Tea Leaves Unfold, Sharing a Time of Fellowship - Short Story (2)

Chloe: Hey, hey, did you hear?

Chloe: Apparently, Arthur and the others invited Kenja-sama to host a special tea party!

Shino: I know. It's one of those "mixers," right? (Note - he uses the word Goukon which is something that often comes up in Mahoyaku)

Mitile: I heard about it too!

Mitile: But that day, I have plans to go to the southern country with my older brother, so I can’t join.

Shino: I also have something to do that day in Sherwood Forest.

Chloe: Oh, really? Actually, I also have plans to see an opera with Rustica that day.

Chloe: But still, I really want to have a tea party with Kenja-sama too! So, I was thinking...

Chloe: What do you guys think about having the tea party twice?

Shino & Mitile: Twice?

Chloe: Yes! We’ll have the tea party again at night. That way, more people will be able to join, right?

Mitile: Wow. That sounds great!

Shino: If we’re going to do it, let’s make it a surprise. It’ll be fun to see Kenja’s surprised face.

Chloe: Yay, it's decided!

Chloe: Then, I’ll come up with different outfits for the day and night.

Chloe: I wonder what I should go with~. By the way, this is the design for the daytime outfit—what do you think?

Mitile: Wow, it’s cool~!

Mitile: The tie at the chest and the cloak make it look like a prince, it’s really refreshing.

Shino: In that case, let’s go with something different for the night. Like, a "messenger of the dark night" kind of vibe.

Chloe & Mitile: A... messenger of the dark night...?

Chloe: The sound of that is so exciting~!

Shino: An outfit that would look good on a strong person would be nice too. Something with a big fur coat.

Shino: If needed, I’ll go hunt for it, 22 pieces. I’ll gather food while I’m at it.

Mitile: Eh!

Chloe: Haha, as expected of Shino! You’re so reliable.

Chloe: True, adding fur would make the outfit look really wild.

Chloe: Anything else you’d like to request? Let me know whatever comes to mind!

Mitile: Hmm... …Oh!

Mitile: How about something a bit torn, like Bradley’s coat?

Mitile: Once, I asked him why he didn’t fix it, and he said, “This is how it’s supposed to be.”

Mitile: Then he told me, “A kid wouldn’t understand,” and I was so frustrated!

Shino: It’s true, clothes with a ripped look feel like they’ve been through a battle, which is pretty cool.

Chloe: I see, I see... So, intentionally going for a tattered but cool vibe, huh...

Chloe: Alright! How about this direction for the design?

Shino & Mitile: Oh…! Cool!

Mitile: To come up with such an amazing design so quickly—Chloe, you’re incredible!

Chloe: Hehe, it’s thanks to you two!

Mitile: Oh, but this part here—the stomach is showing a bit.

Mitile: If someone wore this, Figaro-sensei might scold them, saying, “Your stomach will catch a chill!”

Shino: Don’t worry. That’s what the fur is for.

Mitile: Ah, that makes sense!

Chloe: Alright! Next, I’ll need to get some fabric.

Chloe: Would you two like to go shopping with me?

Chloe: Let’s create the most impressively wild outfits that’ll leave everyone speechless!

Shino & Mitile: Yeah!
