I Decided to Not Compete and Quietly Create Dolls Instead

Chapter 24

After finishing re-tailoring the clothes Kajero disappeared off to somewhere, which made me wonder.

Just that with his demeanor and small figure, its quite difficult to believe my own predictions.

I wonder if that was his real intention.

I reflected upon my own anxiety.

Its hard to guess from his normal behavior.

Rather, he may have asked the question deliberately.

Recently I have been leaving everything up to the dolls and almost never give any instructions. I was hoping they would take charge themselves.

Though their main consciousness was missing.

Kajero may have been trying to remind me of that.

As I left the room thinking about such things, the female ownerThe lady accompanying you is quite amazingmurmured while smiling bitterly.

What does she mean?

I look towards Feria-san, who was back in her original traveling clothes.

Mr. Hials figurewas nowhere to be seen.

I was happy to be fawned over, but I cant accept a marriage proposal from someone I just met. Moreover, in such a public area. Well, I am grateful he thinks of me that way but I still want to walk down the path of the sword. So I cant respond to his love, and he seems to have a 5 year old daughter. I also cant afford to raise a child, so in other words, using the common sense of Margaroid, I dont want to take on something I cannot handleAnyways thats why I declined him and sent him on his way

H-How realistic.

For a young merchant who spends his time at sea to actually get the urge to court someone, and for the conversation to jump directly to marriage, its rather sympathizing than exciting.

Even so youre still able to remain so calm

But that was similar to me.

When I think of situations as being part of an Otome game, the future troublesome matters will just pass through my mind and go away.

In that case, etto, w-whats up with that?

Feria-sans interest in Mr. Hial seems to have already disappeared.

Her eyes stared directly at the clothes in my hand.

I re-tailored it, so wear this and go out with me today

It would be troublesome if she were to be reluctant, so I gave the clothes to her and immediately pushed her into the fitting room.

Now, hurry up and get changed, otherwise I will have the dolls assist you

Sheesh, you sure are pushy but she still seems rather happy. You are exactly how Deje-kun describes you

Because an unexpected name came out, I unconsciously saidHeh!?with a raised voice unbecoming of a Dukes daughter.

That person is Christoph DugenneThe Wandering Earl. He is now attending the Imperial Knight Training School under the name Chris Deje.

I was surprised, I became acquainted with him when I visited the Imperial capital.

He is quite the swordsman. I never met someone who could use the old empires swordsmanship before

The world is quite small so what did he say about me?

That you were the combination of cuteness and resolution, just like the reincarnation of Princess Rustillasomething like that. Anyways, he was complimenting you.

Haha, he is a strong rival in love for my elder brother

Feria-san continued talking causally, but as for me I had a slight headache.

Although he is different than his original age his eyes are still somewhat the same, so in truth I did wonder how Phillka-san sees me. If I think about it calmly, maybe he was conscious of me as an opposite gender. I should reconsider how I should associate with him in the future.

Along with the Earls misunderstanding, the surrounding people are also becoming ambiguous. Lets clarify it as soon as possible. In the worst case it will be another challenge, but yes, the chance of winning is far higher compared to two years ago.

Well, its fine.

There is no other choice but to solve them all one at a time.

A red checkered salopette skirt.

Along with a knit cape of the same color.

I didnt just adjust the size.

Whether it be called a remake, or refining or retaking, Since the point was that it was for sale, I unleashed my hobby which I had been suppressing and did a complete rework.

As a result.

A first version of Will Ridel who Lermit Rasilez is an enthusiast of, ended up with a crazy finish.

Well, lets go Feria-san

We stepped out of the store. In the seventh day after the founding festival, and the town was becoming more busy than usual.

A-aah

Whats wrong? You look rather surprised

I have played with girls a couple of times during my trip, but I was always the one leading. Somehow this feels fresh. I said I would escort you yesterday, but I wonder if its alright to leave it to you

Of course

I nodded strongly. To avoid getting lost, I asked Kajero to handle navigating with my thoughts.

Feria-san, its fine, you dont actually need to escort me. You dont have to withhold yourself. I already know since the beginning what you want to do, so theres no point in hiding it. Please give up and leave it all to me. I am The Mystic-eyed Doll Princess after all correct?

As she blinked in surprise I gave a wink back in response.

I wonder if its because of the dress? Please forgive me.

Because the clothes suited Feria-san more than I imagined, I mightve gone a little overboard.

It seems people refer to you as that for a reason, Im convincedapparently your mystic eye not only has foresight abilities but also has mesmerizing effects. If I was male I would have pushed my elder brother and Deje-kun aside to obtain you

Thank you very much, If you ever find it difficult to live in Malgaroid please do come to the Wisp territory. At that time lets go out with various clothes

That sounds nice. Rather, I would like to also come with you when you return home

That is also fine, you are very welcomed

Well, I will do that then. I will go to the Empire with you. Its a promise

Understood, I will make the preparationsah, thats right. May I have your little finger on my right?

Hm? Like this?

Yes, just like that

I extended my little finger in the same way

and took Feria-sans little finger in mine.

Pinky-swear, if you lie, you have to swallow a thousand needles Its a way of promising in a country far away. It will be bad if you break it alright?

A thousand needles? Thats very scary, Ill be careful not to forget it

Feria-san jokingly said and began laughing..

I was tempted and also began laughing.

It was a peaceful time.
