Chapter 58

"Done!!"

Bati shouted.

She had been engrossed in making clothes recently, and finally, her efforts bore fruit.

"Lady Prati! Please try this on! It's a fluffy, spring-colored skirt I made just for you!!"

"Eh? For me!?"

Prati was taken aback by the sudden request.

But what a grand title for a skirt...!

"To match Lady Prati's image as a mermaid princess, I made the hem asymmetrical to create a wavy impression! By measuring Lady Prati's hip size in advance, I established a flowing line when worn, making it a trendy item! The color is blue to match well with the top, inspired by the color of the sea, Lady Prati's homeland!!"

Hmm.

I understood about eighty percent of what she said.

But her passion was intense, almost overwhelming.

"...It feels very comfortable. And the design is stylish. I feel like I can finally dress up since coming to my husband's place...!"

"Yay! Thank you for the compliment!!"

Bati raised both hands in joy.

I'm glad her efforts paid off.

"But, next time, I want something more practical for work."

"Ack!?"

Indeed, skirts can be a bit restrictive for movement.

However, with this, our settlement can finally produce trendy and fashionable clothes that are a hit with the young crowd.

Another step forward!

"Hmm...!"

Viel, who was watching from the side like me, had a troubled look on her face.

"What's wrong, Viel? Are you jealous that Prati gets to wear stylish clothes?"

"No way. ...Hey, Master, isn't the fabric for that dress made from the thread spun by those creepy bugs?"

Creepy bugs, how rude.

Indeed, the silk used for the skirt was woven from the thread spun by the monster silkworms we collected from the dungeon.

The silk has a beautiful luster, and I was even moved by how well it was finished!

"...Dragon Fireball"

Suddenly, Viel generated a ball of flame from her fingertips.

It was about the size of a baseball.

Magic?

"Go!"

She threw the fireball with a flick of her fingers.

It flew towards Prati's skirt.

It hit.

"AAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!?"

What are you doing, you stupid dragon!?

Did you really dislike Prati dressing up so much!?

"Don't worry, Master, I adjusted the power. Look closely."

"Eh!?"

The silk skirt, touched by the crimson flames, did not catch fire at all; it repelled the flames.

"Eh!?"

The flames shattered and disappeared completely, leaving not a single scorch mark on the skirt.

"Sure enough... this fabric has an incredible resistance to magic?"

"Eh?"

"Probably, it also has an extremely high physical defense. Far better than any armor. If this is the effect of the thread spun by those bugs, then indeed, Master's judgment is impressive."

No.

I wasn't even aware of that?

I just thought, "Maybe they can produce silk?" because there were silkworms that could spin thread.

I didn't expect such practical benefits to come with it. Truly, the monsters in this fantasy world are something else.

"That's impossible."

Prati also chimed in with a comment!?

"No matter how much they are monsters, if they could spin such strong threads, they would surely have been mentioned in some form of rumor!"

"Then, what about this skirt with armor-level defense?"

"...My guess is, didn't the Orcbos and Spartan Goblins mutate after interacting with you, Master?"

Ah.

"Maybe these bugs also mutated after being raised by you, Master? That's why the quality of the thread they spun changed?"

"Drastically?"

Once again, did I create an incredible new species...!?

After experimenting with the leftover fabric, we found that the silk produced by these mutated monster silkworms was so strong that it couldn't be torn even by a normal level of attack.

It was completely resistant to magic.

"Another legendary weapon has been created!?"

"It's not a weapon! It's a stylish fashion item!!"

Bati, the creator, protested, but this was clearly something special.

Originally, these monster silkworms were so insignificant that they didn't even have names. But now, I decided to name the mutated species.

Since the original species had no name, it made sense that the mutated species would have one.

And since I was the one who caused the mutation, I had the right to name them.

The thread they spun was white and shone with a strength greater than steel. It was like a diamond, so I named them "Adamant Silkworms."

The silk woven from their thread could be called "Adamant Silk" or "Adamant Silk."

In any case, I was very satisfied that I could finally dress Prati in stylish clothes.

Viel was looking at me with a slightly envious expression, but I guess she was just jealous.

"Master! It's unfair to only fuss over Prati! Do something for me too!"

Well, you're a dragon and the strongest species, so there's not much I can do for you...

"Is it bad that I am a perfect being... Damn it!!"

So, I decided to pet Viel's head for a while.

She didn't seem to mind. While being petted, she narrowed her eyes and purred.
