BXBX NOVEL Chapter 23 - 23
"First up is the item we came here to bring you. [Ice Dragon Robes] a legendary recipe gained from a Tailoring quest."
Misha hands over the item and Lickity freezes in panic. "This binds when equipped. If I wear it, I can\'t give it back."
"We came here specifically to give it to you. See the outfits the girls have on? Both are the [Ice Dragon Robes] with accessories." Cain explains.
"Thank you so much then. Even if it\'s something embarrassing, I will still wear it sometimes." Lickity promises.
On her it\'s mostly translucent white silk, opaque where it needs to be for modesty, strategically placed Dragon scales making a beautiful twin White Dragon pattern down her sides to below the knees. It\'s floor length, strapless and backless, the plunging neckline ending below her belly button and the back showing a hint of rear cleavage, as it closes just below her tail. The laws of physics demand this outfit must be impossible, but it fits like it has been stitched to her body in places at the edges.
"That\'s vaguely similar to Mythryll\'s gown." Cain muses out loud, producing a [Yeti Fur Cloak] like the Elf is wearing. "Try adding this."
On the Succubus, it is not a fur trimmed silk choker with a gossamer cloak attached front and back. Instead it is a seamless white leather collar, with a heart shaped silver padlock hung at the front and lace trimming. It does have a cloak though. Attaching at two points on the back of the collar and just brushing the Succubus\' tail, instead of being near floor length.
"Well, what do you think?" Misha asks and Cixelcid discretely adjusts himself in his trousers.
"It\'s perfect, it covers everything! It\'s a real dress, and a real cloak, now all it needs is shoes."
Mythryll produces a set of [White Demonic Low Boots] and Lickity immediately puts them on. They\'re cute lace trimmed white ankle boots, not too out of place with the dress, but not perfect.
"What about [White Succubus Thigh Highs]" Misha suggests. They\'re white lace stockings with high heeled white leather shoes and a platform sole. They look great, if impossible to walk in. The Succubus is used to such treatment though, swaying around the room in the outrageous heels.
"Well that\'s one outfit sorted, let\'s go for more."
Few turn out as intended. Though there\'s a blue sundress cut high enough to show hints of her bottom cheeks, even while standing still, that Cid insists she must keep, as well as one men\'s shirt that seems to only have two buttons in the middle and hangs down to mid thigh.
"That one. It\'s perfect night wear." Cain insists and Cid gives him a thumbs up.
"Care to explain?" Mythryll asks confused at their reaction.
"It\'s a guy thing. It\'s hard to explain, but no man doesn\'t like seeing that outfit in the morning." Cixelcid laughs.
Finally they\'re down to items Mythryll refused to try and swimwear.
"First up. As you\'re a Succubus, let\'s go for the [Succubus Business Suit]" Misha cheers, getting to the fun part of the day and Lickity sighs, knowing this is what Cixelcid meant by a price for the clothing.
It\'s a form fitting Black Latex suit with leather cuffs and collar that contain sturdy metal rings and attached heeled boots.
"Um, well, everything\'s covered?" Misha tries stifling her giggle and Lickity looks herself over.
"Yes, I am not nearly naked. But somehow, I think this might be worse to wear in public than that little blue dress." The Succubus laughs, changing back to her white outfit and firmly handing it back. Misha discretely trades it and the matching [Succubus Business Hat] to Cixelcid.
A few more unsuitable options later, it\'s time for swimwear. There\'s a [Black Pentagram Bikini] that seems to look the same no matter who wears it, so that Lickity keeps. The racing swimsuits all turn transparent or have strategic holes in them, so those are out. There\'s a [Blue School Swimsuit] that comes out completely normal, so that is added to the collection and Misha declares they\'ve gone though everything likely to end well for the Succubus.
"Wait, there\'s one left." Mythryll says with an evil smile, producing the [Strappy Demonic One Piece].
Once everyone is dressed for dinner, Cid still sporting a small hand print on his face, the group heads down to try the famous restaurant downstairs.
"Worth every cent." Cixelcid declares, stomach now full, before heading to the pub with Cain for the evening while the ladies have a girls night in.
Cain stumbles back to the room just before dawn and collapses on the couch, spent and not wanting to wake anyone by trying to get in bed. He wakes groggy when the afternoon sunshine hits his face, cursing at the onslaught of pain. Where\'s Misha with a healing spell when he needs her?
Still in bed, as he discovered a few minutes later when she emerges with red eyes and tousled hair.
"Wine is evil." She mutters before casting an area healing spell followed by greater cure poison and curing everyone\'s hangover.
Mythryll runs out of the bedroom, followed by an elegantly dressed Lickity and gives Misha a big hug "Thank you so much. I really needed that, I was too afraid to open the curtains and let the light in."
"Lickity, what can you tell us about the major dungeon here?" Cain asks, deciding to get straight to business after paging hotel staff to bring up breakfast. The hostess is there in seconds, taking their orders with a smile before leaving without a sound.
"It\'s an undead dungeon. Mostly skeletons and zombies with a few lich and ghost type monsters. It\'s another one without dedicated boss locations, instead you\'ll find wandering boss Level monsters at random. The primary drops are undead related, so there might be something good for Cain\'s Summoning. The few who rolled Necromancer from the random character creation love this place, and your class is a little similar."
That\'s all good news. As long as the trade in materials are worth decent coin that is. They spent a lot of Misha\'s money on this suite.
"Also, Cid sent me a message a few minutes ago that there\'s a [Book of Turn Undead] at the Hall, so we should head over there first thing if Misha wants it."
"Let\'s go. Cain, carry the Succubus if she can\'t keep up." Misha yells running for the door.. Even if it\'s situational, she\'s not playing about getting a second damage skill.
