The Villainous Me Turned the Losers into Blackened Bosses-Chapter 119 - Time for a New Outfit!

Inside a potion shop called “Witch’s Haven.”

“Why are there so many shops named after witches everywhere…”

“And… they even have sachets hanging around. Look at this one—it’s got a witch’s big hat printed on it. So fake. Real witches wouldn’t do something like this.”

Sachets were common accessories worn by witches who specialized in potion research. While Leah didn’t think this shop was legitimate, it was still interesting to see some acknowledgment of witch customs.

“Huh?! They actually have ready-made essential oils here… and they’re so cheap?!”

Although Leah had developed some tolerance from her experiments with blood mint essential oil, seeing rows of bottled oils in the shop still made her heart race.

Will usually spent a lot of effort and money preparing this stuff.

If she used ready-made products, wouldn’t that save him time and energy?

And if he had more time to spare…

The longer Leah stared at the essential oils, the more the hearts in her eyes seemed to swell.

She reached out for a bottle, only to be interrupted by Will’s voice from behind her—

“Buy the blood mint by weight.”

“Wait, why not just buy the ready-made oil?”

“Shh…” Will leaned in close to Leah, bending down to whisper near her flushed face, which had turned red from the effects of the blood mint. “The ready-made oils are diluted with water and impurities, which is why they’re so cheap. Buying raw ingredients is not only cleaner but also more cost-effective.”

Heh, this little trick was something Will had learned from Mr. S!

Leah crossed her arms and stared at Will.

“This kid… I’ve watched him study diligently at school for three years, but he’s acting like he’s been an adventurer for decades.”

“…Not enough? Then let’s buy a bit more. If we exceed the price threshold, they’ll throw in that sachet, right?”

“…What sachet?”

Hearing the word “sachet,” Leah’s witchy eyes lit up.

“All done!” Will tied up the blood mint and stuffed it into his backpack. Then he grabbed the sachet hanging on the counter rack and walked over.

“Leah-sensei~ this is for you.”

The sachet had a design of a witch’s big hat on it. While Leah didn’t believe in the shop’s authenticity, the name “Witch’s Haven” did seem like it was trying to piggyback off the Witch Association’s reputation.

“It suits you. You can even put the blood mint inside—it’s supposed to give off a faint fragrance~”

“Hmph, so… so you think you can appease your teacher with something like this?”

Leah snatched the sachet at lightning speed.

“What’s wrong~ Leah-sensei~”

“I-I mean… I… actually kind of like… this sort of thing…”

Her voice trailed off as she hung the sachet around her neck. (tln : Sachet leather neck)

Inside an armor shop called “Rusty Bargains.”

“Young Master, this set looks nice. It even has bonuses…” Eir was carefully selecting her outer armor and matching shield.

She was very serious about her choices, prioritizing practicality over aesthetics—like the adorable shield with a paw print on it. It was cute… but a bit pricey and possibly impractical.

A complete set seemed like the safest option, right?

“This one, this one, and this one—bring them to me. But separately.”

“Young Master…?”

“Shh! Complete sets don’t actually offer many bonuses. They’re often padded with filler items. Mixing and matching is better for adapting to different dungeon types.”

Heh, this was another lesson from Mr. S! The best gear was self-crafted, followed by self-assembled sets. Pre-made sets rarely achieved perfection!

“…Eir didn’t even say anything yet…”

Eir let out a helpless laugh.

She was used to it by now.

Her mature yet slightly eccentric Young Master—she’d been taking care of this version of Will for over a decade.

Even though he was a noble young master, he often displayed frugality that even commoners would struggle to achieve.

In that sense, he was kind of adorable.

“Alright, this one’s a bit heavy, so you’ll have to carry it—it’s your armor, after all.”

“Got it! Wait… what’s this?!”

Eir’s eyes landed on a small shield placed atop the full set of armor. The shield, adorned with a cute paw print, gleamed under the sunlight.

“It suits you… uh… I checked; the specs are fine, and the quality’s actually pretty good. The decoration doesn’t matter…”

Will did have a small personal motive.

Although Eir wasn’t a beastman with literal pawed hands…

Seeing this shield reminded him of the way Eir would wave her little hands to greet him.

It was a bit more expensive, but he bought it anyway!

After an exhilarating shopping spree, it was already dusk by the time they finished.

As the four of them stepped out of the shop and onto the bustling market street, the setting sun cast a warm glow over the horizon.

The market was still lively.

After all, this was a commercial district where everyone relied on business to make a living. Shops wouldn’t close just because it got dark.

“Woo~”

Standing at the edge of the street, they heard the distant sound of a train whistle. Looking toward the end of the market, they saw a small train chugging along the tracks.

“Wow! A train! This is Eir’s first time seeing one!”

“Actually… it’s my first time too,” Treya admitted.

“Oh? So even the little princess hasn’t seen everything. Then again, it’s no surprise—trains haven’t reached the capital yet.”

Trains and their corresponding railways were built using materials excavated from dungeons.

For now, they were primarily used for freight, with very few passenger services.

Novice Town likely got its station because it had been designated as the “beginner village,” prompting the construction of a simple railway.

However, the station was so rudimentary that it looked no different from an ordinary house. The gap between the tracks and residential areas was minimal.

It seemed like the kind of place where a drunkard might accidentally wander onto the tracks.

“Alright, everyone, check your things. Did we get everything we needed?”

“Eir’s all set.”

“No issues here.”

“Everything’s good.”

“Great!”

As expected, equipping the characters he had nurtured felt incredibly satisfying~

Will flipped open his notebook and checked off all the items on his list.

Except…

Hmm…

[Get yourself a stylish outfit to leave a great first impression on S.]

“This one’s tough to complete. Maybe I’ll just skip it… Besides, S doesn’t seem like the type to care about appearances.”

“Alright! If there’s nothing else, let’s head home!”

Stare—

But when Will looked up, he was met with the intense gazes of all three girls—scanning him from head to toe.

“…What?”

“I feel like your outfits in school weren’t much different from this.”

“Yeah, aside from the suit you wore to banquets, it’s always been the same style.”

“Eir can confirm! I’ve been washing the same set of clothes for years!”

“Huh?”

“You little—”

“Will-sensei!”

“Young Master!”

“Change your outfit already!”
