Fortunately or unfortunately, a good amount of time had passed since the trouble (?) with Pandora-san, so I decided to check on Lilia-san.

  A few beautiful dress-like clothes were hung on the wall in front of Lilia-san. She crossed her arms as she looked at them.

  [……Lilia-san?]

  [Ahh, Kaito-san. I’m sorry it took me so long.]

  [No, it seems like you’re feeling troubled?]

  [Yes, I’ve narrowed down my options, but there are still a bit too many of them…… I was just trying to decide which one to buy.]

  When I was told that, I took a look at the clothes that were laid out.

  There are about ten outfits…… which was certainly a few too many. The Six Kings Festival lasts for seven days, so if the purpose was to find clothes to wear at the Six Kings Festival, then the maximum number of clothes she was going to buy would be seven.

  Of course, she could also just buy all of them and wear the remaining three during her private life but…… with Lilia-san’s character, she probably wouldn’t want to waste money like that.

  I think that’s why she’s having a hard time deciding which ones to buy, because she’s thinking of buying only what she needs.

  Keeping this in mind, I looked at the clothes one by one again. All of them would look good on Lilia, and it’s hard to decide which ones to buy.

  Lilia-san looked troubled about this, and I’d like to give her some advice…… but I’m not really an expert in women’s clothing, so I’m not sure if I can give her any good advice.

  So, I decided to simply tell her what I thought.

  [……Hmmm. In my personal opinion, I like these kinds of clothes.]

  I thought that the white base color with gold threads interwoven in a not too flashy way would look good on Lilia. It would do well to contrast her blond hair and blue eyes.

  I think a chic black dress is also good, but I think white suits Lilia-san.

  [I think Lilia-san would look good in any of them, but I think this dress fits the image of the innocent Lilia-san perfectly.]

  [I- I see, t- thank you…… P- Please wait for a little longer. I’ll decide soon.]

  [You don’t really have to rush.]

  Lilia-san’s face reddened a little at my words. After she replied, she started picking up each piece of clothing, as if she was starting to make her choice.

  As for the dress I said looks good on her, she picked it up first, gave it a quick glance and then moved it to a separate place from the rest of the clothes…… How cute.

  As I watched Lilia-san earnestly choose clothes with a smile, I heard the door of the store open and I reflexively moved my gaze in that direction.

  [……Excuse me, I’m fine with those not as expensive as a noble’s, so can you help me find some slightly expensive clothes…… Oya?]

  [……Sieg-san?]

  [Sieg?]

  To our surprise, it was Sieg-san who came into the store, and both Lilia-san and I were astonished at the unexpected encounter with her.

  It was the same for Sieg-san. Looking a bit surprised, she called out and approached us.

  [……Kaito-san, Lilia…… I didn’t expect to see you here.]

  [Indeed.]

  [Sieg, it’s your day-off today, isn’t it? Are you going to buy some clothes?]

  [Yes, it wouldn’t be necessary if I were to participate as Lili’s escort, but I’ve been invited directly…… As expected, I couldn’t just dress like usual.]

  [I see……]

  [Is Kaito-san and Lili also shopping for clothes?]

  After exchanging a few words, I answered Sieg-san’s question with a nod.

  Thereupon, for some reason, Sieg-san gently smiled and alternately looked at Lilia-san and I.

  [……I see you’re on a date.]

  [Wha!? T- T- T- That is……]

  Lilia-san…… There’s a chance that she may be trying to deceive her, but she’s really easy to understand.

  [Fufufu, how enviable…… Ahh, that’s right. If it’s fine with you, “can I also join your date”?]

  [Eh? E- Errr, that is……]

  [Of course, I don’t mind.]

  [Lilia-san!?]

  While I was at a loss for what to say to Sieg-san, who nonchalantly asked me to go on a date with her with a calm smile…… For some reason, Lilia-san readily agreed.

  As I raised my voice in surprise, both Lilia-san and Sieg-san tilted their heads in wonder at me.

  [Kaito-san, is something the matter?]

  [Eh? N- No, ummm…… Is that alright?]

  [What do you mean?]

  [N- No, I mean, going on a date with the two of you at the same time……]

  [Unnn? Isn’t that “pretty normal”?]

  […………….]

  Unlike the confused me, Lilia-san looked like she really didn’t know why I was asking her that.

  At that moment, as if she understood what I was talking about, Sieg-san clapped her hands.

  [Ahh, that’s right…… Speaking of which, monogamy was the norm in Kaito-san’s world, wasn’t it?]

  [Y- Yes…… Could it be that this isn’t uncommon in this world?]

  [Yes. Polygamy is the norm in this world…… It isn’t particularly unusual for one man and several women to date. Well, of course, I think it’s more common for just two people to go on a date.]

  [I- I see……]

  When she put it that way, it certainly did make sense.

  [……If Kaito-san feels bothered about it, it’s fine to decline, you know?]

  [Ah, no, it’s just that I’m a little surprised by the cultural differences…… I also enjoy being with Sieg-san, and you would never be a nuisance.]

  [Fufufu, hearing that makes me happy. Well then, if Kaito-san doesn’t mind, I would certainly like to go with you.]

  [Yes.]

  I was surprised, but as long as Lilia-san and Sieg-san didn’t mind, I’d be happy to have a fun date with my two lovers.

  When I agreed to Sieg-san’s request, not only Sieg-san, but also Lilia-san smiled happily. For the shy Lilia-san, having the familiar Sieg-san might be comforting for her.

  [Ahh, but before that, Sieg-san’s clothes. The size may be a little different, something like this would be great…..]

  [No, Lili…… Please don’t bring me such an expensive item. I don’t have as much money as you do. I can barely afford to buy the lowest grade of clothing in this store…… Also, if possible, not a “skirt”……]

  [……Speaking of which, you don’t really like skirts, do you?]

  [Rather than me not liking skirts, what I don’t like are “clothes that make it hard to move around in a forest”……]

  Like I said, aren’t your standards quite strange!? Lilia-san and Sieg-san, what exactly do you think you’re doing at the Six Kings Festival!? There’s no way you would need to go around in a forest there……. You wouldn’t, right……?

  As I watched the two women get excited about choosing clothes, I quietly called out behind me.

  [……Alice.]

  [Yes, yes.]

  [When it’s Lillywood-san’s turn to host the festival, would she turn the venue into a forest?]

  [……She did say that the theme of her event would be “interacting with nature”.]

  [I see, thanks.]

  [No, no, I’ll be excusing myself then~~]

  …….Could it be that I’m actually the wrong one here? After all, it’s a festival hosted by those dense Six Kings. Is it the right answer to prepare ourselves for a battle? I’m starting to lose my mind……


  [……Ahh, can I ask you something again?]

  [Hey, hey.]

  [From Alice’s point of view, what do you think about going on a date with another girl?]

  [Hmmm, I’m fine if it’s with Kuro-san or Fate-san…… but I feel that it would be “too troublesome” if it was with the others, so I would have to pass.]

  [I see, thanks. I’ll keep that in mind.]

  Dear Mom, Dad———– We met Sieg-san by chance at the clothing store. To my surprise, Sieg-san decided to also join our date. I see, in this world———- This kind of date is possible huh……
