Hero's Mother After – Chapter 67 The Dress
Serena's POV
Huh, if I remember correctly, the promise I made was to go on one-on-one dates with each of the three people... But it seems like the church will probably suggest a date with all of them together.
I should probably apologize in advance.
"Welcome back, Serena-sama," Fleur greeted with a warm smile.
"Welcome back," Elsa added.
"Serena-sama, so how are we going to arrange the dates?" Rosalia inquired.
It's definitely about this topic.
"Well, you see, for now, I'm thinking of going on a date with all of you together. Tomorrow, we'll have a group date. After that, I'm planning to have one-on-one dates later... What do you think?"
"If you're willing to have one-on-one dates later, that's fine with us," Fleur agreed.
"Yes, that works for us. We'll figure it out," Rosalia chimed in.
"Yeah, and so, where are you going to take us?" Elsa asked curiously.
It feels like we're back to square one.
I'm at a loss.
But when I think about it, since the church is in charge, I don't know what kind of date plans they have in mind.
"It's going to be quite luxurious, I think. Don't worry, there will be transportation to pick us up tomorrow."
"Transportation? Who exactly is coming to pick us up?" Fleur wondered aloud.
"What kind of event is this?" Rosalia pondered.
"Could it be a carriage ride to somewhere far?" Elsa mused.
"...Well, I guess we'll just have to wait and see!"
Yeah, I have no idea, after all...
"""...All right, we understand."""
With so many people thinking about it, it should be okay.
Knock knock...
"Yes?"
"Good morning, Serena-sama, and Everyone-sama, your fiancé! Today is a wonderful day with great weather! I am Archbishop Gregor, who has been sent by the Pope to assist with your coordination. I've brought Mr. Balman, the designer and boutique owner of Holy Church Nation. Please change into the outfits we've prepared," Archbishop Gregor explained enthusiastically.
"Wait, so the church people are here to provide us with clothes for the date?"
"Yes, that's right," Archbishop Gregor confirmed.
"Wait, why is Archbishop here... Oh, I've been living such ordinary days lately that I forgot, but Serena-sama is not an ordinary person," Fleur remarked.
"Speaking of Balman, he's the popular designer whose dress reservations are booked five years in advance, right?" Rosalia asked.
"Amazing... That's Serena-sama for you," Elsa added.
"Now then, let's have the fiancé change in this room with our shop staff and sisters. Serena-sama, please come with me," Archbishop Gregor said.
"Thank you."
Dates are quite elaborate, it seems.
We have to change out of our regular clothes... I'm glad I asked the church for help.
"Um, Serena-sama, why are Archbishop and Balman-shi here? It's strange, did something happen?" Fleur inquired.
"Well, I didn't really know about dates, so I consulted the church... and this happened."
"Serena-sama, who did you consult?" Rosalia wondered.
"An old man named Romani."
"Not the Pope, right?" Rosalia asked in disbelief.
"Why are you so surprised, Rosalia? He's just a regular old man..."
"No way! He's the Pope, Serena-sama..." Rosalia exclaimed.
"Um... Can everyone start dressing up?" Archbishop Gregor interrupted.
"""Sorry about that."""
"Serena-sama, come over here as well," Archbishop Gregor invited.
"Yeah, thanks for everything."
"No problem, I received a request from Pope Romani himself to create Serena-sama's outfit. It's an honor to be able to work on this... I've prepared my greatest masterpiece," Archbishop Gregor explained.
"Thank you so much."
"It's an honor," Archbishop Gregor added.
The three of them went to the adjacent room, and I changed into the tuxedo that the church had provided for me in this room.
I never thought they'd take my measurements right here... They're really kind.
Fleur's POV
"In recent times, I had been living a rather ordinary life, so I had forgotten about it. Serena-sama was anything but 'ordinary,'" I said.
"Fleur, even I tend to forget his innocent face too," Rosalia responded, "but he as the one who could bring me back from the land of the dead without saying a word to that terrible guardian."
"Well, I can't say I don't understand that," I mused, "but how does he at that age know about the Archbishop of the Holy Church Nation? Archbishop Gregor is, after all, one of the Eight Archbishops."
"Hmm, on second thought," Rosalia continued, "Serena-sama was acquainted with the Demon Lord Luciferd, the Immortal King Skull King, and even the Great Sage Mel... Compared to that, this is rather insignificant... What's with that dress?"
"He sure is an extraordinary person, isn't he... is that real?" I questioned.
"Ahahaha, well, if it's Serena-sam—Oh, what's that...?" Elsa chuckled.
It's clear that Serena-sama is far from ordinary, but that dress is indeed unusual. Unthinkable, really.
"Yes," Archbishop Gregor confirmed, "As Fleur-sama is known to look great in roses, I prepared a pendant using a diamond named 'Desert Rose,' one of the national treasures of the Holy Church Nation. The dresses are all made of natural silk, and this time, we've embedded pearls from another national treasure, 'Tear of the Goddess,' using a special technique! How about it? Beautiful, isn't it? Rosalia-sama was said to favor green, so I made a brooch with an emerald named 'Sparkling Star in the Universe,' also a national treasure, and the attire is crafted from the same material as Fleur-sama's. And for Elsa-sama, in line with her valor, we have a pendant with a ruby of national treasure status, 'Lion's Eye,' and the attire is made from the same material, but with a shorter hem... What do you think?"
"It's honestly too frightening to wear, considering the consequences if it were to break. Even the King wouldn't be able to compensate for such an item," I remarked.
"It's too terrifying for me, I'm afraid," Rosalia expressed.
"I'm quite clumsy, so I'll pass," Elsa admitted.
"No need to worry about that," Archbishop Gregor assured, "The gems and dresses are gifts from Serena-sama to the fiancés through the church. The current owners are already Everyone-sama, so there's no issue whether it's broken or sold."
"Um... Is that really true?" I asked skeptically.
"I can't believe it..." Rosalia responded.
"Yeah, even I was surprised, and that says a lot." Elsa concluded.
"...Serena-sama is waiting! We'll make the minor adjustments to the measurements, so please hurry if you can," Archbishop Gregor conveyed.
"""Yes."""
I had underestimated the greatness of Serena-sama...
