Vorpal Rabbit and Fortress Uncle

Home to the Knights of the Great Eagle, the Winged Fort was a spectacular corner of a vast estate, and a loud roar had been heard for hours.

"Hmm, I think I'd like a skirt." But I can see that it's floating when it's too fluttery... In pants style... hmmm "

Various types of clothes are scattered in a large room on the fifth floor of the building. From casual items like simple t-shirts, jeans, and oversized hoodies to cat-eared katuchas, bold see-through skirts, open chest and back dresses, and even dresses.

The senior maiden working in this mansion, Tama-san, was unexpectedly impressed while collecting and sorting them out one after another.

Master didn't think I'd be very interested in such offerings.

"That's right..." That's why I'm worried right now. "

Her husband (Master) spends most of his uptime exploring the field. Therefore, all the armor made by the production department of the "Knights of the Great Eagle" should have been in the costume. It was only a few days ago that a large quantity of cloth clothing was brought in that emphasized the beauty of the appearance rather than the combat functionality worn by the investigators throughout the city.

"I saved up because I didn't even use the bits, and I didn't know what to wear. In the meantime, I bought it for you, but I wonder if it was a bad idea."

Standing in front of the mirror, Ai, the master in the blue jersey that was the standard Knights training suit, was at a loss.

There is only one reason she is in trouble. Because I didn't have any clothes to wear to the date with Ledge that I won the other day when I took on [Black Pig's Fang Island].

Of course, she is a maiden who is ashamed of her flowers, and she is also a high school girl who leads brilliant youth days. I have clothes for when I go out with friends. However, that fashionable outfit is an ancient artifact that has been left out of fashion. I bought it in middle school with my mother in the first place. I think it was printed on a cat or something.

In the first place, I basically wear a uniform on weekdays, and when I come back, I just change into a room. I was not very interested in fashionable clothes because I am basically interested in games on holidays.

I didn't expect that Tsuke would beat me like this.

"Uuuu"

Please rest assured. Master is very poor in any outfit. ”

"I'm glad to hear that, but that's not the case..."

Eye cries as she hugs the fluffy fur of a maid. What she wants to know is not cute clothes, but clothes that she can praise. I can't help but be majestic here to know how to dress.

"Aniki, is the leader of the regiment here?"

Astra-sama is in her private room right now. Would you like to send a message?

"No, I'll go myself. Thank you."

I can't thank you enough. I'm just doing my job. "

Ai leaves Tama to tidy up the room and goes out into the hallway. On the fifth floor of the Winged Fort, there was only room for the Knight Commander and his deputy, as well as a private room for the Silver Wings. Outsiders rarely come. Almost like her parents' home, she goes to the chief's room in her blue jersey.

"Oh, it's not an eye." What's going on? "

Walking down the long corridor in vain, one of the slammed doors opens and Finne appears. It's a sloppy figure with a big, blurry shirt. She is usually called "Collapsing Fist" and is active as a fighter, but it is usually like this.

"I need to run an errand for the regiment commander."

"Oh....... but tomorrow's the date, right?"

Finne nodded and turned towards Ai. The eyes are narrowed to see something smiling, and there is also a snack in the mouth. In response to Finne's words, Ai bowed heavily.

"Oh, I can't believe it's such a date!"

“You're on a date, Ledge and I are alone for a day. In the meantime, the children of the [Shiraku-an] were inviolable. It's your chance to get close at once."

"Ugh, ugh..."

The story of Eye spending the day with Ledge is already known across the server. However, it was declared by Mel that there was no need to do anything other than the parties in order to do things fairly and impartially. She had half a day's restraint, but it was also true that she had saved herself.

Finne and the others naturally knew about Ai, so they supported him as an elder.

"But I don't know what to wear." So I was wondering if you could give me an opinion from a man. "

"No, don't use that guy as a reference."

Fine suddenly shook her head at the pounding eye. She squinted her shoulders at the bewildered eye.

"You're the kind of guy who comes to the ceremony with a sweatshirt and sandals?" No matter what you think, there's only a future in which accidents happen. "

"W-Was that what you said!?"

To the surprise of her sister, Ai unexpectedly rolled her eyes. There is too much common sense in anything.

Ai thanked Fine for the good fortune she had met before going to his brother. And you should report it to your mother, too, this.

"If you want clothes, I'll pick them for you and Risa."

Is that okay?

"Of course! If you're worried about your cute sister, it's your duty to help her." Besides, we're like professionals. "

Oh, that's right!

What an important thing I forgot. I want to hit myself on a date with Ledge.

Acting with Astra as a silver-wing corps, Fine and Lisa, both real and friends, are realistic and elegant female college students. They live a glamorous life through the city's rough weather, and they also model famous fashion media. There is no way that they won't help us.

"Well, what are you two talking about in the hallway?"

“Just in time! Liza will choose the clothes of Eye with you."

I see. I'll take care of it!

The elevator arrives and Lisa appears. She instantly understood the situation by showing the top player's unique speed of rotation. With thin eyes, Lisa jumped into her room. A few seconds later, changing from a battle robe to a T-shirt, she appeared holding her trunk case in both hands. It's when you carry items beyond your inventory capacity.

For now, I've brought about 200 clothes.

That's great. Let's try a lot of things with what's in my room.

Lisa and Fine nodded at each other. Ai unexpectedly trembled when he noticed that their appearance was unusual.

It felt like a weak animal appeared in front of a hungry carnivore. No, but only the two of you who treat me as a gentle sister. Even this time, he is personally consulting with me. That's how Ai persuades himself.

"Ufufu, don't be so scared."

“That's right, we're just exploring possibilities.”

"Huh. Ah, yes. Ah, your hands are soft..."

In response to Ai's words, the two answered with a smile and a full face. So Ai was taken to Fine's room.

†

The next day. The day Ay uses Ledge's one-day restraint. She stood in front of the fountain in the square at the corner of Wade, uneasily staring frequently.

Close enough to the central control area, the plaza stands out as a fountain and is used as a meeting place for many players. She was waiting for Ledge here, too.

"Well, I guess I arrived too early on the boulder..."

She confirms the time displayed on her arm's octagonal mirror. I felt restless in the morning and came an hour early. What has stood since then is how painful it is to be a deputy commander. Above all, I wanted to escape the warm gaze from my surroundings immediately.

"Ugh. I wonder if they look good." You don't look good, do you? "

Having said that, Eye looks down at her clothes. It was only yesterday that I received advice from Fine and Lisa. They were dressed one after the other in a variety of clothes, and they were exhausted to the brink of being forced to log out. Instead, the two of them were able to prepare a dress to press the drum, but Ai no longer knew whether it suited them or not.

Oops, you're here already.

"Haha!?"

As my sight moistened while I was lying down, I heard a voice. Eye raised her face as she was bounced, and she was surprised by the man who stood closer to her than expected.

"Hey, Ledge-san!? It's still about an hour early--"

There was Ledge with a troubled smile. They take off their usual combat clothes and change into casual outfits that are strangely stylish. Ai looked around unexpectedly, but could not find a girl with red ears or a white deer. It seems that he came alone under the inviolability treaty.

"It's foul language for Letty to keep a girl waiting." That's why I came early. At the same time, these clothes were also chosen by Letty and the others. Isn't that weird? "

"Ahh! It's not weird at all!" I think Ledge-san in clothes is also good! "

You're not used to wearing it, are you? Ledge looks anxiously for advice. Ai hurriedly raised his thumb and spoke forcefully.

Ledge's outfit, Lettie's Select, is a simple composition of jeans with deformed ruffles printed on the shirt and a loose outerwear. But that's why Ledge's unpretentiousness is so commonplace. Eye secretly shuttered the screenshot.

"Ah, letty told me not to tell you." I'm sorry, forget it. "

"Fufu. Got it."

Ledge puts his hand on my neck. Ai nodded with an unexpected smile. The camel printed on the shirt looks a little puffy. But I thought I'd forgive you for this.

With renewed vigilance, Eye sends her gaze towards Ledge.

"Well, Mr. Ledge, isn't my clothes weird?"

"Yeah? I think it's cute as usual." Well, is it unusual for Eye to wear personal clothes? "

With all his courage, Ledge returned it to Eye. With a little bit of frustration, Ai hid his mouth in more joy.

"I got Fine and Lisa to choose me." I'm usually only wearing armor. "

"Huh. Those two."

Eye keeps talking so that she doesn't understand the expression. Ledge nodded his gaze into the air, thinking about the two of them.

Yeah, it looks good on you.

"Fufufu"

Again, Eye unintentionally suppresses the leaked voice.

Today her outfit is red sneakers, shorts and a loose hoodie with a casket. As Finne says, it's a town walking date fashion that doesn't overstretch. Ai was trembling that more than half of his feet would be exposed, but Lisa asserted that it was a sin not to show her raw feet, so she was pushed away.

Well then, time is fast, but let's go soon.

Oh, I'm going to hang out with you everywhere today.

"Nhi. Thank you very much!"

Ledge nodded with a gentle smile, and Eye walked out in a giddy motion. She peers into a window of notes that she sees and confirms what she wants to do today.

"Well then, let's go to the art square first." There's a lot of artwork made by players and NPCs. ”

"That sounds interesting. Let's go. Let's go."

I don't know much about combat players, but there are many tourist destinations in each city. Ai was also going to fully enjoy the many attractions he could not go to because he did not usually have time.

She grabs Ledge's hand and goes down a crowded street.

"What a surprise." I can't believe Letty's being quiet. "

Meanwhile, Letty and the others were all in the box seat of Coffee (Xintiandi) in the corner of Wade. Letty replies to Amy as she swallows the Neapolitan tongue she was eating and tilts the cup of tea.

Well, it's true that you lost the match.

”Nevertheless, I was surprised when I went out with Ledge to pick out clothes or gave her a guide to go early.”

Lacto with a cocoa drink and a white beard around the mouth. Letty looks disgruntled at her words.

"Letty doesn't want to lock up Mr. Reggie, either." Thank you for taking care of Ai-san. "

In response to Letty's words, Toka and the others look at each other. Then, with a sad expression, I looked at Letty.

Are you okay? Are you not feeling well?

You should eat more rice.

"Ngh! What do you think of Letty?"

Letty was indignant at the unwanted companions.

"...... If you're going to spend the day with Mr. Ledge anyway, you want to have a good time, don't you?"

Letty wrapped the leftover Neapolitan tongue in a fork and ate it, draining the water all at once and saying to herself:

Besides, Mr. Reggie, if Letty didn't say anything, I'd go in my usual combat clothes.

Well, that's impossible.

Letty was indignant when she remembered Ledge, who was saying it with a face that seemed to have nothing to think about. The lactos who helped me choose the costume had no choice but to nod.

"Hey, ladies over there. Would you like a cup of tea with me?"

Then suddenly, Letty and the others heard a cheerful voice. They looked back at each other with a grumpy look when they were watched.

"Excuse me, but that's fine..."

Two executives of the [Knights of the Great Eagle] stood behind Letty. Lactos are surprised to meet unusual people.

Is it okay for the tactical team to play in this place?

"It's okay." The deputy commander of my group is playing with it. "

Finne sits down in the box, smiling bitterly at Lacto's question. Lisa bowed her head and joined next to her.

They were both wearing sunglasses, hats, and masks that looked rather suspicious. When Finne took them off, she exhaled and weakened.

"What do you want from the Silver Wings?" Even in such a disguise. "

"Ufufu, you know that."

Fine smiled unstoppably.

Lettie said with a little anxiety.

"You don't have to do anything for a day today." Lettie's holding out here, too. "

"I know." I don't want to make a big deal out of it. --But don't they all want to know what's going on? "

That said, Finne opens the window. It was a bulletin board dedicated to the band of the Knights of the Great Eagle. There, new writes are made one after the other, and the string flows from bottom to top.

The two of them are now in the sculpture square.

I'm holding hands! Nice!

You've decided on the vice commander's clothes.

It was focused on a specific person, no matter what.

"It's a bad hobby to take a peek."

No, it just so happens that the gang members who happened to be there are reporting on the latest developments without even noticing.

"It's a slip, isn't it?"

Fine with a bad smile. The lactos are dumbfounded by the explanation. Then Lisa explained with a troubled face.

"It's not like we're giving instructions." Everyone in the Knights said they were taking a vacation today, and they started to move freely. "

"I see. Well, I guess so."

In other words, the Knights were also concerned about the deputy commander's behavior. Seeing Eye smile defenselessly, everyone in this broadcast must be blending in with the average player. It is demonstrating a high level of strength as an attacking team in a strange direction.

"We don't know what we're going to do today either." It seems that Eye will escort you.

"The Arts Square is here, isn't it? Do you like this kind of thing?"

Letty opens a guidebook based on the information on the board.

"She likes museums, too." So is music, and creative activity may be good. ”

Fine thought of the girl. For her, she was the sister of a friend, but she thought of herself like a real sister. The same holds true for Risa.

"Originally, Ai didn't intend to join the Knights." But when we said we couldn't, we pushed the deputy commander. I think you've been seeing me a lot. "

"Was that so?"...... Ai-san, it looks good to take care of you, doesn't it? "

Letty nodded to Fine's words.

The Knights of the Great Eagle was originally the predecessor of the Silver Winged Knights that existed before the band system was implemented. I added an eye to it, further increasing the number of team members and increasing its size. There, they seemed to feel guilty.

But I don't think Ei-san hates it, either.

Oh, is that so?

Letty's firm voice. Lisa is puzzled.

Letty loosened her mouth and pointed at the window of the band board.

I'll talk to you all later.

A short sentence was there. What I wrote was an eye like no other.

Eek

Fine unexpectedly screamed. Seeing that, Letty smiled.

"I know the Knights in disguise." If you don't like it, you can't go this far. "

That's true, too.

Finne laughs and closes the window. Don't be unnecessary from here on out.

"More than that, please listen to me." If Ledge-san were to wear his usual fighting clothes to Ai-san today-- "

Letty takes care and talks back.

”Fufufu. It seems that Ai has been struggling with things until the day before.”

Finne and the others, on the other hand, start talking.

It's still a long day. Even at the coffee shop, flowers were beginning to bloom in the busy stories.

†

The time of dusk is approaching. The humidity of Wade increases, and more combat workers return from the field. Eye and Ledge walked slowly as the flow of the denser people turned to them.

“Thank you for the day.”

"I had a good time, too. I didn't know there were so many interesting places in Wade."

Both of them were a little bit fatigued, but more than that, they were more satisfied with today's experience. Especially Ai's expression was full of vitality.

I was able to thoroughly enjoy the tourist attractions in the city of Wade, including the art square. I thoroughly enjoyed searching for hidden famous shops, having tea at popular coffee shops, and doing things that I could not do in my usual strategy play.

Ai looks at the list of things he wants to do. Most of what was written there could be digested.

Today will be an important day.

Whoa, looks like he's doing something over there.

When Eye was emotionally impressed, Ledge noticed something. There was some crowd at the point he pointed out. When the two of them approached, they heard lively music coming from beyond the human wall.

It's a street show, isn't it?

It's so popular.

It was a performance by three cute humanoid girls. He plays guitar, keyboard, and drums, singing lofty songs. In the up-tempo song, the people who walked also stopped and shook their bodies.

"You guys from < Love Call >, right?" I was playing here today... "

Do you know that?

Ledge was surprised at the eye that said the names of Sarari and the three units. Ai nodded with a blush on his cheek.

"Well, I like that too..." "Love Call" is an up-and-coming band that made its debut recently. Every song is confusing, but it's better again. "

Huh?

Ledge stops and listens to the singing of the three girls. After listening to their songs for a while, a window with a twist appears. Maybe one of the members has a trading skill.

In this game, I was able to live by art alone without leaving the town at all.

Speaking of which, did Ai sing in the street originally?

"Well, yeah.... it's been a long time."

Ledge suddenly remembered and nodded her eyes. It's a past I don't really want to touch, but it's a fact.

"I'd like to hear Ai's song again." This time it's not a singing fight. "

"I-I see..."

Probably not aware of anything. In a casual state of mind, Ledge wandered his gaze.

Long, long list of things to do. There was a line written behind it. But I couldn't get it out.

"Les, Ledge-san..."

The day is almost over. But it wasn't over yet.

Ai shook his hand with courage. Looking up at the strangely leaning ledge, she opens her mouth.

"Will you just hang out with me a little longer?"

Yeah, that's fine.

A frivolous twist.

Eye nods and walks out.

"Well, there's a rental space over here. ― ― It's a place with all the instruments.

"Huh. I'm looking forward to it."

The two of them have a little more day to go.
