Demonic Pornstar System novel Chapter 1026

Chapter 1026: Shopping Fabrics

Kaiden Grey followed Yunohana into the kimono house, where the proprietress welcomed his family with her attendants lined up behind her. Calypso smiled at the young women as she ducked beneath the entrance curtain.

One of the younger attendants made a tiny noise. The girl beside her caught her wrist, and both stood straighter as their employer glanced back.

"Hello~"

"Hello!" they answered together.

The demoness grinned. One of the girls covered her mouth, visibly struggling with having been greeted by her.

Yunohana spoke to the proprietress while the family removed their shoes. Soon bolts of fabric were coming off the shelves, and the attendants spread finished display garments across a long table.

"You may try these to see which colors and styles you like," their hostess explained, lifting a silk sleeve for Alexandra to feel. "The seamstresses will take your measurements and prepare drawings of your own designs."

"It’s so soft..." Alexandra ran her fingers over the fabric.

An attendant opened a book of embroidery samples beside her. Gold leaves spread across one page, with clouds and curling waves on the next.

"Could we have moonlight?" Aria asked, immediately interested.

"Of course." Yunohana drew a length of silver thread across a dark blue swatch. "A moon above the hem, perhaps, with its light reflected across water."

Aria pictured it, then looked at Kaiden with a smile that promised him a very pleasant evening once the garment arrived.

"I would love that."

"Then I want a storm," Luna put in. "A badass one. Lightning and everything."

The proprietress listened to Sonoda’s translation, smiled, and called for drawing paper.

The girl carrying the next stack stopped in front of the Storm Valkyrie. She took a breath, then tried her English.

"Lady Luna. I am... very big fan."

Luna looked up from the table.

"Oh. Hey. Thanks."

The attendant’s face brightened at having been understood. She glanced at her colleague, who gave her an encouraging nod, then looked back at Luna.

"You are very cute."

"Not badass? Epic? Cool?"

The attendant’s eyes widened. She hurriedly addressed Sonoda in Japanese. Sonoda listened, pressed her lips together, and translated.

"She would like to know whether she offended you, Lady Luna. She says she meant cute in a powerful way."

"I know, I know. I was just messing with you." Luna giggled, then added, "You’re a real cutie yourself."

"!!!!" The blush that followed could illuminate perfect darkness.

She needed to take three audible, lengthy breaths to steady herself. "Messing with me... Lady Luna!!"

"Heh~" Luna grinned. "No way~"

"..." The attendant pouted cutely and retrieved a dark purple display kimono from the stack, holding it up for Luna with considerably more confidence.

"This one? For you?"

Silver flowers climbed the sleeves. The attendant touched the embroidery before pointing to a sketch the proprietress was making beside them. Dark clouds gathered around the drawn hem, split by branching silver lightning.

"Like this. Storm."

"Oh, that’s cool as fu- I mean very cool." Luna leaned closer to the drawing before glancing at Kaiden. "What about the purple?"

"I’d like to see you in it."

"That’s a useless answer. You’d say that about all of them."

"We could test that."

"We’re not spending the whole night here, Kai."

She took the purple sample anyway, holding it against herself while Nyx selected a sash.

Nyx chose a midnight silk with a rosy sheen and asked the seamstress for stars curving around her waist. Luna leaned over to inspect the drawing, then insisted that her lightning needed to be bigger.

"It’s embroidery, bestie. You won’t be fighting in it."

"I might. You never know."

At the other end of the table, Bastet had discovered the embroidered pieces. An older attendant placed two fabrics side by side for her, pointing out the stitching along their edges.
