Chapter 1014 Preparing Something For Mist
-----
After saving all the materials, we moved back to the camp. We didn't address what happened, and… somehow none of my parents talked about the topic.
None of them at all, not even Ninhursag or my mom. But I was pretty sure they sensed us when we were talking and all… Yet they have decided to act aloof over it.
I guess they were too moved by Zack and Luck and just decided to let this pass?
"Sylphy, she's not addressing anything at all, I'm getting scared." Zack said, as we were enjoying a bountiful breakfast filled with fruits, bread, butter, cheese, milks, juice, and many other meals.
"W-What's going on?" Luck wondered.
"You guys look like you committed a crime, relax." I shrugged, whispering to them. "Isn't it obvious? They are just pretending to be aloof; they know why you did this and accepted it, they're letting you be."
"E-EH?!" Both were shocked.
"Don't be so loud though!"
As I reprimanded them, mom gave me a glance.
"Sylphy…"
"Y-Yes?"
I thought for a second she was going to reprimand us anyways…
Yet…
"Can you pass me the strawberry jam?" She asked with a gentle smile.
"Eh? Sure…" I gave it to her.
I guess she was indeed just letting us go…
"Why are you guys being so suspicious?" Celeste noticed something was off. "What are you hiding?"
"Hiding? Nothing…" I said while looking elsewhere.
"Eh? I ain't buying that!" Celeste said angrily.
"Calm down, Celeste, don't be so annoying…" Celica said. "Be nicer!"
"E-Eh? To think Celica from all people would say that to me…" Celeste was taken aback.
"Like mister teddy, he's always nice and he gets rewarded for that." Celica nodded.
"Yeah!" Said Zephy, without properly understanding what Celica was even talking about.
Mist and Lara were still wondering what we were talking about too, but they weren't as aggressive when asking like Celica.
"Still, what are you guys plotting?" Mist wondered.
"Something special maybe? Heheh." Lara giggled.
"Err… We can't say anything for now, sorry!" Said Luck.
"Yeah, it's a secret." Said Zack.
"Oooh!" Mist was excited.
"What secret?!" Lara asked.
"It's a secret! I can't just tell you! It wouldn't be one if I did!" Luck was losing his marbles.
"Awww, bummer." Lara shrugged, eating an apple.
While we talked and tried to just move the topic so I could have some time to think about things. I started sketching some ideas in my little notebook.
Luck didn't want a normal accessory for Lara. Apparently, according to what he told me, the horned Anima usually wear beautiful ornaments and accessories over their horns.
This usually happens whenever they're given important titles or when they are engaged or married with someone…
So I guess Luck wants to ask her to be his girlfriend with such a gift, huh?
Gotta makes it extra cute and also not too extravagant, I kind of know Lara's tastes, she's a lighthearted girl that loves flowers, clear colors, and not too many things.
Meanwhile, as for Zack, he wants a dress for Mist. He's worried about her safety, so he wants her to be extra protected. Something nice and cute that is also befitting of her Religion.
Mist was raised by the nuns of the orphanage around the Saint of Illumination Religion. This is an Ancient Saint that lived long ago, said to have ascended into the heavens after realizing the concepts of life, fate, and everything else.
Alice said it was strikingly similar to Buddha from Earth, whoever that is. I don't know if its an actual god at all, but it is someone that did exist at some point.
They taught people to not fight and love themselves, because when they love themselves is when they can finally begin loving others.
"Accept your flaws, accept who you are, and make your own fate."
This is the usual doctrine of this religion. It is also a religion that incentivizes charity without expecting anything in return.
They taught the children to be nice and love themselves, so they can love others. To always share if you have enough, and to walk your own path.
To try to be happy without the restraints of fate.
Honestly, it is a pretty good religion!
So anyways, some dress that goes around this religions clothing would be nicer. Mist usually wears a long black and white nun-like dress.
However, other times she just wears a white dress, or black dress with a white blouse. She doesn't seem to like many other colors.
Maybe because they go well with her pale white skin and hair, and her black horns and eyes.
So!
For Lara, some beautiful yet simplistic ornaments for her horns. And for Mist, a beautiful nun dress, or something similar to that!
Got it…
Now, onto the buffs. Mist wants to have some protection in her simple dress. Maybe adding a mode that summons an armor of light wouldn't be so bad.
Maybe if I can imbue some of the power of my Divine Protection Skill, and copy its functions to an extent, it would be ideal.
And as for Lara… I guess protection against Darkness and Curses, which are her weakness, would be good. Also something to help her manage her Mana better.
And maybe more protection too? Although the Spirits are always protecting her…
Her magic power is also really overpowered, so I don't know if I should prioritize giving her a boost, she's quite the perfect little Saint, isn't she?
Well, she's really clumsy sometimes, so that makes up for it…
She's a good-hearted person, and a good friend too. I want to see her smile, although she's always smiling anyways.
So I guess something for that will have to do. Something that can protect her from Hexes, Curses, and Status Ailments would be nice.
Also something to protect her from Corruption-type Elements she's not good against, like Miasma, Chaos, Death, Poison…
Yeah, things like that.
I also want Mist's dress to help her handle her Mana more easily, and also to be able to help her conjure a secondary protection aside from the armor of light.
Maybe arrows that rotate around her body?
