Chapter 479 - Can't We Just Use Recognition Inhibition Magic or Something Like That?

While I was lightly scolding Alice, Laguna-san and Fors-san seemed to have finished their conversation, as the both of them began approaching us.

[Anyway, Ill make sure that you dont go out alone during the Six Kings Festival, and if you want to go somewhere, Ill send some of my subordinates to help you around.]

[No problem with that. In fact, I wouldnt step out of my room unless you asked me to go around. I can just make everything I need to live, including food. Well then, lead me to a laboratory with a vegetable garden right away.]

[Like h.e.l.l theres something like that here!!!]

[What did you say Then, what am I supposed to do with all these ideas I have in my head now? Even though Ive just come up with a magic that could make toenails grow]

[No, you can just keep that idea of yours in your head for the rest of your life. The world doesnt need something like that]

I guess their conversation ends there, right? Laguna-san, youre not bringing her over to us because you got tired of dealing with her alone, right? If its possible, I would like it if you just take her with you

As I was thinking about this, Fors-san suddenly moved her gaze towards Neun-san, and putting her hand on her chin, she murmured.

[By the way, Ive been meaning to ask you this Whats with the armor, Neun? Its not like youre in charge of security, right? It doesnt seem like youre working today. I heard from Miyama Kaito-kun that you and the former Demon King and currently a city doctor, Vier-dono Former Vier-dono in short, are going around with Miyama Kaito-kun today, right?]

[That shortening sounds malicious, so could you stop that!?]

[Vier, I understand how you feel, but its probably useless to say that to her. Anyway, the reason Im wearing armor is to hide my true ident.i.ty.]

[Fumu, then why is it that youre using such an inefficient way of hiding it?]

[Eh?]

When Fors-san heard Neun-sans reply, she tilted her head in wonder.

[If you want to hide your true ident.i.ty, couldnt you just dye your hair or change your hairstyle? The only existing information about you is that statue in the Friends.h.i.+p City, Hikari, but that statue doesnt really show the details of your face, you know? If you just change your hair color or your hairstyle, most people wont even notice you, right?]

[N- Now that you mentioned it that would certainly be the case]

What she said was an extremely on-point theory. What the people know is that the First Hero had black hair, so if she just dyed it, people wouldnt notice it.

[Well then, with that being the case, Dispel and then, next would be]

[Eh? Wait!]

As if to say that she had reached her conclusion, Fors-san summoned a magic circle before her hand, and erased Neun-sans full-body armor. Surprisingly, the clothing Neun-san had under her armor wasnt a kimono.

Shes wearing a neat-looking white s.h.i.+rt and a long black skirt It was a feminine outfit that combined cuteness and coolness, something that Aoi-chan would like.

But more than that, something surprising had changed.

[Oya? You brought the length of your hair back to how it was back then? It lookss great, I think this hairstyle really suits you. However, it doesnt make sense to dress up if youre just going to hide it all under your armor, right? Is it about how one should always care about things even when they cant be seen by others? Hmmm, I dont really understand fas.h.i.+on.]

[N- No, Fors!? What are you doing T- This is]

[Yeah, I guess theres no problem with that area. If I remember correctly, Ive placed that on my magic box Ahh, here it is! Come on, look here.]

[Eh? Arehh? The color of my hair and eyes]

Yes, the black-haired and black-eyed Neun-sans hair became as pink as cherry blossoms while her eyes became a bright purple. At first glance, I even thought she was a different person. A change in hair color certainly could change someones impression to a person.

[Yes, this is a magic I developed that changes the color of your hair and eyes. Creatures who possess a sense of sight could get lots of information just from color, you see. If one has light-colored hair, it can make you look more cheerful, right? Having the ability to change color is very convenient for disguises.]

[H- Hmmm. What do you think, Kaito-san? Does it look strange?]

[No, its true that my impression of you drastically changed but I think bright hair color suits you, Neun-san.]

[T- Thank you.]

With her new pink-colored hair, Neun-san looked a little younger, and I felt that she became even cuter.

It may be rude to say that she became surprisingly cuter, but she was more of a beauty before. Shes someone who looks great with blonde hair.

[Fors You can develop some useful magic huh I changed my a.s.sessment towards you.]

[Hmmm. I dont feel like I would like your a.s.sessment towards me. Anyway, this magic was actually developed for the purpose of changing the decoration of clothes. I thought that if I had magic like this, I could look stylish even if I wore the same robes all the time. I know that Im a social outcast, but that doesnt mean Ive given up on being a woman yet, so I wanted to pay some attention to my appearance. However, I didnt really feel like wasting my time that I could use for research to go shopping for clothes. I have plenty of robes though Then, I thought of it the other way. Why dont I just add decorations on my robes to become fas.h.i.+onable? It took me 5 years to develop.]

[I- I see Can I take back my previous statement?]

[However, what I ended up developing was this magic It also consumes a lot of magic power, only one color can be applied at a time, and the effect wears off in about 24 hours. That monochromatic robe also felt very fake. Ive never had a use for it before, but Im glad that I had the chance to use it now. Well, its much better to use dye to change your hair color next time rather than use this complicated and high-consumption magic. Well, it can be used for a limited-time disguise, so I guess I still give it a pa.s.sing mark?]

[W- Well, this certainly helps me Thank you.]

In short, she tried to create a magic that allows her to easily make changes to her clothes because she cant be bothered to go out and buy fas.h.i.+onable clothes? How should I say this I feel like shes directing her efforts in the wrong direction.

Well, but thanks to that magic, Neun-san can go around without armor, and Im more than happy if I walk around with her like that Alls well that ends well, I guess?

Dear Mom, Dad As usual, Neun-san was trying to go around in full body armor, but thanks to a strange magic developed by Fors-san, she was able to go around without her armor. But how should I say this Im not really familiar with magic but Cant we just use Recognition Inhibition Magic or something like that?

? ? ? : [Serious-senpai! The sugar alarms are about to start ringing!]

Ground-type Serious-senpai : [Alright!]

Wyvern-senpai : [ Do you really have to go there?]

Baby Castella-senpai : [Dont you die there, okay?]

Ground-type Serious-senpai : [Its not like Im doing anything special This is just the usual]
