After receiving blessings from the manager, Takeo and Alice went to check out the necessary furniture.

“Let’s decide on the bed.”

They went to the bed section.

Takeo was…………confused after he reached there.

“………..3 types? Is it a lot? Or is it less?”

Alice seemed confused as well.

“…………………..Any way Lady Alice, please sleep on the bed to check it out.”

“Yes.”

Alice lied down on the first bed.

“………..The buttocks seem to be sinking quite a bit into the bed.

……………But the neck and back look well just fine.

…………..Lady Alice, please turn to the side.”

Alice did as she was told and turned to one side…..

“…………As I had thought. Isn’t the waist area sinking too low??”

“Lady Alice, please lie down on the 2nd one.”

“Yes.”

Alice went to the second bed.

“……………Is it stiff all over? It seems to be sinking in though. There are gaps at the waist and near the back of the neck…….

Please turn over to the side.”

Alice did as she was told and turned over……..

“………….The entire body is sinking, is it?………….. Worst case, we can do something to support the neck with…………but what should we do about the waist?……………”

“Lady Alice, please go to the 3rd one next.”

“Yes.”

Alice lied down on the 3rd bed.

“……………The whole thing seems to be very fluffy and is sinking in quite a bit………….is it out of question?

Lady Alice, please turn over.”

Alice turned to her side as requested……

“……………The sinking is quite severe…………so no way right…………”

“Lady Alice, which one did you like?”

“The 3rd bed is similar to the temporary bed that we’re using right now.”

“Yes. So then it’s a choice between the 1st and 2nd one right?”

“…………If I had to choose one then maybe the 2nd one?”

“Manager.”

“What is it Sir Kitamizato?”

“Please let Lady Alice take a short nap on the 2nd bed.

Please bring a soft pillow for her.”

“Certainly.”

He brought a soft pillow.

“Lady Alice, please lie down on the 2nd bed.”

“Yes.”

Alice went to the bed and lied down on it.

Takeo lifted her neck up slightly to put the pillow under her neck.

He made the portion near the neck a little thicker.

“Sir Takeo?”

“Please take a short nap.

I’ll come and wake you up later.”

He put the blanket over her and left with the manager.

Another employee watched over the sleeping Alice from an appropriate distance to ensure her safety.

Alice watched the ceiling and drifted into a deep sleep.

Takeo left Alice and went to look for furniture for his study, starting with the bookshelf.

“Nnn…………… don’t you have a unified set like a study piece?”

“We don’t. You will have to decide on them individually.”

He would look for the bookshelf first.

‘………..Isn’t there a simple frame?’

Takeo thought.

There were sliding doors, hinged doors, and double doors.

“Hn……………..”

“Did you not find anything that you like?”

“Hnn……………….it’s difficult to imagine when I look at them separately like this………

……………Can you show me tables, chairs, and bookshelf made by the same craftsman?”

“Understood.”

He guided him to some furniture made by another craftsman.

This one had 3 sets as well.

The 1st one had a profound design, it was small and rounded set.

The 2nd one had an excessively classical design.

The 3rd one was a small design that emphasized storage.

‘So the 1st or the 3rd one…………’

Takeo thought.

He also wanted to know Alice’s opinion.

He decided that it was about to wake him up.

“Lady Alice.”

He tapped her on the shoulder to wake her up.

“Hnn………..Sir Takeo?”

Alice’s raised her upper body.

“Did you sleep well?”

“Yes, it felt good.”

“Then can we go look at my study set for a bit?”

“Yes.”

He took Alice to check the 3 study sets.

After checking them out Alice said, “It should be the 1st or the 3rd one right?”

“That’s what I thought.”

“When I saw the furniture for the study, I didn’t like it at first glance.

It seems to emphasize design since it’s made for rooms that invite more public.

The 1st set emphasizes the storage of books and the 3rd one is for small items.”

“Yes, I felt so too.”

“In that case, what would be more useful later on………………….?”

“That’s the question.”

“…………I think we can go with the 1st one…….”

Takeo decided.

“Is that alright with you?”

Alice asked for his final decision.

“Yes, we’ll take that.

We’ll decide the rest after we place the furniture in the room.”

“Understood. Mr. Manager.”

“Yes.”

“We’ll take this chair, table, and bookshelf for Sir Takeo’s use.”

“Certainly.”

He said.

“Now then Lady Alice.”

“Yes.”

“Will you take a nap on the 1st bed for a little bit?”

“Once again?”

Alice was kind of dissatisfied.

“A person uses their bed for the longest in their life.

I want to choose one such that it doesn’t strain your body, Lady Alice.”

“Muu…………………..if you put it like that then I can only obey you…………..”

“Yes, yes, let’s go to the bed.”

Alice reluctantly took a nap.
