Chapter 14

After taking a break, I was lifted from the former king's lap and took the needle in my hand again. Lord Rodan told me that if I wanted to, I could make as many clothes as I liked using the fabric that Lord Ulde had brought here, for the former king. I think my eyes must have sparkled.

"Be careful not to overdo it. If you feel tired, let me know right away."

It seems they want to know how much enchanted sewing I can do.

Even the shoddy enchanted sewing at the Nuier household, fundamentally, was a matter of balancing mana consumption, I suppose... probably.

It seems that the only clothes that were fully enchanted were the king's.

But, those clothes are gone...

I quickly sewed a casual shirt, some pants, and a few undergarments. I wonder if I've leveled up (?) again, as it seems I'm even faster than a sewing machine now?

Anyway, I have permission.

I want to make military uniforms, suits (both host-like and mafia-style), coats, and fur coats.

Oh, there isn't much fur. Maybe just for decoration?

Then, there are the typical noble clothes of this world.

It would be easier if there were zippers... but it's good that there's at least elastic.

If I suggest it, maybe they can make some buttons?

I also want some belt buckles...

While I was thinking about this, the spirits gathered around the useless gems they had set aside and opened their mouths wide.

"Huh?"

"They seem to want to use their power. Did you wish for something? Try increasing your mana."

Following the former king's advice, I extended a bunch of mana threads to the spirits and offered them to their mouths.

The spirits seemed to be adding their power to the threads.

Then, the spirits gathered the gems to a certain extent... yeah, they gathered them without making them transparent, mixed them, stretched them... ah, this is a belt buckle. They're tilting their heads a bit?

"If they stay connected, you can communicate the specific items you want?"

"Okay."

This is the first time I've seen the spirits manipulate matter, and it's exciting to see the gems mix and stretch so easily, like candy.

Can I separate and arrange the colors of the gems?

Green for leaves and vines, red berries scattered...

The base will be a mix of gold and silver, with a slightly subdued color palette...

Amazing!!

I hurriedly made the belt's leather part... there's no leather, so I used thick, sturdy fabric for the part other than the buckle.

The spirits helped with the belt holes too.

I adjusted the pants, and they were complete.

Hmm, did I play a bit too much?

Is it too flashy?

But, it really suits the former king...

...I'll have them make a few more, more subdued ones. Ones that go well with military uniforms and suits.

I don't understand the structure of zippers, which is a shame.

"Is this what you wanted?"

Holding the completed belts, the former king smiled wryly.

"Huh?"

"This is spirit magic. It's different from magic or sorcery, which relies heavily on spirits... It's a rare phenomenon that can be induced by those with magic eyes or under the protection of spirits."

Oh, I thought the spirits and the spider might have something like mana threads.

Magic! Sorcery!

It seems that the phenomenon doesn't occur unless it's through the spirits.

Yeah. I've tried various things since I could produce mana threads, but nothing happened...

Ah, from the former king's advice, it seems I might have lacked specificity?

I still have a lot to learn, it seems.
