1489 Episode 1476: Talk at the Tailor. 2 (Where to make it. ）

Takeo and Ralph are preceded by cloths ordered by Takeo, who explains.

"So when you dip 'a certain liquid' sold by that Elvis family into this dough and let it bake or dry to test its performance?

"Yes... you're right.

Takeo nods slowly in front of manager Ralph.

I won't let you out of sight.

"What is the expected performance?

"... is the creation of a fabric that doesn't go through the sword just like a fabric that is magically fortified.

I thought if we kept the tent closed when we used it outdoors, we would be able to withstand some raids.

So I was wondering if it might bother Mr. Ralph.

Takeo says with a smile.

"... I see... then what if you tried to use our store?

"... if you wrap around an exterior that doesn't penetrate the sword, I don't think even soldiers without magic aptitudes are likely to suffer injuries, and I was wondering if it wouldn't be more waterproof because it fills the gaps in the coarse cloth in their eyes... I'm kind of hoping.

Ralph makes me listen with a serious eye, but Takeo only has to let his gaze escape to the side, with a smile.

"For those who don't have magic proper... Kitamizato-sama would think of something else, wouldn't you?

Especially for the troops you own. Should be the top priority... here?

"Ha... you're just entrusting the boulder with the second laboratory (of ours) work clothes.

Yes, I would like a special order, unlike a soldier with no such magical aptitude (for the outside world).

First, I made a gap in the inside of the helmet when making a set of work clothes for the laboratory, but I used this cloth as a reinforcement material there, increased blade resistance by planting the cloth itself around the chest, back, neck, etc. of the combat vest, work clothes, etc., and they put an iron plate in the back of the shoe, but I think that if I use this cloth as a reinforcement for the amount that I thinned and thinned, I can make something lighter with the same strength than I do now.

Takeo deposits his back on the couch as he raises his hand in jealousy.

"... is that all?

"That's right.

Now (...). "

Ralph says nothing, and Takeo smiles and looks at Ralph.

The store is full of tension.

Viktor and Assena are holding back behind Takeo without saying anything, and the clerks are watching him with solitude.

"Huh... it means doing research, so... we're going to do this, right?

Ralph sighs and says it out of his face like he gave up.

Looks like you've lost your roots.

"Yes, it's coming.

Takeo nods.

"... shall I still have you through my shop..."

Ralph says that while he thinks.

"Fabric production?

What 'd you tell the inquisitor?

Takeo says as he leans his neck.

"I'll do something there.

Besides, this one... it's not that big a production workshop.

Ralph lifts the fabric and says:

"As you can see, the quality isn't very good... clearly, it's from a small workshop that doesn't have a lot of funding.

If you go with Kitamizato-sama's explanation earlier, if the research is carried out successfully, you will need a machining machine to increase the production of this fabric itself and add its liquid due to the variety of applications.

It can be expected that there will be no workshop that can be undertaken directly.

If a good quality workshop focuses on new fabrics... it must be quite difficult.

"You think it's hard to lose quality?

Takeo asks.

"Neither do we, because it's how the craftsmen see it... and I think it's more likely that the craftsmen won't be emotionally better off, and the workshop owners will have the awareness that they could take away small workshop jobs... and the question remains as to whether to convince the craftsmen to do production until they do.

"Hmm... do you mean that you can't just say hypothetical sales prospects?

Takeo thinks.

"Right.

In fact, the fabric production workshops that are creating good quality can be covered by the current workload.

You wouldn't dare want to take risks in terms of introducing new equipment, training artisans... costs, etc.

"... mmm..."

Takeo thinks.

"It's opaque to say that even if you were motivated by small workshops, you could even try new things with the financial resources and the number of craftsmen in the first place.

"From that point of view, you did a good job with the manager, Ralph.

Takeo asks without any concern.

"At least one Kitamizato-sama trench coat was good then.

I just wish I had worked hard sewing because there was some fabric, and the cost was solid.

Besides, at that time, you were considering opening a store to other territories.

... Though I never thought I would wholesale this far to other territories such as the Wang Du or the Godwin family.

Ralph says with a bitter smile.

"Really?

"Yeah, but not about the fabric.

I think we've talked about this before, but if it's for one item, the fabricator won't move.

Even if you ask for a color scheme, you need a fair amount of orders.

Plus when it comes to capital investment this time... mmm... you can't.

Ralph thinks.

"So... what does Store Manager Ralph think?

"I will buy this fabric and let it be produced by the factory.

That would increase the number of workshops producing this fabric in the form of additional production, and the enquirer would make money.

If we were to wholesale new fabrics to the Inquirer instead of monopolizing them even if we produce them... well, we'd be fine.

Well, they'll sell it cheap to unionists.

"I see, well, I'll take care of it there.

Because I wish I could do the product.

"I'm in awe.

By the way, that 'certain liquid' is confidential, isn't it?

"Yeah, you handled the resource management department of the Elvis family's economic bureau.

As I said earlier, we're still out of quantity with new materials.

It's a stage of deepening research and performance, so please don't say anything else.

Victor, I'd like you to come over to Ralph's, please.

"Yes, Master Ralph, we will bring a confidentiality agreement with us at a later date.

"I'm in awe.

Let me make a contract.

By the way, Master Kitamizato, how far are you looking?

"All this... I need to experiment, so...

Ah... there are boards in case of baking.

... this is it.

Takeo takes it out of his backpack and shows it to Ralph.

"I see... is it light?

Surely you don't know if you can actually process it into your clothes by applying it to the cloth and thinning it.

... you also take a way to dry it, right?

"Yeah, I'll experiment.

Do you think Store Manager Ralph should make it a finished product (...)?

"Ha... I hope you can also experiment with that.

Trench coat with this fabric if you need it... no, I'll make a combat vest.

"That helps.

For now, don't worry, I will work in research.

"Okay.

Ralph lowered his head.
