With the new purchases safely in my storage ring, the pair of us returned to the house. At this point, most of the other girls had woken up. Only Shao remained in bed and needed to be encouraged to get up. As it turned out, the promise of a kiss was all she needed to get moving.
“Now remember, while we have a large supply of fairy dust, it won’t last forever. Try to be as careful with it as possible.”
Compared to the vial I found in Karr’s Dungeon that one time, we now have about ten vials worth in all, and the fairy fountain produced more every day. I still wasn’t completely sure what fairy dust was. I knew that it could be produced when a fairy was really happy. I also knew that it acted as an aphrodisiac if used on fairies. I had two vials with me, and I didn’t like the idea of returning to make more. That meant that we needed to use it sparsely. However, that would be impossible if we all needed to wear a mask continuously.
I could be spared because of my amulet. I would give anything to have six more of these amulets, but I just didn’t. As a result, the only choice was to have Shao disguise everyone. That meant a lot of fairy dust though.
“I don’t think we even really need to change our faces,” Miki explained. “The lord wouldn’t have paid attention to me or Shao. Only your face will be remembered.”
“You think? But… what about the bandits.”
“I stay in the back to attack their minds, and Shao hides in the shadows. It’s unlikely any bandits would remember us so clearly.”
“We also were not seen,” Salicia said.
“I wore my helmet when I encountered Bandits, they would not recognize me.” Carmine nodded.
“I made sure not to reveal my face as well. Being seen is a good way to ellicit vengeance.” Ruby added.
So, it was only me then. Everyone else had hidden their faces while we encountered Bandits. I hadn’t even noticed. I was the only one who went around showing my face. I wondered if the disaster that night even would have happened if I had hidden my face. They wouldn’t have known who I was and they wouldn’t have initiated a countermeasure. Well, that was what I thought.
With a sigh, I gave a nod. It turned out that while trying to be cautious, I was the only one who hadn’t been careful. I made sure that Miki and Shao took their Trait Hiding dungeon skill so that they appeared human. Without horns or a tail, neither girl drew any particular notice. Next to Carmine in her dazzling paladin armor, which thankfully hadn’t been the armor that she was wearing when it was destroyed, the other girls were hard to even notice.
She had thankfully brought her back up armor for fighting with Bandits. As to why she had backup armor, I decided I wasn’t going to ask about her spending habits. It’d just give me a headache.
