I Awoke as an Imprisoned Villainess-Chapter 57 - Definition of a date

Days went by quickly and a week passed in a blink of an eye. The day has come to go out with Claude sama.

Looking forward to today, it was a little...no, considerably early as I was staring into the mirror after changing into a one-piece dress.

Should I tie my hair up at least? Or should I leave it as it is? ....As I was fretting like that.

“Nn.....Sophia chan?”

Nancy san, who was sleeping on the bed, said while rubbing her sleepy eyes.

Actually, Nancy san and I are in the same room, and Noel san is in the next room. I thought I was moving quietly so as to not make a loud noise.

“I’m sorry to wake you up”

When I apologized, Nancy san rubbed her eyes and yawned, “It’s okay”.

“It’s unusual in the morning. Are you going out somewhere?”

She looks at me with a sleepy face as she squirms around in the futon.

“Ah, that’s right. I made an appointment to go out with Claude sama today....”

When I said this a little embarrassed without hiding my happy face, Nancy san widened her eyes in an instant and got up all of a sudden.

“Sophia chan? It can’t be but you’re going with that dress?”

“Y-Yes”

I heard her low voice for the first time. I nodded in confusion at the strangely terrifying expression.

Nancy san looked at me from head to toe.

Her eyes were determined not to miss even the slightest fray, and I felt like a slightly uneven vegetable in front of the connoisseur.

“Sit there for a minute”

Nancy san, who exuded the aura of an artisan, pointed to the front of the dressing table with her finger and solemnly announced.

“Jeez, Sophia chan. You should have told me earlier if you had an appointment”

Nancy san said as she puffed out her cheeks.

“At the very least, if you had told me yesterday, I’d have taken the time to give you my special beauty drink, a new skin-beautifying pack, a small face massage, and a leg slimming stretch”

Next to Nancy san, who was very angry, Noel san was holding a large amount of clothes that she brought from her room.

Lamenting that I had too little clothes, Nancy san went to Noel san next door and said, “Lend me some clothes!”.

By the way, I won’t say what it is, but unlike Nancy san who has a plentiful size in that area, Noel san and I have a more humble and moderate size. (*Wink wink)

“Good grief. Are you being for real? You’re going to wear the usual clothes even though you’re going on a date with Claude sama? It’s absolutely absurd. It’s a universal law that you have to show a different side of you when you go on the first date”

“There is no such law. But I also think today’s outing is indeed a tryst”

I couldn’t help but widen my eyes at the conversation between the two, and I shook my hands and head in a panic.

“Y-You’re mistaken! I’m just going to the food stalls with him today, and it’s not a dat-date by any means....!”

“Sophia chan”

Nancy san shook her head as she looked at me as if looking at a useless creature.

“I’ll tell you what. If a man and a woman go out together, ....it’s a date”

“Eh.....!?”

“This is true. Excluding parents and siblings, all outings with men and women are dates. Whether you are the same sex, married, have difference in social standing or not, it’s all a date”

“I-Is that so.....?”

Nancy san’s expression is serious and she doesn’t seem to be lying.

When I looked at my fellow beginner in love, Noel san shrugged her shoulders in a troubled manner while putting on a dubious look on her face.

Could it really be true? That doesn’t make any sense. While I was thinking that, I fearfully asked the question.

“T-Then, when I went to buy herbs with the chief apothecary the other day.....”

“That doesn’t count. That’s just stocking up the herbs”

“Ah, so it wasn’t a date when I went out with Sven to repair the medical appliances.....”

“That’s a tricky one. I think it is at least the da of the date” (*Da=Half of the word ‘Date’)

“Really!?”

I don’t understand the meaning of a date because it’s so complicated.

As I was quietly scratching my head, wondering if this wasn’t a more difficult problem than the development of the cold medicine, Nancy san clapped her hands and said, “Anyways”.

“Since you’re going out with Claude sama, you have to dress appropriately. It’s definitely NG to wear that one piece dress you always wear. By food stalls, do you mean the center of the square?”

“Ah, yes! First, I’ll eat skewers and cotton candy, then I’ll have candied apple and noodles stir-fried in a spicy sauce next, and then.....”

“My my, you’re going to eat quite a lot. As if you’re seriously just going out to eat....”

“T-That’s right! He’s just graciously going to take me around to eat.....!”

When I said that, Nancy san muttered meaningfully, “You’re quite a dense type, I see....”. Then, she winked, “Well then”.

“I’ll have to make you look very cute while also making it easy to move and eat”
