"Miss Norna, have you ever heard of stockings?" Roger raised a hand to his chin, his eyes fixed intently on Norna's long, shapely legs.
In this world, fashions were very liberal—most women dressed in styles that were either provocatively sexy, softly elegant, or coolly aloof. Each one accentuated her curves, highlighting a powerful sense of allure.
Norna wore a split-front gown that revealed just a hint of her smooth, ivory thighs—undoubtedly the sort of sight every man found irresistible.
Sensing Roger's heated gaze, Norna flushed with a touch of embarrassment, though she wasn't entirely surprised. With her beauty, it was only natural that people would stare. It was also proof of her undeniable charm.
Yet Roger wasn't ogling her out of lust—he was already devising how to design a pair of stockings just for her.
Norna asked suspiciously, "What are stockings? Please—I asked for a Holy Light Cloak. Why on earth are you offering me socks?"
Roger withdrew his gaze and said cryptically, "What if the stockings I make carry a very strong magical attribute?"
He'd chosen to pitch stockings first because the system's blueprint pack included three pieces of lingerie—bra, panties, and stockings—collectively called the underwear set. Recommending a bra or panties before establishing trust would seem too forward, even lecherous. Stockings were a safer introduction.
"But I don't lack Magic Equipment," Norna shook her head.
"Your legs are already flawless, but if you wear a pair of custom-made stockings from me, they'll highlight your beauty even more. Why not give them a try? I guarantee you'll be satisfied," Roger coaxed her with a warm smile.
Norna hesitated, intrigued. "But… what about my Holy Light Cloak?"
Roger replied calmly, "Here's the deal: after I finish the stockings, I'll throw in a Holy Light Cloak free of charge. It might not match my father's craftsmanship, but it'll serve as a worthy showpiece."
With that, Norna could find no reason to refuse. "Alright, I'll give you one day."
Roger waved a hand. "You won't need a full day. One hour will do."
Norna blinked in surprise. "You can make a garment in an hour? You're not just trying to trick me, are you?"
"Just wait and see," Roger said with a slight grin, then turned and strode into the shop.
Curiosity getting the better of her, Norna followed.
Roger approached his workbench, closed his eyes for a moment to study the stockings portion of the blueprint, and then began crafting.
The God-Level Tailor System had already transmitted the entire production process to him—each stitch and seam executed at elite skill level.
Roger picked up a measuring tape, knelt before Norna, and said, "Miss Norna, I need to take your measurements. Please cooperate."
No sooner had he spoken than he gently lifted the hem of Norna's gown, revealing her two white, supple thighs and the pink triangle of her panties.
It was the first time since birth that Norna had been touched so intimately by a man. Her cheeks went bright red; she covered her mouth, nearly letting out a scream.
Fortunately, she knew that taking body measurements was a necessary step, so she didn't resist.
The young guard waiting outside nearly popped his eyes out when he saw the scene.
If Norna hadn't held him back, he would have plunged his sword through Roger on the spot.
"These thighs are so firm and silky… truly divine!" Roger exclaimed inwardly as his hand touched the top of Norna's thigh.
Under the spell of those perfect legs, a wicked heat rose in his belly, and his deepest masculine instincts stirred.
As a hot-blooded handsome man, it was only natural he'd react this way.
He just had to keep his impulses in check and not do anything reckless.
Before long, he'd taken all the measurements he needed and let the hem of her dress fall again, covering those tempting thighs.
The shop had bolts of exquisite silk veiling on hand, and Roger, making use of what was around him, expertly cut the fabric to the precise dimensions.
Norna watched over his shoulder the entire time.
Though she didn't understand the process, she could tell it was impressive.
Second by second, the minutes ticked by.
Roger followed the blueprint to the letter, even adding a delicate floral motif to the stockings.
And in keeping with Norna's Noble pedigree, he designed silver-threaded garters that spoke of understated luxury and taste.
During the crafting process, Roger periodically draped a length of stocking over Norna's leg for fitting.
He admittedly took a few innocent liberties in the name of precision.
It was a fantasy that countless men in Windmill Town had dreamed of—and Roger was the first to bring it to life.
"These stockings… they look really intriguing," Norna said excitedly.
Roger smiled. "We're just getting started. The best part is still to come."
Almost an hour later, the stockings were finished.
"Is it done already?" Norna asked.
Roger held them up before her. "All set!"
Norna leaned in to inspect them and saw the impeccable craftsmanship: the surface shimmered with fine threads of light, and a faint hint of Mana seemed to emanate from the weave.
[Sexy Stockings: Erotic Value +50, Mana +20%!]
[Host Mana Points +10%!]
[Host additionally gains 20% Mana Amplification!]
At that moment, the God-Level Tailor System displayed its notification.
Roughly translated—
The Sexy Stockings carried an Erotic Value of 50, boosting the wearer's power by 20%.
The Host's 10% Mana Points was a system reward, meaning his own power rose by 10%. Once he reached 100%, he could advance to a fourth-tier Mage.
The 20% Mana Amplification was the Enchantment Attribute that Norna, upon wearing the Sexy Stockings, would return to Roger.
"These feel amazing! How do I put them on?" Norna's eyes sparkled as she asked eagerly.
Roger glanced toward the door. "I'll show you. Follow me."
With that, he turned and walked into the fitting room.
The space was narrow, fitting at most three people, with a single stool in the center and a full-length brass mirror mounted on the inner wall.
Roger led the way, Norna close behind.
"Please sit down and lift your skirt. I'll teach you how to step into these," Roger said with a warm smile.
Norna's cheeks flushed deep red. She sat down hesitantly, but couldn't bring herself to lift the hem of her dress.
After all, it was far too embarrassing.
If it weren't a tailor standing before her, she would have bolted long ago.
Roger said earnestly, "It seems your technique isn't up to par. Let me handle this."
Before Norna could reply, he smoothly moved between her legs, knelt down, and expertly lifted her skirt to her waist, revealing a pair of completely bare, beautiful legs.
Through the thin pink panties, he could even make out the faint outline of her most intimate parts.
"How humiliating!" Norna covered her face, her heart pounding wildly.
"Whoa! Handling such a delicate operation really gets the blood pumping," Roger couldn't help but think.
He then slid the stocking onto Norna's left leg, followed by the right, his movements practiced and precise, completing the task in one fluid motion.
"Phew…"
Having finished, Roger let out a relieved breath and said, "Miss Norna, I've put on the stockings for you. How do they feel?"
Norna was still covering her face, peeking through her fingers at her legs.
At the same time, she felt the pure Mana radiating from the stockings as though they had become part of her body.
The Sexy Stockings resonated with her own Mana, significantly boosting her power and even making her movements feel much lighter.
Through her personal experience, Norna realized she had truly discovered a treasure.
She stood up, lifted her skirt, and admired herself in the brass mirror, spinning once. "They really are beautiful. My legs look longer, sexier, and more stunning! And the best part is—they actually boost my Mana!"
Roger smiled. "The Amplification Attribute on these Sexy Stockings rivals that of a two-star Magic Artifact."
Magic Artifacts range from one to ten stars and serve as weapons or tools for both Magic Warriors and Mages.
Above Magic Artifacts are even more powerful items: Magitech Devices, Holy Relics, and Divine Artifacts.
Windmill Town, being remote, only sees one- to three-star Magic Artifacts in circulation.
To have an Amplification Attribute equivalent to a two-star Magic Artifact on a single pair of Sexy Stockings speaks volumes about their strength.
They're definitely worth every coin.
"I never imagined a pair of stockings could be so powerful—it's simply unbelievable!" Norna exclaimed excitedly as she twirled.
"Do you think you could make other clothes with similar attributes?" she asked.
"Of course," Roger replied. "I can craft bras and panties with Amplification Attributes just like these."
"Ah—bras and panties!" Norna's eyes widened in surprise.
