As a villain, I really don't want to be pursued by the heroine.

"Oh, I was wondering how a girl could live without pretty little skirts." Nia raised her eyebrows.

"Not bad." After giving a subtle compliment, Charlotte looked back at Ellie and after thinking for a moment, she said, "It suits you very well."

"But why don't you wear it normally?"

Alice gently stroked the light fabric, lowered her eyes, and whispered softly, "This is what the master gave to Alice a while ago."

"If I wear it normally, I always feel reluctant to do it."

The blonde girl's face, usually as calm as a statue, was now filled with a feather-like softness.

Even though they were of the same sex and had no such thoughts, the two girls were slightly startled, as if the softest part of their hearts had been touched, and they felt a surge of pity for the little maid.

"It's rare for me to go out with Roy, and tomorrow won't be 'normal'."

"That's right, change it quickly so I can see it!"

Charlotte and Nia rarely reach an agreement.

At the urging of the two girls, Alice shyly changed into a dress.

I have to say, the light, misty fabric and simple, slim design complement the light golden hair and flawless fair skin very well.

A certain elf girl held her head and screamed excitedly: "Damn it, how could Roy be so lucky to have such a lovely maid like you!"

Charlotte admired him from head to toe with ardent eyes several times, and couldn't help but sigh: "If it weren't for the fact that you belong to Roy, I would have wanted you to be my maid."

Alice felt itchy inside and a little embarrassed. She grabbed the hem of her skirt with both hands and curled up her white toes slightly.

In fact, she never cared about other people's opinions. But these two were women that Roy favored. Getting their approval meant that she would most likely get Roy's approval as well.

Just thinking of Roy's admiring look made her feel uneasy.

"Good, now that the clothes problem is solved, the next step will be easy." Charlotte crossed her arms and smiled slightly.

Nia also pinched her chin, squinted her eyes, and thought: "Well, this is the skirt, as for the socks..."

"Just black/white stockings!"*2

After speaking in unison, the two girls looked at each other with the same surprise on their faces.

Alice asked confusedly, "Which one is it?"

"Of course it's black stockings. Black and white are a contrast, highlighting elegance, and Roy likes black stockings."

"Hey, hey, hey, no matter how you think about it, white stockings go with a white skirt, right? Besides, Roy obviously prefers white stockings!"

Charlotte glanced back and realized that the black stockings with the white skirt were indeed a bit strange, but she still insisted, "Even so, the legs should be bare! Roy is not interested in white stockings!"

Nia shook her head after hearing this: "You sound like you know a lot."

"That's the truth. No one understands Roy better than me." Charlotte replied bluntly.

The two people's eyes met each other, emitting an invisible smell of gunpowder.

Until this moment, Alice, who was trapped between the two men, had not realized that her nightmare had just begun.

--------

The next morning, Roy followed the rising sun to the Fountain Square on the North District Commercial Street to wait.

This was Nia's request.

In her words, this is called the ritual of dating.

Just looking at her stiff smile, Roy suspected that they were not ready for the date and that was why they kicked him out.

Well, it always takes some time for a girl to dress up before going out, so it doesn’t matter where she waits.

Early in the morning, you can see men and women of similar age wandering around the square. They are obviously young couples who are here for a date during the holiday.

Most people were waiting boredly until the other party appeared, and then an expression of shyness or joy appeared on their faces, as if their whole body was covered with a layer of pink aura.

This will make those waiting even more anxious and impatient.

Fortunately, Roy is different from them. When others are bored, they can only stare blankly, but Roy can check the panel when he has nothing to do.

He had consumed a lot of reputation points before, but fortunately the two titles of [Winner of the Blue Trial] and [Ally of the Golden Sands Faction] made up for some of it for him.

It seems that as long as you make achievements or cooperate with a certain force, you will get the corresponding title and corresponding reputation points.

Roy doesn't have much desire for fame itself, but he has a strong desire for exchange items.

Compared to the extraordinary items in the [Favorability Lottery Area], the things in the [Reputation Exchange Area] are not as powerful, but they are available in large quantities. With so many items, there are always some that can be used.

Even if you can't use it yourself, it's great to give it to others.

If it weren't for the elemental barrier and holy water, I'm afraid those students would have died under the miasma of [Withering of All Things].

Roy flipped through the list of the [Reputation Exchange Area], wondering if he could draw out weapon materials for the little maid.

The list did not disappoint him, as some of the materials actually sounded very advanced.

They even have the Holy White Stone that is monopolized by the church. You have to know that this is the thing used to forge holy swords and holy armor. It is a national strategic material. In a sense, it is almost catching up with the King's Certificate.

However, the reputation points are not enough now, so Roy plans to save up more and get the minimum amount in one go.

Roy didn't have to wait too long before he saw a golden figure floating towards him from afar.

In the morning sun, her golden hair flutters.

That holy and dazzling temperament, like an angel, is quite eye-catching.

Who else could this be but my Alice?

Roy smiled unconsciously and strode over eagerly until he saw Alice's outfit clearly.

"Master, I didn't keep you waiting too long, did I?"

"No, compared to this, your outfit..."

Alice paused and said weakly, "This is Charlotte and Nia's suggestion."

Noticing Roy's slightly stiff expression, Alice asked uneasily, "Isn't that a little strange?"

It's more than just strange. Roy complained in his heart. If it weren't for not wanting to hurt Alice's feelings, he would have wanted to hide his face.

The skirt was the one Roy bought for her before, so there was nothing wrong with it.

But other than that, it's a complete mess!

Her delicate blonde hair was combed into a long ponytail on the left side and a slicked back ponytail on the right side. Her left leg was covered in black stockings and her right leg in white stockings. Her left hand wore a popular gem bracelet worn by the daughters of the kingdom, while her right hand wore a simple garland that only the descendants of elves wore.

Each one looks good on its own, but when combined together it's just weird, as if the respective characteristics of Charlotte and Nia were pasted together!

Even though Alice is like an undecorated white paper and looks good with anything, she can't stand so many strange colors mixed together and splashed on her!

Fortunately, she is very good-looking, and at first glance, she looks a bit like performance art.

It's weird, but still pretty.

If it were an ordinary girl, she would have made people on the street laugh.

Seeing Roy's complicated expression, Alice couldn't hide her disappointment and sighed slightly.

"Master, I really don't like it."

Chapter 8 Just be yourself

Alice slumped her shoulders, exuding a gloomy atmosphere, and murmured dejectedly, "As expected, the master doesn't like it."

It looked like a lost golden retriever puppy, which made people feel both lovable and pitiful.

Roy scratched his cheek and said with a wry smile, "It's not a question of whether I like it or not."

"It's just that this doesn't suit you."

"Not suitable?" Alice asked doubtfully, "I clearly consulted Charlotte and Nia's opinions and dressed up to suit the master's taste."

The little maid's train of thought is very simple.

If you want to give your host a perfect date, you should be the person he likes.

Charlotte = Roy's favorite look. Nia = Roy's favorite look.

Two people together, wouldn't that be 1+1=2, giving the owner double the happiness?

However, Alice did not expect that Charlotte and Nia would argue fiercely just over how to dress, and in the end, the result was that they each took a little bit, and now they look like this.

Roy was speechless after hearing this.

It's a good thing to ask Charlotte and the others for advice, but the problem is that if you ask them for advice from two of them at once, it would be a good thing if they don't fight with each other. It would be strange if they don't confuse you.

What's more -

"You don't need to be Charlotte or Nia." Roy rubbed Alice's head and said with a smile.

"Alice is cute just the way she is, so all she needs to do is be herself."

The girl's eyes trembled slightly when she heard this.

"Just be yourself?"

But, can my master like me if I just do what I want?

"That's right, just be yourself." Roy repeated forcefully.

Looking at her own figure filling the boy's eyes, the girl felt an inexplicable emotion leaping in her heart, her heart itching and yet extremely warm.

In the end, Alice nodded, not quite understanding what was going on.

"follow me."

Roy held Alice's hand, looked around, found a cafe, and ordered a private room.

He couldn't just take Alice out on the street like this, he had to give Alice a good beating.

Roy asked Alice to sit down and started fiddling with the strange hairstyle that had been damaged.

"Master, Master? Alice can do it herself." The little maid raised her hand a little flustered, but didn't know whether she should stop him.

"It's inconvenient for you to not be able to see. I'll do it for you." Roy deliberately teased, "Or do you not trust me?"

"No!" Alice shook her head vigorously.

Then she calmed down and said in a voice as soft as a mosquito's hum, "Then I'll trouble you, Master."

Roy couldn't manage a complicated hairstyle, but he could restore Alice's original look. In order to improve the maid's favor, he had asked Vanilla for advice on how to style a girl's hair.

Gently untie the hair loop, and the soft light golden long hair falls like a golden waterfall sparkling with sunlight, spreading a warm fragrance of irises.

The golden hair was so smooth and looked like a trickle of water under the warm sun, which made Roy unable to let go. The faint fragrance immersed him in it and he stayed there for several seconds.

"Owner?"

"Ah, it's okay."

Roy replied calmly, but he felt a little embarrassed.

He kind of regretted not letting Alice come by herself.

Touching and smelling a girl's hair is very rude no matter how you look at it. Fortunately, Alice was slow to notice.

Roy calmed himself down and quickly tied her hair back into her usual twin ponytails.

Her original short hair had already fallen to her shoulders, making her look less childish and cute, and more feminine and gentle.

Roy clapped his hands in satisfaction: "That's good."

"Next comes the socks."

"sock......"

Recalling the days when Roy often massaged her feet during dance practice, Alice's heartbeat became inexplicably disordered, and she had an embarrassing urge to curl up and hide from Roy.

But paradoxically, she didn't hate it, instead she had a vague expectation of it.

Since it is the master's request, as a maid, I should not refuse.

"Excuse me, Master."

Alice carefully lifted one of her black silk feet wrapped in high-heeled sandals and placed it in front of Roy.

Roy was dumbfounded.

First of all, he is not a foot fetishist.
