Chapter Five: The Lion and the Bomb

Prism Rider, Ray Starling

“I say we should opt for clothing instead.”

“Isn’t armor the better choice? I mean, who knows what could happen.” Following Nemesis’ suggestion that I get some casual clothes, we’d headed to the bustling fourth district, which was filled with all kinds of stores.

However, we’d run into a problem — should I buy armor or regular clothing?

Unlike in reality, what you wore in Dendro wasn’t just fashion, but defense too, potentially making it a crucial part of your survival. Most armor pieces with actually good bonuses were crafted using drops from monsters and such, and that often came at the cost of making them look awkward. On the other end of the spectrum, you had fashionable clothing that was both stylish and varied, but completely useless as armor.

For battle, you needed to focus on armor, but to look fabulous in the safety of a town, you needed regular clothing.

“...You sure I can’t just walk around like this?” I asked.

“That is completely out of the question,” Nemesis shot back. “Even you noticed how people react to you, did you not?”

She had me there. I’d even been stopped by some guards this morning. Man, what should I do? I wondered.

“Ah, Ray. Good morning!”

“Huh? Rook?” I’d run into a familiar, unexpected face.

Wasn’t he on a date with Kasumi? Or are they going to meet up later?

“Didn’t you say you had plans with Kasumi?”

“It... has been postponed.” He went on to say that Kasumi was sick in real life and couldn’t get out of bed. She’d caught something a few days ago and tried to recover before the date, but it hadn’t worked out. She was getting better, though, and it was likely that she would be well enough to go on the date tomorrow in Dendro time, which was about half a day in real life. If that wasn’t enough, then they would postpone it again.

Well, it happens, I guess, I thought. Unlike Dendro, real life doesn’t have items or spells that instantly cure disea— Huh? Wait. But my sister and someone else once... no, it must’ve been my imagination.

“With my schedule freed up, I thought I’d walk around the stores in the fourth district or pay a visit to the pimp guild. I haven’t been there in a while,” said Rook. “What about you two?”

“Oh, I already talked to Azurite about you-know-what, so we’re just shopping now,” I said.

“We’re looking for clothes for Ray,” Nemesis added.

“Clothes? I see, I see!” Rook said.

...See what? I wondered.

“I mean that I understand. Don’t worry about it, please,” Rook elaborated.

“All right... Anyway, we ran into a bit of a problem,” I said before explaining to him that we couldn’t decide whether to focus on the stats, the design, or just keep things as they were.

Rook tilted his head and said, “Why not just buy normal clothes and use an accessory with the Clothing Switch skill?”

“The what skill?” I’d never heard of that one before.

According to Rook, Clothing Switch
