202 201. Roommaking And Winter Coats
“That’s all you got to get out of the room.”
Marcella lifts the sofa lightly all by herself and walks past the door.
The fourth floor of the green tower, the room that was my father’s bedroom, turned into a beautiful cala.
Dahlia looks at it while cleaning the finish with half sagginess and half temper.
I asked the shipping guild through Marcella to carry all the unnecessary items in my father’s room.
The study in the other room had already been cleared, so the furniture, documents and books still available were transferred there.
I do not use the bedding of the deceased in this country. The bed was also quite damaged, so I turned it to unnecessary items.
The spare room was decided to be a guest room.
Darya secretly thinks that one day it could be her own apprentice’s room.
“Darya, curtains, are you glad with this young grass color?
Lucia looks back at me for replacing the curtains.
“Yeah, thanks. It’s a very nice color.”
This time, Marcella and Lucia are helping me.
Irma, a pregnant woman, also told me she would help, but I declined. Marcella also stopped at all costs.
Irma says it’s harder to be adult because she’s healthy, but I can’t let her carry her luggage in a tower with lots of stairs.
In the end, when the kid was a little older, he settled down with a promise to come stay.
Until now, when Irma was coming to stay, we slept together in Darya’s room.
But now he’s probably got kids, and he’s a twin baby.
Whether rolling or yes or no, I laid a rug across the room and opted for a thick matt bed that could be placed straight on the floor rather than a bed with feet. It is convenient because it can be folded when not in use.
Two blankets and a winter hanging were also arranged, all in larger sizes, so that Marcella and Irma could stay together.
For the curtains and bedding, I asked Lucia.
Clothing guilds often handle cloth, so they also became familiar with bedding stores, he said. I communicated what I needed and my budget, and the next day I received suggestions for designs and colors.
Lucia has good taste in the interior as well as clothes.
Young grass curtains, ivory and green bedding and cushions that also serve as pillows are put together in different brightness greens.
When I lined everything up, it turned out to be a very pleasant room.
“It’s a relaxing room, so I tried to base it on thin green, but it might have been a little spring…”
Looking over the room, Lucia is tilting her neck. They’re so nice, but they’re not satisfied with it.
“It’s like a travel inn, I think it’s pretty good.”
“Yeah, it’s nice enough that I can come over from the room.”
Lucia finally laughed at Marcella and Darya’s words.
The three then took a carriage to the Central District.
In the afternoon, Marcella plans to take Irma to the temple to ascertain the progress of her pregnancy.
Irma’s magic disorder has stopped with his bracelet, but he has received regular cleric confirmation.
Marcella said she was really grateful that Gouade had arranged it.
Gouid seems to appreciate and support Marcella.
The black Wyburn gloves you showed me the other day had metal on them that was granted strong magic. Two or more magic seemingly defensive was also planted in the leather of the gloves themselves, which was a magic guide like a model for composite granting.
The magic seal box containing the gloves even contained purified white demon stones for cleaning.
Then, don’t tell me you wanted to disassemble the gloves and look into the details.
Darya and Lucia are scheduled to go to a clothes store in the Central District in the afternoon. It is Lucia’s only hope.
I wonder what the consideration for today’s help would be to change my clothes, but I lost to a fun friend.
Marcella was worried about the escort. But I don’t want Irma to go to the temple alone.
I plan to go to a coffee shop with a clothes store and a confectionery shop today.
The shopping district of the Central District is safe because it also has guards on patrol, as well as store escorts – yes, explaining to Marcella, Lucia made him go home with a light ’cause he has a escort too’.
Lucia’s escort said the Fort has been on for safety since the development of the breeze cloth (Auratello). He said he was escorting me at a certain distance.
I looked back on it, but in a crowded street, I couldn’t tell who was.
“Darya, what are you surprised about?
“I don’t know, Lucia and I both made escorts and it’s weird.”
“What are you talking about? Five-finger socks and inside shoes, plus a breeze cloth (Auratello). Not a good amount of revenue when it all comes together. There’s a lot of extra stuff that comes together where the money is. If you care, you can’t do anything new.”
“… right”
I’m still unfamiliar with Darya for something I can’t think of for a long time.
But Lucia was well aware of her position. I will have to apprentice myself.
“Sign up for debt for partnership preferences and match adoption. Until recently, my father turned his eyes. Master Ford gave me a nail from one end, so I got quiet.”
“That was tough…”
“Darya, too, right? Probably the most matchmaking in our year. But they say it’s a good deal, but it’s not gala. I’ve been working all my life, and I want to have my own workshop and shop. I wish someone would do half the house thing if we were to get married…”
“Maybe we should look for someone like that rather than a matchmaker.”
In the king’s capital of the kingdom of Ordine, there are also many couples working together.
Still, once married, some people want their partners to stay home all day.
Continuing work or sharing housework seems to be a source of concern for couples, as in previous lives.
“A lot of people say women like to take a step back and follow, surprisingly. I wish we could think of each other because if we were to get married, it wouldn’t matter if we were men, women, or ages. It would be nice to talk a lot and live with someone who enjoys being with you! Well, maybe this isn’t marriage, it’s cohabitation…”
In Lucia’s words, uh, Wolfe floated.
It might be fun if we could live together and talk about it without worrying about time – think so for a moment and strike it off right away.
I know perfectly well that’s not possible.
Though it might have been conceived if we were common people and same-sex with each other.
“And most of all, I love your clothes as much as I do, and I’d like someone to wear men’s and women’s clothes!
When it came to Lucia’s ideal person, the hurdles went up all at once.
“Darya, that’s too plain.”
Taking a deep brown coat in the bright store, he was pointed out with a reluctant face at Lucia.
The clothes store is already the third store. I tried on quite a bit of winter food in the previous two stores.
On top of that, Darya likes it and purchases a few that Lucia has passed.
It’s going to be packed, so I’m going to have it delivered to the green tower tomorrow.
The last thing I tried to pick was a winter coat, which had a lot of coat handling and was just brought to Lucia when there was a store I was curious about.
“I think it’s an inconspicuous, good color of dirt.”
“What do you do when the chairman of commerce chooses his coat to see if the dirt stands out? The fabric isn’t too thick either? Style looks bad and gets in the way when you get in and out of the carriage, huh?
If you ask me, it is. Probably more travel by carriage in the future.
You won’t be walking as far away as you did last year.
“I think Darya would look great in this Ivory coat.”
“The dirt seems to be noticeable.”
“So, what coat with pleats in the back over here? I think it fits because you’re tall.”
“Because unusual designs are unsettling…”
I was recommended a trendy coat, but it has a distinctive and eye-catching design.
I didn’t think it would suit me.
“Hey, Darya. Are you still dragging me? Mr. Tobias, or, uh, graduation idiot?
“… Neither one of you is dragging me.”
Answering, I couldn’t stop laughing bitterly.
What I remember is that I graduated from elementary school.
The graduation ceremony takes place once a year, before the winter festival.
Unlike in previous life, the college is admitted in semi-annual exams and has a wide range of ages to enroll.
The primary school graduation age is often between twelve and fifteen. It’s the age when love begins to bother you.
Besides, we’re not going to be together in high school. Knights and Magicians are different from each other, and there are more people who get a job.
It may well have been a place of confession after graduation.
Dalya was talking to Lucia as she shrugged around with a bouquet of flowers in her hand before school after her elementary graduation.
After graduation, I was going to have a celebratory cake at Irma’s. Sure, I think he was talking about it.
All of a sudden, a classmate I haven’t talked to much about offered to replace his badge.
Offering an exchange for graduation is a confession I want you to hang out with in the future.
At that time, Dalya, who had no idea of those things, was just surprised.
I didn’t even have the idea of dating someone, so I was all about saying ‘I’m sorry’.
The boy, with a slightly angry face, put his badge back in his pocket, told himself.
“I was betting on my meal bill to see if you said we were going out. Otherwise, I’ll confess to the plain woman.”
Moments later, although my anger rose, some of me was convinced that I had no choice.
In fact, it’s plain. It’s not even cute.
I was fully aware of that in both my previous and present life.
“You suck!”
I didn’t know whose sharp voice belonged or why the petals were dancing in space.
If you noticed, you were punching and yelling at the boy in the face with the bouquet of flowers Lucia had.
“Don’t play with people’s feelings, idiot!
The boy did not even say back to Lucia, but ran off the spot and fled.
I’m not saying I didn’t remember, but I’ve never talked to that boy before.
I remember myself more desperate to stop the angry Lucia than to be depressed.
“I don’t care anymore. That was it.”
“Good for you then. I’ll tell you because it was a long time ago, but after that, I exposed it to all my friends. Darya’s name was laying low, betting on her dinner bill at graduation, and there was a lying confessed fool. Witnesses will be around. Irma was doing her best.”
“Wait a minute, Lucia! I didn’t hear that.”
“Something I didn’t say. Because I thought Darya would stop.”
Out of words, my friend laughs. With a black smile I rarely see, I ran out of words to speak to.
“Two years after I got a job, I told every woman I spoke to, ‘Are you betting on a meal?’ They said no. It’s obvious.”
“Lucia……”
“It’s an old story, so please don’t thank me or be angry. I owe Darya a debt of gratitude, so I did it on my own.”
“There’s nothing like being repaid by Lucia.”
“On the first day of college, he caught me crying and held my hand to the classroom.”
It is something that had a much more interest-bearing reward.
I was about to cry myself into a widely maze of school buildings then, but everyone, I just moved in with them because they were careful.
Surprisingly, as she held the coat of tea, Lucia just put it back on the hanger.
“Darya, by the way, if ‘the boys then’ were reflecting, would you accept the apology?
“I’ll take it, but really, it was a long time ago.”
“Let’s not.”
“… then, I’m sorry, Chairman Rossetti”
“Huh?”
Behind Lucia’s diagonal, the male clerk who stood approached him and bowed his head.
I didn’t know why, and I stared back at that face.
“You don’t know because you’ve changed a lot, do you? I didn’t know about the breeze cloth (Auratello) until I spoke in the guild.”
Apparently, he was the one then. Deep brown eyes seem the same, but honestly, I have a flattering memory.
The clerk frowned and spoke to Darya.
“Even though I was in elementary school, it was very rude…”
“No, as much as I forgot earlier, that’s enough. Uh… did your friend have dinner after that?
There’s nothing in common about it.
In the meantime, the clerk looked away softly when he came up with the topic.
“… No, I didn’t bet anything. Well, I was turned down and mean it…”
“What?”
“Darya and I really wanted to change badges. So, I said too much embarrassment because you turned me down. I heard you catch me in the guild the other day.”
“… as Farno Workshop Manager said”
Lucia chases the clerk who completely distracts her gaze.
“I don’t even know what it feels like, but it’s too rude for a girl! Thanks to you, Dalya has been on a whole lot of ground since then.”
“Lucia, because that’s my personal preference. That wasn’t the day.”
I was in line with Tobias’s taste during my engagement, and I don’t like to dress flashy from the beginning.
Even though I felt bad about graduation, it would be different to blame the man in front of me.
“Uh, I accepted your apology, so this is the end of the story – can you show me your winter coat?
Speak up to the restless atmosphere and try to change the story somehow.
“Of course it is. If you don’t mind, can I recommend one? Of course, if you don’t mind.”
Darya admitted to him, speaking like a clerk.
What was then recommended was a coat of reddish tea.
The surface is in glossy leather with a soft red cloth on the back. Not gorgeous, not even plain.
Through my sleeves, I was surprised by the unexpected lightness and warmth.
“It suits you very well. Your coat is made of a magical, lightweight coat made of sheep and sheep leather and a cloth lined with silkworms.”
I guess it was on my face. It was described in detail earlier.
It is a coat of magic props. The price will be quite good, but she said she can wear it for a long time, so she won’t waste it.
Lucia then checked my coat and pushed my heartbeat.
When I offer to buy, I can smile at the clerk. So finally, the face of a college boy overlapped.
“Thank you. I can’t say it’s all for my coat, but I’ll serve half of it.”
“No, at a decent price, please”
“Darya, you just have to think this place over.”
“No, Lucia. ‘Cause I’m gonna have a hard time coming to this store next time.”
It’s a store that cares about Lucia, who’s loud about her clothes. I want to avoid being unable to come at will.
Besides, the fact that we talked about breeze cloth (Auratello) probably means we have a relationship in the clothing guild relationship. I didn’t want to bring myself in there.
At the end of the accounting, greet the clerk and the customer and go outside the store.
“Darya, wait here for a minute. Because I forgot my guild message.”
“Okay.”
Darya was relieved to the bottom of her heart as Lucia went back to the store.
I was going to forget about the graduation.
But behind my chest, I feel like a little thorn has fallen out.
Maybe he cared and made up the story, but I thought I’d stop listening to it.
Lucia speaks quietly to the clerk who was still dropping him off as she looks at Darya’s back through the window.
“I’ll turn the breeze cloth (Auratello) later for you”
“You don’t have to worry about that there. Just keep it a secret from Chairman Rossetti…”
“Well, I’ll keep it to myself after half a turn.”
That coat of red tea should be nearly double in Lucia’s view.
Redemption or liquidation of feelings, apparently this man was going to pay for it in silence.
Former classmate, now connected in clothing. One thing I wanted to ask you.
“I’m sorry, but you didn’t remember. That on my first day of college, you took me to the classroom with half a cry in my right hand and a big cry in my left hand…… so, I wouldn’t recommend it, but are you willing to work hard on Darya from now on?
“No……”
The clerk shook his head to the side and grinned.
You’ve probably heard rumors about Darya. But I’m not going to tell you the truth.
“Next time you’ll come as a proper customer, Deputy Store Manager.”
“Waiting, Farno Workshop Manager, Chairman Rossetti”
The clerk switches to a sales laugh and drops himself off.
Outside the store, there was no looking back, and Dahlia, who looked to the streets, was waiting.
