Stella had delivered me a list of names entering the hunting competition after I finished my rounds of target practice.
"My Lady's aim is impeccable as ever! I am surprised that you had been able to pull off multiple bullseyes in a consecutive manner. I dare say that this skill is capable of rivaling professional Archers!" Stella said.
I feel as though the number of my fans continue to grow day by day. It is like there is a second Charlotte following me around every day.
"My aim is only perfect with these practice arrows," I said with a smile.
"Are you going to use other types of arrows instead?" Stella asked.
"...Something like that. I want to practice on my aim to get it close enough to where I would like it to be. I will be using a different set of arrows on the day of the competition," I said with a smile as I took the list from Stella.
As I expected, I saw Nevel Pillar's name among the contestants...
"Arielle! I am here!" Charlotte said as she waved at me from a distance.
In the distance, I saw Charlotte and Grace waving at me. I quickly waved at them back.
They had come over to play.
Other servants escorted Charlotte and Grace to my parlor, while Stella assisted me in my bath and helped me get changed before seeing them.
"I am so glad that you two came over to see me," I said excitedly.
"The pleasure is mine," Grace said.
"Grace and I are the most excited to see your hunting uniform," Charlotte said.
"I will be back soon," I said as I went to get changed again.
When I came back, the viewing party had increased by one more person.
"Garett?" I said in surprise.
"I informed you the other day that I would make a short visit today. I was suddenly dragged into this viewing party with them," Garett said with an awkward smile.
I soon remembered that I was wearing my hunting uniform and suddenly felt shy since it was my first time appearing in an outfit like this in front of Garett.
Although all of my skin remained covered, the outfit was very form fitting and did not leave much to the imagination.
"You are even more beautiful than I imagined!" Grace said excitedly.
"The style is so chic and beautiful. What do you think of Arielle's outfit?" Charlotte asked Garett.
Will he say that I look fat, or will he give me a compliment? Knowing him, it could honestly go either way.
"...Does it suit me?" I asked Garett with expectant eyes.
I really want him to compliment me...
"The outfit is supposed to be a reflection of men's sportswear with the tightly fitted shirt, pants and vest...Women are shaped differently from men, so there is a clear absence of extra fabric around the crotch area and extra fabric around the chest area to accommodate Arielle's ample chest and bottom. The brown vest is also shorter and wraps around the front in a V-shape almost like suspenders from the slender straps. I think the tailor did quite well in taking the especially difficult areas that needed extra attention such as the gap between Arielle's legs and her slim waist. All in all, I think the tailor did well in replicating men's sportswear onto Arielle's curvy figure. Regardless of what she wears, she would look good in anything because she has a very feminine figure," Garett said in one breath.
I felt so incredibly embarrassed that Garett had examined my outfit so thoroughly as if he was doing a topsoil report on me.
