I’m Not Good at Offensive Magic, but I’ll Do My Best With Support Magic! - CH 20
After taking a bath and having dinner, we decided to relax in our room. We will be leaving the village tomorrow, so it’s important to rest when we can. That’s why we had an unveiling of the clothes in our room…
「Ewan, put on this underwear too」
「I don’t want to!」
I’m about to be turned into a dress-up doll for Shea-san. By the way, I have graduated from the cloth that was wrapped around my chest. I’m wearing new ones, including pants. At first I didn’t know how to put it on, so I had to ask for help, but now I’m good.
「It’s too embarrassing to change my underwear in front of you, let alone my loungewear!」
「… Okay, it looks like loungewear」
「I understand, so please turn your head that way」
Since Shea-san had bought me clothes, I couldn’t say no, so I changed my clothes. But even though we are girls, I don’t want people to stare at me while I change my clothes.
「What do you think?」
「Cute」
The magic tool clothes are amazing. When I put them on, I poured magic power into them and they really adjusted their size automatically. It seems to work with my will and can be worn loosely or snugly. And of course, I can make a tail hole so I can move my tail freely!
「It’s amazing!」
I’m so happy to be able to move my tail freely that I end up wagging it. It’s a service since I’ve been feeling cramped all day.
「I want to see it in black」
「I understand」
Next, I change into my black loungewear.
「It’s just a different color」
「But, it looks good on you. So cute」
Shea-san is going to say the same thing no matter what I wear. It’s nice to be complimented by Shea-san, though.
Finally, I try on the light blue, but I think it looks a little out of place on me.
「No, it’s not. You’re cute」
「Mou, Shea-san, that’s all you ever say!」
「Facts. Cute things are cute」
「Muu… Well, then, you’re next, Shea-san!」
「Me?」
「Yes, this. It’s not my money… but I picked it out as a service item. I hope Shea-san will wear it.」
「Yuan…」
Shea-san’s eyes are moist and she looks very happy. That makes me happy, too.
「… I don’t think I’d look good in it」
「No, that’s not true! You’ll look great」
When I took the clothes out of their wrapping, Shea-san looked troubled. Still, she did wear it, probably because I gave it to her as a gift.
「Skirt… first time」
「Shea-san has long legs, so it’s a nice touch. The skirt could be shorter, though」
「Like this?」
The skirt was shortened from below the knee to above the knee.
「A little bit more… ?」
「This is short」
The skirt was shortened to around her thighs.
「That’s about as good as it gets, in my opinion!」
「If Yuan says so, so be it」
It’s not safe to wear a few layers. But when should she wear this kind of clothing?
「I’m fine with it because I’ll wear it everyday. Yuan picked it out for me, so I want to」
「But it’s not safe」
「It’s not much different from before, so I’m fine. I never wore armor to begin with」
「Oh, yes, I remember」
「Yuan is the same, just a robe」
I have defensive magic, you know. As was the case with the adventurers I saw at the guild, most of them were basically wearing light clothes that were easy to move around in. Unlike knights, we are often asked to go to places where our movements are restricted, such as mountains and forests. In such places, heavy equipment such as full plate can be dangerous. When you think about it, I might be the adventurer who wears the least amount of armor. My defensive magic can protect Shea-san, and there are actually adventurers who wear skirts as well.
「But I think you can roll up my skirt」
「Yuan, pervert」
「N- No, I’m not! It’s not that I want to see it, it’s that other people might see Shea-san’s underwear!」
「Don’t worry, I’ve taken precautions」
When Shea-san rolled up her skirt, underneath it was a pair of black pants that were not underwear.
「Then it seems fine」
「Un」
The unveiling was over without a hitch, and Shea-san has changed into her loungewear. I’m a little disappointed, but I’ll bear with it since I’ll be able to see her with them tomorrow.
「Oh, by the way, Shea-san’s pouch is a magical tool, isn’t it?」
「Un. Small but useful」
「Can I take a look?」
「Un」
I took the pouch from Shea-san and poured magic power into the pouch.
「It’s a common one」
「Yes. The big ones are expensive. This is good enough」
But it looks like there’s room for improvement!
The skin is engraved with magical characters. The effect varies depending on how detailed they are and what they mean. It is the same as expressing the skill of the maker… in other words, if you tamper with those magic characters…
「It’s done!」
If I can improve it, it means my skills have surpassed yours, and I’ve won!
「Un?」
「Shea-san, please try to use it for a moment」
「Un… Is it bigger?」
「I’ve added 2 more layers! If you reach in deeper than before, you can use that as storage, too!」
「Yuan, amazing」
「Hehehe, I’m actually good at this kind of thing. If the material is good, I can make it bigger, though.」
「No. Enough」
「Afterwards, I made sure that if you store something with magic flowing through the pouch, you can put something bigger than the entrance of the pouch!」
「Great, convenient」
Unlike magic storage, magic tools basically can’t store anything larger than the entrance. However, by connecting the entrance to the destination dimension, it is possible to store larger items. It’s like a simplified version of transference. I can’t transfer people at the moment, though.
「But be careful, time will pass!」
「Un, thank you」
「No, I’m just thanking you for all the things you’ve bought for me」
Besides, dimensional magic is difficult to deal with, so I haven’t been able to analyze the theory. I don’t know why my magic storage doesn’t pass through time. Even if I have knowledge and can use magic, it’s only knowledge to handle magic, and I don’t know how it happens. I’m working on analysis, but I’m still not very good at analyzing dimensional magic. Still, I’m glad that Shea-san was pleased with my work.
「Well then, I think I’ll go to bed」
「Un, sleep」
「Have a good night」
「Good night」
I crawl into bed, and even Shea-san crawls in.
「Um?」
「Measures to prevent Yuan from falling」
「I won’t fall every time」
「Yeah…」
Shea-san went back to her bed, looking disappointed. Besides, it’s a shame to waste such a spacious futon, isn’t it? It is not possible to stay at an inn every day, so I hope that Shea-san will enjoy the experience. After that, I was able to sleep soundly.
However, the next morning we were sleeping together. Shea-san said it was because I fell off the bed, but I don’t remember. Did I really fall? Even so, Shea-san was so warm and cozy that I fell asleep. I also thought it was a little hot, but it was acceptable. There’s nothing like the comfort of sleeping twice.
And so the morning of our departure arrived.
Author-san
I titled it the “unveiling”, but it went by quickly.
And while I’m at it, I’ll also be showing off Yuan’s special skills. In case you were wondering, she’ s a cheat when it comes to auxiliary magic.
… The improvement of magic characters should also be auxiliary magic, right? Since it’s for attacking!
That’s the reason why Yuan is a bit competitive.
