Kuro Kurori ssu~!
This is the first side story from the WN. Personally, I really enjoyed reading while translating it and I hope you guys also enjoyed it too.
P.S.
What the heck is with this names, Emsensei…?
AU Note:
A short break.
This is a story of Sachan several years ahead.
This series will also be updated once in a while.
Bikini Armor Travel Tale 1 – The Important ThingA certain store, located in the mighty city-state of Hagfield in the center of the continent.
A city that is built based on the ruins of a nation that existed in the past, and is known as a scenic tourist city.
At the outskirts of such city is a place called Wheyroad Slum, which is said to be the largest slum town on the continent.
Situated at the center of the so-called savage town that even C-ranked adventurers would suppress their urge to enter.
There lies an armor shop in which a man, who has a legendary-class skill and nicknamed as 『Hard Wall』, was gripping his hammer.
Upleys Armor Shop.
A bikini armor specialty store that is acknowledged both by oneself and the others.

Ah~… ♪
This place ♪
It is said to be the holy ground for bikini armor lover…… ♪
「「「「Welcome!」」」」 (Store Clerks)
The clerks were quite…… no, tremendously viscious-looking people.
Everyone has a mohawk haircut and looks like the type that would likely go Hyahha~ at the end of a century.
……yikes.
A «Bikini saves the world» tattoo can also be seen on the right side of their mohawk head.
Everyone is the same….. it’s pretty incredible if I may say….
「Oy, miss」 (Clerk)
「? Me?」 (Saachi)
「Yeah you.」 (Clerk)
Uwaahh……he’s approaching while putting his hand in his pocket.
……he wants to kill me?
I concentrated some magic on my hand.
The mohawk head entered my range….
And something from the pocket is….
……
……
……a business card?
「I’m Rath, Upleys Armor Shop’s part-time leader, ssu! That bikini armor is super amazing, ssu! Nice to meet you, ssu!」 (Rath)
「…ah…haa……」 (Saachi)
「Part-timer, Fupedd, ssu!」 (Fupedd)
「Part-timer, Zaya, ssu!」 (Zaya)
「Part-timer, Zlober, ssu!」 (Zlober)
W-what the heck is with these name?
Even if they really look like the ones who will go Hyahha~ at the end of the century, this is……
「Guhha!」(Saachi)
「? What is it, ssu?」 (Rath)
「Gohhoo-!」 (Saachi)
「?? Is it a new spell or something, ssu?」 (Rath)
……wrong.
This store manager could definitely make it.
…or rather, this is the only place. The other armor shops always said 『impossible』 no matter where I asked.
「The one who can create this, would be Upleys without a doubt」 they said.
And…..then…..finally.
I am standing here.
「Umm…… Is the manager here?」 (Saachi)
「The manager, ssu? Please wait a moment, ssu」 (Rath)
Part-time leader Rath went to call.
Why are they adding 『ssu』 at the end?
Well, it doesn’t matter, though.
「Head, someone is calling, ssu!」 (Rath)
Why ‘Head’……
「Ooーーーu!」 (Head)
……Eh? The Hyahha Part-timers are lining up….
「「「「Thanks for your hard workーーー, ssu!」」」」 (Store Clerks)
Uwaa! They bowed in unison! Why is it so beautiful!?
Oh, someone from the back is……
「Fyuuーhh, do you guys need something?」 (Head)
……
……
He’s pretty much a normal uncle, right…?
Is he the head.., the store manager called 『Hard Wall』?
「Is it you? Do you need something from me?」 (Head)
「Ummm……you are……」 (Saachi)
「Upleys. I assume you’re new in here, right?」 (Upleys)
「……can you tell?」 (Saachi)
「Yeah. The first ones all respond in the same way.」 (Upleys)
……that’s a given, right?
Wouldn’t the manager come out as a supreme ruler if the part-timer lineup is like that.
But instead, the one who came out was a really ordinary villager A….
「This place is…… a bikini armor specialty store, right?」 (Saachi)
「It’s…..not a specialty, though…」 (Upleys)
Not a specialty store!?
……certainly, ordinary spears and shields are also being displayed…but…
Somehow, it’s slightly shocking……
「We could also do custom-made products, though」 (Upleys)
「……ahh……so you could make it.」 (Saachi)
「Our protective gears were basically custom-made. Especially, the type that adheres to the skin and cannot be fine-tuned in mass production.」 (Upleys)
Ah, I see. It’s like that, huh.
The once-in-while enthusiastic armor shop that sells bikini armor.
There’s a big difference with each of the individual measurements. Hence, it’s a single item for each person.
Naturally, it will be expensive despite its lack of defense. Thus, they can’t sell it from the start.
In addition, the degree of perfection of the armor type that adheres to the skin like a bikini armor is influenced by the craftsman’s skill himself.
To make matter worse, the demand for bikini armor is small. Therefore, it will be custom-made by a skilled craftsman with legendary skill.
If the orders are from all over the world, then……
「I want to make other armors, but it’s all bikini armors…」 (Upleys)
It would become like this.
It became a specialty store as a result.
「Ah, sorry. The story got off track. What do you wish for?」 (Upleys)
「A bikini armor!」 (Saachi)
「……Yeah, I could guess. You have already worn it too.」 (Upleys)
The store manager stared around my chest. Ecchi.
「……but…… it looks like a pretty good bikini armor, though……what are you dissatisfied about?」 (Upleys)
As expected, he understood.
This bikini armor is an item made by Goldsand’s No.1 craftsman, Aulsyss.
I somehow begged it to be made but the item is wrong, though.
It’s just.
By any means.
There were times when I was worried and I couldn’t help it.
「Please. I will pay the money…, so, with the same strength as this bikini armor,……」 (Saachi)
I want you to make a bikini armor that. Would. Make. My. Breast. Shake.
That’s my order.
