Kati’s cat eyes turned to Vivian.

“Uh… .”

Vivian’s hand covering her mouth trembled as if she was surprised.

It wasn’t a good sign.

“Mine… ?”

The voice is similarly shaken.

Is it like this too?

I expected it.

When ordinary people see a demon, they get scared and run away.

Among the superhumans, there are some who run away, and a few try to fight.

When Aria first found out Kati’s identity, she tried to kill him.

In comparison, Vivian is quite calm.

Kati nodded slowly when asked if she was a demon.

Vivian couldn’t say anything and just kept quiet.

I can’t help it.

I’m trying to tell you to stop using the eye patch.

“Wow… .”

… huh?

Isn’t this a scary voice?

“This is my first time seeing that mine… . amazing… .”

Rather, I look at Katy here and there with curiosity.

what is this.

“Ma, do all demons originally look like this?”

“… … .”

Kati didn’t answer and stayed still.

This isn’t the reaction I expected.

“Bill… .”

Mercy also touched her lips as if she was embarrassed.

“Vivian? what… Are you scared or anything?”

“Yes? Ah, that’s what I did when I realized it was a demon… . If it’s Ian, I think it’s okay to trust him. It seems like you’ve been together for quite some time… . Actually, it was exhilarating to beat up my former manager earlier.”

… It’s completely unexpected.

Rather, I am embarrassed now.

Is it okay to be this positive?

“Ah, of course, Kati is much more capable and beautiful than a useless piece of trash like me, so it’s true that I can’t even dare to hate it… . For me, just being next to Ian… .”

Being positive means canceling.

I need to change my speaking habits somehow.

“Stop, stop. all right. Katy, you can use the eye patch again.”

“Yes.”

Why is he like this again?

Kati is smiling now.

He had the same expressionless expression as usual, but the corners of his mouth turned up very faintly.

It’s a smile I can recognize because I’ve seen it for a long time.

What’s so good about it?

“Anyway… It’s okay if you don’t like it.”

“How can something like me… .”

“From now on, let’s not use the word ‘something like that’.”

“Ugh, it’s too sticky in my mouth… . Well, I’ll give it a try though. sorry… .”

“It is forbidden to say sorry.”

“Ugh… .”

He frowns as if he is in pain, but nods his head.

You listen well.

It’s just fine to keep it to this level.

The only thing left to do is to train well.

“Well, by the way, what are Katy’s abilities…? ? Each Mine has special abilities… . Ah, no, I dare… Hike! That’s not it… .”

Wow, I’m crazy.

Kati glanced at me and nodded.

“Show me.”

Immediately, Kati transformed into a white cat.

There are many other abilities, but this is the only one I can show off.

“Ears, cute… ! so cute… .”

Vivian squatted down almost to her knees and looked at Katy.

“Ma, you can touch it… ?”

Kati just scratched her chin with her hind paw arrogantly.

It was unclear whether it was positive or negative.

As Vivian gently stroked between her ears, Kati remained still.

“Hee, heehee… .”

That too for a while.

I immediately shook my head and turned around.

“Keu… . It’s a shame… .”

“Enough. Let’s go out.”

“Where do we start?”

At that question, I looked Vivian up and down.

“Uh-huh, you shouldn’t look at women like that.”

“I wanted to buy clothes first.”

I put Mercy’s clothes on, but they are too baggy.

Even considering that they will gain weight later, the two are different in height.

It’s not that Vivian is small, but Mercy is naturally larger.

The clothes I used to wear are nothing more than rags, so I have to buy myself several outfits.

“Well, I have some clothes that I used to wear… .”

“Those things are called rags, not clothes.”

“Ugh… .”

“Now, try following along. Rag.”

“Girl, rag… .”

Wow, my insides feel refreshed.

*

There are more than one or two squares in the capital.

Among them, the plaza closest to the training center provides various goods for warriors.

I found the biggest and flashiest store there.

It was a clothing store that handled fabric and leather.

I was mixed in with wannabes, managers and similar people.

“Welcome… . Oh my, Ian?”

As soon as I opened the door and entered, a woman recognized me.

Elegant and dignified speaking style.

His neatly tied long hair and comfortable shirt and pants contrast with his voice.

“Taylor. It’s been a while.”

Ruby Taylor.

He is the CEO of this large general clothing store, and he is also a person who knows my identity.

“What’s going on here? What about the party?”

“Well, I was kicked out.”

“Yes?”

He grimaced as if he was surprised, then burst out laughing.

“I thought they were cheap, but I never thought they would do something like that to Ian… .”

All four people’s outfits were matched here.

For the second time, Taylor was very famous, so I came to him before he became that famous and asked for a cheap price.

Each time, the grumpy-tempered warriors made demanding demands.

How about this, how about that.

The results were good, but I heard that Taylor and his staff suffered a lot.

“Oh my, did I say something I shouldn’t have said?”

“Me too, well, it’s all in the past now. It’s okay.”

“Then I’m glad. It’s been a while since Mercy and Katy?”

“Yes! Nice to meet you.”

Mercy smiled brightly and shook hands, while Kati just nodded.

“Who is behind you? This is my first time seeing this face.”

“Uh, uh… .”

I introduced it instead.

“My name is Vivian, and I am a member of the new party I will be creating.”

“Yes, I know how it feels. Sister, do you want to come over for a moment?”

Vivian hesitated and stood in front of Taylor.

Taylor touched her shoulders, waist, and legs without hesitation.

Each time, Vivian’s face became redder.

If you do that, your hair color will be the same.

“I’m a bit skinny, but my breasts are… . I’m jealous.”

Oh, it’s almost the same.

“Are you going to put on weight soon?”

Taylor looks at me and asks.

Maybe it’s because it’s not my first time, but I find it really convenient to be able to guess my intentions and plans.

I just nodded.

“Then you can make it by taking that into consideration. Hey, but this hair color… . If only the texture came back, it would be art, right?”

“Ah, it just stands out for no reason… .”

“Ugh, no, no. I’ll make it with something that goes well with this color. How many sets are you going to make?”

“Three sets each for training, actual use, daily use, and pajamas.”

“Total 12 pieces? Okay.”

Taylor, who had written down the order, shouted inside.

“Guys, please measure this girl’s measurements.”

Several employees came over and took Vivian away.

As he walks away, he keeps looking at me, almost like he’s being dragged along.

“How much money can I give?”

“A, Ian. Why is this happening? Between us.”

Taylor grinned and nudged him with his elbow.

At the same time, the back of my head was struck by Katy’s gaze.

You can’t see it, but it’s definitely there.

The back of my head hurts right now.

“How much money does Ian make? How do I get the money?”

but. It’s not wrong.

Even now, this spacious store is crowded with people.

There is no clothing store this large in this capital, or even in the entire empire.

Of course, there is no other clothing store with this many people.

That’s because all four members of the first hero’s party matched their clothes here.

Not only those who want to become warriors, but even ordinary people come here to tailor or choose clothes.

Because they are the object of envy, the public wants to imitate them.

“Would you regret it if you didn’t receive it when you gave it?”

“That’s it. Instead, when the next party member becomes available, please come back again. If Ian raises a party, won’t it become incredibly famous?”

“We have to make it happen.”

“That’s enough.”

As I worked with famous people, my business skills improved.

Transaction is not just about exchanging money.

Exchanging trust or favor in this way was also a type of transaction.

“I’ll be indebted to you next time too. When will the clothes be finished?”

The warrior’s clothes are usually custom-made, so they cannot be received right away.

“Ian It’s a matter, so I’ll do it as quickly as possible. I think it will take two days. Where should I send it?”

“That… It’s room 302 in the central building of the training center.”

“Yes, it’s room 302 in building C. A lot has changed there, right?”

“I thought it was somewhere else.”

By then, a tattered Vivian had returned with the clerks.

What happened was that while I was taking measurements, I heard a scream from afar.

Vivian looked more exhausted than ever.

“Sister, take this too.”

Taylor put the item into Vivian’s hand.

It was a hair tie and a comb.

“Thank you… .”

“Then I’ll send it to you in two days! It was nice to meet you, Ian!”

“See you next time. Taylor.”

*

I was on my way back with Vivian, who was in tatters.

People were gathered in the middle of the crossroads.

Looking at it, there was a bulletin board there too.

Compared to the bulletin board where the names of famous parties like the first party were posted, it was a bit small.

Was there something like that?

I tried to ignore it and pass by, but Vivian stared at the bulletin board again.

“What is that? This is my first time seeing this.”

“Ah, this is the place where people who passed the temporary warrior exam come up.”

Even temporary warriors?

The bulletin board is very detailed.

Out of curiosity, I peeked through the crowd.

The names of people who passed the last test were written down.

There were also reactions from citizens, and a few names were mentioned a lot.

Now, it seems like there are famous people not only among the official heroes, but also among the temporary heroes.

Vivian’s eyes looked somewhat lonely.

It was different from the way he looked up at Sylvia.

It seems like old memories are coming back.

“I’ll upload it.”

“Yes?”

“There, Vivian’s name will also be listed.”

“Something like me is really… . Ugh, no, no.”

Vivian covered her mouth and laughed as if she were embarrassed.

“I will believe it. Ian.”

*

Returning to the dorm, I sat Vivian down.

I was about to explain how I would train from now on.

Previously.

“What did you do when you trained alone?”

“Well, just use magic repeatedly… I found a theory book and read it. I also asked for advice from other warriors.”

It’s common.

That’s usually how it goes.

However, my method is far from ordinary.

This is because it is not the method used here.

When the first party members heard it for the first time, they debated whether it was true or not.

But I assure you, the effect is clear.

This is also something I confirmed with my own body during the second session.

“The training method I will teach you from now on will be different from what we have done so far. Still, you must trust and follow me.”

“Yes, I will try my best.”

good.

Now the self-deprecation has diminished a bit.

I see a change.

“Then, the first training to do is… .”

I slowly explained the first training.

Vivian’s expression was distorted with bewilderment.
