Volume 4 Chapter 3 Encounter with the Hero and Thermal Tights
Edited by: Kanaa-senpai
Our dungeon raid is going smoothly, but Kéa looks troubled.
Thanks to the hot spring, Lifia’s magic isn’t affected by the snow, and my firepower has gotten a huge boost from the magic tool.
That might be putting extra pressure on her.
Of course, she’s not dragging us down.
She’s still performing well enough to be a main force.
But it’s frustrating for her that she can’t show her true abilities.
It’s clear that Kéa and her winter Santa outfit are just not a good match.
Kéa’s physical ability shines best when she’s in gear that lets her move freely, like snug-fitting armor.
She uses her agility to control her movements and boost her combat skills.
But wearing light gear in the snowy mountains of the dungeon’s 4th Floor is too risky because of the cold.
To stay warm, she has to wear thicker clothes, which slow her down.
It’s no wonder she feels frustrated during battles.
I want to do something for her.
I open the menu’s product page.
I search through the items created by the Love Hotel skill, looking for something that can solve her problem.
Scrolling through the page, I think, “Isn’t there anything?”
”What is this…?”
One outfit catches my eye.
It stands out for being unusually expensive compared to the other products.
It costs 100MP.
I hadn’t paid it much mind before since it looked plain.
But checking the name again, it says… ‘Thermal Tights.’
The name alone sounds perfect for the snowy mountains.
Plus, it’s the type that fits snugly against the body.
It might be able to support Kéa in battle without restricting her movements.
”With this, maybe…!”
A glimmer of hope shines through.
It might be the key to solving Kéa’s worries.
Without hesitation, I decide to buy the thermal tights.
The tights I bought are full-body and black.
They cover everything from toes to neck.
The only exposed parts are her wrists and face.
The fabric is really thin, but will it be okay?
Anyway, I have Kéa try on the tights.
”Kéa, try these on.”
”What is this supposed to be?”
Kéa looks at the black thermal tights I handed her, tilting her head.
”It’s for keeping warm.”
”Is this, um, what it is?”
Though confused, Kéa takes the tights in her hands.
”Don’t wear anything underneath, go straight on skin.”
”Got it, I understand.”
Feeling shy but still uncovered, Kéa puts on the all-black full-body tights.
I worried they might be a bit small, but they stretch a lot, so no problem.
The tights hug her skin tight, making her body curves shown clearly.
Her chest is snugly covered, and the shape of her figure is visible.
The fabric clings to her form, highlighting her silhouette.
Her movements are unrestricted, and she looks ready for action.
”H-hey, this is… a bit revealing! Please don’t stare so much… I’m not used to this…”
”Don’t worry about it.”
I watch Kéa, who’s shy and blushing.
The snug tights are fun in a different way, showing her readiness to fight.
”Anyway, how does it feel to wear?”
”Uuuh…”
Kéa moves her arms and legs inside the full-body tights, feeling the texture.
”O-oh, this is…”
It seems she can move perfectly fine.
”No problem moving. Actually, it’s pretty easy to move in!”
She looks surprised at how flexible it is.
”Alright, I wanna try the warmth now. Let’s go outside a bit.”
”Eh…?”
At my words, Kéa freezes for a second.
She can’t believe I’d tell her to go out into the snowy mountain just in these tights.
”See, Kéa. It’s a good test.”
Lifia chuckles behind her, giving her a little push on the back.
”I-I understand… I’ll go…”
Reluctantly, Kéa heads outside, all nerves.
Her steps are heavy, but she’s determined to try.
Kéa wears only Santa gloves and a hat, and we step outside.
The moment she opens the door, icy air rushes in all at once.
Outside is an endless white snow world.
The cold mountain air grips her skin like needles.
But as soon as she steps out, her worried face totally changes.
”Whoa!? It’s… not cold at all, I swear!”
She spreads her arms wide, shouting in amazement.
Looks like the tights are doing their job──keeping her warm.
”Even though the fabric is so thin, it has an amazing warmth.”
”Feels good! With this, I can fight with all my might just like before!”
Kéa’s eyes sparkled with energy again, and I breathed a sigh of relief.
She hopped around, bursting with joy.
Just one layer of tights, and she’s ready to take on the dungeon again.

We resumed our exploration of the snowy mountains.
I still looked like a typical Santa Claus you might see anywhere.
Kéa, on the other hand, wore snug black thermal tights, a Santa hat, Santa boots, and Santa gloves.
To focus on mobility, she ended up in a naughty Santa outfit that showed off her body lines.
Her breasts peeked through, and she walked with her ass shaking.
It’s definitely not a sight for public eyes, but this is a dungeon.
I’m the only man who gets to enjoy her lewdness.
Meanwhile, Lifia was walking in her mini-skirt Santa outfit in the snowy mountains.
By having her wear thermal tights too, she could enjoy her cute costume without worrying about the cold.
The red and white hooded Santa outfit was bright and adorable.
Her thighs wrapped in pure white tights peeking from the mini skirt were dazzling.
”How about it, Lifia? You cold?”
”Nope! It’s super warm!”
Lifia beamed a big smile and nodded lightly.
Seeing that made me feel relieved inside.
Thanks to the tights, I could put her in a cute outfit, and what mattered most was that she looked so happy.
In the cold snowfield, we moved forward in our Santa outfits, light on our feet.
The distant mountains were cloaked in white mist, and the silence wrapping the snowfield held only the occasional sound of the wind and our footsteps crunching in the snow.
Still, even as we walked on the freezing ground, the cold didn’t bother us.
The warmth of the tights was outstanding; it felt like we were in a cozy room.
Kéa’s performance with her thermal tights was impressive.
It was as if she was releasing all her pent-up frustrations, taking down the monsters that appeared one after another with ease.
That Frostscale was so tough before, but the huge Avalanche Ogre even bigger and stronger, they both rushed in all at once and cut them down in the blink of an eye.
Kéa showed off crazy fast speed and overwhelming strength.
The hot spring boost made Lifia’s magic ignore the snow’s effects, and with the magic tool, my body’s abilities got stronger.
Thanks to warm tights, Kéa’s mobility fully back again.
Now we can keep exploring this dungeon’s 4th Floor, the Magic-Draining Snow Mountain, with perfect status.
