Chapter 57 - Day 57: True fashion (III)

"You may be wondering why I decided to name its past memories, that's because of you."

"To me?" Blake had an expectant face at what Evelyn was going to say next.

"Yes. You see, the main reason for my inspiration was that you lost your memories, and I thought the only thing left with you was those clothes you're wearing."

"Well, it's true that I only have these clothes with me…" Blake said as he gave a small nervous laugh as he had realized that a long time ago.

"This could be said to be the only memory that stayed with you, and that by combining it with the style and all my ideas through my past experiences, that's how I came up with the name that I would bear, and now... Let me present to you the fruit of all that!" Then, without waiting for Blake's opinion, Evelyn walked over to the first set of clothes that was on a small mannequin and began to describe its highlights of it. "This is the first design I came up with, it is made mainly of pink turnip greens plus pumpkin parts to keep the feeling that spring has not gone away, it is bound with the finest and strongest spider silk so that there is no problem regarding its structure, besides, anyone who sees you using it will think that you are a nature lover, and don't worry, it can't wither since it has a life elemental array."

"An array?" That was a new word for Blake and he asked that question as it was necessary.

"Yes. It works the same as in refrigerators or washing, the clothes have an array enchanted with a life element spell, it is basically a set of engraved symbols that make sure the spell works correctly and absorbs the runic energy from the surroundings, so it does not you should worry, just make sure you learn to rewrite it."

"Oh, I see..." 'So objects work through an array, it seemed strange to me that a spell activated itself, it seems that I still have to learn a lot of things.'

"Well, the next one would be my favorite, this one I made using the fish that can be obtained in the Dragon lake." And again, Blake saw a new set of clothes that at first glance could tell that Evelyn was serious about the materials the one that was made. "This design is composed of the same base as the previous one, but instead, it has a pattern made with the scales of rainbow trout to give it that dazzling and colorful touch, the accessories are made of snapper spines, it's perfect for use on a summer day, and as the icing on the cake, it offers great resistance to water elemental magic, isn't that great?"

Ignoring the strange materials that were used, Blake nodded at Evelyn's question and thought that these clothes looked very nice.

"And last but not least, ta-chan! the gem design! I needed help from Gaius for this one, but the final product was just as I expected. As you can see, the design is mainly made up of iron and bronze extracted from the Privera forest, in addition to having several amethysts and emeralds embedded in the sleeves and neck, this is in order to improve defense and give a small increase to the power of the spells, and the important part, it has a space elemental array that reduces the weight of clothing, so it should be really light, even if it doesn't look like it." Once she finished her explanation, Blake could tell that this outfit looked too elegant for him, plus he didn't think he could afford it or any other Evelyn taught him, but he was sure of one thing... He could feel how each design expressed what she had told him, it was the love she felt for Sharance, Blake could see the work she'd put into them, and from the little bags under Evelyn's eyes, Blake guessed she hadn't rested enough to get them done as quickly as possible. "Well, what do you think, Blake?"

"I... I can only say that they are amazing, I really don't know much about fashion, but I really think it transmits what you told me, I can see and feel that the town is in them, besides, they keep the style that I have in right now, although they are a little different, they combine very well"

"I knew you would understand, that's why... You can take them all!"

"Huh?... Can I take them?" Again, Blake was wondering if he had heard wrong, but the cheerful designer's voice was enough for him to convince himself.

"What you heard, I made all these specifically for you, I told you, right? You must have more clothes besides that, this is my gift to you, Blake." He did not know what to say, just by the image that all those clothes gave, he could tell that they were worth several thousand coins, Blake did not think he could accept it without feeling something bad, but since it was a gift and by Evelyn's smiling face, he knew that he should not reject her good intention.

"Okay, I'll gladly accept it, but... I don't think I'll be able to use them very often..." And as if Blake had explained the creation of the universe, Evelyn had a totally confused face.

"Huh, why do you say that?"

"Well, since I now own the farm in Sharance tree, it is very likely that I will end up dirtying and wearing out the clothes I wear, plus I would like to explore the Privera forest and the other areas around the town in the future, so that I guess I'll be facing a lot of monsters, besides... The design doesn't seem like they're made to be used for work, right?" Just as Blake said that something seemed to click in Evelyn's mind as a depressive aura began to envelop her as several whispers came out of her mouth very quickly.

"I'm a real fool, why didn't I think of that before, it was obvious that Blake would take over the farm, these designs are not for the job, I was looking for a flashy and elegant theme so much that I neglected the versatility of the day a day. I'm an embarrassment as a designer..." Blake could actually hear all this and thought that it would be best to get Evelyn out of that state.

"Evelyn...?"

"Don't say anything Blake, I know I was wrong this time, I just took your time to show you my incompetence, if you want to throw these outfits away, I'll fully understand."

"Huh? But I won't do any of that, even if I can't use them every day, it's a gift from you, I would never throw it away for that simple reason, what's more, I thank you very much for what you did."

"Really?"

"Of course! Also, if you are interested in making more clothes for me in the future, at least you will have a better idea of ​​what would be the best design you could do, don't worry about small things, and I will try to use your clothes every chance I get, I won't let the world be deprived of your fashion, haha…" After he said that, there was silence as Evelyn kept looking at Blake and slowly sat up again until she had the same feeling as the cheerful girl from before and an amused smile appeared on her face.
