Takeo smiled at Smith’s question.

“I just felt that…………..till the end.”

“Even so………..why did you feel something like that?”

“………………If you want to hire employees from the same industry, simply speaking, you need to offer a higher salary than the one they are currently being paid in order to hire them……

That’s what I’m trying to say.”

“Yes.”

“However, there may be an internal conflict between the employees if the new employees hired have a higher salary than the current employees. The difference in salary would be a problem.

That’s why it would be necessary to increase the salary of the current employees as well.

So the 1st bet was to increase the personal and external expenses of the tailor shop by thinking that it will be the right thing to do.”

“I see.”

“Moreover, if they were to successfully complete the order for the Elvis household within the next 2 years, they cannot dismiss the workers after that.

That means that they are expecting subsequent orders.

That is the 2nd bet.”

“Do you have a different opinion Sit Takeo?”

Alice asked.

“That’s right. If it was me, I wouldn’t have taken a bet to make 45 pieces a month.

There needs to be some inspiration.

…….Maybe making some women’s clothing? I don’t really understand it well though.”

“Even you don’t understand it?
Alice asked.

“Haha. Thank you for thinking so highly of me but I don’t understand it at all.”

“Young master Smith, while giving your measurements for the coat, you can try asking.”

“Me?”

“If I ask, the real intention will be……….I think they may not be able to say it.”

Takeo laughed.

“Will they tell me?”

“Yes, I think they might.

You’re someone close to me but you’re still a third party when it comes to the trench coat.

It’s not directly connected to Mr. Elvis or Mr. Fredrick’s work either.”

“That’s right. I understand what Sir Takeo is saying.”

Fredrick said.

“Fredrick you think so as well?”

“Yes, it’s as Sir Takeo said……..

They cannot produce more than 30 pieces per month according to the current forecast, so they’ve hired more people, raised costs, and made a bet.

But Takeo cannot ask about that.”

“Is that so?”

“Does it sound bad?”

Takeo smiled.

“Is it fine if I ask?”
Smith asked.

“I think it’s fine. The tailor shop may like it.

Sir Takeo formed a contract without know finding out more about that so-

‘What would Sir Takeo think…………..’ you can say that you sound like to know that.

If the actual person were to ask it may hurt their pride as a tailor shop.

It could be taken badly no matter what he was to say.”

“Is that so?”

Smith asked.

“Yes. So please do ask about it.

I’ll leave it to you young master Smith about what to tell the tailor shop.”

“Eh? I should think about what to say?”

“Yes, that would be good.

No matter what you say it won’t affect the situation negatively.

Even if you say something wrong, my relationship with the tailor shop won’t change.

So please be carefree.”

“Un………….. Understood.”

Smith replied.

Takeo took his luggage that he had put away in the living room and took out the trench coat.

“This is the trench coat.

Lady Alice, here, try it on.”

He gave the coat to Alice.

“Thank you.”

Alice put it on.

“She turned to the left and right. She tied her belt and removed it and felt the fabric.

“How is it? Is it strange?”

“No. It’s not strange, it’s just that I felt it for the first time…………

I thought it may be warm once I put it on but I started to feel warm after a little time had passed.”

“Hoo, that’s nice.”

“Your body heat will heat warm the air inside the coat and it won’t let it get released.”

Takeo smiled cheerfully.

“I’ll try it on too.”

“It’s a little big but will you try mine on?”

Takeo gave his coat to Grandpa Elvis.

He buttoned up and swung around lightly.

“Takeo………….its hot……………I’m starting to sweat.”

Grandpa Elvis began to fan his face.

Takeo opened some of the buttons near the chest and cuff and the belt to let some air in.

“I see. So you can adjust it………………. but removing the belt is troublesome.”

“Then.”

Takeo tied the belt at the back.

“Hn? It doesn’t bother me so much.

What did you do?”

“Hm? I just tied it at the back?”

“Is that so?…………….hm……so that’s it.”

Grandpa Elvis nodded, arbitrarily convinced about something.

Alice came closer to Takeo and turned her back to him

“Sir Takeo, please tie it up for me as well.”

Takeo tied it up a little different as compared to Grandpa Elvis…..

He tied a bow at the back.

“…………Sir Takeo? It’s a different method?”

Alice checked it out and asked him.

“I thought that this would suit you better.”

“……..It’s nice.

Please teach me how to do it later.”

“Yes, I will.”

Alice removed her coat and handed it over to Smith.

Smith put it on and started to move in light surprise. He was starting to sweat.

Takeo’s coat was now on Fredrick.

“Hoo.”

Fredrick nodded and played around with the buttons etc.

“How is it, everyone? Can you wear it?”

“Hmm, I think this will work.”

Everyone nodded at Grandpa Elvis’s words.

“That’s great to hear.”

Takeo smiled at them all.
