“Hestiaaa!”

The moment Hestia arrived at the Magical Garment Factory, she was seized by Lucia, who seemed to have been waiting for her in the hallway.

“Come on, come with me!”

She seemed to be in quite the hurry. Thinking it must be something to do with the zephyricloth, Hestia allowed herself to be guided by the arm into the manager’s office.

“Hestia, use this!” Lucia said, whipping out a slender black box. Giving in to Lucia’s enthusiasm, Hestia took the box, which was actually fairly light. Lucia looked at her pointedly, encouraging her to open it, so Hestia gently removed the lid.

“Oh my...”

That was all she could say.

Inside the box was a fabric cutter. That was its proper name, but its appearance was closer to that of an ordinary knife. A pale blue sheen gave the silver blade a cool luster.

“It’s mythril enchanted with hardening, so as long as nothing happens to it, you’ll never have to replace the blade. I asked the shop to customize the handle to your liking. Oh, that was included in the cost.”

The name of a famous magical tool shop in the nobles’ quarter was engraved on the box. This could very well be called a high-grade magical tool rather than a dressmaking tool.

“Are you sure I can borrow such a fine item? It must be expensive to rent.”

With this cutter, even someone like herself who lacked strength would be able to cut thick, double-layered fabrics. Even monster leather wouldn’t pose a problem. Considering how much it cost, she’d have to make sure to work hard.

“This was purchased just for you, Hestia. Now you have a tool that can compensate for not having magic. Just think of all the things you can do now!”

“That’s true, but something as nice as this is wasted on me. If someone stronger than me could use it, they’d be able to do much more with monster materials. I even need to ask for help to use the large cutting machines—”

“It’s not wasted on you at all. You’ll have an easier time cutting fabric, and you can just ask someone for help with anything you can’t do. That’s what this factory and your colleagues are here for. I don’t know anything about accounting, I don’t know even half the noble etiquette I should, my sewing skills are outshined by those of the other stitchers, I can’t cut perfect curves like you can, and I can’t make alterations as skillfully as Dante can. But I’m decent at being head manager, right? Even despite all my shortcomings.”

Lucia said all of that in one breath, then grinned and continued.

“Besides, it’s not a present. It’s been decided that the cutters of the Magical Garment Factory need to have their own mythril fabric cutter!”

“When was that decided?”

“Just now. By my authority as the head manager.”

“That sounds like an abuse of authority. First of all, I’m the only cutter here...”

Hestia was the only one who held the title of cutter here at the Magical Garment Factory. She was an
