The day after I joined Rita and Leticia.

Me and Leticia decided to check the effect of the item the Virgin gave us.

"... really, can I get an item from the Virgin...?

"The Virgin said 'to Leticia'. Look, I've got a letter for you too."

I handed Leticia a round parchment. [M]

When I met Leticia, she told me to give it to her.

"... 'Dear Sir, I give this to Leticia'... it's true"

Leticia opened the parchment and sighed, Phew.

Then hold it in your chest and close your eyes.

"Holy Virgin...... thank you. This Leticia-Milfe... I will use this item for justice, as the Virgin expects."

"Good for you. Leticia."

The Virgin said, 'I regret that I was attacked lightly by Leticia, so I decided to strengthen her the other way around' - but it doesn't seem to say that in the letter.

... Let's keep it quiet. Yeah.

"The Virgin gave you the sword and the shield,"

Leticia took out the items that were in the bag.

The sword has a plaid braid.

The Virgin said it was for lighter weight, but it's strong. Exactly.

The other is a circular shield (round shield) with chains.

Leticia has a shielded cheat skill. I guess you cared.

"So long, Mr. Nagi. Could you stick to the experiment?

That's what Leticia saw in me.

"I realized about this one. We have to be stronger," he said.

"... that? Leticia just walked out of the mansion, didn't she?

"Yeah. The mansion got out fine. Even when the Tanaka-Koga guys attacked me... I honestly thought I could win. But without Mr. Katras, I think it would have taken longer."

Leticia said so, staring at the Virgin's sword.

"Tanaka-Koga, if you had trouble with your opponent, the chaser from the mansion might have come too. Of course, Rita would have been able to take them all together... but she can't risk your precious' spirit link 'opponent."

"So you want to be strong, you mean?

"Wow, I'm not your slave. I want to make the most of my chances of being strong. As a nobleman, to grow."

With that said, Leticia gave her sword.

It's like I'm swearing to the Virgin I'm not here.

... I knew it would be amazing. Leticia is.

"Okay. Well, let's do an item experiment. I'm interested in seeing what the sword and shield the Virgin gave me."

"Thank you. Well... the instructions say it's a good idea to check your sword's abilities first."

Leticia answered as she looked at the parchment.

Do you have instructions? Wow, Virgin, the attention is perfect.

"They say the name of this sword is Boost Sword."

"From the name, a sword that becomes more powerful, is that what it is?

"Touch it and see for yourself."

"... can I touch it?

"Yeah. The instructions say, 'It's an unexpected ability for Nagi-kun, too. If you can guess what it's like, Delilah will give you a compliment."

"I wonder what the Virgin is fighting against..."

"Just do as the Virgin tells you."

"I don't own this sword, so I don't know what it's like to touch it."

In the meantime, I got permission, and I touched it.

As I saw the pattern is knitted. In the middle of my body, I see strange texts.

Looking at the braids somehow reminds me of the 'yarn of magic' I always use.

If you use your instincts to make it work...

"A magical sword, huh?

"... what made you think that?

"The knitted part seemed to make the magic seem easier somehow. And because the central letter was like an indicator of the amount of magic. If I were the Virgin, I'd think about the amount of Leticia magic that would make me something like this."

"... the instructions say, 'Eh, the sword is made by Delilah with a common sense idea! I can't regret being able to do this!! Shields are a more challenging item!! It says'."

"So what is the Virgin fighting against?!? Or is it a hit!?

"Next time I see the Virgin, shall I tell you that Mr. Nagi's predictions are off......?

"Holy Virgin, I had the skills to spot lies before."

"... well, let's experiment anyway"

"... let's do that"

In the meantime, the problem was shelved and we decided to experiment with the 'boost sword'.

First, Leticia grips the sword pattern with both hands.

If you close your eyes and use your magic...

Phew, no, no, no, no.

The inscribed letters began to glow in sequence from the bottom.

"" Whoa, whoa, whoa!

Unexpectedly voiced.

I knew it was amazing. Virgin. I can't make something like this.

That's the great Virgin Delilah.

"At the position of the full light, they know how much magic is left. Well, you can hide the light."

"When you have magic, does the sword also increase in power?

"Yeah. It looks like you can also use the magic you've stored on your skills. I'll give it a shot."

Leticia took a deep breath, suddenly, holding the sword.

The sword indicator gradually rises.

And when it reached the top, Leticia opened her eyes and...

"Activate 'Forced Courtesy (Manor Gears)'! Hi, I'm Leticia-Milfe!!

I turned to the window in the room and lowered my head.

"Nyah," "Nyah, Nyah."

A cat walking on the walls of the wall lowered her head, "This is great," she said.

The magic I used...

"About a third, right?"

"Because they're cats."

"If you're a human or demonic opponent, is it about half? If you build up magic in your sword in advance, you'll be able to use Forced Courtesy more often."

"Besides, it's cool to put your sword in front of your body and say hello, like a knight."

"I kind of get it. Greeting with a sword in your hand is also a courtesy of nobility. It's supposed to put a sheath on it and point the pattern to the ground."

"So that's what we're gonna do now?

"Right. You may try."

With "Boost Sword" in his sheath, Leticia cheered.

"I am a nobleman, too. I'd like to take care of the courtesy. You can't look embarrassed in front of someone else."

"... I'd like Leticia to teach me how to be polite, too"

I don't seem to be going out on social occasions myself.

But it's not a bad idea to learn how to be polite in this world. Sometimes you might need that kind of knowledge.

"Fine, but my education is pretty tough, isn't it?

"I'm ready."

"Pfft. Okay, when you get a chance. I will show you an example, and then I will teach you Nagi. Being polite is important to the nobility."

Laughing Leticia took another item in her hand.

It's a round shield with chains on it.

Size, enough to hold with both hands. But it's pretty light.

It's made of silver metal, and by the way, it has a water-colored pattern.

It looks like the body is made of soft, water-colored material.

"What is that shield capable of?

"Because of this, let's take it for granted. I think I'm" The Shield That Will Come Back When You Throw It. "

"I see. Because it's chained? Then I'll be the shield of immense magic when I swing it."

"You're going to grip the chain and spin it around. That's what the Virgin would make."

"So, what's the right answer?

"Wait a minute. Er..."

Leticia spread the parchment that was on her shield.

The name of the item in the instructions is...

"Bikini Armor Shield"

"............... Yes?" "............... Huh?

My eyes and those of Leticia lit up.

Leticia has a bright red face, staring at the instructions.

Looks like he's been reading it over and over again. But the contents remain the same.

The name of this shield is Bikini Armor Shield.

Its ability…….

"By saying a certain word, they transform it into a 'bikini armor'..."

"Wait a minute. Why would a shield be a 'bikini armor'? What does chain mean!?

"They use chains to connect parts of the body. In other words, the bikini string cost."

"Too unexpected!

"In the middle of the description, I have a message from the Virgin. I'm going to read it out.

'Hehe. This would have been unexpected. Nagi-kun. Oh, my God, you came up with that by combining words appropriately. I made a plate with each letter engraved on it and pulled it off again and again... until it was a word. I've had a hard time.' "

"Isn't the hardship in the wrong direction, Virgin?"

"'This time I did everything I could to poke Nagi-kun's mind. Nagi-kun wouldn't expect this shield to deform into a bikini armor, would he?

"I don't think so. I'm rather impressed by the diagonal."

"'Of course, it adds the best features properly. I have the ability to convert the Attraction of the wearer into Defense! Wow? Mr. Delilah. Wonder if it's amazing. No, no, no." "

"Awesome, Virgin, the Leticia line is getting better and better..."

"'I'd love to grab it later. So Rira, it's always over. Bye'..."

…………

…………

At some point, did I hunt down the Virgin? [M]

I feel kind of awesome and responsible.

But... it is the Virgin of the Throat and Face that comes to mind.

Sure, this' Bikini Armor Shield 'is unexpected. Wow, Holy Virgin.

"This' Bikini Armor Shield '... I'll try it on"

With a determined eye, Leticia declared.

"I don't think you have to. I guess I could use it as a shield normally."

"No. That Virgin made it for me. I don't mind if I don't make sure of all its features!

Right? The Virgin Delilah is an admirer for Leticia.

"Well, I'm in a separate room. Call me when you're done."

No, sir.

"Can't you!?

"This is an item made by the Virgin as a challenge to Mr. Nagi! Mr. Nagi be responsible and check your abilities to the end!!

"Uh."

"Uh, it's not. Wait a minute!!

Leticia took the shield and jumped out of the room.

After a while, there was a noise coming from the next room.

It's the sound of a shield deforming. Is that really going to be the bikini armor...?

"Thank you for your patience"

After a while, Leticia came back.

Dye your cheeks in shame and come before me.

White arms are creeping up.

I have thin chains on my shoulders. It was on the shield. It's a thick chain in the shield state, but that one seems to have been raised by a bunch of thin chains.

Further down the clavicle, we see something like a silver bikini.

It's covered in white cloth underneath, and I can't see it. Leticia, you're wrapping sheets around your body.

"This is an item made by the Virgin. Even in this state, you should be able to confirm your abilities."

"... yeah, you are"

"Why are you looking far away? Mr. Nagi?"

... Actually, I was just hoping.

Rita wore a bikini armor quite a while ago.

That looked great on me, so I wanted to see where Leticia wore it too...

Simply because I thought it would look great on Leticia as well.

... but can't you help it? Exactly. There's no bikini armor in public, is there?

"I think it's good, Leticia. Thin clothes on top will make it easier to move."

"Yeah. Now with a defense like regular armor, you can use it quite a bit."

"It moves faster, and you don't have to wear heavy armor, so your health is less drained."

"According to the Virgin's instructions, 'you can convert the wearer's charm into magic and put up barriers'. It also seems to protect the area without bikini armor."

"Good."

"What is it?

"I wondered what I would do if they told me to touch a protected part of the bikini armor to test my defense."

"... that's not exactly what I'm talking about."

"... right"

…………

Silence fell.

We face each other. [M]

... that I touch Leticia's chest as my best friend...?

I wonder what it is. I feel like I could do it normally.

Leticia thinks about it with her hands on her chin. Looks like he's thinking the same thing.

"That's better than that. Confirmation of defense, huh?

"Oh, right. Then touch my belly, Mr. Nagi."

"Okay. You're hungry, right?

"Yes, I'm hungry."

"... then"

"... Yes"

I swept over the sheet into Leticia's stomach.

It was soft.

"Hia!?

"... that?

Defensive barriers are not deployed?

I guess that means Leticia's stomach is usually soft and Leticia has a touch of me, too.

This... could be.

"Also, could it be that I have no attraction...?

"No, that's impossible"

"... Huh?

"It doesn't. That's impossible."

"Oh, it's impossible, Mr. Nagi!?

"Well, leave that alone"

"Don't hey or something! Explain it properly!

"It is unlikely that Leticia is unattractive. It is also inconceivable that the Virgin's items will not demonstrate their abilities... this means..."

"... uh, Mr. Nagi. You're already in analytics mode."

"I mean, isn't this item transforming 'Leticia's charm in bikini armor' into defense?

"? What do you mean?

"It's hard to say... but not if you're hiding your body with sheets."

"Ah..."

Leticia slapped her hand, pounding.

Looks like you figured it out.

"Indeed, it is an item made by the great Virgin Delilah. It must also make sense to be a bikini armor..."

"Yeah. I know Leticia trusts the Virgin."

"That's rude. I trust Nagi, too."

"No, that's not what I meant"

"Perhaps the Virgin gave me this item in the sense of testing my courage. In front of Mr. Nagi, see if he has the courage to expose his skin. Sure, you can't be a righteous nobleman if you can't seem to look like a 'bikini armor' in front of your best friend."

"No, I was wondering what that rationale was."

"... take a look. This is my Bikini Armor Shield!

Shiru, and Leticia dropped the sheets on the floor.

Bikini Armor showed up.

It was perfect.

The bikini body is made of silver metal, and the soft, water-colored material is used for the area that runs through the skin.

I wondered why it was water color...... yes, when I became a bikini armor, it was to match the color of Leticia's hair...... That's why it's dedicated to Leticia, isn't it, Virgin?

The metal part is small and manages to hide around the chest and hips.

Skin is exposed underneath the thin chains that connect each part.

Whenever Leticia moves a little, Shirana, and the metal parts sound.

Sure, I know exactly what it means to change charm to defense.

If I convert Leticia's charm in this bikini armor into defense, I wonder if there's about a full plate mail with magic defense.

"What do you say?"

"Ugh, yeah. I think it's beautiful."

"... Oh, really?

"... yeah. Surprised."

…………

…………

Me and Leticia staring at each other silently. What is this?

"In the meantime, shall we experiment"

"That's right."

Again, I reached for Leticia's stomach.

Keep your fingers close.

Bachi.

Bounced.

"" Whoa, whoa, whoa!

It worked great.

When I look around, I do see a slight barrier around Leticia - a translucent field of defense.

Wow. Holy Virgin. I can even make something like this.

"Sure, that's a hell of a defense. This..."

"Follow me with a stick for a second."

"Okay."

I tried to bring the blade pen pattern closer to Leticia.

... I knew it was played.

The sheath of the sword (saya) or even if I stick it in the corner of the book, it plays.

Wow. Is this the true ability of The Bikini Armor Shield......

"I guess I can be invincible with this"

"Unfortunately, it seems to consume magic to create defensive barriers. We don't spend much, but we can't just keep fighting forever."

"I guess I can use the magic of" Boost Sword "for" Bikini Armor Shield "because I'm talking about the Virgin."

"... Wow, Mr. Nagi. It does say that."

"Then it's perfect. Leticia can wear this and fight as a righteous nobleman."

"That's right, Mr. Nagi. I am like this, in front of people as a righteous nobleman..."

…………

…………

Me and Leticia looked at each other again.

Then I looked up at the ceiling lightly...... probably imagined the same thing.

I mean...

─ ─ Leticia in a bikini armor.

─ ─ Just show up to save someone being attacked by demons.

─ ─ "Forced Courtesy," stop the demon movement.

─ ─ "Boost Sword," defeat the demon.

─ ─ Greet me politely as a nobleman.

─ ─ I'm just leaving.

In "Bikini Armor".

"I can't... Whoa!

"That's right."

"I'm ashamed even in front of my best friend Nagi, but there's no way I can fight like this in front of a stranger! I didn't mean to be polite.

"Probably, Virgin. I think something else just slipped out of my head thinking about taking my predictions off."

"... It's not the Virgin's fault. The very ability of this item is wonderful. The ability itself…"

Leticia crouches back, starts bumping and crushing.

When I look at my back where I can barely see the chains, I know exactly what I'm doing.

This Bikini Armor Shield is great as an item.

It's converting charm into defense, so it consumes less magic. Defense is the strongest.

I'm just so embarrassed to wear it and get out in public.

"............ I'm going to use this on a quest without people"

"... right"

You can't go out in public like this.

"I don't think people will see Leticia that way either."

"............... Really?

Leticia looks back.

I nodded,

"Yeah. Somehow, I feel that way"

"Yes... so this is for a secret quest with no one but Mr. Nagi."

"Right."

"... that sounds like fun. Mr. Nagi."

He said, "No, I think I'd like to see Leticia play a part in that."

"Hmm. Look forward to it."

"Let's experiment more with defensive barriers. If you wear a cape, maybe you can put up a barrier."

"That's good. But..."

Leticia held her chest in embarrassment and turned her back on me.

"Well, today's the day, that's the limit. I'll get dressed."

Then, while reading the instructions, I opened the door and...

"Hmm. That's the Virgin. This Bikini Armor Shield automatically returns to the shape of a shield."

"Automatically?

"Yeah. He said we should cast a secret spell." Put yourself together, my clothes. Go back to the circle. "

Pan.

'Bikini Armor' came off Leticia's body.

I fell on the floor.

Ha, ha.

He automatically pulled in and deformed and returned to the circular shield (round shield).

"" ……… ah ""

It seemed like time had stopped.

Leticia's still holding her white back against me, stiff.

Eventually...

That's right, that's right, that's right! Psst!

I ran down the hallway, and I heard the sound of going back to my room.

After a while, Leticia came back in her clothes...

"... Nagi."

"... yeah. Leticia."

Me and Leticia exchanged glances.

That's my best friend. Somehow, but I can see what you're thinking.

"" Do it straight from the start (yes) (let's)!!

Then me and Leticia started over from the point of unpacking the Virgin.

"This is a shabu-shu-doo."

"From what I can tell, is it embarrassing?

It feels like... like nothing happened.

But...

"... Nagi. Your face is red, can't you handle it?

"... Leticia is the one"

"" ……… Ugh ""

There was nothing we could do to lighten each other up.
