“Lady Seriana, thank you for having us today. We will do our utmost to serve you.”
With the old woman’s words, the work began.
She, along with Seriana, Elena, and Fiora, moved to the sofa at the back of the room and began discussing designs and the like.
Without me!
Just Seriana and Fiora together is a little concerning, but since Elena’s there, I doubt things will get too weird… Though that sister can get carried away sometimes.
And Teresa, the only one who could stop them, is over here… I’m worried.
By the way, I’m currently standing at the front of the room in my underwear, being measured from head to toe by three artisans.
Starting with the three sizes, then neck circumference, the length and size of my limbs.
And of course, they measured everything up to and including my height.
Incidentally, after rounding up a bit, my height just barely hit 140 cm.
I’m growing…!
Still, it’s a bit odd.
Height and weight are one thing, but having every part of my body reduced to precise measurements in millimeters—it’s kind of a weird feeling.
Maybe this is why women in my previous life didn’t like having their “three sizes” known?
Even so…
“…Hey, is it really necessary to measure this much?”
Is there really a need to measure my whole body this thoroughly?
Thinking that, I asked Teresa, who was standing behind me.
She wasn’t participating in the design discussion and was instead waiting on this side while holding the 【Floating Orb】.
Maybe she’s here to guard me or oversee the artisans’ work?
Even though Teresa is watching them from behind, the artisans seem unfazed and continue their work without any sign of nervousness…
“This level of measurement isn’t required for this particular order, but it will save time if the princess ever needs something tailored in a hurry later on.”
“Oh…”
It’s probably the first time I’m commissioning them, so having my measurements on file might help with future jobs.
“Lady Sera.”
We had finished all the measurements—or so I thought.
The artisans had only been giving brief instructions like “raise your arms” or “spread your feet a little” up until now, but this was the first time one of them actually called my name.
“Hm? What is it?”
“Next, we’d like to take measurements while you’re seated on the Blessed Item. Is that alright?”
“The 【Floating Orb】? Sure… You’re even doing that? Ah, thanks.”
Receiving the 【Floating Orb】 from Teresa, I sat down on it and floated into the air.
I do spend most of my day on this thing, so I can understand why they’d want measurements in this posture too.
After all, the way your body stretches or bends differs between standing and sitting.
It’s the same work, and probably not any more trouble for them, but… still, their thoroughness is impressive.
Anyway, with me now floating on the 【Floating Orb】, the three artisans began circling me again and resumed taking measurements.
◇
It took about ten minutes, I think?
After finishing the measurements, the artisans each wrote down their figures on separate sheets of paper.
I stepped off the 【Floating Orb】 and stood in front of Teresa.
“Princess, please raise both your arms.”
“Okay.”
When I stretched my arms upward, Teresa pulled a dress down over my head.
Today’s outfit was a plain, pale blue one-piece dress.
It wasn’t bad at all… but the material felt too nice.
I’d feel bad getting it wrinkled.
This mansion is technically my home, so I’d prefer something a bit more casual—like a jinbei or something.
“Hm?”
Now that I was dressed, I looked over to see how things were going with the others…
But at some point, Fiora, who had been participating in the design meeting with Seriana and the others, had come over to our side.
And that wasn’t all.
For some reason, she had taken off her clothes and was standing there in her underwear.
“You’re done with your measurements, right? Then it’s my turn now.”
“!? Y-yes!”
Even the artisans, who had remained calm under Teresa’s watchful eye until now, were clearly caught off guard. Their voices were a bit high-pitched.
Poor things…
“You’re getting something made too, Fiora?”
“Yes. We were discussing things over there, and the designs weren’t bad at all. So I decided I’d have something tailored as well. You don’t mind, do you?”
With that, she stood in front of the mirror.
Fiora is in her mid-40s, but she’s one of the few people I’ve given a full-strength 【Blessing of Mira】.
I still occasionally apply the 【Blessing of Mira】, and she also makes an effort not to live unhealthily.
Thanks to that, she maintains a youthful body that could easily pass for mid-20s, with no sagging or flabbiness.
“…Mhm.”
Looking straight down, my gaze landed at her toes without pause.
She’s got a figure completely different from mine.
Well, whatever about me.
My part is done, and I shouldn’t be ogling a woman in her underwear. I’ll head out.
“Teresa, let’s go.”
“Yes. Lady Fiora, excuse us.”
Teresa took my hand and said this to Fiora.
Come to think of it, Fiora is a noble too.
Even though we’re nearby, is it really okay for her to be in such an unguarded state with no escort?
The artisans might’ve been thinking the same.
They seemed a bit flustered… but—
“It’s fine. …Ah, and you ladies don’t need to panic.”
…Looks like it’s all good.
