Chapter 309: Making Clothes
"Alright, tidy up and get out of bed. I plan to take you today to get a nice outfit. What kind do you want? I'll sew it for you on the spot."
Loren could handle all household chores, and his tailoring skills surpassed many masters. With Mirrorheart's help and the raw materials from Scarlett's Life Thief space, it wouldn't be difficult for Loren to whip up a formal dress for Luna within half a day.
"Once you're ready, come out. I'll be waiting for you in the living room. First, I need to take your measurements."
Loren didn't react much to what Luna was wearing. After giving her that instruction, he left.
It was precisely because Loren didn't seem to care that Luna felt particularly awkward at this moment and immediately started changing her clothes.
After changing, she didn't rush out either. She stayed where she was to calm her mood. She suddenly remembered what she saw yesterday. After seeing Naclis in the bedroom, she soon saw Naclis outside again, and Naclis clearly hadn't come from the bedroom.
"Why is that?"
Luna was a bit suspicious of her own eyes, but her night vision had already surpassed her daytime vision, so it was unlikely she had seen wrong.
However, in the end, Luna didn't plan to delve deeper into this matter. She knew Loren was by her side. As long as Loren was there, she didn't need to worry about anything. Loren would handle it.
This was also one of the reasons Luna liked Loren. Loren always brought an endless sense of security, and it wasn't just her who thought so; even those people from the Church felt the same way.After adjusting her mindset, Luna walked out of the bedroom and entered the living room.
Loren had gotten up exceptionally early today. It was still early morning; normally, Loren wouldn't be awake at this hour.
Loren had already taken out measuring tapes and various fabrics. Gwen was also standing beside Loren, holding scissors. With Loren's ability, he could easily perform intricate needlework simultaneously with his puppet.
"Could it be that the Master Mentor got up this early just to make clothes for me..."
Luna imagined the reason for Loren's early rise and felt a wave of emotion.
……
"Master Mentor, why did you get up so early today?"
Naclis was always disciplined, getting up early to study magic. Today, however, she unexpectedly saw Loren awake early.
"It's nothing. Had a nightmare. After waking up, I was too lazy to go back to sleep, so I just got up."
Loren generally didn't have nightmares. Combined with Flossie's previous warning to beware of "Dream," the reason for his nightmare was clear.
This was an effect of the God of Dreams' authority. However, no one else had nightmares; the nightmare seemed to specifically target Loren alone, which was quite rare.
He had dreamed again about the messy things from his previous life. These things couldn't fool Loren at all. Loren watched them for amusement and then broke through the dream.
But this place was very far from the God of Dreams' territory, even separated by an Endless Ocean. In theory, the God of Dreams shouldn't be able to influence this area.
Unless a follower of the God of Dreams had come here, intending to target Loren, first testing the waters with a dream.
Loren didn't know if that follower of the God of Dreams had entered the dream yesterday. If he really dared to enter the dream, going insane was probably the best outcome he could hope for. The Perpetual Observer's stature could corrupt even an Outer God of Cassian's level. Cassian didn't dare speak much with him, let alone a mere follower of the God of Dreams.
Among the Outer Gods, Cassian was among the strongest tier.
Still, Loren had to be somewhat on guard. The God of Dreams' authority was the most bizarre and could likely attack from an angle Loren never anticipated.
"I see. I thought you got up early to make clothes for Luna..."
"That's part of it too. Otherwise, I would have gone back to sleep... Luna, let me take your measurements."
"Okay..."
Luna, her face flushed, walked over to Loren, turning her head away to avoid Naclis's hostile gaze.
She really didn't want to offend Naclis, but Naclis still disliked her.
Or rather, Naclis disliked all women besides herself and Anna who wanted to get close to Loren. Her attitude towards others was similar, but Luna cared the most about Naclis's opinion.
Others didn't care, and Scarlett simply didn't notice.
Loren held a soft measuring tape, wanting to measure Luna's waist. Luna spread her arms, closed her eyes tightly, and felt Loren wrap his arms around her waist, followed by her bust, hips... Loren used the tape to measure every part of Luna's body.
"Alright, what kind of clothes do you want?"
Just taking simple measurements felt like a major battle to Luna, and she even broke out in a sweat.
"Anything is fine..."
"Then I'll just go with the flow."
After getting the measurements, Loren immediately got to work, calling Mirrorheart and even Gwen. The three of them worked together.
Luna was the standard country girl, usually wearing clothes that were as plain as could be, so Loren wanted to make Luna's outfit a bit more splendid this time.
Naclis returned to the bedroom. Watching Loren make clothes for someone else made her unhappy. This was originally a treatment reserved for her and her sister.
Back when the family was poor, Naclis and Anna's clothes were all hand-sewn by Loren. Now that they weren't poor anymore, they could just buy whatever clothes they wanted, but Naclis often missed those times.
Back then, there were only the three of them at home; even Mirrorheart hadn't arrived yet. She and Anna could receive all of Loren's love.
Naclis absentmindedly looked at her Magic Book, not even noticing when Anna came to her side.
"What's wrong, Naclis? You seem preoccupied."
Anna still casually called her older sister by her full name without formality, but she keenly sensed Naclis's mood.
"It's nothing."
In front of her younger sister, Naclis still pretended to be strong.
It had always been like this since childhood. She always wanted to show her strong side, trying her best not to burden Loren and to be a support for Anna.
Anna also knew that if Naclis didn't want to talk about something, she wouldn't be able to get it out of her. She could only wait for Naclis to speak up herself.
However, Anna could guess roughly what it was about. Now that Loren was successful and their lives were carefree, the only thing Naclis would worry about was matters of the heart.
"Nature will take its course, and we can't control such things.
"But no matter what happens, love never changes. Love is the strongest force in this world, after all."
Anna comforted her. She wasn't entirely sure if her words were helpful, but this was all she could do.
Perhaps she could play a supporting role, but Anna understood Naclis's personality. Luna was cowardly enough, but the real Naclis was even more cowardly than Luna.
Naclis had always pretended to be strong, but she had never fooled Anna. Anna was very smart and often saw the essence of things.
