Chapter 62
I Will Quit the Entourage of the Villainess 62
As promised, Mrs . Zamas’ dress was finished the day before the ball .
The dress, which was the result of Mrs . Zamas’ earnest work, was quite innovative .
The fabric used is pale cream and has a fitted design that brings out the upper body’s lines .
With it, my back is completely bare, and my shoulders just want to scream “Hello!”
Its skirt looks as if it was made by pinching the middle of a square piece of fabric and then lifting it up . It has longer bits and shorter bits, which create complex frills .
These frills are set in gradation around the skirt’s hem, and when shaken, the small crystals that are sewn into them glitter .
And when dancing, the back of my legs say “Hi!” from behind the opening between the frills .
…Is this okay?
Weren’t my legs not supposed to show that much?
I take a quick glance at Sisie, who nods at me with a hard expression on her face, so I wonder if it’s safe to go like this?
“It’s a splendid piece, even if I say so myself . You have to wear those high heels to the ball . They were a collaboration made together with Ed, from Signora . ”
Made with the same fabric used for the dress, the stilettos she gives me are engraved with Swarovski gems .
They are so beautiful that they certainly look like a piece of art, but they’re going to kill me if I dance wearing them .
“Oof…”
“You’re the one who suggested high heels in the first place, so you have no problem wearing them, correct?”
A flash of light shines from Mrs . Zamas’ glasses .
I see that as a challenge from a fellow designer .
To show you due respect for having made such a wonderful dress, I accept your challenge!

“Well of course! I’ll show you I can wear them perfectly! … Sisie, make sure you have some compresses and bandages ready!
I give perfect instructions to Sisie as I turn the skirt’s hem around .
“Understood . I’ll pick up your bones, so don’t worry about a thing!”
The ball is tomorrow .
As part of my exercise for losing weight, I have already practiced dancing a lot, so I’m confident I can pull through .
Even though it’s just an academy event, it will be my first time going to a ball, so I’m feeling nervous about it .

Speaking of which, I wonder if either His Highness or Remias will be going with me?
I haven’t spoken much with either lately, so I don’t know if they’re planning to go to the ball . But I don’t necessarily have to go there with a partner .
It’s okay to go by myself since it’s strongly implied to be a mere friendly reunion . Remie also said that she’d be going without a partner .
I’d like to take this ball as a good opportunity to deepen my bonds beyond with others beyond my childhood friend .
For some reason, ever since I started going to the academy and until now, many people have been avoiding me no matter how much I approached them, so I couldn’t get along with anyone besides, well, my childhood friend .
With my chest full of both anticipation and tension, I went to bed early in preparation for tomorrow .
