Ch 23: Who said shopping for clothes with a woman is boring?
<span style="font-weight:400">"Master, now that I will join you in the battles of thebyrinth, it will be necessary to buy the union ne"
<span style="font-weight:400">The union ne allows you to share experience, all the adventurers who travel as a team carry one with them. The gant clone also said that, with this, I could get more information from other people with my UI.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Yes,e on"
<span style="font-weight:400">I''m sure the ne is no longer necessary since Alessia appeared in my user interface as a ve, and I was able to change countless things in her status without asking for her authorization. So I''m sure the experience will also be shared without the ne.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Also, if possible I would like to buy a sword"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Later we will go to Erick''s to buy one, as well as protection for you"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Thanks, master"
<span style="font-weight:400">In fact, since I killed those thieves, I have a lot of weapons in my inventory. For a moment I thought about giving her one of them, but then I remembered how my iron sword cut one of them in half.
<span style="font-weight:400">''It’s better to make sure and buy a new one.''
<span style="font-weight:400">After buying the union ne, we touched each other''s gems and they shone slightly, announcing that the union was sessful. Both are green, the most basic of all. And just as I thought, my UI didn''t react at all.
<span style="font-weight:400">"How was yesterday?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Well, I bought a house in a quiet area"
<span style="font-weight:400">At Erick''s store, after greeting him, Alessia immediately went to the weapons on the walls to determine which of them she would choose.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Are youing for a weapon?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Yes, a one-handed sword. If possible… I would like to see those weapons you hide from the public"
<span style="font-weight:400">"… …So you noticed, huh?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Y-Yes"
<span style="font-weight:400">All the weapons I identified came from inside his shop, while all the ones shown to the public have no free slots.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Very well,e with me. Oh, right, these will be more expensive"
<span style="font-weight:400">"In other stores, they sell the ones with empty slots at the same price…"
<span style="font-weight:400">"That''s because their cksmiths create them by sheer luck, even if they don''t know what they''re doing. I''m a cksmith whose level has increased just by making weapons and armor. I''ve never killed a monster for its experience in my life!"
<span style="font-weight:400">""!!!"" Both I and Alessia were surprised.
<span style="font-weight:400">[Erick] [cksmith Lvl21]
<span style="font-weight:400">That''s the level my UI shows. To get to level 21 without even defeating a monster means that the number of weapons he has crafted is immense. To date, the only ways to level up a ss is through experience from monsters, or by consecutively performing the main task of the ss.
<span style="font-weight:400">"While I make my weapons and armor, I can feel their energy flow. So I know immediately when one of them is different from the others. Coincidentally, they all have free spaces. Now, how many will they have? I don''t know. That''s why I need your help"
<span style="font-weight:400">Now I understand why he separated the weapons. Before my arrival, he must have blindly fused the runes with the weapons and armor. Since all of them had at least one slot, most likely he just merged them with one rune and no more.
<span style="font-weight:400">With my arrival that changed. He can now fuse multiple runes by taking up all the empty slots on the weapon. Hence his amusement at knowing that the hardened steel sword had three empty slots.
<span style="font-weight:400">[Iron Sword] [Slot: (Empty) (Empty)]
<span style="font-weight:400">"Pick that, Alessia. It is the best of them"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Yes? And what about this one?"
<span style="font-weight:400">[Iron Sword] [Slot: (Empty)]
<span style="font-weight:400">"It only has one empty slot. The one I showed you has two"
<span style="font-weight:400">"???" She cocked her head to the side, not knowing what I meant.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Hahaha, pay attention to him. Even I hired his services once-…" Erick stopped his words midway and looked at me with sparkling eyes.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Ah… Right… You''re right. I''ll identify your weapons for free until I pay the debt for the sword with three skills"
<span style="font-weight:400">"You read my mind! That''s exactly what I was going to tell you. Well, well. I have several weapons at my disposal. Do you want to start now?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Well, how many do you have?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Right now, I have 11"
<span style="font-weight:400">"OK, let’s start"
<span style="font-weight:400">And so, it was decided that my debt to Erick would be paid with work, and not with money.
<span style="font-weight:400">***
<span style="font-weight:400">[Iron Sword] [Slot: (Empty) (Empty)]
<span style="font-weight:400">[Chain Coat] [Slot: (Empty) (Empty)]
<span style="font-weight:400">That''s the outfit I bought for Alessia. Even though the chain mail is heavy, on lower floors it doesn''t matter too much because the monsters aren''t really fast, and with a slight jump it is possible to avoid almost all the monsters'' attacks. Also, the points in the strength attribute should not be disregarded.
<span style="font-weight:400">As for the empty slots, Erick doesn''t have the [Edge] and [Physical Shield] runes at the moment, so I postponed their fusion for the future.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Master, these clothes I am wearing are not good forbat…"
<span style="font-weight:400">Alessia wears a white blouse and a long ck skirt. It''s the same clothes she brought back from the ve trade.
<span style="font-weight:400">"It''s true! you also have to buy clothes for daily life"
<span style="font-weight:400">"I''d appreciate it." she said, bowing slightly.
<span style="font-weight:400">''— Well, I''ve been behaving seriously and only speaking when necessary. All so that this pervert master doesn''t think about sex! I have to continue like this so that my suffering will be exclusively at night.''
<span style="font-weight:400">Something I''ve noticed is that, since we left the house, Alessia seems to have put what happened yesterday and this morning in the past. I thought she would be quiet all day or express her anger to me constantly, but, in reality, she has behaved like a mature woman and acted as if nothing had happened.
<span style="font-weight:400">I am very grateful to see a beautiful, serious, and hard-working woman. There is nothing better in this world. And I''m not the only one with this thought as, on our walk, I have seen many men direct their gaze towards us, specifically, towards her.
<span style="font-weight:400">Alessia must be aware of this fact as, when it seems that a man is going to approach her to talk to her, she walks over to me and talks to me.
<span style="font-weight:400">''Is it due to fundamentalmands or something she decided? Well, whatever it is, I can''t help but feel a little happy.''
<span style="font-weight:400">"Good morning, Mr. Emir, do you want clothes for yourself or thedy next to you?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"For her"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Very well, I will call my employee to attend to you."
<span style="font-weight:400">I went to the same store where I bought those high-ss clothes and my current clothes. I originally thought of going to another store, but then I remembered the saying ''better-known than unknown devil''. At least this man already knows me, and won''t bother me with his malicious questions again.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Good morning. What kind of clothing do you want?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"One that can be used forbat and one for daily life," Alessia replied.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Mm, I understand…" The employee looked at me.
<span style="font-weight:400">''Is he asking me about the budget to spend?''
<span style="font-weight:400">In response, I nodded. I am more than willing to pay the price.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Very well,e with me"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Oh, yes"
<span style="font-weight:400">The employee took Alessia by the arm and led her to the upper-middle-ss clothing section. The same type of clothing that I am wearing.
<span style="font-weight:400">When the clerk picked up a small mountain of clothing, she handed it to Alessia and then lightly pushed her into the fitting room. So, the maid again went to get more clothes.
<span style="font-weight:400">''This gave me an idea.''
<span style="font-weight:400">"<span style="font-weight:400">Pss Pss, Alessia. Every time you try on a new pair of underwear, you must show it to me!<span style="font-weight:400">"
<span style="font-weight:400">"<span style="font-weight:400">Kuh, don''t you know where we are, pervert master?<span style="font-weight:400">"
<span style="font-weight:400">"I know very well, that''s why I do it"
<span style="font-weight:400">"<span style="font-weight:400">Grrr<span style="font-weight:400">"
<span style="font-weight:400">After our whispers, Alessia reluctantly agreed.
<span style="font-weight:400">Secondster, she poked her head out of the curtains, checking that no one was around to watch. Only then did she partially open the curtains and show me her current outfit.
<span style="font-weight:400">She is wearing a ck bra with beautiful flowers bordered around it, which is squeezing her breasts tightly. It is too small for her. Her ck panties, also with flowers, fit her perfectly, entuating her round buttocks.
<span style="font-weight:400">She closed the curtains a few secondster, but I could still see her red cheeks and clenched jaws as she dealt with this embarrassing situation.
<span style="font-weight:400">Although I can hear the sounds of her changing clothes, she didn''te back out for several minutes.
<span style="font-weight:400">''Maybe she''s putting off underwear forter.''
<span style="font-weight:400">And so, at some point, she double-checked that no one was around before opening the curtains.
<span style="font-weight:400">Over her breasts, she wears a white bra with geometric figures bordered on it. This one is smaller than the ck one, exposing more skin. Her white panties have the same design. The big difference is that, at the back, the width of the fabric is small, making her beautiful buttocks shine even more.
<span style="font-weight:400">With her flushed face and clenched teeth, she closed the curtain again.
<span style="font-weight:400">''Who said shopping for clothes with a woman is boring? It''s great!''
