Chapter 923 The Last Daily Life 102
Xiao Lin put on the tailor-made noble clothing. He looked at himself in the mirror and felt stunned.
"...I say, is this kind of clothing really popular now?" Xiao Lin tugged at his clothes, looked at the person next to him in disbelief, and asked in confusion, "Does this kind of dress really suit me? Was this specially prepared for me?"
At first, he was very happy to hear that Wang Du had specially made clothes for him. He was excited because he thought Alice was thoughtful. But after putting on the clothes, Xiao Lin felt that something was wrong. Was this really specially prepared for him, not deliberately made to fool him? Could it be that Claire prepared it?
Because now he was dressed like a European noble in the 17th century, in the Baroque and Dutch style. If you still don't understand, then please refer to how the clowns in the circus dress. If it weren't for the fact that his face was not painted, and there was no red nose and big mouth, he really thought he was a clown invited by the palace to perform.
The wide and bloated upper body has an inexplicable lace edge at the neck, which looks garish. The lower body is tight pants, so tight that it makes people suspect that they will tear if they squat down, and the shoes under their feet look no different from high heels, which makes Xiaolin's height a lot taller.
Is this really the kind of clothing that nobles wear? Did they get this specially for themselves?
The butler beside him nodded seriously with an expression that confirmed it, and said, "Yes, it is very suitable for you, the guest. This style is at the forefront of fashion and is made of high-quality fabrics. It is quite elegant clothing."
"Graceful...you are not serious, are you? I mean, if you are serious, I will be angry."
He said this in a slightly threatening tone.
Xiao Lin twitched his lips, and the butler beside him was indeed not lying. Xiao Lin knew that this was high-end fabric just by touching it, but the style made of it was really unacceptable. The problem was that this might be the same as the model party. This kind of weird aesthetic was definitely not acceptable to ordinary people.
"Is this a test from the fantasy world?" Xiao Lin looked at the strange outfit with some melancholy. He sighed and said helplessly, "Forget it. Just think of it as being cheated once. I'll wear this outfit to attend the dance."
Well, let the clown be a clown.
After all, I didn’t want to stand out this time, and if I dress like this, I shouldn’t be laughed at. Yes, I am a powerful adventurer who has defeated many Demon King’s army cadres. Even if my outfit is a little weird, I won’t be laughed at. Instead, I should be considered unique! However——
“Ahahahaha——!”
As soon as he walked out of the room, he saw Dust, and this guy couldn't help laughing just one second after seeing Xiaolin. He laughed so hard that his whole body was shaking violently. He knelt on the ground, holding his stomach. He didn't expect that his outfit could be so lethal. It was really scary.
"Why are you dressed like this?! You don't look handsome at all! Hahaha, this is so funny!"
This guy didn't give Xiaolin any face at all.
Damn thing!
Not only him, Taylor couldn't help but hold down Dust's shoulders, covering his mouth while shaking his shoulders, and said with difficulty: "Pfft...! Don't laugh, Dust. Xiaolin probably thinks that the outfit suits him very well, so he wears it like this. We have to accept his aesthetic...Pfft!"
"You look very aristocratic, Kobayashi...!"
Chis couldn't help but say this with a smile.
Lynn looked at him with a half-smile, as if she wanted to laugh but was holding it back because she thought it might hurt Xiaolin's feelings, which really made people feel unhappy.
“…It’s so noisy!”
Xiao Lin retorted loudly with red face.
The four of them laughed for a long time. When Xiaolin was about to lose control and wanted to lose his temper, Dust wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and asked in a strange way: "I'm finally used to seeing you dressed like this... So, why do you dress like this?"
"What can I do? It was the housekeeper who made the decision on his own and asked me to wear this outfit!" Xiao Lin argued loudly, somewhat unhappy, trying to make amends for himself, saying, "I also felt that it was wrong, but he insisted that I wear it... In that situation, I couldn't just refuse to wear it because it would cause trouble for Alice."
"So, is this really a popular dress among the nobles in the capital?"
Lynn asked this question with some uncertainty, and then looked at Qis who might understand this. After taking a closer look, Qis also spoke with some uncertainty, "Well... well, the material of the clothes is indeed very good. Some nobles who like to dress up do dress like this occasionally, but... young people probably don't like to dress like this."
In other words, this kind of clothing or style is liked by mature nobles of their age, but only those nobles with mature temperament can wear this kind of clothing. At least, when worn by Xiaolin, he looks like a clown from a funny circus.
“Whose sense of beauty is this…”
Xiao Lin hated the people who were reincarnated from the island country and brought such weird clothes to this world, but he was helpless and had no way to complain to others. He sighed and said, "I may dislike it, but this dress was lent to me for free after all, so I will just wear it to the dance."
There is not enough time to go back and change it, and he can't find any good reason. Besides, the housekeeper may not agree to his request.
"By the way," Lynn said to Xiaolin with some concern, "The stage isn't high enough this time. Do we still have to perform as usual?"
"Well, the audience this time is mainly nobles. They will probably stay away from the stage elegantly to watch. It should be no problem to find a place like usual."
Xiaolin gave an affirmative answer.
After all, the nobles are very careful about their reputation. In such occasions, especially when princes and nobles are present, it is even less likely that they will behave in an indecent manner. Kobayashi and others can take advantage of this and perform more to their heart's content.
“I see…” Lynn nodded and said, “When I think about the different identities of the guests this time, I get even more nervous.”
She was getting nervous again.
"That's right." Xiao Lin did not comfort her, but nodded and said: "The audience are reserved and polite nobles, so the atmosphere at the beginning will not be very enthusiastic. But don't be stage frightened. Let them know that the drama performances of Axel Little Theater are not in vain! There is no reason for you to be flustered just because the audience are nobles!"
"Okay, I'll try my best!"
Taylor nodded seriously. Chiss didn't say anything but looked serious, as if he wanted the nobles to look at his performance differently. But Dust was unexpectedly excited.
"Xiao Lin is right!" Dust raised his right hand and said loudly with confidence and pride: "No matter if they are nobles or royals, they will definitely be excited when they see how handsome I am!"
It's a good thing that he is so confident. After all, Xiaolin is afraid that he will fail at this critical moment. However, when he thinks that this guy was originally a dragon knight of the Knights Templar, he is not so nervous anymore.
"That's right, Dust is very handsome, there will be absolutely no problem!"
At this point, Kobayashi will not deliberately sabotage them. As they are about to make their debut, he should certainly give them more courage.
"Hahaha, Xiaolin, do you finally understand how handsome I am? Of course, I am indeed very handsome!"
Dust laughed.
To be honest, if this guy doesn't do stupid things, he is really handsome. I don't know how many fans will be crazy about him when he is called a rigid dragon knight.
"Yeah." Xiao Lin nodded, and then said to Lynn, Chis, and Taylor who were a little nervous: "So, you don't have to be nervous, just give your best performance as usual--"
"Xiao Lin? Isn't this Xiao Lin?!"
Before Xiaolin could finish his words, a familiar voice came from the other side of the corridor, and Xiaolin froze when he heard him.
What, what is this voice...? ! Could it be——!
"I had an appointment to meet you, but I'm late." Yu Jian Xiangye had an awkward and embarrassed expression on his face. He scratched his head and said embarrassedly: "Actually, I encountered a little trouble before coming to the capital."
It is indeed Yu Jian Xiang Ye!
This guy was wearing a white suit and looked very energetic. He was elegant yet had the bearing of an adventurer. He looked really handsome, like a prince charming, which made people a little jealous.
“Is it troublesome…?”
Xiao Lin didn't dare to look at him and could only turn his head away in embarrassment, with beads of sweat appearing on his forehead.
"Yeah." Yu Jian Xiangye didn't notice Xiao Lin's weirdness. Instead, he sighed and felt relieved. He said, "I accidentally lost the invitation. I didn't expect that I would make such a mistake. I was really careless."
“Is that so… That’s really a disaster… It’s a relief that you were able to come in…”
There was more sweat on Xiaolin's forehead.
Of course he knew how Yu Jian Xiangye's invitation letter was lost, and of course he knew that he would definitely come in, but there would be some minor twists and turns in the process. But it was precisely because he knew this that he felt very embarrassed.
Yu Jian Xiangye also nodded thankfully and said, "Fortunately, when I entered the palace, I explained the situation to someone I knew, so I was able to get in smoothly."
“Thank you for your hard work, ahahahaha—”
Xiao Lin laughed without any emotion. He didn't seem to feel bad for Yu Jian Xiangye at all. Rather, he was a little jealous. This guy obviously didn't have an invitation letter, nor was he let in by Claire. He just walked in by scanning his face. It really made people feel a little uncomfortable.
but!
No mistakes!
Although I feel a little guilty, as if I was being condemned, it’s good that nothing was exposed!
Just when Xiaolin felt relaxed, another noble appeared on the other side. He was a little surprised when he saw Mitsurugi Hibiki, and immediately forced a smile on his face and said, "Oh, the one over there... is that Mitsurugi Hibiki? Oh, I didn't expect to see the Demon Sword Hero again!"
He walked over quickly and shook hands with Yu Jian Xiangye, with an expression as if he was meeting again after a long time.
And Yu Jian Xiangye also had a bright smile on his face and said, "Hey, hello. Long time no see. I haven't seen you since the last dance. I'm so lucky to see that you are in good health."
This guy seemed to still remember the appearance of the unknown nobleman in front of him.
Hearing this, the nobleman's smile became even more earnest. He shook the hand that was holding Yu Jian Xiangye vigorously and said with a smile on his face: "Oh, I didn't expect that you still remember me. It's my honor, Mr. Yu Jian Xiangye."
"Stewardship?"
On the other side, the nobles who were about to enter the ballroom of the palace paused when they heard the name. They looked at this side with some surprise and curiosity, and asked with confusion on their faces: "Could it be that you are the magic sword hero Mr. Yuken Hibiki?! Who are these lovely women around you...?"
The other noble's eyes fell on Lynn.
"Handsome? Did you just say handsome?" Dust walked in front of Lynn, blocking the noble's sight and said coquettishly, "My noble sir, you look very tasteful."
"Daxt?!" Seeing him like this, Chis said excitedly, "You can't talk to nobles like that!"
He seemed to know very well the character of the nobles. If he offended these guys, they might find some way to retaliate. Therefore, after seeing Duster being so shameless, he immediately stopped him in agitation.
"I apologize for my companion's rude remarks!" Taylor also walked forward very straightforwardly, lowered his head and said seriously: "Nice to meet you, we are adventurers from Axel, please give us your guidance."
"Oh, you are the actors who will be giving a special performance today..." The noble who was contradicted did not get angry. Instead, he waved his hand amiably and said with a smile, "It seems worth looking forward to."
He seemed to like the looks of Dust and his friends.
"Axel's little theater?" Another noble was also a little surprised. He nodded and said, "My son said he is your fan."
Hearing that Mitsurugi Hibiki and Axel's skit actors were present, the curious nobles gathered and formed a circle.
Looking at them like this, Kobayashi sighed slightly, "Ah...! Those guys are shining all over. After all, I am Kobayashi who has defeated many powerful enemies. I am also Kobayashi who planned the Axel Theater...! Forget it, I already knew that I don't fit in here, so I'd better watch them from a distance."
Watching Dust and his group happily chatting with the distinguished guests, Kobayashi was thankful that he had brought them here.
