Chapter 34 – It Was All a Comedy.

“This settles the rumor!”

“Can we call this a solution…”

When I glanced around, fortunately, I didn’t hear any glances or whispers. Instead, the attention of people who read the gossip spread by Tiaran was drawn to Ketan.

“But it’s easier to move around, right?”

“Ha, I see.”

If you think about it, it was Ketan who started the fight and caused trouble in the first place, so Lucia decided to ignore it.

“I’m planning to go buy some armor, but what are you going to do?”

“I’ll follow you.”

Asta turned to him as if it was obvious, and when the two people’s eyes focused on him, Lucia couldn’t help but nod.

“I’ll go too. I just happened to not be able to buy it at the time.”

Since Tiaran had a history of bothering her by following her the last time she tried to buy it on her own, she decided to just buy the clothes she had been eyeing.

“Huh? What? Is this the clothes you buy?”

“Tsk! Boo, do you have any complaints?!”

And when Lucia shouted confidently, trying to hide her embarrassment, at the sight of her arriving at the clothing store and choosing the clothes she had been eyeing, Tia Ran shook her head.

“What’s the complaint? It’s what you’re going to wear anyway.”

“… Really?”

Lucia listened to his words and looked at him with a subtle expression. Usually, when she tried to buy clothes like this, her parents or other people would often interfere and argue about every single thing.

“Rather than that, it’s a design I taught someone else a long time ago, right?”

“These clothes, Tiarani?”

“Huh? You?”

Tiaran shrugged her shoulders as Asta and Lucia looked at each other in surprise.

“Right?”

That’s right, this world developed ambiguously because of Maca, but in any case, it was a place where people lived a life close to the medieval era. There are very few people who make a harsh comment about wearing clothes like that, but there are also not many people who make them themselves.

“Why are you wearing clothes like this?”

“Because it’s a romance!”

“Roman?”

The girls tilted their heads as if they didn’t understand, but Tiaran seemed to like it. All he did was to relieve his homesickness and desire for the world he originally lived in and teach him how to design clothes from a designer he happened to know.

“End the story here and try it on for yourself!”

“Tsk! I understand. Don’t fuss!”

She blushed and screamed as he grabbed Lucia by the shoulders holding her dolphin pants and pushed her into the dressing room. As Lucia was being pushed into her dressing room, Asta glanced at her and spoke to Tia Ran.

“If I wear that, will Tiaran like it too?”

“Of course!”

“I’ll wear it.”

After hearing his confirmation, Asta went into the dressing room to find dolphin pants of the right size for him.

“Asta? Do you want to wear Asta too?”

“Yes, I wish Tiaran would do that.”

“… How much do you like these clothes?”

Tia Ran nodded her head with pride as she listened to their conversation coming from beyond the dressing room.

‘Hey. How long has it been since I last saw these dolphin pants? I was giving up halfway because I couldn’t see anything as time went by.’

In fact, the reason he told the designer about the design of the dolphin pants was because he wanted the clothes to become popular.

Was it ‘Let’s make all the women in the world wear dolphin pants!’

She doesn’t know what she was thinking at the time when she set such a crazy goal, but she was one of her bucket list items. The reason I haven’t given up even now is because good things are good things. After waiting like that, the curtain in the dressing room opened and Lucia and Asta appeared.

“Ugh, isn’t this a bit shorter than I thought?”

“But it’s easy to move around. Wouldn’t it be good when fighting?”

As expected, they were wearing dolphin pants. Although they are not as tight as hot pants, the white legs are exposed centered on the tight line above the thighs.

“As expected, it suits you well!”

“Ugh, of course! I…?”

“Thank you…?”

Lucia and Asta turned their heads to where he was to respond to his compliment, but all they could see was an empty chair.

“Key. It’s a superb view. It’s a superb view.”

“Already?!”

That’s because Tiaran was sitting in front of them, fully admiring the white legs exposed under the dolphin pants.

“Where did the alcohol come from?!”

“I bought it from outside!”

And that too while drinking alcohol that I brought from somewhere. Afterward, thanks to his positive opinion, Lucia and Asta each bought three sets of dolphin pants in the same design and different colors.

“We can buy these things.”

Even with Tiaran paying.

“Newbies don’t spend money!”

“I don’t understand.”

Since Lucia had originally intended to buy it with her own money, she stared blankly at the back of Tiaran, who was taking the lead.

‘What are you thinking about while living?’

Watching him call them newbies all the time and take care of various things for them was almost burdensome. But if you say it’s just that good.

“What kind of training do you think would be good next?”

“Ugh! Weren’t you supposed to rest until today?”

“Can’t you please take a look…?”

“Training must be consistent!”

Because of the hellish training, I couldn’t be happy just because they cared for me. Because his training really pushed them to the brink of collapse.

“Now that we’ve bought our clothes, shouldn’t we buy Tiaran’s armor?”

‘Asta, nice!’

While Lucia was wondering how to tell the story about the training, fortunately Asta found his still tattered armor and started talking about it.

“If I stay like that, I might get into trouble with that adventurer from before, right?”

Lucia quickly agreed with Asta. Otherwise, she might actually start training as soon as she got back to her dorm.

“That’s right. Tiarando also said that adventurers must carefully maintain their equipment.”

“Well, equipment is important. We should set an example for newbies!”

As the girls tried to persuade him by exchanging words with each other, fortunately, Tiaran was convinced.

“Then let’s start by looking around the blacksmith shop.”

“”Phew.””

Lucia and Asta were relieved side by side and confirmed their friendship.

“This is the blacksmith’s street.”

“It definitely smells like metal.”

As I was walking along with him, I soon began to hear the sound of metal striking from various places, and a street appeared where I could see flames brightly illuminating the dark street.

“Have you never been here before?”

“I haven’t had to replace the equipment yet.”

“I don’t really need these types of equipment.”

Asta was still using the equipment she received from her teacher, and in Lucia’s case, she only wore cloth clothes to begin with. She didn’t need any special armor.

“Oh no! Newbie! What kind of big deal are you talking about?!”

“Eh?”

“What this time…”

Until Tiaran sees Lucia and screams in horror.

“I was wondering why you weren’t even wearing that simple protective gear! Didn’t Master Neg even teach you the basics of adventure?”

“But Machia said that wearing her armor would only hinder her movements.”

In fact, her teacher wore only a simple suit and robe.

“Man! Why do we have chain mail or leather guards if it hinders movement?! What kind of bullshit philosophy did you teach us?!”

“Now, wait a minute. Even so, he is famous…!”

Lucia spoke with embarrassment at the sight of him disparaging her teacher who had taught her. Tia Ran got even more angry and came closer to her. She grabbed the hem of her clothes and lifted her up.

“Eh, eh?!”

“I wonder if you really weren’t wearing any protective gear?!”

When he finally saw her bare skin, he grabbed her by the back of her neck as if it was ridiculous.

“Hey, hey, what are you doing?!?”

Lucia, who suddenly had her stomach exposed in the middle of her street, was shocked and hurriedly took down her clothes to protest.

“Wow, such boldness.”

“Did you see it? It was really white.”

“I’m jealous of such a beautiful woman.”

If you look around, you will see people looking at them with jealous or lukewarm eyes.

“Your teacher is famous?! He must be very famous! He doesn’t even say anything about his student being so defenseless!”

In fact, Tiaran didn’t pay any attention to her and pounded her chest as if her stomach was exploding. As her eyes began to gather more and more, Lucia cried out in an attempt to somehow get out of this situation.

“Ah, okay! I got it! Let’s go buy some armor first!”

“Pahahaha! You know me well, bro.”

As they were arguing like that, they heard the clear and clear laughter of a girl coming from somewhere, and when they turned around, a small girl came up and was watching them as if it was fun.

“Dwarf?”

Asta muttered as if he was surprised to see her. That’s because it was quite rare for her to be in a city of people.

“I guess it’s because the ears and Machias have high arrogance. They are so stubborn.”

Tiaran glanced at the nameless dwarf who was crossing her arms and nodding her head at his words, and then quietly knelt down and asked.

“Kid. Are you lost? Did you get separated from your parents?”

Apparently, he mistook her for an ordinary girl.

“… I am a dwarf!!”

“Okay, okay, I’m a little short. I’ll hold your hand, so follow me. Furthermore, I’ll take you with me.”

“You bastard! Listen to me!”
