Chapter 1645
“The other thing for Master is this armor.” Sapphire seemed to hold this weapon with much less reverence, which told me that she hadn’t made it herself.
It appeared to be based on some of the armor I had worn in the past. Usually, when I entered dungeons, I wore a mismatch of parts from dungeon drops. Some had magical effects, while others were just strong pieces that happened to work well with my fighting style. In general, I liked to move quickly and then get out of the way. I didn’t like to take damage, so armor that kept me from getting hit was always welcome.
What I got seemed to be clad in black and grey. I noticed the body armor of the lionesses was also black and grey. At first, I thought the deep dwarves were picking colors based on the environment they were raised in, but that’s when I saw an insignia on the breastplate. It had two circles as the background, one black and one grey, and in front of it was a door leading into darkness.
“That’s our sigil…” Alysia breathed.
This sigil was the one we had to make together in the Illusory Sword Dungeon. The only place that it existed was on Alysia, a token embedded at the base of her blade. Also, the blessing on the back of my hand had the appearance of that sigil when I summoned her. Otherwise, I had never really mentioned it or made a big deal about it since I had come back. The others had noticed it though, and now I realized that the sigil wasn’t just on my armor, but on the armor of the girls too.
“I thought this was Master’s colors and insignia. Was I wrong?” Sapphire asked.
“No… it’s perfect.” I declared, causing her to smile.
Whether it was my own haphazard armor or the random stuff my party war, we had never looked like a single unit. I had always thought the idea of uniforms was silly, and that people should just wear whatever they felt like wearing. However, seeing the colors and the familiar insignia that I had chosen for myself, I was truly starting to feel like a leader. Would I call myself a king? Perhaps, it was a bit too soon for that. At the least, I felt like we were united.

“That’s all I have for now.” Sapphire finished up with that. “We will continue to produce new things. The girl’s armors will be finished, but Uncle wanted to finish yours first. I worked on the sword!”
I had already guessed that, but seeing her puffing out with pride, I couldn’t help but thank her again. By thanking her, I meant that I pulled her into my arms and I gave her a kiss. The lionesses looked with interest, while Eliana looked away sheepishly. The Titan Fall girls watched with interest, nodding with approval at the proper levels of manliness. Anne was the one who had the biggest reaction. Her eyes popped out and her mouth fell open.
