"Woke up?"

Miss Herta saw Sera walk out of the room and gave her a malicious smile, but quickly concealed it.

"Come with me, your clothes were finished last night."

"Um."

Sera didn't say much, but calmly followed Herta to the dressing room on the first floor. No. 0 had handed the clothes over here last night after they were made, but there was no need to rush to change now, since she wasn't going out until the afternoon.

But Sera disliked the idea of not preparing in advance when there was something to do, and then scrambling to make preparations at the last minute.

So he naturally planned to wear it directly, which was not a problem for Sera. The Herta had only prepared women's Xianzhou style clothes, and Sera could even guess what they would look like.

However, to ensure that Miss Herta's 'surprise' for him wouldn't be ruined for nothing, Sera...

"...?"

Recalling what he had seen that was beyond his comprehension, Sera put on the act of an old man, looking at Herta subway and cell phone with a bewildered expression, but a hint of a smile appeared in her eyes.

"Herta, you..."

"What's wrong?"

Miss Herta crossed her arms, her eyes crinkling slightly with a smile, and waved her hand.

"Isn't this perfect for you?"

Miss Herta shifted her gaze slightly upwards, and upon seeing the smile in Sera's eyes, she immediately understood that Sera's current demeanor was an act to amuse her.

"You bastard..."

Miss Herta showed no sign of defeat; she simply sighed softly and shook her head with a hint of helplessness.

"You guessed it, but you still pretended to be funny to tease me."

"After all, this is the first time Herta has prepared such a 'surprise'."

When she spoke of the 'surprise,' Sera emphasized it, her voice brimming with barely suppressed laughter.

"How could I let the Herta prepare for nothing?"

"..."

Miss Herta didn't reply immediately. Instead, she patted the clothes onto Sera, turned her head, and walked towards the door. Only after she reached the door did her voice echo in the room.

"Put them on, I'll go change too."

After saying that, Miss Herta closed the door to the dressing room, but she didn't move. Instead, she leaned against the door, closed her eyes, and seemed to be thinking about something.

"Heh~"

Opening her eyes, Miss Herta chuckled softly and continued walking towards the walk-in closet on the second floor; she needed to prepare in advance.

Sera quickly got dressed, but looked at the extra moon-shaped hair clip and wondered what was going on. So he took the hair clip and sat on the sofa, waiting for the Herta.

Miss Herta had already dressed herself; she was much more skilled at dressing than Sera. Before going out, she was naturally putting on light makeup.

A woman dresses up for the man she loves.

With a few light touches of the eyebrow pencil, Miss Herta changed her eyebrows to one that exuded a slightly gentle and elegant temperament, a choice she made after some thought.

Apply a small amount of lipstick to your fingertip and gently spread it on your lips. Then, lightly press your lips together to blend the color evenly.

Strands of hair twirled around her fingertips, her fingers deftly braiding the hair into the shape of a purple lily, which was then secured with a hairpin made of a real purple lily.

Her hair fell naturally over her shoulders, and her long hair reached her waist. Miss Herta truly looked like a gentle and graceful Xianzhou.

"Hmm~ As expected of me."

Herta looked at himself in the mirror, nodded in satisfaction, and then got up and walked downstairs.

Tap... tap... tap...

The crisp sound of footsteps came from upstairs. Sera turned her head slightly to look, and unsurprisingly, the stunning colors touched Sera cheeks.

Miss Herta smiled as she looked at Sera's expression, paused on the stairs, raised her fingers to her head, gently brushed a strand of hair aside, and slightly opened her mouth.

"How about it?"

"I..."

Her pearly teeth parted slightly, her voice tinged with nervousness, but mostly with anticipation; it was the first time Miss Herta had looked forward to someone else's feelings.

Is it pretty?

"It looks great."

Sera exclaimed in genuine admiration.

"Ms. Herta that could make fish sink and geese fall from the sky, a beauty that could shame the moon and put flowers to shame!"

"Snort."

Miss Herta's smile widened as she slowly walked down the stairs, stood in front of Sera, and picked up the moon hair clip.

"Sit still, I'll put it on you."

"Oh oh."

Sera remained seated upright. After picking up the hair clip, Miss Herta went behind Sera and naturally began to comb Sera's hair with both hands, letting Sera's long, white hair fall casually behind her.

Although Sera's hair was very smooth and didn't need any combing, Miss Herta really liked the feeling of combing Sera's hair, like having a doll that she could dress up as she pleased, with clothes chosen by her from head to toe.

After combing for a while, Herta combed up most of Sera's hair and started to Sera it into a high ponytail. The rest of her hair was naturally combed and placed next to her face to modify her face shape.

After the hair clip was put on, the hairstyle was done. Miss Herta touched Sera's hair before speaking.

Okay.

Sera looked into the mirror, and the white-haired 'fairy' in the mirror met Sera's eyes at the same time. Sera could also see the Miss Herta's smile behind her in the mirror.

Oh, right.

Sera ignored her hairstyle, turned her head to look at the Herta, and asked with some confusion.

"Where's No. 0? We haven't seen her yet."

"No. 0, No. 0 is arranging things right now."

Miss Herta has already sent No. 0 with the dolls to eliminate any potential threats. After all, she and Sera weren't alone this time. It's better to have more people and more fun on Qixi Festival than to clear the area. Although there are no threats that could harm Herta and Sera, she doesn't want her enjoyment of the lantern festival to be ruined by someone.

"Sera, Ms. Herta."

Just as they were talking about No. 0, No. 0 appeared right in front of them.

"Is everything arranged?"

Although it was a question, Miss Herta's voice carried a hint of certainty, since there was little chance of any other unexpected situation unless everything had been arranged.

And that was indeed the case; No. 0 placed his hands in front of him and nodded.

"Yes, Ms. Herta, it's all been taken care of."

As he spoke, No. 0's recording quietly started, focusing on Sera and Herta. No. 0 then adjusted himself to a perfect angle as he walked forward.

"That's fine."

Miss Herta looked up and watched as No. 0 silently adjusted himself to a suitable posture and stood behind Sera. Only after No. 0's expression changed did he walk over and sit down next to Sera.

What No. 0 wanted to do, what she was doing, Miss Herta wasn't stupid enough to not know. But it was just taking pictures, so of course Herta would grant No. 0's wish.

We're going out this afternoon.

Herta looked at Sera and said.

"Hmm? Okay."

Sera had no objections. The morning activities hadn't even started yet; why go out for a stroll?

The event starts in the afternoon, so going out in the afternoon is perfect.
