Chapter 8

Spirits sometimes attach themselves to people; those with a spirit attached tend to be less prone to illness and heal from injuries more quickly... My initial state of weakness was quite severe, and even those who couldn't see or feel spirits could tell I had one attached to me.

This, in itself, is not so rare.

However, it seems that normally, only powerful magicians are constantly guarded by strong spirits. For newborns, spirits might whimsically guard them or leave, but it's not common for them to be constantly guarded.

That's why the Nuier family, despite being a bunch of no-good people, still had power. They could perform protective stitching to host the power of spirits.

The three spirits that usually cling to me are:

1. The spirit I first treated... now it's like a princess with floral decorations.

2. A spirit with white rabbit ears, the tips of which are faintly blue, wearing a celestial-like outfit.

3. A purple spirit that usually stays within my shadow, which is a rare male-type spirit.

Other spirits I've mended over time also come and go, playing with me. But in the Nuier family, they would only come out when no one else was around. They never appeared when there were people around. Now, they seem to have settled comfortably in the mansion, flying around freely and getting along with the servants.

...Actually, it was strange that there were so many injured spirits in the Nuier family. Perhaps there was a spirit curse caster in that house. Or maybe the spirits who knew about me told their friends, and they came to be treated. But since coming to this house, I haven't seen any injured spirits except for those Lord Scull was protecting.

Lord Scull, who has a magic eye, says that spirits are generally not seen by ordinary people and don't hide. They don't approach people they dislike and hide their presence from them. Yes, it's suspicious.

When I mentioned this, Lord Scull smiled and said, "I understand." It was a smile that made me feel glad to have him on my side.

With that, the spirits got used to the mansion, and I was able to fully return to work. Then, I was called by my master, Lord Rodan, and waited in the mansion's guest room.

What a nightmare.

When I saw the man Lord Rodan brought in, my honest first impression was this. The man himself is good:

- Cobalt blue hair and amber eyes

- Tall and slender with a long-limbed, perfect model physique

- He looks like a slightly naughty, charming older man, the type you might find among foreign actors in my previous life.

No, the problem is that he's too good inside, which makes it even more tragic. His outfit, with its calm black and cobalt blue accents... the color combination aside, the tailoring and sewing are all terribly disappointing.

"Yui, this is the former king..."

Lord Rodan was introducing him, but I was so shocked that I hardly heard anything. To be honest, the seamstress who made this outfit must be an idiot. It's a shame that such a model-like man is wearing such a poorly made outfit.

"Please, take off your clothes."

Yeah, that's not something a girl should say to a man she's just met...

"These, terrible, clothes, I can't, forgive, them!"

I pleaded desperately to the two wide-eyed men. If such a thing were to become fashionable in high society, I would not allow it.

"Is it really that bad?"

His expression was quite innocent, and despite being an older man, he looked young and charming. He seems to be quite indifferent to his appearance. Even with the poorly placed, expensive gemstones, his good nature probably makes him look normal to most people... but from my perspective, with my high-level seamstress skills, the fabric and decorations are high-quality, so it should be a high-level (in this world, status is divided into ranks, with no titles like Earl or Baron) person's outfit, and I want to demand better seamstresses.

"I will remake your clothes."

I'll show the value of a seamstress through the comfort of the clothes!
