Chapter 134: Vain Person

We quarreled for a while at the space meant for men at the back of the shop, then we return to the entrance after we heard from the employee that Aleutia and Ilya have finished changing.

I’m in the lead, followed by Roomba, and the thugs - Irvine and Mort.

When I look back as I walk ahead, it looks just like a group of dangerous people are walking together.

If these three are walking on the street together, the crowd in the surroundings will probably split of their own accord.

When I return to the entrance of the clothes shop while thinking about such things, two women wearing Kagura clothes are waiting there.

One of them had her deep blue hair tied up, while the other one had her pink hair tied at the side.

From the color of their hair, they are undoubtedly Aleutia and Ilya.

Then Aleutia and Ilya turn around, perhaps they notice the sound of our footstep.

There were two beautiful women who dressed up beautifully in Kagura clothes in that place.

Aleutia is wearing Kagura clothes with a calming blue color as its base, a light blue and indigo blue that looks like blooming flowers. Her long deep blue hair is tied at the back of her hair in a ponytail with Kagura-type accessories.

And because her long hair is raised in a ponytail, her white slender nape becomes visible, radiating a feminine appeal with a clean and quiet atmosphere around her.

As for Ilya, she is wearing pink-colored Kagura clothes with a pale hue at its base.

The area around her sleeve, collar, and feet were inconspicuously decorated with flower petals, and the color gradually changes into a gradation, approaching pink in color.

Perhaps it’s because the color of her clothes is close to white, that Ilya’s bright pink hair looks even more attractive.

I thought that the Kagura clothes are well suited with the lovely and tidy atmosphere she gave off.

I know that they were both beautiful women, but does the impression change this much with the differences in attire.

We let out a「Ohー」 while staring at the two in blank amazement at their beauty.

「Fuhaha, you guys really look like some thugs」

Aleutia - who gave off such a refreshing atmosphere - burst into laughter while holding her stomach. Once she did that, her image of a beautiful woman became spoiled.

「What don't you be considerate!?」

Irvine lashed out toward Aleutia, who burst out laughing and holding her stomach.

「Hey, Ilya. We don’t look like thugs, right?」

「Eeh?………ahー, uhm well……」

Mort tried to ask Ilya, but Ilya probably also thought that they look like thugs. She’s awfully evasive. Her gaze is wandering and it feels like she is looking for what to say.

「I think it really suits you?」

「The fact that you didn’t deny the 'thugs' part means that Irvine and Mort look really well-suited as thugs, right?」

「Yes!」

Ilya nodded - while smiling - toward the remark I threw in from the side.

At that moment, Irvine - who was approaching Mort and Aleutia - collapsed, looking dejected.

「……no no, Alfried-sama that’s not what I mean!? Mort-san and Irvine-san, it’s not like that, alright!?」

Ilya remembered the content of the current conversation and when she looked at their depressed appearance, she desperately tried to explain it but it’s already too late. There is no more room for explanation.

「Yoーu see. Just accept it」

Aleutia laughs while patting Irvine who collapsed *pechipechi*.

「You’re getting carried away just because the Kagura clothes can hide your breast………」

The moment Irvine frustratingly said that I felt the surrounding temperature drop.

「Please be mindful of what you say. I have a lot of comrades in this place, you know?」

When I unconsciously look around after hearing Aleutia’s monotonous and cold voice, I found out that the female employees of the store are smiling coldly.

The woman who led us, and even the woman who assist us in changing were still smiling until a moment ago.

Probably, the women in this place don’t have that much of a breast…… let’s stop thinking about it any more than this. I felt that sharp gazes are strangely heading this way.

I knew it, the people of Kagura are normally gentle and amiable, but they would be scary if you make them angry.

「……I was the one who got carried away. I won’t say it again」

「It’s good if you understand」

Due to Irvine’s heartfelt apology, the atmosphere inside the store returns to a calm one.

And the smile of the female employees also returned to the usual amicable smile.

「Nevertheless, the both of you look good in Kagura clothes」

「That’s right. The impressions changed so much that I hardly recognize you」

I don’t know whether he can read the air or it was spontaneous, but I also took advantage of that to say something that will lighten the atmosphere.

「Thank you very much. Roomba-san, Alfried-sama」

It appears that Aleutia is a little happy, while Ilya smiles bashfully hearing what we said.

Just with those actions alone, you can perceive the difference in personality between the two of them.

「You girls look really different from your usual appearance, it makes my heart pounding」

「Yeahー. It’s nice being able to look pretty like this, but I feel that it’s a bit difficult to walk」

Aleutia pulls the bottom of her kimono to check on it.

Naturally, you won’t be able to take long strides as you walk or run while wearing kimono.

「Compared with that, Roomba-san and Alfried-sama’s clothes look much easier to move in, aren’t they」

「Ou, it seems that this jinbei is everyday clothing. It has a good texture and cool to wear, it’s also easy to move in. I recommend it, you know? 」

「Really? I want to buy it as a souvenir for my father then」

Ilya is touching the jinbei Roomba is wearing to check on the quality of the material.

I wonder if Nord-tousan and Sylvio-niisan will be happy if I also bought jinbei for them?

I tried to imagine their appearance while wearing jinbei in my mind, but I didn’t think that it will look good on them. Silky smooth blonde hair, with slim lines and slender physique……… Setting kimono aside, jinbei won’t suit them, huh. But if it were say, Bartolo or Logan, then they’re going to gladly wear it. I will be scared if Eleonora-neesan will also take a liking to it unexpectedly.

「…………………」

Just when I was thinking of which jinbei would suit Bartolo and the others, Aleutia came right in front of me.

She crouched with a mysterious look on her face and our eyes matched.

After that, she stared at my whole body while tilting her head, then she turned to observe me from the side and back, and touching the jinbei.

I wonder what is she doing.

「……what’s wrong?」

I reflexively said, looking at Aleutia’s strange behavior.

「Even though you should look the same as the kids outside, you look completely different from them. I wonder why?」

「How could I know」

Nothing is wrong with a kid who looks good wearing jinbei, isn’t it?

「Thank you very much. Please come again」

Dressed in Kagura’s standard clothes, the employees of the clothes store sent us off as we leave of the store.

Since everyone is wearing these Kagura clothes that we bought, we may have also blended into the surrounding scenery of Kagura a little more than before.

Aleutia, Ilya, and Mort’s hair color might be conspicuous, but my hair, Roomba, and Irvine’s hair color are common here in Kagura, so we’re probably not that conspicuous.

I’m happy that we appear to have blended into this Japanese-style country that was overflowing with exoticism and is entirely different from the Misfrit Kingdom.

By coming into contact with different cultures you can have a great experience while feeling like you’re sightseeing.

「Ooh, my line of sight is a bit higher than usual. It also has its charm, it’s fascinating.」

「The bottom part of Irvine’s geta are a bit tall, aren’t they? Wouldn’t it become unnecessarily harder to walk?」

「It’s fine like this」

That’s right, we purchased some geta and zori back at the clothes store. Naturally, although we purchased Kagura clothes, the bottom part can’t be ordinary shoes or boots.

The clothes store seems to be in a business partnership with the geta and zori store, they sold it to us - who purchased the clothes - at a cheap price.

And besides that, the shrewd saleswoman sold things like hair ornaments that look like kanzashi to Aleutia and Ilya.

They also said that they will deliver our own clothes to the ryokan so that we don’t have to worry about them.

「Is that really alright? Don’t complain that you’re tired later on, alright?」

「I know」

Irvine and Mort bought geta, while the women’s group, me, and Roomba buy zori.

It’s fine to buy geta like them, but just as Aleutia said, walking around for the whole day wearing geta might be exhausting.

「How about you Aleutia, don’t complain that your waist is too tight, alright? You’re not acting pretentious, right? 」

「So rude! It’s not too tight, okay! I, I’m not acting pretentious! This is a perfect size for me!」

Irvine’s remark makes Aleutia indignant despite looking a little agitated.

If the employee from the store helps you get dressed then you would be fine. I mean, even if by some chance, something loosened then those Kagura’s women would probably help you tighten it if you ask.

「What should I do. I, I want to show off a bit so I asked them to make it a little snug I’m worried if I have to maintain it for the whole day…… 」

While Aleutia and Irvine are arguing, Ilya who is beside me muttered so.

If it were women then when the employee asked them something like 「Would this kind of tightness alright with you?」, I feel like they answer with something along the lines of 「Yes, it’s fine」.

「We’re going to eat some rice and enjoy Kagura dishes after this, so it might be best to loosen it a little」

When I muttered such things, Aleutia and Ilya’s shoulders tremble.

Could it be, their obi are squeezing them even now?

「W, we’re going to eat rice today, so let’s loosen it a little more, right! 」

「Tha, that’s right! Let’s loosen it so we can fully enjoy Kagura dishes. I mean, we’re going to eat a lot and walk around after all.」

「Yeah. This kind of tightness is no problem normally, I’m just worried since we’re going to eat a lot and walk around the place after all! That’s why I’ll be back after I adjust and redo my clothes!」

To the way out of this situation that I’ve saved for them, the women’s group grabbed the opportunity and take advantage of it to return to the clothes store while the men watched them in silence.
