After leaving the flower shop, Noah Metron took Herta to the next stop on their "relaxation tour" — the clothing district.
Technically, it was to prep for future academic meetings with the Intelligentsia Guild, just in case he had to attend with her later. So he was buying formalwear in advance.
But also…
He had a selfish motive.
While browsing, one particular window display caught his eye.
A Victorian-style maid outfit. Black and white. Lacy. Classic.
And judging by the size—it'd likely fit Herta.
He made a snap decision.
Noah led her straight into the boutique.
Of course—
**It definitely wasn't because he wanted to see the aloof genius dressed as a maid.**
And definitely not because he fantasized about her greeting him with a "Welcome home, Master~" someday.
Nope. Not at all.
This was purely in case Aha tossed him a surprise mission, and he needed proper outfits for chaos resistance.
Yes. Tactical planning.
That's all.
With this righteous reasoning in mind, Noah nodded firmly to himself and led Herta inside.

"Really suits me, huh?"
Herta blinked at her reflection in the mirror.
Then slowly nodded.
"It does look… good."
She picked the violet flower from her hair and examined it thoughtfully.
She didn't know much about flowers—only that this one smelled nice and looked elegant.
But…
If Noah liked it on her, then that was reason enough.

Meanwhile, Noah sat outside the dressing room, muttering to himself.
"She was hesitant even about taking off stockings in front of me, but she's totally fine trying on maid outfits?"
"Is her affection level already rising?"
"Or is she evolving into… a custom dress-up doll?"
He scratched his chin, confused.
Then—
**Whoosh—**
The curtain parted.
Herta stepped out.
Fully dressed.
Hair tied back, maid ribbon replacing her usual beret. A soft blush on her cheeks.
Snowy white skin contrasted beautifully against the black-and-white fabric.
She looked—
Like a living porcelain doll.
Or rather…
A perfect maid.
Noah's brain shut down for a second.
"…Wha—"
Herta smiled. A real one.
Her first, bright and proud.
> "Does this… fulfill your wish?"
