When I Reincarnated as the Villain of a Game World, I Created a Harem and Broke the Protagonist's Heart and Efforts!

Chapter 20 : Pearl Sheria [1]

The day after hearing about the announcement of the Second Prince’s engagement party….

I immediately headed to the town’s best clothing store with Lilia and Lulia to prepare dresses for the event.

“I’m excited because it’s the first time I’m buying such luxurious clothes for myself. Thank you, dear husband.”

“Don’t worry about it. It’s only natural to fulfill my lover’s wishes.”

“But ordering a dress is quite expensive, isn’t it? Let me express my gratitude at least.”

Saying that, Lulia gave me a sullen look, but her excitement for the dress was clearly overflowing.

“I see. In that case, I’ll accept it.”

“Wraith-sama, acting all high and mighty.”

“Well, I am quite important, you know.”

With such exchanges, we arrived at the store in about thirty minutes.

We got off the carriage and stood in front of the store.

There, an elegant and relatively rare four-story building, predominantly using glass, caught our eyes—similar to when we saw the Duke’s residence.

“Hey, Wraith-sama. Is this the store where our dresses will be made?”

“That’s right.”

“Getting a reservation at ‘Pearl Sheria’ is amazing, dear husband. How did you manage it?”

The ‘Pearl Sheria’ that Lilia just mentioned is the name of this store. It’s a popular fashion store that has risen to the level of being favored by nobility, with its main store located in the Heaville Duchy. In just a few years, it has opened several branches in the Luvia Empire and gained significant popularity.

Its popularity is tremendous, with daily foot traffic causing numerous troubles, leading the store to switch to a reservation-only system.

“So, how did you manage to get a reservation? I heard that even if you make one, you have to wait for three years.”

Lulua’s question was quite natural.

The decision to attend the party was made just yesterday. So, there’s no way we have a reservation, and even if we did, it wouldn’t be possible to come today.

But I have a special connection.

A connection that can only be used at the main store.

So, there’s no need for a reservation when coming here.

“You’ll understand if you come along. Let’s go.”

“Ah, wait.”

While responding to Lulua, I walked towards the entrance of the store.

Lilia smoothly linked her arm with mine, looking happy, while Lulua, a bit shy but also somewhat embarrassed, linked her arm with mine. Unintentionally, I found myself in a position with a flower in each hand but opened the door without paying much attention.

Upon entering, a slightly sweet and refreshing fragrance filled the air.

“Wow…”

“What a lovely fragrance.”

It seems the two of them liked the fragrance. While they enjoyed the scent, a store clerk approached us.

“Welcome to ‘Pearl Sheria.’ Do you have a reservation, dear customer?”

“No, that’s not it.”

In response to my words, Lilia looked curious, and Lulua seemed a bit surprised, glancing at me.

The clerk, seemingly accustomed to dealing with such situations, remained composed.

“I apologize. Our store operates on a reservation-only basis, so we cannot accommodate customers without reservations.”

Perhaps following a script, the clerk bowed deeply while saying those words.

“Are you a recently trained rookie?”

“Um, yes.”

‘Pearl Sheria’ provides training for its staff, covering the mindset, handling customers, and memorizing detailed information about all products for about three years. Everyone who decides to work at ‘Pearl Sheria’ must go through this training, and only after completing it can they work in the store.

It seems he is one of the people who finished the training this year and was assigned to the main store. So it was natural that he wouldn’t know about me.

“Get the director of ‘Pearl Sheria’ for me. If not, any other clerk will do.”

“I apologize. Even other clerks cannot assist customers without reservations. The director is quite busy, so meeting with him is—”

“Oh? Wraith-sama, were you here?”

In response to the clerk’s words, another clerk, different from the first, called out to me. Going over to the rookie, the clerk spoke.

“You, guide this person to the director.”

“But, this customer doesn’t have a reservation…”

The rookie seemed perplexed, but the clerk who called out to me continued speaking without minding.

“It’s fine. This person doesn’t need a reservation; he’s also a director of ‘Pearl Sheria’.

“Huh?”

Lulua turned her face toward me at an incredible speed. Her hair hit my face in the swift motion. Ouch, that hurts…
