Saving 80,000 Gold in an Another World for Retirement
chapter-140

140 . One Generation Fujoshi

(Narator’s POV)

Kishiyama Noriko . Nicknamed [Kissie] . Another alias, [Princess Knight] .

(Note: [Princess Knight] = [Himekishi])

The origin of her alias is that she is good at cosplaying [Princess Knight Armor] .

As a cosplayer from the early days, where cosplay was not yet common, it was not the princess knight armor that was recently popular, but the one that was popular in the past, the so-called [Bikini Armor] generation . But later, she worked on low-exposure costumes, all by herself .

Then, she was asked by friends she met at the Comiket venue and showed her skills in sewing with a Sailor Moon cosplay costume, since then she received a lot of costume creation requests from other cosplayers .

From the experience at that time, she was awakened to the pleasure of [Creating and putting on the cosplay that fits the charm of the wearer] . As she grows old… *cough cough* as the chance of doing cosplay by herself decreases, she was committed to creating custom-made costumes for young cosplayers… *cough cough* for other cosplayers who were not good at making things .

Then, when she retired from the front line as a cosplayer, she opened her own shop, which had been fully prepared by then .

…it doesn’t mean that she only doing cosplay related things . She was doing her primary job and studying properly . And her primary job was…

[Maiden Dressmaker] (Note: Her store name)

Normally, she makes normal dresses . However, when there’s a request, she makes cosplay costumes .

The material to be used depends on the budget, but even if the client does not have enough money to make a request for a cheap material, it is unacceptable for her if the client went home empty handed . That is the spirit of a maiden .

And while she spent her days doing unsophisticated work for the sake of her livelihood, she also looks forward to the occasional [worth-doing Job] or [the job that stimulates my creativity, even if it’s for free] . She dreams of a day when something comes to her…

And one day, a dream-like request comes in . A day where she can dedicate herself without worrying about the budget .

… Right, a dream that would never come true, for a privately-owned dressmaker in such a small town .

Until that day…

(The POV shifted to Manager-san’s)

“Manager-san, please make dresses for me! The ones that I can wear at foreign noble parties, you don’t have to worry about the budget! ASAP!” (Mitsuha)

“W-Wh-Wha-What did you say!!!” (Manager-san)

A neighborhood child that I had known since childhood, Mitsuha-chan, said something ridiculous .

Noble party? Should I make it from the finest silk material?

Eh, What, you’re fine with that?

Are you for real!! This is the deposit you say, is this only upfront? You’ll leave everything about the design to me?

Alright! You can leave it to me!

…and I completed one of the most important works all night long .

Ahh, I’m burnt out… It’s pure white…

After a long time, it was a passionating-job . With this, I can fight for another three years…

Alright, let’s make a report to Mitsuha-chan .

Wh-What! The dress is very popular with the foreigners, and I got tasty job offers you say!?

Oooh!

Oooooooooh!

Let’s close the shop for today!

And, using half a month of food expenses, let’s celebrate at a French restaurant!

The restaurant is, of course, the French restaurant [Salon de Sucre] . Let’s call chef Kanai and make a reservation for the Gourmand dinner course, and the wine is Veuve Cilcquot, the white one!

Aah, that day, I was so fired up…

I wonder if that kind of work will come again…

…

“Manager-san, I’d like to make a dress for a noble daughter from a foreign country, the dress is for her social debut party! Failure is absolutely not allowed, it’s an important job that can affect the future of that child, can you take it? 3 pieces, the budget is unlimited . …even so, please keep it below 3 million if possible…” (Mitsuha)

Is this for real!?

“W-wh-what an honor! What a bliss!” (Manager-san)

I spontaneously hugged Mitsuha-chan… No, No, it doesn’t matter!

A dream-like job that I thought it would never come! The dress for social debut of a noble girl!

This is an opportunity that will never come twice . Let’s burn out this life, literally, and show the power of Japanese! Please witness the sparkle of life of this Kishiyama Noriko!

Eh? You want to do a short play?

The story about knight king, you say?

It’s my specialty!! Prepare a sword? Leave it to me!

In return, I want to ask photos, the photos please!! If possible, a movie! I will give a discount!

Ah, before that, if I could meet the girl… If I can meet the girl, I can get the image . The image of the perfect dress design for that child .

Also, if it’s a foreign country, there are trends that are unique to that country, unseen rules such as not-showing legs, modest exposure, and various traditions . I want to check the information about that country and get as many samples as possible . Therefore, I would like to see sample pictures of dresses with design that are currently popular in that country . Can I ask you that, Mitsuha-chan? You can? Alright! Then, I want it as soon as possible, please!!

“Yes, yes, It’s here!!!” (Manager-san)

It came! It really came, a foreign noble girl!!

… and why is she blindfolded? Please take it quickly…

“Super beautiful girl has come!!” (Manager-san)

I conducted physical measurements and talked with the beautiful girl with Mitsuha-chan as interpreter .

Aaah, it was good to be alive…

The rising power, the flowing blood, and the enthusiasm!

And Mitsuha-chan gave me a memory card . I immediately opened it on my computer, and I can see the dresses displayed at the store there, the dresses that spread out on the bed, maybe it’s someone’s… Oooh, there are many photos when the owner wearing it!

How Cute!! Ooh, the pose and smile… Aaaaah, Thank you Mitsuha-chan!! I’ll follow you for my whole lifetime!

One week after I delivered the dresses that I’m proud of . The party should already be over .

Soon . It should come soon…

“Manager-san–“ (Mitsuha)

It’s here!!

Before Mitsuha-chan finishes her words, I grabbed the memory card from her hand and dashed to the computer!

This is bad, my hands are trembling, I can’t insert it well… Alright, the card has inserted!

Bufu– (SFX)

Oops, the nosebleeds…

Tarari (SFX)

Oops, the drools…

Patapata (SFX)

Aah, my tears…

Ooh, Oooooooohh!!

She’s wearing it . My dress . A girl wearing my dress is acclaimed by foreign aristocrats!

Even if you don’t understand the language, this video will tell you that in one shot!

Ooooohh…

Mitsuha-chan is saying something from behind, but I don’t care .

Now, I’m doing my best to enjoy this happiness…

I sent an email to Mitsuha-chan .

Email seems to be the most reliable means of communication because she always absent and hard to catch .

“Do you have the next job for me! the one where a noble girl involved!!” (Manager-san)

And I figured that Mitsuha-chan seemed to call me [Fujoshi Store Manager], so I complained about it .

“I’m not [Yaoi-fan (BL)] but [Yuri-fan (GL)]! So it’s not [Fujoshi]! Change the name!” (Manager-san)

…Mitsuha-chan, I don’t mind if you call me [Onee-sama] you know?
