Tensei Shite Inaka de Slowlife wo Okuritai

Chapter 160: Choosing Kagura Clothes

「Well then, let’s immediately go shopping」

「Please wait a moment」

We’ve got such a strong helper called women, so I was going to head to the shop immediately, but I was stopped by Ilya.

「What’s wrong?」

「Alfried-sama, usually you also bought stuff from Toriela Company, right?」

「That’s right?」

The relationship between the Slowlett’s House and Tori’s family has been continuing for many years.

And Tori’s Firm has also grown bigger recently, so we basically still bought things from Tori.

「Have you invited him over to your mansion to buy clothes?」

「Un, we have, so?」

「Aah, I see! Then we can buy Kagura clothes with the correct size with that, right?」

「That’s right!」

Aleutia look impressed while Ilya nodded in satisfaction.

I don’t understand what these two are talking about, though?

「Just what are you two talking about?」

When I’m tilting my head in confusion, Roomba asked them - perhaps he’s also wondering about it.

「It means that we will be able to know about Elna-sama and Eleonora-sama’s body size if we ask Toriela’s employees since the Slowlett family had brought clothes from them you know」

「Do they remember each customer’s body size?」

「Toriela’s Company has a good relationship with Slowlett House after all. So they should probably know and remember about every small detail of the family 」

I see, we often buy clothes from Tori.

So it’s natural that they know about something like our sizes and if they told them the data, then we can buy Kagura clothes with the right sizes for the souvenirs.

I know about the approximate height and clothes size of Elna-kaasan, Eleonora-neesan, and the others, but as for their exact numbers and details of the size, I have no idea.

As you would be expected from the same noble as me, Ilya. She understands the relationship between nobles and merchants.

「Yosh, let’s ask Tori about Elna and the other’s body size!」

「「You can’t do that!」」

Roomba was convinced by Ilya’s explanation and was about to ask Tori’s employees immediately to ask them, but then he was stopped by the two women.

Naturally, even I who is a bit insensitive know about the reason why he was stopped.

「You don’t have the delicacy to think of asking about women’s body size!」

「This is information only us - women who are the same as them - can know!」

「Ah? Ooh, is that so! Okay!」

Roomba unconsciously nodded while retreating as Ilya and Aleutia said that with vigor.

As expected, it appears that Roomba also lost to the unfamiliar vigor from these women.

「We’re going to ask them so the two of you wait here!」

Ilya and Aleutia walked away to find the people of the Company after saying that to us.

「……women are really difficult to understand」

「That’s because they have their unique sense of values and rules」

◆

After getting the information about Elna-kaasan and the other’s body size from the female employees, we immediately went to the clothes shop.

「Welcome. Ah, it’s the customers that have visited us the other day」

「We’re here to buy Kagura clothes for souvenirs today!」

「Thank you very much」

We came to the shop where we purchased our Kagura clothes before 『Clothes Shop Fuji』.

The employee looks happy, perhaps it’s because we’re all wearing the Kagura clothes that we bought here.

「Well then, let’s choose our Kagura clothes first! After that is done, we’re going to choose Kagura clothes for Alfried-sama’s family, all right!」

「I understand」

Aleutia probably wants to quickly buy clothes for themselves first. I knew it, but I don’t want to point that out to her since I thought that it would be thoughtless of me, so I obediently nodded.

Ilya also wryly smiles at that.

「Well then let us show you around, customers」

We - the male team - are separated from the female team and are led to another place by the employee.

We were led to the same backroom as the last time and arrived at a room that was filled with a lot of Kagura clothes that has calm, soft colors.

「I think I want to buy one more jinbei, what about Roomba?」

I want to buy one more jinbei for myself while buying the souvenirs from the start. But, I don’t know about Roomba.

「This jinbei-thing is cool and easy for me to move in! I will also buy one more!」

「I mean, it’s going to be summer by the time we return to Koryatt villageー. It’s going to be comfortable to wear jinbei at that time」

It’s the seventh month right now. And since Kagura is close to the beach, it still feels quite cool due to the sea breeze.

However, after two weeks of travel, it’s certainly going to be summer already by the time we return to Koryatt village.

The close-fitting kimono for men doesn’t suit me. Those things should be worn by Nord-tousan and Sylvio-niisan.

「Al, what color of jinbei are you going to choose this time?」

「Hmーm, I actually wanted to get the one like Roomba, a grayish one, seeー. It’s a calming color」

「Oohー! What a coincidence! I just thought that I want a dark blue one like Al’s!」

Roomba cheerfully said that as soon as he heard my answer.

What the, so the both of us are envious of the jinbei’s color?

Roomba and I looked at each other’s clothes and faces, then we laugh.

「In that case, I will bring jinbeis with each of your sizes 」

The employee-san start to prepare our jinbeis while smiling, perhaps she’s been listening to our conversation.

As long as we, men already decided what we wanted, we can do the shopping quickly.

The shopping is finished after we traded our jinbei color and quickly tried the clothes.

We’re currently looking at the Kagura clothes while sitting down comfortably inside a tatami space.

「Is Roomba not interested in those close-fitting kimono?」

「……it looks like it’s going to be inconvenient wearing that」

Roomba answered while frowning when I tried to ask him out of curiosity.

He got the same mindset as me in this area.

And so we sit down for some time while chatting like that. The employee-san took care of us as they brought some tea.

「Please have some tea」

「Those people are still not done yet?」

「It appears that they are not sure of which color to choose」

Employee-san answers while smiling wryly to Roomba’s question.

It’s great they brought tea for us since it seems that Aleutia and Ilya will still take a long time to choose the clothes.

「Ilya-sama said that if customers are free why don’t customers please help choose clothes for Nord-sama and Sylvio-sama, but…… what would you like to do, customers?」

Just while we were still drinking tea in amazement, employee-san gingerly asked us.

「Then, let’s choose some Kagura clothes for Nord-tousan and Sylvio-niisan」

「Yeah! We‘re free anyway」

We can choose Kagura clothes for them, but whether or not they’re going to be worn by them is no matter for us. We’re just doing it while having nothing to do after all.

We go back to choosing Kagura clothes again after we finished drinking the tea.

「It would probably fine buying jinbei for Nord and Sylvio, right」

「As for Nord-tousan, he might be happy with the jinbei, but I feel that Elna-kaasan won’t be happy about it」

I mean, even back in the royal capital, Nord-tousan was dragged around by Elna-kaasan, being made to try lots of stylish clothes. I think I’m going to buy clothes that are not only for good practicality but also look good.

「Women are also involved in the choosing of clothes for men, huh」

「I wonder if that’s what it means to have a family?」

We look at the clothes being displayed while grumbling.

「In the end the color that matches with the blonde Nord-tousan and Sylvio-niisan is bluish colors, isn’t it? Those two are slender, they won’t look good in black or gray」

「Yeah. Anyway, it looks like it won’t suit them when they wear jinbei and be in full black if they wore a black mantle 」

We’re not that knowledgeable about fashion, so we’re deciding it by feeling.

In that way, Roomba and I started to choose suitable jinbeis with bluish colors.

Since Sylvio-niisan and Nord-tousan have similar hair colors and slender figures, we can choose the jinbeis together for both of them so it’s easy.

Like that, Roomba and I choose jinbei and also kimono for Nord-tousan.

And we chose them immediately after we decide to do so. Therefore, we finished selecting the souvenirs early.

After they listened about the size adjustment and the like from Ilya and Aleutia, we just have to leave it to the employee-san to take care of it.

「What about Ilya and Aleutia?」

「………err, they are now trying the clothes………」

Employee-san answered my question while looking troubled.

Oh well, women also take time in trying clothes, that’s the way it isー.

Roomba and I became sullen after hearing that, then we lay down on the tatami.

At that moment, I caught sight of a dark gray jinbei.

「That jinbei, I think Eleonora-neesan is going to like it」

「A jinbei is easy to move in clothes after all. If it were Eleonora, she’s going to be happy with that rather than with a kimono」

Eleonora-neesan always wears clothes that are easy to move in even inside the mansion.

My intuition told me that Eleonora-neesan will be pleased with this.

「Ummー, do you have any jinbei for women?」

「……eh? A woman wearing jinbei, is it? Women don’t wear jinbei here………」

Employee-san has this ‘What are you talking about?’-face when I asked them that.

There is apparently no culture of women wearing jinbei like in my previous life.

「I think it’s fine for women to wear jinbei though」

「Right!? It looks uncomfortable for them if they always wear something like kimono or layered clothing!」

Roomba smiles as he agrees with my opinion.

「……I never thought about it」

Employee-san muttered with a solemn expression but since there are no jinbei for women, then I guess the one for men is fine then.

Even if I don’t like it, I’ve seen Eleonora-neesan every day so I roughly know about her body shape. And jinbei would be the same for her since there’s nothing on her chest.

Let’s buy jinbei for men as a souvenir for Eleonora-neesan for now.
