It'd be great if we could decorate the stage to look like a castle with lots of gorgeous effects. I don't think that's possible, though.

It will be hard to do too many large-scale effects. However, you should definitely make it feel like the stage is inside a castle.

I know! What if we make a huge window? An ornate one like in a castle, or a stained glass window could work too.

I see! A big window and a huge chair to look like a royal throne. That should bring out a nice castle feel.

Hey, You. About the stage props…

Sorry, can you give me just a second?

My apologies! Looks like you're in the middle of sewing.

I am, but I was still listening. I wanna help make the window too.

Okay… Now all that's left is the finishing touches.

I'm almost done with the three princess dresses! Everyone's going to look perfect in their costumes.

Sorry for leaving everything to you when it came to the outfits. It wasn't too much trouble, was it?

I wouldn't say it was any trouble at all. It's been a really valuable experience! And I'm really happy that I made something I'm satisfied with myself.

Oh, wow! It really looks like something a princess would wear!

It's so beautiful! You, this is just what I'd expect from you!

You couldn't buy a dress this beautiful in any shop! Did you come up with the design yourself?

I took some inspiration from a few photo collections I borrowed from Maki, as well as some fashion history books, and made a lot of tweaks and adjustments.

So you can make such gorgeous dresses just by tweaking them bit by bit, huh? I can't wait to put mine on!

…

Riko, are you worried about something?

Ah, um, it's just that while I think the dresses are going to look great on you two, I'm so plain that I'm not sure I can pull it off.

Don't say that, Riko. You'll make the poor dress sad.

The dress…will be sad, you say?

Yes. The dress has been looking forward to being worn by a cute girl like Riko, so it'd be so sad to hear her say something like, “I'm sorry I'm so plain.”

That's how the dress feels, huh?

Karin… I think you're right.

It's a lovely dress made just for me by You.

I hope I can act a little more princess-like, so I don't do this dress a disservice.

Riko. I don't think you realize it, but that dress really suits you.

You think so?

I do! You both have such a refined elegance… So it's really perfect for you.

*Giggle* Like a cloistered maiden?

I made this dress specifically for you, Riko! I am POSITIVE it'll look good on you, so don't worry.

I agree with everyone else. Riko, let's get you looking at yourself in a more positive light.

Aww, guys… Thank you! I'll take it one step at a time until I'm filling out the dress perfectly on-stage!
