Ah... you know I think you're really beautiful, Maria-sama! If we could go higher than 10, I don't know where I'd stop...

[Zero romantic crushing here, but maybe a tiny admiration crush. ... Okay, a giant admiration crush.]

[declamando]

[That's rather high praise, and Maria can't really help but smile gently at it.]

Then maybe it's better that we just keep it at ten. It's very flattering either way, thank you.

[thirdbeauty]

Yeah... you're welcome...

[Cue the blushing intensifying a little bit more.]

I was actually hoping you might give me some tips sometime... when we're not busy.

[declamando]

[It speaks to how unused to the role of god Maria still is that she looks a little surprised at the proposition, though it settles soon enough into something warmer.]

Whenever I find work, I was actually planning to suggest we go out shopping together. I think it'd be a lot of fun for both of us.

[thirdbeauty]

[Her eyes go so wide for a moment, and a smile grows across her lips. Shopping with an actual idol! She'd learn so much!]

Y-Yes! I'd love to!

When you're ready, of course...

[declamando]

[At least Natsuru looks excited. If anything, it just gives Maria more reason to put getting a job a little higher on her priorities list.]

It shouldn't be too long, I hope. I've already put it off rather a while.

[thirdbeauty]

[She's so excited! And now looking a little sheepish.]

I always wanted to ask you... but I didn't want to be a bother...

[declamando]

Oh, it's not a bother. I mean, I have to get out shopping sometime anyway, right?

[Maria wouldn't mind going out of her way to go with her anyway, but she figures this reasoning will probably go down better with Natsuru right now.]

[thirdbeauty]

I guess that's true...

[She really doesn't like to impose, so much that she tends to err on the side of caution. Maria's reassurances help, though!]

And it's better having someone to go with than going alone.

[declamando]

Exactly. We can ask each other how we look then. [It's mostly a joke, from the look on Maria's face, but that doesn't mean it's not accurate still.]

[thirdbeauty]

[She softly chuckles, and yet her reply comes out sounding more sincere than joking along.]

I don't think I could imagine you looking bad in anything!

[They might be close to the same height and build, but in Natsuru's mind they're still worlds apart.]

[declamando]

Well, I could say the same of you. [Maria's still smiling a little as she says it, but it's more genuine than amused now. It is true that she currently can't imagine Natsuru not looking good in something, but beyond that the statement just seems like something she could do with hearing.]

[thirdbeauty]

[It's... definitely nice to hear. Especially from someone she already admires so much.]

Still... it'd be nice to get your opinions, too...

Maybe find some things we wouldn't normally try...

[declamando]

Well, that's part of the fun, isn't it? [Maria's arsenal is fairly broad given her previous occupation, but that just makes finding new things even more of a pleasant surprise.]

[thirdbeauty]

I think so! It was even fun having Kainé there when I was looking at lingerie.

[Something she definitely has not told Maria about, since it happened before they met. Rationally, she knows she probably shouldn't be embarrassed over something like that, but she still can't stop herself from blushing again. Or still. It's not like she's ever stopped blushing in this conversation.]

[declamando]

[On one hand, Maria does definitely look surprised at that - but on the other, it's definitely not anything negative, and after a moment, she even smiles.]

I'm glad you were confident enough to shop for something like that with someone else. Not everyone is.

[thirdbeauty]

[Even Natsuru can tell it's not a bad kind of surprised. She even feels a little proud that Maria would say something like that! Nervous as she was at the time, she did handle it pretty well once she and Kainé got talking, didn't she?]

Well... it was where we met. It kind of just happened.

[declamando]

Well, you still could've chosen not to stay with her. If she was a stranger at the time, it makes it more noteworthy.

[After all, having someone completely random with you while shopping for something that by nature is meant to show off your body takes some level of self-confidence.]

[thirdbeauty]

Yeah, I guess.

[Just take the praise, Natsuru. You shopped for intimates with a new friend without melting into a puddle of awkward goo! Maybe one day that occasional confidence really will fully take root!]
