Chapter 157: Wearing Yukata for the First Time

「It was deliciou~s.」

「I second that, nya! I’m getting a bit tipsy nya~♪」

The slightly tipsy Vulcan and Aria were walking along the commercial district. Tama was comfortably cuddled in between Aria’s twin melons. Cedric and Arnold walked in the same way beside them.

「I want to eat more pickled veggies!」

「They’re so crunchy and tasty~!」

「Meat ish de best!」

Lily, Faeri, and Stella were having a debate about the best dishes. It seemed the dishes of this country could satisfy their palate.

「I-Is that a kimono shop?」

A while later, Aria pointed toward a certain direction. She could see sets of traditional clothes of various colors being displayed in the display window on the shop along the street.

「Let’s take a look inside♪ And since we have come this far, how about all of us buy yukatas?」

「Nnya! I think it’s a really nice idea to spend our time in this country while wearing yukatas, nyan!」

Vulcan instantly agreed to Arnold’s suggestion.

As for Aria, she naturally agreed too. After all, the colorful kimonos and the yukatas had piqued her interest since she had stepped into this country.

Thus, everyone decided to go into the store at once.

「Uwa! There are so many kimonos to choose from!」

Aria let out a rare, excited voice upon seeing various kimonos on display.

「Welcome to our store! Please take your time in choosing your clothes since you can also try them on.」

An ogre dressed in an elegant kimono politely greeted Aria and co. Kimonos seemed wonderful, but first, the group was looking at yukatas, which could be bought for everyday use.

（Hou, this one might look good on Master.）

Tama was strolling inside the store. He stopped right in front of a certain yukata. This yukata was light blue and white color as its base, which gave it a refreshing impression.

Since this was such a rare chance, Tama tried to call Aria with 「Nya~n」.

「Is something the matter, Tama? Ah! How lovely!」

Aria immediately came upon hearing Tama’s cries. Her eyes went wide when she saw the yukata Tama pointed at with his foreleg. It seemed she had also taken a liking to the yukata’s design.

「Tama, could it be that you chose a suitable yukata for me?」

「Nya~~~n!」

「Fufufu, thank you! Well then, let’s try this one♡」

Hearing Tama’s adorable cry, Aria replied with an entranced voice. Then, she called the shop assistant to help her in trying the yukata.

Aria’s porcelain white skin, platinum-colored hair, and refreshing-themed yukata raised her beauty to a whole new level.

「It looks really good on you, Dear Customer!」

After seeing Aria’s figure wrapped in a yukata, the ogre tribe’s shop assistant clapped her hand and praised her. It wasn’t empty flattery.

「Nya~(It looks really good on you, Master)!」

「Fufu, Tama seems to like it too♪」

Aria became even more delighted upon seeing Tama’s reaction. Her current state was that of a maiden in love.

「Uhm! So sly! Why it’s only Aria!」

「Tama! Please choose one for us too!」

「Me too~!」

Seeing the delighted Aria, Stella, Lily, and Faeri made their moves.

Tama couldn’t refuse their requests. Although he lacked confidence in choosing a woman’s dress, he still chose the ones he thought were most suitable for them.

His choice for Stella was the yukata that used white and red as its basic tone, for Lily light pink, and for Faeri light green yukata.

Just as one would expect from a sight-seeing spot, the shop didn’t just prepare a child-size yukata for Faeri; they even specially prepared smaller ones for small fairies such as Lily.

「Gufufufu, Tama chose this for me!」

「It feels strange, but it’s not bad!」

「It’s such a refreshing experience!!」

The three children happily wore the yukata Tama chose for them.

「Nyaofufufu, I’ll go with this one♪」

Suddenly, Vulcan showed herself from inside the dressing room. She wasn’t wearing a yukata. The dress she wore was called Jinbei. [TL: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jinbei]

Cedric and Arnold found the yukatas they took likings to. Cedric wore a jinbei like Vulkan, while Arnold wore a white yukata.

Just as planned, everyone left the store while wearing the traditional clothes of this country.
