Necromancer Survival

found my situation a bit pitiful, “Lee-kyung-ie… You used to sell fans on Market Raid.
You couldn’t afford to buy clothes.”

     “What fans?”

     “You know, the… things that drop when you defeat Orcs.
Don’t you remember?”

     “Or…c?”

     Woo Ragi, tearing a box with his echo blades behind us, raised his eyebrows.
“Those things sell?”

     “He was working hard to sell them…”

     “You would have been better off grinding.” 1

     “Shut up!”

     “Every time I hit the nail on the head, he tells me to shut up.”

     I shouted angrily at Woo Ragi’s scornful words, and the Swordsman subsequently brushed me off.
Meanwhile, Kim Olim succeeded in putting the sneakers on my feet and tied the shoelaces.
Then, she took my hand and made me stand.
“Try walking around.”

     “Hey! You guys… Am I a kid or something?”

     “Your feet don’t hurt?”

     “…No it…doesn’t.
Actually, that’s not important–you guys are really going overboard.”

     Woo Ragi laughed and made sarcastic remarks at my flushed face.
“If you’re ugly, you should at least wear nice clothes.”

     “It’ll be winter, so it’s a good thing to buy new outfits in advance.” In the end, with Seo Dawon’s statement, I was forced to sit down on the sofa again.

     ‘Honestly, why did they buy things for me while pretending to shop for themselves?’

     Honestly, I didn’t think it would feel this weird if they had bought stuff for themselves.
Fortunately, at least in Woo Ragi’s or Jung Garam’s case, it didn’t seem like they were solely buying useless items for the sake of giving me a hard time.

     In particular, Woo Ragi, that bastard, was completely absorbed in hanging a new pretty butterfly decoration on his sword.
When I saw him working so hard at attaching that ornament, I thought, ‘So guys like him have their own quirks and desires huh?’ Of course, when he felt my gaze, I felt his expression turn into a discontent glare.

     And, Garam was…

     “Choi Lee-kyung! If I put this here, it’ll look good, right?”

     He had hung fairy lights, shiny bulbs hanging on a wire, on the art wall in the center of the living room.

     Though it was pretty, the lights didn’t fit with the current modern interior.
However, after seeing Lackey open its mouth with awe at the lightbulbs, I simply nodded.
The skeleton leaped a few times, trying to grab the shining lightbulbs hanging high in the air before sitting down at its feet and staring at the light endlessly.

     “Hehehe~” Though Choi Kyung-sik seemed quiet, it turned out that most of the boxes that arrived today were his items.
He hummed, throwing bags of suspicious powder into his inventory, one by one.

     “What did Choi Kyung-sik-ssi buy?”

     “Ingredients for Golems.
I need at least one right now.”

     …Didn’t it cost tens of billions to make one golem?

     Choi Kyung-sik sighed regretfully, “Well, it was hard to choose its final form, but… I think I can make something usable out of all this.” Then, after pushing a mountain of boxes to one side of the living room, he went straight to the second floor.

     Afterwards, we cleaned up all the trash left behind; Seo Dawon filled my empty closet.
Now, even Kim Olim was absorbed in applying an abradant–polishing paste–to her shield.

     So, after a long while, I quietly returned to my bedroom by myself.
The bedroom was slightly messy, but I was more bothered by my new clothes hanging in the now half-open closet.

     At that moment, Seo Dawon, who had left my side for a while, suddenly entered the bedroom as well.
He glided inside, glanced at the open closet, and looked back at me–laughter on his lips.
“You don’t like it?”

     “No… It’s not that.” Resigned, I sighed and stared back.

     Honestly, expensive clothes like those deserved to be worn on a proper clothes hanger, right? For example…someone like Seo Dawon, who was walking over here in long strides.
I then thought about what he would look like in casual clothes.

     ‘Comfortable clothes would look good on him also, right?’

     First of all, he was tall; he had long legs and wide shoulders that would be the envy of any man… Then, I imagined what would happen if the Mage’s clothes flowed off him like water….and then quickly shook my head.
Am I going crazy?

     “Are you going to sleep?” he asked.

     “W-Who knows…”

     Of course, Seo Dawon, who couldn’t possibly know my thoughts, calmly approached my bed.
I laid down with my back turned towards him and tried to dispel my own delusions.

     However, just then, a translucent system message popped up before my eyes like the devil’s whisper.

 

[Do you want to change your Servant’s outfit?]

[If you choose the ‘Take off the top’ option, your choice will be applied to the Servant’s appearance.]

 

     “W…What?!!” My body sprang up automatically, like a spring.

 

 

 

TL: O.O

I see.
We’re playing dress-up doll now.
