It was night.

“Mm. Okay… but it's embarrassing, so can you look the other way?”

“Huh? Why—”

“Just turn around.”

“Got it.”

Victoria stared intently at me as she spoke, so I decided to obey.

It's not like I was scared because I felt an intimidating pressure similar to Nee-san when she's angry. Definitely not.

For a while after that, the sound of fabric rubbing together echoed clearly through the room.

…What exactly was Victoria doing?

“Mm. You can look now.”

“Alright, then let's get started with the measurements—”

When I turned around, Victoria was standing there completely naked, her cheeks red as she covered her chest and crotch with her hands.

She was stark naked.

Moonlight streaming in through the window illuminated her pale skin, giving her an oddly mystical aura.

Victoria spoke softly.

“Mm. If you stare too much… it's embarrassing.”

“Um… why did you take your clothes off?”

“…Eh?”

Victoria froze, mouth slightly open, her expression blank.

“…Mm. When I get dresses made, the seamstress always tells me to undress, so I just assumed…”

“Ah. I see.”

It's true that measuring someone nude gives more accurate numbers and makes for a better fit, but measurements taken over clothing are usually fine too.

When I explained that, Victoria puffed out her cheeks in displeasure.

Then she started lightly kicking my leg.

“You should have said that sooner.”

“H-hey, that hurts. It actually hurts. Princess Victoria, please don't kick me.”

“Mm. You saw a girl naked, so someday you'll take responsibility properly.”

“You're the one who stripped on your own, Princess Victoria…”

Angered by my response, Victoria puffed out her cheeks even more, then started punching my chest lightly with her fist in addition to kicking.

It still kind of hurt.

“Alright, I'll start measuring now, so please stand up straight and relax.”

“Mm. L-like this?”

“Yes, just like that. I'll start with your top bust.”

“Mmh♡ …That tickles a bit.”

“It'll be over soon, so please stay still.”

I measured Victoria's body over her clothes.

After the top bust came the underbust, waist, and hips.

“Mm. Finally done…”

“Not quite. I still need to measure your shoulder width, sleeve length, arm length, and overall length.”

“…Where are those?”

While Victoria tilted her head in confusion, I quickly finished taking the rest of the measurements.

“Mm. You know everything about my body now.”

“Alright, I'll alter the clothes real quick.”

About thirty minutes passed.

My spare outfit was quickly transformed into a size that fit Victoria perfectly.

Alright, done.

“Mm… Fast. Your hands moved so fast I couldn't follow them.”

“Well, I am pretty good at it… but once you get used to it, anyone can do this much.”

“Impossible.”

“Princess Victoria, go ahead and try it on.”

“Mm.”

Victoria put on the jet-black outfit.

“How is it? Any tight spots or places that are hard to move in?”

“…Mm. It's fine. Surprisingly easy to move in.”

“That's good.”

Victoria stood in front of the mirror, striking various poses.

…She's cute.

“Oh, right. You'll need a mask too. Here.”

“Mm!! …A skull mask? Not a crow-like mask like No-Face-sama’s?”

“The one active in the Empire is No-Name, so you'll need to match that.”

“…Mm. Okay.”

Victoria's shoulders visibly slumped.

I like No-Name's skull mask too, but maybe girls just don't like skulls that much.

Oh, right.

“When we get back to the kingdom, I'll give you a plague mask made just for you, Princess Victoria.”

“Mm!! I'm looking forward to it!!”

Alright. Preparations complete.

“Shall we wander around the capital right away?”

“Mm. Heal the injured, heal the sick, heal everyone.”

And so, Victoria and I went out on our date into the imperial capital at night.

At one point, Victoria nearly got caught by a knight, but I managed to smooth things over as her senior.

I've done street healing with the indiscriminate healing magicians Nightingale before, but…

This was my first time doing it alone with a girl, and it was fun.

The day after my date with Victoria.

“Ask, no snacking or drinking juice before bed. And make sure you brush your teeth properly after every meal—morning, noon, and night. No staying up late either.”

“Nee-san, can you stop treating me like a kid?”

Since she was staying behind in the Empire in case monsters invaded from the demon lands, Nee-san seemed overly worried about me.

Am I worried about her, you ask?

Not really.

If there's anyone who could kill Nee-san, it'd probably be Nee-san herself.

“Mm. Ask, let's ride in the same carriage as us.”

“Huh? But isn't Princess Victoria's carriage reserved for royalty—”

“It's fine.”

And so, I ended up riding in the same carriage as Victoria.

Naturally, since it was a royal carriage, Victoria's older sister Christina was there too.

And there was one more person.

“Huh? Eri?”

“Ah—s-sorry for intruding…”

“Mm. Watch closely—witness how affectionate Ask and I are.”

“Princess Victoria? What are you—”

The next moment, Victoria plopped herself onto my lap with momentum.

“Victoria, that's improper!!”

“Mm. It's fine. Last night, Ask and I spent the whole night together doing even more improper things.”

““!?””

“Of course, he saw me naked. We also worked up a lot of sweat.”

““!?””

“Isn't it more accurate to say Princess Victoria showed herself—”

““!?””

Christina and Eri both turned bright red at Victoria's words.

They definitely misunderstood.

“W-wow… Princess Victoria is so grown-up!!”

“Victoria, when did you get that far!?”

“Mm. I'm always one step ahead.”

Victoria looked at Eri with a triumphant smile.

“T-then, um… have you two kissed already?”

“…We haven't kissed yet.”

“After all that!?”

“Mm. Then I'll do it now.”

“Huh?”

Victoria leaned her face toward mine.

I thought she was about to kiss me—but she stopped just before—

And her face suddenly turned red.

“I-I won't. It's embarrassing after all.”

“You go that far and now you're embarrassed!?”

…Hmm.

“Princess Victoria.”

“Mm? What is it?”

“Excuse me.”

I gently kissed Victoria.

“Like this?”

“……”

“Princess Victoria?”

“Victoria? Victoria… wait, she fainted!?”

…Maybe I teased her too much.

Well, I'll call it revenge for all the kicking and punching she did yesterday.
