大丈夫、私はこの服が好き。上着も脱げるし

I touch the fabric. It's soft and extremely breathable, and it goes together very well with the T-shirt worn inside.
[player]I've decided. I'll get this one. It'll be easy to move around in.
[Noah](Text message) Choose whatever you want. You're lucky it isn't that hot today.
After taking some time to change, we drive to Countless Springs.
After we arrive at Countless Springs, a staff member politely guides us to the VIP guest rooms.
[Staff]Please wait here while we complete the preparations.
[Staff]Also, as this afternoon tea is only for one guest, you two can discuss who will be going.
Noah pats my shoulder after the staff member leaves.
[Noah](Text message) You go by yourself. I'll wait for you outside.
[player]Is that okay? Should we discuss this with the staff again?
[Noah](Text message)No. I can grind this in-game event while I'm here. A turn-based game is launching its open beta today. I want to be ranked at the top of the rankings.
I want to complain that she can achieve that by simply spending money in the game. But then I thought of a possible reason for her. There are usually various options such as a basic battle pass, a premium battle pass, server launch packs, and double rewards for the first top-up... It might be necessary to be in an environment where no one will interrupt you to calculate the most effective spending plan before buying everything.
It looks like I'll be responsible for communicating with others.
The staff returns soon. I follow him out of the VIP room, and we arrive at a garden after we pass through the hall where the auction was held yesterday.
The staff returns soon. I follow him out of the VIP room. We pass by an artificial lake filled with lotus flowers after we go through the hall where the auction was held yesterday. In the end, we arrive at the entrance of a three-story building by the lake, and a staff member takes me to the top floor.
[Staff]Miss Toujou is waiting for you inside. I'll be off now. May you have a pleasant afternoon.
I observe the situation from the entrance after he leaves. The entrance is an arch without doors, so I can see directly inside.
Not far from the window is a screen painted with birds singing in a bamboo forest. The figure moving behind it appears to belong to a woman. This person should be Kurone Toujou.
While I think about what to say, a voice travels over from behind the screen.
[Kurone Toujou]Good afternoon. It's so nice to meet you. I'm Kurone Toujou, the manager of Countless Springs.
[player]Hi, I'm PLAYER.
[Kurone Toujou]This is the highest place in Countless Springs, and it offers a panoramic view of the lake and water.
[Kurone Toujou]At the same time, it's also very cool here because of the terrain. It's a nice place to cool down in this season. I hope you don't mind that I arranged to have our afternoon tea here instead.
Kurone Toujou's voice is soft and pleasant, like the singing of an oriole, and it feels difficult to say no to any request she may make. However, the estranged tone in her voice makes me feel like she is a snow lotus in the distant mountains.
[player]That's alright. The scenery is really beautiful here. I love it.
[Kurone Toujou]I feel so relieved. Here are your refreshments and seat. I hope these are also to your liking.
On a round wooden table facing the screen are several plates of exquisite and delicious snacks and some tea, which must be the refreshments and seating arrangements she mentioned. I walk up and sit down on a chair beside the stone table and think about what we should chat about later.
To my surprise, I hear a soft cry from behind the screen just before a white fluffy ball rushes to the table in front of me and sticks out a pink tongue to lick the tea in my teacup.
When it looks up at me, I realize that it's a snow-white fox that looks very young. I look at the weather outside and the creature in front of me, and feel a little surprised.
This should be the season in which silver foxes molt, so I can't believe it looks so... snowy white and cute. If it isn't a miracle, then they must have some special way of taking care of it. Of course, it's possible that some animals don't need to molt here in One Han City.
Kurone Toujou apologizes to me while calling the name of the little fox softly and waiting for it to return behind the screen. That's how I learned that this little fox is called "Snowy Dumpling," which is very appropriate for it.
But Snowy Dumpling has a mind of its own. It picks up a pastry from in front of me and runs away along the window sill on the third floor.
[Kurone Toujou]Um... I'm sorry, can you let me deal with something first?
[player]What's wrong?
[Kurone Toujou]It hasn't been long since Snowy Dumpling has been weaned off milk. I shouldn't have brought it with me, but it doesn't want to leave my side today, so there's nothing I can do about it...
[Kurone Toujou]It's run off by itself, and it might be in danger if I don't find it in time. After all, there are many guests here at Countless Springs, and there are also several guard dogs in the courtyard.
Kurone Toujou speaks anxiously and keeps apologizing for the bad experience after speaking. In this sudden situation...
