A Mid-level (Middle-aged) Office Worker’s Laid-Back Industrial Revolution in Another World
Episode 212: At the grocery store.
Takeo and Alice were troubled.
This is in the grocery store 2.
"Lord, Dear Alice, this is good!
Mia entertains herself inside the Dollhouse.
There were 2 dollhouses in the store.
The first one is a log house-like wood system with a W500xD 400xH 500mm (including roof section)
The second one is in a stone shop system: W450xD360xH350mm (the roof part is terraced.
"Dear Takeo.
"Yeah."
"What Mia likes isn't the height inside low?
"Alice, do you agree with the lady?
"Yes."
What Mia enjoys is a store-based dollhouse.
The height of the room is 25 cm and the height of the Mia is critical.
When I looked at Mia's favorite, I said, "Why don't you put it that way? ♪ It's hard to say... ♪
But I don't know if I can get my head on it or not... but I guess spending time at critical heights is stressful, but...
"Mia, why don't you lay down inside and see if you're cramped?
"Yes."
"Lord, I can sleep fine.
Mia faces with a full grin from the doorway of the Dollhouse.
Both Takeo and Alice said, "Should I like Mia? I thought."
"Yes. Mia, good for you.
"So, Mia, shall we decide what the bunk inside is to be?
"Yes."
and Mia flies to Alice's shoulder and sits with her feet in the shoulder strap.
By the time I got here from the mansion, I had tried sitting on the inside chest pockets, side pockets, shoulders and head of Alice and Takeo's coat to make sure they were comfortable, but Alice's shoulders seemed good.
"By the way, what bed did Mia use in her parents' woods?
"Um... I was laying leaves.
"You're not gonna hang anything?
"The forest was not cold, though.
Mouf yesterday?... could sleep muddy.
That cloth is good.
"Did you like the blanket...
So, do you want to stop being in bed so you can get some sleep?
Soft stuff on the floor... like layering a couple of thick fabrics, making pillows and blankets...
Let's make sure food and drink is always on the roof and that the room is only a space for sleeping?
Takeo works out his concept.
"Mia, don't you have to be in bed?
"Yes.
... I've never slept with anything called a bed?
Usually on trees, under leaves, on river plains stones, in hay... "
"You don't have half the wildness.
Didn't you go home to your own house?
Takeo listens with a bitter smile at Mia's routine.
"We are woods when it comes to houses, so there are no beds in certain places.
"It's casual.
Alice also laughs bitterly.
"On the contrary, humans are stranger.
Why do you live in the same building?
"Huh?... it's..."
Alice can't answer Mia's question aggressively.
I had never had that idea because I had a home and had my own room for a normal living.
So Alice turns to Takeo and asks him for help.
"To gain peace of mind, right?
"Safe?
"Humans are timid and weak.
So... every time, I can't stand sleeping scared of my outer enemies.
Mia would have slept safely when she was in the woods, too, wouldn't she?
"I was certainly relieved.
I see... do you feel safe... okay.
Mia nods as convinced.
Takeo thought to himself, "There are many other reasons to be proud of your sense of belonging, your desire to dominate space, etc."
and tentatively decide the dollhouse and choose Mia's pillow and blanket.
Both were chosen by Mia for the comfort of her touch.
The pillows were fluffy and the blankets seemed nice.
I cut the blanket because it was for people to match Mia, but I got the rest re-sewn as Alice's kneecap.
While they were fixing it, Takeo and the others were searching for small items for themselves and killing time.
I will pay for a total of five pieces of silver coins and leave the shop to have the dollhouse and accessories brought to the mansion.
"As always, according to the grocery store, you buy too much.
"You're gonna stick around and buy that and this, right?
Takeo and Alice laugh bitterly.
"Lord, Master Alice, did you make those clothes together?
Mia says as she stares at both of them.
"Yes, Master Takeo invented it.
There's also the magic of easy enhancement.
"I'd love to wear it too!
"Huh?"
"It's good.
Alice is surprised, Takeo agrees.
"No, no, Mia's a fairy, isn't she?
I've never heard of fairies wearing clothes.
"Miss Alice.
There are no fairies in the kingdom of Azpur, are there?
How can you say it's normal for fairies not to wear clothes?
"There is no description of clothes in the book where fairies come out.
"... Mia."
"Yes."
"In Mia Forest, were fairies dressed?
"No, I'm not wearing it... because I don't have to.
"Look.
Alice looks good.
"But you want to wear Mia, don't you?
"Yes, I am a servant of the Lord.
I want to wear the same thing as the Lord.
"Mia, that's it..."
"It's good. Make as many Mia as you like, whether you wear one or two.
Takeo says happily.
Alice smiled and nodded.
