“Welcome, Dahlia!”

“Welcome to the Magical Garment Factory!”

“Thank you all for your hard work, Mr. Fortunato, Head Manager Lucia, everyone.”

Having just arrived at the factory, Lucia’s friend Dahlia greeted everyone formally. Her outfit today consisted of a white blouse with ribbons tied at the sleeves and a flowy navy blue flare skirt. The luster of her silk tie, an accessory she never used to wear often, really brought out her complexion. The ensemble suited her very nicely.

Though personally, Lucia thought a blouse with a wider neckline or a V-neck shirt would look even better on someone with a neck as lovely as Dahlia’s. Lucia chided herself for once again fixating on a person’s outfit before anything else, then led Dahlia to the reception room. There, Dahlia laid out several pieces of light-green fabric on the low table.

“This is my newly developed magical tool, a cloth that produces a faint breeze.”

“A cloth that produces a faint breeze...”

Her words were intelligible enough, but what exactly kind of tool was it? Lucia had no idea just looking at it.

“Here, see for yourself,” Ivano said as he handed a light green scarf to Forto.

As she looked on, Lucia waited for Dahlia to deliver the explanation. She began to do just that, speaking in an even tone. Whenever she talked about magical tools, her whole aura changed. All of her prior nervousness vanished, and her expression became that of a magical toolmaker. It was an amazing thing to witness. Lucia had once told Dahlia that, but she had just looked back at her in confusion.

“The fabric has been enchanted with air magic using green slime.”

“Green slime...”

That’s Dahlia for you, all right. This was the woman who had used a staggering number of blue slimes to make the waterproof cloth. Their mutual friend, Irma, had once said, Someday, slimes will start running away from you as fast as they can the second they see you. Lucia had to wholeheartedly agree.

At any rate, a fabric enchanted with air magic to prevent it from sticking to your skin was groundbreaking stuff. If Dahlia could make something with an even stronger breeze, then it would work wonders to combat the outside heat. It would be ideal as underwear for the summer or for people who did manual labor.

Next to Lucia, Forto started planning one practical use after another for the cloth, starting with undershirts, to lining for helmets, backs, chests, and braces for the royal knights. The designs he effortlessly sketched out seemed good enough to be realized straightaway.

Nobles especially would be delighted to have this air magic-enchanted cloth—Lucia was sure of that. After all, even in the summer, noblemen primarily wore suits, and when visiting the castle they wore three-piece suits with a jacket, pants, and vest. Noblewomen also wore long dresses for formal occasions. A method to combat heat and sweat was essential. Nonetheless, it was bad manners to remove one’s suit jacket, and it was considered embarrassing to have sweat stains. Such ridiculous conventions, Lucia wanted to say.
