Labyrinth Restaurant

"Ugh, I've just been eating lately and would you like to come in, here... isn't your waist too thin?

"It's okay. I can adjust it with a bow at the waist, if you want."

"Wow! Here it is, cute! Wow!"

The time was a little before evening.

Three people, Alice, Lisa and Freya, were dressed in costumes in the understatement of an outdoor theatre that would be the venue for a theatre tournament. It's still over two hours to the production, but just in case, it's early entry.

As for Lisa, she was temporarily in a crisis of appearance due to last night's disturbance, but the disturbance was mitigated by the driving of Cosmos and her strong hopes set her on stage.

All three costumes are handmade by Alice.

There have been a lot of trials and errors because it's the type of clothing that I don't normally make, but there have been close consultations between the three of us since the early stages of the design, which ultimately turned out to be satisfactory.

Cocktail dresses are based, but they are easier to move than they look because they let the fabric have play compared to typical party dresses. Since the two non-Freya are amateurs when it comes to performing the arts in front of the audience, I eventually decided to focus on the song without dancing, a form that adopted the early proposal as it was easy to move and no harm.

It would have been easier to move now if it had been Freya's proposed, super mini design with exposed machines both above and below, but the draft was unfortunately democratically rejected due to the fierce opposition of the other two, and a skirt with lengths down to the knee was adopted. On boulders, there seemed to be strong resistance to costumes (hippos) that were likely to be reported as being outside the beach or the Samba Carnival.

The design itself is common, but there are three shades: red, white, and yellow.

Sometimes it's the rose flowers that are motifs, and I decided on those three colors. This costume is red for Alice, white for Lisa and yellow for Freya, taking into account the compatibility with the hair color.

Edge embellishments (scallops) and frills to a lesser extent, large rose-shaped decorative ribbons at the diagonal back of the hips. It gives the impression that it's monochromatic, so it's a yarn of colour that won't stand in the way of the main colour, and I have this embroidered with rose motifs again.

Decorations other than the main dress, hair decorations and tights and shoes were also eagerly considered, sometimes with reference to fashion magazines that Lisa had bought in Japan.

Combining over-the-counter accessories and Alice's handmade items with not oh and not like this was unexpectedly fun, and I had a sort of a feeling that I had done when the costume was finished, which may have been one reason Alice forgot about the tournament until yesterday.

When the three of them are dressed and enjoying the chat.

Concon, and the sound of knocking on the door of the armoury sounded.

"Who is it? Ah, demon king!

"Huh... ah!?"

Along the way, ToLOV tries to invite the Demon King who came to see how things went indoors without thinking about Freya, who had only finished dressing one person first...... There was some trouble, but from the angle of the door, Alice and Lisa were in an invisible position, so it's safe. Nothing wrong with that.

Precisely, I only had a problem with Alice Angry Iron Claw shortly afterwards, to the extent that Freya's head was about to become like a crushed tomato.

Besides, the Demon King,

"Yes, plug in. I'll see you later."

And I just put the little box of plugs away and walked away right away.

Apparently, that's why I came all the way here.

"This... sounds like chocolate"

When Alice opened the little box after she finished dressing, it was packed with adorable decorative chocolate treats inside. Apparently, it's a different specialty than they usually sell in restaurants.

"That's about it, it's okay to eat, right?

"Are you okay? What is it?

Lisa was anxious to see if the costume would fit, and she was actually skipping lunch today.

Alice, not knowing her fat troubles, wondered what "okay" meant, and Freya, also unrelated to obesity, had already thrown pakupaku and chocolate sweets into her mouth.

Lisa bit the meaning of the word "unequal society" as a real feeling in her first year of high school, and as such reached for chocolate because she was hungry. As a result of this loss of immediate desire, disparities may widen even further.

"Oh, is it an opera after all? Demon King, you've made a lot of things."

Opera.

This French confection is layered with biscuit dough on several layers, pinched with coffee flavoured cream or mocha syrup to stain the flavour and cover the surface with chocolate. It often helps to enhance the flavor of alcohol if it's meant to be, but this time it's because Lisa is around or alcohol is somewhat modest.

Normally it's a kind of treat that you put on a plate properly and behave yourself with using a fork, but this time you're aware that it's for pre-production plugging, it's cut into bite sizes for easy pinching, and even more decorated with small pieces of gold foil the size of your nails as colors on top of each of them.

"Was there a gold leaf in the shop's kitchen?

Even Japanese foods may sprinkle gold leaves over dishes for colour purposes, but the Demon King's shop doesn't usually serve dishes like putting gold leaves on them. Have you been purchasing somewhere just for this one?

"I've never seen it either... Ah, if you look closely at this, it's a sharpening, not a gold leaf"

"Huh!?"

"Heh! You fit chocolate with fish!

"Hehe, I'm kidding. Must have bought it somewhere."

Lisa stared at the thin little pieces that she was really about to take, but that was Alice's joke. Even though the thinness is similar, there are no sharpenings in chocolate confectionery for whatever it takes. Lisa, stunningly caught in the joke, swelled her cheeks and turned that way.

"No, out-of-the-box fish stock could work and be delicious!

"No, no, why do you eat down there?

Freya was not angry that she had been deceived, but was trying to pursue the possibility of a new taste. Well, her quirks and paranoia are usual for her sake, so Alice was also appropriately decorated with what she was accustomed to. It is a proper and highly judgmental business that Freya will have forgotten what she is saying in three minutes, unless she pulls the topic off weirdly.

Well, whatever it was, we were almost in the finals in front of us, and despite their subjective refraining from the first round, all three of them had nothing to do with tension.
