A Chronicle of Life in a Different World

The sound of thumping and heavy rain hitting the ground and roof. The boulevard in Laval Waste City was not made of cobblestones or the like, but created puddles everywhere.

It is not more difficult to walk than I thought because there is a lot of people coming and going from time to time and it is firmly stepped on. However, it was difficult to walk in the rain, and Reus smiled bitterly.

(In these times, I want the umbrella I used in my previous life... just make a frame and stretch a cloth, so can I make it?

It is a single cloth that the walking realuse uses to avoid rain. It would rain quickly with just a cloth, but it was an excellent thing to play if it rained a little by applying monster grease.

The cloth was woven from the head like a jacket, and Eliza and Corona, who had also woven the cloth, followed the rear of the revus.

"It's raining so much...."

"That's right. It's been a long time since it rained so hard."

Eliza and Corona interact while walking to avoid puddles. Eliza, who was very vigilant, was not talking about Corona as an opponent. He usually smiled softly and lent me his clothes when he bathed in the water. It would be rude to be vigilant now.

The Reurus are on their way to the clothing store, but the corona was coming with them for a very simple reason. It's good to buy clothes for Eliza, but I hardly know Reurus about women's clothes in this world in my previous life.

If you buy clothes for women, ask the woman. That would be the most appropriate and reasonable idea. You may ask the garment clerk, but Eliza may not be able to listen with vigilance.

It was a Reurus who had brought his foot to the Adventurers' Union before, but because the rain legs were too strong, the extermination of monsters outside the town was stopped. Although there is a sentry job, the sentry in the rain is well paid, so the recruitment was already full.

As long as I was watching, I didn't have to move my body that far, so I also ran for Nicolas, the injured person, and Sharon was also contracting for a watch to assist with that. Again, Reurus thought about taking a full day off.

(But I feel like watching in the rain is going to make me feel even worse... just watch under the roof.)

Reurus wandering his gaze with such thoughts in mind. Beyond that gaze were men who were half-naked and on their doorsteps to take a natural shower called heavy rain. He sees this as a good opportunity to wash his body and get rid of dirt.

In some places, barrels and the like are placed outside the house to store rainwater. Instead of drinking it, it will be used as domestic water such as laundry. Some of the wives were washing while it was raining.

(Yeah... I've been doing similar things in Shenna Village, but people in this world do well.)

Washing your body and washing your clothes is more important than causing a cold if you get wet in the rain. Water is not free, so I don't suppose we can miss these opportunities.

Nicolas, who was badly injured in the battle against Kimira, is still not fully healed. Still, he had to work to earn support and laughed that sentry in bad weather like today was welcome. Regardless of whether or not you can use magic, you should see people in this world succeed.

Laval Waste City is surrounded by wooden fences and earthen walls, but it is also dotted with guarding bars. Usually there was no roof, but if I put on a wooden board, it would be an instant roof, and if it rained a little, it would have prevented it.

(Either way, Eliza didn't get a good rest somehow. I need to rest when I can also take a spiritual refresh....)

In that sense, yesterday's magic dog was a good temporary income. With that in mind, the Reurus is in town and does not wear the usual equipment. I was just lowering my dagger to my waist for a fine self defense.

However, only the right arm nails destroyed by the magic dog were wrapped in cloth and carried around. There is a shoe shop and a shop that handles leather products right next to the clothing shop, so I decided to have it fixed.

(Well, the fastener is broken and the hole is opened, so it will be fixed soon... right? I miss buying new ones....)

I promised Eliza I'd buy you clothes. As for Reurus, who is thinking of buying something from Corona as a thank you for going out with him in the rain, I would like you to forgive me for making new nails.

While regretting his nostalgia, Reurus repairs his nails at the shoe shop that arrived. I was scratching my heart with cold sweat, but fortunately, I heard that it could be repaired immediately with five large copper coins, and exhaled a calm breath.

"Yesterday, Reurus... are you still there? Are you still here?

"Yes, I'm finished with my business, so I'm going to look at my clothes... so I came to the corner shoe shop before that, and Eliza doesn't order shoes?

"Mm?... uhm! That's right!

Eliza, who couldn't hide her excitement, pulled her hand, but she just came to the shoe shop and suggested buying shoes. Eliza's current shoes are borrowed from the Adventurers Association and need to be returned early.

That's why Eliza measures her feet and orders her shoes. Unlike repairing your nails, it takes time to finish, but you don't have to return your shoes today or tomorrow.

Once Reurus's armor and Eliza's shoes have been ordered, it's time to step into the clothing store. I thought there would be many shoppers on rainy days, but there were many people who didn't leave the house and the shop was idle.

Reurus has visited several times, but the clothing shop is larger than the shoe shop. Still, it was smaller than the convenience store in the previous life, and the shop was about twenty tatami mats wide and lined with small places and clothes.

Clothed like a hanger without a handle made of wood branches, it is tied to a stick with a rope. Short sleeves or long sleeves change in length, but clothes are hanging with hangers that are generally in the opposite shape of "T".

Reurus doesn't know if there are any other clothing stores in Laval Waste City. Still, as far as I can tell, there were hundreds of clothes because it was a town clothing store with over a thousand inhabitants.

There are a variety of sizes and types. Besides, some of the clothes are worn out because they are second-hand clothes. After I bought them, I can only use them for the clothes of other clothes.

The hangers come back with small, lettering engravings, which would indicate the price. Reuses can barely read characters other than their own names, but they also show the type of money and how many sheets it takes to be as simple as they can tell.

--Basically, it is quite painful to need more than one large copper coin.

(But clothes are basically handmade, and I can't help it... if it's a worn cloth that can only be used for clothing, I can buy copper coins...)

The clothes that Leurus wore when he fled the village of Shena are too worn out to be sold as soon as possible. It can still be reused as a cloth or rag. Though it may be necessary to use limited resources, the former Japanese were familiar with the “wasteful spirit”.

"Wow... wow! It's full of clothes!

Eliza exclaims in childish exclamation in a narrow passage that allows one person to pass by. I don't know the exact age, but it's been a long time since Eliza escaped from Kermed's town. I'm impressed, too.

Corona's expression was gently broken by Eliza's glittering eyes looking around.

In addition to the bad weather of rain, it is bad to have a fire such as candles, and the store is very dark. Still, I could see a lot of clothes lined up, and Eliza was present from the side.

"The other side is for men, and the other side is for women. And then, from the entrance to the back, there are clothes in order of size."

Hearing Corona explain, Eliza nodded many times. And as soon as I got to the line of women's clothes, I started looking for clothes that fit my body's size.

(It's a good thing it's easy to find, but the price will change depending on the size of the clothes... Eliza will be saved in a small way)

Reurus muttered to Eliza looking for clothes close to the entrance. The quality of the cloth used is the same, but the price varies depending on the quantity. A very large Dominic, for example, would need silver coins just to buy one.

Many clothes were made of fabric with rough eyes like linen, but some of them were thought to have been knitted with cotton cloth, silk, or some creature's hair. What they have in common is that they are more expensive than those made of linen-like fabrics.

(Hmm... not so much as I can't buy one shirt for three silver coins... then six cheap shirts would be fine.)

Is it expensive because it is something you usually wear, or is it simply a rare item? In the previous life, cheaper than better quality was a priority for Reurus, who had bought a hundred yen shirt at a discount store.

Of course, quality has never surpassed good quality - but it doesn't matter if you make something of good quality without money. In that case, we have to compromise if we can serve our purpose of being of minimal quality.

Because I have little experience shopping in this world, I also look at clothes while enjoying Reurus. Then Eliza approached with something in her hand.

"Reurus, Reurus, what is this?

"Which one... nnh!?

I should have picked out some clothes, but there was something that bothered me. With that in mind, Eliza received what she offered, but desperately chewed at what was in her hand.

“Sole” in one word was a pair of pants for women. It was white pants that didn't feel as good to use. The pants were stitched with ribbons and ruffles and had a good feel.

― ― It was pants "designed like I saw in my previous life”.

I glanced at Corona unexpectedly, but Corona also looked strange. Apparently, they don't know Corona either.

(Wow... there are underwear like this in this world. But Corona doesn't seem to know... hmm? What is this? Is that a product tag?

Reurus desperately pushed his astonishment to death, but looked at a small cloth sewn on his pants and raised his eyebrows. The letters were stitched in with embroidery, but after reading it, Reus waved his eyebrows violently.

(Made in yu... the thread is loose and I can't read more. Some kind of place name? Made in Japan is good... isn't this an alphabet!?

It was a revulsion to read the characters on the tag without any discomfort, but of course it was. Because it was embroidered with the alphabet that I saw in the world I once lived in.

Perhaps an intense astonishment that will fall into three fingers since birth in this world. Pants fell out of the trembling hands of Reurus, but Eliza caught them in the air with a strange face.

"Hello, something to wear?

"Don't wear it, you bastard!

A revulsion that immediately stops Eliza from wearing pants for women. But stopping here is as good as knowing how to use the pants, and realizing that Reurus coughed up and pretended to be calm.

"That's probably it... underwear. You have a place to put your feet through, right?

That's how Reurus slaps his hips. I don't know if it would work with pants, but the word underwear and gesture should have worked.

Eliza drops her gaze on the pants she was about to wear on her head, and then sees how she slaps Reurus on the hips. He then dropped his gaze on his pants again and finally turned his gaze to his waist before raising his face.

The raised face was bright red.

"... I think there's less fabric."

I don't know what you're wearing.

That's not it.

"Oh, pumpkin pants."

"Hmm... I don't know what you're talking about."

Reurus was secretly upset and Eliza trembled at the fact that she was about to put her pants on her head.

When Eliza pointed her finger at her, she found a pair of trousers with a string around her waist. I didn't know if I should call him Pumpkin Pants or Drawers, and Reurus used the impression he had just seen.

"Mr. Reurus?

A little colder than usual, the voice of Corona. Reurus returned to me with that voice tone, feeling a large amount of cold sweat floating, but distracting from the story and sight.

"Come on, let's pick out Eliza's clothes! I'll buy you an adventurous and easy to move, and a cute one for everyday wear!

Reurus dramatically changed the story and accompanied Eliza to the women's clothing corner. It was a desperate move to escape Corona's gaze, which pierced his back.

Still, I think about something else in my head.

(Could there be others in my situation? That's right, I don't think I just flew my pants to the pinpoint of this world... and I don't like it when I do.)

There are people who have reborn like themselves. Who would say that there is no one else in a similar situation?

I don't think that only pants have shifted from underwear stores that exist somewhere on earth or underwear in women's rooms. Rather, I don't want to live in a world where such things can happen.

In that case, Reurus thought that there might have been a former Earthman who visited the world in a different way than himself. Or did you make those pants for sale after you were reincarnated?

(Rather than selling it for money, I feel like I sold something handmade... but why pants?

Leveraging the knowledge of previous generations was also contemplated by Reurus, but ambiguity in the environment and memory did not allow it. I didn't have any knowledge of underwear that I could use from the viewpoint of clothing, so I couldn't think of a revulsion.

(As far as Eliza's story and Corona's reaction are concerned, pumpkin pants seem to be mainstream, but someone just happened to make that design...?

No matter when, there are people who have heretical ideas. I don't know if they are, but there was also the possibility that some craftsman made the design experimentally.

It was a reuse to check the acquisition route with the store owner, but not only did he buy clothes that were no longer used in Laval Waste City, but he also received clothes from the outside from time to time. The pants were included in it and I thought it was an unusual form of hand wipe instead of underwear.

The owner doesn't seem to know about the previous acquisition route flowing to Laval Waste City, and the unspeakable doubts in the Reurus swell up.

In modern Japan, where mass-produced by machines and managed by products, you will know to some extent where they were made, but not in this world. Someone in a distant country doesn't know that clothes are made by hand.

There are no handlers to look into, and we will not be able to find out if there are handlers. Reurus shook his head when he thought about it.

(Even though she grew up in another country, it seems that Eliza left her family when she was little, and there may be countries where underwear like that is commonly used. I wonder if it's a coincidence... then why is the alphabet used!?

Reurus screamed in his heart when he hit the biggest problem. I can't grasp the full text because it is frayed along the way, but the word "MADE IN YU" is clearly something I saw in my previous life.

Perhaps there are places in this world where similar characters are used, but even beyond the world, the language matches and passes by accident and can only be said to be a miracle.

(I don't know... I can't confirm it, but I'm worried about asexuality...)

It's no wonder there are other ex-Earths in this world than I am reincarnated. It might even be difficult to meet, but if I could, I would have liked to meet Eliza in a different sense.

"Reurus? Didn't you pick out my clothes?

"Ahh... I'm coming."

But the world will not be narrow enough for that to happen. Reurus concluded by laughing bitterly at Eliza, who hurried her to pick out her clothes.
