“Sit up straight and cross your legs! Look a bit languid. . . that’s right! Tianne has a habit of keeping her pinky up.”
“Yes!”
ㅤ
Tianne is the name of the young lady I’m role-playing as.
This spoiled and slightly selfish foreign lady has come to this school under the pretense of studying abroad. She’s a bit rebellious because she has an arranged marriage waiting for her when she returns. Nobody knows her family name as it has been kept a secret.
That’s the setting.
ㅤ
“Tianne has three distinct habits. If you perform them perfectly, almost no one will doubt you. Nobody really knows Tianne that well anyway. The rest is all about posture and demeanor.”
ㅤ
This is something that won’t come naturally right away.
ㅤ
“I’ll bring the corset I was using. It forces you into a certain posture. Wearing it will make things easier; you’ll only need to pay attention to the parts of your body that are visible.”
ㅤ
Chris returned after a while with what looked more like a bodysuit than a corset. Made of breathable black fabric, it felt surprisingly stiff to the touch.
It covered from the wrists to the ankles, only leaving the décolleté exposed.
ㅤ
. . .This bodysuit is not for making you look good. It’s for forcing everyone who wears it into the same shape and posture.
It feels quite intimidating.
ㅤ
“I apologize for offering you something I wore.”
“No, I appreciate it. Give me a moment, please.”
ㅤ
I immediately went back to my room and tried it on under my day dress.
ㅤ
“Hmm, it’s a bit loose. . .?”
ㅤ
As soon as I had put it on, it tightened around me, forcing me into an upright posture and causing my legs to snap together, giving me an elegant stance.
ㅤ
I struggled a bit to put on my day dress over it, but I couldn’t zip up the back.
This bodysuit limits your range of motion. More precisely, it restricts you to movements that a well-bred young lady would make. I couldn’t even raise my arms above my shoulders.
ㅤ
“It’s no use, I can’t zip up the back with a back scratcher.”
ㅤ
After struggling for a while, I gave up.
Thanks to the bodysuit, I walked with deliberate grace, carefully opening the door with the tips of my fingers.
ㅤ
“Did you manage to put it on?”
“I couldn’t zip up the back of the dress.”
“My apologies.”
ㅤ
Chris rushed over in a slightly flustered manner. I finally managed to get the zipper up with his help from behind the door.
The door closed, and we resumed our intensive training. I sat on the sofa and went over Tianne’s habits and movements before standing up again.
This is the general flow of Tianne’s main activities at school. She goes to the classroom, sits at her own seat, takes the class, and goes back home.
.
Ideally, it would be great if she could also participate in gossip and tea parties, but as Tianne hasn’t done that often up till now, and my training hasn’t caught up yet, we’ve decided to postpone that.
ㅤ
“Good morning. . .”
ㅤ
Around noon, a door opened on the opposite side from where my room is.
A sleepy-eyed Edgardo appeared, wearing a black shirt and pants with a white vest. The same uniform as Arthur the butler.
He’s a young man still growing, with a somewhat thin chest. His long legs were evident in the pants he was wearing.
ㅤ
“Good morning, Edgardo-sama. Did you sleep well?”
“Good morning, Miss Alice, Chris. I slept like a log.”
ㅤ
Seeing Edgardo smile with an unusually soft expression is incredibly precious. It makes me nostalgic and a bit scared, reminding me of Thor.
Thor is my adorable little brother, but there’s something a bit broken about him when it comes to me. I should avoid talking to him even if I see him at school. If I do, he might find out.
ㅤ
“Since you’ve finally gotten some rest, wouldn’t it be alright to sleep a little more?”
“I’ve had enough sleep. That said, you’ve certainly become quite ladylike all at once, Miss Alice. It’s a transformation.”
“My manner of speaking has also been coached.”
ㅤ
I was told outright that I wasn’t ladylike before.
ㅤ
“Could it be that I was disrespectful before?”
“No, not at all.”
ㅤ
Edgardo looks up as if he’s realized something. His half-closed eyes snap open.
ㅤ
“Not at all! I liked the previous Miss Alice too!”
“Well, thank you.”
ㅤ
I’ve made him say it.
I smile at the flustered Edgardo.
ㅤ
“Tianne is a slightly mischievous lady, so I’ve been practicing to act that way. Edgardo-sama, could you come here and take a look?”
“Y, Yes.”
ㅤ
I glare at the approaching Edgardo, true to Tianne’s character.
ㅤ
“. . .How long do you intend to stand?”
“Ah, I apologize.”
ㅤ
I gently stroke from Edgardo’s Adam’s apple to his jawline.
ㅤ
“Do you know what I desire right now?”
ㅤ
Here, Tianne’s habit: I narrow my eyes slightly and tilt my head to the left! I don’t forget to raise my left pinky finger!
ㅤ
“Is it. . .tea?”
“You guessed correctly. I’ll reward you for serving me.”
ㅤ
When I apply a slight pressure to the fingertips that were still touching his chin, Edgardo senses it and lifts his face.
ㅤ
“. . .How was it?”
“Ah. . .um. . .very good, I think.”
ㅤ
I’ll pretend not to notice that Edgardo’s face is slightly flushed and his eyes are moist.
What should I do if I’ve opened a new door for Edgardo? I can’t take responsibility. I’d like to think he was always like this from the beginning.
When I look to Chris for help, I am met with a very nice, warm smile.
ㅤ
. . .My call for help was rejected.
ㅤ
“Edgardo-sama, what would you like for breakfast? I’ll be having lunch in a little while.”
“Ah. . .I’ll have it.”
ㅤ
I decide to pretend not to notice Edgardo’s reluctant look.
