Chương 84: Sick Clothes

Hello everyone and welcome to this episode of Dr. Stoned. Today we will learn how to craft a deer hide cloak! First, you gotta find a deer. Well, rip. There ends the lesson. Honestly, all the creatures I have encountered so far do not deserve to get skinned.

[So, can you make me some silk clothes similar to yours? Ah, less open at the chest area, however.]

Yep, let's just say the view wouldn't seem as nice on me.

"*Blushing* How bold!"

[What?]

"I wish you good luck teacher! Guardian, you should agree! Teacher is awesome!"

"There goes the newcomer proposing to a guardian. Is that why he wants to become one himself?"

"Ah, this old turtle will cheer you guys on the sidelines."

"You do know that it means a proposal to ask for clothes from one such as I, right?"

[No I didn't!]

"*Sigh* How cold. Toying with a lady's feeling. How heartless!"

She's totally messing with me, isn't she? Yep, I can see a shadow of a smile on her face. Hehe. Two can play that game. I boldly advance till I'm right in front of her. All the while making eye contact. Then I slowly caress her cheek.

[I guess it can't be helped. I'll have to take responsibility.]

*Furious blushing*

"Y-you! I was k-kidding I didn't mean to …"

On that note, she bolts away.

[If you don't tell me how to get clothes, I'll follow you!]

"Ah! Just use magic! I'm out you scoundrel!"

Finally, she disappears.

[Oh well, now what?]

I turn to my companions. All of them stifling a laugh. I can see thumbs-ups too.

"I never wore clothes since I have my shell, but perhaps try what she suggested? Magic."

[How would that work?]

"Well, this vessel you are in is a result of nature magic right? You just need to think carefully about transforming it until it has the appearance you desire."

I'd like to say it makes sense but at the same time, it's crazy. How does nature magic make clothes appear out of nowhere? Ah, whatever.

I slowly head to the lake with the bear and the roc. The others all go back to their business. I slowly take time to check out my reflection in the water.

I'm satisfied.

Green hair.

Orange eyes.

Smooth skin.

Tall, but not overly.

Still, I do feel very short compared to every inhabitant here. I sit down and focus on getting clothes. Seeing my diligence my disciples do the same. The bear trying to somehow hide in the water. The roc training to remain still. In fact, he's totally sleeping in a tree, but whatever.

Mirror mirror tell me who's the most handsome MC. Could you imagine if that did anything?

"Not you for sure! You big bully!"

…. Why is that goldfish so annoying?

[Go away and leave me alone!]

"*Humph* What are you going to do about it?!"

[What will I do?]

"I can retreat anytime in my lake! HAHA! I can make you lose focus whenever! Don't train here!"

Oh, I see. Well, only one way to deal with this. Use the mute line? She must have prepared something to deal with that. Perhaps she has realized that I need a magic circle for that. Time for a more direct approach instead.

[Piss in your lake.]

"What?!"

[I'll piss in your lake.]

"NOOO!"

[If you aren't gone by the time I count to one, I seriously will.]

*Gasp*

[3 ….2 ….]

"Noooo!"

*SPLASH! *

Ah, the calm peacefulness of nature. Finally. Quite funny how she ran away from my bluff. I mean even if I wanted to, I'm not sure how I would go about it. Leak some sap in the water? As if that would change anything.

Oh well, where was I? Yes, clothes. But there are priorities in life. There is something I must do before. I keep concentrating until finally. I manage to regrow my little brother! It is long, sturdy-looking, and green. Yep, just a vine.

*Sigh*

I guess I'll have to wait. Right, clothes. What do I even want? I'm not sure. Let me just picture the concept of the best clothes ever.

Then I concentrate and drive the mana… Until finally I am clothed! Behold... the naked apron! DISPEL! DISPEL!

Oof, I don't think anyone saw that. That was close. Okay, that previous thing is amazing for sure. Just…not on me! Definitely not!

Okay, let's try and picture the coolest manly clothes. Hopefully this time I won't end up with something…well you know. I think it has worked?

I slowly approach the water. This is when I see myself fully. Damn, I look nice. How should I describe it? Picture the coolest long black coat there is. Then add a touch of color. An orange border that makes it pop. Just a touch at the sleeves and collar.

This thing even covers the neck. I'm really satisfied with it. I can't believe I've been running around naked all this time. Had I known I would have done that ages ago. Hell, magic seems to be omnipotent! What if I can even use it to fly?

I will wings of vines to appear on my back. Then a few seconds later I am magnificently… Sprawled on the ground like a dumbass. Turns out adding lots of weight on your back just makes you fall. I mean that much is obvious.

Let's just say the thin membrane I was picturing doesn't happen. I'll have to slowly work on that with time, I guess.

Alright, where are my companions now? The roc is easy to find. The bear is nowhere to be seen. That's when I notice a reed in the water. Real subtle haha. To be fair there is no way to actually see him. The lake is as quiet as ever. I approach it and tap lightly on it before whispering.

[Alright, time to go.]

Comes out a goofy-looking giant wet bear.

"How did you know teacher?!"

[Hehe, that trick only works against people that are not aware of it.]

"Teacher's knowledge is boundless!"

[No, even I have my limits. Alright, shall we go see the spider one last time to announce my departure?]

He joyfully follows me.

Should I apologize or tease her some more haha?
