Tempted by her desire as a magic tools craftsman to set up her own company, Dahlia shows up at the guild on the next day.
Yesterday, Tobias didn’t show up when she is at the guild so the re-registration for the small magic stove contract was pushed to today.
In case he didn’t come in yesterday, the commerce guild will make their moves.
Slightly hastening her feet, Dahlia makes her way to the second floor.
“Good morning Dahlia-san. Tobias-san already came by yesterday to cancel the profit contract.”
Hearing Ivano’s words, Dahlia greets him back feeling relieved.
“Thank you very much, Ivano-san.”
“I will issue the document for you now. Dominique-san will be arriving at noon so we should be able to finish the process by today.”
“I will be in your care.”
A re-registration is easy as there isn’t much document to go through.
Dominique, the notary can just confirm Dahlia’s name on the document and issue an official contract. There is no need for her to be present at the time.
With this, Tobias will have no penalty history as a magic tool craftsman. That said, the rumor will still spread around the commerce guild though.
While reviewing the documents, a group of 5 – 6 men entered the meeting room next to the office.
Apparently, there’s a meeting between the companies that deal with fabrics. There seems to be someone running late so they are just having an idle chat with each other.
“Hey, I just heard that the boy at Orlando’s place was switching to a new woman just before the marriage.”
They might not think that the person related to the rumor herself is barely within earshot at the nearby office.
Without covering my ears, I turn over the documents as if nothing was happening.
“Orlando’s second son…..ah, the one who came up with waterproof clothes, Tobias huh. He still not married yet?”
“He was engaged to Carlo’s daughter, Tanya right? Well, she’s his master daughter so I guess he couldn’t refuse him huh.”
“It seems the new woman is the receptionist at his company. I have seen her before but she’s a young and cute child.”
“The abandoned Tanya is pitiful, isn’t she. If Carlo were alive, this would never happen.”
Rumors are often twisted.
Tobias came up with waterproof clothes? My name is Tanya? Dahlia was trying to keep it cool without retorting them but her fingertips seemed to slightly get colder.
“……the old sparrows are quite noisy huh.”
I turned my head to the side and found Gabriella standing there.
Today she is wearing a light purple one-piece dress with a matching lace point. Her silver barrette adorned with blue gem is shining brightly on her ivory hair.
“If you don’t have any plans for today, won’t you go out with me?”
“Is that alright with your job?”
“I’m taking a break today. I’m just here because I was free since my husband is away.”
Maybe she is just worried about me or perhaps she wants to talk about the new company, Dahlia accepted her invitation with that in mind.
There was a carriage already waiting in front of the commerce guild.
“Now, Dahlia-san, how about a lesson on [How to become more like a president]?”
“Um, even if you say a president, I am the only one in the company right?”
“Yes, exactly. That’s why I think it’s better for you to not be looked down on.”
Gabriella laughed like a cat who just found its prey.
……………………………………
The first place I was taken to was a clothing store. It is a store aim at commoners but it also handles high-quality clothes.
In this world, I feel that clothing-related commodities are more expensive than in my previous life.
Dahlia firmly grabbed Gabriella’s sleeve.
“Um, Gabriella-san, the budget is…….”
“It’s fine. If you don’t have enough I will just use some from my husband’s wallet, he’s your guarantor after all.”
With her vague reply, it seems no matter what I ask, she will just reply to me with a smile.
“Welcome dear customer, we have been expecting you.”
Immediately after they were greeted by the clerk, Dahlia was stripped of her usual ash-colored clothes.
When I was panicking as my size being measured, Gabriella and the clerk scolded me on how my underwear is not matching my size at all.
Since her figure hasn’t changed since her academy years, she just bought them without trying them on. When she told them that, their scolding grew even harsher.
The clerk tightly measures her size and even have her try on some underwear afterward.
She did that all while repeatedly saying [It’s absolutely necessary for you to put on lingerie that matches your size!].
In the end, I decided to buy three new sets that match my size.
Next, she testing out the clothes on Dahlia’s face to see which color looks good on her and which doesn’t. After she determined that, she jotted it down on a piece of paper. It seems I have to choose the color from that list.
When I answered them on my clothing preferences with [Easy to move in, inconspicuous color, and easy to wash], the clerk went silent and Gabriella was holding her forehead with her palm.
After that, I was brought to a fitting room and the clerk came in after me with a tremendous amount of clothes in both of her hands.
“Please try everything on.”
Since the smile on the clerk’s face is a little scary, I tried to ask Gabriella for help but then I saw Gabriella following us into the fitting room together with another clerk who has even more clothes in her hands.
The clerks and Gabriella are selecting the clothes while Dahlia repeatedly wearing and taking them off. In the end, there are around 10 patterns with 20 or so clothes on the hanger.
I was told that I could choose three or more but when I was about to casually select them, I noticed.
“Dahlia, you know, these clothes are a kind of [letter of introduction]. As the president of a company, you have to build up your trust in a meeting or when you are dealing with customers. Clothing is important to make a good first impression.”
“That’s right, clothing is very important! you absolutely need to switch to clothes that better suit you!”
For the time being, I was convinced of their explanation but I don’t know what kinds of clothes would be able to gain my customer’s trust or build a good first impression. To be honest, I’m too unfamiliar with this kind of stuff so I have no confidence in this.
After telling them that, I asked for their advice and finally decided on two of the patterns.
The first pattern is a glossy lampblack one piece dress with a vanilla beige jacket.
The second one is a dark blue long skirt with a little lace decorating it in the hyacinth blue ensemble.
“Loose clothes that don’t fit your size won’t be easy to move in. Nowadays, we have some stretchy elastic fabrics too. The one that made from a unicorn’s hairs are especially relaxing to wear dear customer.”
When I was mulling on what to choose for the third pattern, I raise my face when the clerk mentioned the [Unicorn] hairs.
After some pondering, I chose olive green long pants. Of course, it is the one that has the most elasticity, made from materials of a unicorn.
For the combination, I decided to buy a white lily summer sweater with a slight green tint together with a white shirt.
As long as I can remember, this is the first time I buy white clothing like this.
I decided to look for shoes that can go together with the combination.
When Dahlia told the clerk and Gabriella that she only wants two pair of shoes, they consult with each other and bring out various shoes for her to try on.
As a result, she was able to choose a pair of beige shoes that matched the color of her skin and another pair of shiny black shoes. Considering the ease of movement, the heels were lowered.
When she finally finished choosing her clothes and shoes, Dahlia thought that she might turn into ashes.
The size adjustment for the one-piece and the pants take place immediately at the store. Apparently, there is a professional seamstress working at this store.
While waiting for that to finish, Dahlia went to pay for everything but the clerk handed the invoice to Gabriella instead.
“Dahlia-san, do you have 5 large silver coins?”
One large silver coin is equivalent to 10,000 yen according to Dahlia’s senses.
What she is buying are 7 clothes with moderately good quality, 3 sets of underwear and 2 pairs of shoes. That amount of money definitely won’t cover that.
“I will pay for it myself. The real price is definitely higher than that isn’t it?”
“Alright, let’s head to the next store.”
Dahlia’s eyes went round after that.
