While preparations were happening in the demon lands, Shaman and her group were in the lounge getting ready to leave. Freja was sitting down in the lounge with new sets of clothes, but this time there was something special about them.
"These clothes are not your normal attire. Part of the reason why I wanted you to get stronger was so you could handle beast material. I am giving you tier-9 quality clothes all from beasts that suit you. As for Elanor, she may have only joined recently, but fortunately for her I only needed to make a trip to my vault." Freja laid out on a table in front of her boxes, all colour coded to match each of the members.
"Now some of your outfits do show some skin, but rest assured these clothes will act a little different from your usual wear. Now go get changed and you will soon see what I mean. It will be easier to understand once you experience it first-hand." Once Freja was done with her explanation each of the members grabbed a box and headed back to their rooms to change.
*
The first to come out of their room was Clara as she had something very simple. Matching the cultural theme of Ebonscale, Clara was given a qipao and thigh-high socks. The qipao was edged with gold with rose patterns scattered on its sides, spread in shades of dark gold and bright purple. At the top of the slit in the qipao, a golden rose and purple gem were attached making her feel like she was royalty. However, it was quite short, only going halfway down her thighs and she felt like every movement would flash someone.
"This is too damn embarrassing." Clara was visibly red as this was something she would rather wear for Shaman and Elysia instead of for battle.
"Ah, it looks good on you fufu~." Finally done waiting Freja was pleasantly surprised by Clara's outfit.
"I demand a redesign! I don't want to be giving people a view as I fight." Clara was constantly pulling down on the qipao and started to think this was some ploy for Freja to make them cosplay.
"Fine, I won't tease you too much. Try channeling some mana into your clothes." Freja would love to tease Clara, but it was one of her own rules to never pry on other people's partners without a good reason… Usually.
Clara did exactly as she said and suddenly she felt mana wrap around her legs.
"Woah." Clara lifted one of the sides and noticed that something was forcible creating a shadow preventing anyone from seeing underneath.
"See! I already thought of everything. With a little bit of mana that you only need to expend once the dress will conceal you. The special thing about these outfits is that they change to fit you perfectly and, with a bit of tinkering, I managed a way to conceal exposed parts from prying eyes." Freja felt proud as there was nothing worse than people trying to take a look, so knowing that there is no way for anyone to see made the outfit less embarrassing.
"Damn I'm impressed, now I'm actually liking this outfit." Despite Clara being a demon, she grew up in Chinese culture so she had a sense of familiarity with the outfit. It did bring back memories of living with Himeko, but they weren't all bad. It reminded her of the local festivals where she wore something similar.
"I'm glad you like it since it is made out of dragon skin." Freja was glad she hit the mark with the outfit since it wasn't cheap to make.
"Dragon skin!?" Clara found it insane since dragons alone are disaster-level creatures.
"Yep it was a juvenile one so it wasn't quite a tier 10. Sadly it didn't have as much skin, but if I let it get any stronger then I wouldn't be able to reap the materials." Freja elaborated on how she acquired the materials which seemed like a highly dangerous endeavor, but it was Freja so the more dangerous creature was her.
"But why couldn't we wear it until we were tier 6?" Clara remembered What Freja said earlier and was curious about this fact.
"I'll tell you when everyone is out. Speaking of which it looks like Elanor finished changing." Freja didn't want to repeat herself so she decided to wait until everyone was out.
Elanor came out of her room and surprisingly her outfit didn't change too much. She wore black pants and a leather corset over a shirt. The t-shirt had an opening on her chest that showed some cleavage which clearly made Elanor a little shy as she walked out. On her wrists were short sleeves that were adorned with frills, matching the sleeves of the t-shirt.
Everything was also edged with a bit of gold giving this nobility feeling which Elanor quite liked.
"Damn you look good in that Clara." Elanor felt like she was scammed since Clara was given such a fancy dress where she got more of a re-colour and exposed chest.
"You look great too, I'm sure a certain someone will definitely enjoy seeing you." Clara appreciated the compliment as it gave her a confidence boost in such a tight and short dress.
"O-oh really? Alright." Elanor in the end couldn't complain as she liked the style and preferred not to wear dresses or fancy clothes.
"Here comes more." Freja heard Silver's door opening and made sure to announce it.
Walking out, Silver wore a black skin-tight long-sleeved top as well as pants. He also had a hooded shoulder cape that also came with a mask. It was clear Freja tried to go for an assassin look which she was successful in doing. Like everyone else so far the edges of his clothes were golden and if it wasn't for his cute face he would fit the description of a shady dealer.
"I don't know if Silver is looking more cute or badass." Clara loved the design and it really signified his role as someone who moves in the shadows. Elanor also loved the design and found him adorable, but overall the outfit definitely made him look cooler.
Silver scratched his head while blushing and looked away since he wasn't too confident in his looks.
"Here comes the final pair."
Shaman and Elysia having a bit more complicated clothes came out last. Shaman wore a dress that was half kimono and a skirt, a golden ribbon wrapped around her waist concealing the connection. Part of the kimono that covered her chest was white while her sleeves and back were black.
The outfit perfectly captured the original Shaman's origins as the fox realm had taken to Japanese culture. Elysia on the other hand received something that came from the victorian era, but to give it the fox realm touch it ended up as a lolita dress.
Elysia looked like she had 2 skirts with one slightly longer red skirt under the black one. She was given a corset that was edged with gold and tied up with golden strings. Elysia was also wearing a long sleeve button-up shirt that barely held her chest and a red bow tie at the collar. Her stockings were also still there and had not changed much other than them being made of a much higher quality material.
The outfit gave Elysia a rebel princess vibe which represented the weird situation with Elysia's family and how they oppose Shaman's family.
"Wow, you both look gorgeous." Clara found herself fangirling a little over their outfits as they looked perfect to her.
"Makes me want to try on a dress." Elanor loved the look which made her curious how a dress like Elysia's or Shaman's would look on her.
Silver was stun locked and didn't know what to say as all of his mum's looked amazing.
"Looks like all the princesses are here…. Wait a minute, technically you are all princesses except Silver." Freja just came upon a realisation that everyone in this group was some form of royalty. Although Elysia came from a fallen family technically she could receive a princess status if her family rose to power.
"Now that I think about it, Clara is the lost princess of the demon lands, Elanor the exiled princess of Elfhiem and then Elysia the fallen princess of the fox realm." Shaman hadn't really thought about it, but with Freja pointing it out, it seemed that every person she picked up had some form of connection to nobility. Even Silver had royal status since he had her blood in him making him a future prince or king.
"Damn Shaman, I thought my girls were of impressive origin but if you keep this up, you will end with a harem full of royalty." Freja clapped her hands, impressed with these series of coincidences and was tempted to give Shaman a nickname.
"Oi who said I would be having more, it was scary enough getting Elysia and Clara to like each other." Shaman didn't like the assumption that she was trying to go for a harem. All she ever did was let things take their natural course.
"Your loss, but I guess we should move on and show how these new clothes work." Not wanting to waste any more time, Freja stood up from the couch ready to show them the full capabilities of their new monster-made clothes.
