Overgeared

Was it an intended harmony? The white houses under the clear blue sky were reminiscent of clouds. He turned his gaze to the sea. It was hard to find the horizon. The clear sea reflected the blue sky.

“It is truly a beautiful place.”

Mercedes’ voice was somewhat excited as she admired the scenery of Cokro Island. The palm trees placed along each side of the small road shook their leaves like they were welcoming her.

“I like this place as well.”

Grid also liked the view of Cokro Island and its tranquil atmosphere. He felt better every time the wind swept past his cheeks.

‘It is good to set it as a no-tourism zone.’

Originally, Cokro was one of the most iconic attractions of the Overgeared Kingdom. However, tourists were forced to leave due to large and small problems. It was regretful about the tourism revenue, but what could he do? There were those who damaged nature, those who sneaked into the mines to steal resources, or those who were trying to completely revive Hell Gao. He was worried about the safety of the residents and the demise of the island. It was too far from the mainland so it was difficult for the Overgeared Kingdom to perfectly manage the security of Cokro Island.

‘Most of all, I want the residents to feel comfortable.’

The residents of Cokro Island were under great stress from the thousands of outsiders who visited every day and made a lot of noise. They deserved praise for their years of patience as they devoted themselves to the tourism business in order to enrich the kingdom.

‘It has been a long time since I’ve come here so I should give them a gift. I should make underwear.’

Wouldn’t they be pleased? It was underwear with a huge 20 defense and three extra stat points.

Grid’s sewing speed increased as he smiled. His appearance of making underwear while walking on the sparkling white sandy beach was very strange. When seen by strangers, it was a peculiar sight that would make them doubt their minds.

However, Mercedes thought it was good no matter what Grid did. She was happy that she was walking with Grid, just the two of them. Mercedes’ long hair that fell to her waist fluttered in the sea breeze. She was fixing her bangs when Grid handed her a gift.

“Take it. I think you’ll need it.”

It was a white hair tie. It was plain at first glance, but there were thousands of holes small enough for a needle to pass through. The horun thread was so thin that it was easy to break, thus nine pieces were twisted together to form one strand. Then it was made with a crochet hook.

It was a work that was difficult even for Grid, whose skill had reached advanced level four. Even though he steadily invested an hour or two into it every day, the total production period was two months. It was a delicate and beautiful hair tie. Of course, it was a different story when taking a closer look, and Mercedes was a person with better eyes than anyone else in the world. Her eyes trembled as she saw Grid’s efforts and devotion in the hair tie.

“Cherish... I will cherish it.”

“Don’t cherish it. I made it for you to wear while fighting.”

The infamous horun thread—it was so thin that it was easily broken or cut. Some people said that it was even worse than a spider web. The horun thread needed several strands to be twisted into one in order to increase the durability. It was just extremely difficult. No matter how high their sewing skills were, even people with good dexterity could accidentally break the thread in the process of twisting them together.

However, it was durable enough to be used as a material for cloth if four or more pieces were twisted into one. If eight or more pieces were twisted into one then it would become solid enough to be used as a material for armor. Now Grid had succeeded in twisted nine pieces into one.

The hair tie that he gave Mercedes was stronger than it looked. There were also speed boost buffs attached due to the effects generated by the horun thread.

“Then I’ll tie up my hair every day.”

The smiling Mercedes pulled back her hair and tied it up. The blue hair and white hair tie were a beautiful harmony and it was within Grid’s expectations.
