She glanced at the young gryphon dozing beside the hearth in the corner. “Does Ash even need clothes?” she muttered. “Its feathers are warmer than our cotton coats.”

“We could make it a scarf instead.” PineappleBeer wandered around the workshop, looking around with obvious curiosity.

“Good idea!” TartKing agreed instantly and snatched a leftover scrap of fabric.

“Riley, this workshop doesn’t match your camp tier at all.” PineappleBeer finally pointed out what felt off. “Did you somehow bring an entire factory through the teleport?”

“Nothing that crazy. I just got lucky with a full set of early–game tools.” Riley chuckled. “TartKing brought almost a complete baking set, didn’t she?”

She then turned to PineappleBeer. “Speaking of that, what did you bring with you at the start?”

“You gonna believe me if I say nothing?” Pineapple Beer held up both hands helplessly. “In my past life, I brought jack squat and survived purely on guts. This time around, I didn’t even get to pick my starting supplies. I just woke up in the middle of the snowfield.”

“That sounds rough for a reincarnator.” TartKing grinned.

“I’m not even sure if reincarnate is the right word.” PineappleBeer let out a quiet sigh. “I might figure it out once we get back to the twentieth floor of the dungeon.”

She had never fully understood those vague memories in her head, and she could never tell if those memories truly belonged to

her.

‘Don’t worry. We’re with you.”

Half an hour later, over twenty sets of “Cotton Home Set” lay neatly stacked on the main cabin’s wooden floor.

TartKing and Neeko received custom–designed versions, while everyone else got the standard plain style. Even Joseph and his two nephews had their own sets.

Joseph’s rough hands trembled the moment he touched the soft fabric.

‘My Lord… are these for us?”

He stroked the smooth cotton material, his eyes turning slightly red. “This is fine premium cloth. Even city nobles rarely waste this nuch cotton just for sleepwear…”

‘Just take them. None of that noble and lord nonsense–we’re all on the same team.” Riley waved it off casually. “These clothes clean themselves. You guys have been mining coal all day, so you must be filthy. You’ll sleep way more comfortably in these. They stay warm too, perfect for outdoor work.”

‘Thank you!”

Joseph and his nephews clutched their new clothes and bowed repeatedly. They silently swore absolute loyalty to their mage lord.

The tiny treant, however, showed zero interest in the soft sleepwear, leaving one extra set unclaimed.

They did not need to rush to use the spares. The extra sets would work perfectly for trading or guild storage reserves.

“Burger! Pineapple! I almost forgot these two finished gears I looted from the Gold Chest!”

TartKing pulled two pieces of equipment out of her inventory.

[Purple–Gold Wristguard (Purple–Superior)]

[Stats Strength +10, Constitution +4]

[Durability: Brand New]

[Special Effect: Block. 10% chance to negate one standard physical attack.]

[Windstride Boots (Purple–Superior)]

[Stats: Agility +12, Movement Speed +10%]

[Special Effect: Lightweight. Reduces snow movement resistance, jump height +20%.]

[Durability: Brand New]

TartKing originally planned to give the wristguard to Riley.

Riley glanced down at her slightly worn Pioneer’s Wristguard.

The Purple–Gold Wristguard had better base stats and a handy block effect, yet that bright durability bar made her frown. Every gear repair consumed proportional crafting materials, and the cost added up fast.

“You take this wristguard, Pineapple.”

Riley tossed the purple wristguard over without hesitation.

“What about you?” PineappleBeer caught it, clearly confused. “Its stats are way better than your current one.”
