To become a king and a magician

"W-Is it okay?!"

Grey couldn't help but show a hint of joy. The ocean was a somewhat unfamiliar word to her. Although she had heard about the ocean through various books and even television, and had seen it from the air when she flew, Grey had never been to the beach.

Going to the beach would be a very happy thing for her.

"But aren't they going to recycle class cards? Would it be inappropriate to go there to play?"

“It’s alright. The digging work will take at least two months, so there’s nothing to do before then. Besides, it’s already summer, so it’s good to go to the beach.” Rin Tohsaka said with a smile. “Miyu, you should come too. Actually, Luvia and I were planning to do that anyway.”

"I see."

Miyu nodded.

Putting down his fork, Natsukawa Tiger wiped his mouth: "Then let's go to the mall later. Besides the swimsuit, we also need to prepare some summer clothes for Grey. We can't expect her to wear this big cloak in the summer, can we?"

"I think it's okay this way..."

That won't do!

The ruby ​​that had been hidden in Grey's hair suddenly cried out!

[Grey Tan! It seems you have a huge misunderstanding about your own charm! I can guarantee that with just a little dressing up, you'll transform into a super beautiful girl who can outshine those two magical old ladies over there, and completely bewitch this blockhead brother—]

Clang!

boom!

Click!

Before Ruby could finish speaking, a trash can suddenly flew over and covered her. Then, Rin Tohsaka and Luvia each kicked her from the front and back, kicking Ruby and the trash can out of the restaurant!

Looks like I'll have to buy a few more trash cans.

"Wouldn't it be better to order custom-made ones? Plastic ones break easily, how about ordering a few made of metal?"

"The Edfeldt family has trustworthy craftsmen."

Seeing the three of them suddenly connect on a deeper level, Miyu, Gray, and Sapphire all chuckled awkwardly.

(Ruby, you really are...)

(He actually said that while laughing...)

(Sister, you've been scolded so many times, why can't you learn your lesson?)

29. Clothes make the man, and a saddle makes the horse.

Inside a large shopping mall in Fuyuki City, Shinto.

"Shh-!"

He pulled back the curtain, and Natsukawa Torato emerged from the fitting room dressed in a rather neat men's casual outfit. After turning slightly in front of the mirror, he looked at Rin Tohsaka and the others: "Not bad, quite comfortable to wear—what are you all standing there for?"

"No... um... could you please go back to the fitting room first?"

For some reason, Rin Tohsaka abruptly covered her face and turned her head away, her voice trembling slightly.

And it wasn't just her; Luvia had the same reaction.

Xia Chuanhu frowned in confusion: "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell? Would you like to sit down for a while?"

"No need, no need. Just go back to the fitting room first, and come out when we call you!"

"No, that's right! That's exactly it!"

Seeing the two people acting strangely, Xia Chuanhu's doubts intensified, but since they both said that he just needed to go back to the fitting room, he might as well do that.

Once Natsukawa Tora had disappeared from sight again, Rin Tohsaka and Luvia breathed a sigh of relief as if they had survived a disaster, and leaned against the wall as if they had collapsed.

"A miscalculation, a complete miscalculation."

"Yes, it was indeed a miscalculation. I didn't expect..."

The group came to the mall to prepare swimsuits and summer clothes for Grey and Natsukawa. After leaving Grey and Miyu in the children's section to choose swimsuits, the three adults came to the men's section to choose clothes for Natsukawa.

Although Natsukawa Torama himself doesn't care much about what clothes he wears, Rin Tohsaka and Luvia felt that it would be too much for Natsukawa Torama to just pick out some unfashionable clothes, so they picked out several outfits for him to try on.

The one that Xia Chuanhu was wearing just now was the first set.

But to their surprise...

"I never expected that guy to look so handsome after dressing up so carefully!"

Rin Tohsaka was certain that she was not a looks-obsessed person who only cared about appearances. Although she would look at handsome men differently, she would never lose her composure like this. Luvia was the same way. But even these two people couldn't help but hold their breath the moment they saw Natsukawa Tora come out.

If the maximum score is 100, Natsukawa Tora, who usually doesn't care about his outfits, would get 80 points, while Natsukawa Tora, who is now dressing seriously, would get 200 points!

That's just outrageous!

"Wouldn't that cause a commotion? If we just let him walk out like that..."

"As long as he doesn't speak, his looks and demeanor are comparable to a seductive magician. I only chose a refreshing outfit for him, but I didn't expect it to be so effective."

Luvia rubbed her forehead, then looked at Rin Tohsaka and the few remaining clothes in her hand, and asked hesitantly, "Should we let him try these on?"

"To be honest, I really want to."

But despite her thoughts, Rin Tohsaka felt that if she looked at Natsukawa Tora a few more times like that, she might not be able to handle the stimulation and impact.

She's clearly not someone who's picky about looks! She's clearly not someone who's picky about looks!

"Rin Tohsaka, Luvia, can I come out now?" Natsukawa Torama's voice suddenly came from the fitting room. "Grey texted me saying she's chosen her swimsuit, and I want to go pick her up first."

"Wait a minute! Don't come out yet!"

Seeing Natsukawa Torato's hand reappear on the curtain, Tohsaka Rin quickly shouted to stop him, but it was too late—

The curtain was pulled open again, and Natsukawa Tora's figure reappeared before the two of them.

......

A few minutes later.

[Oh dear? What's going on with these two embarrassing ladies? It looks like they've been hit on the head pretty hard.]

Seeing Rin Tohsaka and Luvia slumped in their chairs, Ruby, as always, jumped onto their faces and started mocking them.

"Ruby, don't come out, someone will see you." Gray quickly grabbed Ruby and stuffed her back into the bag. "Brother, what's wrong with Tohsaka and the others...?"

"Who knows?"

Xia Chuanhu shrugged.

"After I changed into these clothes and came out, the two of them collapsed. Was it because it was too hot inside?"

Isn't this your own problem?

Yad chuckled sinisterly.

Well, it's understandable that they didn't react since you don't usually pay much attention to your outfits, but seeing you all dressed up now is bound to make them shocked—you're starting to look more and more like that guy!

"This kind of outfit?"

It was only after Yad's reminder that Grey noticed the changes in Natsukawa Tora.

Because they spend every day together, Gray usually wouldn't notice unless there was a significant change. The same was true now; Natsukawa Tiger had simply changed his clothes. But even with such a simple change, Gray's cheeks flushed red after she looked at him intently for a second.

"Hmm...I...I think I can understand my two older sisters now..."

"Is it really necessary for you to react so strongly just because I changed my clothes?" Xia Chuanhu was completely baffled. He usually dressed like this, and they never reacted like this.

[Charm! It's a matter of charisma! Dude, do you really have absolutely no idea?]

"Yard, keep your voice down." Grey shook the birdcage, then went to Natsukawa Torato's side and whispered, "Brother, if possible... please don't wear this kind of outfit in public again, okay?"

"Huh? Why?"

"Because...because...that...this outfit doesn't suit you at all! It makes you look like you're not my brother!"

whispering sound!

Whether it was her imagination or not, Grey could clearly hear a cold snort coming from around her, and at the same time, a large number of icy gazes were cast upon her—from the women around her who were secretly watching them.

Hearing Gray say that, Natsukawa Torama was silent for a moment, then smiled and patted her hair: "Well, since you say so, then I won't wear it—stop pretending to be dead, Luvia, Rin Tohsaka, go and return this outfit to me."

"Huh? Why?!"

Upon hearing this, the two of them immediately jumped up!

"It's really good-looking!"

"Do you mean you want to wear something even better?"

"No, what's wrong with you two today? You've been acting really strange ever since I changed my clothes. Are you out of your minds?"

It's all because of you!

Natsukawa Tora glared at the two of them, annoyed. "Grey just said I don't look good in this. I trust Grey's taste. If she says it doesn't look good, then it probably really doesn't suit me. Rather than buying it and letting it gather dust in the closet, I might as well return it."

(Grey!)

In that instant, Gray felt a bone-chilling cold coming from all directions! Even Rin Tohsaka and Luvia, who were right next to her, looked at her with a change in expression, which frightened her so much that she quickly hid behind Natsukawa Torato!

Meanwhile, watching this series of strange events unfold, Miyu asked Sapphire with some curiosity, "Sapphire, what are they doing?"

[I don't think Miyu-sama needs to know this. More importantly, have you bought a suitable swimsuit?]

"Ah."

30. Swimsuit Merry – No

Natsukawa Torato had no idea what Meryl was thinking.

He remembered that he had just lain down on the bed half a minute ago, and after only closing his eyes for a short while, he found himself once again in this familiar sea of ​​flowers when he opened them again.

This has happened frequently over the past month; often, as soon as he falls asleep, Meryl pulls him over, at any unpredictable time.

Good evening!

A soft voice sounded in his ear, as if someone were whispering in Xia Chuanhu's ear, startling him so much that he immediately covered his ears and jumped back a short distance! He then looked behind him—

"Don't scare me, Mary."

"Huh? You got scared just like that? You know perfectly well that it's just the two of us here."
