(She smiled. There was something wicked there.)
That's my girl. Close your
eyes for me, my darling?

(Erika sorted through her
items, retrieving a small case.)

I will always be surprised by a great many things. But I don't think I should ever be surprised by the egos and insecurities of men.

It suits you. Majestic.

You are, aren't you? 𝑀𝑖𝑛𝑒?
And it is such a shame I
can't keep my 𝑔𝑜𝑜𝑑 𝑔𝑖𝑟𝑙
beside me at all times.

When I'm not there, how
many silly boys and girls
see my sea angel and not
know who 𝑜𝑤𝑛𝑠 her heart?

(Erika grinned.)

Now that's my girl.

Erika didn't get her full eight
hours and a nap today. But
it's totally not obvious, right?

"Hm? A challenge? Oh, I guess
we can do that, sure..."

(yaaaaaaaaaaaaaawn~!)

I thought I could change things up
and enjoy a nice Swimsuit Sunday,
but I may have outgrown this old
bikini. Er, a little help would be nice...

I do not know when everyone
got so dramatic. We dress and
undress every day.

There just seems to be a greater
emphasis on the 𝒖𝒏𝒅𝒓𝒆𝒔𝒔𝒊𝒏𝒈 today.

Some folks seemed to really
enjoy a glimpse at my more
contemporary wardrobe choices.

Perhaps a cheeky peek at a
casual outfit I tend to break out
in the garden with my closest
girls on beautiful days like this.

Kasumi, you angel.
(Erika softly touched
Misty's cheek.) You
know just how to
make me feel like the
most beautiful woman
in Kanto...

"Such is the burden of having a family name to live up to," she admitted. Casual was typically reserved for her attendants and girlfriends.

"But your compliment is appreciated, regardless." She bowed her head slightly as a sign of polite appreciation.

Erika bowed her head. "You are too kind. I have been feeling rather... blossom-y as the weather continues to improve. And what better way to enjoy the sun than a lack of sleeves?"

Erika chuckled. "It is more modern look, for certain. But I am not sure I would call it casual wear. It is a lucky few who get to see me truly 'casual.'"

Hm? Shall I take it that
the dress suits me? Or
are you just startled to
see me so "modern?"

I know it is not my usual fare, but I do own more than kimonos and traditional garb. I live in a city with one of the best department stores in Japan, after all.

"Bill, you need better locks and better keys."

...I mean, I think you understood my position perfectly here. Besides, I eventually handle the challengers when I am ready. The girls just keep them occupied until then.

Besides, as an heiress to my family's company, I have plenty on my plate. Heavens forbid I earn myself a midday rest.

"When I make Challengers
wait, it is a lesson in patience.
When you make them wait, it
is a demonstration of ego. We
are not the same."

"How am I expected to
get things done on a
beautiful day when the
sun peaks through the
leaves just so? It is a
perfect day for a nap..."

I just spoiled it replying to you, but you're so easy to talk to, and we click so much that I just want to keep throwing characters at you. It helps that you're a fantastic RPer.

Oh no. That's awful.

Did Bill do Bill things again?
I see a suspicious number
of missing trainers and an
equally suspicious number
of wandering talking starters.

📲Yes, but I can't steal you from your Gym EVERY day.
📲As fun as that sounds to me....

That is just an expected byproduct
of being noble. There is a reality
where I have never dated or slept
with any of those attendants!

It is not this reality, but still, it is plausible.

I need people to stop propagating
the harem allegations.

Not because they are untrue, but
because I have a brand and a
reputation to uphold.
