"Then wear it comfortably."
Bam.
The owner, the shop assistant, and the seamstress said goodbye and left. Julia and Endymion were the only two people left in the clean and spacious dressing room.
The other costume shops were bustling with guests preparing for the belated ball, but this one was empty because Endymion had rented the whole place.
"Thank goodness. I was worried that I wouldn't be able to make a dress that fits your body quickly."
Endymion had broad shoulders and a thick chest, so he was quite large even without an ounce of fat. He was also very tall, so it wasn't easy to find clothes that fit him.
But when they gave her twenty times the average price of a dress, the dress shop in Lumar, which was known for its fastest hands, performed a miracle.
"They made such a big dress in three hours. Shouldn't they be cast as your wardrobe designer?"
Julia, who had been looking around, walked away with a satisfied look on her face, holding the crimson dress.
Endymion followed her and answered with a trembling face.
"No thanks."
"Pfft... Just kidding."
Julia giggled and walked into the locker room with them.
The dressing room was spacious and comfortable, as it was a dressing room exclusively for noble women. However, when Endymion, who was large, entered, the space suddenly felt cramped.
"Can I just take everything off?"
Or maybe the problem is something else.
Julia was startled to find Endymion with his shirt off in one breath, exposing his upper body.
"Hey, wait a minute! What if you take it off so quickly?"
Her eyes naturally went to his broad, strong shoulders and thick chest. Julia's cheeks eventually turned red as she hurriedly closed the locker room door, seeing the muscles that were tightly tightened like those of a hunting beast.
Click, click.
'Why, why isn't it locked?'
She was trying to lock it so that someone wouldn't accidentally come in and look. But she was so flustered that her hands kept slipping. Julia was struggling to hold the lock with both hands.
Brisk.
"You have to go all the way."
Endymion came up behind her and whispered in her ear.
Clank.
Julia felt like she had entered a wolf's den and locked herself in..
The large body stretched out its arms from behind, completely embracing her. Julia took a sharp breath, feeling as if she was trapped in a small room, suffocating.
But the warmth transmitted directly from the solid bare body eventually made Julia's heart pound and her nerves tense up.
"Yeah."
Julia nodded vaguely as if she understood, but at the same time swallowed dry saliva in embarrassment.
'Why do you keep coming without notice...'
She didn't know if it was because her body was sensitive, but her heart was beating faster than usual.
Julia tried to pull her hand away as if it had been burned, but the large hand that covered both of Julia's hands at once did not let go.
"Oh, um, Mion. Aren't you wearing any clothes?"
Finally, Julia opened her mouth, trying to act calmly. However, Endymion hugged her as if he had been waiting for her, and Julia was hugged tightly by Endymion, who had taken off his upper body.
"Uh, Mion?"
The strong arms around her waist and the face buried in her shoulder made her feel hot. Julia was at a loss and couldn't push him away.
"Are you going to keep being angry?"
"Wh, what are you talking about?"
"Stop being angry."
Endymion muttered with his face buried in her hands. The warmth of his naked body was already suffocating her, but when soft lips lightly touched her shoulder exposed through her clothes, goosebumps ran down her spine.
"You got angry about something..."
Julia bit her lip hard because she felt like she was going to sigh.
At her voice, which was trying to sound calm, Endymion snuggled into Julia like a cat rubbing its body against hers.
"You don't even smile. You just leave me alone and move with the wizard."
"That..."
It wasn't because she was angry. It was true that she had intended to change Endymion's mean-spirited personality to some extent.
"I reflected on it. I won't do it again. And I'll be nice to the wizard, too."
A soft voice clung to her ears. Julia's stomach started to tingle, and she chewed her lips for no reason.
"..."
"Then you're not going to push me away?"
Endymion whispered softly and kissed her earlobe. Julia, who was about to nod as if possessed, suddenly escaped from his embrace at the thrilling stimulation.
"Mion. I told you not to touch it!"
Endymion blinked in regret as she spoke urgently. Julia glared at him, realizing that he had been intentionally trying to seduce her.
'Wow, that was dangerous. I almost fell!'
Where on earth did you learn such clever things? Julia rolled her eyes and quickly walked over to pick up her dress.
"I'm going to watch you closely, so you have to behave well from now on. If you don't, you'll be banned from skinship forever."
"Yes."
"I could have succeeded," Endymion nodded with a shameless expression. Julia handed him the dress with a look of disbelief and walked away.
"Call me when you're done. I'll take a look."
Endymion nodded reluctantly, glaring at the dress. As Julia stepped behind the curtain, a voice announced a few minutes later that it was over.
"Yes, now rip the scroll."
Boris said that the effects of the illusion scroll would last about four hours. However, for the full effect.. the spell had to be cast before the ball began.
As soon as Julia spoke, the sound of paper tearing was heard.
Sizzle- Boom!
"It's okay."
When she heard the trembling voice, Julia stepped outside the curtain and saw the silhouette of a crimson dress spreading wide below.
"Wow."
Julia walked over quickly, admiring him. Endymion was standing there with a fearsome expression on his face, as if he had chewed on gall.
"You really lost weight?"
Julia smoothed the crumpled hem of his dress, looking amazed.
Although he was a bit large for a woman, he was much smaller than hia original size. Of course, since it was an illusion, if she tried to look closely, her eyes would be forcibly scattered, but for this reason, it was a great success.
"... I feel like I'm going to throw up."
Endymion muttered darkly. Julia approached him, holding back a laugh and holding up his long black wig.
"Why, are you uncomfortable? But, Mion, you look exactly like Iris!"
Endymion, under the spell, looked so much like Iris that it made you wonder if Iris had been a bit bolder. It was even more so with the wig on.
"I guess you are siblings. Seriously. I like you so much!"
Julia's eyes sparkled with admiration. Endymion, who had been looking like he wanted to rip that unpleasant piece of cloth off at any moment, stopped.
"...Not an eyesore?"
"Huh? It's a combination of two people I like, so why does it look so ugly?"
At the words she spoke while tilting her head, Endymion's face brightened. Julia held back a laugh at his visibly relieved appearance and did her final check.
"Yes. Then, let's meet up with Boris and head to the Duke's Castle... Ah."
Julia, who had been looking around, turned back to the front and discovered something. Endymion frowned slightly and looked up, brushing aside his cumbersome clothes and wig.
"Why?"
"Well, magic only reduces size, so it has its limitations."
Julia smiled vaguely and extended her hand.
Hallucinations are hallucinations, so even though his height had decreased, his actual body was the same, so she had to raise her hand higher than it appeared.
"It's so, um... awkward here."
Julia carefully touched Endymion's chest. Endymion, who had been sighing as he tried to control his patience, wiggled his eyebrows as the slender hand touched his upper body.
"Ah, here it is."
Because of the hallucination, what was seen and what was actually there were different. Julia, who had been carefully stroking and rubbing his solid muscles, soon began to shine. The crimson dress was made large, but it was basically a dress, so his upper body line was revealed.
"Even if it's a hallucination, if it's revealed that you're not a woman, the spell will be broken. It would be better to supplement the chest area."
What should I put in? Julia moved her hand with a worried face. As her slender hand freely touched the chest muscles, Endymion's eyebrows narrowed.
"You..."
"Oh, that's right!"
Finally, just as Endymion's patience was about to break, Julia shouted happily and clapped her hands. Then she took a handkerchief out of her purse and unwrapped it.
"Actually. I bought this to give as a surprise gift."
It was a high-quality handkerchief bought at the market. Julia balled up the dark-colored handkerchief and pulled Endymion towards her. Endymion didn't move and stared at her with a strange expression.
"You want me to use your gift for something like this?"
"Why is this happening? You have to do it perfectly. I'll buy you another present."
Julia tried to pull Endymion away, but Endymion stubbornly refused, as if he was feeling uncomfortable.
"No. I don't want to. I just need to make up for it anyway. There's no need to go this far."
In fact, Julia, who had been secretly enjoying decorating Endymion. However, Julia, who had been greedy about creating the perfect chest, insisted confidently.
"It's better than getting caught, right?"
"I still don't like it."
Why is he so stubborn? Julia rolled her eyes in disbelief.
"I still don't like it."
But there was no time to persuade Endymion, for time was running out.
'Umm, should I really give up?'
Endymion walked towards the door with a fierce expression on his face, as if he was about to start a fight. Julia, who had been following him with regret, stopped walking as a thought suddenly occurred to her.
"Hmm, Mion?"
"Why?"
"Look at me."
Endymion turned around in a low mood. But the cold wall of his eyes widened at the scene he soon saw.
"You're still not going to do it?"
Julia walked over to him with a light smile. Endymion's blue eyes were glued to Julia's chest as she approached, never letting go.
"..."
A dark-colored handkerchief was tucked into the center of her white chest. She had been wearing a dress with a deeper neckline than usual to make it look like she was having a natural rendezvous.
"If you say you will do it."
The handkerchief fluttered withe very step Julia took, like a mermaid's tail seducing humans.
"...I'll let you take it out yourself."
Julia whispered, imitating Endymion, who had been clinging to her earlier. The contrast between the soft, white skin and the dark fabric was so stimulating that it stung the eyes. At this, Endymion's eyes sparkled.
"Are you going to do it?"
Julia asked, coming close enough that their breaths could touch. In the end, Endymion gritted his teeth and nodded.
"Yes. Then you can take it out."
As soon as Julia spoke kindly, Endymion slowly raised his hand. Then, his firm hand pulled at the handkerchief with tickling slowness.
Ssuk-!
A soft handkerchief brushed past the tightly clasped flesh. Unfortunately, the piece of cloth quickly fell off, and as if she had been waiting, Julia quickly pulled it out and stuffed it into Endymion's chest.
"Well, this isn't enough. Oh, I should add those too!"
Julia started to wander around, bringing in more pieces of fabric and stuffing them together to create volume.
"..."
Endymion was distraught at the sight of Julia freely touching his chest.
He wonders if she gets really tense just from touching his fingertips, but thinks that what she's touching himself isn't stimulating at all.
