Who Felt Happy to be Recognized
Pack (02/02)
NT: Errrm, well, let’s talk about the situation here… The situation… has become a bit complicated for Catora. Because of everything that has been happening, I mean, for the duration it has had, the advanced completion of my semester of the current semester at my university has been considered, and it does not seem to be being handled very well. It is still being discussed what will be done, but for now, the situation could end in such a way that next year we will all have a big gap in our heads and … well, things don’t look good. Besides that… nothing. I am quite healthy, and in addition to some quite annoying problems with my internet, nothing particularly bad has happened to me.
◇◇ IN A CERTAIN ROOM OF A CERTAIN BUILDING THAT WAS IN ONE OF THE ALLEYS OF THE ROYAL CAPITAL◇◇
「… Do you say that lately people have begun to wear strange clothes in the streets?」
「Yes, it seems that Young Girls have begun to take interest in clothes with novel designs」
「Fumu… Do you know where these clothes come from?」
「It seems that this comes from a certain retail clothing store called Seama Moulin」
「Good, try to locate their designer. We’ll definitely dominate the clothing market if we get him」
「Understood」
While watching his subordinates leave the room, the Dark King,
… Good, after getting the designer, we will only have to start mass production of the products with lower quality materials, that way we can obtain a lot of expensive items with a low production cost.
*Gufufu*. He thought about that while laughing.
◆ ◇ HOUTAU CITY • VARIETY STORE ÛGO ◇ ◆
「Do you want me to… design clothes?」, asked Barisa to Uliminus with a confused look.
「That’s right nya, I would like to see what results from an original design nya」, Uliminus said to Barissa with a smile on her face as she rubbed her hands.
Elmens’s designs, which they had been planning to use originally, were too old-fashioned to be of any use, so Uliminus considered asking a Royal Capital designer to take over the job.
However, due to the large number of Young Women who had been beginning to desire those extravagant outfits, the great designers had already been taken by other stores so there was no one left to ask.
Because of that, she thought it would not be a bad idea to ask someone with no experience to sketch a design.
… Right now, I don’t even care if whoever does it is just a inexperienced amateur nya.
Uliminus, who judged it that way,
… In that case, it should be fine to leave it in the hands of the women of the house nya!… I must make money nya
Uliminus, who felt particularly motivated by those last words, went to ask Barissa first.
「I’ll try, but don’t expect too much…」, Barissa said embarrassed as she looked at the sheet of paper that Uliminus had handed her.
… A few hours later.
Uliminus was looking at Barissa’s sketch with a complex look.
… I’m sure I asked for a sketch of 『Elegant and creative clothes for Young Girls』 nya.
The sketch drawn on the paper that Uliminus held was definitely interesting and worthy of praise.
However, what was drawn there was a 『Armor Dress for Women』.
Barissa was a woman who was once part of the Knights corps.
「So, well, try to pay more attention to the curves here, I mean, normally, in normal armor this part would be more aligned with the men’s line, but that doesn’t look very good, so…」
Uliminus could not help but look at the of Barissa’s sketch with a cold gaze while she started to explain the details of it.
… I was wrong to choose her nya
She thought, while letting out a sigh.
◆ ◇ THAT NIGHT • FURIO’S HOUSE ◇ ◆
Uliminus let out a deep sigh while holding her head in her room.
After returning home, she tried to ask the women of the house to try to make a sketch of 『Stylish and creative clothes for Young Girls』, but in response to that…
The former Swordsman and current farmer, Brossam, said, 「Ah? Isn’t it okay as long as I can use it?」, without hesitation.
The former Magician and current Teacher of the School of Magic, Berano, said, 「… I can only imagine what I usually use」, at the same time that she pointed out her hat and coat, which were undoubtedly a magician outfit.
Furio’s Wife ー and Mother of Twins ー , Lys, and the Former Archer and Wife of Slape ー and Mother of a Girl ー , Bireri, said, 「「 Please, make this!! 」」, while presenting a large number of children’s clothing designs.
… No, the children’s clothes that Lys and Bireri designed don’t look bad, but…
The fabric that Uliminus had stored had been purchased with the intention of being used to make clothes for young women, so these were not suitable for making children’s clothes.
Uliminus let out a sigh.
At that moment, someone knocked on the door of Uliminus’s room.
「Nya?」
When Uliminus opened the door to her room, she saw that on the other side was Barissa’s Step-Brother, Jaren, who was standing in front of the door while carrying a stack of papers.
By the way, since Barissa is Gozaru’s second wife, Jaren could also be considered the brother-in-law of Uliminus, the first wife.
「What do you need nya?」
Jarren was embarrassed after hearing Uliminus’s question.
「E-Errm… I listened from Barissa-gishisan that Uliminus-gishisan had been interested in women’s clothing designs…」, Jarren said as he handed her the stack of papers he had been carrying.
「We-Well… It’s-It’s just that I used to draw in my spare time and … Well, I used to draw this kind of thing, so … What-What do you think? Do you think they will be useful?」
The papers Jarren had given her were full of women’s clothing designs which were plagued with a sense of originality, freshness and elegance.
「I, well… I used to be quite weak, and I didn’t go out to the city much, so I liked to draw the clothes I imagined the girls there would have…」
*Mojimoji*. Jarren said while rubbing his hands nervously.
NT: Ok, I put it there, but to be sure … “Gishi-san” would be similar to “Onêsan”, however, instead of referring to a “sister”, it is used to refer to a stepsister or, well, sister-in-law. Also. Jarren calls Uliminus that way because she is the First Wife of Gozaru, the husband of Barissa, her stepsister , so technically, it is supposed that Uliminus is his sister-in-law too.
Then,
Uliminus took his hands, and said, 「Jarren, you’re hired as designer nya, I want you to draw another 10 more dresses nya」, at the same time she began to vigorously shake his hands from top to bottom.
Until now, Jaren, due to his weak constitution and having grown up without having learned the necessary things to be a Nobles, had not been able to do any of the things that men would normally do.
Because of that, he ended up being excluded by boys of the same age, which led him to take the hobby of drawing. Jarren, who had reached a level where he could be considered a prodigy when it came to drawing, felt really happy, to the point of believing that this was one of the best days of his life, after being recognized as that way.
◆ ◇ FURIO’S HOUSE • ROOM OF FURIO AND LYS ◇ ◆
Furio couldn’t help but be pleased after hearing the cheerful voices that came from Uliminus’s room.
「Did something good happen, Danna-sama? You look happy」
Lys, who was lying in bed next to the twins, Garyl and Elisabeth, looked at Furio curiously.
「Yes, it seems that the Uliminus clothing business will finally start working as it should, and that makes me happy」, said Furio while smiling.
On the other hand, hearing that, Lys inflated her cheeks.
「So that was what it was huh, Danna-sama, listen! Uliminus is bad, she didn’t choose the children’s clothing designs that Bireri and I gave her…」
「 … But, wasn’t she supposed to need clothing designs for young women? 」
「That’s right, but don’t you think it would have been nice to have taken our designs into account too? Besides… 」
After that, Furio continued to hear Lys’s endless complaints with a wry smile on his face as he nodded to her words.
◇◇ IN A CERTAIN ROOM OF THE ROYAL CAPITAL ◇◇
「Hum? What’s wrong with you Tsuya? Does your head hurt? 」
「Ha~a, Blond Hero-sama~, I’m a little worried~… People are starting to buy my clothes drawings at a price three times higher than the previous one~, but I’m already starting to stay with out ideas~… 」
「What? You mean you can’t continue drawing?」
「That’s right~, I’ve already drawn so many things to so many people~, that I’ve reached my limit~」
「But, don’t you have to do another drawing for that new customer you were talking about?」
「That’s right~, and that’s why I’m so worried~」
*Fun*. After hearing that, the Blond Hero began to think to himself as he watched Tsuya, who was leaning in front of a desk,
「 I see, then, I’ll do the drawing in your place」, he said while taking Tsuya’s sheet of paper and drawing materials.
「Eeh!? Blo-Blond Hero-sama~ !? Do you know how to draw clothes?」
「It’s not like I can’t draw, it’s just that I can’t do very well, but, well, just leave it to me. Hey, Ririanju」
「Yes? What do you need?」
「Draw something too. Here, have some paper」
「Eeh!? Bu-But I had never drawn something like this before !? 」
「It does not matter, just try to do something」
「O-Okay… 」
This-This will be fine~…?
Tsuya asked to herself as she watched as those two began to draw on the desk.
NT: As always, if you find something weird, whatever, just tell me in the comments.
