"Here."
Erza, covered in blood and with several wounds, received a bottle of red potion thrown by Newton.
"Thanks."
Erza looked around the scene, reminiscent of a horrific attack, relieved to find no bodies of villagers.
"I had a pack of wolves come over, but I dealt with them. Since it's almost lunchtime, I thought I'd let the villagers prepare some wolf meat."
Newton lit a cigarette.
"Is everything alright on your end?"
"Yes, there were quite a few, but they weren't very strong. Once I took down the leader, there was no trouble left."
Erza frowned slightly, casting a disdainful glance at Newton's cigarette.
Newton shrugged and tossed the cigarette away.
Seeing his action, Erza nodded in satisfaction.
The taste of the wolf meat was decent; it was just a bit tough. It cooked better than it grilled, and Newton sprinkled a generous amount of chili on top.
After finishing their meal and ensuring the mission was complete, Newton and Erza began their journey back. On the way, they stopped by the headquarters of Hear Kreuz.
"Ma'am, we really can't make armor for you."
A gentle yet slightly helpless baritone voice echoed as Newton gazed at the handsome figure before him, thinking to himself, well, if he were to become a singer, he would probably be quite famous.
"Make me armor."
Erza was as unyielding and stubborn as her armor, showing no signs of being swayed.
Newton sighed and flipped through a booklet in his hands.
Hear Kreuz was a store specializing in fashionable women's clothing, not just ready-to-wear but also offering custom designs. The booklet Newton held contained various designs that could be directly customized, or customers could draw their own sketches for Hear Kreuz to create.
Having finally ventured out, Newton felt he should buy a dress for Miraj. As for Miraj's figure, well, she was about the same height as him, and her physique... Thinking of Miraj's vertical lines, Newton couldn't help but sigh; it would be easy enough to find her something nice.
"Excuse me, could I have some paper and a pen?"
Newton set the booklet aside and addressed the server in front of him.
"Sure, I'll get that for you right away."
The server quickly brought over the paper and pen. Compared to another customer on the other side, this server felt fortunate to be attending to such a pleasant guest, unlike the lady who was absurdly buying armor in a clothing store.
Newton twirled the pen thoughtfully, recalling the styles he had seen in his previous life. Soon enough, a pure white floral dress appeared on the paper.
"Just like this."
He handed over the paper. It wasn't exactly top-tier design work, but what mattered most was that it was his own handiwork.
Of course, Newton didn't intend to neglect anyone else; he also bought a few outfits for Elfman and Lisanna from the ready-to-wear section.
"Boom!"
"Huh?"
Newton was taken aback, unsure of what had just happened. He was merely here to buy a few pieces of clothing, and thinking about the style of Fairy Tail, he didn't mind it at all.
"Damn it, you really came here to cause trouble, didn't you? Where are the guards? Guards!"
The man could no longer maintain his refined demeanor; he was completely furious. At first, when he saw Newton and Erza approaching, he thought they were customers. Who would have guessed that the moment they opened their mouths, they were asking for armor? This was outrageous! He could barely handle the situation himself, and now magic was involved. It felt like a disruption, while that boy was just here to buy clothes. The two of them coming together was an entirely different concept.
"Excuse me, could you please control your companion?" the man shouted at Newton.
"From now on, you'll get a twenty percent discount on your purchases here!"
"But if you don't make her armor, I have no choice," Newton shrugged. A twenty percent discount was nothing compared to trying to rein in a stubborn bull.
"You guys, I'm going to report you!"
The man was furious and immediately sent someone to find the guards.
"My lord."
However, when the man learned of Newton's identity, his entire demeanor changed.
"Sir, you are Lord Newton, aren't you?"
The man's expression changed quickly, his face turning bitter.
"Armor."
Erza still couldn't forget her armor.
"Let's do it."
The man was completely helpless. The common people should not fight against the officials. No matter how famous or wealthy his Hear Kreuz was, no matter how powerful Newton was, the man still yielded.
"It's just that our armor isn't very proficient, so in terms of performance..."
The man stared intently at Newton.
"Do you support technology investment here?"
Newton naturally understood what the other party wanted.
"I will share some of my research results with you, but in return, I want to become your shareholder. How does that sound?"
"Absolutely!"
The man's eyes sparkled with excitement. Yes, excitement—Alchemy's reputation for turning stone into gold was indeed formidable. Newton was most famous for his Alchemy skills: red potions, blue potions, various special elixirs, and the mass production of ironware—all of this validated the man's abilities. If he could gain the support of this individual for his shop, he was confident it would advance significantly.
"Then... Erza, how about we stay here a little longer?"
On one hand, Newton was preparing to wait for the outfit he designed to be completed, while on the other hand, he was also considering what skills he had that could contribute to the fashion industry.
"Sure."
Erza nodded, eager to see what armor was available in the shop.
"However, I hope you can make me a set of armor first."
The man nodded at Erza's request. He understood her intentions; she wasn't looking to acquire any high-quality armor from him but was interested in the design styles he offered. Setting aside other considerations, crafting such a piece of armor would be quite simple.
"Alright, I also need to wait for my outfit to be finished."
As a result, Hear Kreuz immediately began working at full capacity to create Newton's outfit and Erza's armor. In just one afternoon, both were completed, but there was a slight issue with Erza's armor.
"What type of armor do you want to create?" Newton asked Erza.
"Um, something that can enhance my strength?"
The armor was quite bulky, and Newton stared at it in disbelief; it resembled a tank more than anything else.
"Do you really think this thing is suitable for a girl to wear?"
Newton covered his face; the idea of Erza wearing such armor felt completely off.
"No problem!"
However, to Newton's surprise, Erza was quite satisfied with the armor.
"Alright then."
Seeing her content expression, Newton sighed helplessly and began to enchant the armor, enhancing its lightness and impact resistance. Essentially, he was crafting it to be as sturdy as a tank.
"Very impressive!"
Wearing such an outfit, Erza resembled a formidable warrior. Just imagining being struck by her made Newton shudder.
"Well then, thank you, Boss."
Newton said politely to the man while holding the package.
"You're welcome. It was a pleasure working together."
"A pleasure working together."
