Chapter 108: Commercial mutual flattery
After lunch, Reiner showed Elise around the school.
The Star Observation Tower had long been completed. Now every Thursday evening, Reiner would take all students to the Star Observation Tower for astrology-related learning. Although the world also had constellations, it was not similar to the earth starry sky in Reiner's memory. It was completely different, and the legends and myths were also very different.
Currently, the school was repairing a botanical garden. In the past, almost all the magic materials of school were purchased from outside, the price was expensive, the quality was not guaranteed, and some materials could not even be purchased. After the botanical garden was built, he could start to cultivate his own magic plants. It would not only reduce the school's operating costs but also train students' hands-on ability.
Reiner felt like he was with a curious kid. Elise was curious about everything about Luna Nova Magical Academy and kept asking various questions along the way.
In the afternoon, the two who returned to the principal's office to rest met Dana.
Dana had an elemental magic class today, so she didn't rush over until four o'clock after the class finished. She was very excited and shouted eagerly as soon as she stepped into the principal's office.
"Mr. Reiner, where is that designer?"
She glanced around the principal's office. Except for a handsome man, she didn't see the legendary shop owner of the afternoon tea party, so she showed a confused expression again.
"Hello, I am the owner of the afternoon tea party, Elise Sophi Net."
Elise shrugged, stood up a little helplessly, and introduced himself.
"Eeeh! You, you are the Miss Sophi Net who has won the best costume design award in the Kingdom of Aster three times! "
Dana hadn't reacted yet, and subconsciously thought that Elise was dressed in men's clothing.
"It is Mr. Sophi Net, Miss Dana, he is a man."
Reiner looked at Dana's expression somewhat amused, and it seemed that he was not the only one who was shocked.
"Oh, it turned out to be Mr. Sophi Net... wait, wait, a man?"
Dana reacted slowly, and when she understood the meaning of Reiner's words, she gasped in shock.
"How, how is this possible? Last year, the girly-like dress called the Horoscope Cat, which turned the twelve constellations in the sky into cat patterns on the skirt, was actually designed by a man?"
"Yes, it was designed by me. My design inspiration is exactly those touching constellation stories and the cat elements that girls like. To be honest, I didn't expect it to be so popular."
Elise replied with a smile, seeming to have shattered Dana's worldview.
"I heard that you designed this school uniform, but I didn't expect you to be so young."
He said again, looking up and down at Dana, who was wearing a short skirt in a sailor suit.
"Uh, I just did a little bit of modification... The main ideas were still Mr. Reiner's."
After being praised, Dana was a little shy.
"This kind of design is very bold, but maybe only young people can come up with this idea, especially the idea of incorporating sailor's clothing into a dress. It is really wonderful. You are very talented. If you are trained systematically, you will have a great future in the field of fashion design!"
Elise continued, making Dana feel even more embarrassed.
"In front of Miss... Mr. Sophi Net... I'm nowhere near being talented. You didn't take over your family business until three years ago, but the anecdote that you became famous in one fell swoop has surprised everyone."
Dana seemed to know a lot about Elise's story. Perhaps the magazines she read also introduced the stories of various designers, but it seemed that the article Dana read never mentioned Elise's gender.
"It was just a little bit of luck. Compared to real master designers, I still have a lot to learn. For example, the design of your school uniforms, I think, is beyond the previous design ideas and is worth studying."
Elise was very humble and couldn't help but admire the uniforms of Luna Nova Magical Academy.
"If I can, I also want to put it on and try it."
"Eh! Miss... Mr. Sophi Net... you would also try on your own designed clothes?"
Dana's eyes widened. It was obvious that she had never seen a drag queen before.
"Don't underestimate him, he is no worse than other girls when he puts on a skirt."
Rainer nodded and said. He was a little curious about how Elise would look when he put on the Luna Nova Magical Academy uniform, so he instigated him vigorously.
"Dana, I think you still have a few spares, right? So it's better to give them to Mr. Sophi Net to study the design."
"O, okay!"
Being able to get the approval of the designer she admired, Dana was naturally very happy. She ran back to the dormitory and took the two sets of school uniforms that she had made before. Her speed was so fast that it made people wonder if they used any spells.
Reiner generously provided a lounge next to the principal's room for Elise to change clothes. Then he and Dana waited enthusiastically for him to return to the principal's office.
It didn't take long for them to see Elise, who had put on the sailor suit of the Luna Nova Magical Academy, appear in front of them.
Compared to the average girl, Elise's figure was taller, making this sailor suit appear to be a little small. It was small enough to reveal her slim waist and slender legs. However, this made her look like a young and lively female student even more.
"Mhm, I have never tried this kind of short skirt. It's a bit chilly."
Elise showed a little troubled and shy expression. He pressed the hem of the short skirt with his hand and gently turned his body. The skirt was fluttering, but it was not enough to show everything.
"This is awesome!"
Dana felt that Elise in front of her had a completely different temperament from Claire when she tried on at the time. If Claire was a shy and reserved literary girl at the time, then Elise was a lively and youthful athletic girl, and both of them set off this set of clothes very beautifully.
"It's a pity it's a man."
Reiner sighed and shook his head helplessly.
"What are you talking about, Mr. Reiner, as long as it is cute, it doesn't matter if he is a boy!"
Dana's eyes were sparkling. In her opinion, Elise was really a wonderful model. She had countless ideas at the moment, and she really wanted Elise to dress them all.
"Haha, your name is Dana, right? What an interesting little girl."
Elise smiled. Matching it with this school uniform, her smile was as warm as the sun. He stretched out his hand, stroked Dana's head, and then said.
"I am very optimistic about your future. If you want, I can let you use your leisure time to study in the afternoon tea."
"Re, really?"
Dana couldn't hold back her excitement. It was a paradise that the girls of the entire Aster Kingdom dreamed of. She didn't expect to be able to study there. If it was a month ago, she wouldn't even dare to think about it!
Just as they were chatting noisily, a head popped in from the door of the principal's office.
"Why is it so noisy here?"
Claire looked at the three people in the office in confusion
