43 - Transmigrated as the Villainess Fake Young Lady, Please Spare Me, Female Lead Sister

**Chapter 43: Goddess of Beautiful Girls** Lafitia held a certain expectation before she opened the door to her etiquette class. After all, during yesterday's dance class, Aurora had surprisingly become more serious, resembling a dedicated teacher for once. Lafitia hoped she would maintain this attitude and teach something more useful in today’s etiquette class. "Cre-eaak—" The door opened. The room was no different than yesterday—still dim with the curtains drawn, the only light being a hazy glow from a floor lamp illuminating a low sofa. Aurora sat on the sofa, legs crossed, striking a pose. The moment the door opened, she suddenly shut her eyes, extended a hand toward it, and muttered in a low voice: "O destined Goddess of Adorable Girls, grant me the eyes to see beauty!" "Fill my eyes, fill them up…!" "I am the achiever of all good deeds in the world, the culmination of all evil. Thou art cloaked in the three great words of power for seven days, wielding the wheel of self-restraint—" "Appear before me, O beautiful girls—!" "??" The two standing at the doorway froze, not daring to move. Lafitia's first reaction was, is this some kind of black magic!? Her expression turned wary instantly. Instinctively, she held her arm out to shield Claire behind her. Claire, meanwhile, felt an oddly familiar tinge in the incantation, as if a beautiful heroine was being summoned to this dimension. The next moment, with a slap sound, the room lights switched on! Under the glaring lights, Aurora suddenly appeared before them, her eyes ablaze with pink heart shapes, as if burning with fervent passion. She held that mysterious notebook again, scribbling something furiously with one hand, so fast it seemed as if the paper might catch fire from friction. Around them, she seemed almost to enclose them, drawing and repositioning herself to admire Lafitia and Claire from various angles, murmuring strange words. "—Thanks to the Goddess of Adorable Girls for fulfilling my wish!" "Thank you, my eyes are completely satisfied!" She seemed quite pleased with Lafitia's instinctive protective gesture toward Claire: "Good, just like that! If you could just snuggle a little closer, that’d be even better, hehehe—" Completely nonsensical. Lafitia furrowed her brows tightly, "Miss Aurora, may I ask what you are doing?" "Why, appreciating beauty, of course!" Aurora replied confidently, without lifting her head, continuing to immerse in her world. "Hmm, perhaps the dress size needs slight adjustments, maybe tightening the waist a bit? Or is it fine as it is?" "Lafitia exudes elegance, the leg and neck accessories are impressive, keep those! As for Claire, maybe try a bolder cut…" "White stockings… very nice, the puff sleeves look too juvenile, perhaps swap them for white lace gloves—" Silently, Claire edged closer to Lafitia, sticking a bit closer. Lafitia's expression grew solemn, adopting a defensive stance against the enthusiastic Aurora. She felt the fuzzy sensation of Claire's little head rubbing against her arm, a tickling feeling. But this time, she didn’t stop it. Perhaps Claire was nervous or frightened. Aurora's inexplicable behavior would frighten anyone. And she's supposed to be teaching etiquette... doesn’t she see how rude she is? Feeling displeased, Lafitia held Claire a little more protectively and allowed her small gestures. What small gestures, you ask? Lafitia's cloak draped over her shoulders was quite large, the hem long, and when she raised her arm, the cloak spread open, forming a small secure space. And petite Claire, bending slightly, could slip inside… It wasn't intentional—she wasn't trying to share the same cloak with her sister! It's just that… it was convenient. In this position, Claire could distinctly smell the fragrance from Lafitia’s hair tips. She could also see her sister’s smooth back, the exquisite dress tailoring around her underarms and side waist… The familiar scent of roses permeated around them. ...She indeed used the same bath salt. But why? It always felt like the scent left by Lafitia after use was much more pleasing than the one on her own body. Warmer, cozier, almost mixed with a hint of cool hyacinth fragrance. It was the same bath salt, how magical… With her head down, Claire quietly withstood Aurora's increasingly fervent gaze under Lafitia's protection. However, managing one side, she still had the other to deal with. Sure enough, the system had something to say. 『Host, why are you so close to the protagonist? You're supposed to be the big villain! How come you're not playing your role!?』 Claire smoothly explained, "It's mainly due to uncontrollable circumstances, this teacher is too scary, there’s no other way!" "Also, when in front of her, you need to switch to subtitle mode, did you forget?" System: 『……』 Subtitle: 『Understood.』 Behaved. Not bad, Claire almost started to enjoy the etiquette class. After all, she completely understood that this vampire teacher, though seemingly decent and occasionally intimidating, actually had a very approachable hobby… And that was, enjoying the sight of girls being close. Lafitia might dislike Aurora, but Claire thought this hobby was excellent! Because now, she could openly snuggle with her sister, unlike yesterday when she was treated coldly, without worrying about lowering affection points. And better yet, in Aurora's presence, the system was forced to switch to silent mode! With the system zipped up, her mind felt so much more peaceful, what a relief… Aurora's frenetic state didn’t last long. Under Lafitia's icy gaze assault, Aurora quickly realized the importance of getting back on track. Taking a deep breath, she donned her eye-concealing glasses, coughed, and announced her return to normalcy. "Cough, cough, apologies for my behavior." Quite the demonstration of self-restraint. Lafitia coolly assessed her, slightly lowering her guard. Claire also sensibly retreated from beneath Lafitia's cloak. Aurora (serious mode) cleared her throat and said, "Before we start today’s lesson, there's something we need to do." "After all, you know, tailoring and improving the dress size is a crucial part of our task. If there's a delay, and we can’t make it to the ball in four days, it’d be a disaster." "Hence, today I need your assistance to provide some necessary data." "...Data?" Claire blinked. A foreboding feeling crept in… Aurora nodded, magically pulling out a seamstress's measuring tape, tossing it up and down in her hands, "Exactly." —"Your body measurements, to be precise." "Though teacher, I am a seasoned designer, able to gauge roughly by eye…" "But for proper fitting, precise measurements are essential, repeated adjustments necessary." "What you're wearing now is only the initial version, acceptable at a glance, but adjustments are needed across various aspects. Measurement is indispensable." Claire blinked in surprise as Aurora suddenly produced two high-quality parchment sheets. She walked over, handing one to Claire and one to Lafitia, each receiving an accompanying quill. The parchment was filled with elegantly styled English… uh. Couldn’t quite make it out. The system helpfully translated: 『Neck circumference, shoulder width, bust width, bust circumference, distance between breasts, waist circumference, hip circumference…』 Claire was stunned. That… that detailed? Aurora adjusted her glasses and pulled out a whiteboard from the shadow, slapping on it what seemed a tailor’s measurement diagram. "1. Neck circumference: Measure the length around the neck via the shoulder-neck point, back neck point, and neck hollow point. Also understood as: the circumference around the base of the neck." "2. Shoulder width: The practical length across the body surface from the left shoulder end point via the 7th cervical vertebra point (midpoint) to the right shoulder end point…" She went on to detail how to measure bust, waist, and hip circumference. Not only was the description detailed, but realistic illustrations were provided as well… In the top right corner: 《Even Dummies Can Understand: Measurement Methods ~ Let’s Make Clothes Together!》 “How about that, clear enough?” Aurora clapped her hands cheerfully, "Now, we can start measuring!" Claire’s ominous premonition fulfilled. “You mean, we measure each other?” “Of course. The teacher is busy, after all.” Aurora said gravely, "For example, now, I need to capitalize on my burst of inspiration to optimize my designs. Quickly measure each other, fill the data, and call me when done!" With a flick of her wrist, she tossed the measuring tape over. Lafitia raised her hand and caught it flawlessly. Then, holding the tape, she and Claire exchanged glances, falling simultaneously into shared silence. What is this? This is supposed to be etiquette class, yet suddenly they must measure each other's sizes, or something like that… Lafitia lowered her gaze to look at Claire, who seemed to be wavering, her eyes darting around uncertainly. Lafitia was the type to tackle challenges head-on and solve the toughest tasks with determination. ...Given the situation, it's best to get this over with quickly. She took the initiative and said, "Miss Claire, let me measure all your data first. Then you can measure mine. Let's finish this as soon as possible."
