Chapter 235

**Sunlight Silk.**
This is the kind of material one obtains upon reaching an advanced level in the FBO.
Depending on how it is enchanted, it is a high-performance fabric capable of being used all the way until the final battles.
Compared to armor of the same class, it may be slightly inferior in pure defensive capability, but when it comes to resistances, its performance is nothing short of extraordinary.
First, it has a 30% resistance to all elemental attributes. At this point alone, it can reduce damage from all elemental attacks by 30%.
Next, it boasts a 40% resistance to status ailments.
With resistances against poison, sleep, curses, and even debuffs, no one in their right mind could call this material weak.
While it doesn’t provide complete immunity across the board, its balanced coverage and base specs are impressive.
In terms of physical defense, it rivals the +100 defense of bog dragon equipment, making it exceptional for cloth-based gear.
As for magic defense, it ranks in the upper-middle tier among Class 7 equipment.
Moreover, being a Class 7 material, any gear crafted from it can hold up to seven enchantments.
This is not equipment we should even have at our current level.

"Look, look, Liberta-kun!! It’s amazing!! So pretty!!"
"Yeah, it really is beautiful."
"! Ehehe, right?"
Right now, Amina is wearing a stage costume made from that very Sunlight Silk.
Prioritizing ease of movement, the skirt is cut short above the knees, with shorts underneath to prevent exposure. The top half is inspired by modern idol outfits from my world, styled like a modified school uniform.
Though it’s called an idol costume, it’s enchanted for combat use—essentially, it’s battle attire.
A white base adorned with red embroidery, accented with warm oranges and yellows—Amina’s signature outfit.
A design that balances a slightly mature aura with cuteness, its name is:
**"Sunlight Live Dress."**
I couldn’t help but laugh at the naming sense of the spirits, who christened it based on her combat style after enchanting it.
---
Enchanting requires skill scrolls or monster materials with the desired effects.
I had underestimated the sheer passion the spirits had for the live performances.
"60% boost to singing skill effects, 35% boost to dance skill effects, 30% boost to buff effects, 25% boost to physical defense, 25% boost to magic defense, 5% constant regeneration, 50% increase in natural mana recovery… If the Duke saw this, he’d faint, wouldn’t he?"
Of course, my material wishlist included everything needed to enchant the Sunlight series.
"No, Liberta. He wouldn’t faint. Instead, he’d do absolutely anything to get his hands on it."
"Yeah, you’re right. I might’ve gone a bit overboard."
"Yet, you don’t seem to regret it at all."
I gathered everything from the bare minimum to the ideal materials for enchantments.
Lady Esmeralda is also wearing equipment enchanted with these materials.
---
A daring slit dress that exposes one leg.
By this world’s noble standards, the design would be unthinkable. But for drumming, freedom of movement was essential.
We briefly considered pants, but after deliberation with the three sisters, we settled on this slit-dress style.
Designed for mobility and ease of movement, it’s our proud creation.
White Sunlight Silk as the base, with yellow and light blue accents—a mage-specialized outfit for Lady Esmeralda.
---
"After coming this far, holding back would be an insult to the spirits who gathered these materials—and I’d never forgive myself."
"I see. That makes sense."
"By the way, how does the dress feel?"
"It’s strangely tense, wearing national treasure-level gear. The fit is astonishingly perfect, and the fabric is exquisite. I have no complaints. Though I don’t fully grasp its worth, I know it surpasses any equipment in my kingdom. That’s where the tension comes from."
"Physical and magic defense boosts are standard for everyone. The 50% mana recovery matches Amina’s. Beyond that, it’s pure mage specialization: 30% magic skill damage boost, 25% reduced magic cost, 20% increased mana pool, Auto Magic Shield… Yeah, I did a good job."
"I never imagined I’d experience Liberta’s lack of restraint in this form."
"Pretty great, right?"
"Yes. If this is what meeting legend feels like, then it’s wonderful."
---
The materials we gathered for our equipment were obtained under strict safety protocols, drilled into the wind spirits until they were sick of hearing it.
I refused to let spirits suffer for our sake.
Yet, they still brought us the best materials possible at our level.
That’s why Lady Esmeralda’s smile shifted from a wry grin to one of pride.
---
The materials required were incredibly rare—low drop rates, treasure chest exclusives, or field spawns after repeated dungeon runs.
They gathered everything I specified in just one month.
I wanted to repay their effort, devotion, and expectations.
So, I poured everything into crafting the gear.
Days and nights were spent brainstorming designs with the Thunder Trio.
The Dark Spirit and I meticulously planned enchantment sequences and combinations.
We even fine-tuned the instruments for the live performances.
The result? The best possible equipment for our party at this stage, including Amina’s Live Dress.
---
"By the way, everyone’s outfits have such a unified feel."
"Well, since we’re a group, the Thunder Trio insisted on cohesion."
Nel noticed the common design element—everyone’s outfit has a blazer-like top.
Though the designs vary, the base is the same.
Nel’s outfit, evolved from her bog dragon gear, resembles a rider’s suit but with a jacket-style top.
White-based like the others, but with red accents to match her fiery hair, exuding a cool beauty.
In this outfit, I could see a future where she’d captivate women effortlessly.
The fit? Perfect—no hindrance to movement.
---
"Yeah, it’s really great!"
"Glad you like it. Nel’s gear is frontline-specialized: 30% speed boost, 30% physical skill damage, 25% status resistance, 5% regeneration, and 30% hate reduction."
As our main attacker, hate control was a must.
The spirits securing the materials for this was nothing short of a miracle.
---
Watching Nel bounce around, I turned to see Ingrid standing naturally.
"Ingrid is… well, a maid."
"Yes, a maid."
Returned from dragon maid to classic maid attire, yet it somehow made her look even more refined.
A calm blue and navy classical maid outfit.
"Size is fine?"
"Yes, no issues. It’s comfortable and light. The enchantments make movement even easier. I’ll serve you better this way."
Compared to the others, her outfit may seem plain, but its effects are anything but.
---
"Physical and magic defense aside: 30% speed, 25% reduced magic cost, 60% life skill boost, 5% regeneration, 50% mana recovery… A maid outfit like this doesn’t exist, right?"
"No, likely not even for royal maids."
"It’d be absurd if it did."
"Yes, this surpasses royal guard equipment."
"Having a maid like Ingrid protect the king would be more reliable."
"Indeed."
A magic-specialized maid? Dangerous.
For a moment, I imagined an entire royal guard of maids.
---
Lastly, there’s Claudia.
This one’s…
"Something wrong?"
"No, I just want to call you ‘big sis.’"
"Please don’t."
A fusion of Eastern and Western styles—I pitched it on a whim, and the Thunder Trio ran with it.
Imagine hakama paired with a draped jacket, both in navy, amplifying her dignified aura.
A sax might seem out of place, but she’d make it work.
Her tall, poised stance was downright cool.
---
"At first, I considered a nun’s habit, but it didn’t feel right."
"So this is the result."
"Not good?"
"No, it’s modest and mobile. Though I don’t get how the jacket stays on. It’s not sewn, yet it doesn’t fall off."
"Ah, the Dark Spirit worked on that. A hidden magical fastener absorbs ambient mana—zero user cost."
"…The ingenuity of ancient spirits is astounding."
"And the enchantments? No slacking there either."
"Nearly identical to Nel’s, except hate reduction is swapped for 30% healing boost."
No discrimination—only the best for everyone.
---
As I admired the girls’ gear, they turned the tables.
"Speaking of, where’s your outfit, Liberta?"
"Right, you’re still in your usual clothes."
"Did you not make one?"
"That won’t do."
"Did you use up all the materials on ours?"
"No, mine’s ready. It’s just not worth showing off."
And just like that, the focus shifted to me.
