Beautiful clothes [Closed w/ Kumori]

[Haneroze]

Haneroze walked through the crowd with her notepad taken out. She had written a list of items she needed to buy, and was reviewing the list.

"Equipments: a set of up-to-date weapons, upgraded cloth armor and, if possible, vanity clothes that look like those I'm wearing. Also, hair ornaments, that'd be great if they aren't too expansive. A set of drawing tools that aren't low quality. Any food that can be brought with without expiring. HP and MP potions as last priority, if they're not too expansive."

She looked around, to see if there were any shop that might offer what she wanted. There was, in fact, a lot of shops that could possibly offer what she wanted. For the moment, she ignored the potions shops. Without going closer, she took mental note of the prices on multiple articles from shops that showed predetermined prices. She saw the greatly varying price of all form of equipments.

"Guess I can't really compare prices without knowing their levels. I know I only want level 1 hair ornaments if they look good enough, so I can compare the lowest prices."

As she continued walking, she saw a familiar figure in a stand. Haneroze walked closer, to identify that person's identity.

"... Hmm.... Oh, if it isn't Kumori! I wonder what is his crafting subclass?"

She continued approaching, still hidden within the crowd. From what was shown, she guessed he was a Tailor.

"Ooh, I should go see what he's selling! Maybe I could give him requests too!"

Haneroze jumped out of the crowd and stood in front of Kumori's stand. A very quick look showed that there was nothing pre-crafted that interested her. So she deposited her notepad with her to-buy list, faced towards Kumori, and gave him a big smile.

"In order to live, I will continue to fight. In order to retain my humanity, I will continue to destroy those who mean to harm my friends."

Well, the next task at hand was going to be quite the project. Haneroze had just dropped by and brought a notepad and her requested items. He looked at it and he noticed that she wanted a level 5 cloth armor. He scratched his head. While it wasn’t an odd request, it was difficult for him to figure out what to make for a cloth armor that would be able to be worn under vanity clothes. He now knew what to make. It made him shudder at the thought, but he knew it had to be done. He was contracted to do it, and well, it was his job as a craftsman to make such a request possible. He was somewhat glad no one was here to watch him make something that would directly touch the bodice of a woman. His eyes were closed, but then soon he reopened them and shook his head. “NO!” he shouted out, “we’re not going to think about this… just draw it out, make the right measure-,” he stopped. His mind wandered towards the measurement he had to make and he shook his head again. “NO!” he yelled out, “Measurements, guuuhhh,” he finished. “I just need to make a few measurements, that’s it… Just a… “ he stopped and shook his head. “I give up, there’s no getting around this,” he said. Haneroze was probably confused about his reaction, but that was probably for the better.

He took out his measuring tape and took a piece of fabric with him, one that was white and silky, one that wouldn’t hurt a woman when she put it on. He needed to make the measurements necessary, and boy was it going to be awkward. With every step he took towards the woman, no girl, his heart sank deeper. This was only going to look terrible and he knew it. He motioned her towards the back of his stand that had a fitting room and would allow a little privacy so that he’d be able to make the measurements as needed. He sighed and steeled his resolve. “Please excuse me for doing this,” he said.

[Haneroze]

Haneroze stared at Kumori. She took note of his body movements. She thought that from that head scratching, he was thinking about the designs, the materials needed, how he was going to craft them, etc. However, that shudder confused her. "Maybe he thought about using some wierd material?". But then, that NO! startled her.

"W-w-what? Is he denying my request?"

But then, Kumori continued on his own. It didn't make sense to Haneroze.

"...Telepathy? Maybe someone is talking to him through telepathy? Ah, but I've heard talking to someone through telepathy does not make any sound out of the mouth... Maybe he forgot to activate the telepathy?"

But he was still going on.

"Then... what is he saying? Is he really talking to me?"

She leaned on the counter, waiting for the man to finish his ramble. But as he seemed to was done, he took out a measuring tape and some fabric, and then headed toward her. He was definitely heading toward her. Haneroze jumped out of surprise and embarassment upon the realization of the meaning of all of it. She blushed hard.

"M-m-m-my measurements? Is that was it was all about? Th-there is no need to! I can just avoid it and give them and..."

But she realized her body was different from real life. Even she didn't know her own measurements. She lowered her head.

"I... guess there's no avoiding it... He doesn't want to do it neither, right? He's not a pervert, it will be fine... I think..."

Haneroze followed Kumori to the room, keeping her head lowered and holding her hands together. As Kumori excused himself, she did a timid nod and released her hands, still blushing.

"I am too used to just picking the correct size from clothes shops. It's gonna be like that for all my next purchases? Then I'll at least know my measurements for next times... I just have to trust Kumori..."

It was embarrassing, having to do this, but it was a necessity. If he didn’t, the armor would be useless, either too tight or too loose and in either condition, they would not be able to protect the wearer from any damage that would befall them. As he took the measurements as accurately and as quickly as he could he wrote them all down and handed a copy to Haneroze before he went to get the fabric he’d be using. “Here… you can show these to me the next time, so long as you maintain a similar body size,” he said as he headed out of the room without incident. He did not want to be inside the room with her alone for fear of anyone walking in and getting the wrong impression from him.

As he headed outside of the back room, he went and gathered the materials needed. She wanted a Level 5 Cloth Armor which meant that she wanted better material than the cheap stuff he used for level 1 crafts. He began searching through his compartments for the right quality of materials. As he sorted through all of the mixed materials, one after another, he’d pull another material out until finally he found the right color, the right size, and the right type. What he took out was a still low-quality silk, but it was silk no less. It was soft to the touch but durable in its essence. He looked at Haneroze and showed her the color of the fabric which was a shiny white, and all he needed was a nod or a shake. If she shook her head, he’d hope that she would choose a color that she’d like for her armor.

[Haneroze]

Haneroze stayed calm while Kumori were taking the measurements. She tried to empty her mind, not thinking about anything. And before she knew it, it was already over. She picked the copy of her measurements, quickly look at it, and placed it inside her bag. She watched Kumori exiting the room, then let out a huge sigh of relief a second after he disappeared from sight.

She looked around the room for somewhere to sit, then headed toward one and sat. She closed her eyes for a moment.

"Don't worry about it! Just pretend it never happened! Hmm! Forget all about it! Nothing more will happen!"

She shook her head, then took back her notepad, opening it on the first blank page. She took out her low-quality drawing tools and decided to start sketching some hair cloth accessory ideas. But before she drew her first line, Kumori showed back up with some white silk, which he showed to her. She guessed it was what was going to be used for the cloth armor. She wasn't sure what he was thinking of doing exactly, but it was a nice white and it would be normally hidden anyway. So she nodded while doing a slightly-forced smile.

She went back to her notepad, and drew her first idea. Since she was in a fantasy world, there was a certain something she could try without looking silly. She drew simple lines representating her hair and elven ear, then drew very simplified feathers.

"In order to live, I will continue to fight. In order to retain my humanity, I will continue to destroy those who mean to harm my friends."

After Haneroze gave the nod of approval, Ryuu began cutting the fabric and making measurements of the fabric so that it’d fit over the woman’s body. After making the sheet of silk to the specifications, he began sewing it so that it would hold together against most types of stress the armor would undergo. While this specific armor was designed to stay on her, it did not mean that her vanity clothes would not be torn and ripped, so he decided to add a few more pieces of fabric. Under two layers of white sheets, he’d place a black sheet so that the silk was no longer see through. While some of the black came out from the front, he’d rather have that than force the girl to go through a traumatic experience. He placed another white sheet behind the white sheet so that it was not visible from the inside either. The black was a very thin layer, so it would not take much room, as was the white sheet behind it and the white sheet directly in front of it.

Finally, he began adding frills and such so that it’s have some stylistic of most woman’s undergarments of the type. After making all the frills and such, Ryuu put a stylized F at the back part of the inner side of the Camisole. The F was an homage to his sister, Fuyu, so all of his clothes that were made by him had his signature F on it. People would probably wonder what the F stood for. Was it his real name? His last name? No one would know except the few he had divulged this privileged information, but even then, no one, not even his closest friend Kyuu, knew about it. The camisole was went from right below the neck all the way down to past her waist. It covered what was necessary and gave a bit more privacy, however it did not protect her crevices from the elements, that was not the job of the armor. It was simply an armor for her upper body, and that was what he made.

After finishing it, he presented the camisole to the woman in his back room. “Try it on. Put it under your vanity clothing and tell me how it fits. Just knock the door when you’re ready to show me and write down any problems for how it feels against your body and fitment,” he said to her. Ryuu turned around and would let her try it.

Haneroze looked at the picture she had drawn. She liked the direction of the geometric figures she had drawn, but she wasn't sure if Kumori would understand what exactly she had drawn. The lines were very bold, which doesn't help when sketching. She plucked out the sheet from the notepad, placed it into her bag, and redrew the same item. This time, however, she did not draw lines for the hair nor the ear. She only drew the feathers, clear ones.

"This should be good. I could request him another accessory? A regular ribbon should be good!"

Haneroze flipped to the next page, then drew a regular ribbon with a bow in the middle. She simplified the look of her hair by simply drawing the shape's outline of it, no lines inside of the figure. It was so that the position where the ribbon had to go was clear.

"This should be good. I need a color thought. Hmmm... I think Sky blue would be a good color?"

She imagined the color scheme with her teal and blue to-be vanity clothes, her long white hair and a sky-blue ribbon. Decided on it, she wrote the color sky-blue on the top-right corner of that drawing. Then she waited.


Moments later, Kumori showed up again with what appeared to be a long camisole. Haneroze stood up and walked toward Kumori. She picked the camisole and held it against her body. At first, the size seemed good. She nodded at Kumori's instruction. She went toward a different room, depositing her notepad on a nearby table before entering it, opened to the drawings of the two accessories she wanted, then closed the door.

Haneroze removed her dress and immediately wore the camisole, still having her dark blue pants. She looked around for a mirror, but she didn't find any. So she tried to look at herself from first-person perspective, then to move her upper body around. It seemed all good, she felt comfortable with it. She thought it could make some nice clothes if she wanted to wear light someday, thought she normally only wanted that when staying inside her home.

She picked her dress, knocked on the door, then opened it. She walked in, showing herself to Kumori and holding her dress in front. She smiled and nodded, showing her satisfaction.
