 A tailor on the main street is called “True Love”.

 

 I thought it was a strange name, but then I found out that the owner of the store was also a strange man.

 

 

 She is a strange person that looks both like a man and a woman. I couldn’t tell her age because she wore heavy makeup.

 

 Maybe she’s a man about 40 years old.

 

 Her voice is deep and she has an Adam’s apple. So I believe he was a man.

 

 

“Well, welcome to True Love. You’re a cool-looking guy. Moreover, you’re my type.” (Shopkeeper)

 

 

 Chloe stands in front of the shopkeeper who is trying to touch my ass and says peacefully.

 

 

“It’s been a long time, Samus-san.” (Chloe)

 

“Oh, if it’s not the Princess’ maid. The maid clothes look good on you as usual.” (Shopkeeper => Samus)

 

“This is my work uniform and my fighting uniform.” (Chloe)

 

 

 Chloe held the edge of her maid’s uniform and lifted her skirt to greet her.

 

 

“Yeah, you’re quite cute. I wonder if should make your maid outfit next time.” (Samus)

 

“It would be very, very expensive on my salary.” (Chloe)

 

“Then, what kind of business did you do today? I wondered if you came with your boyfriend to buy clothes.” (Samus)

 

 

 Chloe looks at me with a glance.

 

 Then Chloe calmly denies.

 

 

“This person is the General Strategist of the Princess and her future husband.” (Chloe)

 

“Oh, did that young lady finally become aware of romance?” (Samus)

 

 

 The two are getting way too excited, so I firmly gave a “No,” and offered a handshake. The palm of the tailor Samus was thicker than I had imagined.

 

 

“My name is Leon von Almarsh, a court mage. I’m a military officer in the Libra Brigade. And librarian.”

 

“Oh, you’re the rumored strategist.” (Samus)

 

“Oh, you know of me? I didn’t want to stand out.”

 

“It’s rumored that the Libra Division has begun to play an active role thanks to the Shadow Strategist.” (Samus)

 

“That’s bad. I want to make it all the princess’s achievement.”

 

“Don’t worry. I’m the only one of the very few who knows such details. I hear a lot of information when you’re on this kind of business.” (Samus)

 

“‘She’s is an informant. When I collect information, I often cooperate with her.” (Samus)

 

“I see, but I wonder if the accuracy of that information is okay. The Libra Brigade is not yet a division.”

 

“Oh, you don’t know? An order will be issued in the military soon. Your brigadier general will be promoted to a major general.” (Samus)

 

“…………”

 

 

 I wasn’t surprised. Of course, I have already predicted it. What surprised me was the information network of this “man” named Samus who knew the date of the order. Certainly, she seems to be an excellent informant.

 

 

“Well, it’s not surprising. A single brigade taking down a fortress is a feat that should have earned you a promotion twice.” (Samus)

 

 

 In the Ernian army, there is an unwritten rule that no living person can be promoted twice, and no matter what their achievements are, they can only be promoted a rank at a time. The royal family was no exception to this rule.

 

 

“Still, if you become a major general, your brigade will expand and become a division. That’s why I called it a division beforehand.” (Samus)

 

“Sure, you can call it that. Well, if you’re so aware of the situation, you’ve also guessed why we’re here?”

 

“Maybe, you’ve probably need clothes for the interviews, of course.” (Samus)

 

“You are correct. Can you help with the princess’s clothes?”

 

“I could do that in an instant, but that would be boring. I want to see each individual’s personality. I especially want to know what kind of personality the Princess’s Shadow Strategist has.” (Samus)

 

“As you can see, I’m plainly dressed, see?”

 

 

 I show her my robe with no special features.

 

 The robe that I wore is not an exception. It is a fact that I only have robes and underwear of the same design.

 

 Chloe is very disapproving in this regard, but Samus doesn’t seem to be.

 

 

“Just as it would be strange for a scarecrow to wear a dress, a sorcerer would wear anything else but a robe. And that robe looks really good on you.” (Samus)

 

“Thank you.”

 

“It also shows that you are a practical person who would buy the same design all the time. But you can’t expect that from someone else, especially a girl.” (Samus)

 

“I know. That’s why I came here.”

 

“Okay, then Leon, you probably have your favorite outfit. Tell me what it is.” (Samus)

 

“What clothes do I like?”

 

 

 Putting my hand on my chin, I think for a long time.

 

 A girl with long hair, wearing a blouse and a long skirt, stands in the library at dusk. She wears a pair of black-rimmed glasses and reads intently.

 

 Describing the scene, Samus laughed and Chloe giggled.

 

 

“Leon is a typical Booklover. So that’s the type of person you like, huh.” (Samus)

 

“You like bookish girls, don’t you?” (Chloe)

 

“…………”

 

 

 Hmmm, maybe that’s the case.

 

 

 “Well, that’s fine,” Samus puts a wig on Chloe’s head. It’s a black-haired wig.

 

 

 She then handed her a blouse and long skirt that she had picked out from the store and went into the fitting room.

 

 

“We don’t have the princess, so I’ll ask you to be the dress-up doll.” (Samus)

 

 

 Going inside with her.

 

 I wonder if it’s okay for a man to help a woman change clothes, but Chloe seems to think Samus is of the same sex. They’re both having fun.

 

 I felt like I was listening to birds and chickens chirping, but a few minutes later, the curtains were opened and there was a very beautiful woman.

 

 A neat woman with long black hair, she carefully holds a hardcover book in her hand.

 

 A neat blouse and a plain long skirt look great on her.

 

 When she lifts her glasses and stare at me, my heart beats faster.

 

 A smile gracing her face, Chloe said,

 

 

“I think it’s going to be so cute that the princess be in agony when she wears this outfit.” (Chloe)

 

“…………”

 

 

 

 I knew she was right, and I can only silently agree.
