A Mid-level (Middle-aged) Office Worker’s Laid-Back Industrial Revolution in Another World
Episode 353: Make a shirt out of a tailor in Wangdu.
"Your Highness Amy, welcome.
The clerk greets Amy as she enters the tailor of the royal family.
"Mr. Store Manager, I'm sorry to bother you. Were you two from Elvis territory here first?
Amy responds to the manager.
"Yes, there you are.
I have also received a letter in advance from His Highness William, saying, 'Let me make as many as I want'.
"I just like..."
I see Takeo with Amy smiling bitterly.
"Two shirts would suffice.
Takeo also returns a bitter laugh.
"Two people are waiting in the back.
"Okay.
Okay, wait a minute.
"" Okay.
Alice and Amy nodded and Takeo headed behind the store.
"Really, you've thought about something that sounds interesting again.
"I was just wondering if I could change it from clothes if I could have a test platoon.
Takeo and manager Ralph come back from the back as they talk.
"Dear Takeo, that was quick.
"Yes, I'm back.
They have two shirts, so they can make them with about one bell.
"Huh? You can do it a lot faster than you thought!
Amy asks with surprise to manager Ralph.
"Yes, Your Highness.
The materials that the artisans who came with me brought to Wang Du also contained the contents of the shirt of Master Kitamizato, so while we waited, we were finishing the rough design of buttons, collars and cuffs.
Ralph replies with pleasure.
"So I'd like to make some tea here until I can, would you mind?
"Yes, I'm in awe. We will be ready.
The manager gave instructions to the clerk to prepare chairs and desks so that everyone could have tea.
Simple rooms are quickly available, and Takeo and his line and manager Ralph are in their seats to make it perfect.
"Lord Kitamizato, you two seemed to have fun talking when you came back from the back, what?
Andersen asks.
"No, we were talking about the exam platoon outfit.
"Is that an outfit?
Andersen said, "With clothes?" and lean his neck.
"Yeah, I was wondering...
Excuse me, can you stand one of the crew?
"Yes."
A member of the third magic detachment sitting takes a seat.
"You think the military uniforms of the Wang Capital people are flashy, don't you?
Takeo says as he arms up.
"Huh? Is this it?
The Wang Du Defense Corps is based on bright blue, but he's still a suppressive eye...
Besides, it is common to use flashy primary colors because it is easy to identify enemy allies in mixed warfare.
Andersen says wonderfully.
"Is that what it is...
Do you basically use the primary color of a bright system?
"Yes. I think the regional noble army uses yellow or red... in what shades in Elvis territory?
"We only have red cuffs on our blue top.
Your underwear is white, right?
"I see that's plain.
Amy is surprised at Alice's explanation.
"So... plain?
Takeo tilts his neck.
"What kind of things does Master Takeo want to make?
Alice asks.
"... I'm worried that you'll all accept...
I imagine earthy like loess.
"" Huh!?
Everyone is surprised.
"... Mr. Takeo, why did you think that?
Amy asks.
"No, the exam platoon tests their weapons normally, but they want to make battle clothes thinking they'd like to dress as discreet as possible because they might do a reconnaissance mission when things go wrong.
This is what it looks like.
Takeo writes an image on the paper that was around him.
It was an upper and lower khaki colored British style military uniform.
Takeo said, "That? I think."
Everyone's not responding well.
"Mm-hmm... Master Takeo, you have pockets on both sides and on both breasts.
There's also a stripe on your shoulder, like a trench coat, which seems to fit the trench coat, but...
I don't think the colors are too plain for everyone, do they?
Alice speaks for everyone and nods at other faces.
"Really...
So, how about this?
Takeo now writes collar-wrapped naval clothing.
"Is it a gold button on white... it's simple.
But... as for military uniforms, you don't have a bit.
"Um... is that right?
Takeo wondered, "Don't you have a concept of clothing to delay discovery?"
"Dear Kitamizato, what will you do?
Store manager Ralph asks with a bitter smile.
"You can't say anything.
I'm not going to do this right now, so maybe you'll make it for me for personal use when I get back to Elvis Mansion.
Plus you want to make work clothes for practice.
This is what work clothes are like.
Takeo will write it roughly again.
"You're green fabric... this is plain.
I'm going to disapprove of you all, but... I'm in awe.
Store manager Ralph nods.
"Was Takeo's outfit plain during the battle?
Alice asks.
"Right... I do think you were flashy in the age of sword-to-sword battles.
I also think he was doing a "Red Ready" thing that aligns all the soldiers with bright red armor... armor.
"Are you ready for red?
"Yes. He said the armor where I was was was basically black.
In that, it seems, all soldiers were able to stand out on the battlefield by unifying to red.
When he stood out on the battlefield, the other big man stopped by and said he was given a more martial arts medal, but that's all he would attract enemies to, so he said, 'The red range is a testament to martial arts'.
"Hmm... the Wang Du Guard was also a full plate of red, right?
Alice asks Andersen.
"Yes, that's a red full plate.
Lord Alice has given you one, right?
As Lord Kitamizato said, the red full plate is the honor of martial arts.
"Yes. Mine is a gift from His Majesty, isn't it?
So there were people with fancy colors at Takeo's place, too.
Yet why plain?
If Alice says, "Isn't it good to stay flashy?" He asks.
"No... because the tactics have changed.
It was necessary to lurk in discreet clothing to get to the enemy's side on reconnaissance missions and in a handful.
So it turned into a pseudo-colored outfit, such as earthy or green.
Besides... I think it's more noticeable that they're all flashy around, on the contrary, right?
Takeo explains that, but he thinks, "I guess the development of small arms is the biggest transition period."
"I see.
Sure, if the surroundings were blue, red, or yellow, the soil might also stand out...
Probably not convinced by the soldiers?
Faces around me nod at Alice's words.
"Really... well, would you discuss that with Mr. Elvis and the platoon people?
Takeo nodded with a difficult face.
"With that said, Master Kitamizato.
What will you do with your title award ceremony outfit?
Store manager Ralph asks.
"Hmm?... can't we do this?
Takeo sees himself.
"Dear Takeo, no. I need a courtesy.
"Miss Alice... I don't have one, though.
"You did, then let's make it.
Store manager, please.
Alice makes an instant decision.
"Now let's make it for day and night.
Dear Kitamizato, in the back.
"... yes.
Takeo went to the back again, dismayed for some reason.
