Chapter 1

[Courtyard]

Chloe: ...Alrighty, that's done. It's kind of a lot, but I think it'll all dry before evening.

It was all muggy and rainy for a while, and now the sun's finally shown its face. Makes you wanna do every last bit of laundry while you can.

No matter how fashionable your outfit is, it's all a waste if it's dirty. ...Okay, lookin' good!

Wah! Wind?!

(The clothes are gonna get blown away!)

...Ouch. I just had to land on my face, of all things. ...Ah! The laundry!

...Here it is. Phew, thank goodness you're safe. You're one-of-a-kind, you know.

Ah, Shylock!

Shylock: ......

Chloe: (A-Am I imagining things...? He's staring at me so hard...)

Um... What's up?

Shylock: ...This may be quite unrelated, but, Chloe... What on earth were you doing?

Chloe: Huh? Uh, just now, I was trying to hang up the laundry, but then this wind blew it all off, so I was, y'know, trying to catch it...

Shylock: I see. ...*sigh*

Chloe, come here for a moment.

Chloe: Wh—huh?

Shylock: Come with me.

[Lounge]

Shylock: Wait there for a moment, if you will.

Chloe: (What's going on? Did I... do something wrong?!)


Chapter 2

[Lounge]

Shylock: My apologies for the wait. ...Oh my, were you standing all this time? Please, sit down.

Chloe: O-Okay.

Shylock: No need to be so nervous. I won't bite... yet.

Chloe: "Yet"?!

Shylock: I jest. Excuse me, could you turn your face this way?

Chloe: (He's wiping my face...?)

Shylock: Rouge and powder make fine cosmetics, but I wouldn't consider dirt an accessory.

Chloe: Ah... I got my face dirty when I fell.

Shylock: I admire your will to treasure your clothing, but I beg you, look into a mirror. Your hair is a mess.

Chloe: What? It is?

Shylock: Stay still, or the comb will snag.

Chloe: But...

Shylock: Be a good boy, now. Just let it happen.

Chloe: (Yeah, but I just can't... It feels weird to be doted on so much~!)

Shylock: ...Goodness, so it's not only your face, but your clothes that have gotten dirty. Shall I wash them for you?

Chloe: Th-Thank you. But I'm fine...!

Shylock: ...Fufu. He sure scurried away.
