Volume 2 Chapter 7-2 Equipment Upgrade
Edited by: Kanaa-senpai
Lifia’s power is my power.
Yeah, it’s important to believe in yourself.
Tifi’s information from the adventurer’s guild will be helpful too.
”Anyway, I need to get stronger myself.”
If I was stronger, I could have escaped here more safely this time.
I touch my belly where I got kicked.
Those bandits… no, they weren’t just thugs.
Judging by their skills and equipment, they seemed trained.
”Oh, I just thought of something.”
Tifi suddenly spoke as if she remembered something.
”Can’t we have Mr. Taro’s clothes made at the same workshop that made Lif-Lif’s clothes?”
”Huh?”
I couldn’t help but ask back.
Lifia’s maid outfit was bought from the “Love Hotel” skill’s item shop.
It’s cute and well-made, but I didn’t think it was anything more than that.
”I touched it and realized it’s pretty tough, right? I don’t know the details, but it’s way better than cheap armor.”
Really?
I look at Lifia, and she tilts her head.
Cute.
”I thought it was a good quality, but I’ve never been hit.”
I was in the front lines, and Lifia hadn’t been hit before.
”I know a bit about armor because of my job.”
Tifi said, and continued to explain.
”I think it has about the same defense as the clothes-type magic items found in the Dungeon.”
I can’t hide my surprise.
The clothes I bought with a skill were that good.
The original purpose was cosplay clothes for playing.
”So, if I had the same performance as the maid outfit, it wouldn’t have been a problem when I got kicked?”
”Yes, probably.”
”…I didn’t think it was that high-performance.”
If that’s true, should I get similar equipment?
But, Love Hotel mainly sells play costumes.
There are lots of clothes for women, but are there any for men?
I can’t wear a maid outfit.
”Wait a minute…”
I nervously opened the skills menu.
As I scrolled down the screen──
”No way!”
I couldn’t help but gasp.
Right there, there were definitely outfits for men.
They didn’t have as many options as the women’s selection, but still, they were well-prepared.
Police uniforms, butler suits, even outfits from that one anime I recognized.
”Wow, Love Hotel is amazing!”
I felt surprised by the features of the “Love Hotel” after a long time.
Just how useful could this skill be?
An outfit that gives both defense and play?
That’s something beyond normal thinking.
Tifi and Lifia, watching my reaction, peeked at the skills menu with keen interest.
”Wait, we can choose from this collection?”
Tifi’s eyes sparkled with excitement.
”This one looks cool! It would suit you, Master!”
Lifia pointed at the menu, clearly having fun.
There was indeed… a butler suit.
It looked so classy, but would I really pull it off?
”What about this one, Mr. Taro? It’s stylish!”
Tifi pointed at a sleek suit.
Both of them seemed to really enjoy this.
”Hey, hey, I’m the one choosing here!”
I chuckled lightly, but their eyes were still bright with excitement.
Watching Tifi and Lifia happily pick outfits felt like typical shopping fun.
This peaceful moment wasn’t so bad, I thought.
And so, they finally chose a black military-style jacket for me.
It came with matching pants, giving solid protection too.
Price: 100MP.
Same price as Lifia’s maid outfit.
Looks like all cosplay outfits are set at the same price.
”It’s wonderful, Master!”
”Mr. Taro, you look super cool!”
Lifia and Tifi praised me with sparkling eyes.
Being complimented by them felt nice, but honestly, it was a little embarrassing.
I cleared my throat to hide my shyness and looked at my reflection in the mirror again.
”Isn’t it a bit too flashy?”
The black base is calm and nice, but it’s got silver embroidery here and there in the design.
There are also some delicate decorations.
It’s got a high-class feel, but it seems a bit too eye-catching.
”That’s not true!”
Lifia denies it immediately.
”Rather, it’s better to have some flashiness. Mr. Taro should have more confidence.”
Tifi adds with a smile.
”Is that so…”
If the two of them are satisfied, then it’s fine.
And if it’s high in defense, I guess I can put up with being a bit conspicuous.
After all, cosplay outfits tend to be flashy.
Compared to those, this might actually be on the plain side.
”Alright, let’s settle on this outfit.”
Saying this, he lightly taps his chest, and the two nod happily again.
I don’t know how much use this outfit will be, but it’s not a bad feeling to wear something chosen by beautiful girls.
Looking at Lifia and Tifi’s satisfied faces, somehow I feel happy too.
”I want to buy Tifi’s clothes too, but I’m short on points for now. Wait until tomorrow.”
When I say this, Tifi’s eyes go round with surprise.
”Eh, you’re going to buy mine too!?”
”Of course?”
I say lightly, making Tifi look troubled.
”But, you don’t have to go to so much trouble… such an expensive thing”
To the hesitant Tifi, I wave my hand to reassure her.
”There was that kidnapping incident, right? Since we don’t know the enemy’s identity or their goal, there’s no harm in strengthening our defenses.”
When I say this seriously, Tifi nods slightly, looking a bit convinced.
After confirming this, I add one more thing.
”Besides, Tifi is my girl. I want to protect her, and of course, I’d like her to be beautiful.”
”Ah, thank you very much…”
Her embarrassed posture is oddly charming.
And of course, I need to prepare clothes, but undergarments are necessary too.
I wonder what kind of underwear would suit Tifi.
I’m looking forward to seeing the shy Tifi wearing naughty underwear.
Peeking at the menu, the two start choosing Tifi’s clothes with excitement.
Watching them, I start looking forward to tomorrow in my heart as well.
