The Bear Suit would protect me from any surprise attacks, but, as long as that didn’t happen, the Bear Shoes and Bear Gloves were enough to deal with pretty much everything, and that was why I couldn’t bear part from them.
On the side note, I couldn’t run at all without the Bear Shoes. I had never ran since elementary school, so I was pretty sure that if I didn’t wear the Bear Shoes, the girls would completely leave me behind in a race.
I thought that the children at the orphanage were amazing, being able to chase the cluckers all day long.
「Anyway, it feels really odd not seeing you in your bear suit.」
I felt the same way; I just couldn’t stay calm without it.
「Still, the dress suits you very well. I’m sure that once the boys get a look at you, marriage proposals will come flying your way.」
No, they wouldn’t. Also, I didn’t want to receive them, either.
「Forget about me. You should compliment your daughter instead.」
「Of course, Noa and Fina-chan are cute, but seeing you wear a dress is more shocking.」
I sighed and looked for a place to sit, but I wasn’t sure where I could go.
I had never been to a noble’s party, so I didn’t know if there were any seating arrangements. As I was in the middle of worrying about it, Meshun-san approached me.
「Yuna-sama and Fina-sama, please take your seats over there.」
Okay, so there was a seating arrangement. Oh, now that I looked more closely, it was arranged so the families were sitting together.
First came the Foschuroze family, then there was the Faren Gramm family, and next to them were Fina and I. Then, just a little further away, came all the people who worked at the mansion.
Fina and I took our seats and waited for the party to officially begin.
Hmm, dresses felt quite chilly to wear. My Bear Suit was able to adjust my body temperature, so I never had to worry about it. Not to mention, this dress was short, so it made sense for my legs to feel a bit chilly.
I missed my Bear Suit already, even though I had just taken it off.
After some time had passed, Gran-san, Misa’s parents, and Misa herself entered the room.
Gran-san took a look around the room, and his gaze stopped on me.
「Oh, it’s Yuna. I almost didn’t recognize you.」
He should have recognized me sooner.
I wasn’t even covering myself with my Bear Hoodie.
「Big Sis Yuna, you’re so pretty.」
「Thanks.」
I thanked Misa for her genuine compliment; children’s honest opinions always made me happy.
Now that everybody was seated, the party began.
Author’s Note:
Finally, after 740,000 characters, we got Yuna to take off her costume and put on a dress.
I wanted her to wear something different before we get to the rumored swimsuit event, which brings us to this chapter.
Oh, the swimsuit event? It won’t come for a while longer.
