Chapter 149 – A Colorful Town
“So, Madam Kilev…”
“Just Kilev is okay.” The goddess of clothes walked while looking around. “Damn, this place is so lonely and depressing.”
I cleared my throat. “So, what do you want, Kilev?”
The woman turned around, and her clothes changed into a dress similar to Lilian Algernon’s from the seventh mission, complete with an inverted tornado-shaped bun on her head. “I don’t want to waste more time. There’s an outfit that exudes an aura of divinity. I’ve felt it the last few months, and it worries me. Levi hasn’t even given me permission to ask you for help. Until now. He finally thought you were ready to tackle a mission like this.
So, this is similar to what Erbau, the god of buildings, feels?
I kept watching the woman walking around my place. Not getting further information from her, I asked again. “What else do you know?”
“Damn, there used to be a swing here. I used to sit on it when I ran away from my husband.” Kilev stopped at one of the spots. This time her clothes changed into a modern white bikini. It’s one of the designs I gave her through Anja.
Well, that’s pretty awesome. Her beautiful body is highlighted, even though the curves and size of her assets are still inferior to my two servants.
Shit, I can’t lose focus..
I cleared my throat a second time, and the goddess finally responded. “And I felt something from some of the people around the clothes. So, they choose not to wear anything at all! I don’t know why it happened! Is it out of fear or what!? We have to do something!”
It took a few seconds for me to digest those words. “Sorry?”
“Well, I just feel it, can’t see it. I can’t explain it in more detail.” Kilev started walking again, this time towards Elise’s shrine. The woman paused for a moment when she saw Mona sleeping naked but didn’t seem too concerned about it.
I followed the woman who was now wearing fur clothes like a caveman. “So, you’re asking me to send my servants to check on that? Well, it can be done….”
I used a different tone in the last sentence to signal the goddess.
“Of course, I’m not going to ask you to do it for free.” She glanced at Kimi, who was starting to wake up. “Could it be that you want new clothes for that servant? I can make a good one. Well, even though what she’s wearing is actually pretty good.”
“How about you upgrade all of my servants’ outfits?” I replied, crossing my arms across my chest. “I hope the stats increase with some added effects.”
The goddess was silent for a moment, her eyes glancing to the side. “Okay, deal.”
“Great…”
“Then hurry.” The goddess walked again, this time dressed as a belly dancer with gold jewelry. “I want all of this to be over soon.”
“Now?”
Kilev stopped near my pond. “I’m afraid it escalated fast.”
“I see.” I lined her up, then called my other servants. I also asked Elise to bring Mona and the bee. The dog reverted to its original form, about the size of an average canine.

What an interesting mission. My enemy is an outfit, huh?
“I will give blessings to your outfit so that you won’t be affected by that evil clothes.” Kilev touched my servants’ clothes in turn with her hands that glowed with white light.
I then did a short briefing to them and gave my usual blessing by slapping their butts. Elise was still flinching, but Yua just smiled.
While the others were already walking towards the mist, Kimi remained standing and looked at me with her sleepy eyes. I purposely didn’t do my blessing to her. She looks too pure…. I didn’t have the heart to do something like that to her.
“What?” I shrugged.
“Nothing, my lord.” She then followed the two colleagues. “Bye.”
Yesterday she wanted to prostrate in front of me, but why is she so cold now? Is that her real self?
“I remember you used to smack my ass when you got the chance.” Kilev snorted.
I turned to Kilev, who was now in red lingerie. That’s also the design I gave her.

Yua and Elise landed on a marbled street. The kunoichi’s gaze fell on the bee perched on the female warrior’s shoulder.
“Are you all right, Yua?” Elise asked.
Yua rubbed her face. “Well, as our master said, I’ll have to get used to that bug. But don’t make it fly into my face, please.”
Meanwhile, Kimi floated down slowly. The elf played her magic lute to do that.
Yua came to the petite elf. “Why don’t you change your ears to those of a human if you want to hide them? You used to be able to easily transform our physique.”
Kimi, adjusting the position of her hood, responded, “When I came to Lord Raymund’s place, I lost a lot of power. I can’t do any more body modifications.”
Since the petite elf’s expression looked like a chunk of wood again, Yua just smiled, not knowing how to respond.
As usual, Elise observed her surroundings. The houses in the shape of a box with colorful paint there really create a festive atmosphere. However, all of that shows no life at all. All the doors and windows were closed.
“Find someone. Be careful.” Raymund gave instructions.
They started walking in that quiet environment. Sometimes, there was only the squeaking sound of a mouse passing by.
“What exactly happened?” Yua looked at some dry plant pots in front of a house. “This place looks like it hasn’t been abandoned for long.”
“You haven’t found anything yet, Mona?” Elise asked the dog, who had been sniffing for some time. The pet then barked at her master.
“Ladies!!!” From an intersection, a man with orange hair tied up ran to the servants. He then stood before them with a smile so broad that it showed his teeth. “Welcome to Silkdale Town!!!”
The servants’ eyes immediately fell on the man’s attire which consisted of a light magenta shirt and neon green pants. Two very striking colors.
“I’m Zak Bailey!” The man continued to speak in an excited tone. “I will…”
Suddenly, someone jumps between the servants and the man named Zak. The servants immediately lowered their chins when they saw the back of the black-haired woman’s body. Except for Kimi, who showed no reaction.
That woman’s back and buttocks were not covered by anything. Of course, that was because she only wore a large belly belt, a bronze bracelet, and leather boots.
Yes, she’s almost naked.
