Volume 10 Chapter 9: Ice Empire Intelligence
As I came out of the alley I spotted Oyado, who had changed clothes, along with Princess Snow.
I'll put Ryuuhime aside for the moment. She's an assassin anyways, she shouldn't do anything outrageous.
Oyado wore an evening dress. A short purple skirt matched with short black hair is simply a foul move.
Normal lolicons will be unable to control themselves! If I found out that someone touched Oyado I'll destroy them. Oyado should be safe in school though.
......
"That's not right!"
I walked over to them.
"Are we going to see his majesty? Why are you wearing evening gowns? It's not a dinner party or something......"
"Ah. I forgot that you aren't a noble......"
Princess Snow looked like she was at her wit's end.
"Fir, please spend some time read a few books on imperial etiquette. It's natural that a young girl like Oyado would wear an evening gown. What else would she wear?"
"Yeah......" I gave a bitter smile.
I don't really care. After all, I normally just play games. The first thing I look for in clothes is their stats, then I check their appearance and mission specific requirements. Who would care what you are wearing aside from that.
If it weren't that the stats of the clothing aren't that good in this world, I would have gone and collected some high powered gear already.
But the clothes in this world only increase defense at most. Bonuses aside from that...... some add a little bit of speed, some add a little bit of attack, but the effects aren't that noticeable.
So I just went for the second option and picked clothes that just looked good.
But to be honest, as for what is a special occasion and what clothes to wear, I haven't looked into those at all.
It seems like I have a book on the clothing of the Elves......
Forget it. Since I have authority over here, I'll just hand over authority to deal with it.
"Then I don't need to change? I am a teacher after all......"
"Um......no. You'll need to change. Kubes!"
"Your Highness, what is it?"
"Take Mr. Lin over to change into a formal evening dress. Right, if you can't find the right clothes in a short amount of time take him over to the Marshall's home. Didn't they say that they recently made an formal dress with mithril in it?"
"I understand."
The old butler responded with formality.
"Wait a minute. Who's going to protect the you?"
I asked Princess Snow.
"It's ok. I have Irlin and Oyado with me~"
"......Ok."
I looked at Oyado.
"Oyado, take good care of the Princess. Contact me with the headphones if you have any questions."
"It's fine, leave them to me big brother!"
Oyado said with confidence.
"This way please."
With that the old butler stepped down from the carriage and gestured towards the men's dorms.
That's right. It was some sort of dormitory for male nobles......
——————————Kirishima and Haruna don't love me————————
(TL: They're from the Kantai Collection)
It was dark when I left the men's dorm with a new outfit.
Well, it would be better if I described the clothes. This new outfit has the same defensive strength as normal soft armor, but it's very light and it has properties that strengthen magical attacks. I'm not worthy to call it equipment.
"Say sir."
But we don't have a carriage, so we are walking to our next destination at a brisk pace.
It's faster than the carriage is......but the trip is quite boring, so I talked to him instead.
"Maa, what's up?"
"You should be extremely relieved that my sister is protecting Princess Snow."
"Ha ha ha. You know about that better than I do. If your sister wanted somebody to die it would be impossible for me to stop it. Because of her strength, anyone daring to get close to Princess Snow is looking for death."
"I didn't actually expect that you would be able to see that sir."
"But......if it were you, I'm not quite as certain."
"Why do you say that?"
"Because I don't thing that you are strong, but you can quickly become stronger."
"You're telling me that you are guiding me at such a fast pace to test me?"
"Ha ha ha. You walk faster than the guards anyways, that's all I can say. Okay, we're here."
With that he stopped in front of a snack shop that didn't seem to be too popular.
I was almost scared by him and rushed a bit past before stopping.
Fortunately there was nobody in our path, or they would think we were some sort of crazy.
"This sort of small shop again? It seems His Majesty loves such simple shops."
"If you say so......that's right."
The butler smiled before heading into the store and nodding to the clerk at the door.
And that clerk......well, it's strange to see them here. The clerk was clearly a spy for the Ice Empire.
Because his titles had[Ice Empire Spy]in it. I'll keep an eye out in other cities, I might be able to find more of them.
