Miss Witch Doesn't Want to be a Diva-Chapter 804 - 25: The Fancy Dress Prepared for the Autumn Moon Festival
A new day, although Tilan went to bed late yesterday, she felt exceptionally energetic this morning. It must be said, T3 level food really can alleviate fatigue with minimal side effects, no wonder it's so expensive yet still highly sought after.
Thinking of this, before heading out, Tilan took three candies from the sugar jar and put them in her pocket, just in case.
It felt like she was a hypoglycemic, walking along the road, the girl suddenly thought.
Because of the connection with the 'Grey Dust Crystal' singularity, her energy was continuously being drained, making her easily sleepy. She thought this status could only be alleviated by sleep, but now it seems that high-rank food potions could still be effective. freewёbn૦νeɭ.com
The morning classes were as usual, attending with the other first-year students, and in the afternoon there were special small classes for a few songstresses. Today's content was relatively light, four of them occasionally talked about the evening's event.
"Tonight is the 'Autumn Moon Lantern Festival' evening party organized by the school," Ores mentioned the traditional festival from The East.
"Because the timing on various star domains and planets differ, the Autumn Moon Lantern Festival is generally scheduled from the second to the third week of October, spanning two weeks."
"During this period, many commercial streets will organize various activities on weekends and Friday evenings, attracting tourists and residents to participate."
"Our school's party is scheduled for Tuesday evening, which is tonight," Shui Yanqing recalled the arranged schedule.
"Yes, I heard it is held early by the school, then on the weekend students are allowed to go out for free activities."
Due to the 'Golden Flame Flower' Academy's unique nature, to ensure safety, it is not open to the public, even during the 'Autumn Moon Lantern Festival' outsiders are not allowed in. Considering the small number of students, making too grand of an event might seem sparse, so the school's usual practice is to gather internally first, then allow students to freely go out and participate in events organized by the commercial districts within the Academy City or multi-school joint evening parties.
"Shall we all join?" Although Ores was asking, she was primarily looking at Tilan across from her, not really caring whether Shui Yanqing and Blanchi would go.
"Let's go together," Tilan nodded slightly.
"Do you guys have outfits prepared?" Shui Yanqing suddenly asked.
"Outfits?" Blanchi was a bit confused.
"It's the Eastern-style festive clothes for the evening party, there are actually quite a variety, but the most common would be Ru skirts," Shui Yanqing explained.
"I have plenty. When I collaborated with brand partners before, they sent me a lot, all stored in the closet, many of which I haven't even worn," Ores casually replied.
"I bought a few sets years ago when I was in Flying Feather Star Domain with Audrey, I don't think I've worn them much," Tilan recalled.
"I don't have any," Blanchi said somewhat pitifully.
"Hehehe, no worries, I'll accompany you to buy some later, it's not far anyway," Shui Yanqing smiled reassuringly.
"Thank you~"
With her mind at ease, Blanchi and the others then talked more about the evening event.
"The school's evening party is quite simple, generally prepared by the higher grades with more free time, and the first-year freshmen are just responsible for participating," Ores answered with ease.
"There will likely be small-scale competitive performances, operas, singing and so on. Hmm, sophomores Prin and Audrey will be on stage, and next year, it'll be our turn."
After finishing their afternoon classes, it was just past four o'clock. Shui Yanqing said she would accompany Blanchi to shop for clothes, while Ores dragged Tilan to her mansion.
Entering the luxuriously decorated mansion, Ores instructed the Ice Spirit maid nearby, "Where did they put the Eastern-style clothes sent by the brand partners?"
"It should be in the storages 107-109, please wait a moment, Madam Ores, we will bring them to you shortly," the maid proficiently replied.
After giving instructions, Ores continued to lead Tilan to the third floor of the mansion, where her bedroom was located on one side.
Upon opening the room, Tilan couldn't help but be amazed at the luxurious decorations. The room's overall color scheme was pure white and light blue, with a white stone-carved bed frame at the center, featuring lifelike light blue patterns, snow-white sheets, and a transcendent material blue velvet cup, other varieties of furniture and ornaments were also meticulously crafted supernatural creations, each one exceedingly expensive.
Despite the extreme luxury of these items, Ores herself seemed already accustomed to them, treating it much like any regular bedroom residence, laying back on the quilt with her silver-white hair sprawling beneath her.
"Ah, it's indeed more comfortable here." She exclaimed with her eyes closed.
"It seems that Ores also has it hard usually." Tilan chuckled, previously she thought that the image Ores portrayed was natural, but now it seems there's a bit of restraint and a forced business-like demeanor.
Having turned her body on the bed, Ores half-buried her head in the blanket, her voice slightly buzzing as she replied.
"Everyone has such expectations, so I just have to maintain this image. I have gotten used to it, but after a while, I still want to relax."
After finishing, she closed her eyes to rest for a while, then propped herself up and stood up again.
In the room, Tilan sat beside a small tea table at the side of the bedroom, watching Ores walk back and forth. First, she took off the elaborate and beautiful white dress and then changed into a breathable and comfortable simple nightgown before coming back to sit next to Tilan.
The only things left inside her nightgown besides underwear were a pair of white silk stockings that she hadn't taken off yet.
Since the room was very clean and carpeted, Ores didn't wear slippers, instead walking around in her white silk stockings. Once sitting, she even lifted her legs sideways onto the sofa, probably finding that position more comfortable.
"Would you like something to drink? I have quite a few good teas here." Speaking, Ores lifted the green porcelain teapot with silver floral decorations from the tea table, pouring Tilan a cup of amber-colored cool tea.
Reflected in the bright white porcelain glaze, the tea was very clear, and upon closer smell, there was also a faint floral scent. Although Tilan couldn't recognize what type of tea it was, just based on the taste and experience after drinking, she could guess that it was a very expensive supernatural beverage.
The two drank tea while Ores introduced the various furniture and ornaments in her bedroom to Tilan, many of which she had custom-made, and some were her favorite collectibles.
If it were someone else, they might think this young lady was showing off, but Tilan could feel that Ores was genuinely happy to share the things she liked with her.
Ores rarely has friends on a day-to-day basis, it seems. Theoretically, her status should attract quite a lot of people, Tilan was somewhat puzzled, but it was not a good time to ask directly.
During their conversation, the mansion's maids also brought over those well-preserved clothes from the storage.
"Are these all of them?" Tilan and Ores walked out of the bedroom, then saw rows of clothes racks placed in the entire room of the third floor side hall.
"Yes, a total of one hundred and three sets." The maid indicated that these were selected from before, other unwanted ones were already given away by Ores to other family members.
Surprised by Tilan's reaction, Ores enthusiastically toured down memory lane, recalling the origins of these garments.
"This one was used when 'Cold Fragrance Palace' had me do a co-promotion, this one was picked by my aunt when she returned from a vacation in the Eastern Star Domain, this set was when I was interested in magnificent garments and had them custom-made by a well-known designer." Ores introduced each piece to Tilan meticulously.
"Tilan, which ones do you like? I have too many to wear, giving some to you would also put them to use." She generously let Tilan choose a few.
"I actually have some, there's no need to specifically give them to me." Tilan slightly shook her head, then glanced at Ores's full bosom, guessing that clothes tailored to her figure might not necessarily fit, despite both being similar in height but different in physique.
"Are you worried about the size not fitting?" Ores noticed Tilan's gaze and was quite generous about it, then took Tilan's hand to one side and picked out a few pieces.
"These few sets are not demanding on the figure, try them on." She handed the clothes to the young girl, her expression seemingly very expectant.
Unable to refuse Ores's kindness, Tilan took the clothes and went to the dressing room in Ores's bedroom to change. She came out after a short while.
This set of clothes had a moon-white base, but between the whites, there seemed to be a faint bright yellow seeping through, akin to the color of osmanthus flowers. The collar of the dress was a long, narrow deep blue stripe pattern. Although narrow, the patterns inside were quite fine and delicate upon close inspection.
The sleeves were embellished with patterns of orchids and grass leaves, all sewn with special silver threads, and distributed in a scattered manner, perfectly displaying the elegance of the orchids.
"As expected, Tilan suits it very well." Ores looked left and right, observing the young girl in the changed outfits back and forth, quite satisfied.
"Right, there's still a need to arrange a suitable hairstyle."
She recalled something, then pulled Tilan to sit in front of the dressing mirror again. Subsequently, maids inside the mansion helped them tidy up their disheveled hair until both were re-groomed.
When the two returned to the guest hall of the mansion all dressed up, they had already changed into a complete set of gorgeous attire, including clothes, shoes, hairstyles, and also headpins and ornaments.
After all these arrangements were completed, Ores and Tilan finally went out together. By this time, it had gradually gotten dark, and the 'Autumn Moonlight Festival' evening party within the academy had gradually begun as well.
