Erald Sparrow took the fake jewel from Erald Sparrow and walked over to a certain precision device, "I'm going to record a whole new set of Magic Clothing into this jewel, different from your original Magical Girl appearance, to help you disguise as the new Magical Girl 'Gentiana.'"
"A whole new set of Magic Clothing?" Erald Sparrow followed Erald to the side of the device, watching Erald's manipulation of the device, while voicing her doubts.
"That's right, think of it as a tailor-made armor, which will even be a bit stronger in terms of protection than your original Magic Clothing."
Erald's voice was flat, as if "creating a set of equipnt stronger than a Flower Level Magical Girl outfit" was not sothing worth boasting about, "All you need to do after transforming is to secretly activate this fake jewel, and it will overlay the recorded equipnt onto your original outfit, thus giving you a completely different appearance."
"Got it."
Erald Sparrow nodded with so understanding, then followed up with another question, "But it's still just an outfit?"
"That's right, just an outfit. Your height, figure, and facial features will remain as they are now. As I've said before, it's easy to get caught if we alter those things."
Erald placed the fake jewel into the slot of the device, reaching out to stroke the Rune Panel beside her, "Don't worry, though. Considering your renown within the realm, regarding what your disguised appearance should be like, I've hired several very professional stylists to help you craft a completely different image."
"Ha..." For so reason, upon hearing Erald's words, Erald Sparrow had a foreboding feeling, "Completely different in what way?"
"That's what I need you to do."
In a short while, Erald took the fake jewel off the device and handed it to Erald Sparrow, "Co on, try it on."
"Before I do, this should be an outfit that is generally considered acceptable for public wear, right?"
Taking the jewel, Erald Sparrow's eyelids drooped, "And theoretically, I ought to keep a low profile on this trip, so the outfit shouldn't be too eye-catching..."
"Try it on and you'll know." The voice emanating from the fairy doll was still lazily indifferent, but it held a hint of amusent.
"Alright."
And so, without further discussion, Erald Sparrow activated the fake jewel in her hand with Magic Power.
A burst of blue-purple light shot out from the jewel, just like a true Magical Girl transformation. After the brief illumination, Erald Sparrow, standing there, had changed into a new ensemble.
Her previously loose, flowing hair was now gathered high behind her head and secured with several ornate hairpins into a bun. The Bonnet that had been on her head was gone, leaving only the hair clip that held her bangs in place. A pair of shining silver earrings dangled beside her ears.
Moving downward, the dark green Lolita dress was replaced with a blue-purple sleeveless, standing collar cheongsam with slits, and a traditional Donghua knot hung between the buttons. The lower hem was embroidered with a delicate ink drawing outlined in white and gold thread, which depicted gentian flowers among the foliage. This perfectly complented the slightly raised, pointed-toe embroidered shoes on her feet.
If Erald Sparrow's original image seed like that of a noble young lady from Xiluo State, then this new ensemble was imbued with the distinctive features of Donghua State. The sowhat mature attire coupled with what was unmistakably a child's appearance created a peculiar chemical reaction, presenting an enchanting view where cuteness and maturity coexisted.
"How does it look?"
Seemingly out of nowhere, Erald had brought over a mirror and placed it in front of Erald Sparrow, "Since the previous generation's Gentiana wore Magic Clothing also leaning towards the ancient Donghua-style clothing, my people just continued that style. Doesn't it feel completely unlike your usual self?"
"Maybe?"
Erald Sparrow silently stared at the mirror for a while, then discreetly averted her gaze, "Rather, even though it's still in the mirror, subconsciously there's a feeling like 'seeing soone else', which is subtlety disconcerting."
Contrary to her expectations, she had been worried that Erald, being so secretive, might have designed this so-called "forged outfit" with so peculiar and inconvenient flaws. But after actually trying it on, it was not only pretty but also devoid of excessive exposure; by Magical Girl standards, it was a remarkably normal outfit.
"Then those are just minor details."
Erald seed unconcerned, "After all, my only responsibility is to ensure that no one can confirm you're 'Cornflower'. Anything beyond that, I can't manage, nor can I achieve. Instead, the next part is your job."
"What is it?" Erald Sparrow's attention was drawn back by Erald's words.
"It's simple. After all, since it's a forged identity, if you're going to play a role, you have to play it thoroughly. We also need to fabricate so traces of the 'Magical Girl Gentiana' having been active in Fangting City."
Erald raised her claw, pointing to the clothes on Erald Sparrow,
——"So, for the next while, before you set off for the kingdom, get around in Fangting City wearing this outfit."
...
...
Erald Sparrow's new outfit received unanimous praise at the base.
Erald's words weren't empty; the outfit indeed deserved the title of a master's work. Whether it was the construction and lines or the combination of various accessories, it was genuinely unique and impeccable in aesthetic. So much so that when she appeared at the base wearing it, several Magical Girls imdiately took out their phones and began to snap away enthusiastically.
