Howard agreed as he told the trio that the carriage will be prepared tomorrow morning and they may leave as soon as it's ready. Furthermore, he also told them that Count is also willing to prepare them six days' worth of food supply for them should they depart the town.
After they consulted with the chamberlain of Chadena, the group also went to the keep armory for the procurement of Isamu's full set of plate armor, a privilege that only Knights can avail.
The keep armorer who is stationed inside the armory acknowledged the cat-folk's inquiries as he allowed the newly dubbed knight to pick any armor of his choosing as long as he has the required attributes and level to equip it.
After around half an hour of choosing, Isamu was able to choose the armor of his liking. Indeed, upon witnessing the cat-folk, Gray and the others could not help but be impressed by the new get-up that indeed is fitting for a Knight.
Isamu is now clad in as what Knights are supposed to. A red tabard with the insignia of a lion covers his plate cuirass, with a pair of fairly huge pauldrons on his broad shoulders. He is also clad in a pair of gauntlets and boots of the same material. A brown belt is witnessed on his waist, supporting the tabard that is all the way down that also covered his plate leggings in a long skirt-like fashion. The type of helmet that he is wearing is a bascinet, a plate headgear with multiple small holes on the rounded visor cover that allows the opening and closing as per the Knight's convenience.
The attributes of the armor are quite impressive as Isamu reviewed each piece of equipment inside his Inventory.

'Heh, the description seemed to be redundant.' Isamu commented upon reading each of the item's description of his new pieces of equipment.
"Wow, looking good my brave, noble knight." Gray complimented merrily at seeing the cat-folk with his new look.
'Well, that certainly is a huge improvement, I admit.' Were Selena's telepathic comments to the cat-folk.
"Now that I think about it, I too have a set of plate armor inside my Inventory that I got from the Bandit Boss. Let me try it on." Gray muttered as he opened his Inventory to search for the armor and its other parts.
u003cBlack Wolven Surcoat over Plate Cuirassu003e
u003cEpic Chestpieceu003e
Attribute Requirement: 44 Strength, 31 Endurance
Level Requirement: 20
Armor Rating: 119
Enchantments: +11 Strength, +4 Endurance
Item Description:
A cuirass once owned by the Bandit Boss of the cave of Chadena Woods. With his murder, you have gained every right of ridding him of his decent-looking plate chestpiece.
Evaluating the armor set, it suffices to say that Gray's armor is almost similar in terms of tier, armor rating, enchantment, and attribute and level requirements. The only little difference is that Isamu's chestpiece had the upper hand, having the Speech bonus. In the case of the rest of the plated equipment of the elf, the only notable difference is the name, with the absence of the words 'Chadena Knight'. Nevertheless, both equipment is almost the same in general. Additionally, Gray's headgear is an enclosed helmet, a great helm to be more specific.
With Gray possessing the skill of u003cArcane Physiqueu003e, he was able to fulfill the Strength requirement of his own equipment, thus allowing him to equip all of the armor's pieces.
Excluding the enclosed helmet that he chose not to wear, Gray is now clad in the same armor that the Bandit Boss has worn from their encounter at the cave. A fact worth noting is that the Bandit Boss himself was big and the same thing naturally applied to his armor. Despite all that, the moment when Gray equipped the plate armor that was covered in a surcoat, it flawlessly fitted to his body, thus it is not an issue in terms of size, something very similar to the system of clothing in a typical RPG.
Gray remembered that he questioned about such matter months ago during his apprenticeship when Rarsu asked him to wear a robe that's smaller than his body. His doubts were all cleared up when the said robe hugged his figure perfectly without any issue. Rarsu explained that it was the System that's responsible for such a practical phenomenon. This also means that tailors and blacksmiths won't have to worry about their client's size and just proceed in crafting or making the gear with fewer worries.
Such is one of the amenity of the System, granted solely by the Divine System Goddess Sylvia into this land.
Although, there are limitations like certain age-groups are only allowed to wear a category of clothing. Meaning clothes that are meant for children cannot be worn by adults and vice versa. The System ensures that such regulations are followed. There are some exceptions however where the System allowed such limitations to be bypassed, like in Selena's case where she's permitted to wear any kind of robes despite her status. After all, the System can be quite flexible at all times and sometimes is unpredictable.
"Nice, the same can be said about you, Gray, uh I mean… my lord." Isamu smiled as he was now a bit stiff in his way of speaking, unlike before. That definitely was not gone unnoticed by the new Baron as he quickly realized why the cat-folk is talking that way.
"Relax Isamu," Gray assured him while tapping the cat-folk's shoulder in a friendly manner. "Even if I'm now among the nobility, you can still address me like the way you used to back when I was a commoner. There's no need for you to go to the trouble of changing your manner of conversing. And frankly speaking, I find it weird that you're doing it, given our history."
[+2 GOOD], [+2 CHAOS]
"Do you mean that?" Isamu was slightly taken aback by the elf's kind gesture. After Gray confirmed the cat-folk's doubts with a nod, the latter's demeanor instantly shifted to a more cheerful one, just like always. "Well, if that's your command, then I'm fucking relieved, hahaha. Calling you my lord or Baron at all times is definitely awkward for me and will take time to get used to. I'm glad that's out of the way."
[+1 CHAOS]
With all of their business at the Lion's Keep finally finished, the quartet took their leave from the castle grounds, with the guards and other folks now greeting them all with utmost respect upon seeing the rose badge that the siblings worn and Isamu with his luxurious new armor as they now trek at the streets of the Administration district.
"Huh, I could get used to this." Gray grinned with pride upon seeing the looks of respect and acknowledgment that he and his group is receiving from the people in his vicinity.
"So, are we going to leave tomorrow then?" Isamu asked the elf while on their walk.
"Well, we did tell the Count that we'll leave as soon as we can." Gray, now back at wearing his robes, nodded in agreement. "I'm excited to see what Flocaster has to offer. I heard many good things about the town, being the center of entertainment of Whitemoor due to the presence of the Bardic University. To answer your question, yes, we'll leave tomorrow morning if it's alright with you two."
"*Chirp!!*" They all heard Lily tweeting from above as she descended and made her spot at Gray's right shoulder.
"Make that three then, I suppose it's safe to say that this little birdie is going with me," Gray commented nonchalantly.
"I have no objections," Isamu responded with a playful smirk. "As you are my friend, you are also my lord. Wherever you go, I shall follow you and my blade shall be at your constant side."
Gray nodded happily at the cat-folk's favorable answer and turned his attention next to the Sentinel girl.
'Really? Isn't my answer obvious?' Selena decided to be a sassy little girl as she made her remarks. That, and she also needed to keep an eye on Lily for any suspicious behavior.
"Alright, then it's decided." Gray declared with a huge grin after hearing all of his companions' answers. "We leave for Flocaster tomorrow morning. Prepare accordingly."
"Got it." Isamu nodded in agreement. "I have to notify Sarah about the news. Hopefully, she won't be disheartened by my departure too much."
"Don't worry, it's not like we're going to stay there for very long," Gray assured his cat-folk friend and knight. "After meeting up with the headmaster and having some little fun at the festival, then we'll come back. Hopefully, the headmaster won't be so constricting in his time with me."
After everything is said and done, the group disbanded, going about with their own business and affairs in preparation for leaving the town tomorrow by carriage.
