That day evening-

Takeo returned to the tailor shop once again and sat down in the same place.

“I’ll tell you about the payment method now.”

He told the shop manager that was sitting across the table.

“Yes.”

The shop manager was listening nervously.

“Every month when you produce the 45 pieces of coats, you can receive the payment in a lump sum from the Elvis household.

Is that fine?”

“Eh………….. I thought that you were looking at installments.”

“I managed it somehow.”

By the way, Takeo had gone to the soldier station after leaving the tailor shop earlier in the day.

He spoke to the soldier chief and the 4th platoon leader in charge of the general affairs of the soldiers.

-The installment of each soldier would be managed by the 4th platoon leader in charge of the general affairs.

– The payment from the soldiers would be deducted monthly from their salaries.

-The payment collected will remain with the soldier chief and will be paid to the Elvis household every month.

Takeo returned to the mansion immediately after that conversation.

Takeo received the approval of Mr. Elvis and Fredrick for-

-Making the payment on lump sum every month for the coats made.

– Received the installment payment every month from the soldier chief. 

The Elvis household sent an order letter to the soldier chief.

“However, I have 1condition in order to make the lump sum payment.”

“………….What is it?”

“I want the name of the soldier that the trench coat belongs to, to be embroidered in the inside of the trench coat’s pocket.”

“……….Understood.”

“Thank you.

The installment is managed and collected by the soldiers. I am requesting this so that we know who the coat is going to and who the money has been collected from.”

“Understood. Then let’s add some magic to the embroidered name so that it cannot be changed.”

“I’ll leave that to you.”

“So that’s it.

We’ve now received the permission inclusive of the price so you can now officially make an order.

Please go to mansion with the contract that you’ve made with me and meet Mr. Fredrick to give him the official purchase order and confirmation.”

“Understood.”

“………..So that’s all.

Ah, I want to wear my trench coat and return. I’m sorry but can you get it out for me?”

Takeo wore his trench coat and attached the lapel that he received from the magic goods store.

“This is what it will look like.”

Takeo wore it and showed the manager of the tailor shop.

“Hoo, the feeling changes once you add the lapel.

Oh? That rank badge, isn’t it different from the original?”

“1 golden line is exclusively for the Elvis household.

The white line is for the soldiers.”

“I see.”

“Then, I’ll take my leave.”

“Yes. Sir Kitamizato, thank you for your support from here on as well.”

“Same here.

I’ll get back to you if I think of something again.”

“Understood.”

“Then, I’ll be leaving.”

Takeo took his luggage and left the store.

Takeo was almost reaching the Elvis mansion.

Come to think of it, when he went to the mansion earlier in the day, he had felt some panic.

“Was something going on?”

Takeo had curiously thought but since he was occupied with the payment method, he didn’t pay it any mind.

‘Well, Mr. Elvis and Mr. Fredrick didn’t seem to be bothered or anything so it couldn’t be something serious.’ He thought.

He reached the mansion while thinking of all this.

Fredrick was at the entrance.

“Welcome back, Sir Takeo.”

“Mr. Fredrick, thank you for your hard work. I’m back.

The payment method had been approved.”

“Is that so? Let’s hear about that after dinner.

………..Is that the ‘trench coat’?”

“Yes. That’s right.

I’ll announce it to everyone a little later.

For now, I’ll return back to my room for a short rest and then head to the living room.”

“Certainly.”

Takeo headed back to his room.

Takeo was certainly back………….to his room.

When he opened the door after removing his coat –

“Huh?”

He felt strangely uncomfortable.

Today was the 5th day. He had been sleeping here for the past 4 days……..but something was strange…

The arrangements of the desk, bed, and the books………were the same though?

He curiously entered the room and suddenly realized……..

“Ah! The miscellaneous goods that I bought are not here!?”

The goods that he had pushed to the corner of the room weren’t there.

Anyway, he put down his coat and the stuff that he was carrying.

Hnn…

If he was disliked by the people in the house then he could have considered this as harassment, as a sign to leave but…

He had been living peacefully till now so that possibility was very low.

There must have been some reason for it but since Fredrick didn’t say anything, it couldn’t have been too important.

The reason must have been some kind of a surprise of some mischief……………..the mastermind behind this was Grandpa, was it?

…………How was he to react…………Takeo was worried.

Well, there was no other choice than to ask the mastermind behind this. 

Takeo headed to the living room.
