The bottom half of her body is covered with a steel protector around her bikini swimsuit area in my world. Itâs like she is wearing armor on her bare skin, and itâs quite erotic. Itâs also cute.
âYou see, this quest is going to be a seaside battle, right?ăI thought it would be okay if it got wet so that I could move around easily in the water.â
Rita said, and stretched her chest, wrapped in a black protector.
âItâs the best outfit Iâve ever worn when it comes to mobility and reaction time. With this, I can kill enemies with my super reaction the moment I find them, right?ăThat way, I wonât have to use up Cecilâs magic power, and Nagi wonât be injured.â
Of course, itâs embarrassing, so Iâm going to limit it to uninhabited dungeons like this one, but âŚwhat⌠do you think?
Rita murmurs in a whisper, looking to the side.
Her tail was twitching behind her black bikini.
Rita looked at me shyly, but then, as if she had taken the plunge, she spun around in front of me. Her back was well guarded around her shoulder blades, and there was a hole for the tail. It looks like it was made for a beast.
It looks really good on her.
I didnât think a black bikini would look so perfect against Ritaâs pure white skin. Cute.
Yeah. I think itâs good. I think itâs good, butâŚ
âItâs pretty expensive, isnât it?â
âWhat? Why?â
âBecause itâs magic armor, right?â
In games and such, bikini armor is supposed to âconvert charm into defenseâ. Of course, thereâs no point in having armor that only covers your chest and waist. So, by implication, the entire body is covered with a magical field. This is the so-called magical armor setting.
Thatâs why the bikini armor in this world should also be magical armor.
âMagic armor are quite expensive. Itâs a little over our budget.â
âOh, I heard that kind of magic protection will be implemented in the next version.â
âŚHuh?
âSo this is just a paper armor with high exposeure?â
âIâm fine! I have [Divine Power Grasp]. If I concentrate my divine power on the part of the body that will be attacked, there will be no problem. Right now, I should focus on ease of movement and attack power, right? That way, I can protect Nagi, right? Thatâs why I think this armor is the most appropriate for this quest.â
Ritaâs body shuddered.
âRejected.â
I pick my quill from the desk.
âWhat are you doing, Nagi?â
âI will see if it really is defensibleâ.
âItâs not fair to catch me by surprise! I didât think Master was going to tickle me with a quill!â
âYeah, Iâm sorry. I did it out of reflex, too.â
Rita turned bright red and was shaking. Her golden tail was swollen and her ears were perked up. She wass holding herself in her white arms, still and alert.
âYou know, Rita. I know you can defend yourself with the [Divine Power Grasp], but you have to be tense all the time. Youâll get tired faster, and youâll lose energy. As your Master, I canât allow you to fight that way.â
âBut the easier it is to move, the higher my reaction speed and attack power will be. I want to be useful to Nagi!â
âNo, because I wi;ll be worried.â
ââŚE.â
âYou may know that you can protectruoy self, but that doesnât make me feel safe. I have to worry about when you are going to get hurt, or when you are going to miss the timing of the [Divine Power Grasp]. My mind canât handle the worry. No, you canât. That armor is rejected.â
âUh-oh.â
âYou need to find a balance between offensive and defensive capabilities. As a master, I canât allow you to fight in that outfit. Thatâs all.â
Armor that can only protect the chest and waist area is useless. Itâs just like some part-time workers who were forced to work in factories without helmets and safety shoes.
Weâre going to a dungeon, so Rita needs to have adequate protection.
ââŚâŚAll right, master. Iâll use normal equipment.â
Rita looked at me with tears in her eyes for a while, but then her shoulders slumped.
âIf it really was a magical armor that converted Ritaâs charm and cuteness into defensive power, there would be no problem.â
I said.
âThen I wonât have to worry about it at all. Iâm sure you would be absolutely invincible then.â
But there was no way I could afford such magical armor.
But Iâd likeâŚâŚÂ it if it were real. No, no. I donât want Rita to go out dressed like that. Sheâs cute, though. The combination of Rita and a black bikini makes me wonder if God is in charge.
I hope itâs for home use. For home use.
âNah, Nagi, gosh darn it, âŚâ
The next thing I knew, Rita was turning so red that she looked like she was about to burst into steam.
âCan you say that again?â
âOne more time?â
âWhat you just said. If this was some kind of magical armor that turns my charms into defenses?â
âIt would have been the strongest defensive armor that no demon could harm, so you would have been safe, but now that itâs not the case, itâs unusable. It means that you have to use a different equipment.â
ââŚWhoaâ
Rita flinched back, as if she had been punched in the jaw.
Then she nodded, holding her chest with a bright red face.
ââŚYes. Master. Rita Melpheus will do as you say.â
âIâm sorry if I sound like Iâm denying everything, and you went through a lot of trouble to make your choice.â
âThatâs not the case.â
Rita looked kind of pouty and shook her head.
âItâs more of a full affirmation. Yeah, I get it. I know what Nagi finds attractive. Yes, Nagi is good at this kind of thing. Heâs absolutely invincible because his charm is his defense.â
As she said this, Rita slowly backed away.
I mean, this is for home. No, no. Iâll have Aine make me a dress in the same shape, and when I see a chance, Iâll invite Cecil to join us too.
Smoothly, as if she had eyes in the back of her head, Rita backed away and walked out of the room.
Blonde hair. White skin. Beast ears and a tail. And a black bikini.
It was the strongest combination.
If the armor really converted âcharmâ into defense, she would have been invincible.
I canât let her use the current version, can I? I canât let them fight with that thing.
But for home use?
Iâm not sure.
Iâll ask Letica the price later.
Then, a little while later.
âNa-kun, can I talk to you for a second?â
I heard a knock on the door and Aineâs voice.
âYeah, the door is already open, so you can come in as usual, Aine.â
âSorry to bother âŚyou.â
When Aine came into the room, she was wearing her usual maidâs uniform.
