I picked out a jimbei for Elinora's sister, and a while later.

　Finally, Aleusha and Ilya arrived.

'Here we are!　We're done picking out clothes, too!

I'm sorry it took so long.

　Just by listening to these words, you can tell a lot about their personalities.

'It's good that we're taking a break too.

　I've been walking around all morning today. It's not much of a heartache when you consider that I was taking a break here. These things can change your mind depending on how you think.

'Well then, let's pick out some kagura clothes for Mother Erna and the others.

'Yes!　We've got our sights set while we pick out our own kagura outfits, so all we have to do is choose from the candidates!

　Oh, I guess I can pick one out quickly then.

　While being urged by Aleusha and Illya, me and Roomba move to the room where the women's kagura clothes are located.

''Ooh, they look totally different from the men's kagura clothes.

So many colors.

　Roomba and I let out an exclamation as we entered the room and looked around.

　The women's room had a different atmosphere than the men's side of the room, as the colors in the women's room were more vibrant and flashy than the men's.

　The colors ranged from bright to dark, with a variety of colors to meet the needs of the customers. It's a fun room to look at.

''Well I think I'll look good with the one that was here, and this one, and this one.''

　As I walk around the room, looking at things curiously, I pick up the kagura clothes that Aleusha and Ilya had their eyes on.

　I put the kagura clothes in my hand on the tatami space, and then I move busily to get the next outfit.

　All Roomba and I can do is wait patiently on the tatami mats without getting in the way.

　As we do so, Kagura's clothes are put in front of us one by one.

So that's about it?

'Yes!　There were actually many more candidates.

No, no, I've had enough.

　You can't put them on a tatami mat if they bring any more.

　I was dismayed by the woman's insatiable enthusiasm for clothing, but I kept my eyes on the line of kagura suits.

　There are red, yellow and white kagura suits, but I have no idea who is the gift to whom.

'From the row on the right are Erna-sama, Elinora-sama, Saara-san, Meena-san and Mel-san.

　Perhaps sensing my confusion, Ilya gently adds to my confusion.

'Erna-sama is very calm and s*xy, so I thought a calmer shade like the landlady would be good for you.

　Nodding at Ilya's explanation, I looked at Kagura's clothes and saw that there were indeed many shades of green, brown and green gradations, pale yellow-green and mature shades.

''That's right. This kind of calm coloration seems to suit Mother Erna.

''Well yes. You seem to be an amazingly attractive adult woman, too. What is it?　What are those chest numbers...?　There's something wrong with the world.

　As Ilya and I were having a cheerful conversation, Aleusha, who was nearby, mumbled to herself.

　Apparently, she's overcome with despair after hearing Mother Erna's chest circumference numbers.

　Iliya must be proud of her considerable numbers too, so comforting her would be counterproductive.

　It's kindness to leave them alone here.

The next one is Elinora-sama. I've chosen a color that matches the color of my hair because Elinora-sama's hair color is her strength.

　When I turned my gaze to look at it like Ilya said, I saw a line of red and black tones there.

　After all, with such a beautiful hair color, I guess a red-based color would simply suit her.

''Erinora-sama can go in the pretty direction, but when it comes to coloring with Kagura clothes, it's best to attack it in the beautiful direction!

　Ilya clenches his fists with a somewhat heated voice sound.

　That's something I agree with and there's no room to argue with.

''And the next one is Saara-san, the maid. Saara-san has shiny black hair like a Kagura man, so I made her a cool color like white and blue.

　Where Ilya does her hand, there is a mixture of white and blue floral patterns and other things.

　The white color certainly grows on Saara, who has shiny black hair.

　I think it will give her a serene looking beauty like a snow woman, and it might suit her better than I expected.

''Huh?　What's the green one over here?

　There are such cool shades of kagura clothes with a rustic green color scheme.

　Where have I seen this before........

''It's also Saara's. The cool colors are nice, but I thought the rustic colors of a town girl would look good on you.

'Oh!　Come to think of it, I've seen some of the sweet shop's signature girls and others wearing these colored kagura outfits!

　No wonder I thought I'd seen it all before.

　But I like the familiarity of these things, too.

　I've seen some of Kagura's town girls and stuff like that in these shades, and I thought it was cute.

'And then there's Mina-san, I've only talked to her a little bit, but I got the impression that she's a very pretty and energetic person, not only on the outside but on the inside as well. I think that person would rather be charmed by these bright yellows and other colors than colored pretty with reds and pinks and the like!

　It's true that Meena would rather have these cheerful colors like yellow and orange than pink and red. Anyway, Ilya is very good at explaining why she chose them.

　Why did you go home and choose these colors?　If you are asked the question, "What do you want to do?", you should try to imitate Ilya's words word for word and answer the question.

The last one is Mel-san, the head maid. I'm sure you'll be able to find it in the same way as I did.

Well, she's a pretty scruffy-looking maid, for all her looks.

　I think she would be a more beautiful woman if she were polished, but I don't intend to do that at all.

　She is a solid woman, but she is a maid whose detailed biology and way of thinking is surprisingly mysterious.

''These were the clothes and reasons that me and Aleusha chose, what did you think?

'Yeah, this gives me an idea of what I'd look like with any of them.

I'm glad to hear that from Master Alfried.

　When I say my honest opinion, Ilya smiles happily.

''Well the question is, which one will you choose from here?

　I was given a list of candidates for each of them, but there are at least five different colors and patterns.

　I think that this is still a narrowed-down version, but I can't really buy them all.

　In the first place, I do not look at the price. These kimonos are made for hundreds of thousands of clothes.

Let's omit the ones that cost more than 30 pieces of koban.

　I muttered to myself, and the shopkeeper pulled the overpriced Kagura clothes over the edge, as if she knew the price.

　As she does so, one piece of clothing slipped out of Elinora sister's clothes, three pieces from Erna mother's place, and one piece from Saara.

　Apparently, Erna mother's are the most expensive ones.

''If it's a maid or a big sister who isn't too interested in clothes, but even Erna-sama's kagura clothes are cheap?

　When I'm omitting the expensive kagura clothes from my list of candidates, Aleusha says somewhat blameworthy.

　Ugh, when you put it that way, it's true.

　Mother Erna was looking forward to the clothes more than anything else.

　If I keep them at the same price as sister Elinora and the maids, it's going to be a hassle later on.

'Good!　Well then, let's let's keep it within the range of fifty gold coins or so, assuming Father Nord shows worthiness here!

　As I said this, two of Mother Erna's kagura clothes returned to their original position.

　I'm too scared to ask the price of the one piece that's left.

'But is it okay to spend all this money?　We're going to go over the requirement of a single white gold coin, as Erna said, right?

I'm fine!　If you go home and complain about it, I'll make an excuse to Mother Erna that Father Nord told me beforehand that Mother Erna's kagura clothes were to be expensive.

　That way, her husband, Nord Dad, wouldn't be able to pull back, and Mother Erna, who was cherished, wouldn't feel bad about it.

　Erna's mother was a bit of a jerk when it came to Father Nord.

'Oh, I see. Al is as wily as ever, isn't he?

It's a filial duty.

　I'd like to ask you to stop talking like a human being.

　We're making money on the reversies anyway. An expense of this level of expense would be like a margin of error.

''Then you can choose the rest, Alfried-sama.

'What?　Aren't Ilya and Aleusha going to pick it out together?

　I'm stunned by Illya's words, which she says softly.

''We'll help you up to the point of choosing a candidate for a kagura outfit that suits you. From here, it's best for your family, Alfreet-sama, to choose.

He's happier when his family chooses him.

　But one suspicion is growing in my mind.



No, no!

No, no!

　There's something hard and suspicious about their expressions.

　If I choose it here and take it to Mother Erna and the others and they don't like it, I'll be blamed.

　Even if they barked that they were referring to the opinions of their female counterparts, there is no way to overrule them if they say that Alfried-sama chose them in the end.

　In order to prevent that from happening, for me, I wanted to leave it as Ilya and Aleusha and their chosen presentation, but.......

''Having watched your family by your side, Alfried-sama should be able to choose the best one!

Yes!

　Is that right?　

　Well, it's not a choice. In the end, I'll make the right choice.

　That's how I picked out Kagura clothes for Erna and the others and bought them as souvenirs.


　I'm not sure if it's a good idea to buy the same thing, but I'm sure it's a good idea to buy the same thing for the same reason.

　The sky had turned reddish-blue by the time I had safely bought all the necessary items, and I returned home with a sense of relief and satisfaction for the day.

　When I returned to the Ryokan after sunset, I was scolded by Tori for sending too many souvenirs to the Ryokan.
