I Have Tamed a Spider Monster - Chapter 182 (Patreon)

Graduation Party (2)
Kou’s Point of View
After finishing the dance, I joined my parents and informed them about my dance partner.
Father and Mother agreed that Young lord Vic was indeed the best candidate.
From a noble faction perspective, we belong to the same faction, our territories are not far apart, and their governance is good.
It seems like forming an alliance with the Duke McFarlane family is a wise decision.
The only issue is whether they are willing to send Young lord Vic as a groom.

After exchanging information, I changed into another dress.
This time, it's the last dress made by Lily, a mermaid-line dress.
This dress was even more revealing of my body's lines than the previous ones, making me feel embarrassed, but Lily, Father, Mother, and even the servants all assured me, saying, "It suits your well-shaped body perfectly."
According to Lily, it's a dress that looks better on tall and slim women.
Indeed, it might be perfect for me, being tall for a woman and having a well-toned body.

When I returned to the party venue after changing, Young lord Vic was looking at me.
Did I do something noticeable?
Young lord Vic approached me, so I greeted him.

"Young lady Kou, you’ve changed your dress. This dress too... well, it looks really great on you."

"Thank you, Young lord Vic. Aren't you going to dance anymore?"

"Hmm? Oh, I've already danced with those I needed to. Women who genuinely want to associate with someone like me with such a scar are usually after money or power."

It seems Young lord Vic has quite a low self-esteem.
I don't think that's the case.
His smiling face is very gentle.

"More importantly, Young lady Kou, aren't you going to dance anymore?"

"Yes, I'm done dancing. This dress, unlike the previous one, has no special features."

"I see. However, I was surprised by the mechanism of the previous dress. It spread wide when you took a large step, and returned to normal as if nothing had happened when you took a step back."

"Even so, there are limits to how much it can spread. It took a lot of effort to step correctly within those limits."

"I can imagine. But both this dress and the previous one, and even the one at the graduation ceremony, were all beautiful. Are they made by your family's personal dressmaker?"

"Yes. There were a few accidents, but we managed to finish in time."

"Accidents... It's not my place to pry into another family’s affairs. Do you have any plans for later?"

"No, I don't have any particular plans. I was thinking of just being a wallflower."

"In that case, why don't you join me to meet my elder brother? My brother was also intrigued by your dress."

"Intrigued by the dress...?"

"He danced with Princess Rodenlight earlier, didn't he? At that time, my brother overheard Princess Rodenlight saying, 'It seems to use finer fabric than my own dress.' Princess Rodenlight's dress is made of rare Mana Spider Silk. I was curious if there is a finer fabric than that."

… A fabric finer than Mana Spider Silk.
I have no idea what that could be.
Lily, what did you use for my dress!?
