章節 71: My Dress-Up Darling

Earth Land, Ishgar, Kingdom of Fiore, Hargeon.

July, x780

Seeing the new customer walking around the shop and checking out all the available articles of clothing, Alfonzo and Elicia remained in a stupor. From the moment they regained their memories of their past lives, they had only seen people from the anime/manga of Fairy Tail. Today, however, flipped that notion on its head.

The customer in question was a beautiful girl around the same age as Alfonzo and Elicia standing around 5'5" (1.64 m) tall with waist length, straight blonde hair that transitioned into dark pink tips, bangs that covered most of her forehead and right eyebrow, leaving only her left eyebrow and a small amount of her forehead on the left side exposed, as well as two long bangs that framed her face and fell over her shoulders, stopping at her chest. She had dark-pink eyes, fair skin, a contagious smile on her face, and a very slim waist.

"I guess we're in an AU..." Alfonzo muttered as his eyes never left the girl.

"Yeah..." Elicia muttered in response. A moment later, her eyes lit up and she hopped off Alfonzo's lap. "But This is awesome."

"On top of that, it looks like she's got magic power." Alfonzo said, finally examining the girl seriously. "And she's got quite a bit from what I can tell."

"I know, right?" Elicia said, watching the girl attentively as well. "And if I were to venture a guess, she hasn't realized it. I mean, look at the way she carries herself."

"Yeah, I've never seen a wizard who's so unaware of their surroundings." Alfonzo said in agreement. "You're gonna go talk to her, aren't you?"

"Of course." Elicia said with a smile. "She'll be My Dress-Up Darling."

"Ugh..." Alfonzo groaned as he covered his face with his hands. "I really should have seen that coming."

To Alfonzo's surprise, Elicia did not go to the customer in question and strike up a conversation immediately. Instead, she watched her look around and try on the occasional article of clothing. In the end, Elicia made her move just as the girl was about to leave without buying anything.

"Excuse me." Elicia said, walking toward the front door of her shop. "Were the clothes not to your liking?"

Surprised by the voice, the girl jumped. Then, she slowly turned around. When she did, she saw Elicia smiling at her cheerfully.

"Oh, no! Not at all." The blonde girl said while waving her hands around in a fluster. "No, that's not what I meant... I mean, the clothes were great! They're just not what I was looking for today."

"*Sigh* That's a relief Elicia said in a genuinely relieved tone. "I really thought you might not have liked my clothes."

"Your clothes?" The girl asked, clearly a little confused.

"Yeah, I designed all these clothes." Elicia said proudly.

"Really?" The girl exclaimed excitedly. "OMG that's so awesome! There are so many uber-cute clothes in here!"

"Well, I'm glad you like them." Elicia replied with a smile. "But would you mind if I asked what you were looking for exactly? I mean, I do custom orders, too."

"Really?" The girl asked, excitement shining in her eyes.

Then, the girl reached into the purse that she wore over her shoulder. After rummaging around for a few seconds, she pulled out a book and showed the cover to Elicia. On the book's cover was a dark-haired girl wearing the uniform to a seemingly aristocratic academy.

"I'm looking for this!" The girl squealed excitedly.

Instead of looking at the girl depicted on the cover of the book, Elicia was more drawn to the title.

'Saint Slippery's Academy for Girls 2, huh?' Elicia thought to herself. 'So, instead of an erotic game, it's an erotic novel in this world.'

"So, you wanna dress like her?" Elicia asked while pointing at the girl on the cover.

"No." The girls said while shaking her head. Then, with her eyes shining even brighter than before, she continued. "I want to be her!"

As the girl spoke, both her hair and eye color began to change, resembling the girl on the cover for a moment. However, just as fast as they changed, they changed back. While most people in the store did not seem to even notice, Alfonzo and Elicia, who had been focused on the girl ever since she entered the store, were surprised to see those changes.

'It looks like she didn't even realize she did that.' Both Alfonzo and Elicia thought at the same time.

"So, you want to do some cosplay, huh?" Elicia asked while tilting her head to the side.

"Cosplay?" The girl asked with some confusion in her tone. However, her eyes lit up once again after thinking about it for a bit. "I've never heard that word before, but I like how it sounds."

In response, Elicia simply giggled.

"It's the combination of the words costume and play." Elicia explained. "Basically, it's when people dress up as their favorite characters from stories."

"Yes, that's exactly what I want!" The girl exclaimed, holding the book against her chest. "It would be super-duper cool to be Shizuku-Tan!"

"Well, I could definitely make that outfit." Elicia said after watching the girl gush for a few minutes. "But I'd need to be able to see the entire outfit."

Immediately, the girl's enthusiasm died down. Even though her favorite character from the novel, Shizuku Kuroe, was featured on the books cover, there were no pictures of her from other angles.

"Then, you won't be able to make it, huh?" The girl asked in a downtrodden tone.

In response, Elicia raised her right hand and began tapping its index finger against her cheek as she thought about it.

"Well, is there an in-depth explanation of what the uniform looks like in the book?" Elicia asked with a contemplative expression.

Once again, the girl's eyes lit up. Then, she started turning the books pages at high speed. Eventually, when she reached the page she was looking for, she turned the book around and held it out for Elicia to see.

"There is!" The girl shouted. "They were really detailed in the explanation. It's one of the reasons I fell in love with Shizuku-Tan. I could imagine exactly how cute she would be wearing it!"

By this point, all the girl's loud exclamations had drawn the attention of the other shoppers and the shop attendants. Although the girl did not notice as she was so enthralled by the conversation, it did not escape Elicia's notice, causing her to smile wryly.

Waving at the shop attendants, Elicia signaled them to not mind her. Then, she smiled at the girl once again.

"Well, I guess I should go buy a copy of that---" Elicia began to say.

Before she could finish, however, the girl had pushed the book against Elicia's chest,.

"It's okay, you can have mine!" The girl said excitedly. "I have, like, three copies back at home."

"Uh… Okay…" Elicia said, a little awkwardly.

"Everyone should experience Slippery Girls!" The girl said with a smile on her face.

'That sounds like a motto I could get behind.' Alfonzo thought with a grin on his face.

"In fact, I've got a copy of the first one with me, too." The girl continued, completely unaware of Alfonzo's internal retort as she reached into her purse once again.

A moment later, she pulled her hand out of her purse and thrust another book into Elicia's hands.

"You should read them" The girl said with her eyes sparkling. "Trust me, you won't regret it."

"Sure." Elicia replied with a smile. "At the very least, it will help me make the very best outfit I can."

"Hell yeah!" The girl shouted once again. "I'm gonna be Shizuku-Tan."

Once again, without the girl's notice, her hair and eye color flickered between her normal color and the colors of Shizuku's before quickly returning to their original colors.

"Anyway, it will probably take me a week to read the books and a day or so to make the outfit." Elicia said, making the girl even more excited. "The only problem is… I live in Magnolia. So, I would have to find the time to come back to Hargeon. I am a wizard too, after all."

"Oh, you don't have to worry about that." The girl replied nonchalantly. "I can come to Magnolia to pick up the clothes."

"Won't your family be worried, though?" Elicia asked.

"Nah, my dad Is often in other countries on business." The girl replied. "So, I'm usually left to do whatever I want. As long as I don't cause trouble, that is."

"If you say so." Elicia replied. "Well, then, if it's no trouble, you should come to Magnolia to pick up the outfit in nine or ten days."

"Sweet! Oh, wait…" The girl exclaimed before it seemed as if the wind was taken out of her sails. "I'll probably be able to afford the outfit and a train ticket, but I don't know about a hotel."

"Well…" Elicia said as she glanced back at Alfonzo.

Alfonzo, who had been sitting behind the counter since the beginning, had heard the whole conversation between Elicia and the girl. And when he saw Elicia look back, he simply shrugged his shoulders and nodded at Elicia with a smile.

"If you're okay with it." Elicia continued after getting a nod from Alfonzo. "My boyfriend and I live in a pretty big house. We have a bunch of guest rooms, too. There's even another girl, a member of our guild and… well… my boyfriend's other girlfriend… living there too."

'That sounds so awkward when I say it out loud.' Elicia thought to herself without losing her smile.

Hearing that Elicia's boyfriend, Alfonzo, had another girlfriend, the girl opened her eyes wide in surprise. Then, she remembered that Elicia had glanced behind her before she started talking about her house. Guessing that she was asking her boyfriend if it was okay to invite her to their house, the girl decided to look past Elicia and see who she was asking permission from.

'Holy hell! He's hot!' The girl exclaimed internally. 'I've never seen a hair style like that before, but it looks good on him. Wait, she said he has another girlfriend, that means…'

"He's like one of those harem protagonists in the novels." The girl muttered unintentionally.

The girl only realized that she had spoken out loud when she saw the wry smile on Elicia's face.

"OMG I'm sorry." The girl said while bowing her head frantically. "I didn't mean to say that out loud. But I read a story like that not too long ago."

"Don't worry about it." Elicia said with a giggle after seeing the girl's exaggerated reaction. "It's been like this for more than half a year, so we've heard it all by now."

"*Sigh* I see." The girl said with a sigh of relief.

"Anyway, like I was saying… You could stay a night at our house if you're okay with it." Elicia said, getting back on track.

"If you'd be willing to have me, it would probably be fun." The girl replied.

"Good." Elicia said with a smile and a nod. "Oh, I completely forgot, I'm Elicia Taylor, the owner of The Taylor Shop and an A-Class wizard of Fairy Tail."

"It's nice to meet ya." The girl replied with a smile of her own. "I'm Marin Kitagawa, a normal girl who works a part-time job."

'Normal girl my ass.' Alfonzo thought to himself as he listened to the girls introduce themselves. 'Normal girls don't have magic power reserves on par with B-Class wizards without training. If we can get her to join the guild and train her to use all that magic power, she could be a real force to be reckoned with.'

"Alright, now that we've got the introductions out of the way, we should get your measurements." Elicia said with a smile. "You have no idea how much I'm looking forward to this, I love making clothes more than anything… well… almost anything in the world."

As Elicia amended her statement, she looked back at Alfonzo with a sweet smile on her face. And seeing Elicia's smile, Alfonzo wore a loving smile of his own.

'Aww… They're like super-duper cute together.' Marin thought to herself. '*Sigh* Having a super-hot, loving boyfriend must be nice. I'm kinda jelly.'

Shaking off that thought, Marin's excitement for finally getting to be Shizuku-Tan overwhelmed the slight jealousy she felt for Alfonzo and Elicia's relationship. Then, she cheerfully followed Elicia to the back of the store.

章節 72: Coming to Magnolia

Earth Land, Ishgar, Kingdom of Fiore, Magnolia.

August, x780.

Today, the date Elicia and Marin discussed as the pickup date for her costume, was not the most ideal date for meeting up with someone. The skies were overcast, the wind was blowing fiercely, and a few drops of rain fell every now and then. Even so, Marin's excitement could not be extinguished.

Disembarking from the most recent train to arrive from Hargeon, Marin made her way through the town, not even stopping to take in the sites. Instead, after asking one of the passersby for directions to the address she was given, she walked non-stop toward her destination.

"I'm gonna be Shizuku-Tan!" Marin mumbled to herself as she speed-walked through the streets of Magnolia.

Unfortunately, before she made it halfway to her destination, the clouds could no longer hold the rain that had been gathering in the sky. Then, as if it all fell at once, a down pour started.

"Seriously?" Marin shouted in panic as she started running.

Realizing that she would be soaked to the bone if she continued, she ducked under the eaves of a nearby shop.

"This sucks." Marin complained, pulling a small towel out of her purse. Then, while she wiped her face and hair, she continued. "I hope this down pour doesn't last long. I really don't wanna wait to be Shizuku-Tan."

Unfortunately, it did not seem like the rain would be letting up any time soon. So, standing under the shop's eaves, Marin found her mood plummeting as time went by.

"Hey!" An unfamiliar male voice rang out from the road, prompting Marin to look in its direction. "You're the girl from Lici's shop, right?"

After peering through the current of rain, Marin saw a fancy magic vehicle had stopped in front of the shop she was using to hide from the rain. Looking closer, she recognized the person in the magic vehicle's driver's seat.

"Oh, you're that super-hot, harem protagonist!" Marin shouted excitedly before clapping her hands over her mouth. Then, she smiled sheepishly while correcting herself. "I mean, you're Elicia's boyfriend."

Smiling wryly in response, Alfonzo could only shake his head at Marin's first statement.

"You're supposed to meet with Lici today, right?" Alfonzo asked, maintaining his wry smile. "Hop in, we're headed the same way, anyway."

Without a word or any hesitation, Marin sprinted into the rain and around Alfonzo's Vanquish. Then, she pulled the passenger side door open, plopped down in the seat, pulled the door closed, and put on her seatbelt.

"*Sigh* You're a life saver." Marin said in a relieved tone. "I had no idea how long this rain was gonna last. If it didn't stop soon, I would have just ran all the way there."

"Then, it's a good thing I finished my last quest when I did." Alfonzo said with a smile. "You still had at least a mile (1.6 km) to go."

"Seriously?" Marin asked in shock. "I would have been soaked down to my underwear by the time I got there."

Though he didn't show it outwardly, Alfonzo briefly imagine Marin's figure in soaking wet clothes that stuck to her curves while her bra and panties were visible through them. Then, he shook his head to rid himself of those thoughts.

"Anyway, we'll have to stop past the guild hall for a few minutes before we go to my house." Alfonzo said. "I have to report about my quest. Then, I'll take you to see Lici."

"Okay." Marin replied with an energetic nod. "I'm one step closer to being Shizuku-Tan."

Hearing Marin's enthusiasm, Alfonzo could not help but smile.

'Everyone has a passion in life.' Alfonzo thought to himself as he drove through the rain with Marin's excited mumbles acting as the background music. 'It's really just a matter of finding it. I guess me and Lici were lucky. And meeting Lici makes this girl lucky, too.'

"Oh, by the way, I'm Alfonzo… Alfonzo Marcus." Alfonzo said, realizing that he had yet to formally introduce himself. "I'm Lici's boyfriend and one of Fairy Tail's S-Class wizards."

"I'm Marin Kitagawa." Marin introduced herself as well. "It's nice to meet ya."

With introductions out of the way, Alfonzo and Marin chatted happily during the short ride to the guild hall. Then, when they arrived, Alfonzo got out of the car, creating a metal parasol as he did, and made his way inside.

As soon as Alfonzo was no longer visible, Marin's face reddened.

"Wow! He's even hotter up close.' Marin thought to herself. 'To bad he's a playboy… Wait, is he really a playboy if his girlfriends know about each other? Now that's food for thought. Eh, whatever. But this magic vehicle is really nice. I wonder how much it costs. Not that it matters, I wouldn't be able to drive one, anyway."

Just as Alfonzo and Elicia thought, Marin was completely unaware of the large amount of magic power she held. Which is understandable, she had never come in contact with any wizards in her fifteen years of life. Nor had anyone pointed out to her how her distinguishing features change when she gets excited.

After a few more minutes, Alfonzo and another girl, Cana, walked out of the guild hall under Alfonzo's metal parasol. A moment later, Alfonzo opened the driver's side door to the vehicle. Then, he leaned down and moved the seat forward while leaning it down.

"You should probably sit the long way, Cana." Alfonzo said.

"Ugh… I wish you were driving the Escalade." Cana grumbled as she climbed into the back seat. "There's no space back here."

"I know…" Alfonzo said as he readjusted his seat. "But I wasn't expecting to pick up anyone on my way home. Anyway, I'll introduce the two of you. Cana, this is Marin, Lici's client. Marin, this is Cana, my other girlfriend."

"Oh, you're the girl who gave Lici those smutty books, huh?" Cana asked while examining Marin the best she could from the backseat.

"Although those books are a little risqué, I wouldn't call them smutty." Marin replied with a blush.

"So, hardcore bondage and humiliation play isn't smutty?" Cana replied with another question. "I wonder what the world you live in looks like."

At that moment, Alfonzo pulled away from the guild hall. While Marin's blush grew in intensity, Alfonzo could not help but chuckle while driving, causing Marin's blush to deepen even further. After a moment, Cana joined Alfonzo in chuckling. After a few more moments, even Marin joined them.

"So, how much longer 'til we get to your house?" Marin asked, feeling a lot more relaxed after the laughter.

"We'll be there in a couple minutes." Alfonzo replied with a smile on his face.

"Fonzie, how did the quest go." Cana asked from the back seat.

'They call him Fonzie, huh?' Marin thought to herself as she waited for Alfonzo's answer with curiosity. 'That's kinda cute.'

"Just as smooth as usual." Alfonzo replied with pride in his tone.

"*Sigh* I can't wait 'til I'm S-Class, too." Cana replied. "Then, I could go on those quests with you, too."

"You'll have some pretty stiff competition to get there." Alfonzo said with a smile. "You'll probably be eligible for the exam this year. But so will Lici, Erza, and Ultear. Can't forget about Laxus' friends either. And that other guy... Mest... he'll still be eligible, too."

"I know, you don't have to remind me that I've got an uphill challenge." Cana grumbled.

Meanwhile, Marin listened with rapt attention. She did not know much about wizards and their guilds. So, the new information was quite interesting. Unfortunately, the conversation came to a end when a large mansion surrounded by a wall was finally visible through the rain.

"Holy crap! Is that your house?" Marin asked with her eyes wide open.

"Yup, had it built almost three years ago." Alfonzo said with a happy smile. "Lici and I saved up money for it ever since we started taking quests."

"Wow... And I thought the apartment that me and my dad lived in was nice." Marin said, trying to see the mansion clearly through the pouring rain.

"If you think it's nice from the front, wait 'til you see the inside and the backyard." Cana said, puffing out her chest as if she had anything to do with obtaining the house."

In response, Alfonzo's smile widened. Meanwhile, Marin's eyes started shining even brighter with interest. Then, Alfonzo used the remote control in his Vanquish to open the front gate and the garage before using the same device to close them after he had entered. A few moments later, Alfonzo, Cana, and Marin were standing in the garage having just exited the vehicle.

"Ugh... I'm still soaked." Marin said with her clothes still sticking to her.

"Well, all the guest rooms have a bathroom, so feel free to take a shower and get warmed up before you try on your new outfit." Alfonzo said casually.

With the mention of her new outfit, Marin's eyes lit up once again. Then, she nodded energetically. Before she could reply, however, the sound of footsteps interrupted the conversation.

*Bang!*

"Fonzie! You're back!" Elicia said after swinging the door leading from the garage to the house open with more force than necessary. "I missed you!"

A moment later, Elicia flung herself at Alfonzo and wrapped her arms and legs around him before kissing him deeply.

While Cana only rolled her eyes at the usual scene, Marin watched with her eyes wide open while a light blush dusted her cheeks.

'Wow... Elicia is so bold.' Marin thought to herself before glancing at Cana. 'And Alfonzo must be doing something right. The other girl, Cana, doesn't even look jealous. Like, at all.'

After kissing Alfonzo for a few seconds, Elicia released him. Then, she turned to Cana and hugged her as well. Though, not quite as passionately.

"You too. Welcome home, Cana." Elicia said energetically.

"Thanks, Lici." Cana said with a wry smile on her face. "It's good to see you, too."

"Although the welcome home is nice, you didn't even greet our guest." Alfonzo said, wearing a wry smile much like Cana's.

"Huh?" Elicia said, finally noticing that there was a third person in the garage. "Oh! Marin! You made it!"

Elicia then immediately rushed to hug Marin like she had with Cana. However, before she could, Alfonzo grabbed her by the back of her collar and lifted her like a naughty kitten.

"Hey, Fonzie, put me down." Elicia said, struggling to free herself without success.

"*Sigh* You're too excited, Lici." Alfonzo replied in a tired tone. "Why don't you take a closer look at her."

Though she still struggled to free herself, Elicia followed Alfonzo's instructions. Then, when she saw that Marin was soaked, with her clothes clinging to her body, she gasped.

"Fonzie, put me down.!" Elicia exclaimed. "We don't have time for this. She needs a bath before she catches a cold."

Seeing that Elicia was now aware of Marin's current state, Alfonzo put her back on the floor. Then, Elicia rushed forward and grabbed Marin by the hand.

"Come with me, I'll take you to the bathroom." Elicia said while dragging Marin into the house.

Completely forgotten, Alfonzo and Cana watched Elicia disappear into the house with Marin in tow. Then, they turned and made eye contact with each other before shrugging simultaneously.

"She's even more energetic than usual." Cana said, making her way into the house. "And that's saying something."

"Yeah, " Alfonzo replied with a nod. "I guess the thrill of making something new is what did it."

But she makes new stuff all the time." Cana replied while tilting her head as she turned into the kitchen.

Before replying, Alfonzo watched Cana walk over to the magic refrigerator and take out a large bottle of ale. Then, she popped the top on the bottle and started chugging it.

"*Sigh* That's the good stuff." Cana said with a satisfied smile on her face. A moment later, she saw that Alfonzo was staring at her blankly. Then, she held the bottle toward Alfonzo as she continued. "What? You want some too?"

Then, she smiled seductively as she walked toward Alfonzo.

"I could even help you drink it." Cana said as she closed in on Alfonzo. "I heard it tastes even better mouth to mouth."

"As much as I'd like to see if that's true or not." Alfonzo said, sweeping Cana off her feet and carrying her in a princess carry as he spoke. "I'm really tired, and I'd like to relax."

"Tch! Fine." Cana said after clicking her tongue while making herself comfortable in Alfonzo's arms. "You're off the hook for now. But only because you just got back from an S-Class quest."

With that, Alfonzo carried Cana through the house until he reached the living room. When he and Cana entered the room, they saw Erza sitting on the couch while reading a book. With her nose buried in the book and deep concentration in her eyes, Erza occasionally rubbed her thighs together.

'Saint Slippery's Academy for Girls...' Alfonzo muttered internally. '*Sigh* I guess this is where her addiction to smutty romance novels will start in this timeline.'
