I Got Transferred in the Middle of a Mountain. In Retaliation, I Chose Amenity over Strength.

sophisticated in this world, but it’s more so in the rural areas.
The cities and aristocratic mansions that don’t have drainages usually have those chair-like things that accumulate their waste — well, basically those are chamber pots, I think.
Noble ladies also have those puffed-up skirts so they can do their business anywhere; I was disappointed when I heard that, but it’s something new.

You normally won’t think that the fashionably-crafted jars in the workshop would be used for something like this, right? Like, it’s unthinkable that the ladies are hiding those under their skirts to do their business, right? That’s why they should just stop creating chamber pots that are more beautiful than soup pots! I got laughed at when I misunderstood!!

Maybe I should ask Ash if she wants a coat.

I got too many monitor lizard hides because of playing tag with the spirits that fell into darkness, but the usable portion was only small because the treating process was troublesome.
Well, I also got raw materials from Bicorn and TriHorn foxes, spiders, great snow geese, owls, jays, and wolves.
So I already gathered a lot before I noticed it, huh.

Spring already came while I was considering whether I should make a coat that can be used in the forest, lined inside with fox fur.

And so, a lot of things happened, and the day of our departure finally arrived.

「 Oh, you’re matchy-matchy? 」
Dean asked me when I got to the Adventurer’s Guild, which was our meeting place.
Dean, Retze and Chris were already there waiting in the corner of the pub.

「 Probably? 」
「 Why is that a question, huh.
」

Ash, Butler and I lived near each other, so the three of us arrived at the guild together.
Ash replied that she wanted the coat when I asked her, so I hastily processed the leather and made a pale indigo coat.

I dyed it repeatedly in an attempt to make it blue, but it turned into a light, bluish, pale indigo tinged with gray.
I used gold for the metal embellishments, and the shape was a bit different, but if we compared it to the normal ones you see around town, then ours are so similar that we can be considered as matching, I guess?

I also put the same metal embellishments I used on Ash’s coat on the prototype black robe, then I handed it to Butler.
He replied with「 I’ll borrow this.
」 , it seems that he’ll return it after our expedition.

「 Hey, it’s been a while.
」
Retze shook hands with me.
I see him at the Guild from time to time, but it’s been a while since we talked like this.
Well, I was busy with my craft, I guess.

「 Twilight, I can’t believe my ears when they said that you will be joining us to camp outside and that you will be our porter.
If it is too much of a burden to you, then just say a word, let me relieve you of the luggage, at the very least.
」

Chris shook my hand as he tapped my back with his left hand.

「 Yeah, thanks? 」

I learned how to let it pass, now! Not to mention camping, I’m fine with the baggage, so it’d be weird even if he switched with me.

I also activated my spirit-seeing mode.
A light spirit, probably the one attached to Chris, was caressing his chin all the while.
It was merrily tracing the cleft, thoroughly enjoying itself.
I’m not sure how to react, though.

No, I need to hide my ability, so I shouldn’t react, right? Ash and Butler probably knew about it, right? They can see it, right? What kind of face muscles do they have, being able to stay poker faced all this time.
