Magic? Muscle Is Much More Important Than Such A Thing! Chapter 11

“Let’s go shopping!”

Not long after waking up, Firia raises her right hand up and says so to me.

“By shopping, what are we going to buy?”

“Clothes. I’ve always been wearing these outfit for quite a while, so I think it’s about time to buy a new one.”

Firia says so while pinching the tight white dress she wears.

Come to think of it, Firia’s never worn anything but that white dress, huh.

Looks like she has several pajamas and other clothes that’s worn indoor, but when going out she always wears that white one.

“Come to think of it, you’ve never worn any fancy looking clothes, haven’t you, Firia? Don’t you have any interest in fas.h.i.+on or the like?”

“Of course I have, it’s just that feels too bothersome. As long as a have a set of clothes, isn’t that’s plenty enough?”

Certainly, since Firia could clean her clothes with life magic, a set of clothes might surely be enough for her.

Not just fight-oriented magic, Firia also possesses several life magic. For example magic to remove dirt from clothes, or the magic for making light things float and then pull it toward her.

At that point, I think elf sure is amazing, but… could be, she just want to have fun?

“Somehow my impression about you changes a bit.”

“Turning into a better one? Or perhaps a worse one?”

Saying so, Firia approaches me with an excited expression.

“Into a muscle one.”

At my word, Firia promptly stops approaching me.

“Sometimes I don’t understand what you’re talking about, Yuri-san.”

Looks like she doesn’t get what I mean.

“Because personally I also have no interest in fas.h.i.+on, after all. That means we have a same thought about it.”

“It doesn’t make me happy at all, though. Also, it isn’t like I’m not interested in fas.h.i.+on at all, you know? It’s just I don’t want to bother with it.”

“You don’t have to be embarra.s.sed like that.”

“I’m not embarra.s.sed at all.”

Looks like she isn’t.

Going outside, we went to a clothing store.

We come to the largest clothing store at the town, so there are various clothes here, from

normal clothes till some strange looking clothes that makes you even wonder if that’s really clothes or not.

“I’m already here I guess I’ll buy one as well.”

I take one clothes that’s into my liking, and then buy it. My clothes are always torn apart when I show my muscles to others, so no matter how many clothes I have, it won’t ever be enough.

“Thank you very much.”

“Ou.”

Finis.h.i.+ng my own shopping, I head to women’s clothing store where Firia is.

There, I can see Firia who is putting her finger on her chin while groaning “muu—“ with a serious expression.

“Haven’t decided yet?”

“I’m also a girl you know? So I want to buy the cutest one.”

Isn’t she choosing her clothes quite seriously in contrast to her words about having a set of clothes is plenty enough?

“It’s exactly because I’m only buying one so I want it to be one that suits me the most, isn’t it? That’s just how the existence known as girl is.”

“I see. Leaving that aside, don’t peek at my mind.”

Firia says ‘Sorry~’ without showing any sign of sorry at all.

Well, it isn’t like I’m really mad here, so I don’t particularly mind.

“Nevertheless, I just can’t decide one….”

Firia continues loitering around the store. Sometimes she picks up some clothes but, she’ll immediately put them back. Over and over again.

At this rate I just can’t see when that cycle will come to an end….

“That’s right! Yuri-san, you’re here after all, so please choose one for me.”

“Me…? I don’t mind but, is it okay for me to choose it?”

“Don’t worry, because if I don’t like the one you choose then you’ll have to redo it until I do after all, so no problem at all”

“Like that the problem is on my side though.”

That way we won’t know just how long will it take.

I lightly heave a sigh.

I have to seriously put my thought here, don’t I?

And so, I roll my sharp eyes to search through all around the store.

“…Ooh.”

After scanning through the whole store, my eyes catch a certain clothes.

It’s a clothes with dozens

dozens of dumbbells hanging all around it. The thickness and weight are sufficient enough, and above all, it’s very suited for muscle training.

Moreover, I really like the clothes’ explanatory note.

“[Wear it and you’ll be muscular as well]… Firia, don’t you think this—“

“Absolutely not. Yuri-san, it isn’t meant for you, but for me, you know? If I were to wear it, won’t I be unable to move afterward?”

Looking at the clothes I’m suggesting, Firia rejects it while making a face that’s saying “Are you for real?”.

I see, it isn’t meant for me, but for Firia, huh.

Then I have to look for it using Firia’s point of view as well, huh. I completely overlook that.

Moreover, that means, I have no idea what kind of clothes is good.

In the first place, as someone who had been living inside the forest all alone until just recently, of course I’d never thought about what other thinks.

When I’m pondering like that, Firia’s soft hand pats my shoulder.

“Yuri-san, Yuri-san, here, I’ll give you this.”

There, I can see her holding a round-like thing on her hand.

Seems like she bought it when I was busy pondering.

“What’s this?”

“Good luck bracelet they said, if you wish something after putting it on your hand, seems like that wish will be fulfilled.”

“Ooh, it’ll grant our wish, huh, thanks.”

I put that so called good luck bracelet on my wrist.

“Yuri-san, what are you going to wish for?”

Firia happily asks so while looking at my wrist.

Wish, huh… I’ve never thought of one.

“Ah right… ‘May I be able to fight against powerful people’, that’s it.”

“Please don’t wish for such savage thing from such cute bracelet.”

“Then, ‘May my journey around the world be enjoyable’ there you have it.”

“That sounds kind of too normal, isn’t it?”

What a demanding fellow. Speaking of another thing that I want….

“That’s right! ‘May muscle’s splendor is spread around the world more’ that’s definitely it!”

“I think the previous one is better….”

“No, I’ve decided to go with it. Because no matter how you think about it the world sure is strange, isn’t it? Just look?”

I take off my coat,

my coat, and then contract my muscles.

Having my muscles released, my height increases by a head, then I ask Firia.

“Why does no one admire these beautiful muscle? No matter how you think about it, that’s strange, isn’t it?”

“….”

Firia neither matches my gaze nor says a word. What is it? Could it be she falls for my muscles?

“…Yuri-san, the bracelet just snapped, though….”

“Ah.”

Now that she mentions it.

Because my muscles were expanded, the bracelet that was on my wrist snapped.

“Even though I’ve especially bought it for you…. I don’t care about you anymore!”

Firia immediately turns around, and only showing her back on me.

“Um, sorry, Firia, it wasn’t on purpose. I’m really sorry!”

I retract my muscle back, and awkwardly apologize to her.

Perhaps thanks to that, even while pouting, Firia reluctantly turns around and face me again.

“…Then, please seriously look for clothes that suit me. If this time you still fooling around, I’ll seriously get mad at you, you hear?”

“G, got it.”

From the very beginning, I haven’t fooled around even once but, now isn’t the right time to say that.

This time, there’s no room for mistakes…!

I’ve been looking for clothes carefully.

I’ve been using the same amount of concentration like the time when I found the clothes that’s very suitable for muscle training.

“Found it!”

The one I pick is a set of upper, lower, and also a pair of socks.

The set is composed of a slightly loose silk-smooth white dress with hem that’s slightly more loose than the one she’s wearing, white skirt, and thigh high white socks.

The difference with her current clothes is the pink gradation that stretches to its hem.

[TL: I don’t know anything about clothing term, so I just randomly described it, but I think the appearance should be something like this (the one in the right, if you don’t know).

Firia stares and observe the clothes I just picked.

“Ooh, so you prefer this kind of clothes?”

“It isn’t like it’s my preference or something. I just think it suits you well.”

Even when I say that, it isn’t like I’m perfectly confident with my choice. Because in choice. Because in the end I only pick it through my intuition and then decide that it’s the best choice, I do think this clothes without a doubt suits her well, but it doesn’t necessarily mean Firia will definitely like it as well.

“…I see.”

Firia quietly mumbles so as if talking to herself.

I feel like seeing the corners of her mouth are slightly crooked but, perhaps that’s just my imagination.

“Then, how’s it? Is it suitable enough for you?”

“Only this time, I’ll forgive you… I’ll cherish and wear it well, thank you very much.”

Firia slightly bows her head.

Seems like it’s somewhat up to her standard, so I heave a sigh of relief.

Thank goodness.

We’ve been together so I don’t really put it into mind but, someone as nice as her isn’t someone you could find just everywhere, after all.

And if we were to break our partners.h.i.+p over such a reason, it’d be very embarra.s.sing.

After that Firia went to try the clothes, so here I’m waiting for her before the dressing room.

“Thank you for the wait~”

Seeing Firia who comes out while saying such words, I’m speechless for a moment.

Firia who’s gripping the hem of the dress with slightly embarra.s.sed expression, her appearance is very charming, enough to be referred as peerless beauty.

The combination of white and pink colors enhance Firia’s lovely trait, and her porcelain-like white and beautiful thighs are appearing and disappearing between the thigh-high socks and the hem of the skirt.

Calm down, don’t let yourself get tempted, me!

Biceps, sixpack, thigh muscle….

I start repeatedly recalling the name of muscles in my mind to calm myself down.

This is a trial. If my heart is swayed by something like that, I won’t be able to achieve my ideal muscle.

“Does it suit me?”

Firia asks so while inclining her head. If she can naturally do something like that then she’s definitely natural born devil.

“Well, perhaps it does suits you, doesn’t it?”

However, thanks to the muscle, I’ve regained my composure. As I thought, muscle sure is the best.

“Could it be, you’re embarra.s.sed?”

“I’m not.”

And as such, we finish the shopping safely.
