The story of the black silk female knight

Valensa quickly gave a coquettish smile;

"Don't worry, I'll make it up to you... For example, starting today, I'll wear your designs and freely showcase my charm, help you promote your work, and bring you more beautiful and wealthy new clients?"

"Hmph, that's more like it... You really know how to please people."

Ms. Diana then smiled, opened her small storage pouch, and took out a long, rectangular wooden box:

"Here, I've saved you 20 pairs of premium black pantyhose. They're the same as the white pantyhose on Tia's legs. They're all anti-friction and anti-snag, warm in winter and cool in summer, highly absorbent, and have a light fragrance."

One thing to note is that these black pantyhose should never be washed with other clothes, and it's best not to use natural river or lake water. They should be washed with pure water generated from water-based magic crystals.

"Yeah, I got it."

Valensa nodded, opened the wooden box for a quick inspection, then closed the lid again and put it away.

“Then we won’t disturb your work any longer, Ms. Diana.”

Seeing this, Tia took out her wallet, ready to pay:

"Are black pantyhose the same price as my white ones? Valencia's 30% off?"

"Hold on."

Valensa stopped Tia, giving her a slightly embarrassed smile:

"Um... I have something else I'd like to ask Ms. Dinah for help with. Tia, could you wait a moment before we settle the bill together?"

"Oh?"

Tia raised an eyebrow and said in a coquettish tone, "I'm annoyed."

"You've taken a fancy to another of Ms. Diana's designs? Was it that lingerie set from earlier? That one... isn't it a bit inappropriate for us right now?"

"How could that be? I think you would look great in it, Tia!"

Valensa immediately retorted, then waved her hands repeatedly:

"No, no... I don't want to buy that lingerie set, I have something else to do."

After she finished speaking, she turned to look at Ms. Diana:

"Actually, this idea came to me after witnessing your skills just now... I wonder if you could repair a torn piece of clothing?"

"Repairing clothes?"

Ms. Diana's expression immediately turned somewhat displeased:

"Why would you need to ask me for such a simple job? You could have just found any tailor shop."

“Because these aren’t ordinary clothes, most tailors simply can’t fix them, but if it’s Ms. Diana, you might be able to,” Valensa quickly explained.

"Hmph, you should remove the word 'maybe'."

Ms. Diana's curiosity and competitive spirit were immediately piqued:

"Let me see the clothes... If you dare to just throw some ordinary clothes at me, you can forget about getting a discount from me again."

"Don't worry, this clothing is definitely not ordinary... At least with the strength of a Pearl-level knight, it would be difficult to tear it open by brute force. In the end, I only managed to destroy it by relying on the sharpness of the Dragon Fang."

Valensa rummaged through her storage bag for a moment before pulling out a few pieces of cloth that looked unusual.

"Isn't this... the anti-demon ninja uniform of the youngest daughter of the Chiba family?"

While Ms. Diana was still examining the pieces of cloth, Tia had already recognized where they came from, and immediately pinched Valensa's waist in a huff:

"You shameless idiot, why do you carry other women's shredded clothes with you? What bad things have you been doing behind my back? And now you're even using my money to repair other women's clothes?"

"Oh, Tia, you've misunderstood!"

Valensa first stole a glance at Ms. Dinah, and seeing that she was still studying the pieces of fabric, she quickly hugged Tia and stole a kiss, making Tia blush before hurriedly explaining:

"It was for her treatment, Dr. Karen can testify. I couldn't take off this kind of anti-demon ninja uniform and I couldn't tear it, so I could only use the Dragon Fang Short Sword to destroy it."

"……real?"

This time, although Tia still rolled her eyes at Valensa, she clearly no longer had any doubts:

"That's true... You wouldn't stoop to making a move on a skinny little girl like that... But why did you suddenly want to repair this dress? Are you trying to mend your relationship with her and win her favor?"

"Uh... more or less, after all, it's always better to have one more friend than one more enemy."

Valensa did not deny it:

"Besides, this dress was a gift from her sister, so it seems to have a lot of sentimental value. I don't care what kind of punishment I use for that brat, but I feel a little guilty about ruining such an important family gift, and I want to try to make amends."

"understood."

Tia nodded:

"You've always been a sentimental person, and you care a lot about these things that have sentimental value... Hmph, I'll help you out."

After she finished speaking, she also looked at Ms. Diana:

"So, can this clothing be repaired?"

"...It would be very difficult to restore it to its original state."

Ms. Diana remained silent for a moment before answering with a hint of helplessness and resentment:

"The material of this anti-demonic ninja uniform is very special. It should be a specialty of the Four Islands Alliance, which I have never encountered before. In addition, this uniform was damaged by sharp dragon fangs. Even if it is repaired, it will inevitably leave unsightly marks."

"Is that really the case?"

Valensa gave a wry smile.

She had previously consulted several classmates in the Logistics Department who were skilled in tailoring, and the answers she received were similar.

"But it's not entirely hopeless."

At this moment, Ms. Diana changed the subject, a smug smile appearing on her face:

"While I can't restore this dress to its original state, I can redesign and modify it to better highlight feminine charm! What do you think?"

"Will this... be very troublesome?" Valensa asked hesitantly.

"It's so-so. The main thing is that the design requires inspiration. If you have inspiration, you can finish it quickly."

Ms. Diana then rested her chin on her hand and thought for a while:

"Ten days, give me ten days, I'm sure I can handle it."

“Well… alright, then I’ll leave it to Ms. Diana.”

Chapter 90: Using Magic Cards to Do Bad Things?

After leaving Ms. Dinah's shop, Valensa, led by Tia, visited a famous alchemist in the capital to order a large-capacity storage device.

The master readily agreed and offered a fair price. The only drawback was that the master currently had many orders on hand, and Valensa and her team would have to wait in line, with an estimated wait of six months to receive their goods.

The clients who placed orders with the master craftsman were mostly nobles, and two of them were even members of the French royal family. It was practically impossible for them to cut in line.

While there is more than one alchemy master capable of creating large-capacity storage items, masters of this caliber are usually busy, and there would inevitably be a waiting list no matter who you contact. It would be better to place an order with this master who has a good relationship with the Britannia family.

The kind of spatial storage device that can accommodate technological vehicles won't be available for another six months, so Valensa had to beg Tia to buy her some smaller spatial storage devices for her to use in her transaction with Vi.

After finishing all that, almost the entire day had passed, and it was nearly dusk.

Valensa wanted to meet with Melina and then visit the Church of the Sun again.

Tia hadn't been home for quite a while, so she planned to go home tonight to spend time with her parents and then go straight to school tomorrow morning.

The two agreed to visit the Dream Witch together after class the next afternoon and prepared to split up.

"and many more!"

However, Valensa hadn't taken more than a few steps when she ran back even faster, caught up with the carriage, and jumped to Tia's side.

"What's wrong? Did you forget something here?"

Tia smiled and glanced at Valensa, then took out her wallet:

"Or are you planning a date with Melina but don't have enough gold coins? Tell me, how many do you need?"

"I still have enough money to treat Melina to a meal!"

Valensa waved her hand, then hooked a lock of hair with her finger and smiled.

"However, I do want to borrow something from you, Tia."

"what?"

Tia put down her wallet and raised an eyebrow slightly:

"And why didn't you say so earlier?"

"I just suddenly thought of it too~~"

Valensa shrugged and simply extended her hand:

"When you used the Secret Technique: Fate of Encounter last time, do you still have those magic cards that allow you to share feelings? If so, give me two; I need to use them later."

"...Yes, I do have some, but what do you need it for?"

Tia didn't refuse Valensa, and quickly pulled out two purple cards, but her tone was strange, and her crimson eyes were full of embarrassment and annoyance as she glared at Valensa:

"You're not planning to use this to do something shameless with Melina, are you? Sharing feelings on a date and having double the fun?"

"Wow, Tia, you know a lot!"

Valensa quickly took the card, grinning mischievously and winking:

"That's a good idea... After you finish your New Year's gifts, Tia, we can give it a try~~"

"Who wants to try it with you! You shameless idiot!"

Tia immediately became embarrassed and angry, raising her white-stockinged little foot high as if she wanted to kick Valensa off the carriage.

However, her small white-stockinged foot dangled in mid-air several times before finally failing to kick out.

"Tell me quickly, are you planning to use my magic cards to do something bad?"

Tia seemed to be using her white-stockinged feet as a Damocles' sword, waving them in front of Valensa's face as a threat:

"If so, give it back to me right now! Humph!"

"Don't worry, at least this time it's definitely something serious~~"

Valensa grabbed the white-stockinged little feet dangling in front of her and rubbed them against her face:

"Didn't we talk about Thousand Leaf Grass when we were with Ms. Diana today? Although I managed to temporarily control her using the method you suggested last time, she certainly won't let it go easily."

According to the War Academy's usual practice, the ranking battles will start about a month and a half after the new school year begins, so there aren't many days left.

I'm sure Chiba will be eager to challenge me once the ranked battles begin, but I don't yet have a good way to break the Leaf Concealment Technique.

But just now, I had a sudden inspiration and came up with an idea with a high success rate, it just requires a magic card like Tia's.

"Using shared sense cards to counter the Leaf Concealment Technique?"

Tia frowned slightly in confusion, touched her lower lip with her hooked index finger and pondered for a moment before a glint of light flashed in her crimson eyes:

"You don't happen to know someone who can break the Leaf Concealment Technique, and you want to quickly learn their skills through sensory sharing, do you?"

"Hehe, that's about right. As expected of Tia, she's so smart~~"

Bah.

Valensa stole another kiss from Tia, and before Tia could blush and kick her, she jumped out of the moving carriage:

That's all for now, see you tomorrow!

"...This idiot... Humph."

. . . . .

When they were in Sergintown, Melina was the supervisor, and she had to take charge of many things herself, so she often had to work overtime in the Adventurers' Guild office.

But Wang Du is different. She's just a junior employee. Once she finishes her work, she can leave on time.

"Sister Melina~~"

Valensa had changed out of her knight's armor and war academy uniform beforehand, and was only dressed in casual clothes. As soon as they met, she hugged her personal maid and rubbed against her, showing no signs of being a young lady.

Melina smiled indulgently at this, then tugged at Valensa's ear and lectured her on manners in public.

"What does it matter?"
