Princess of
Scandinavia. Once her second name, but in this world she was the
princess of Himekaizen, or maybe empress was a better expression. She
wasn't neither petite nor cute in the preferred way of a Japanese
high school princess.
Yeah, empress
it is, she thought when reminded of the task ahead of her.
What Ulf asked of
her was far beyond anything that could decently be requested from a
high school girl, but that wasn't what he had done, was it? For once
he didn't look at her with love in his eyes and she understood how he
spoke with the billion dollar empress instead of his 'little Ina'. It
hurt a little, and it made her immensely proud of him.
As long as he
understands he can't use the rest of them this way, she thought,
but it was already too late for that. Sooner or later some of them
would break, and they would resent him because they were unable to
live up to his expectations.
But you don't
really care. Your reputation will suffer because they think you're
after personal glory. It had to be done, and all because of her.
I shouldn't have started the Uniclo circus. Ulf please don't hate
me for it!
“Hangers six
and seven further back and to the left.”
Christina watched
how two more metal frames moved closer to the exit. Try it on.
Fifteen minutes of fame. More like fifteen seconds, but adding an
ad-hoc fashion show to the football field should secure a lot of
guests in one place when the school got crammed beyond capacity.
Five hundred,
maybe six, she thought. Perhaps the best of the crazy ideas he
had come up with, and it still wouldn't be enough. She smiled to
herself. You try so hard even when you know it won't suffice.
There were
rumours about him. The magician they called him, and 'they' included
teachers as well.
“OK, crew, team
one stay here and prepare the planned show. Team two follow me!” If
you want me to run two shows I'll make them both better than the one
we planned.
Today would put
her to the test. Without any professionals by her side she'd try to
surpass Ulf's insane expectations. She owed him that much. She loved
him that much.
