A Mid-level (Middle-aged) Office Worker’s Laid-Back Industrial Revolution in Another World
Episode 581: Is the uniform flashy? Plain pie?
"Hire"
"" Morning!
Arkin and Brooke are surprised by Takeo's summary execution.
What the craftsmen brought was British style military uniforms and green space work clothes that reproduced what Takeo had written in Wang capital.
And at first glance, Takeo had decided to hire him.
"No, no! Lord Kitamizato!?
Too Instant! Wear it at least!
Brooke says so.
"... then can I make up my mind if I wear it?
Takeo says with a bitter smile.
"Huh!?... just wait!
Brooke thinks lightly but still stops.
"Yes, I understand.
Mr. Brooke hastily stopped (...) hiring to the test platoon will be on hold for now.
"Ah... thank you.
"Mr. Arkin, shouldn't uniforms be decided by the director?
"No, you can make up your mind, but since it's inaugurated, why don't you ask your people for their opinions?
Arkin gives his opinion.
"I see... Mr. Brooke, what catches you?
"Plain. The whole thing..."
"What's the problem when it's plain?
The task of the test platoon is to test weapons and discuss tactics during normal times, and in emergency situations, as Mr Andersen said.
You don't have to show your martial arts on the front lines, and you're not willing to do anything remarkable on reconnaissance missions.
Plus, if my precious men are going on a reconnaissance mission with their lives at stake, then I, the boss, have to get rid of every element of instability I can.
I take it for granted that I will have clothes that my enemies will not find as much as possible.
"Damn... it's true.
But a flashy military outfit is an honor as a soldier.
Especially the red full plate of the Wang Du Guard is an honor for martial arts!
I don't like military costumes with soil and grass colors... that... that.
That's what Brooke answers.
"Mm-hmm..."
Takeo comes up with it.
"Dear Takeo.
Surely even in the Wang capital, Mr. Andersen and his men showed difficulty.
"Yeah, right.
You don't like it that much... "
"It'll be more plain than ever.
I think everyone here denies it, don't they?
"All of you?
Takeo sends Alice a gaze.
"Yes.
Mr. Arkin and Mr. Brooke are difficult to color.
Mr. Suzune, too, right?
"Huh? I think Takeo is right.
I think it's suicidal to stand out in battle?
"Huh?"
"What do you think of Anita and Mirko?
Takeo asks Anita and Mirko because Alice is solidified.
"I think it's natural to make it the same color to lurk in the woods or in the meadows.
"I think so, too.
"Yeah?"
"Lady Alice, more than half say it's good to be plain..."
"Shh... I thought it was a difference in race!
Ah... was there Master Takeo and Mr. Suzune... a difference in life??
Alice troubles me.
"Well, if you don't like Mr. Arkin and Mr. Brooke, you won't like the other faces...
For now, the exam platoon uniform remains on hold.
"Really..."
The craftsman says sorry.
"Well, will you try it on?
"" "Huh!?
Everyone is surprised by Takeo's words.
"Ta... Master Takeo? Isn't hiring pending?
"Yeah, as a test platoon uniform... but you wouldn't mind wearing it personally, would you?
So I'm going to try it on.
"Ha... yes!
In the back, please!
Takeo and two artisans go in the back.
"Mr. Suzune... was that outfit really military uniform where Master Takeo was?
"Yes, Mr. Alice.
In the old... sword-to-sword battle, they aligned it with bright red armor, or stood out with bizarre armor, though.
Where I was or Takeo was, the soldier was basically dressed like that, and when it came to combat clothing, it should have colored that green work outfit even more camouflage.
"" "Camouflage?
Alice, Arkin and Brooke listen back.
"What can I say... there are even more difficult color schemes in the woods that are scattered green and brown.
All three of them tilted their heads.
"Yes, I wore it.
What do you think?
Takeo returns from the back.
I didn't have a hat but it was khaki up and down, slacks down and jackets up and down.
Of course, we have a shoulder strap with button fastening on the shoulder.
And he had a Y-shirt with slightly darker khaki colors and a dark tea tie (a tie-like thing to be exact).
It also resembled a naval onboard uniform.
Alice and three others stare at each other.
"Takeo, I want that too.
"Hmm? Ringtone, what's wrong?
"No, isn't it convenient to have a uniform?
So I also want you to make it for personal use... can't you?
"It's not no good.
Then you also have to make a skirt mould.
Is it about on your knees?
"Yes."
"Then you'll need to take measurements.
Measure after trying on the other one.
"Okay.
"Well, will you come and get dressed?
Takeo goes to the back again.
"Mm-hmm..."
"Lord Alice, what do you think?
Brooke calls out to Alice, who is troubled to see Takeo.
"That doesn't sound as bad as I say.
It looked refreshing, and...
What about Mr. Brooke?
"I'm no longer willing to strongly deny..."
"Mr. Takeo, what do you do with your hat?
"" Hat?
Alice and Brooke face the ringtone squeal
"Yes. I think that kind of uniform will have a hat, but what does Takeo think..."
Next to what the women were discussing in their uniforms earlier, Arkin thought, "I don't hate anything."
