Chapter 290

Trade Guild Uniform Proposal
With Alizée's permission secured, I returned to my room to start drafting design ideas right away.
However, no brilliant ideas came to mind.

I’ve never paid much attention to uniformity, as I change my outfits freely.
But for an organization like that, having a set uniform is probably important, reflecting rules and discipline.

Hmm, I wonder if I can come up with a good idea.

“... So, that’s why you came here.”

“Yes. I thought perhaps Plum’s staff might have some good ideas.”

The place I visited was the Magic Butterfly.
It’s a shop that, although newly opened, still has zero customers.

Fortunately, this shop doesn’t need customers to operate.
It’s designed as a noble-exclusive boutique, so it’s easier if it’s not crowded.
Nominally, we claim to handle dress orders for Princess Rodenlight, which prevents other nobles from barging in.
For the record, we’ve delivered several dresses for Princess Rodenlight as promised.

Anyway, that’s why I came here.
The people running this store are the attendants Plum brought over from the Darshe Principality.
In other words, maids.

Even putting aside the fact that they’re capable of handling rough situations, their knowledge of clothing is top-notch.
I wanted to borrow their expertise.

“Well, first, do the guild members even want to change their uniforms?”

“Pardon?”

“Uniforms are typically used for years, often with periodic reviews and functional improvements. How many people are eager to introduce new uniforms, even if it means breaking away from that tradition?”

Ah, I hadn’t considered that.

It’s true that some might want to try new uniforms, while others might prefer the current ones.
I’ll need to take those preferences into account as well.
This is a tricky issue.

“Lady Lily, let’s shift perspectives a little. What do you think is the biggest summer challenge with the current uniforms?”

“Well... I suppose it’s the heat and stuffiness?”

“That’s likely the case. What if we considered creating products to address that issue instead of changing the uniforms?”

So, instead of replacing uniforms, I’d add new features to them?
That’s not a bad idea.
Reducing heat is a relatively simple problem to solve.
Let’s proceed with this approach.

I developed a prototype and immediately went to show Alizée.
I wonder how she’ll react.

“I see. So, instead of altering the uniform itself, you enchanted a vest worn underneath with ‘Heat Resistance’ and ‘Cooling’ effects.”

“I considered enchanting the uniform, but that would create problems outside of summer, wouldn’t it?”

“While ‘Heat Resistance’ might not be an issue, ‘Cooling’ could be uncomfortable for some. Even in summer, some people dislike the sensation of coolness.”

Ah, she’s right—people who are sensitive to cold.
I hadn’t thought of that.

“Then let’s prepare vests with only ‘Heat Resistance’ as well. As for pricing... this should do.”

“... Frankly, I’m concerned about offering enchanted clothing at this price.”

“The fabric is made from my Spider Silk, and I can apply the enchantments myself. It’s quite cost-effective.”

“Understood. I’ll take this price and the prototype to consult with the staff union. Also, about the other prototype...”

Oh, Alizée has a serious look on her face.
That seems promising.

“It’s a bit breezy around the groin area, but it’s perfect for hot summer days. But are you sure about this price? This is Frost Spider Silk underwear, isn’t it?”

“Yes, it’s Frost Spider Silk underwear. Since I’m a magic tailor, there’s virtually no fabric waste when making smaller items, allowing me to offer it at this price. Additionally, I’ve enchanted them to prevent shrinkage after washing.”

“Then I’ll negotiate sales among the women. May I distribute the provided pairs as samples?”

“Of course. Besides, wouldn’t it be unpleasant to wear underwear someone else has already tried on?”

“True. Then, we’ll discreetly introduce these to avoid male staff noticing.”

Frost Spider Silk underwear comes in lace designs too, making it a bit more mature and alluring!

I hope this kind of stylish underwear gains popularity!
