“Ewugh…”
It wasn’t the most polite noise, she knew that. But Hakuno couldn’t stop herself from cringing at the sight in front of her.
“Well, Praetor, doesn’t this costume show off my stunning beauty? Doesn’t it? These threads bear the song of my artistic mastery!”
Saber’s proud grin filled Hakuno both with swelling affection and creeping dread. It was hard to frown looking at Saber this happy. She truly believed in her own artistic merit, and Hakuno would take that over seeing her Servant in one of her depressed states any day. But…
“It certainly is bold,” is what Hakuno ended up saying.
Somehow, Saber had managed to find the resources around SE.RA.PH to throw together an idol outfit for herself. And it surely was… something. A crisscross of green and orange plaids, covered in hearts and jewels as far as the eye could see. The design was so busy it was straining Hakuno’s eyes. And Hakuno needed her eyes. Because if Saber was dressed in her idol outfit, she was going to start singing, which meant her ears were not long for this world either.
“Isn’t red more of your color?” Hakuno asked. “I thought you’d go with that.”
Twirling around to show off her hoop skirt, Saber replied, “True, stunning crimson does suit me the best, but I thought I’d mix it up for a change! But, I did still miss the red, so I decided to adorn my nails and ears with it instead.”
“I can see that…” She looks like a pumpkin…
Still, the high ponytail was something new, and Hakuno couldn’t deny it was cute. As… unique as the outfit was, it showed off just what she loved about Saber. She freely followed her artistic passions, even if no one else appreciated them. But at least now, someone was there to appreciate her.
“Preator…?” Saber blushed as Hakuno leaned over to kiss her head.
“It suits you.”
