Chapter Thirteen: To the Cosplay Store!

Once Aina and I were all done up at the royal palace, we made our way back to the Thunderbird’s Roost inn, where I informed the rest of my companions that I needed to “pay a visit to a dressmaker friend of mine” before secretly stepping through the portal back to grandma’s house. I’d told my companions that it would probably take me a couple of days, so that gave me more than enough time to pick out a dress for Shess. I slid open the closet door and was greeted by the sight of Shiori and grandma eating dinner at the low table.

“Oh, welcome back, bro-bro!” Shiori said cheerily.

“Welcome back, Shiro. Have you had dinner already?” grandma asked me.

I closed the closet door and announced, “I’m home! Though I’ll be leaving again soon enough.”

I glanced at the table. That evening’s meal for grandma and Shiori was a meat and potato stew, rice, and some hearty miso soup with plenty of vegetables in it. The mere sight of a proper Japanese dinner made my stomach growl, even though I’d already eaten dinner with Aina and the others at the inn. There was just something so comforting about a nice Japanese-style meal, you know?

“Want some?” grandma asked me, likely noticing the longing in my eyes.

“Well, if you’re offering...”

“Sure. I’ll get you a plate.”

I made sure to eat my fill of the earthenware pot-cooked rice that I was having for the first time in a long time.

“Oh, by the way, where’s Saori?” I asked between mouthfuls of ice cream that we’d decided to have after we’d finished our main course.

“She’s got club activities at school,” Shiori replied. “She said she was going to have dinner with her teammates and come to grandma’s tomorrow.”

Shiori and Saori went to the same high school, so they pretty much knew each other’s schedule inside out.

“Oh, that’s excellent news,” I said.

Shiori shot me a dirty look for responding in this way. “Bro-bro, you’re such a meanie. Poor Saorin.”

“No, you don’t understand. I need grandma’s help with something really important, but I wouldn’t be able to ask her about it if Saori were here.”

“My, my. You need my help?” grandma asked.

“I do! So basically...”

I recounted the events of the past few days to grandma and Shiori: how Zidan had asked me to come join him in the royal capital, how we’d met the queen, who had asked me to procure a dress for her daughter, how much of an insufferable brat Shess was, and so on and so forth. I didn’t stop babbling for a single second, and by the time I was done, I noticed that grandma had laid out some tea and sweets on the table for us.

“Anyway, that’s why I’m back here. I need to go and look for a dress for Shess,” I summed up.

“Wow, you have to find a dress for the princess! You’re seriously amazing, bro-bro!” Shiori marveled.

“My, now that is impressive,” grandma said, a tender smile on her face.
