Chapter 12

The former king, dressed in a yukata, truly shone.

Sparkling, shimmering, in a burst.

He diffused waves of light, it was blinding.

With a strong affinity for the moon, water, and ice, but also with light, it seemed to create a chaotic reflection...

The clear, blue-silver magical light seemed to purify the air even further.

"Amazing."

"I didn't think it would be this much."

I heard the dazed voices of the former king and Lord Rodan, but I was so captivated by the brightness that I didn't pay much attention to them.

Moreover, the spirits accompanying the former king had grown.

The yukata-like dresses were probably influenced by the former king.

Furthermore, the beauty of the former king, now properly dressed, was simply overwhelming.

It was like the excitement of standing in front of a movie star I was a huge fan of.

The change from a movie star I knew but wasn't a fan of to a movie star I was a huge fan of... was it a charisma boost?

Ah, a simple shirt and slacks are nice, but I really want to dress him in a military uniform.

Black and white, and from the spirit and magic connection, blue and indigo.

Silver thread embroidery, and key points decorated with gold thread... my creative urge wouldn't stop.

He would look good in both a neatly worn and a casually worn outfit. Even a shoulder wrap would be nice.

In this fantasy world, it would fit, right?

Lord Rodan and Lord Ulde said I could use the fabric they brought here as I pleased!

For now, I decided to finish a set of shirts, pants, and undergarments.

The shoes seemed to be the work of a top-notch craftsman.

However, since the laced boots didn't match the yukata, I made and gave him geta with fabric straps, adding protective stitching to the straps and edges.

I had made geta with fabric straps as decorations in my past life, but this was the first time I made them to be worn.

"Please wear these instead of shoes with this outfit."

"Oh, oh, it seems quite defenseless."

I was worried, thinking it might not be good, but the former king sat down on the chair Lord Ulde quickly prepared, took off his boots, put on the geta, and smiled brightly.

"These are great. Very comfortable."

Lord Rodan chuckled at my worried expression.

"Items with protective stitching have higher defense. It's fine."

"Boots are hot and heavy..."

Hearing the former king's muttered words, I recalled my past experience and realized I could now create dream items.

"Um, if I put protective stitching inside the boots, I can somehow make it work."

Yeah. To prevent sweating and purify. I can't embroider on leather with this needle, but if I add protective stitching to the laces, I can manage the weight and defense.

Since it's a top-notch craftsman's work, I want the craftsman's permission, though.

"Really?"

Ah, it wasn't a shining smile, but a truly radiant one?

Another diffusion of light waves?

"Oops, sorry. My magic is still unstable."

The former king, who had become blinding, picked me up and placed me on his lap.

Ah, is this okay?

The former king is the former king, and I'm just a needleworker.

...Lord Rodan isn't scolding, so it's okay, right?

"Yui, are you okay with your magic? You've done a lot of protective stitching..."

"Huh?"

Noticing it suddenly, he asked worriedly... I tilted my head.

Because I had only done protective stitching on the yukata and geta?

I didn't know.

Most ordinary protective stitching craftsmen can't sustain their magic, so they take days to make clothes.

And that my protective stitching could be used almost endlessly.
