Tensei Shite Inaka de Slowlife wo Okuritai

Chapter 206: Matching Jinbei

「Is everyone ready over there?」

It’s been nearly one hour since we - the men’s camp - are relaxing in the dining room wearing Kagura clothes.

And finally, Elna-kaasan knocked on the door and asked us.

Hearing Elna-kaasan, we correct our posture on our seat even while having the expression that said 「……finally」 on our faces.

Since we have so much time on our hands, Bartolo and I have been lying on the sofa so we have to tidy up the crease on our clothes.

Only one person, Nord-tousan - who is wearing close-fitting Kagura clothes - clears his throat after looking around checking that there is nothing strange about our appearance.

「Yes, we are done here. Come on in」

And, he allowed them to enter the room with a clear voice so that one will not able to notice his exhaustion.

Amazing. I can feel any worry or nervousness from him about the creases on his clothes as he sat there on his chair.

「Well then, we’re coming in」

As Elna-kaasan’s cheerful voice resonated in the room, Mina and Sara slowly pushed the door open.

There, beautiful women wearing clothes in beautiful colors entered the dining room.

My eyes which - at that moment - are seeing only colors like blue, gray, and dark colors inside the room are now overwhelmed with the vibrant color of their clothes, making me squint for a moment due to the dazzling sight.

The first person walking inside is Elna-kaasan, who is wearing light pea green Kagura clothes. A gradation of color from a soft pea green. With plenty of flowers pattern on top of each other, and various colors overlapping with one another are showing the charm of mature women.

Following behind her is Eleonora-neesan, entering while pouting.

Based on black and red, she’s wearing Kagura clothes that look like a hakama, and her reddish-brown hair is arranged more beautifully than usual. Maybe it’s because Eleonora-neesan has a beautiful hair color, so it really suits her when it matched the red color.

This time there’s also black color included, so it gives an overall tight impression and drew out the beauty of Eleonora-neesan’s dignified appearance.

I know that it’s difficult to move around in Kagura clothes, but I wish she’s wearing a more decent expression on her face since she had dressed up. That’s the only unfortunate thing.

And the next in lines to enter the room behind them are the three Slowlett house’ maids.

Sara is wearing Kagura clothes based on the green color that suits her black hair, making her look like a quiet town girl.

Honestly, I don’t think that it would be strange for her to walk on Kagura streets with that kind of appearance.

Next is Mina, wearing yellow and orange-based Kagura clothes that express energy and cheerfulness like that of the sun. With large flowers and lots of petals drawn on it, as if it was to display Mina’s lively personality.

And I guess it’s because the one wearing it also looks so happy that she looks like a flower what's with a smile on her face.

And the last one to appear is probably the head maid, Mel. I said ‘probably’ because she looks more beautiful than usual so I didn’t notice it was her for an instant,

And I said ‘probably Mel’ because of that brown hair. Her long hair is properly combed, beautifully dressed in mature, light purple color Kagura clothes.

I already thought from the start that she’s a woman with high basic specs but, I didn’t think that her specs were this high.

I almost let a 「 Who is that?」 escape from my lips.

「Elna, the clothes look great on you」

「Ufufu, thank you. Nord’s Kagura clothes also look amazing on you. I can feel the calmness and dignity different from the noble’s formal suit」

Our parents immediately praise each other as soon as they see them.

I don’t have any plan to enter their fiery atmosphere of a conversation at all, so I’m gonna leave them alone.

「Sylvio-sama looks so charming」

「The clothes look more comfortable and fresh than your usual attire」

Mina and Sara look at Sylvio-niisan with charming-looking smiles on their faces.

「Hey, what about me?」

「Alfried-sama is looking twice as dignified as usual!」

「I think it really suits you」

Mina and Sara made such comments with straight faces when I asked them that. I feel like your comments were so different from the time you commented on Sylvio-niisan……

「Hey! How come only your clothes look very easy to move in?」

As soon as Eleonora-neesan saw me and Sylvio-niisan, she asked us with an awfully dissatisfied voice.

「That’s cause it’s easier for men to get dressed compared with womenー」

「 That looks clearly different front tousan’s clothes, aren’t they! ……this, you’re just wearing short pants with a tunic tied by a string!? 」

「Hey! Don’t take them off while I’m still wearing it!?」

Eleonora-neesan suddenly came toward me and start to untied my tunic’s string when I commented on her remark.

As expected even I will be surprised if my sister started to strip her brother.

I immediately took some distance from Eleonora-neesan and thoroughly fixed and tied my string.

「Al and Sylvio are wearing comfortable clothes, that’s unfair!」

「Al was the one who bought this, so even if you criticize me……」

Sylvio-niisan - who was being criticized by Eleonora-neesan - said with a troubled tone and then he blame me for it.

Sylvio-niisan sold me out.

「Al, what does this mean?」

「Thi, this was a division of roles. Nord-tousan looks best when wearing that kind of close-fitting clothes. As for me and Sylvio-niisan we’re fine wearing these clothes.」

「Did you also consider me in that role?」

「If I did that, then I’ll be scolded by Elna-kaasan」

Eleonora-neesan clearly look unhappy when I said that as if making excuses.

Elna-kaasan always lamented the fact of Eleonora-neesan’s low femininity. So would it be all right to give Eleonora-neesan an item like a jinbei that further lowers her femininity even in that situation?

However, if I don’t tell her now then Eleonora-neesan will be in bad mood and it’s going to be troublesome later.

「I also have jinbei for Eleonora-neesan, so cut me some slack」

「……that jinbei, is this thin and cool-looking clothes, right? There’s also the type for women?」

「There is」

At any rate, I should probably not tell Eleonora-neesan - who is ignorant about clothes. With that in mind, I confidently asserted so to Eleonora-neesan.

Then, Eleonora-neesan starts to check on my - and Sylvio-niisan - jinbei with a solemn expression.

「……the fabric is very thin, isn’t it」

「That’s because it’s like casual wear, you see」

Eleonora-neesan is checking my sleeve with her fingers.

「So you only wear a tunic and short pants?」

「You only wear short pants, a tunic, and fasten it with a string in two spots」

When I briefly explained it to her, she let out an envious-sounding 「It’s so simpleー」. I wonder if this is her way of demanding her own jinbei?

「……I bought jinbei for Eleonora-neesan you know, you can wear it next time」

「Really!? Where is mine then? I will change into that now!」

As soon as she heard me saying that, Eleonora-neesan’s expression brightened and she pulled my arm.

'I have also prepared such casual clothes for you, so cheer up.' That was what I was trying to tell her, but then she said that she was going to start changing her clothes.

「Eehhh!? Now? After you take your time wearing that clothes, is that okay with you?」

「It’s fine! I don’t want to keep on wearing this kind of hard-to-move-in clothes all the time. I will change right now!」

No, I mean, won’t Elna-kaasan be angry about it then, I’m worried about that though……

While I’m thinking about that, Eleonora-neesan stealthily took me outside.

Nord-tousan and Elna-kaasan are still talking and looking at each other’s clothes so they’re completely unaware of us.

Ahh, your daughter’s beautiful appearance is about to be ruined, you know.

「Come on, show me where is it? My jinbei」

「It’s in the small room nearby」

There’s no helping it, it has become like this. It’s actually a fresh view, seeing Eleonora-neesan dressing up and looking so beautiful, I wanted to see her a little more.

So I obediently led her to the room and take out the jinbei with the same color as me from the stacked wooden box inside.

「Here, this is it」

「………it’s the same color as Al’」

「I have several others with different colors」

「……right, I’m going to change now so go outside」

After I gave her a gray jinbei that is closer to black, Eleonora-neesan gestured and shooed me away.

Though she has low femininity, it appears that she more or less has the minimum amount of modesty as a girl.

I quietly leave the room and wait outside for around a minute.

「Haaー, this jinbei-thing is really comfortable! It’s easy to move in since it’s short pants, easy for the wind to pass through and it’s cool!」

Then Eleonora-neesan came out, no longer the beautifully dressed Eleonora-neesan, but Eleonora-neesan dressed in a simple jinbei.

She untied her tied hair, messing it up with her hand, then she swiftly pulled it up at the back of her head and tied it all up with a hair tie.

A short sleeve with thin fabric. And from the short pants that look easy to move in, slender and firm legs that look like an antelope can be seen.

Her figure from before should have been more beautiful but, I wonder why do I think that her current appearance looks more like Eleonora-neesan?

「……what is it? Do I look funny?」

Eleonora-neesan starts to check on her appearance, perhaps it’s due to me staring intently at her while thinking about it.

「No, I just thought ‘I wonder how come this style feels more like Eleonora-neesan?’」

「What’s that supposed to mean」

「Well, it means it suits you」

「But it’s not as bold-looking as Al's though!」

Eleonora-neesan said that while turning the other way when I praised her.

I think it’s okay to just say ‘Thank you’ honestly though. Oh well, she seems kinda in a good mood now, so I guess it’s fine.

So Eleonora-neesan and I wear matching jinbeis while getting along as we returned to the living room.

After that, Elna-kaasan lamented the sight of the frolicking Eleonora-neesan looking happy wearing jinbei.
