The employee guided them to the dressing room, this was a high-end store so they had private rooms for the clients, Aster saw a lot of girls trying on clothes some of them even looked at him but after seeing his innocent expression they thought it was just a little boy apanying his rtives.


    "Ughh thank God I still look like a kid or this would have been apletely different situation", he thought.


    Once they reached their designated dressing room Aster sat on a bench in front of the door of the room and waited while Alice and Aria talked with the employee about what they wanted to try.


    After a moment the employee brought clothes ording to what they have requested and both of them entered the dressing room, Aster was curious about them sharing the dressing room.


    Alice saw Aria directing apetitive gaze to her so as soon as they entered the dressing room, they both started to change for what they choose and as if they were racing to be first, they opened the door and shouted to Aster at the same time.


    "How do I look?"


    Aster saw Alice wearing a pure white short-sleeved summer dress that was only long enough to cover five centimeters above her knees and Aria using a more conservative white dress with blue flowers stamped on it.


    Aster was in awe he thought they looked like fairies; it actually took him a moment to wake up from his trance to answer.


    "You both look really good."


    Aster saw that inparison with Aria, Alice was missing something so he looked in his spatial ring and took out a little ck box before approaching her.


    "I have a present for you sis I was going to give it to youter but seeing you in that dress made me change my n".


    He then opened the box and just like he did with Aria he put a ring on Alice''s left hand ring finger, the difference was that the design was more ording to Alice personality, the stone was quite special Aster found it on the Ghale family store and when he saw it, he immediately bought it, it was rare gem called "imperial topaz" a precious stone of a peculiar honey-like golden color which reminded Aster of his sister''s hair color.


    Watching Alice marvel at the ring, he knew that he made the right decision to buy that gem but then he felt Aria''s aggrieved look so to avoid having an angry beauty with him, he decided to take advantage of Alice''s good mood to make amends with Aria.


    "Sis, this is a gift I prepared for you, it represents that you are special to me, however let me tell you that Aria is wearing a ring made by me just like the one I gave you, so try to be friendly with each other for my sake, ok"?


    Alice wanted to argue but she saw Aster serious expression and then she turned to see Aria who had aplex look on her face, she sighed and extended her left hand.


    "My little brother really considers you as his friend and for me he is the most important person in the world so I''m willing to try and be friendly with you, who knows maybe after we spend more time together, we will be close enough to call each other sisters", Alice nced at Aster when she said that.


    Aria extended her left hand to ept the handshake and she looked at her ring that was obviously designed to be part of the same set as the one that Alice was wearing, she felt weird, after all the only time she tried to befriend a girl, she turned out to be working for some guy that wanted to marry her.


    "I guess we are on the same boat" she told to Alice while she smiled.


    In more ways than what you believe thought Alice but she just smiled and nodded.


    Aster was enjoying seeing the portrait of two beautiful smiling fairies but he had to interrupt the moment because he heard the employee of the store getting close to the dressing room.


    "Okdies go and change back while I pay for the dresses"


    While they changed back to their normal clothes, the employee asked.


    "Were the dresses fit to your liking dear customer?"


    "Yes, we will take them", he paid for both of the dresses, the employee happily received the money and left followed by Alice.


    Once Alice returned, Aster saw her ncing at him but he didn''t pay attention to that.


    "Well, my two beautifuldies how about we go to that restaurant now?"


    Aria was a bit ashamed after all she originally didn''t want to buy clothes but she didn''t want to lose to Alice and Aster ended up paying for her dress.


    Wait it''s like I''m having a date with him!!! She thought.


    Aster saw Aria suddenly shaking her head.


    "Aria? What''s the problem?"


    Hearing Aster''s voice she came out of her trance.


    ? "Nothing, let''s go to eat".


    The three of them left the store and walked for about 10 minutes until they reached the entrance of the restaurant, Aster saw that the ground floor of the restaurant was full so he first decided to ask Aria if they didn''t need a reservation or something like that.


    "Are you sure we don''t need a reservation? looks like there are not free tables anymore"


    Aria smiled and answered


    "Don''t worry, the owner lent me her token so we can use the private room reserved for her on the restaurant".


    Heh looks like she really wanted toe with us Aster thought.


    After getting her confirmation they approached the hostess that was in charge of attending the people that wanted to enter the restaurant.


    Before saying anything, they heard a woman''s annoyed voice.


    "Hey why are you skipping the line?"
