Episode 253: The King's Capital Visterya and Change

"... I guess this is what it is for now. I don't think it's too bad..."

That's what Lorraine said, so I saw my robe.

Fortunately, my robe, which is highly resistant to magic, seemed capable of running magic only on the surface, and the shades have been completely changed.

My robe, which was pitch-black enough to swallow even the stars, has now turned into a sprinkling design with intricate texts on purple land.

"Did Lorraine also have design talent?

Even if I wanted to change my appearance, at best I thought the color would be bright red, yellow, or something like that, and that's what I wanted to ask because they had more authentic designs than I thought.

Then Lorraine shook her head,

"No, it's been popular in Imperial City lately, that's what it is. I don't wear it... but I borrowed it because it looks just right."

I answered that.

I see, is this a pattern that is popular in the heavenly metropolis, the imperial capital...

That means it is an advanced style in the world as well.

I still don't see it in country yards.

I think I'll walk with my chest up as super fashionable......

I think so.

... No, I don't think that's like me on a boulder... but sometimes...

It was Lorraine's words that made me return such strange thoughts.

"More than that, weren't you going to the Adventurers Union" Guild "headquarters?

"... it was. Speaking of which, what's Lorraine gonna do? Unlike me, you've been here a couple of times, haven't you?

Lorraine is silver with this, so she can usually get a request for an escort from Malt to the King's Capital or something solo.

Plus, I'm going to Kingsville for a little while because I don't get the materials I need for alchemy in Malt, and every once in a while, something happened.

At that time, naturally, he would also be going to the Adventurers' Union "Guild" headquarters, and he wondered if it would be bad for the boulders if it stayed that way.

"I'm me... see, how about this"

Say so and do some sorcery to yourself.

Then, there stood a distinct impression of Lorraine from earlier.

Wavy, flashy hair with makeup that accentuates each part considerably.

I'm wearing glasses, but it feels like it's further enhancing the alluring air I feel from the whole thing.

The clothes are also not the usual wild robes, but brightly decorated, with a strong urban impression.

I guess this also means the clothes that are popular in Imperial Capital.

I've never seen it in Yarlan... but I can tell it's sophisticated.

Overall, it seems to me that a rich and powerful witch sorcerer of unlikely age is likely to have both one and two habits.

When I get close, I feel like I'm done with burns.

... or bone like me.

Isn't that in the boulder?

"Much again... you've changed. I can see the breadth of what you can do with phantom magic..."

Magic that basically changes a person's appearance and outfit is called illusion magic, or change magic.

If you are not very proficient, there is little you can do, but as you gain proficiency, there is more you can do, and ultimately it is amazing magic that makes it possible to show it to someone else completely, including your height.

By way of example, it is an essential skill of a theatrical magician alongside phantom magic, but it is difficult inside to change to a human face and maintain it all the time, basically at best to be grabbed for messing with the outfit.

Yet it is this completeness of Lorraine.

Than academics and adventurers, that's a talent that's going to pull you off in the theater......

That's what I said. It was me, but Lorraine shook her head,

"... what are you talking about? I'm not using magic tricks. I just changed my clothes and my hair and put on makeup."

I said.

……

Oh, 'cause I don't care how you look at it... so seriously, I get close to Lorraine's face and stare at those parts and stuff.

"... true. You haven't changed anything about parts..."

In other words, it was only a change in pure cosmetic technology and clothing, so.

My hair hasn't changed color, it's just wavy to look luxurious.

"Haunted" in the original sense, so awesome.

That's why I say it.

"... you've turned it. Awesome."

"... you, rude. I'm on the woman's side, too. We can do this if we want."

"I didn't think I could do anything else. Even a face would be originally beautiful. I just thought you did a great job, even though that seems like a pain in the ass... what's up?

I was just impressed, when I was telling Lorraine that, for some reason, I turned around on the way.

Did you say something wrong?

I thought so, but I didn't say anything that problematic... I think.

Well, maybe the 'transformed' statement wasn't a good idea...

I remembered how many times I was told by adventurers who had or were married to malt lovers that they should not say that because women changed with makeup.

"... no. Nothing. There is no particular problem. Look, we're going to the Adventurers' Guild."

That's what Lorraine said and walked out.

……

Sure, there's nothing particularly offensive about that voice color.

Rather I even get the feeling that I'm playing somewhere... but what was it?

Well, he's saying he's nothing, so I can't help asking him any more.

That's what I think. Line up next to Lorraine.

When I get out of the alley, unlike earlier, I realize that the gaze of those who wait is pretty much pointed this way.

I also felt the magicians looking at me, wondering if I had eyes for Lorraine's flashy beauty.

Um, this is probably to say that the two of us in pretty advanced fashion were recognized as city fashionable.

... Isn't that too conspicuous?

I feel like it, but, well, I'm wearing unusual clothes, or so it would still be safe.

Not good if something goes wrong with this, but I don't feel like it...

And we get to the Adventurers' Union Guild.

It was a different big building from Malt's, and I felt something tremble just standing in front of it.

It's a place we haven't been able to reach for ten years.

Even with the odd trigger, I was happy to be visited.

"Well, let's go in"

That's what Lorraine said as the first to move on, so I followed suit.
