Chapter 7: The Old Guy Sets Out on a Hunting Trip With the Kids

Today, the kids would finally depart for their first hunt.

Somehow, Zelos had managed to make some armor that fit each of them.

It had taken him about five days to finish it all—and what he’d ended up with was nothing like the kids’ requests for post-apocalyptic fashion.

Zelos had tried to accommodate Johnny’s design at first, attempting to make it work through trial and error. But eventually, out of concern for the children’s safety, he’d had to abandon the idea, despite his reluctance and all the effort he’d put in. (Or at least, that was one story. Another explanation was that it just got to be too much of a pain and he gave up.)

Regardless, the gear was all finished now, and he’d walked to the church and given it to the orphans—only for them to start changing into it right then and there! Maybe that wasn’t such a problem for the three boys, but obviously it was a bit of an issue for Ange and Kaede, the two girls of the group.

Luceris had hurriedly ushered them away into a room at the back of the church to get changed there instead.

One way or another, though, the orphans finally all had their own armor. In exchange, they gave Zelos their ill-fitting secondhand armor they’d bought—though, honestly, he had no use for it.

The armor Zelos had made for Ange, Johnny, Laddie and Kai was standard: sets of leather armor incorporating steel plates, a breastplate, and gauntlets. For weapons, they had shortswords, knives for taking apart bodies, bows and arrows, and short spears. Then some bucklers, for extra defense.

Kaede, meanwhile, had already had her own Eastern-style light equipment. Zelos had used that as a basis, then, improving it by further reducing its weight and reinforcing it with steel. It had ended up as the sort of armor set that would set any otaku’s heart alight; she was the perfect image of a warrior girl.

For weapons, he’d prepared her a katana and a wakizashi, a bow and arrows, and a cross spear.

And now that the orphans had all that equipped...

“It’s not, like, funky enough... I wanted something with more oomph! Like spiky shoulder pads!”

“I’m disappointed, Pops. I was looking forward to the chestpiece just being a bunch of chains or something. Where’s the originality?!”

“They all look the same. Were you just lazy? I don’t wanna have matching outfits with everyone! It’s embarrassing...”

“I don’t care as long as I get meat. Meat...”

The reviews were poor.

Sure, post-apocalyptic fashion would have a lot more character to it. But it’d be utterly useless on the practicality front, providing next to no defense.

Besides, having exposed skin would be no good on a hunt. When you were hunting, you wore thick clothes. That was just what made sense.

It wouldn’t do much against monsters with sharp fangs or claws, but it’d be effective against those that had thorns or leaves with sharp cutting edges. Some of those could be venomous too, so you didn’t want to let yourself get injured and end up envenomed.
