Chapter 19: Disorder

After a brief chat with Lucius, I took him into a store.

“Oh, oh, hello.”

A blond man greeted us with his voice booming.

His hair was slicked back, he was wearing a white shirt with white frills on top, and light pink, tight-fitting pants.

“Welcome to the best salon in Normandy.”

“Let’s go.”

“Why, why are you like that?!”

“It’s embarrassing.”

“Now, wait a minute!!”

The man reached out and went inside.

There was a rustling sound inside, and he came out in less than a minute.

“Welcome to the salon, ma’am.

I’m the general manager here, ‘Cospaco!”

“Wow.”

The man who had been so burdensome suddenly transformed into a gentleman in a suit.

“You feel like a hotel manager.”

“If it’s more convenient for you, I’ll take care of the customers here.

What do you think?”

“It’s more comfortable than before.

We came here to buy clothes.”

I pointed at Lucius.

“I’m going to register as an adventurer, so please help me with my outfit.”

“Do you pursue practicality or style?”

“I’ll put seven layers of protective magic on your body, so don’t think about practicality.”

“Is that so…?”

Cospaco licked his lips at Lucius.

“T-Master…?”

“Why?”

“Something makes me feel uneasy….”

“It’s okay.

What’s wrong with guys like you?”

“That’s why I’m even more uneasy.”

“Hehe, don’t worry.”

Cospaco continued to lick his tongue as he approached Lucius.

“He’s well-built, but not too unusual, and he’s a standard-sized build with some real muscles…

It’s great.

With this body type, clothes really bring out his style…

Wow, his muscles are really…

The lines are pretty.”

“Master…?”

“Please match the budget here.”

I flicked gold coins at Cospaco.

“Everything, even the underwear.”

“How would you like the colors to match?”

“I’ll take care of that.”

“As you command, lady.”

Cospaco caught the gold coin flying through the air with his hand, then grinned and led Lucius inside.

“Ugh, ugh…!

Where are you touching?!”

“Hold on.

Of course I need to measure it to make it fit your body type.”

“Ugh, ugh…”

I could hear Lucius screaming from inside, but I didn’t care.

A tailored suit suits you much better than an old tunic.

Lucius is a warrior.

It’s much better for a warrior like that to wear stylish clothes than old clothes.

The reason?

He’s my disciple, so I can’t take him around looking ugly.

A disciple is a mirror reflecting their master.

If I were to dress the warrior of the Holy Sword sloppily, I, as their master, would be criticized.

And there was another ultimate reason why I had to make Lucius look cool.

I have to seduce women.

Lucius was handsome.

If you think about how SaintYanDierre fell in love with Lucius the moment she saw his face, many women he will meet in the future will fall in love with him the moment they see him.

Even though he was a beggar, YanDierre fell in love with him, so what would happen if he wore a suit like the Hero of the Holy Sword?

Women would swarm him like flies!

All kinds of women, including the Saint, would approach Lucius with interest, and I would choose the women who would be most helpful in conquering the Demon King and make them Lucius’s companions.

The so-called Lucius Harem Project.

The best companions for a hero are those that are tied together through love.

I have watched countless hero parties.

And I have come to one conclusion.

If it’s not a sweaty or harem party, it’s all bound to fall apart.

Unless it’s a macho party made up entirely of men,

Rather, a party consisting of one handsome man and a group of women who flank him and squeal at him lasts the longest.

If the latter has a male companion who is a porter or a weakling?

The warrior party is doomed.

And the women who feel a sense of loss in that one empty spot become obsessed with him, or the warrior goes to find the man and the women hate and envy the man who is receiving the warrior’s attention.

I’ve seen too many warrior parties that have been ruined like that.

How many times during my Demon Lord days did I ruin the hero party with my slander and scheming?

‘Have Lucius seduce capable women and use them as fighters.

Girls who fall for Lucius’s words.’

So the answer is a harem party.

If I keep only the women who adore and love Lucius as my companions, there won’t be any big problems.

I’m smart after all.

A hero party that won’t fail.

At the same time, the best party that can seal the Demon Lords will be created.

In order to do that, Lucius has to be able to make any woman’s heart flutter…

“Oh.”

“Master…?”

A white coat and black shirt.

It may seem monotonous, but since Lucius’ original was so good, it felt like Lucius was eating up the clothes.

“As expected.

If this continues like this, I’ll make a lot of women cry.”

“I, is that so…?”

He was embarrassed, but he didn’t seem to dislike it.

Now, if Lucius just walked with a confident face, the women around him would smile faintly.

‘This is it.’

I was truly satisfied with the thought that I had spent an entire gold coin.

“Thank you for your hard work.”

“Lady, I would like to ask for your understanding on one thing.”

“Yes?”

“Even after spending one gold coin, there is still a lot of money left.

I would like to make you a set of clothes, Lady….”

“Me?”

Cospaco’s eyes were filled with the madness that could only be seen in the demons of the Demon World.

“I only need a robe.”

“Don’t you need clothes to wear under the robe?

Don’t worry.

I can make you everything.”

“Uh…”

“Master.”

Lucius was standing behind me before I knew it.

“If my disciple is wearing these clothes, how can you, Master, wear shabby clothes?

It doesn’t reflect your dignity.”

“Is that so?”

It makes sense.

If Lucius dresses up nicely and I walk around shabbily, it might seem like I’m Lucius’ s*ave wizard, not a priest.

‘That won’t do.’

With the Demon King’s pride, how could I be treated as Lucius’ s*ave?

“Then I’ll let you choose the clothes.”

“Huh?”

“I just had an idea.”

I pointed to one of the clothes on the shelf.

“Can you alter this for me?”

“Which clothes….”

“This kind of clothing.”

The exact same clothes that the red-light magician used to wear.

A bit plain, but still a design that clearly reveals her identity as a ‘witch.’

“Like this…”

Wait a minute.”

Cospaco grabbed the bottom I was trying to grab.

“Are you going to wear this?”

“Really?”

“No.”

“What do you mean, no…”

Boohoo.

Cospaco ripped the skirt.

“Guests like you shouldn’t wear skirts that go below the knees!!!”

Even if a dragon roared, it wouldn’t have been this powerful.

“Lady!

I’ll make you a skirt!

Please wear this!”

“Are you crazy?”

I swore involuntarily.

“What kind of skirt is this!!

There’s a limit to vulgarity!!”

“It’s trendy!

This is a ‘miniskirt’!

It’s a popular design even in the Red Moon Goddess Church!

Even women who dig potatoes don’t wear skirts like this!!”

“Ha, you should just take everything off!!”

“Ah!

Are you looking for the design of the Changwol Goddess Church?”

“What…?”

Cospaco pointed to the mannequin next to him.

I looked at the mannequin and thought of the clothes that YanDierre and the people of the Blue Moon Goddess Church were wearing.

“This…clothes?”

“It’s the nun’s habit introduced by the Pope of the Changwol Goddess Church.”

“Where is the nun’s habit?

No, isn’t this really crazy?”

I pointed to the line that goes from the pelvis to the thigh.

“They’re revealing all of their legs!!”

“It’s trendy!!”

“It’s lewd!

It’s incredibly depraved!

Is the church in their right mind?!”

The Pope of the Changwol Goddess Church had to be crazy.

“But Lady.

Since introducing this saint’s habit, the Changwol Goddess Church has been enjoying its heyday.”

“What?

Why?

Why?”

“Well….”

Cospaco gave a thumbs up.

“Since the introduction of these nun’s habits, the number of believers who have converted to the Changwol Goddess Church has increased exponentially.”

“…”

“The number of children has also increased rapidly, and the number of people working in the church has also increased tremendously.

It’s become a huge trend in social circles, I hear?

Would you like to come this way?

Take a look.”

The place Cospaco showed her was truly a new world.

A new world where miniskirts were considered quite modest.

“So…

these are what nobles wear?

These see-through clothes?”

“They’re called see-through.”

“What is this?

What kind of crazy woman wears a white t-shirt with black underwear?”

“It’s fashion.”

“What is fashion!!”

“You could say that it’s a trend that everyone else wears like this.”

“This is ridiculous!!”

Unbelievable.

Even the people in the warrior’s village right now were wearing plain, ordinary clothes just like 500 years ago!

“I can’t believe it!

Only girls who sell flowers at night wear things like that.

Where the hell do they wear such flashy clothes?!”

“That’s a bit…

Lady, everyone dresses like this.”

“Huh?!

Then let’s watch for a while!!”

I pointed to the window on the other side of the salon.

“30 minutes!

I’ll observe the women entering the Adventurer’s Guild for 30 minutes, and if there are a lot of them wearing clothes like this, I’ll make sure to wear a miniskirt!”

“Do you think I’m trying to scam you by making you wear this?”

“No?

You pervert.”

Cospaco just laughed quietly and guided me to the window.

“I’ll make some tea, Lady.”

“You, you.

Why are you so calm?”

“If you see the women of the Adventurer’s Guild of all places, you will fully understand what I mean.”

“…Adventurers are some kind of joke?

Huh?

In a situation where your life is at stake, even a woman has to wear full plate armor…”

I.

Did.

See.

A procession of adventurers who seemed to have chosen outfits that were more shameless and revealing than the habits of the nuns of the Changwol Shinkyo.

“W-what is that?!

Why isn’t anyone saying anything when they’re just wearing underwear?!”

“It’s bikini armor.”

“Those people…adventurers?”

Is this even okay, Middle-earth?

“Miniskirts, they’re somewhat modest, aren’t they?”

Alright. Let’s destroy them.

To restore the modesty of five hundred years ago.
