Arifureta Shokugyou de Sekai Saikyou (LN) - Volume 5 - Chapter SS4

Rabbitman Costumes are a Dangerous Weapon 

Hajime and his party had stopped in a small town for the night. Despite the town’s relatively small size, there were a surprisingly large amount of people there. The girls all looked around happily. 
“So, this is the town famous for its textiles. Everyone’s clothes look really well made.” 
“Mhmm. The weavers here are very skilled.” 
Yue’s crimson eyes darted from person to person. She was impressed by the quality of the cloth she saw. Back in the abyss she had sewed clothes for herself and Hajime. At first, it had taken a lot of effort to make even the simplest of garments, but she’d improved a lot since then. Sewing had become something of a hobby for her. Hence why she was so excited by all the rolls of colorful yarn that she saw, and the skilled weavers who knitted with them. 
Shea and Kaori were quite excited as well. Shea was a master of all household chores, so of course clothes and sewing excited her, while Kaori was a high school girl with an interest in fashion. While the others were fascinated by the town, the town was fascinated by Tio. Her exquisitely crafted dress was a traditional garment for dragonwomen, but it was rare to see something like it outside her village. 
“Daddy, look at all the different clothes! I’ve never seen those kinds before!” 
“Really? ...Come to think of it, what do Dagons usually wear anyway?” 
Young though she may be, Myu was still a girl. She was just as interested in clothes as the others. Hajime looked up to the little girl riding on his shoulder. She tilted her head and thought for a moment. 
“Nothing, usually!” 
“You guys are nudists!?” 
Hajime noticed the cold stares from the girls and quickly cleared his throat. In truth, Dagons usually wore some form of swimsuit, as they spent most of their lives in the water. When they were on land, they put on a robe or something over that, but that was about it. 
Hajime could see the other girls were about to mention that they would strip for him if that was what he wanted. He really didn’t want to have that conversation so he turned to Myu for salvation. 
“Is there anything you want, Myu? Since we’re already here, I can buy you some new clothes if you want.” 
“I can buy anything!? Ummmm ummm...” 
Eyes sparkling, Myu looked for something to get. Hajime really did spoil her. Yue and the others stared pointedly at him. Hajime smiled, and agreed to buy them whatever they wanted too. After a few seconds of searching, Myu found what she wanted. She stared long and hard at a certain article of clothing. Specifically, what Yue was wearing. 
“Hm? What’s wrong, Myu?” 
Myu pointed at Yue and said, 
“I want what Yue-oneechan is wearing! I want to wear something like that too!” 
“You want my clothes? But Myu, there’s so many other cuter outfits here.” 
Yue’s dress had frills everywhere and was plenty cute. But she’d designed it for travel and combat, so it wasn’t the most elegant piece. However, Myu had seemingly taken a liking to it. 
“But you’re the coolest, Yue-oneechan! You look really cool when you’re fighting with Daddy and using magic and stuff! Even though I’m daddy’s daughter, I’m really weak. But maybe if I wear your dress I’ll get stronger too!” 
“Myu, you’re so pure it hurts.” 
Myu’s statement had been so cute that it gave Yue a nosebleed. Yue plucked Myu off of Hajime’s shoulder and squished her soft cheeks. Myu squealed in protest but Yue ignored her. 
“M-Myu-chan, don’t you think I look cool too? I can take out anyone with a single swing of my hammer! Enemies cower before me!” 
“Myu-chan, I’m really good at holding enemies back! Here, let me show you my Binding Blades of Light!” 
“In that case, allow me to show you the power of my breath. You’ve yet to see just how amazing I am, correct? My glorious breath will leave you astounded.” 
Everyone tried to impress the party’s little princess. Myu squirmed her way out of Yue’s grip and turned around. 
“You’re not…cool, Shea-oneechan. You’re, umm... wild?” 
Shea clutched her chest and fell to the ground with a moan. There was nothing more heartbreaking than being told you’re not cool by a little girl. 
“And Kaori-oneechan’s... weak...” 

Kaori clutched her chest and fell to the ground with a moan. There was nothing more heartbreaking than being told you’re a pathetic weakling by a little girl. 
“And Tio-oneechan... y-you’re okay!” 
“What on earth is that supposed to mean!?” Tio retorted and fell to the ground. There was nothing more heartbreaking than being pitied by a little girl. 
Three girls lay on the ground in the middle of the town’s main street. They looked up simultaneously when they heard footsteps approaching them. Yue was standing over them, grinning from ear to ear. Rarely did she ever show such expressiveness. 
Shea and the others slowly got to their feet, a murderous glint in their eyes. They had always known she would be the final boss. 
Thinking it was her fault that her role models were fighting, Myu hurriedly stepped between them. 
“U-Umm, you all have really cool clothes too, Shea-oneechan, Kaori-oneechan, Tio-oneechan! So umm... I know! Let’s all trade clothes! That way we’ll all be able to wear everyone’s clothes! It’ll be fun!” 
The four women looked at each other and smiled awkwardly. Their petty rivalry had caused a little girl to worry about them. Hajime smiled, proud of his daughter’s attempts to mediate. Then he grinned wickedly and turned to Yue. 
“How about it, why not give Myu’s proposal a go? You can all draw lots at random and wear whoever’s outfit you pull. We’re in a town of tailors, so they’ll be able to make them in your sizes easily.” 
Myu looked up at the girls expectantly. There was no refusing her. Yue and the others quickly agreed to Myu’s idea. With a great deal of money and coercion, Hajime convinced a nearby tailor to make the girls’ outfits right away. Once he was finished, the girls went into the fitting rooms to change. As the store they were in was a large one, there were plenty of other customers around. Hajime stood in front of the changing rooms, waiting to see who came out first. 
“Daddy, look, look! I’m Yue-oneechan!” 
It turned out to be Myu. She was wearing Yue’s clothes. A frilly shirt, a black skirt, a white coat, and ankle boots. Hajime had to admit she looked cute. She flapped her arms, which were too short for the coat, and struck the same pose Yue did when she was casting magic. 
“Oh, it looks pretty good on you Myu. You look more like an adult now.” 
Myu grinned and blushed. 
“Myu, don’t open the door while other people are still changing.” 
Yue stepped out of the same fitting room. She’d gone in with Myu to help her change. Hajime muttered a soft “Wow...” as he saw Yue’s outfit. He wasn’t the only one either. The other customers and even the tailor who ran the store were impressed. Yue was wearing Tio’s kimono. The dragonwoman’s kimono was an eclectic mixture of western and Japanese styles. Yue looked like a refined, elegant lady in it. 
“Th-This is my first time wearing such an outfit... I must say it’s rather embarrassing.” 
“Your clothes are so frilly, Kaori-san! There’s so much cloth it’s hard to move around in them.” 
Next were Tio and Shea. Tio was wearing Myu’s one piece. It was white, and adorned with multiple ribbons and frills. Tio blushed as she looked down at herself. It’s rare to see that perverted dragon ever embarrassed about anything. Still, she looks cute in that. Hajime said as much to Tio, which caused her to blush even more furiously and hide behind a clothing rack. The male customers all got nosebleeds watching her. 
Meanwhile, Shea was in Kaori’s priestess’ clothes. She found the overabundance of cloth uncomfortable, but the outfit accented her figure nicely. Hajime had to admit she looked beautiful in it. The only person left was Kaori. However, even after a few minutes she didn’t come out. 
“Hm? She’s still not coming out.” 
“Hmm. Wait here, I’ll drag her out.” 
Yue smiled mischievously and barged into Kaori’s changing room. There were a few loud thumps, and Kaori screemed shrilly, “I can’t do it! I can’t wear Shea’s clothes! They’re practically underwear!” 
“Don’t worry about it,” was Yue’s reply. 
Then, after a moment of silence, the door to Kaori’s changing room flew open and and Kaori was thrown out into the wild. 
“Ugh, this is soooo embarrassing. Hajime-kun, please don’t stare at me too much...” 
Kaori tried to cover herself up with her hands as she blushed to the tips of her ears. Rabbitman clothing was quite revealing, and Kaori’s slender legs and ample cleavage were on full display. Hajime normally didn’t notice the outfit since Shea didn’t seem to care about how much of her skin she exposed. However, Kaori’s embarrassment emphasized just how revealing it was. Quite a few of the customers fainted from blood loss after seeing how sexy she looked. The store became a sea of blood as Yue and the others swapped outfits again and again. 
Shea’s outfit looked smoking hot on anyone who wore it, and before long the customers were drowning in their own nosebleeds. Hajime made a mental note to slaughter all the men who’d gotten nosebleeds looking at Myu in Shea’s outfit later. Once the outfit swapping was over, Hajime gave his closing remarks. 
“Yeah, I guess Shea’s clothes really are sexy.” 
Traditional clothing or not, it was rather revealing. And so, Hajime reconfirmed what he’d always known, but had forgotten.
