Chapter 348: 15 year old Inglis and the Prisma Battle (26)
"R-Ripple?! I thought you were returning tomorrow—" Eris exclaimed in surprise.
"Well, things wrapped up quicker than expected~~ Turns out there wasn't as much damage as anticipated—and when I heard everyone was here, I couldn't resist… Ohhh?! What's this, Eris?! You're wearing a dress!" Ripple's eyes widened with excitement.
"W-Well, they suggested it, so… I… um…" Eris stuttered, feeling a little self-conscious.
"Ooh~! It looks great on you, Eris! Very nice!" Ripple grinned and approached Eris, inspecting her dress and giving her playful pokes.
"It's a special occasion, after all. It's the first time we can properly celebrate defeating a Prisma… It's just surprising that you're the one stepping out of your comfort zone first instead of me, you know~? Normally, you'd be furious about it and say, ‘This is not the time!' or something," Ripple teased.
"E-Enough…! It's special this time—really special…" Eris responded.
"Well, you're right. But since I'm such a serious gal, I'll stick to my uniform. Ah~ I wish I could dress up and have fun at the party too," Ripple sighed.
As Ripple spoke, Eris smirked.
"You said it… Girls, let's make her wish come true!" Eris declared.
