Yami: Where Did You Dig Up That Skirt?!

Now it was Carl's turn to be dumbfounded.

Honestly, being shirtless was no big deal. But after all that chaos just now, his pants had been shredded to pieces too. He might as well have worn nothing.

He looked rather strange at the moment.

If he had been alone, then at most, upon returning to the Royal City, he would have drawn screams from some young ladies and married women.

With his thick skin, he could endure that much.

But if he went back with Vanessa and Noelle, then no matter how thick-skinned he was, he definitely was not that thick-skinned.

Seeing the three of them in such an awkward state, Charlotte smiled faintly and patted the magic-patterned pouch at her waist.

The next moment, three sets of women's clothing emerged from the pouch.

Seeing the exquisitely crafted dresses, Vanessa and Noelle's eyes lit up almost at the same time.

Noelle stared at the luxurious, intricate patterns and decorations, her eyes sparkling.

"Captain Charlotte, are you giving these to me?"

The moment the words left her mouth, Noelle's face turned red.

"Of course, I will remember this kindness.

Later... I'll return it with a gift."

Charlotte immediately smiled and waved her hand.

"It isn't a big deal. Just a small matter."

After putting on the dress, Vanessa was practically transformed in an instant.

She looked even more seductive than before.

The inexplicably luxurious outfit made her look graceful and charming.

Noelle, on the other hand, was clearly not nearly as happy.

Although she looked quite good in the beautiful dress, it was obviously Charlotte's size.

At that moment,

she looked at the two empty cups over her chest, her face turning bright red.

Charlotte walked over and directly pulled the ties, adjusting them to fit Noelle properly.

As for what Noelle was thinking at that moment,

no one knew.

In any case, her mind had been completely filled with the words "go back and replenish energy."

One day, she would definitely surpass these freaks before her.

Then everyone's gaze fell on Carl again.

Carl's skin crawled under their stares.

"Hey, what are you guys trying to do?"

Charlotte smiled faintly,

then said to Carl:

"You can choose between going shirtless and wearing a dress."

"Either way, if you go back like this, you'll definitely be arrested as a pervert."

"When that happens, the Blue Rose Knights will absolutely deny that you're one of us."

Vanessa raised her hand from the side as well.

"Although our Black Bulls are a troublesome squad, when it comes to something this embarrassing, the captain definitely won't stand up for you."

"Or, Carl, you can go back to the Royal City, get caught by the Security Division, spend a few days locked up, and then come back. That works too."

Hearing this, Carl was completely speechless.

Three women made a show.

With these four gathered together, their power was truly boundless.

Looking at the women's clothes in his hand, Carl felt a hundred kinds of reluctance rise within him.

The next moment,

he snarled at them:

"I warn you, don't go too far!

I'll die before I wear women's clothes!"

"I, Carl, am an upright man. I've never done anything like this before!"

However, none of them listened to Carl's excuses.

Sol Marron showed no mercy and directly pinned him to the ground.

The four of them worked together, even using magic.

Earth and Stone Magic and Thorn Magic sealed Carl up tightly.

Along with Vanessa's strange Fate Magic, which kept resonating at the same frequency and forcibly interrupting the gathering of his power.

Caught off guard, Carl was actually successfully ambushed by them.

Watching Sol Marron and the others bind him up with utterly righteous expressions, Carl immediately felt wronged.

Tears of humiliation nearly streamed down his face.

"I really didn't want to wear women's clothes... They forced me!"

And so, under their "careful styling,"

Carl was still forced into women's clothing.

Vanessa draped the cloak that combined the styles of the Blue Rose Knights and the Black Bulls back over Carl.

Seeing Carl's short hair and upright figure, the women laughed so hard they doubled over.

Vanessa wore an admiring expression.

"Carl, you really do have the makings of a beauty."

"If you were a woman, so many people would definitely fall for you."

Carl had always been handsome, so the women's clothes did not actually look out of place on him.

The only thing was, his legs felt awfully chilly.

Watching the women laugh without restraint, Carl really wanted to tear the skirt apart.

But when he thought of the consequences of returning to the Royal City, he could only swallow his grievances and wear a resentful expression.

After bidding farewell to Charlotte and Sol Marron,

the three of them returned together to the Black Bulls' base.

At that moment, Vanessa and Noelle were laughing so brightly that their mouths were nearly dislocated.

However,

just as Finral and the others wondered why they were so happy, Carl crept in through the door.

His delicate face paired with the elaborate and gorgeous dress,

struck Finral's heart almost instantly.

His eyes went blank as he looked at Carl.

"This beautiful lady, may I ask who you're looking for?"

Finral's eyes were filled with delight.

He had never held much hope for the Black Bulls bunch to begin with.

Vanessa was a hard-drinking mature beauty, while Noelle was a tsundere.

He believed he had no chance of winning either of them over.

But now, a tall beauty at least six feet tall had suddenly appeared, wearing a graceful and luxurious dress.

Finral immediately displayed every bit of noble etiquette he possessed.

Carl, however, had a face full of black lines. He looked toward Vanessa and Noelle, who were already bent over laughing.

Then Carl suddenly threw a punch.

A white wave of air surged outward.

Finral was instantly knocked to the ground.

He looked utterly bewildered.

But when he raised his head and clearly saw Carl's face, his entire body froze.

His finger trembled, and his voice shook.

"Y-you... you, you...

Carl?!"

"How could you deceive my feelings!"

Like an innocent young girl who had been tricked, Finral burst into tears.

What was wrong with pursuing beautiful women?

But he had never imagined that one day, he would end up pursuing Carl.

This was simply an unforgivable mistake.

At that moment, Asta, Magna, and the others also rushed back.

After learning what had happened, Asta immediately laughed so hard he doubled over.

Finral was on the verge of depression, curled up in a shadowy corner and sobbing soundlessly.

Carl's outstanding outfit also drew amazed clicks of the tongue from everyone.

Asta even came over, wanting to touch Carl's skirt.

Carl answered with a spinning kick that sent him straight to the ground.

Asta instantly fell silent.

He looked up at Carl, his eyes full of disbelief.

"Wait...

You only went out for a bit. Why does it feel like you've gotten stronger again?!"

"Then why is my progress so slow when I'm with Magna?!"

Magna scratched his head from the side.

"Wait, how is that somehow my fault?"

Asta wailed and insisted that Carl teach him a move or two.

Just then, Yami finally emerged from the bathroom.

He looked at the chaotic scene before him, a thoughtful expression appearing on his face.

Then he gave Carl and the others a thumbs-up.

"The Royal Capital has already sent a magic message."

"This time, Carl, you guys did great."

"Vanessa, Noelle, I heard you've both grown stronger. That's very good."

As Yami spoke, his gaze landed on Carl, and he suddenly froze.

"Wait...

Carl, are you this convincing as a woman?"

"Where did you dig up that skirt? Why does it feel strangely familiar?"

He paused.

"Oh, right. Since you've all grown, there's a new dungeon mission that needs you to complete it."
