Even though I had planned to go out dressed up again the next night, Linda was on duty and there was no way we could leave. This was actually the best possible outcome, so I had no complaints. The night after that it rained, so of course we couldn't go out…
The next day I spent a restless time. Of course there was history and magic class in the morning, and in the afternoon I continued working at the accounting bureau. The accounting bureau job was no longer a need for pocket money (I had received a polite letter saying Browning-sensei was too busy to supervise me even if I came). But out of habit I enjoyed working surrounded by the older sisters, and I secretly hoped the sweet moment would come again someday. Christine's skirt was especially tempting today.
