Chapter 323

Armor Delivery
A few days after notifying them that the armor was complete, the adventurers from Galette County arrived in Vardmoi via bird courier.
Since my shop strictly prohibits men from entering, I couldn't handle the delivery there. Instead, as always, I rented a room in the Adventurers' Guild for the handover.
Still, having twenty Red-rank adventurers in one place was quite an intimidating sight.

"Oh! So this is our new armor!"

"Yes. You requested decorative embellishments, so I added them. What do you think?"

"A leather armor with this level of ornamentation? Incredible! I want to try it on right away—would that be okay?"

"Of course. If any final adjustments are needed, I can take care of them on the spot."

I was surprised when the women in the group started changing into their armor right then and there.
Apparently, since they weren’t exposing their bare skin, they had no issue being seen by men while changing.
Personally, I’d be too embarrassed to do that—guess I’m just not cut out to be an adventurer.

"… It fits well. Did you enchant it with something?"

"I included Auto-Regeneration and Quick Dry as standard features. I heard that armor can get quite stuffy."

That suggestion came from the Wildcat’s Claws.
Regardless of whether armor is made of leather or metal, it completely encases the body, making it prone to trapping heat and moisture.
If that dampness persists, not only does it make the armor uncomfortable to wear, but it can also cause it to deteriorate faster.
By applying a Quick Dry enchantment, I hoped to improve both durability and comfort.
Of course, after hearing that advice, I immediately enchanted the Wildcat’s Claws gear with Quick Dry as well.

"A Quick Dry enchantment? That exists?"

"Well, I know about it and can apply it, so it clearly does. With this, you should experience much less discomfort from prolonged armor wear."

"That’s a nice touch. Even small details like this make a big difference. No one likes the feeling of damp armor sticking to their body."

Seems like everyone hated the idea of feeling damp.
After checking the fit of the armor on all of them, I confirmed that there were no issues.
Well, thanks to Magic Tailoring, any minor discrepancies in fit automatically corrected themselves.
Magic Tailoring is truly an amazing technology.

"Alright, that wraps up the armor handover. Here’s the payment. Now we just need to return to Galette County and find some underarmor to go with it."

"Huh? You’re getting new underarmor too?"

"Yeah, that’s the plan. Do you have anything good?"

"Well, if you’re looking for quality, I do have something suitable for high-ranking adventurers—it’s made of silk, though."

I pulled an Ogre Spider Silk underarmor set from my backpack.
Since a single layer of silk would be too thin, I had layered multiple sheets to craft this durable masterpiece.

"That? It just looks like an ordinary, well-made piece of clothing to me."

"Just watch. This fabric… does this."

I grabbed the sleeve of the underarmor and gave it a sharp tug.
The fabric stretched smoothly in response.
This was the first notable feature of Ogre Spider Silk underarmor—exceptional elasticity.

"Huh. That’s interesting. But is that all?"

"It also has incredible blade resistance. Go ahead, try cutting it."

"Are you sure? My sword is meant for Red-rank adventurers."

"It should be fine. Give it a go!"

"A-Alright… Whoa! It really doesn’t cut!"

The adventurer swung his sword down with force, but the underarmor absorbed the impact, stretched downward, and then rebounded, deflecting the blade.
Not a single scratch or mark was left on the fabric.
Well, I had tested this plenty of times in my shop, so I knew what to expect!

"This is some insane underarmor. How much does it cost?"

"It’s a bit pricey, but how about this?"

"Hmm… That’s a steep price for underarmor, but considering it’s more protective than standard armor, it’s reasonable."

"What are you talking about? You can’t put a price on your life. We should buy it now while we can."

"Good point. Missy, can you prepare five sets of this underarmor for each of us here?"

"Understood. Please give me about three days."

Yes! I just secured another big order!
This is my first time selling Ogre Spider Silk underarmor, but with its high performance, it should make for great publicity!
