“Eh? There’s such a thing?”
Fina seemed doubtful of Liuli’s words.
“So you’re saying, Princess, that all the underwear you’re wearing now is specially provided by the Saint Laia Academy?”
“Mm…”
How should I put it, discussing her own underwear with Fina in public was still a bit too much for Liuli.
Even though their voices weren’t loud, Liuli’s identity and fame drew attention, causing many passing students to glance their way.
Although Liuli felt that the students around probably couldn’t hear what she and Fina were talking about, being surrounded by onlookers on the main road was still somewhat embarrassing.
“In that case, isn’t it a bit pitiful?”
“No, it’s not really that pitiful…”
“Of course it is. Not even being able to freely choose your own clothes—how is that not pitiful?”
Uh, well…
Listening to Fina, it did sound a little pitiful.
But Liuli was very clear about one thing: she didn’t particularly like wearing women’s clothing.
In her mind, clothes were just clothes, so she didn’t actually feel pitiful at all.
“But, aside from underwear, there aren’t any restrictions on other clothes, right? If I don’t dress you up beautifully today, Princess, I won’t give up so easily!”
“A-actually, Fina, you really don’t need to worry about me so much…”
“Eh? But, Princess, you agreed to come out with me, so you must have wanted to go shopping, right? It’s no good going shopping without buying clothes.”
“……”
Liuli felt that she couldn’t say she was half-forced here by Serveyia at this point.
But seeing the enthusiastic Fina in front of her, Liuli decided that buying clothes was fine.
She’d just consider it as accompanying a gentleman at her own risk.
Fina didn’t give Liuli much time to zone out, directly taking her hand and pulling her toward a women’s clothing store.
“Come on, come on, step one is picking out a dress for you, Princess. The one you’re wearing now looks nice, but it must be inconvenient. I’ll pick a suitable and comfortable dress for you.”
Liuli hadn’t expected Fina to notice the biggest flaw of her current outfit, which raised her opinion of Fina quite a bit.
But raising her opinion aside, looking at the shop Fina had brought her to, Liuli felt she’d done so too soon: this women’s clothing store was just too fancy, making Liuli, a former otaku, feel a little embarrassed.
“Fina, are you sure you want to bring me here?”
Looking at the complex accessories and layers of fabric on many of the clothes, Liuli truly doubted if these were the so-called suitable and convenient clothes Fina spoke of.
“Princess, you’re talking about those, right? To be honest, those clothes are mostly for decoration. Most students wouldn’t buy such flashy outfits for daily wear. They’re only worn on special occasions. But, how should I say it, having them on display is kind of pleasing, isn’t it?”
“They are pleasing, but since no one buys them, wouldn’t it be better to put them back?”
“Ah, Princess, you don’t know? The Academy Festival at Saint Laia is coming up soon, so many students come to pick out suitable clothes for themselves.”
Reminded by Fina, Liuli realized there were indeed more students around than she had thought.
Maybe, just as Fina said, it was because of the Academy Festival?
“Academy Festival—will there be any events?”
Liuli wasn’t unfamiliar with Academy Festivals.
In the second dimension, they were a timeless element.
But as someone who had always observed from the sidelines, being part of the festival herself now, she couldn’t help but feel curious.
Still, Liuli also understood that, as a Princess of Saint Laia, it would be nearly impossible to pass through the festival peacefully.
“In the past, Academy Festivals mostly featured balls and student-run shops, with little variation. But this year is different. With the Princess at Saint Laia, the festival will surely be livelier and more fun than ever!”
“So, will they require the Princess to do anything?”
Liuli didn’t have any special talents.
If she really got asked to do something, it would be incredibly embarrassing.
“To be honest, I’m not sure. Saint Laia hasn’t had a Princess in a long time. But you don’t need to worry. The Academy doesn’t want the Princess to be embarrassed in public, so even if there are requirements, they’ll be arranged in advance. There’s nothing for you to worry about, Princess.”
Though Fina said this, Liuli still wasn’t reassured.
What a joke.
As if being arranged in advance guaranteed everything would go smoothly.
“So, are you planning to pick out some clothes for me to wear that day?”
“? Of course not. That should be Serveyia’s concern. I don’t have a say in that.”
Fina shook her head indifferently.
“For me, what’s more important right now is preparing a few sets of daily clothes for you, Princess. As a Princess, you need some comfortable daily outfits, right?”
“Ugh, do we really have to pick?”
Although she had been wearing women’s clothing for a while, Liuli used to comfort herself by thinking it was Academy-issued.
But buying women’s clothes herself—wasn’t that another step into the depths of femininity from every angle?
“Of course. Try this on.”
Fina said as she took a JK Uniform from a nearby rack.
“It should fit.”
Well, since things had come this far, Liuli felt there was no need to struggle.
Wearing it was fine.
After taking the clothes to the fitting room, Liuli suddenly realized a problem: Fina hadn’t asked for her measurements.
So how did she pick out clothes that fit so perfectly?
Especially after putting them on and finding them a perfect fit.
The more she thought about it, the more it felt like she might stumble upon something outrageous.
Better not to dig any deeper.
She’d just assume Fina was uniquely gifted, able to tell sizes at a glance.
Before leaving the fitting room, Liuli checked herself in the mirror.
Although she had seen girls wearing JK Uniforms at the Human Empire Capital’s universities, Liuli had initially thought wearing JKs was just a trend or personal preference.
But now, actually wearing one herself, she realized it wasn’t quite like that.
For some reason, she felt like she’d gotten younger.
Could this be the charm of the JK Uniform?
