IllyasArt Hello! This is my latest novel! Unlike my other novels, this one isn't finished yet. The first volume is finished, though. And you can buy it on Amazon here. If you would be so kind, you can also get the first volume(and anything else I've made.) on my Patreon for donating $10 or over that, here. If you wish for updates, the $10 and over tiers will give you access to chapters when I actually finish them. (Maybe one a day? Idk, as I will be mainly working on other novels as well. But, there will at least be one new chapter every few days.)

Chapter 41: House?

*Celia’s POV*

Originally, I assumed that being a woman’s dress up doll, would be a nightmare. But oddly, I had a lot of fun wearing the various outfits that Amelie picked out for me.

She had a very good taste for fashion too! When it was all said and done, I now had forty different dresses, or rather, entire outfits to choose from.

This store was called Zelia’s. And it had dresses, full outfits, jewelry, and even foot wear. I can now see why Amelie chose to go here with me. I was greatly worried about the price, but she refused to tell me it at all. Currently, since it took hours to try on all of those clothes, I am eating a small snack in a very nice business area of the city.

My current outfit was a more expensive looking version of the dress that I used to wear. A pinkish red dress with various florals on it. I was wearing nice open top dress shoes on my feet too.

That store even had lingerie, so I was given forty sets of extremely soft and comfortable lingerie. All in various colors. This is something that I have to think my fellow reincarnater’s for. Otherwise, stuff like nice lingerie probably wouldn’t exist.

The reactions from the staff, and some of the customers, as I shoved all that Amelie bought me into my pouch, was quite funny. Yona also seems to have spoiled me, but in a less direct way than Amelie. This pouch, I was certain that it was damn near infinite…

As for my snack, it was like a corn dog. Actually, it basically was a corn dog, but the meat wasn’t like a hot dog at all. It tasted somewhat like beef. But it still tasted pretty good. I was just waiting here for Amelie, who said that she had some business to attend to.

After waiting for thirty minutes, Amelie came back. I wanted to thank her, but she gestured for me to follow her, so I did that instead. But after walking for a while, I grabbed her hand to get her to stop walking.

Amelie: “What’s wrong?” She asked.

Celia: “Amelie, thank you for today. I had a lot of fun.” I say with a warm tone.

Amelie: “Hm? Of course, I am glad that you enjoyed it.” She said with a smile.

Celia: “I didn’t just enjoy it… I think this was the happiest day of my entire life.” I say with a slightly sad tone.

Amelie: “Really? That is quite depressing… Cute girls like you should always have reasons to be happy.” She said with a concerned tone.

Celia: “Don’t worry, I will make it a point to find my own happiness from now on.” I say with a serious tone.

With that, I continued to follow Amelie. I honestly had no idea where she was taking me, but unlike Areina, I am absolutely sure that Amelie won’t betray me at all. Besides, eventually, we ended up at a district of the city, that has houses. And not just common houses… Each “house” was practically its own mansion estate… Why the heck are we in this kind of place?…

I tried asking Amelie, but she refused to answer me. Not like the reason is secret, just that she seems to like messing with me… Ten minutes later, we ended up at one of the nicest estates in this entire section. Does Amelie know some rich person?

Amelie: “Celia, this is my house. Ah, the staff is only maids, and each one had their aging stopped by the head maid, so they’re trustworthy.” She said.

Celia: “I see. Did you need to pick up something from your house?” I ask.

Amelie: “No? You enrolled in the academy as my student. So of course, you will be living in my house, and will have access to all I do.” She said with a nonchalant tone.

Celia: “…”

Amelie: “Don’t give me that look. Just think of it as the rest of the payment for the Mana Crystals.” She said with a laugh.

Isn’t this too big of an upgrade? Not that long ago, I was roughing it out in a dangerous forest. Now I am supposed to live in such a fancy house, and attend a high class academy? Ugh… now I feel bad about making Ruina’s head hurt on purpose…

Speaking of Ruina, apart from that update, this is the longest that she has ever ghosted me… Ah, damn. That trick didn’t work this time. Will she ever actually come back?… While I was lost in this thought, Amelie grabbed my hand, and led me into her house.

Once inside, all of her maids greeted me. I was a little overwhelmed, and the woman who looked to be the head maid, realized this, so she had them all go back to their assigned jobs. After which, she guided Amelie and I into a nice private room, that looked to be used for private talks.

Amelie: “Celia, this is Riatzia, she has been my head maid for… a very, very long time. You can absolutely trust her, and she will be the one who is your personal maid from now on.” She explained.

Riatzia… I’ll just call her Ria from now on. Anyway, Ria was quite beautiful. She had black hair, and wore cool looking glasses. Her maid outfit wasn’t slutty, but through it, I could still tell that she had really big breasts. Basically speaking, she is really pretty. Why are there so many beautiful women in this world?...

Ria: “Amelie? I thought that you did not wish to let others know your age? Is Celia that important to you?” She asked with a serious tone.

Amelie: “She is very important to me, and to this world.” She replied with a vague answer.

Ria: “Amelie…I truly did not miss your cheekiness. Shouldn’t you have grown out of that by now?” She said with a scolding tone.

Amelie: “Not until the day I die! Besides, Celia can use the System, so she was able to see my true age.” She said with a shrug.

Ria: “Truly? Then you cheeky girl, you’re quite lucky to have found her before anyone else.” She said with a serious, yet cheeky tone.

Amelie: “.snomed eht fo neeuq eht saw tsrif ehT .tsrif eht t’nsaw I” She said with a sigh.

Ria: “.redael doog a eb ot nwonk si ehs tub ,etanutrofnu si tahT” She said with a sigh of her own.

Amelie: “We just have to hope that everything works out.” She said with another sigh.

Ria: “That is so.” She said with a nod.

Celia: “…”

What the heck? They seemingly had a secret conversation, in a language that I do not understand. Am I being tricked again?…

Amelie: “Celia, do not worry. We didn’t discuss anything that secret.” She said with a serious tone.

Celia: “Then what?” I ask.

Amelie: “It was something to do with Yona. What I said would spoil her little surprise for you, so I only said it in the secret language that I made just for me, and my close aides.” She said with a laugh.

Celia: “Okay.” I say with a nod.

I didn’t detect a single hint of a lie in her words, so I should believe her. I actually really want to have someone like her that I can trust. Although, I do need to be careful to not get tricked like with how Areina tricked me. But Amelie is still trustworthy, at least in my opinion.

After having some very nice tea with Amelie, she said that she had to leave, and wouldn’t be back for a long time. Mostly due to her going to hide out in that forest, so that she could use the Mana Crystals that I gave her. Amelie said that the main reason she is in that forest, is so she won’t hurt anyone if her magic goes haywire.

When she left, Ria then guided me around the estate. It screamed money, as you would expect. But not overly glamorous and expensive. It still felt like a home.

I still remember all of those times where I looked through property realtor websites. I would always sort by the most expensive houses, and said houses always looked waaaaaay too expensive, and not like someone actually lives there.

When the small, but detailed tour was finished, I was lead to what would now be my room. I felt that once again, Amelie was messing with me… What the fuck is this room all pink and frilly!?

Ria: “Many apologies, Lady Celia. Amelie already planned to adopt you, so she had this room prepared.” She said.

Celia: “Why does it look like a little girl’s room, though?” I ask with a raised eyebrow.

Ria: “Because she said that she would soon be bringing home a little girl. She didn’t mention that you would be a teen.” She said with a giggle.

Celia: “Ah… well, to be fair, the last time she saw me, I was still a child. But some higher beings aged me up.” I say with a sigh, as I rubbed my head.

Ria: “That would explain it. We were trying to figure out why she had us purchase so many different outfits, all being sized for a teen.” She said with a thinking pose.

Huh? Walking over to a huge wardrobe, I opened it, and what appeared before my gaze, gave me quite the shock… There were over fifty more outfits within it. So, that is why she was gone so long… But I already had so many different outfits for use in my pouch…

Ria: “Do not worry, Lady Celia, this room will be redesigned in the coming days, to better suit you.” She said with a bow.

Celia: “I see… Thanks.” I reply with a sigh.

With that, Ria bowed once more, and left the room. Her calling me first with “Lady” but not doing that with Amelie, is actually quite funny to me. Taking off my clothes, and then putting on one of the nightwear that Amelie bought me, I plopped my tired bones onto the bed.

A cloud… this bed was a goddamn cloud! Truly, I wished to think about a lot of things… But this bed, and that nice meal that I had earlier, soothed me right to sleep. Ah, my first sleep in this new life on an actual bed… How nice!
