"So I'm going to make a uniform."
"... what do you mean, Mr. Alphonse?Are you talking about uniforms? "
"No, I told you earlier. Lord Banaj has tasked the Barca Mercenaries with their work.Guarding and communicating the villages of Orient Country. "
"I heard that, but how does it lead to a uniform?"
After talking to Laura in Orient, I came back to New Balkans.
He then explained to Christina, who was there, the job offer he had received from Banaj.
Then, we propose to make a uniform.
However, Christina has the face of saying something that doesn't seem to be relevant to the two.
"Look, there are a lot of Balkan mercenaries.Me, Elvis, Ian, some of them from variants, others from this small group of nations.It's a group of people who come from different origins. "
"Well, yes, there are merchants like me."
"That's why we need to make uniforms to keep them all together.This will create a sense of unity and make it easier for others to see who the Vulcan mercenaries are at a glance. "
"I see. It's also useful for identification, right?That certainly sounds interesting. "
"Isn't that right? In fact, I think it's a good idea that Brother Ars was also giving clothes to people who belonged to the army."
"Alright, let's talk to Mr. Garius and see what kind of clothes would suit the Vulcan mercenaries."
When I explained to Christina what I wanted to do with my uniform, he immediately agreed to it.
In fact, I think this makes sense.
When I heard the request from Banaj, the first thing I thought about was the number of people I could dispatch.
The number of mercenaries in the Vulcan mercenary regiment today is not so high.
Moreover, training was still in progress, and some mercenaries were given magic tools, so not all could be sent to the villages.
So even if you send mercenaries to multiple villages, you will probably be a minority for one village.
I mean, if I succeed, I might only be able to send five or ten people.
Mercenaries who operate in a very small number of locations away from the mercenary regiment's home base.
I wondered whether they would be able to work responsibly.
Perhaps some of you will have trouble at work where you are escorting them to protect the village with your weapons.
In order not to do so, I was part of the Balkan mercenary regiment and wanted to make a uniform so that I wouldn't forget that I was in a responsible position.
As long as you feel responsible even while you're wearing that uniform.
Besides, I thought it would be better for the villagers to know at a glance who belonged to the Barca Mercenaries.
I explained this in detail to Christina and worked with Garius to create a uniform that I could see at a glance.
Ars and his brothers used to make trench coats as military uniforms for the Balkans.
However, it would be a costume for a cold climate country like Vulcania or the United Kingdom of Fontana.
Compared to the other, this group of small countries in the Orient Country gets warmer in summer.
Or is it humid or hot?
Even if you wear a trench coat in uniform, it will be too hot for anyone to wear.
Therefore, the uniforms used in the Balkan mercenary regiment were made into clothes that were slightly more recent.
However, the first goal is to have features that can be seen at a glance.
For that reason, Galius' opinion was to use color.
"I see. By using a specific color in your uniform, you mean you belong to the Vulcan Mercenaries."
"That's what this is all about. Why don't you take the color from the fresh blood of Alphonse and Norn's armor and try using bright red?"
"Very well. That way, even if Norn walks in armor, he will know that he is a member of the Balkan mercenary regiment.But is there a dye that produces such a beautiful red? "
"I think we can just use the flowers that we see in this area.It is famous as a flower that blooms at the time of sending the dead to the land of the yellow spring, but there is also something that can be used for dyeing with beautiful red. "
"Okay, let's use that.[Wash] Just be careful to dye the color so that the dye doesn't fall off when you do. "
"Of course, I will make red clothes for the Vulcan mercenary regiment."
Using Galius's opinion, he decided to make a uniform that would allow him to stay cool even in the summer, dyed bright red.
Immediately start making such clothes and line them up with the mercenaries.
Yeah, that's good, right?
The uniform, which was made to be able to be made in a relatively short period of time and worn from above other clothes, was called a thin feather.
The woven fabric is dyed red and has a red pattern on the back side.
Is this a sacred mark engraved on the body of the eye?
The scene, where everyone was neatly aligned in unified clothing, looked pretty strong and cool.
