Soma's statent made Malik and everyone in the room except him turn baffled. When he ant to make battle clothes, he ant to use the precious material Mithril in their sight.
The girls were stupefied by his antics, but eventually, they smiled amusingly, seeing Soma, who excitedly brought up the topic.
On the other hand, Malik had to think deeply about what he should do about the matter. With his unique skill, indeed, he can transmute every material by combining it or dissolving it into tiny particles. However, this was the first ti soone who obtained a rare tal just turned it into clothes instead of a weapon.
He began to look at Soma and sighed in resignation.
"Then what kind of clothes you want to make?".
"Wait, Mr. Malik. First of all, how much can you make clothes using this much Mithrill?"
"Hm?! Wait a minute".
After being addressed by Soma, Malik crouched down before the Mithril and placed his palm on it. Then, he began to inspect just how much it cost to create a set of clothes that would be coated using this rare material.
A magic circle Soma recognized when Malik transmuted the Mana core appeared on the Mithril as Malik was closing his eyes, concentrating.
After a minute passed, he finally opened his eyes and stood up abruptly. He looked toward Soma and opened his mouth,
"With this much Mithril I can make approximately Ten sets of clothes".
"Really?".
"Yeah".
"Good, with this the girls behind also can get their share".
"Eh?!".
When Hina, Xiao Lian, and Serafina heard what Soma had said, their bodies flinched and stiffened for the unbelievable outco this situation had beco.
"...Soma, are you sure?".
Hina, who snapped back to reality, opened her mouth albeit stamred.
"Of course you can, Xiao Lian and Serafina too, don't hesitate!".
"...Mm, Thanks Soma".
Serafina shrinks her distance from Soma and gives him a tight hug that startles everyone in the room. Hina soon chuckles and is amazed at how she can publicly show her affection.
As for Xiao Lian, she felt a pang of prickle pain in her chest, but with a slight shake of her head, it was dismissed almost instantly. This feeling had never been this severe before Hina had ntioned it at that ti. She felt strongly stirred when she saw Soma close to another girl as if whispering that she wanted to be a part of it.
"Fufu, thank you, Soma".
Slowly, Serafina separated herself and began to stand beside Soma.
"You seem blessed with won, kid?".
A vein visible to the naked eyes sprouted from Malik's forehead as he sarcastically spoke.
"Well, they are too good for , but I am happy to call them my partners".
Soma, who said those words confidently, made every girl in the place flush red. They barely managed to hide their embarrassnt and happiness, which filled their hearts to the brim.
"Then, how can we make the order?".
"Tch, you must first buy so of the clothes you want, and I will tune it up using this Mithril"."
"How long will the process unfold?".
"First, how many you want to make?".
"If possible you can use all the material cause I can procure it in the dungeon later".
The Mithril he obtained was beyond his predicant because he obtained it by chance at the Colosseum Dungeon in Italy. If he wanted to farm that kind of tal, he knew where the place was; since it was still hidden, he needed so ti to find it. But it was worth a shot later.
Serafina, who got the gist of it, began to take out her terminal tablet and began to search for a variable option of clothes for her and the others.
"Hina, Xiao Lian, co here, let's pick our clothes, Soma too".
"Okay".
"Mm".
As they approached, Serafina began to show so much catalog in her terminal; upon closer look, Soma could see that all of these were under the jurisdiction of her and Beatrice.
Soma heard that Serafina is slightly interested in fashion because of her mother's influence. Her mother was a professional designer who used to take Serafina to many fashion shows in every country before she fell ill.
He was conflicted about what sort of clothes he needed to choose. At this ti, every protagonist he reads in the story would rather pick a plate mail that barely covers so vital part of the body or sothing ridiculous, like a leather jacket or coat that shows how edgy the person is.
The design of clothes had many options, but sohow, Soma's gaze was directed toward the traditional Chinese clothes he often saw in Comics. Simultaneously, Soma's gaze t Xiao Lian's eyes, who seed to have the sa interest.
Suddenly, a mory began to replicate in his brain, showing the upcoming event after the sumr holiday. He began to feel certain of what he wanted to choose.
"Sera, can you buy these Black Hanfu clothes, In pairs? For of course".
"Soma, you will pick this?".
Upon Hina's questioning, Soma nodded his head and made every girl in the room hesitate, as they already had a model in mind except for Xiao Lian, who was stunned by Soma's choice. Slowly, she also began to pick her choice.
"Um, I, too, want the sa motive but a different color. This white and light blue, I think, will suit ."
"Hee, Silver hair, you also choose these sets. Then might as well but with red and black".
"Then I will pick the sa, but with dark green. Can I drop the clothes off at this place later?"
"Yeah, Sure. If the clothes arrive at this shop, I will soon begin the process of transmuting the Mithril."
"Understand, then I will tell one of my subordinates to send it to you later".
Serafina was the one who made the deal last, and the custom-made clothes were in process.
"Ah, Serafina everyone takes two sets, okay!".
"Don't worry, I can handle it".
Right now, Soma had no intention of asking her to pay it back later because he knew Serafina would just act stubborn and give him all the clothes for free anyway.
However, even though the clothes were from Serafina, the paynt to Malik was different. He approached Malik and spoke on his terms.
"How much is the estimated price for them?".
"I will tell you that later".
"Okay, also can you transmute this thing once again?".
Soma summons the globe relic, which still gleams lively in everyone's sight. He once asked Hiroshi how much he added the mana core to the relics, and by his estimation, Soma assud that the relic could be used five tis to travel long distances. Soma had used it once before, and there were four more.
"You got the Relic back?".
"Yeah, Mr Hiroshi delivered it to when I was in Okinawa".
"I see".
Malik hesitantly took the globe from Soma, feeling the weight of the relic. He began to recall the past occurrence when they were ambushed by the demon.
"Kid, I am sorry at that ti".
"Oh, co one, it was already a long ti ago".
"Even so, I am sorry for leaving a kid like you there facing those demons, Alone".
The solemn tone that escaped Malik's lips froze the entire atmosphere in the room. All the girls had already heard all the details from Soma, but they never knew that soone was involved in that matter.
"Yeah, I will accept your apology".
"Thanks".
Soma extended his right hand, and Malik shook it. They began to create another new bond of unbreakable trust.
"Then, where is the mana core?".
"Oh, right".
He summoned a red mana stone he obtained in the dungeon he raided, and there were multiple of them.
"You want to transmute all of these?".
"Yes please, will it take long?".
"No, it will probably finish in an hour. Why don't you guys have fun in the market while I am doing my job? Also, it was almost ti for dinner."
"You are right, How about it everyone?".
"Let's go , I still have so storage left".
"Mm, I am hungry".
"Lets Go, then Mr Malik, I am counting on you".
"Geez, to think that Miss Serafina would beco one of this kid's partners, I couldn't imagine it."
"Fufu, I also feel the sa. Then Mr. Malik we will excuse ourself,".
"Yeah, have fun. Escort your partner's thoroughly Kid!".
"That is my intention".
Soma began to escort the girls outside, and they began to thoroughly explore the Market. Under the starlit neon, they basked in the festive mont while enjoying multiple foods and als.
Sotis, the girls also tried the ga at stalls that existed especially at night, trying to win their favorite prizes, mainly small plushies. In the end, each of them gained what they wanted, and they began to rest on the bench in the corner of the market.
Each of their hands was stuffed with heavy food despite it being almost dinner ti. But the girls can't stop gobbling their food, and if they are bored, they will share so of it with Soma.
"You guys wait here, I will take the item back".
Soma alone returned to the shop and took back the relic that had been done in its transmuting.
"Here, Kid!".
"How much?".
"Because you prepared everything, give fifty".
"Okay".
After giving Malik the proper price, Soma bid his farewell and escorted the girl, who seed still in a festive mood, toward the gate. On their way there, Serafina bought many food stalls and so snacks to be gifted to her servants at her place later.
The limousine stopped in front of the market gate the mont they stood there. Serafina gave all the food to Violet and asked her to give it later. Violet felt dumbfounded at first, but as soon as it was her boss' order, she complied with a smile on her lips.
Once they entered inside, the car drove off silently from the place. Soma, who looked at the girls in front of him, summoned sothing from his relic.
"Everyone!".
The girls turned their attention toward Soma, who held a book and a small platinum ring in his hand. They tilted their heads, still unable to understand his aning.
"The three of you probably would end up involving yourself with from here on out, so I want to give you these".
Soma first gives the book to Serafina and then speaks.
"Serafina. The book in your hand was a Grimoire that contains an Ancient spell of Wind magic. I want you to receive it!".
"What?!".
Serafina's eyes bulged after hearing his explanation as if she couldn't believe it. She took the monocle from her storage and looked toward the book in her hands, and her body started to tremble.
"This?! Can I really?".
"Of course, also this. Hina".
"Eh?! ?!".
Soma handed him the Ring he had found at the sa ti as the book.
"This ring is a dinsion ring. It has a vast amount of capacity, and it was included with ti-space manipulation. I want you to handle it!"
Hina, who heard his explanation, stiffened. Her body turned into a statue incapable of speaking even a slight response.
As soon as she saw the Ring approach, her body broke from its petrified state. She flailed her hands to the sides while shrieking in panic.
"Wait, wait, wait, Why ?!".
"I thought you were the most suitable to hold it, That's all".
"No way, there is Sera beside ".
"I know. Sera is more experienced, but I think she lacks sothing, as soone that will lead in battle, as for Xiao Lian. She was not the type to lead soone. Only you, I believe if it's you. You can lead the parties without ".
"But…".
Hina still seed hesitant to take that burden in hand, but once she saw the look in Soma's eyes, who relied on her, she began to recall her resolution. Slowly, she turned to look at Serafina and Xiao Lian.
"Why not, I think you suit it better than ".
"Mm, I have no qualms over it".
"You two".
After hearing the other two accept. She inhaled deeply to keep her emotions in check before taking the Ring in Soma's hand. With her trembling finger, Hina placed the Ring on her right-hand finger, which symbolized a fiancee's status.
However, sothing happened when the Ring traced her mana. It began to resonate with her Mana, and slowly, the Ring itself beca attached to herself.
[Dinsional Ring Had picked its owner]
[The owner: Akabane Hina]
Seeing the Ring had settled itself on Hina's finger, Soma sighed in relief as he felt happy about their growth. He leaned his back to the seat and enjoyed his leisure ti until he arrived at the Academy a bit late.
