I was taken aback by Roberto's sudden sigh as he stopped measuring my chest. At that moment, my father, who had been watching from the side with interest, spoke up.
"Jin, do you really need that?"
"Yes. I never thought that after money, I would have to make a suit for young master as well."
To think I would end up making a suit like Father.
What does he mean?
"Ah, don't worry."
Seeing my puzzled expression, Roberto waved his hand and smiled.
"Don't misunderstand, young master. If it's a good thing, it's a good thing; it's not bad at all."
"A good thing...?"
"Yes. Most Awakeners can make suits with the materials we have in our store without much trouble. We have a wide variety of materials. However..."
He glanced at my father as he spoke.
"The quality of the materials we currently have is far too low to handle young master's nature and characteristics. And, there was someone like this before, your father, Vito Calione. It was about money."
In other words, he is saying that.
Our store's materials cannot handle your potential.
"Then, what should we do? In the end, didn't Father's suit also have to be made by Maestro?"
"Well, back then, money himself provided the materials. I don't need much. Just one material."
He raised his finger as he said this.
"A material that contains young master's narrative. That's the key."
"Really?"
A material containing a narrative... Could he be talking about achievement items?
In the game, there was a similar system.
Every time an achievement was unlocked, the system would grant an item called 'Fragment of Achievement.' Players could use this to create their own 'Unique' grade items. Now, in this reality, it seems that such items can be created through Maestro.
"Then, where can we get a material containing a narrative?"
I asked Maestro with a hint of doubt, and he shrugged.
"I don't know either."
"Really?"
"In the case of money, he brought materials from a monster he defeated himself on 'that day.' As for Sir Farnello, it was a knife he had used for his entire life."
Then, Roberto looked me straight in the eye.
"I'm really looking forward to what you will bring. Now, let's measure your waist, shall we?"
"Wait a moment. If we don't have that material, we can't make the suit, right?"
Why is he trying to proceed?
"Haha! Do you think I, called Maestro, can't make a suit just because I lack one material?"
"Really?"
"We can't make a 'Unique' grade suit right now, but we can certainly make a 'Unique' grade suit with the materials in the store."
He continued to measure, turning my body to check the overall measurements.
"Then, will we have to measure again when we have the material?"
Hearing this, Roberto, who was measuring my thigh, chuckled.
"Probably not. Usually, a 'Unique' grade suit is completed by absorbing the 'material' into the core."
After measuring all the dimensions, Roberto straightened up and put away his measuring tape.
"Normally, the next step would be to choose the material for the suit, but since money has already decided everything, we can skip that."
"Father?"
Turning to Roberto's words, I saw my father smiling faintly at me.
"Yes, I wanted to make your first suit with the materials I had collected myself, so I indulged a bit."
"Yes, that's why he only needed the material for the core. The items given by money are more than enough to create a masterpiece."
Goodness... Goodness...!
'That' money, Vito Calione.
If we were to choose the strongest person in the world, he would always be mentioned.
Materials he collected himself?!
"The fabric will be made from the wool of the 'Abyssal Jade King,' who appeared in the form of a sheep in Gangwon Province in the past."
I was amazed.
"The lining will be made from the silk first produced by the 'Abyss Moss' as it grows."
I was truly amazed.
"The buttons will be made from the horn of a 'Unicorn.'"
I felt like I could die of happiness.
"Of course, the material that will act as the final core must be prepared by you, young master."
I looked at my father with trembling eyes.
Abyssal Jade King's wool.
Abyss Moss's silk.
Unicorn's horn.
These three materials alone were almost impossible to obtain, let alone capture, and were truly the best material items.
"Father..."
"These are things I've always kept just in case. It feels good to use them now."
Indeed.
The fact that the ruler of our underworld is a doting father is the greatest fortune for me.

I woke up from my bed, enjoying the refreshing feeling I hadn't felt in a long time, and stretched.
"Sleeping well is indeed good."
For the past few days, with successor classes and organization requests, I hadn't been able to get a proper night's sleep. This vacation really allowed me to get a good rest.
"Should I get ready?"
Today was Saturday, and I didn't have to go to the academy, but I couldn't just roll around at home since I had received a request from 'Regeneration.' Besides, I had also given training instructions to the kids.
After a quick grooming and changing into my academy uniform, I recalled yesterday's events.
'The suit will likely be completed in about a week. I'll inform you when it's ready, so please wait patiently.'
It seemed that the suit would take quite some time to make, given that it wasn't an ordinary one.
No, if it only took a week to make such a suit, it would be considered fast.
"Brother, are you going to school today?"
As I walked to the front door to go out, Ji-yoon, who was eating a snack in the dining room, approached me with cream all over her mouth.
The little girl, unaware of the cream on her cheeks, smiled up at me.
"Today, I'll come back early, so let's play together at dinner?"
"Yay! Yes!"
Since it was Saturday, I thought I should give her some healing.
Leaving Ji-yoon behind, I headed to the academy with the waiting organization member. Since Han Seo-joon was on leave today, a new member was driving, so I checked the <Character Guide>, but unfortunately, there were no new update notifications.
Well, I thought it was because he wasn't that special.
"You're here... working hard."
In the distance, I saw Jin-woo using the equipment in the training room filled with exercise machines.
Jin-woo turned to look at me only when he reached the entrance of the training room and sensed my presence.
"Ah, Boss is here?"
"You came earlier than I expected."
"…Our house is a bit far. I always try to arrive on time, but I end up being late, so I come early every day."
I thought he didn't usually arrive late, but it seems there was a reason for it.
"Where's Se-a?"
"Her? She hasn't come yet?"
"Se-a?"
I thought Se-a would come before Jin-woo.
Is something wrong?
"Didn't I come late?! I'm not late, right?!"
Se-a burst into the club room with a loud noise, panting heavily and collapsing.
"Uh... No, you're not late."
"Ah... Thank goodness. I was making dinner for my siblings, and time flew by..."
In the <Character Guide>, it said Se-a was taking care of two younger siblings. I thought I should give her a little more reward money if we complete this mission well.
"Take a deep breath first. The place we're going isn't that far."
"Huh? Where are we going?"
Since I hadn't told him the details of the training, Jin-woo tilted his head in confusion.
"I thought we would just train here or spar to improve our skills."
"We're going to a dungeon. You, me, and Se-a, the three of us."
"A dungeon?!"
Se-a exclaimed in shock.
"A dungeon? You mean the place where monsters drop... no, materials when you defeat them?"
"Uh... Yes?"
"I heard that most dungeons in the capital are owned by guilds, and it costs a lot just to enter... Is Eugene a god...?"
"No, I'm not a god."
Not to that extent.
Maybe if I were a transmigrator.
"So? Where are we going? Shinchon? Gangnam? I can go anywhere right away!"
Is it because entering a dungeon means making money?
The excitement in Se-a's eyes, which had been panting just a moment ago, began to sparkle.
Shinchon and Gangnam... Where is she thinking of going?
"I said it's not far."
I pointed to the ground I was standing on.
"Underground."
"Huh?"
"We're going underground."
Do you think I asked for the Z-room just because it was spacious and had an elevator?
I specifically mentioned the Z-room because it was the only way to access the dungeon through here.
"Boss, underground? There's a dungeon underground here?"
Jin-woo, who had wiped the sweat from his face with a towel, asked, and I nodded.
He widened his eyes in surprise.
"Really? Seriously?"
"Of course, it's real, not fake."
Since the spy I planted in the 'Ranger Club' said he would follow the others to the dungeon today, we should also go to the dungeon.
