Chapter 137 Daily Life: Seele's Wedding Dress (Part 2)
"What is it?"
Kirataka asked back politely.
"That is...um, can I please ask this lady next to you for a favor?"
The female employee said cautiously.
While speaking, she couldn't help but look back and forth between Kirataka and Seele.
Perhaps because of the bonus of Honkai energy, the Valkyries are all very good-looking, and he himself is also considered to be one of the more handsome ones, someone who can attract a certain amount of attention in the crowd.
Kirataka looked up at the advertisement on the bridal shop, then glanced at the female employee in front of him, and figured out what she was thinking:
Perhaps they were attracted by Seele's beauty and temperament and wanted to invite her to take wedding photos. This is not uncommon in modern society.
Sure enough, the other party immediately explained:
"It's like this. Our store is holding an event soon and we can take a full set of wedding photos for free, as long as this lady agrees to use the finished photos for commercial promotion."
Wedding photos...
To put it simply, they just wanted to find Seele to be a model.
Although the age doesn't seem to be appropriate—after all, she is still a minor, but it's not a real marriage, so it probably doesn't matter.
Well, he actually didn't have any objection. After all, it wasn't him who wanted to take the photo, but Seele. It still depended on what the girl next to him thought.
So, he turned to look at Seele beside him and asked softly:
"What do you think, Seele?"
The girl didn't know what she was thinking, and her pretty face was tinged with a little rosy color. After hearing Kirataka's question, she answered in a low voice:
"Yes... yes, if Brother Kirataka is not in a hurry to go back..."
Her facial expressions are quite simple and easy to understand. Like Kiana, she is so innocent that one can read her thoughts from her facial expressions.
Looking at her pitiful appearance, it was obvious that she really wanted to participate in this photography activity.
Kirataka glanced at the time on his watch. They had set out from Saint Freya quite early, and now they were on their way back, and it was still some time before noon.
So, there is still plenty of time.
If they don't have to wait too long, then just agree to it. After all, Seele looked like she was eager to try it.
So Kirataka asked the female employee in front of him:
"When? How long will it take?"
"If this lady is willing... now!"
Seeing that the other party seemed to have no intention of refusing, the female employee smiled happily and then led the two of them into the bridal shop.
............
The decoration and furnishings inside the bridal shop are undoubtedly full of a romantic atmosphere. The pure white decoration style and duplex floors, with rows of pure white wedding dresses of different styles displayed on both sides, are enough to arouse the infinite yearning of young girls.
Under the guidance of the female employee, Kirataka temporarily placed the purchased ingredients on the sofa in the hall.
"May I ask your names, both of you?"
"Seele... Seele Vollerei."
"Kirataka."
Judging from the name, they don't look like people from the Far East.
The female employee had a hint of doubt in her heart and said with a smile:
"Kirataka-kun, Miss Seele, please sit here for a while. I'll go talk to the store manager and I'll be back soon!"
After she said this, she quickly ran to the back of the bridal shop, leaving Kirataka and Seele waiting in the hall.
Kirataka-kun, um, a very Japanese name... It was the first time he heard someone call him that. After all, although St. Freya Academy is located in the Far East, there are not many real locals, and most of the students come from all over the world.
Bronya is from Russia, Seele is from Estonia, Fu Hua is from Shenzhou, and as for Kiana... uh, she should be considered a German + Russian hybrid, right?
In short, Mei is the only Far Eastern person he often hangs out with, but she doesn't use such Japanese terms to refer to herself or others. Maybe she has been assimilated by him and them.
The girl next to him was still looking at the wedding dresses in the window with sparkling eyes. With nothing to do, Kirataka also began to admire these gorgeous clothes as works of art.
Although the styles are different, most of them are white suspenders hung on black hangers, and the snow-white gauze droops and falls on the white floor paper, like a dream.
He wasn't a girl, but he could probably imagine young girls dreaming of wearing them.
Unfortunately, this is not an everyday world, but an environment where you may encounter danger at any time. However, it is quite interesting to experience such things occasionally.
After a short wait, the manager of the bridal shop came to the hall along with the female employees.
She was a very elegant middle-aged woman. The moment she saw Seele, her eyes lit up. She quickly came to them and said politely:
"Hello, both of you. If possible, can Miss Seele give herself to us next?"
In the corner of the wall behind her, five or six female employees in uniform also poked their heads out one after another. It seemed that their professional team was ready to go.
"Okay… Okay."
Seele nodded weakly, pinching the hem of her clothes with both hands, seeming a little nervous.
So, just like that, the lovely girl parted ways with her temporarily and was taken to get her makeup done, surrounded by a group of female employees.
Kirataka, who had nothing to do, simply followed the manager through the back door of the bridal shop to a small garden at the back.
——This is probably an area built specifically for wedding location shooting. Roses and roses can be seen everywhere, shining softly under the sunlight.
It's a nice little world, with a feeling of paradise.
Soon, the girl, who had been dressed up, came into the garden surrounded by the crowd.
With shiny blue-black hair, fair and delicate skin, exquisite and lovely facial features, and that rosy and attractive cherry mouth, people can't help but want to taste the fragrance.
The girl's eyelashes are very long and curled, trembling slightly, making her look very adorable, like a well-behaved butterfly resting on her wings.
The front hem of the wedding dress reaches the knees, revealing a pair of slender legs, while a large part of the back drags on the grass, which has a unique flavor.
The neckline of the skirt is designed to be quite low, allowing the snow-white neck to be clearly seen.
With a proud figure that is absolutely inconsistent with her age and the way she is dressed, if you tell someone out there that she is a 15-year-old girl, probably no one would believe it.
Just like an ugly duckling transformed into a swan—no, Seele was originally very cute, but she was not so good at dressing up. After being carefully decorated, she became even more beautiful.
In short, it's very cute!
Seeing Kirataka staring at her intently, Seele's cheeks turned rosy and she lowered her head shyly.
For the next period of time, Seele was seen standing alone among the flowers at the request of everyone, holding a bouquet of flowers in her hands, and posing in various postures according to their requests.
Kirataka basically knows nothing about photography techniques, methods, angles, and scene selection, but no matter from which angle you look at it, Seele, who is being photographed, looks very beautiful.
Time passed by little by little. Kirataka waited for a long time and finally saw the proprietress coming over with a camera.
As she walked, she looked down at the screen of the camera in her hand and seemed to be quite satisfied with the shooting results.
Is it over...?
He looked at Seele who was a little further away. She, wearing her wedding dress, did not seem to have been invited to leave. Instead, she seemed to be waiting for something.
Soon, the proprietress came to Kirataka with a camera and asked with a smile:
"Ms. Seele's solo photography has been completed. Can you trouble Kirataka-kun next?"
"…Huh? me too?"
Kirataka asked in surprise.
The proprietress quickly explained:
"Originally, I was only planning to take a series of photos of one person... but Miss Seele is so beautiful, and this is a rare opportunity... I thought about taking a full set. You see, wouldn't it look rather monotonous if there were only the woman in a set of wedding photos? We just asked Miss Seele for her opinion, and she agreed to take photos of both of us."
The woman has agreed, and they can't find a male companion on the spot.
Kirataka, as the man who came with her, naturally became their target.
