CH 69

The entrance to the underground space was in the cemetery in the northeast area, so for the time being, I decided to move to a place where we could change clothes.

“Before I came here, I told the staff of the company to secure a waiting area. We also need a place to let Geese and the others who were caught rest.”

Geese, Brian, and the other three people who were captured are with Chris-sama and the people from the company, who are moving them to that place and letting them rest. After I got an explanation from Ursch-kun and got out of the cemetery, an old man with fluffy eyebrows was waiting. I often see this eyebrow old man when I go to Schneiver & Co. or the Schneiver family to see Ursch-kun. He’s deaf and we can’t have much of a conversation, but sometimes he gives me sweets and oranges wrapped in a handkerchief.

I was guided by the old man to an old apartment complex in the northeast district. There seemed to be a lot of taverns, and even though it was late at night, I could hear laughter, loud voices, and musical instruments. Some people were drunk and sleeping on the street. Sleeping in a place like this, I would be worried about pickpockets.

As I went through the narrow road between the buildings in the drinking district, there were a lot of buildings that looked like row houses. The alley between the row houses is also narrow and messy. A tattered cloth is hanging from above. I don’t know what it’s hanging there for but we went through it and proceeded.

And just like the taverns, even though it was late at night, many people were awake. It seemed like part of the row houses were used as workshops, and there was a delicious smell, steam, and the voices of the lively old ladies leaking out. Are they preparing something?

When I was thinking about that and about to take a peek inside, we were guided into the lively row house. We walked past the old ladies and proceeded to the back room. As we slipped through, the old ladies stroked us and said, “Are you friends of the kids earlier? Eat this before you go.” and gave us something like a steamed meat bun. While waiting for the meat bun like things, we thanked them and went into what looked like a break room.

Geese and Brian seemed to be sleeping with the others in the back room, so Alice-chan and I sat side by side in the front room. Chris-sama went to see how Geese and the others were doing.

I immediately opened [Closet] and looked for a cute costume that has the perfect effect for Alice-chan’s ability while eating meat bun like things.

“Come to think of it, Alice-chan. I think you had the skill [Super Acceleration], but have you become able to master it in training with the queen?”

“Hmm. . . not at all. My father has the same skill, but even if you can master it, the load on your body is too large, so you can’t travel that far and you can’t use it continuously. Oh, there’s meat in this bread!! The pepper is a little spicy, but it’s delicious.”

I see, even if I can master it, I wonder if I can get behind the person in front of me in an instant? Oh no. The pig mask man can do it without using that much skill. In fact, he got behind me several times during the previous battle. If the other party isn’t moving, I feel like I can do it.

“Hmm. If you could use [Super Acceleration] as much as you want, I was going to go with a speeding costume, but if you can’t move too fast, you can’t speed up a little. . . Well, shall we focus on defense?”

“Wow. Bella-chan, if you don’t eat this bread well, a lot of meat juice will come out and your hands will become sticky. But it’s delicious.”

Alice-chan, you’re crazy about meat buns, and you haven’t listened to me. Let’s choose it on my own. We don’t have much time. Let’s throw away the speed strengthening idea and choose with an emphasis on strengthening defense and attack power. I’ll ask Alice-chan to take a fixed artillery position. Or an immovable fortress.

Defense, defense. Ah, this teddy bear-like costume with bear ears is cute.

When I was looking at the dress in the [Closet], I got tapped on the shoulder and looked back. Then Ursch-kun, who was standing behind me, pointed to the back room.

“I’m going to take a look at the back room too. There’s something I’m a little worried about.”

“What bothers you? Is there a problem?”

Did they get mixed up while we were protecting them or something like that?

When I asked Ursch-kun that because he was worried, he shook his head with a soft smile.

“No. There is no problem so far. Among the three people who we simply protected, there’s a child with skills I’m interested in, so I thought I’d look into it.”

“Eh, what kind of skills are you interested in?”

“I don’t know the specific ability yet, but. . . I wonder if I can make a rough prediction based on the skill name? Well, I’ll let you know when I find out specifically, so you don’t have to worry about it Isabella.”

“Yes, I got it. I’ll go talk to you when I’m ready. I’ll be ready soon, so wait a little longer.”

“Yeah, I got it. Also, it seems that Chris-sama is going too, but. . . men’s clothes can’t be expected, right?”

Men’s clothes. . . It’s a little different from men’s things, but there must have been a ‘Men’s Dress Lotto’. Men’s things were not as interesting as dresses, and I exchanged a lot, so there’s almost nothing left, is that okay?

“I’ll look for it just in case. Even if it’s not men’s clothes, I’ll look for any accessories that Chris-sama and Ursch-kun can wear.”

Okay, I’ll put Ursch-kun in a hat with animal ears. Let’s do that. It must be absolutely cute. Overflowing with cuteness.

Did you see through my wicked idea? Ursch-kun ruffled his bangs with a slightly troubled expression and went into the back room after excusing himself.

Well, if I choose with an emphasis on ease of movement rather than fashion. . .

I found a costume item from the ‘Cosplay Beast Man Lotto’ at the time of the ‘Love Magical’ Ver2 event ‘The Second Prince of the Garo Empire Exciting Demon Subjugation Escort Event’.

Omitting the details of the event, it is an escort mission for defeating monsters, so it emphasizes mobility and has a high effect of strengthening defense and attack power.

I don’t want Alice-chan to get hurt, so let’s give her [True Rare] to wear instead of normal. [True Rare] is usually attached to the 500 yen lotto of “Love Magical”. If you pull one [S Rare], two [Rare], and the designated [Normal] three points on your own, and if you complete the lotto, you will receive it as a gift.

So. . . that’s. . .

For Alice-chan, [True Rare] black tiger battle dress ‘Spring Sleep’. The black tiger costume with red lines on a black background looks good with Alice-chan’s black hair and wine red eyes.

I wore the [S Rare] tiger’s battle dress ‘Akatsuki’ It’s an ordinary yellow tiger costume, but it’s in harmony with my blonde hair.

You may have a prediction, but ‘True Rare Spring Sleep’ and ‘S Rare Akatsuki’ are different colors. In terms of ability, [True Rare] is better. And as expected, it’s a costume created by game Ursch-kun. A mysterious technique that changes the size of the costume according to the size of the wearer’s body is used.

Recently, I’ve been afraid of the game Ursch-kun. Who are you?

For Chris-sama, I went with a gothic costume from ‘Men’s Lotto’. It’s like a black tailcoat, but even though it’s men’s clothing, it has a feminine design. It also has shorts and knee high socks. Let’s also attach a mini top hat as a set. I’ll give him a cane too.

For Ursch-kun it’s a hunter costume from ‘Men’s Lotto’. It’s men’s clothes, but it’s a little like a forest girl costume. In addition, let’s add the bear ears, which is a small item of the teddy bear dress from ‘Cosplay Beast Man Lotto’.

Ursch-kun with bear ears!! This should look great on him!!

Once the costumes were ready, I immediately called Ursch-kun and Chris-sama in the back room and asked them to wear the costumes I prepared.

Chris-sama rejected the cane by saying that it was in the way. It’s true that the cane is in the way for Chris-sama, who mainly attacks with archery and daggers. I’m regretful, but it can’t be helped.

Ursch-kun wore his with peace of mind that it was safer than he thought. What kind of costume did you think I was going to have you wear Ursch-kun? And as I imagined, Ursch-kun with bear ears was adorable. You are just as adorable as I believed you would be, Ursch-kun.

There was a problem. Chris-sama, who saw Ursch-kun’s costume, relentlessly said that he was the only one that wasn’t an animal series.

He wanted animal ears too.

So, instead of the mini top hat, I added the rabbit ears of the rabbit warrior dress from ‘Cosplay Beast Man Lotto’. Chris-sama has good ears so isn’t it perfect? Also, combined with the tailcoat, it matches well like Alice’s white rabbit in Wonderland. With this, as long as he don’t show his dead eyes, he would be able to catch a lot of shota-loving sisters.

“I’m sorry to take your time!! Shall we hurry up and go to the ruins of the abandoned factory?”

When I tried to jump out of the room after saying that, Chris-sama stopped me.

“. . . . yet. . . they haven’t come out of the ground. . . and Geese and Brian know what happened. When I explained the situation, they said they wanted to go with me. . .”

Hmm. Hmmmm. What should I do?

I don’t know what the two of them are capable of at the moment, and they were defeated and captured once. . . If I think about it calmly, it’s better not to take them, but. . . what should I do?

Kind of sad that this whole chapter was pretty much dedicated to picking out clothes. But what is the skill that Ursch was interested in?

I hope you enjoyed this chapter and thank you for reading!
