A Mid-level (Middle-aged) Office Worker’s Laid-Back Industrial Revolution in Another World

"This is why I didn't approve of the" trench coat "other than what I made in this store.

"Stop them from lining up similar products of the same name. You said.

"Yeah. That's because it might go in a different direction from what I think of concepts.

Alice said, "Ha? I think."

"I make this' trench coat 'not to dress myself, but to protect the lives of those who wear it.

It's increasing functionality and extremely lowering the design.

Soldiers sometimes go to extremely cold places.

Unfortunately, you will have your life scattered in battle. But dying of illness shouldn't be a nostalgia.

I want to make clothes to minimize the temperature drop that can cause the disease.

I think it's worth having one or more of them back from the battlefield and even one of them made this coat just to say 'That coat was good'.

Everyone leaks a "ho" sigh.

"Soldier's clothing today focuses on lightness and ease of movement.

That is because we believe that it is possible to survive easier to move.

In that regard, Kitamizato's 'trench coat' is made from a different perspective.

Maintaining strength while traveling, not during battle, is the main objective.

and the store manager explains.

"Yeah. But it doesn't make sense if the ease of movement is significantly reduced for the purpose of maintaining strength.

Ease of movement and thermal insulation. I ask all of you here for the perfect balance of this conflicting philosophy.

Slowness wants to make you realize that 'trench coat' = the main equipment that protects the soldier's body temperature.

"I see. You fix something called a trench coat.

Alice looks convinced.

"By the way. The prototype you are getting now is not for commercial use.

"Really?

"This is a dedicated trench coat that can only be worn by me and those in the Elvis family and those authorized by both of them.

"Yes? Weren't you suppressing the price?

"We'll only make four commercial bases. It's for soldiers only, though.

But wouldn't it be nice if I or the Elvis family could make something finer than that?

Besides, you need to make one of the best materials and the best artisan arms available to maximize ease of movement and thermal insulation.

"Huh? Why?

"Because it will be quicker to build one end of the finest model and then verify how far you can lower quality and price.

The clerks nod, yeah.

"So. Alice, lady, please cooperate.

"What?" and Alice makes a face that she doesn't know.

"Alice, let's make a trench coat just for the lady. I would rather make it than...

Takeo tells Alice frankly.

and Alice is held beside her by the clerk who finishes her small pause.

"Huh?... Um!?... a little..."

"Miss Alice. Measurements."

I get pulled by cheats.

"Ah! I have something in my chair that I received from an earlier store, so look!

and Alice was taken to the back screaming.

------------------------

One carton in the chair left.

I opened it and it contained glasses, a book and a ring.

Ring????

For now. Wear glasses as the ring stays in a cardboard box.

Yeah. It looks fine.

Next, retrieve the book you were in with and turn the page appropriately.

"Ooh. I can read. I can read it." Takeo rejoiced inside.

and there comes the clerk with the paper.

"It will be a draft contract.

Takeo confirmed the contract.

------------------------

Alice returns from the back after a while.

"Miss Alice. Welcome back."

"Yes. I'm back...

... good glasses.

Alice is pulling shivers.

"You can laugh, right?

"No."

And it sounds like fun.

------------------------

The manager comes to Takeo and Alice.

"Dear Kitamizato and Miss Alice, we plan to be able to do the trench coat in three days.

"Okay. Then you're going to be able to take it with what I can do with my suit.

"Yes. And are you glad you made a coat dedicated to soldiers without the approval of Count Elvis?

"Oh. You haven't gotten any recognition from Count Elvis.

Maybe I'll say no.

"Yes... right?

The manager seems anxious.

"Then I'll change the way I sell it.

"Huh?"

"Should we just sell it as soldier-only from the civilian population?

Plus, not here. But you just have to sell it in a different place.

It won't be a big problem.

"Dear Takeo... it's..."

"Well, well. If it doesn't work. I can't help thinking about it now.

We'll discuss it again then.

"Okay.

"The contract will be brought back today.

If you have a fix, let me drop by tomorrow or the day after to pack the contents.

"I see that too.

"Bye. Lady Alice. Shall we go home?

and Takeo urges, Takeo and Alice take their seats.

Takeo, by the way, hands on the manager.

"Ha?" the manager looks at Takeo's hand.

"Where I was, one of the greeting actions is to gently hold each other's hands.

This is to show friendship with each other.

The manager comes up with his hands.

Takeo shakes hands firmly.

"Store manager. Nice to meet you.

"Welcome. Best wishes.

and the two exchange greetings.

Takeo and Alice returned to Elvis Mansion.
