After arguing with each other for a moment in the men's room at the back, we return to the entrance when the clerk reports that Aleusha and Ilya have finished changing.

　I'm followed by Rumba, Irvine, and a thug named Malt.

　As I walked forward, I looked back and saw that it was just a group of poor quality people walking around.

　If these three guys walked down the street, the human wall would crack on its own.

　With that thought in mind, I walked back to the entrance of the clothing store and found two women dressed in Kagura clothes.

　A woman with dark blue hair tied up and a woman with pink hair tied up at the side.

　Judging by the color of their hair, it's definitely Aleusha and Illya.

　You'll be able to find out if they noticed our footsteps or not, and Aleusha and Illya look back.

　There were two beauties there, dressed in stunning Kagura clothes.

　Aleusha is wearing a Kagura outfit with a calm blue base, with pale light blue and indigo colors blooming like a flower. Her long, dark blue hair was tied up in a ponytail at the back of her head by a Kagura hairpiece.

　The long hair was lifted up to expose Aleusha's slender white neck, creating a feminine s*xiness and a calm, cool atmosphere.

　And Ilya's was dressed in a light pink Kagura outfit with a pale shade of pink.

　The sleeves, collar and feet were discreetly sprinkled with flower petals, and the color gradually turned into a gradation of pink.

　Maybe it's because of the Kagura outfit's close proximity to white, but Ilya's bright pink hair looks great.

　I thought the Kagura outfit was cute and neat, perfect for her.

　I knew they were both beautiful women, but the way they dressed made such a difference in their impressions.

　We both let out an 'oh' as we were stunned by their beauty.

''Phaha, you guys look like hoodlums!

　Aleusha, who had been giving off a cool vibe, bursts into a belly laugh. If this happens, the beauty will be ruined.

''What?　Tell me you've got class!

　Irvine takes a bite out of Aleusha, who is laughing hysterically with her stomach.

"Hey, Ilya. We're not thugs, are we?

'What?　

　Malt asks to Ilya, but Ilya probably thought he looked like a thug, too. The words are very crisp. It feels like he's wandering his gaze, searching for words.

'I think they look great together, don't you?

'If you don't deny that you're a thug, that means Irvine and Malt look terrific in their thug-like appearance, right?

Yes!　

　Ilya nodded with a smile at the words I interrupted from the side.

　At that moment, Irvine, who had been crowded by Malt and Aleusha, crumbled down with a gulp.

''........No, no, no, Alfried-sama!　Mr. Malt and Mr. Irvine are different, you know!

　Ilya, remembering their depression and the content of their current conversation, tried desperately to excuse herself, but it was too late. There was no longer any room for excuses.

'See. Accept it.''

　Aleusha flattened Irvine as he collapsed and laughed.

'You're getting carried away just because you can fool your breasts with your kagura outfit...'

　The moment Irvine spat those words out in frustration, I felt the temperature around me drop.

'Be careful what you say. I've got a lot of my people here, you know?'

　When I involuntarily looked around at Aleusha's surprisingly inchoate and cold voice, I saw the women who were clerks in the clothing store with cold smiles on their faces.

　Even the guide woman who had smiled serenely earlier, and the woman who helped me change clothes.

　Maybe the women here aren't the ones with the most ample breasts.......let's not go any further. I felt a strange, sharp gaze flying at me.

　After all, the Kagura people must be afraid of offending her because of their usual soft and gentle manner.

''........It was me who was on a roll. I won't say it again.

Good to know.

　Irvine's heartfelt words of apology brought the atmosphere in the store back to a calmer one.

　The smiles of the women, the shopkeepers, had also returned to their usual calm.

''By the way, you two look great in your kagura outfits.

Yeah. You look so different, you look so different.

　I don't know if he was reading the air or just being natural, but I'll take advantage of his words to lighten the mood.

''Thank you. Rumba-san, Alfreet-sama.

　At the words of Rumba and I, Aleusha looks a little unconcerned, and Ilya smiles in embarrassment.

　Even with just this gesture, you can clearly see the difference in their personalities.

''I'm a little nervous because I'm dressed completely differently than usual.

'Yes, I know. It's nice to look good, but it's a little hard to walk around.

　Aleusha tugs on the hem of her feet to make sure they are in place.

　As expected, she wouldn't be able to walk or run with her big feet in a kimono.

''In comparison, Rumba-san and Alfried-sama's kagura clothes look quite easy to move in.

Oh, it's called jimbei, which is an everyday uniform. It's comfortable, cool and easy to move around in. I highly recommend it.

'Really?　I'd love to buy one for your father to take home.

　Ilya touched the jimbei that Roomba was wearing to make sure it was made of the right material.

　Do you think Father Nord and Brother Silvio would be happy if I bought them a pair of jimbei?　

　In the back of my brain, I tried to imagine the two of them wearing it, but I didn't think they looked too good together. It's not a good idea to wear a kimono, but it doesn't look good in a kimono. I don't think I'd look good in a kimono, but I wouldn't look good in a jimbei. Bartolo and Logan would be happy to wear it. I'm afraid that Erinora will like it too.

.........

　As I was thinking about what kind of jinbei would look good on Bartolo and the others, Aleusha came in front of me.

　She bends down with a mysterious look on her face and makes eye contact with me.

　Then she stares at my whole body and twists her head, turning to the side and back to observe and touch the jimbei.

　I wonder what it is.

''.......What's wrong?''

　He opens his mouth involuntarily at Aleusha's bizarre behavior.

'They're supposed to be the same as those kids out there, but they're completely different. Why is that?'

I don't know.

　It doesn't matter that some kids look good in their jimbei.

Thank you. Please come again.

　Dressed in the standard equipment in Kagura, we are escorted out of the store by the clerk of the clothing store.

　Since we all bought Kagura clothes, we may have been able to blend into the Kagura landscape a bit.

　Aleusha, Ilya, and Molt might stand out because of their hair color, but me, Irvine, and Rumba have common hair colors, so I don't think they'll stand out that much.

　I'm glad to see that we've been able to blend in with the exotic and harmonious country that is completely different from the Misfirito Kingdom.

　Being exposed to a different culture gives you a great sense of tourism.

'Oh, your gaze is a little higher than usual. It's tasteful and interesting.

'Irvine's clogs are a little high on the bottom, aren't they?　Makes it even harder to walk, doesn't it?

This is a good one.

　Yes, we bought clogs and slippers at the clothing store. As expected, we bought kagura clothes, but we couldn't wear ordinary shoes or boots underneath, could we?

　It seems that the clothing store cooperates with the geta and zori stores in their business, and they sold them to us, who bought Kagura's clothes, at a discount.

　He also sold hair clips like a hairpin to Aleusha and Ilya, and he was quite good at business.

　The original clothes and shoes can be delivered to the inn, so we don't have to worry about it either.

You're going to be okay with that?　Don't tell me you're tired?

I know.

　I bought clogs for Irvine and Malt, while me and Roomba and the ladies got sandals.

　Clogs are nice, but Aleusha's right, they might be too tiring to walk around in all day.

'You're the one, Aleusha, don't complain about how tight your waist is?　You're not vain, are you?

'Excuse me!　No, it's not too tight!　I don't have to look good!　And that's just fine!

　Irvine's words made Aleusha a little upset but indignant.

　If she had the clothes shop to dress her, she would be fine. And even if it came loose for some reason, he could ask the Kagura woman to tighten it up for him.

'What shall I do? I'm not sure I'll be able to last the whole day since I was a little vain and had it made tighter...''

　As Irvine and Aleusha argue with each other, Ilya, who is next to her, mutters to herself.

　If you're a woman, are you this tight? And if the waiter said to me, I think I'd answer that it's okay.

'Since we're going to be eating dinner to savor the kagura cuisine, maybe a little looser is just fine.

　When I muttered something like that, Aleusha and Ilya's shoulders shook with a jolt.

　Could it be that the obi is still tight?

'Ki, we're going to eat dinner today, so maybe we should loosen it up a bit more!

'Yeah, right!　Let's loosen it up a bit so we can enjoy the Kagura to the fullest. And we're going to eat a lot of food and walk around today!

'Yeah. Normally I wouldn't have a problem with it being this tight, but when you're eating a lot of food and walking around, I'm worried about you!　That's why I'm going to go put it back on for a bit!

　The men were silent as the women rode the retreat I had left behind back to the clothing store.
