He smiled lightly at the curious looks of Jienna and Amy and immediately left with the two women.

The destination was the workshop street. Even in the industrial district, it was located near the entrance close to the plaza, and it was a place full of small workshops. There were small-scale woodworking workshops, workshops making custom shoes, and workshops cutting and sewing clothes.

Naturally, there was a guild of sorts for each field. Rather than a guild, it felt closer to collaborating with people in similar industries.

Of course, if they colluded, the city’s economy could be ruined, so they were managing it thoroughly.

Anyway, I came to Workshop Street with two women and headed straight to a guild.

It was a sewing guild where seamstresses, tailors, etc. gathered to create clothes using thread and fabric.

On the first floor of the Sewing Guild building, various kinds of items were displayed as if they were imitating my store. They even copied the mannequin and dressed it up on a wooden mannequin.

“Amy, isn’t that hat pretty?”

“Uh, um… … . I find a bandana more comfortable than something like that. Ah, that tunic over there is pretty.”

Thanks to this, as soon as they entered the guild, the two women started looking around as if they were looking for clothes that suited their tastes.

“As expected, the viscounts have a good sense of insight. The hat you mentioned is from the Viscanel Workshop at the end of Workshop Street, and the tunic is from the Louis Vipo Workshop, which is located in the third building to the right of the guild.”

As the two women showed interest in the items, a guild employee quickly approached them and told them about the makers of the items. In some cases, guilds sell products directly, but in the case of high-end products, it is common to connect them directly to a workshop.

Of course, I wasn’t here to buy those things right now, so I pulled the two women to my sides.

“Is the guild leader upstairs?”

“Ah, yes! My lord. I’ll guide you to the guild leader’s office.”

Perhaps it was a reflex to connect Jiena and Amy to the workshop, but the guild staff immediately began guiding them to the guild leader’s office. I had originally promised to come to the guild today.

Guided by the guild staff, we went up to the second floor and went straight into the guild leader’s room where the guild leader of the sewing guild was located.

Inside, several workshop owners were seated, including the guild leader who had been waiting in advance.

When they saw me, they immediately bowed and greeted me, but they just waved their hands and went to sit in an empty seat. Gienna and Amy cuddled up next to me, looking like they didn’t know what was going on.

“What did you tell me to prepare separately?”

“Everyone is ready!”

I sat down and got straight to the point, and the leader of the sewing guild responded bravely and brought a large box.

Then, he started putting down several items from the box one by one on the table in front of him.

Of course, since it was the item brought by the leader of the sewing guild, all the items he took out were clothing.

“Oh, it was well made? It’s better than I wanted.”

I felt satisfied as I checked the items in front of me one by one. The build quality was so good that I could take it and wear it right away.

In fact, right after the elastic fiber was created, the sewing guild was instructed to make several prototypes. Rather than simply selling fiber, it would have been better to provide examples of how the fiber could be used.

And, the items in front of me right now were the prototypes.

“Andrew. This is all made of something called elastic fiber, right?”

It may have been because she had a history of tearing elastic fibers while pulling them a while ago, but Amy immediately figured out that the prototype clothes in front of her were made of elastic fibers.

“Boss. So, is this the product you mentioned earlier that you said you would make and sell separately?”

“That’s right. There are many people who don’t know why they should use elastic fibers just because they sell them. People like familiar things more than they think. Jiena, if you had to buy just one set of clothes, which would you choose between the clothes you are familiar with and the clothes you are unfamiliar with?”

Jienna replied that familiarity was better and nodded as if she understood.

Meanwhile, like Amy, who was already showing interest in the clothes on the table, she started looking at the clothes on the table.

“Hey, boss. What kind of clothes is this? Are these clothes for children? The area is very small, and the size itself is also small.”

“Oh, that? panties. For women. Please note that it is not for children, but for adults.”

He held up a small, flimsy piece of cloth and answered confidently without hesitation to Jiena’s curious question. However, unlike my confident self, Jiena looked shocked and threw the panties she was holding on the table. As a bonus, my face was stained red.

“, why is the area so small?!”

“The shape is perfect to protect important areas. And it only looks that way because it’s made of elastic fiber, but when you actually wear it, everything that would be covered is covered.”

“Still, isn’t it too small?”

I laughed when I saw Jiena blushing when she saw the underwear, saying it was too small. However, it was an understandable reaction in its own way.

The underwear commonly worn today was a long piece of cloth with a string attached to the end and tied at the waist, or soft, loose-fitting shorts. To add exaggeration, it was no wonder that a piece of cloth slightly larger than the palm of one’s hand could not be considered ordinary underwear.

But it was clear that that perception would soon change. In the memories of my past life that I had difficulty recalling, I did not consider underwear like now to be normal.

Therefore, Jiena picked up other clothes without even looking at the panties, as if she was intentionally not paying attention.

“What is this?”

“That’s a bra. Is it something that covers and protects women’s breasts?”

“… … .”

Jiena lowered her hand as if asking why on earth she was making something like this, and then immediately picked up another item. Still, since he pulled out underwear in succession, he seemed to think that the other items were not underwear.

“It’s stockings. It is worn under armor to protect the lower body. In the summer, you can make it thin to allow for good ventilation, and in the winter, you can make it thick to keep warm.”

“You mean it’s something you wear on your legs, right? But wouldn’t it be too small? It would fit perfectly if I put my arm in it… … .”

“It’s okay because it’s made of elastic fiber. It’s growing steadily, right? On the contrary, if it is elastic like that, it will stick to the body and will not fall off even if you move roughly.”

ah! Jiena nodded as if she realized and looked at the stockings closely. It was a very different reaction from the one I had received a moment ago when I threw away the two underwear. So, I felt like I wanted to tease him a little bit.

“For your information, we also have stockings for women. It’s elastic, so it creates a little bit of pressure, and it makes your legs look a little thinner and longer. Usually, it’s under a skirt so your legs aren’t exposed much, but it’s great for situations where you need to highlight your legs.”

He smiled sinisterly as he looked at Jiena’s long legs. Of course, Jienna’s face turned bright red and she quickly put the stockings down on the table.

It was clear that she realized what kind of situation it was that required her to highlight the beautiful legs I was talking about.

“… … Can I take this with me?”

And, seeing me like that, Amy made a chit sound and snatched the stockings.

Because they took a bath together, Amy also knew Gienna’s legs well. Maybe I was thinking of appropriately thin yet long legs, but I felt like I was fooled by the idea that it could emphasize the beauty of my legs.

Since there was nothing that could not be done, I did not stop Amy from rolling up the stocking and putting it in her pocket, but instead gave her other things.

“Just now, that covers the buttocks and lower abdomen, and this only covers the legs. This is also elastic, so it doesn’t fall off easily, but it may fall off if you move it. That means you have to get a separate part to hold it.”

Amy held out another stocking, which she also neatly rolled up and put in the opposite pocket.

However, as if trying to hide that appearance, Amy showed that she was interested in other clothing along with Gienna. As I picked up the clothes on the table one by one, I asked questions about what kind of clothes they were.

“It’s just a belt. You used to tie your pants with a rope, right? If you use an elastic waist belt, you can wear it comfortably without having to tie it, right?”

“Ah, that’s similar to a corset… … . It’s clothes that correct your body shape. Because it has strong elasticity and puts pressure on the entire body, it can give you the effect of looking lean. It’s mainly sold to noble ladies.”

“It’s just normal everyday clothes. Instead, it was made so that soldiers and people who move their bodies a lot on a daily basis could wear it comfortably. Clothes made of cotton stick to your body when you sweat.”

As I picked up the items one by one and gave light answers to Jiena and Amy’s questions about what they were, the two’s blushing faces soon returned to their original state.

Rather, the more they listened to my explanation, the more they seemed to feel it was practical. Although, by general standards, some clothes were considered unconventional.

Therefore, I decided to change the universal perception that these two women had. Although men also pay a lot of attention to clothing, the main customer base for the prototypes I am about to sell is more women. I was planning to check the reactions of the two people.

“Guild leader, are you ready?”

“Don’t worry! We’ve got everything ready!”

To see the two people’s true reactions, I gave a signal to the guild leader. He told them to make a prototype out of elastic fiber and instructed them to prepare it together.

What was prepared was a wooden mannequin similar to the one seen on the first floor, with curves expressed as if it were made in the shape of a woman’s entire body. The voluptuous chest, narrow waist, and bulging buttocks were clearly expressed.

And, on the mannequin, there were products of similar shapes to those on the table. Not only underwear, but also other products are distributed among several mannequins so that they are not covered by overlapping.

“Tell me honestly. Isn’t it pretty?”

“… … Yes.”

“… … Wow, it looks really sexy but it’s so pretty.”

I shook Gienna and Amy, who were staring at the mannequin as if they were mesmerized, and they responded with admiration.

I didn’t really understand it when I just saw the clothes lying around, but when I saw what they were wearing on the mannequin, I felt like I really understood it.

“What do you think it will sell well?”

“Yes! Just looking at the clothes makes you wonder what this is, but seeing it draped in person like this makes me think it will sell well.”

Jiena, who had developed what may have been a merchant’s sense while selling items at the store, appeared to be extremely excited and agreed vehemently.

Even Amy, who had little interest in how much the item would sell, was nodding in agreement.
