The girls split up for their shopping activities, and Steph already found her preferred clothes while going ahead and getting a few differently colored options, as well. Anna and Sophia, who were with the dog-girl, had yet to find something, though.

  “Found the denim corner!” A few minutes after Steph found her clothes, Anna excitedly pointed at a few mannequins wearing various denim-inspired clothes like jeans, shorts, skirts, and jackets.

  “Ohh!” As Sophia was also interested in that, she got just as excited. “I love those shorts!” She immediately found something that piqued her interest and pointed at one of the models. “That flannel shirt is an absolute no-go, though.” The display was wearing a checkered red and white flannel shirt that was knotted up to show a bit of stomach. It was combined with dark blue denim shorts with a fringed bottom hem and brown knee-high boots. “The boots aren’t bad, but not something I’d like to wear while traveling. Sneakers or running shoes would be so much better!”

  "I kinda like the cowgirl look. The style of clothes, I mean. Not cow-girls. I love them." Steph wasn’t as negative about the outfit. “The flannel isn’t bad at all. That being said, I agree that it’s not what you’re looking for. It doesn’t give off any exploration vibes. If we had a farm, I’d totally go for it, though.”

  “You’d rock the look, too.” Anna smiled at her.

  “Nah, this was made for you!” Steph threw the compliment back at her.

  “No, my boobs are too big for that.” The princess shook her head while pointing at the mannequin. "If I knot the shirt like that right under my chest and combine it with the unbuttoned neckline, everything will push up and spill out at the top.”

  “That’s the point.” The sisters just stared at her.

  “Okay, fair.” Anna couldn’t really blame them for their reaction. “Well, I’ll join Steph, then. If we ever have a farm, I’ll give it a try.”

  “Sis, let’s make a farm in your domain!” The dog-girl immediately stared at the blonde with her puppy eyes. "A whole ranch!”

  “You know, that’s the one thing I’ve always wanted there ever since I unlocked my domain.”

  “Is that so?” Judging by the tone of her voice, the princess didn’t necessarily believe her for some reason.

  “Absolutely!”

  “You two are something else.” Anna just rolled her eyes.

  “Alright, putting my second-favorite type of cowgirl aside for the time being, the one that doesn’t involve toys, what kind of style were you looking for again?” Steph looked at her sister.

  “Let’s see…” Sophia looked around to see if there was a shirt she liked on display somewhere. “That one’s super cute!” She pointed at a mannequin wearing a dark pink shirt with short but relatively wide sleeves. The shirt had a regular round neck that showed no cleavage, but it was knotted together on one side to reveal a bit of stomach just up above the display’s belly button. It was paired with a pair of white cargo shorts, but the blonde didn’t care about that part. “Cargos are good for pockets, but as I have unlimited storage, I don’t care about that!” She shrugged while thinking about her domain. “The shirt is perfect, though!”

  “Oh, it really is adorable!” Anna agreed with her. “I like how it’s tied up a little with the side knot. It gives off a cheeky feeling, which is a perfect fit for you!”

  “I do be cheeky at times.” The shorter tiger nodded. “I think it would work perfectly with the shorts from the cowgirl-look mannequin!”

  “True, that should look great together.” Steph thought so, too.

  “The lime-colored shirt also looks cute!” The princess pointed at the shelf next to the display.

  “Not quite as nice as the pink, but I’m biased there.” The dog-girl scratched her cheek. “Still, the lime looks good! The white one doesn’t look bad, either.”

  “Yay for choices!” Sophia lightly clapped her hands before she grabbed a pair of the shorts she liked and the three differently colored shirts they just talked about.

  With the clothes on her arm, she went into the changing room Steph had used earlier to try everything on. She started out by combining the new shorts with the white shirt her sister had suggested, as she was the least thrilled about it. Naturally, she had also gotten rid of her beloved red argyle tights because they would clash with the rest of the outfit.

  “Mhm.” Steph mustered the blonde. “You have great legs, sis!” She liked the shorts.

  “The leg fetish runs in the family, huh?” Anna just stared at the two. “She’s not wrong, though. I already thought so last year when you had that other pair of shorts. In fact, both sisters are blessed in that regard. I thank both of you for choosing shorts once more.”

  "Ahaha." Both had the same reaction to the remark of the princess. “The leg fetish runs in this group.” Steph just had to mention it.

  This text was taken from Royal Road. Help the author by reading the original version there.

  “I can’t refute that.” The tall tiger shrugged in response. “That aside, I’m not entirely sure about the white shirt.” She focused on Sophia and the slightly oversized shirt that had its lower third tied into a knot on its side to reveal a bit of the blonde’s stomach, just enough to show her belly button. "Don't get me wrong, the best kind of tummy is an exposed tummy. I love tummies, but it might be lacking contrast. You're surprisingly fair-skinned for someone as active and outdoorsy as you are, and your blonde hair is quite light, too, so a pure white shirt might be slightly lacking. The pullover you wear at least has the differently colored shoulder part, which made it work there.”

  “Our fashion critic here has a point.” Steph had to agree with her. “It’s still cute, though. I’d say it’s okay to wear every now and then, at the very least when lounging around at home.”

  “For that, it really doesn’t matter.” Anna nodded. “For at home, as long as you wear anything at all, it's fine, and it's whatever."

  “I’d say that even that’s optional.” The dog-girl gave her a cheeky grin.

  “I know that you feel and act that way. We’ve been living together for a while already, after all.” The princess rolled her eyes.

  “Alright, I’ll try the lime one.” Sophia ignored them and closed the curtain of the changing room once more.

  “Ohh, the green looks so good on you!” Seeing the blonde in the new color, Anna lightly clapped her hands. “You definitely should get that one, too.”

  “What she said.” Steph thought so, too. “It highlights your eyes! It’s a different, darker green, but that makes the effect even stronger!”

  “Yay~.” Sophia was happy to hear that. “I’ve always liked green, so that’s perfect! I still want to try on the pink one, though. I think that’s my favorite.” Saying so, Sophia disappeared into the changing room again.

  “That’s definitely the one!” The dog-girl gave her sister two thumbs up after she presented herself wearing the pink shirt with the denim shorts. “It’s not just because I’m biased towards the color, too!”

  “I think so, too!” Anna nodded. “The other two, especially the green one, were also nice, but this is just perfect! The pink definitely should be your default!”

  “Mhm!” Feeling happy about their praise, the blonde took a good look at herself in the mirror next to her. “Yeah, it’s super cute! I was a little worried that pink wouldn’t work on me because it’s too cute, but it seems alright!”

  “The heck?” Steph and Anna got visibly confused.

  “What’s with that reaction?!”

  “You’re like the second-cutest girl in our group! By a big margin, too!” The princess stared at her. “Speaking about visuals, at least.”

  "Yeah!" The dog-girl also just looked at her. "You're only beaten by Chloe in terms of cuteness! Visually speaking, at least.” She had to add the same disclaimer as Anna.

  “…” She started blushing in return. “Wait, what’s the second part about?!” Sophia then got loud.

  “Exactly.” The duo just smiled at her and the bratty reaction she had.

  “Grr.”

  “Anyway, it’s my turn!” Anna changed the topic. “Sophia got her new outfit, so I’m the only one left!”

  "Sure." The blonde gave up. "There were denim skirts in the area where I got my shorts. Was there anything that fits your idea?"

  “Yup!” The tall tiger nodded while pointing at the mannequin next to the one that inspired Sophia. “This one looks great!” It was wearing a dark blue denim skirt in the same color as Sophia's new shorts. It was a higher skirt and covered all the way up and over the belly button of the display. The skirt was combined with a black belt and boots, as well as a black and white spaghetti top.

  “It’s so short!” Sophia raised her voice again. While the upper part of the skirt went quite high, the lower part, the important one, only went down enough to cover the necessities and nothing more. “I like that you can admire all of the legs, but is that okay?” As the blonde was in a clinch with skirts for this very reason, she had her doubts about its practicality.

  “That’s the best part!” Steph disagreed with her sister.

  “It seems fine to me, too.” Anna also didn’t see an issue. “It being so short makes moving in it super easy, and I’m a princess, so accidentally revealing too much isn’t an issue for me.”

  “What does that have to do with being a princess?!” The blonde only got louder. “Are there some rules in this world I don’t know about yet?!”

  "No, but I've received training on how to move in a skirt elegantly and without risk of accidents ever since I’ve been a kid.” She smiled at her. "I don't care about elegance, but it still works~."

  “You had a skirt teacher?!”

  “Yup.” Anna just nodded. “Ari and I attended those lessons together. Well, it was a teacher for etiquette, but that's pretty much the same.”

  “Wow.” Sophia had nothing else to say.

  “Alright, I love the skirt, but the spaghetti top isn’t doing it for me.” The princess took another look at the mannequin. “I wonder if I can find anything better, though.”

  “What about that one?” Steph looked around before pointing at a display a little away from them. It was a top that roughly resembled a black sports bra for the general shape. It seemed a little more padded and less revealing, so it could be used as an outdoors top. The back was almost fully closed, as well. The top was a two-piece, as well. Above the black part, covering parts of the shoulder and collarbone area, there was a white piece of fabric going below the mannequin's arms. To add some spice, there was a small area between those two parts that revealed a bit of cleavage.

  “That looks great!” Sophia reacted first. "It's definitely sporty and cool. It seems supportive, too, which would help a lot. It's perfect for the adventurer princess look!”

  “I like it!” Anna was a fan, too. “The two-tone is great, and it seems like it’s made for girls that have more going on! Just what I need. Let me go and try it on!” Saying so, the princess quickly grabbed the top and skirt in her size and disappeared into the changing room the sisters had already used before.

  “Ohh!” Once she stepped out of it, Sophia and Steph clapped their hands. “This is perfect!”

  “Ehehe~.” Anna was happy about their reaction. “It’s super comfy, too! The top even doubles as a sports bra, as it's extra padded and has supportive areas integrated into the fabric on the inside so that you don't have to wear a regular one below it for maximum ease of movement and comfort!”

  “The top is amazing!” The dog-girl stared for a little longer. “Also, big! You really are at the top of our group." She sounded a little regretful while thinking about someone else. “Well, Chloe is still the cutest, and that’s the most important visual trait, so it’s fine~.”

  “Yeah, it looks great.” Sophia ignored her sister and gave the fellow tiger a thumbs up. “The skirt fits you very well, too. The whole outfit is spicy, comfy-looking, adventurous, but not cheap at all!”

  Afterward, the princess tried on two more versions of the top, one with the black and white colors reversed and another one that was pink instead of white to have an extra cute variant after being pushed by the sisters to give it a test. She decided on getting all three versions in the end, and the trio headed over to the counter to pay for their spoils as they had gotten everything they came for.
