Chapter 13 The Designer Girl's Worship
My name is Manila.
I'm the daughter of the owner of "Senart's Boutique," a renowned shop for nobles in the Granbell territory.
Since I was little, I've always admired my mom's work.
I've tried to design dresses by imitating her and even mimicked how she interacts with her clients, but honestly, I'm not sure if I'm doing it right.
My mom calls me a "genius," but I'm usually shy and clumsy, barely able to help with household chores, so I don't have much confidence.
So when my mom said she would take me to a meeting to decide on the debut outfit for a Granbell family daughter, I was really surprised.
I was scared...
But at the same time, I felt a little excited.
No matter how lacking in confidence I felt, I thought this was my chance to see if the design talent my mom praised so much was really impressive to others.
I wanted to know what impression my dress would leave on a noble lady, so I gathered all my courage and approached her to talk──.
But I never expected that my proposal would be accepted so quickly.
"Well then... shall we proceed with the measurements?"
"Yes, please, Ms. Manila."
As I was about to start measuring, Lady Yumie confidently revealed her body in front of me.
Since your design will be the basis, try to take the lead as much as possible in this process──.
When my mom told me that, I honestly felt so overwhelmed that I wanted to run away...
But the moment I saw Lady Yumie, partially undressed, I found myself instinctively reaching out to her.
Her skin was as beautiful as white porcelain.
Her arms and legs were so slender that they felt delicate, yet surprisingly, they had a firm elasticity when I touched them.
Even in her underwear, she exuded elegance with her refined movements, and her dignified smile made her look both cute and cool at the same time.
The daughter of the Count's family possessed a mysterious charm, combining angelic beauty with princely grace.
Before I knew it, I was completely captivated by the charm of this person.
"Hehe... Ms. Manila, are you done yet? It tickles!"
"Oh, s-sorry!"
She just said "Fuhehe!"
You're so beautiful and cool, and on top of that, you naturally make such cute sounds.
How much more will this person charm me?
As I finished taking measurements, Lady Yumie suddenly fell silent with a difficult expression.
I wondered what was wrong.
"A perfect child's figure... but maybe it's a bit too thin. It might be cuter if I added a little more meat... Should I increase my food intake...?"
I was shocked by what I heard.
I've heard that it's common for nobles to restrict their diet to achieve the ideal body shape.
But that's always about getting "thinner." I've never heard of anyone adjusting their food intake to get "thicker."
"No, if I start that now, I won't finish adjusting the dress in time... Ms. Manila, can I ask you something?"
"Y-yes!"
"It's about the dress..."
This unconventional idea, free from common sense, could either be a great success or a disaster.
But since it's the adorable Lady Yumie doing it, I'm sure everyone will be captivated.
No one can ignore that.
The thought that I might be able to help in some way makes me proud...
But at the same time, it's scary.
Can I really handle this? I've always been weak and have repeated failures.
"Ms. Manila, are you okay?"
"Uh, ah, I'm sorry! I was just lost in thought...!!"
Even though Lady Yumie was talking to me, I was so caught up in my own worries that I completely zoned out.
What a blunder.
After all the expectations she had, I can't complain if I get scolded for this.
I instinctively shut my eyes tightly and shrank back, and Lady Yumie gently patted me.
I hope this captures the essence of the original text while making it flow naturally in English.
"There's no need to be so nervous. Ms. Seriana said it too, right? Just do your best with what you can. If there are things you don't understand or feel unsure about, take your time and rely on Ms. Seriana. I hope my request helps you grow."
"Ah..."
Instead of getting angry, she encouraged me...
And even said that if her request could contribute to my growth, that would be great.
Could she really be an angel? She's so different from the image I had of nobles until now.
"Yes... I'll do my best...!"
It's rude to be scared and lack confidence when I've been given so much support and encouragement.
I'll do everything I can to the best of my ability.
And I will definitely make Lady Yumie's social debut a success!
"Lady Yumie, thank you so much... I will absolutely complete the best dress, so please look forward to it!"
Please wait for me, Lady Yumie.
With all my strength, and my mom's too, I will make Lady Yumie the greatest angel in the world!!
