A Mid-level (Middle-aged) Office Worker’s Laid-Back Industrial Revolution in Another World
Episode 24: At the Tailor. Let's make a suit.
Takeo and Alice arrived at the tailor.
Once inside the store.
"Miss Alice, welcome.
The clerk says.
"Hello, I'd like you to tailor this one's clothes today.
"Okay.
"I say Takeo Kitamizato.
and Takeo, thankfully, says.
"What kind of clothes do you make?
"Could you just duplicate the clothes you're wearing right now?
"... it feels like butler clothes, doesn't it?
"Yes. I call this a suit.
and Takeo takes off his jacket and hands it over.
"... hmm?... I see... ho..."
and the clerk mutters, checking his jacket.
"Customer. This can stir your imagination.
After all, Takeo wondered if civilization was different and thought differently about clothing.
"The whole thing makes storage on the inside of clothes, even if you're working on making it look skinny.
Plus, the interior uses something that feels good apart from the exterior fabric.
It combines appearance and function.
"Use similar fabrics. The color is black, please.
In how many days can you do it?
"Right... three days, right?
"Okay.
And make the same thing with your pants and the shirt you're wearing right now.
"Okay.
"How much will it cost?
"Right... Kim 2 Ma"
"I'll make three clothes for you.
Takeo looks directly at the clerk again.
"... then with 5 pieces of gold and 2 pieces of silver.
This clerk replies with just a few thoughts.
"That's okay.
But I don't have any matches right now, so please give me two pieces of gold as a deposit.
The rest will be paid upon receipt.
"Okay. Alice, I'm referring you to the lady, so I don't mind this one.
Please wait while I prepare my measurements in the back.
and the clerk goes down.
------------------------
"Here, you didn't stick.
Alice expressed her doubts.
"No, the clerk answered immediately, so I was just wondering if I could pull any further.
You gave me a decent 10% discount, right?
"Is that what it is?
and Alice wonders.
------------------------
"Now that you're ready, come on.
Takeo and Alice take their seats.
Takeo said, "Oh? I thought," but I didn't say anything and headed to the back of the store.
Behind the store, several people were waiting.
Takeo begins to take off his Y-shirt.
"Huh!? Dear Takeo!?
and Alice holds her mouth as she blushes.
"You have to take it off because you're going to measure it, right?
Takeo answers.
"No, no. Measurements would keep them on, wouldn't they?
and Alice also answers.
"No. My request is for replication.
So the clerk must have taken a little prep time, huh?
When you take off your Y-shirt and give it to the clerk, saying,
"Right.
And the clerk also answers as he receives it.
"... Miss Alice... I'd like to take off my pants..."
Takeo tells Alice watching her change of clothes cancer when she puts her hand on her pants.
"Ah! I'm sorry!
and Alice turns sideways.
... isn't your face looking this way, even on the side?
... Well, it wouldn't be funny to see a 35-year-old man in underwear.
and decided to ignore Alice.
Takeo takes off his pants and gives them to the clerk.
"It will take a quick measurement.
and the people who refrained from doing so start measuring.
The clerk brings the long coat and gives it to Takeo.
"By the way, do you have a coat for soldiers?
"You do.
"Can I see it?
"I don't mind.
and the clerk goes one end back and comes right back with one.
"Here will be a coat for soldiers.
And what a poncho it was to be shown.
"I don't have any of this," Takeo said, unwittingly wanting to hold his head.
"... how much does it cost to design a coat?
"Right... is it 4-5 pieces of gold..."
"... is that right? That's expensive.
and Takeo is disappointed, but the coat he wants to make is on his head, so he switches his head to try to make it.
"... So can you let me do the design?
"Okay. Create your ideal coat."
The clerk seems a little surprised to ride.
"Miss Alice, I'm sorry, but I think it'll take a little while.
While you're at it, Alice, could you look at the cafe that your lady wants to go to?
I would appreciate it if you would finally accept my glasses.
"Okay. Then I'll take your seat off a little bit.
and took a seat and left.
------------------------
Takeo told the clerk as he dropped Alice off.
"Shall we begin?
But I thought you'd look a little more unpleasant, but it felt like you had me admitting to making it unexpectedly sooo much?
"Yeah. I've never seen that 'suit' before, so I figured it would be something new that customers never even saw the coat they make.
"That's... I hope so.
Even if that curiosity doesn't turn into disappointment.
Takeo and the clerk laughed.
"The coat I want you to make says' trench coat '.
