Tailor
"You… IDIOT!" An muscular man said to Kuro with an half-serious way.
Despite his macho body, his action were adorably cutting the cloth, knotting the threads, etc. He, looked really weird and his body type didn't match with his occupation.
"Understood!" Despite being shouted by this muscular man, Aimu Gei, Kuro was unfazed as he gave back the resolution of responds.
"Ah… oh, ooh…. Okay." Gei just thought of scolding him to drive him out in case he came here to play with, but Kuro's response weren't what he expected.
From there on, Kuro never made the same mistake. As the way he ties the threads stranded afar from Gei, it became more proficient.
'T-this guy… he isn't listening at all to my teaching…!?' Gei felt weird.
Kuro wasn't listening to him at all and not copying his movement like a beginner, to get used to it. However, he still improved nevertheless.
Piercing through the needle toward the mark he draw in cloth, Kuro connected the 2 parts, finally after he hid the threads, did his first clothes was done.
"what… when I first made my cloth, it wasn't even half as good as this…" Gei felt his pride damaged. As he looked over the clothes Kuro tailored.
Rather than a shirt or pants that cover most of body parts, it was a glove. As the spring is coming, it was still a winter and very cold, at least in Reign Empire.
Afterward making his own glove, Kuro began making from the next one… next and next. In almost the blink of an eye which is an over exaggerated, 4 gloves with each different sizes were made.
"Tailoring should be about half-mastered… I want to be able to add a property in these gloves like auto-fitting or auto-repair, etc… Gei-san, do you know how to add them?"
After Kuro asked it, Gei shook his head in disappointment.
"That requires an advanced Rune-Writing Technique along with [Rune Liquid] applied in the cloth itself. Y'know, [Rune Liquid] is quite pricey. You may not have the money to buy it."
"How much is the [Rune Liquid]…?" Kuro changed his question the .
"It's divided in grade. The higher [Rune Liquid]'s rank is, the more and widely properties you can apply. As this [Rune Liquid] not only works on cloth, but also weapon/armors, it is very valuable."
"The cheapest one, the lowest ranked one cost 1,000 Golds at best. While the expensive one can cost to around 5,000,000 Golds." Gei shared his knowledge to Kuro.
"Rune Liquid has from +1 ~ +5 rankings. As I said before, the higher rank have the stronger enchantment on item."
"For example; [Auto Repair+5] are much stronger than [Auto Repair+1] if [Auto Repair +1] can fix things like small crack in armor, [Auto Repair+5] can maybe instantly fix the broken armor."
"That's not only that. The higher the rank of [Rune Liquid] is, the wider the enchantment choices you can put on items, although you can only put up to 4 enchantment on single item as it is too complicated."
Kuro have listened to what Gei have to say as he sorted the enchantment list inside his mind.

Also apparently, you can stack a certain enchantment for how many times. Now that it's like this, Kuro have really starting to feel this world being a world of game.
Monster (Neutral Monster) that spawns at the hunting ground…
NPC (Kuro & Such) that sells things.
Enchantment (Rune Liquid) that enchant an item and gives it a property that makes it stronger…
If this world really became a game, it will be no doubt, be better than Cyberpunk 2077… well that depends on developer.
As such Kuro's thought raced inside, Gei opened his mouth.
"Enchanting a single item up to 4 times is ridiculously hard and rare. After all… hmm… how do I explain it.
Ah, that! For example: First, you're soaking the item inside a glasses of milk. Then next, you're soaking it inside a glasses filled with coca cola. Not just that, you have to edits the property inside that chaos."
Kuro nodded toward Gei's absurd example as he considered Rune Writing in the future.
"Well that doesn't matter because you're on one-way path onward to become the greatest tailor, right?" Gei shrugged.
"What…?"
"What?"
The situation suddenly got awkward as Gei started complaining about him wasting his talent not aiming for the greatest tailor, whatsoever.
Kuro's character design were really wrong all over. In exchange having 0 combat talents, he was actually a genius in term of creating things, and that is not just limited to tailoring.
Even Ayame praised him in the past.
Unfortunately, what he really wanted was power for certain reason that occurred to him in the past event. He have changed, the environment have changed him.
