Chapter 124: Shion the Otherworlder
ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー
“…….. Umm… Can someone please say something already…?”
Elsa-sama slammed the door open. She was still holding onto my hand so I got dragged along as she went inside. But… No one had said anything.
If this dress doesn’t suit me then just say it. At least please someone just say anything…
“Ren-chama, you’re so cute!”
“… Thank you? I wonder about that though… Umm….”
“My name is Sesil!”
“Princess Sesilia, right? I’m sorry I didn’t recognize you right away but I think Princess Sesilia is so many times prettier than me.”
The first person that returned to their senses was a small princess who was holding hands with Chris-san. She must be one of Fer-san’s nieces. This pretty girl with her fluffy, navy blue hair tied in pigtail came to me and praised me. She pulled her hand away from Chris-san and gently held the hem of her pink dress and slightly bowed her back as she introduced her name to me. Her manner as a lady was impeccable.
This is bad! She’s way too adorable!!
I crouched down so I could meet her eyes and then I smiled at her.
“That, my aunt and grandmothers are forcing it on you, right? If you don’t want to, you need to say it clearly or else my aunt and grandmothers won’t back down.”
“Fufu~ I understand. I certainly don’t really favor this kind of dress so this will be the only time I will wear it.”
Princess Sesilia advised me, probably speaking from her experience. She looked like she was about 4 or 5 years old but she really could speak her mind clearly.
“Ren-kun, you look very adorable but big sister, I think something more simple and sharp would suit Ren-kun more. This outfit is an overkill.”
Fer-san was smiling from ear to ear as he praised me but then he said something a little strange.
What do you mean by something more simple and sharp would suit me ….
“Ren-chan certainly looks cute but… I think the clothes Ren-chan usually wears are still the best?”
“Oh, I like it when Ren wears an apron. It must be hard walking in that outfit, right?”
Chris-san also praised me and said he preferred the things I wore usually. Sig-san also came close to me with a few boys in tow behind him. Sig-san said he preferred me in an apron. Just like what Sig-san had mentioned, this skirt was hard to move in.
Just how are women able to walk briskly in such a fluttering skirt like this?
I needed to be careful when I walked because I was afraid the skirt would flip over if I didn’t. Well… Although I didn’t really mind even if someone were to see what was behind this skirt….
“Huh? Even though he already looks this cute…”
“Big Sister Elsa, I also prefer the outfit I usually wear on a daily basis.”
Big Sister Elsa puffed her cheeks out in disgruntlement seeing their reaction. She should be already over 30 years old but she still looked so adorable when doing that. Well… When Corey-san dressed me up, I was fine with it since she didn’t go overboard but as I expected, this outfit was simply too much so I also voiced my opinion to Big Sister Elsa.
“Huuh? But isn’t this a normal outfit that otherworlder used to wear?”
“Huh?”
“Because when I won the bid for these clothes, I received the paper that said so… Here, take a look at it.”
When Big Sister Elsa heard me, she tilted her head in confusion.
They thought a lolita outfit is normal clothes?!
I received the paper from Big Sister Elsa and began to read it.
※※※
Xxxxxx November,
These clothes belonged to an otherworlder, Shion, who appeared in Varfort Kingdom. Shion made these clothes after Shion came to Alsar. Shion had several sets of clothes with them when they came to Alsar but it wasn’t enough. Shion wanted to spread the same kind of clothing they used to wear back in their original world so Shion made plenty of similar looking clothes but this outfit was their most favorite one. This outfit came with a matching hair ornament and Shion preferred the following hairstyle to go along with this outfit.
※※※
On that paper, along with that short introduction letter, there was a drawing of the clothes I wore and several hairstyle pictures.
“This letter is dated 4 years ago? Shion the otherworlder?”
“That’s right? I don’t really know the details but Shion is already dead. It seemed Shion also wore this kind of clothing when they appeared in Alsar so I thought you guys usually wore this kind of clothing. Also when I asked Manami-sama about this, he said these clothes came from a different era than his.”
“Allow me to explain.”
The date written on the paper was about 4 years ago. Shion came to this world 4 years ago but they were already gone now… The only otherworlder I had met was Manami-sama so I’d love to meet with this Shion if I could.
While I was pondering to myself, Ed-sama came close and began his explanation.
“Ren, my sister and mothers have been messing with you for a while now. I apologize for that.”
Ed-sama wrinkled his eyebrows together and bowed deeply at me.
“Ah, no. I was the one who couldn’t say no.”
Yeah, it was my fault for not being firm about it. Ed-sama wasn’t the one at fault at all.
“I’m sure you will be able to clearly say ‘no’ to them but for now… Please take a seat.”
Judging from Big Sister Elsa’s circumstances, it seemed she really thought wearing lolita clothes was really a normal thing in my original world… Since Ed-sama already said that, I should be firm and do my best in refusing them.
Ed-sama told me to take a seat so I was about to sit in the same chair I had sat on before when I realized this fluffy skirt was making it hard for me to sit.
“Hey, hey, Ren-chama. I want to sit on your lap. Ren-chama, you smell so good.”
“Fufu~ Very well, oh my beautiful princess.”
Princess Sesilia was toddling along behind me as I walked toward my seat. The way she asked to sit on my lap was so adorable, it made me smile. I picked her up and then put her on my lap.
I had been wondering when she was holding hands with Chris-san but maybe this was what it felt like to have a daughter? Princess Sesilia also had the same hair color as Chris-san, their resemblance made me think about that.
It seemed Fer-san and the others had taken a seat nearby too. The children, maybe they got excited because they could hear the story about an otherworlder, they also briskly sat down on the fluffy rug, looking very eager. Both the king and Lucien-sama watched this scene before them with a smile on their face.
“Sesilia… Well it seems Ren is happy so I will let it be. Ren, first of all, I will start by telling you about Shion the otherworlder.”
“Yes.”
I only knew a little about the otherworlder in here so if someone wanted to tell me anything about an otherworlder, I’d love to hear about it.
“I will tell you what we know about Shion. He’s an otherworlder who came to this world 4 years ago. He appeared in the Varfort Kingdom. Shion was about 23 years old at that time. The king of Varfort took Shion under his shelter.”
“He?!”
“Y-Yeah. He’s a man.”
Since Shion was the owner of these clothes, I thought he was a woman but it turned out he was a man…. So he liked to wear female clothes…?
“After he gained the protection of the king, he delved into the clothing business and worked really hard to promote the clothing from your world. The clothes Ren is wearing right now were made by him too.”
“I-I see…”
I personally think this is not something we should popularize…. It’d be bad if the otherworlder who came after him had to wear this clothes too because the people here thought this kind of lolita clothes is normal in our original world…
“But he died in an accident two years and a half after he came to Alsar. The clothes he made were put into auction according to his will that he made when he was still alive and then, big sister, you won the bid for his clothes, didn’t you?”
“Yes. I actually already set my eyes on something else but when I saw these clothes, it was love at first sight. I had to buy it.”
He arrived in a different world and died a short while later… Maybe it was fine if he didn’t have any attachment to Earth just like me but if he had someone he had to leave on earth, it must be very hard for him to suddenly fall into Alsar. 2 and half years… Maybe he had already resigned himself to live in Alsar forever by that time? Or maybe he was just dragging himself, forcing himself to live day by day? I didn’t know what was going on in his mind but… It was a shame he had to die at such a young age.
“It’s a shame I can’t meet with Shion-san… Big Sister Elsa… This kind of clothing is not common over there at all. A small fraction of women like to wear it but a grown man like me, we don’t usually wear this kind of clothing. Which is why I won’t wear this kind of clothing again in the future.”
“I see. That means, I’ve done something terrible to Ren. This is not a design we often see and I thought Fer and the others would be happy to see you wearing something cute. I never thought you’d be unhappy to wear it… I went overboard because I thought both you and the clothes were so adorable… I’m sorry. I won’t make you wear something too overly cute like this anymore.”
“U-Umm… So you’re still planning on dressing me up in the future..?”
Huh? It looks like I was able to convey my intention but at the same time it feels like I didn’t? Well at least I will be freed from the frilly hell. Well… I doubt we can visit the royal capital often in the future so if it’s just once in a while, I don’t mind going along with her whim though? I’d love to hear a story about Fer-san when he was a child too.
“Big sister, if you went overboard, Ren will be less inclined to come visit all of you in the castle, you know?”
“Ugh. I don’t want that to happen. Ren, I will be more mindful.”
Ed-sama’s warning seemed to have hit the nail. Between the two of them Ed-sama was the younger one, right? But their interaction… It appeared as if Ed-sama was the older one instead.
“If that’s the case then you will need to learn to restrain yourself… Also… Manami-sama did say these clothes were from a different era but it seems the otherworlder that had fallen into this world… They have different time axis. For example Ken came to this world 30 years before Manami-sama but according to their story, Ken and Manami-sama came from a different time. Ken’s time is set in the future compared to Manami-sama’s time.”
“Oh my… Well, in the first place coming to a different world is already a miracle itself. Having a different time axis doesn’t sound impossible….”
“When you put this kind of scenario into consideration, it’s not surprising to know that the clothes that Shion deemed as normal are not normal in Ren’s era.”
I see… So there’s a possibility that the next otherworlder that fell into Alsar might’ve come from the past? Eh, wait a minute! So it is possible that Shion-san might’ve come from the future and this kind of clothing is normal in future Japan?! I mean, we can’t rule that possibility out…
I pondered to myself, thinking about all the possibilities.
“Elsa-sama, it’s about time for…”
“Oh my, Laura. You’re right. I have to go soon. Ren, I’m sorry. I’m afraid I’ve run out of time. Me, father and the mothers, we all have some duty to attend to… If you don’t mind, how about if you stay in the castle for a little bit longer and talk with the little one? They’ve been waiting eagerly for your arrival.”
Big Sister Elsa said after Laura-san came close and whispered something to her.
Right. Everyone must be busy but despite that, they still made time to meet with us. Though… I suspect the reason why we had run out of time was because it took so long for them to dress me up….
“It’s not a problem. I’m the one who’s grateful because you’ve taken your time to meet with me.”
“I will leave Laura with you so you can change into your own clothes before you return. I’m sorry for the commotion I’ve caused.”
“No, it was nothing.”
“I’m really sorry. Well then, I need to go now. I hope we will be able to meet again. Now if you’ll excuse me…”
It seemed they really had run out of time because after saying the final farewell elegantly to us, Big Sister Elsa immediately rushed out of the room.
“Ren, I also want to apologize for what my queens and daughter have done to you. They really didn’t have any malicious intentions toward you… I’m afraid I will have to go now… Ah, please do come visit us again. Of course, the two of you are also welcome here.”
“Yes, thank you very much.”
“Ren, I’ll see you later.”
“I’m really happy I get to have a son like you. I will see you soon, okay?”
“Me too. I’m afraid I will need to excuse myself.”
“Yes.”
With that being said, the king, Lucien-sama and the mothers stood from their seats. They took turns hugging Fer-san before they left the room.

T/N: I didn’t expect they would take Ren’s reluctance this much but I’m happy about it. I especially like it when the boys said they like what Ren usually wears. I thought they’d take it in a comedic way but turns out the author decided to take the matter about consent seriously. (˵ •̀ ᴗ – ˵ ) ✧
