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

Episode 158: Outing Until Dinner. (Let's make a trench coat.)

Takeo and the others arrived at the tailor, and when they entered the store,

"Lady Alice, Lady Kitamizato, welcome.

The manager says hello.

"I came earlier, but I'm sorry.

"Again, excuse me.

and Alice and Takeo reply.

"And Lady Layla!?

"Mr. Store Manager, hiccup.

"More and more, you'll be beautiful. You look fine and most importantly.

And who are you?

"To my husband, my stepfather.

Although the manager often hardens into Leila's words.

"... is it private?

"Yeah, don't tell Mr. Takeo.

"I'm in awe.

"Store manager, can you make a bespoke trench coat for these three?

"Huh!?

The manager sees Leila and the three others.

"Uh... can't you?

Takeo says worryingly.

"No, there is no annihilation either. We will be happy to make it too.

Okay, let's get measurements ready in the back.

The clerk, who was close to the word, heads to the back.

"And later... I'm going to say selfish..."

"Yes, what would it be?

"You also said these three want it now.

I also want you to sell it for commercial use that you just made... "

The manager loses words in surprise.

"... is it difficult?

Takeo asked worryingly.

"No! I'm fine.

Just so you know, we have two outfits available at a time, you can take whatever size you want.

"... you won't take it, will you? Because I'll pay you right.

"Um, I'll bring you some proper money.

"That's right.

"Or... I'm in awe.

I'll bring it for commercial use soon.

The manager disappears into the back for a small run, sweating.

"What are you in such a hurry..."

Takeo whines as he drops off the manager.

Alice and Leila were grinning bitterly watching Takeo like that.

and the store manager comes back from the back with a trench coat for commercial use.

"Now that you're ready to take your measurements, shall we go from Lady Leila?

"Okay. Alice's coming too, right?

and Layla went with Alice in the back.

"By the way, Master Kitamizato.

"What is it?

"It's a down jacket and vest.

"Yes."

"Done.

"Yes?"

"The prototype is over.

"You're as fast as ever.

"Can you wear it?

"Yeah, I don't mind.

and the manager brings it from behind the counter.

Takeo is shocked when he says, "You were willing to make me wear it."

Unlike nylon when I tried weaving the feathers, the fabric solidity is somewhat out but I didn't really care.

"You're more comfortable than I imagined.

Takeo nods as if convinced.

"Takeo, what's that?

King Azpar asks with interest.

"My conceived clothes, this is the second one.

Would you like to try it on?

"Oh, I want to wear it.

And His Majesty weaves the things Takeo takes off.

"Oh... that's warm... I see... ho..."

And he nodded, something that impressed him.

And King Azpar takes it off and William also tries it on.

"This is warm and good.

You're separate from the trench coat again.

Mr. Takeo, what kind of person is this for?

"I hoped the people working in agriculture, forestry, and selling in stores would be able to work warmly.

"Good. Takeo, that's a good idea.

"Right.

The two snort yeah yeah.

"We were discussing this morning whether to create an anniversary across the city with the proposal of Master Kitamizato.

"Ho, with the anniversary. Holidays?"

"No, no, no, a Count can't make a national holiday, can he?

For example, I branded what day of next month as Labor Appreciation Day and just wished my child could do it on the day I thank my parents.

I thought of the sight of a little kid giving his wrapped down vest by saying 'thank you all the time' to his father.

The two of them imagine the sight... nodding.

"That's a good sight.

"Yeah, Mr. Takeo's idea is based on people's smiles.

"Right.

Because smiles make other people smile when they watch.

I wish I could meet all kinds of smiles all over the city that day.

"Yeah, right.

"Actually, there was a union meeting after this.

The manager suddenly says that.

"Heh, the other tailors with you?

"Yes. That's a lot of post-processing about the trench coat in the meantime.

So, Dear Kitamizato. May I give you an earlier anniversary description in that seat?

"You don't mind, do you? Because it will be a way to promote the city.

I don't know what kind of union this city has, but...

It should involve not only tailors, but also restaurants, green fruit shops and grocery stores.

"Takeo, don't you want me to join you so much that you can't pack it up?

King Azpar asks worryingly.

"Hmm? It's not like a festival, so isn't it a problem?

I'm not doing anything on the street, and each store just brands it independently, so...

Right. For example, if you are a restaurant, the soup is free that day, or if you bring parents and children, you get 30% off.

Is this product half price for green fruit shops and groceries?

'Tell Thank You' has a rough theme, but the point is, it's a crowd theme, so I'll have the rest done in the store.

Profitably, well, it could be a ton if someone who has gathered in that special product buys something else...

It's not a bad story that they made sales.

"I see... that's a plan that isn't just about emotions.

"Business and emotion are intimate, but as soon as you do business with emotion alone, the store will crumble.

Traders are cynical around here because it's basically profitable to do business.

Takeo laughs bitterly.
