| While Versailles was struggling to choose a dress, Islington appeared on the sales floor. Her shopping spree was so bold that she bought the entire shop's merchandise. | ||
| I wasn't aware that there are people who can really buy like this... | ||
 Islington |
"Huh, are you all shopping together?" | |
|---|---|---|
| Conductor |
You said you had a lot of work to do, so I didn't expect to see you here, Islington. | |
| Islington |
"I wanted to come to the department store, so I got all my work done as fast as I could. I left the aftermath procedures to King's Cross, and from here on, I'm going to shop as much as I want, just me and my lil' sis♪" | |
 Vivienne |
"When we first arrived at M. St. Iris, you said you didn't have time to have fun... You must have really wanted to come to the department store." | |
| Islington |
"Because I'm curious to see what the fashion trends are like in M. St. Iris, right?" | |
| Islington was in a good mood and walked into the shop we were in. And then - | ||
| Islington |
"Oho, they have everything from sexy to cute, M. St. Irish department stores really do have everything a customer could want. Right, I'll have all the dresses in this shop too!" | |
| Vivienne |
"Wait a minute, we might want to buy some of those dresses too!" | |
| Islington |
"Oh, really?" | |
 Pancras |
"Yes, we're having a bit of trouble deciding." | |
| Vivienne |
"We take our time to be very selective to make sure we get the best one." | |
| Islington |
"I see, so that means you might come back to buy this dress later." | |
| Vivienne |
"Oui oui, we're probably come back later to buy and -" | |
| Islington |
"But you have not asked the store to put on layaway, have you? Then first come first serve♪" | |
| Smiling and saying this, Islington quickly completed her purchases and left. | ||
 Versailles |
"The-the dress I was interested in..." | |
| Islington |
"Fashion doesn't wait even a second!" | |
| Vivienne |
"Ooh, that's a great quote." | |
| Islington |
"Hmph, every word out of my mouth is a quote. And of course, this one is mine♪" | |
| Pancras |
"But I don't think that dress will fit you, Miss Islington, because it's a size too small." | |
| Islington |
"Not to worry. You know what they say, fashion is patience. You can put it on if you try hard enough!" | |
| Vivienne |
"That's what you would say when you wear a mini-skirt on a cold day." | |
| Islington |
"Anyway you're missing the point, I snagged this one. Versailles, sincerest apologies, but I win this time." | |
| Versailles |
"Y-yes..." | |
| Islington |
"Hmm? I felt that reaction's improper." | |
| Islington |
"Versailles, you just backed away from me, didn't you? You're worried that you'll disrespect the Lady of the House of Elrond, am I right?" | |
| Versailles |
"No I didn't mean..." | |
| Islington |
"It's true that normally we have to follow hierarchy while on duty. But I care not about hierarchy into my private life. This dress is purely a first-come, first-served basis. So don't be afraid, come at me head-on." | |
| Islington |
"If you want to be fashionable♪" | |
| After Islington gave Versailles inspirational words, she bought the dress and left without hesitation. | ||
| Pancras |
"All the dresses on this floor have been cleared." | |
| Vivienne |
"Woah, it's true. It's like a burnt-out building..." | |
| Vivienne |
"Hey Versailles, what are you so depressed about? I'm sorry about the dress you just saw, but there are still plenty of dresses on the other floors. Let's move to the next one, next!" | |
| Versailles |
"But, if I want to buy a dress in the future, I'll have to challenge Lady Islington, right? I'm afraid that..." | |
| Pancras |
"Don't worry about it. She said it herself. Don't be afraid to come at her head-on." | |
| Vivienne |
"Yes yes, Islington said that, so don't worry about it. Besides, she loves challenges and interesting things like this." | |
| Conductor |
Islington may appear to be insolent on the surface, but she is a good girl who cares about everyone very much. There's no way she would be angry at being outsmarted in a shopping competition like that. | |
| Conductor |
Nevertheless, Versailles is a member of the M. St. Iris Railway Knights and has lived under strict discipline. It is not an easy decision to challenge someone of a higher position, even in private. I understand that too. | |
| Vivienne |
"But if we slow down, she'll buy all the dresses in the meantime. We've come all the way to the department store and I don't want to end up not buying anything." | |
| Pancras |
"Let's go after her. We'll challenge her and win. It's okay, there are four of us, so we should have the advantage in numbers." | |
| Vivienne |
"Surely, if we make a quick decision, we won't lose. So, let's all move separately on the next floor and immediately buy anything that catches our fancy." | |
| Vivienne |
"Versailles, come on, get into it. You want a dress, don't you?" | |
| Versailles |
"Y-yes." | |
| Vivienne |
"Then don't be shy." | |
| Vivienne |
"That's why we'll spread out the moment we head upstairs. Remember the SSS marching drill. Let's show her what Train Knights can do!" | |
| Vivienne ran up the stairs, fire in her eyes. Pancras and Versailles looked at each other, nodded and followed her. | ||
| ---- | ||
| Islington |
"Give me this!" | |
| Islington |
"Give me this one too!" | |
| Islington |
"Give me aaall of them!" | |
| Vivienne |
"I couldn't grab any...!" | |
| Pancras |
"I couldn't either." | |
| Versailles |
"We all split up, but everywhere we went, there's always Lady Islington..." | |
| Islington |
"Hmhmhmm, I guess I win again♪" | |
| Following the happy voice, I turned my head to see Islington sitting cross-legged at the top of a mountain of boxes, looking down at us. | ||
| Are all those boxes dresses or...? | ||
| Versailles |
"What intimidating appearance... I knew it was impossible from the start for us to take on the challenge." | |
| Vivienne |
"Don't give up Versailles, we are a team, we have far more mobility than one person. There are still plenty of women's clothing stores up there. We'll win next time." | |
| Islington |
"Yes, that's the spirit. Come at me." | |
| Islington |
"- That's what I'd have said, but you've already caught in my ambush." | |
| Pancras |
"How? There was no signs of attacks or traps." | |
| Versailles |
"What exactly did you do to us...!?" | |
| Islington |
"Hmhmhmm, where do you think the stairs to the upper floor are?" | |
| Pancras |
"Stairs? If that's the case, shouldn't it be straight ahead -" | |
| Pancras |
"Oh no, the stairs are behind that pile of dresses!" | |
| Islington |
"Exactly. Well, then, good luck with that, you'll have to wade through these boxes of dresses." | |
| Islington smiled wryly and disappeared to the other side of the mountain of boxes. | ||
| Vivienne |
"No, can you at least take what you bought away..." | |
