”
“I am not fine. Please! Stellaria!”
“Ah, n-, no way……un-, understood……”
“Stellaria. You can just gratefully accept it”
“Armeria-sama. Is it okay?”
“It’s okay! Now then, let’s go over there and choose”
“Ha-, haa……”
Stellaria was turning bright red and resisting. But she won’t accept it if I don’t go that far after all.
It looks like Tsukikage-nee-sama chose a red dress. It’s highly assertive, with her chest opened widely. As expected, someone who has become proactive sure is bold huh.
“Tsukuyomi. Can I have you take a look for a bit?”
“Yes. Okaa-sama”
“Between this and this, which do you like?”
“Me? Is it not better to choose the one Okaa-sama likes”
“I want Tsukuyomi to choose”
One has purple, which also comes off as pink, as its base with a gorgeous lace design, and the breasts are also opened widely. Another one is a dark-ish green dress, but it’s a serene design at first glance. Its chest is also not as bold.
“If it were me, I would want Okaa-sama to wear this one”
“My! This bold one?”
“This one here brings out Okaa-sama’s youth and beauty”
“I am a mother, you know”
“You are a young woman before a mother. Beautiful is how you should be”
“Tsukuyomi. You……”
For some reason, Okaa-san is turning bright red.
“As expected of Tsukuyomi-sama. You have great taste! I was saying that I would recommend this one over here if it was Armeria-sama”
“Yeah. I want her to wear it in her day-to-day as well, so give us 2 to 3 more pieces. Please choose them in this direction of emphasising her youthfulness”
“Hey! Tsukuyomi!”
“Okaa-sama. Please! It’s okay, right?”
“Ye-, yes. Then……”
“Bianca. Stellaria is also no good because she tends to hold back. Which one do you recommend?”
“My! In that case, since, like Armeria-sama, Stellaria-sama is tall, and her breasts are also big, I think something like this one over here will look beautiful on her”
That was, a glistening peach-coloured Cinderalla-like dress. It synchronises with her hair colour.
“This is wonderful huh. Stellaria. What do you think?”
“I believe this might be a little too flashy……”
“Is that so? If Stellaria doesn’t wear a dress of this extent, the dress will end up losing to Stellaria’s beauty, you know”
“It is exactly as Tsukuyomi-sama says. Which is why I have been recommending it since just now”
“Am I really wearing this at the dance party?”
“Do you hate it?”
“Aーh. Uh, no, I would never hate it……uh……”
“Stellaria. Just give up already”
“Ye-, yes. Armeria-sama”
“Bianca, please choose another 2 to 3 pieces for Stellaria as well as Tsukikage-nee-sama”
“Understood!”
“Eeh! I cannot receive that many!”
“Stellaria. You are my chamberlain, right? Am I mistaken?”
“No, I am your chamberlain”
“Then, dresses befitting someone who stands beside me are necessary, right?”
“Ye-, yes. Understood”
Okaa-sama whispers to me in a soft voice.
“Tsukuyomi. Not just dresses, she will need jewellery and shoes as well”
“Yeah. Let’s head over after this”
Aside from the dance party-use dresses, we also chose ones for them to wear normally and purchased 7 to 8 pieces per person.
I asked them to deliver everything to the castle.
“How much would it be?”
“Yes. Let me offer a discount since they were purchased in bulk. 3 pieces of platinum coins will do”
I pull over platinum coins from the inside of the drawer that I’m using as a safe in my room.
Whoosh! Clink!
I pay the 3 platinum coins that appeared in my palm to Bianca.
“Thank you!”
“Tsu-, Tsukuyomi-sama. 3 platinum coins……it is, my first time seeing a platinum coin”
“Stellaria has never seen one before?”
“Yes. It is my first time seeing it. There are more people who do not know of its existence”
“Eh? Is that so? Is it that expensive?”
“I-, is it alright?”
“Well, it’s probably alright. Now then, we shall go to the shoe store next”
“Eh? Are we still buying?”
“You need shoes that match the dresses, right?”
The shoe store was a couple of buildings beside the clothing workshop.
“Dennis. How have you been?”
“Th-, this is, Armeria-sama. It has been a long time!”
“This here is my son, Tsukuyomi, and Mallee’s daughter, Tsukikage, and Tsukuyomi’s chamberlain, Stellaria”
“Why, Tsukuyomi-sama, is it. Your reputation precedes you. It is my honour to be able to meet you. I am the owner of Conti shoe workshop, Dennis Conti”
“Hello, I am Tsukuyomi. Nice to meet you”
“Is the individual over there, Sword Saint Stellaria Neumann-sama?”
“Eeh, nice to meet you”
“Now then, please, come on in. What would you be looking for today?”
“Yes. I would like to purchase new shoes for dance party use and day-to-day use for these ladies”
“Please choose 5 to 6 for each of them”
“Fi-, five to six per person, is it! Ye-, yes! Understood!”
Dennis, while being a veteran shoemaker, is a gentleman who also fully provides first-class hospitality.
It seems this world’s shoes already have various uses and designs. I found out that they even have high heels, pumps, and boots for women-use normally. We try them on one after another and swiftly decide on the purchase. The price was 7 large gold coins for 20 pairs.
“Now then, lastly, the jewellery store huh”
“Stellaria. Please go to Dumont jewellery store”
“Yes. Understood”
The jewellery store was in the prime district closest to the castle.
“Clement. It’s been a while”
“Armeria-sama! It is really good to see you again. Tsukiyomi-sama, Tsukikage-sama, and even Neumann-sama are with you!”
“Nice to meet you. I am Tsukuyomi”
“Nice to meet you. Do you know about me?”
“Yes. Tsukikage-sama. A jewellery store is aware of the various royalties, nobles, and their families”
“My! Is that how it is?”
“Yes. That is what you call ‘business'”
This here is an unparalleled gentleman. Behaving more like nobles than your run-of-the-mill lower-class nobles. Serene, classy, and has sharp eyes that feel like they can discern the quality of both jewellery and humans at one glance.
“Stellaria Neumann-sama. It is my pleasure to make your acquaintance. I am Clement Dumont”
“I am Sellaria Neumann. Nice to meet you”
“What would you be looking for today?”
“Yes. Jewellery for these ladies to wear at a dance party please. All three of them will be in dresses that have their chest opened widely”
“Understood. How about a necklace, ring, and earrings set then?”
“Eeh, yeah”
“Onii-sama. Is it okay to have you buy not just for Armeria-kaa-sama, but for me as well?”
“Of course. Tsukikage-nee-sama. Stellaria as well, you know”
“Eh? I cannot receive something like jewellery!”
“Why? I mean, it’s a set with the dress, right?”
“Tsukuyomi-sama. The price is completely different!”
“Is it that much different?”
“I think that necklace with the big red gemstone suits Stellaria’s eyes; how much is it?”
“Yes. As one would expect, you have great taste. This here is a necklace made of the highest grade ruby, diamond, and platinum……it is 2 platinum coins”
“What. That’s all huh. Look, it’s fine, right?”
“Eh! I-, I-, I-, it is not fine! Armeria-sama!”
“Tsukuyomi’s sense of money, might be a little skewed huh”
“Eh? Is it no good?”
“Yeah, that amount of money, is probably something somebody from the Royal Family or Duke house gifts on their wedding anniversary……”
“But it suits Stellaria incredibly well! Can I not?”
“Of course, it’s no issue if Tsukuyomi is okay with it”
“It is okay then, isn’t it”
“No way! I-, I cann-……”
Stellaria turns bright red on her face, and her words end up not coming out.
“Okaa-sama. I think the necklace next to it with the blue gemstone suits Okaa-sama”
“I-, I believe that is also, quite expensive……”
“Yes. The quality of the blue sapphire over here is of the highest grade. Also, since many diamonds are used to accentuate it, it is 3 platinum coins”
“Hohohoo! Wha-, what a wonderful price……”
“Then, that will do for Okaa-sama huh”
“Tsu-, Tsukuyomi! N-, no way. You, how much money do you have!”
“Yeah. I don’t know since it’d gotten a bit troublesome to count them recently, but if it’s platinum coins, I had more than 100 pieces”
“Eeーーーh!”
“O-, Onii-sama! That many!”
“That’s why it’s fine, right? Right!”
“Onee-sama, which one would you like? Your dress is red, right. How about this big green gemstone?”
“Eh! I have never seen a necklace with such a big gemstone before”
“That over here, is an emerald. You rarely ever get a stone this big. Of course, it is sprinkled with numerous diamonds and uses platinum. This over here will be 2 platinum coins”
“Then, we shall also have rings and earrings that match those 3 necklaces”
“Understood. We will get it ready right away”
“Over here, we have prepared rings and earrings that use all kinds of gemstones”
“Now then, please choose them starting from Okaa-sama”
“Eh? T-, then, yeah. This diamond”
“Stellaria, which one do you like?”
“Er-, erm, I cannot choose something so exorbidant”
“Then, a ruby that is the same colour as Stellaria’s eyes……ah! No, what is this over here?”
“Yes. It is a pink sapphire”
“This, it’s beautiful like Stellaria’s hair colour. This is nice”
“You have great taste! It is a top-of-the-line product which is said that this size will probably not appear anymore for a few years!”
“Then, this will do. Ah. But please make the earrings ruby”
“Perfect!”
Huh? Stellaria is staring off into space. Is she alright?
“What about Onee-sama?”
“Me huh……nnー, yeah. As I thought, how about this blue gemstone?”
“Yes. Blue sapphire huh. Understood”
“It is wonderful how it matches Onee-sama’s eye colour huh”
“Onii-sama, thank you very much!”
“Well then, I will be measuring the ring sizes. Over here please”
We chose all the gemstones, took the measurements, and decided to go back.
“How much for everything?”
“Yes. It will be 15 platinum coins”
“Okay. 15 pieces huh. Give me a minute”
Whoosh! Clink!
Platinum coins appear and fill both my hands, and I carry on to pay them to Clement.
“Payment has been received. Thank you”
When we get onto the small ship in front of the store, Stellaria freezes.
“Er-, Erm, Tsukuyomi-sama. If possible, could I ask you to use Teleportation all the way to the castle?”
“Eh? Un. Got it. Then, we’re off”
Whoosh!
When we arrive at the castle’s main entrance,
“Tsukuyomi. Please bring Stellaria and use Teleportation to our room and wait”
“Yes. What about Okaa-sama?”
“I will come back after sending Tsukikage”
“Understood”
“Well then, Onee-sama, see you again”
“Onii-sama. Thank you for today”
“Onee-sama. I am looking forward to the dance party. Well then, Stellaria, we’re off”
I hugged Stellaria and teleported to the room.
Whoosh!
“Stellaria. What’s the matter? Your face is red as well. Are you feeling unwell somewhere?”
“The jewellery Tsukuyomi-sama bought for me is overly exorbidant……”
“Ahー, is that what it is. I don’t have any place to use my money after all. I wanted to try using it once”
“It is not like from now on, I will use the money in that manner every day. Besides, Okaa-sama, Onee-sama, and Stellaria are important to me. I wanted to give you a present”
“Was it no good?”
“N-, no, that is not the case. But, it is wasted on me……”
“Why? I gifted them because I thought the dresses and jewellery befit Stellaria, you know?”
“Re-, really?”
“Do you think I’m teasing you? It’s true that I occasionally tease Veronica, but I do really think that Veronica is adorable after all, and I like her very much. I also think Stellaria is beautiful from the bottom of my heart, and I like you very much”
“Tsukuyomi-sama……UuUuUUU……”
Stellaria ended up breaking into tears. What do I do!
“Stellaria! What’s the matter? Is it my fault?”
“Tsukuyomi-sama. I-, I, have never been cherished like this as a woman before until now. Furthermore, it is my first time receiving things like jewellery, what should I do……”
I wrapped my arms around the neck of Stellaria, who kneeled on the ground, and embraced her. Stellaria started crying like a child.
After a short while, as we were doing that, Okaa-san came back.
“Oh my, it ended up like that huh”
“Okaa-sama……”
“Stellaria was happy huh”
“Ye-, yes……”
“That’s good then”
I learned one more thing again today. It’s difficult to give a present to a woman huh……
