Chapter 141
Every word that Alice spoke made Erina's face turn a shade paler. Hearing all of this, as much as she was loath to admit it, Erina had to acknowledge that Alice's words made perfect sense.
If she had already agreed to date Mineo but still maintained the mindset of a sheltered young lady regarding their relationship, wasn't that just a bit ridiculous?
Alice watched Erina standing there with a ghostly complexion. A faint smile played on her lips as she reached into the wardrobe, pulled out a set of Maid Uniforms in the perfect size, and thrust them into Erina's hands.
Immediately after, Alice grabbed a set for herself. Shedding the black dress she had been wearing, Alice leaned over and pulled a pair of black over-the-knee socks onto her legs.
After putting on the skirt and top, she slipped her dainty, beautiful feet into small black leather shoes. Once she finished with the headpiece and silk scarf, Alice was instantly transformed from a stunning city goddess into a beautiful, cute little maid. Stepping in front of the mirror, Alice held the edges of her skirt and twirled left and right.
"I really was born with natural beauty. No matter what I wear, it always looks great. Erina, why are you still standing there like a statue? Haven't you thought it through yet? If you don't know how to put on this Maid Uniform, I can help you!"
Seeing Alice's playful, ambiguous gaze, Erina's pale face instantly flushed a deep crimson. She bit her thin lip gently before stammering in a small, shaky voice:
"No... there's no need... A low-level outfit like this... how... how could I not know how to wear it! You... just worry about yourself!"
"Then hurry up and change! Look at the time—if you delay any longer, it'll be time for everyone to head to bed."
"I... I understand!"
Pushed by Alice's constant urging, Erina finally chose to surrender. Closing her beautiful eyes, she let out a long, heavy sigh.
In the next second, her hands trembled slightly as she unfastened the white princess dress she was wearing, replacing it with what was referred to as a "uniform" in Mineo's restaurant.
Mineo continued to wait patiently inside the restaurant. Imagining that he would soon be treated to a fashion show by Erina and Alice, his heart felt a surge of excitement and anticipation.
After waiting for about five minutes, the door to the changing room slowly creaked open. Alice, wearing white over-the-knee socks and looking incredibly adorable, came hopping out.
"Mineo-kun! What do you think? I'm quite the woman of my word, aren't I? It's just a Maid Uniform, after all—not a problem at all. This time, I have completely fulfilled the rude request of a scoundrel like you!"
Alice swayed her body slightly, causing the hem of her black skirt to flutter in the air. A moment later, Alice suddenly remembered something; she reached back through the doorway and forcibly pulled Erina out.
"Erina, the clothes are already changed, so what are you waiting for! You're so beautiful, there's nothing to be embarrassed about."
Due to Alice's strong tug, Erina stumbled and was dragged right out the door. At that moment, Erina's entire body was stiff with tension, and her hands shook with nervousness as she gripped the edges of her skirt tightly.
A slender waist, long legs—Erina's beauty was truly flawless. Furthermore, her long blonde hair, usually like a waterfall, was tied up into a cute bun. Paired with the maid uniform, her beauty was truly extraordinary.
As if sensing Mineo's intense gaze, Erina's face turned so red it looked as though blood might drip from it. She lowered her head, her voice trembling slightly.
"Is... is this really okay?"
"I... I've changed as promised. Can I change back to my old clothes now?"
Gazing at both Erina and Alice, Mineo offered his praise:
"It's true that when someone is beautiful, they look good in anything. You both look incredibly charming in those outfits. Would you mind if I took a photo of you?"
"Take... take a photo?"
Upon hearing Mineo's words, Erina's heart was thrown into chaos once again. she immediately voiced her protest.
"No... absolutely not! That's out of the question! Going this far is... already my absolute limit. Mineo, don't you dare try to bully me..."
In contrast to the emotional Erina, Alice showed a much more relaxed attitude. However, she was still a bit curious about Mineo's request.
"Mineo, why do you want to take our photo? Do you want to be able to look at us every day?"
Hearing Alice's question, Mineo nodded.
"That's right. I think this photo would be very beautiful. I'm also planning to use it as the wallpaper on my phone. That way, whenever I open my phone, I can enjoy the cuteness of the Eldest Daughter and the Second Daughter."
"Is that so?"
Alice smiled happily at his words.
"In that case, go ahead and take the photo, Mineo-kun. See, Erina? Mineo wants to make our photo his wallpaper. As a couple, this isn't something we should refuse."
After Alice's persuasion, Erina was momentarily silenced because Mineo's reasoning left her with no way to turn him down. Still, with a bright red face, she stammered:
"You... you can only take one photo! And a picture like this, you are absolutely forbidden from showing it to anyone else! It must never leak out. If it does... if it does, I will be very, very angry."
"Leak out? How could I! The beauty of the Eldest and Second Daughters belongs to me alone. Unless I've completely lost my mind, I would never show such a photo to anyone else. Rest assured, I will treasure this photo as a precious collection. Come on, you two stand straight, I'm going to take the picture!"
At Mineo's prompt, Alice immediately wrapped her arm around Erina's and posed with a cute peace sign. Mineo raised his phone and aimed the camera at them.
"Erina, don't keep making such a shy and tense expression. Come on, lift your head, give me a smile. Don't act like you're doing this against your will."
