Chapter 136: Chapter 136 – Dress Up

Madam Schroder’s mansion. Inside the fitting room especially prepared for the performers of the Black Swan Theatrical Troupe.

Joshua found an exceptional seat in the fitting room. It was a soft sofa-like seat. The surface of the seat was made from some sort of creature’s leather. Joshua felt very cozy sitting on it.

Furthermore, Joshua was able to easily take the entire fitting room in his eyes by sitting on that sofa-like seat.

Regretfully, the actresses from the Black Swan Theatrical Troupe had already finished changing their clothes. The current fitting room seemed like it was completely reserved by Joshua.

“Lord Joshua… save me…”

“Don’t worry, Ynor. I guarantee that I will dress you beautifully.”

“Wuuu… noo!”

The succubus Ynor was running around the fitting room. Ynor was covering his chest with his hands. A cloth covering his chest was the only upper body garment left for the succubus. But, on his lower body was… a short skirt.

Ynor’s white flesh was completely exposed to the air. There was also his enticing shoulders and collarbones…

The person chasing after the succubus Ynor was the frost elf Tylene that had just joined Joshua’s entertainment guild.

After joining Joshua’s group for only two weeks, she became very close with Ynor who was working part time in the tavern and studying at the magic school.

They were so close that the frost elf dared to strip the succubus’s clothes and chase him around the room.

With tears in his eyes, Ynor was pleading for help from Joshua. But, Joshua was completely unmoved. He picked up the cup of black tea prepared by Ciri and took a sip.

......

“Why do I feel like the image of this frost elf is slightly wrong?”

Joshua placed his tea cup on his side table and asked Ciri who was seated next to him.

When Joshua ‘enticed’ the frost elf and brought her back, she was still a good-mannered and appropriately-behaved girl. Even though her ideology was excessively optimistic, Joshua believed her to be a good girl.

“Likely, her true nature has been revealed after her daily life became much more comfortable? Tylene! Ynor is hiding behind the second clothes rack!” Ciri shouted at Tylene.

“Got it!”

Receiving Ciri’s help, the frost elf lady shifted her body around and easily captured the hiding Ynor.

It would appear that the frost elf lady was not the only person whose true nature was revealed. This mage lady’s true nature also came to light.

Joshua had no intention in meddling in the interaction between his singer and actress. Because of that, Tylene ended up starting to dress Ynor for the upcoming ball.

This frost elf was a fan of ‘Beauty and the Demon.’ When she learned Ynor to be the person playing Belle, things ended up developing this way.

While choosing clothes for Ynor, the frost elf revealed an astonishing talent in makeup and dress-up. She also possessed multiple different styles.

Every time Ynor walked out from the fitting room, he would appear like someone completely different. One moment, Ynor was dressed like ‘The Doll’ from ‘Bloodborne.’ The next moment, Ynor was dressed like the Daughter of the White Wolf[1] from ‘Witcher 3.’

This time around, the makeup and dress-up session lasted for a long time. Tylene and Ynor seemed to be addicted to this… After all, no girl would be able to resist a room full of beautiful clothes.

“This is an unbelievable sight.”

Deceiver Pluk has been standing behind Joshua the entire time. As the male lead for ‘Léon: The Demon,’ he was personally invited to participate in the movie premiere by Madam Schroder. Coming together with him were four gray-cat beastmen and half-dragons.

“The scene of an elf overpowering and stripping a demon on the ground was indeed difficult to imagine.”

Joshua took another sip of his black tea to calm his mind. When he thought of how different the frost elf was when she was with the Black Swan Theatrical Troupe from how she was after coming to the Hearthstone Tavern, Joshua felt like what he purchased was not the same as the seller’s photos.

Fortunately, Tylene’s singing talent did not disappear with her personality change.

“Milord, what I’m talking about is an elf and a demon becoming… friends.”

The elves were known for their arrogance and pride. Because of that, they’ve always rejected other races. Comparatively, they were more friendly toward the dwarfs and humans. When confronted with demons, the elves would generally be on very high alert.

“In the future, it might not only be elves and demons becoming friends. If there are truly angels in this world, I reckon even the angels could become friends with the demons.”

A pure-white window appeared before Joshua. A headline was present on the upper left corner — Mage Forum.

During the two weeks, Joshua had utilized the ‘window’ program he wrote using the runes from the order system to compile a truly meaningful first sequence. It was also his first website.

The Mage Forum. Once the Mage Forum opens to the public and spreads throughout the world, once the internet comes to be, people will not have to be concerned with the social status or race of the people they’re speaking to online.

But, in order to be able to spread the internet and the Mage Forum, Joshua first needs to germinate the frost elf’s World Tree. That being said, based on how things has been progressing so far, it seemed like the World Tree seed would soon germinate.

………

The movie premiere was surprisingly concise. The nobles that came only interacted with one another at the party for a short while when Madam Schroder announced the start of the screening.

Because of that, the nobles had no choice but to put down their wine cups and walk toward the performance hall of the Farucci’s Mansion.

Kaos was one of the nobles proceeding to the performance hall. As a prince of the Nation of Steel, he would always receive the affection from some young noble ladies whenever he participated in this sort of noble social gathering.

But, this time around, Kaos had no heart to bother striking up a conversation with the girls.

He felt that Madam Schroder might invite the actress for ‘Beauty and the Demon,’ Belle, to show up in the premiere for ‘Léon: The Demon.’

Unfortunately, he didn’t see Belle at the party at all. This made the young prince rather disappointed. But, he had already made inquiries and learned that Belle was studying in Lursk’s Magic School’s elementary magic department.

Following General Fred, Kaos entered the performance hall located deeper inside the mansion. The performance hall wasn’t large. Compared to the Weissenasche Theater that could constrain over a thousand people, the performance hall was quite small. But, it was adorned with all sorts of luxurious decorations.

Only sixty plus guests came to participate in the premiere. Even adding the members of the Black Swan Theatrical Troupe, the total number of people was still less than two hundred. Because of that, the performance hall was not crowded.

Kaos sat down on the last row. General Fred sat down beside him. Their seats were decided by General Fred.

The stubborn old man was not planning to waste his time on a movie. Because of that, he immediately closed his eyes to rest himself after sitting down. He was planning to endure the movie using that method.

In a considerate manner, the performance hall’s lights turned off. Only the white backdrop on the stage was projecting the scenes of the movie.

When the title for ‘Léon: The Demon’ appeared on the backdrop, the audience immediately ceased talking and the performance hall grew much quieter.
