Chapter 37: All Dolled-Up in Pretty Clothes

“Good.”

“Whoa, it’s perfect for her. Cute.”

“She was cute to begin with, so everything looks good on her... All right, this one next.”

“U-Umm...er...”

All dolled-up in pretty clothes, Charlotte stood there twiddling her thumbs. Angeline and Miriam brought her one outfit after another, and she had become their dress-up doll. While Anessa stood in the back looking rather bored of this whole situation, she too shrewdly held a few sets of clothes she wanted to see on the girl.

After refreshing themselves at the bathhouse, they next went to buy Charlotte clothes. It wasn’t a luxurious shop, but it was an upright establishment that never tried to scam its customers, and it was one of Angeline’s favorite stores.

Both Charlotte and Byaku had been wearing the exact same clothes they had worn during the uproar in Bordeaux, and the fabrics were all stained, dusty, and torn. The bath would have been pointless if they were going to continue wearing those.

Charlotte looked mortified and ashamed to let the girls take care of her clothing as well. However, Angeline insisted they would attract attention leading along a dirty child, and somewhat forcefully dragged her there. This soon turned out to be just a front—she was clearly enjoying herself.

“Try this one on next, ’kay?”

“H-Hey, what about the ones I picked out...”

“Oh my, at first you didn’t look interested. How cunning you are, Anne.”

“If you wanted to join us, you could have said so from the start. Oho ho ho...”

“Grr... Wh-What does it matter?”

“I didn’t say you’re wrong. Now let’s see what Anne’s capable of...”

This time, Charlotte wore the clothes Anessa chose out. At first, Charlotte had been ashamedly trying to make herself look smaller, but she was a girl and a former noble; it seemed she did feel joy in wearing pretty clothing. She gradually got into it, grabbing the hem of her skirt to curtsy, and leaning into poses. It was not long before she was enjoying herself, and the three adventurers giggled as she did.

Byaku, meanwhile, was looking on in amazement. How did that haughty, impertinent, and oblivious brat become so meek? he wondered.

“It’s all because of that stupid woman and her red-haired old man. What’s wrong with them...”

As far as Byaku was concerned, both Angeline and Belgrieve viewed the world through rose-tinted lenses. He would have felt quite a bit more at peace if Angeline had just killed him and Charlotte rather than helping them out. But it seemed her naivety was infecting Charlotte.

Just one warm hand, just one word, the warmth of family... Like hell that’s enough to change someone’s life, Byaku thought to himself in quiet rage. He felt something terribly unpleasant, as though his sense of values was being toppled from its fundamental foundation.

He had been ridiculed as a failure, made to live at the very bottom rung, and then forced to murder. His whole life, he had been used as a tool. To make matters worse, there was a demon beyond comprehension eating away at his insides.
