Omniscient First-Person’s Viewpoint - Chapter 157

EP.157 After the daily clothing packets of military citizens

were invented, the meaning of the fitting room changed to a place to hide one’s eyes while changing clothes packets. The fitting room, which was a symbol of luxury in the days of the kingdom, has gradually become narrower and darker, and now it has changed to a size that can barely fit one person.

After changing clothes in the fitting room, the captain carefully opened the door and came out.

“…question. Is this really your everyday wear?”

For everyday wear, it was a well-thought-out design. The pleated skirt with the fabric added to the top made by adding color to the shirt gave off the impression of an upper-class citizen who was quite careful about his attire.

The captain glanced at his whole body as if his clothes were not familiar.

“how is it. Does it feel different from what you used to wear? This is the taste of homemade products that cannot be felt with supplies…”

“…Clothes don’t tighten the body. It’s like you’re not wearing anything.”

“yes?”

What the hell does that mean? You think you’re not wearing anything? It’s strange to call it a compliment, right?

“So you mean the clothes are comfortable?”

“denial. It’s inconvenient. Because the clothes don’t cover the body… the stiffness… is lacking.”

‘There is no sense of hugging the main building. It seems that everything in the world has let go of the main building…! I’m anxious!’

is that the problem? Does that mean that you are uncomfortable because your clothes are not uncomfortable?

What kind of life have you lived, Captain Abbey?

More than I was dumbfounded, Shimen was humiliated at the thought of not being able to satisfy her customers.

“You seem to like tight clothes. It is my negligence.”

no. That captain doesn’t like to be tight, he just feels secure in uncomfortable clothes and inconvenient situations. I was raised wrong.

With a grim expression on his face, Semen took another packet of clothes and headed for Aki Avatar in the corner.

“I made a mistake. In the past, I used to measure the size myself and ask the customer’s preference or taste. Since the development of the clothing packet, the personal preferences of guests have been neglected. Working on Aki Avatar is easy and it fits everyone.”

Aki Avatar. A magical mannequin imitating the human body.

The clothing packet, one of the seven greatest inventions of the military, can only be created when this Aki Avatar exists. If you make clothes with alchemy fabric on the Aki avatar and make it into a packet, when you insert it into another biometric terminal, the clothes will be built according to the avatar entered in that person’s biometric terminal.

“I will reduce the size of certain portions here. It will stick a little tight when you put the packet on.”

Smen quickly fixed the clothes on Aki’s avatar, then put it back into the packet. The captain, who was handed a new packet, went straight into the fitting room, put it on, and came out.

“ah. Much more comfortable!”

The captain’s clothes, which speak even brighter, were tight, just like his uniform. I touched my forehead, but Semen’s eyes brightened, saying that he had found the owner of the tight clothes.

Sumen handed over a dress, everyday clothes, and pajamas one by one. After accepting the packet, the captain reached out to me and searched his pockets.

“The main building will pay the money.”

But before the captain could take out the money, Shimen bowed politely and refused.

“How can I get money from Mr. Hughes’ guest? Just wearing it is enough.”

“denial. If that’s the case, it’s like taking a bribe. We cannot accept any monetary payment from anyone, including you.”

The captain’s attitude was firm. Shimen gave a small sigh and bowed even more as if he couldn’t help it.

“Then there is nothing you can do. Just give me 50 alkes.”

Even the most basic entry-level shirt made in a factory costs 50 alkes. If three packets of clothes you made yourself cost 50 Alke, it’s almost free.

If the captain knew even a little about the market, he would have been puzzled. however.

‘I’ve never used the main building except for supplies and supplies, so I don’t know the market price… Was it 50 alke? It feels less than the headmaster’s salary…?’

Of course, Sumen hit me. But I made a fuss so that the captain couldn’t even suspect it.

“No, 50 Alke? I’ve become a merchant while I haven’t seen Smen! How rich are you going to get that much!”

‘What? trader? …aha. Did you mean that?’

I still instinctively get angry when I hear those words. Still, Shimen was a seasoned tailor, and he was a pro with experience in tailoring clothes to the aristocracy.

Semen did not lose his composure and matched to my rhythm.

“Please understand. Even though he’s Mr. Hughes’s guest, this old man is just an ugly person who will starve to death if he doesn’t have money.”

“I can’t help it. It’s okay though! The captain’s salary will be much higher than this!”

“Shouldn’t we overcharge those who can afford it? If you can’t afford it even with the captain’s salary, you don’t have to pay it.”

It was said that if the three of them worked together, they would create a tiger that did not exist. Two people were enough to cheat the market price to the ignorant captain.

In fact, I could have done it alone. Two people are too much.

“…check. I will pay.”

What kind of irony is this to be a telecommunications soldier who knows the secret 4th level information but doesn’t know the market price.

Semen smiled warmly at the lieutenant’s ignorance, not pity, but naivety. Then, as if he had just remembered, he handed me a packet of clothes.

“Oh and Hughes. These are the clothes you always wear.”

“thank you. What is the price?”

“Just take it.”

It was an expected answer, but I pretended not to know.

“Can I?”

Semen nodded without hesitation.

“Didn’t Mr. Hughes directly tell me about the clothing packet technology when I couldn’t let go of my obsession with old-fashioned clothes? You helped me start anew, and that’s about it.”

“Then what?”

They treated me like a benefactor when I only gave them the knowledge I stole through mind reading. Kww. That’s why it’s easier to give grace to those who pay well. Debts of the heart follow forever.

Unlike the captain, I was positive only to bribes directed at me, so I did not refuse the free clothes. As I was packing a packet of clothes, Smen lowered his voice and whispered in my ear.

“And about a week ago, the lady found it.”

“Is that him? why?”

“I didn’t even ask. I just told you that I haven’t seen you lately.”

Awesome. I don’t want to have anything to do with that. okay. let’s pretend we don’t know If it’s urgent, that person will contact you first.

After finishing my errands, I waved my hand at Smen.

“Anyway, thank you. I’ll just go.”

“Take a look.”

I went out with the track still puzzled.

Even though it was just repaired, it looked natural as if it had been built that way from the beginning. The captain, dressed in a slightly tight suit, clearly showed off his body line.

I don’t know if I’m open-minded or conservative. Tight clothes mean that you will accept your own discomfort and reveal your presence to the world.

anyway.

“I’ll change my clothes too. Shall we go eat now?”

“You mean the meal?”

At my suggestion, the captain looked around for a while. Captain, who checked the time on the clock in the alley, firmly expressed his refusal.

“refuse. This is not the permitted meal time for the main building.”

“Aren’t you going to eat unless it’s mealtime?”

“…? What does that mean? Isn’t it common sense to eat at mealtime?”

what are you talking about You should eat when you are hungry.

The captain and I met eyes and tilted our heads to each other.

“beep. Is there a rule that you have to eat only at certain times?”

‘The signalman is obliged to observe meal times. Eating indiscriminately or overeating causes many problems. For example, problems such as the body becoming dull or having to apply for additional supplies due to lack of supplies.’

“…it’s confidential.”

Education seems to be good. It was still kept secret so as not to reveal information related to the signal soldier even by mistake.

Anyway, I kind of figured it out. There are different ways to deal with this type of person.

“Beep, they say that you need to eat well because energy consumption is high after such a long trip.”

“I don’t deny it. However, the main building believes that eating meals on time is sufficient. There is no need to break the set time.”

“The most important thing is to be sincere in your work. Rules exist for better work. Wouldn’t that be more of a problem if you neglect your mission because you’re hungry?”

“There is no such thing as the main officer neglecting his duties just because he is a little hungry.”

The captain proudly asserted so.

“Boiled Beans Stew Meat Beans Steamed.”

“…Churup. town!”

Saliva flowing reflexively into my judo. The captain hastily wiped the saliva flowing from his mouth.

While riding the meta-conveyor belt, I was exposed to the cold air and couldn’t even eat a proper meal. There is no jaw not to be hungry.

A person stuck in a closet is the hunger of a person who goes outside who never knows.

“Just hearing the sound of beans makes my mouth water, isn’t it okay?”

“Boo negative. No problem. I just drool a little.”

“Are you going to do that mission? Just hearing the sound of food makes me drool and I will work really well! You should fill your stomach and think about working harder!”

“Kuk.”

“Answer me! Is it positive or negative?”

When I yelled at him, the captain lowered his head and gave a sign of affirmation.

“…that yes.”

Coincidentally, there was something similar to a restaurant on the market street. I took the captain and headed for a stall full of people.

In one corner of the restaurant, people were sitting at tables that were lined up. People chattered and ate something indescribable food from bowls in front of them. I took a seat in an unoccupied corner around the corner and banged on a table.

“Anna, here’s one of today’s menus.”

Then people’s eyes turned to me. Some of them recognized me and pretended to know me.

“Hughes?”

“what. I thought he died because he suddenly disappeared.”

“There’s no way that bastard will go after him, right?”

I responded with a smile and called the name of the person who was working hard to stir-fry and boil something on the iron plate inside.

“aunt! I’m hungry!”

When I brought out the word hungry, the owner responded and turned around.

She was a middle-aged woman full of life. From the hood on the forehead to the arms with the sleeves rolled up, this is what an expert on life would look like.

She looked at my face and spoke with a cool smile.

“Hugh, long time no see! Who is next to you?”

“He’s a new friend.”

“It’s suspicious when you say you’re a friend. Aren’t you a criminal?”

“Now I’m going to make you a criminal.”

‘?! Was that what you meant?!’

Although the captain was terrified, he was so overwhelmed by the attention that was pouring on him that he couldn’t even refute! Meanwhile, Anna rolled up her arms again.

“That slimy kid you always had… What was his name?”

“Are you talking about Anton?”

“That’s right, that child! Yes, a bright young lady is better than Anton! it looks a lot better Oh look at my mind Wait a minute, I’ll stir-fry you a bowl.”

Anna oiled the griddle and poured out the pre-soaked canned beans. A cloud of pure white steam rose up, and people’s cheers rang out.

The captain, who had swallowed saliva unconsciously, hurriedly looked away and looked at me.

“question. What the hell is your identity? Why are so many people recognizing you?”

what the. There are all sorts of trivial questions. What if you’re curious enough to find out?

“I told you I lived here. If so, of course you would have been open face to face with people. Everyone has about a hundred friends, right?”

“But…”

the captain thought to himself, feeling the weight of interest pouring out on me and my companion.

‘Looks like there’s a lot of popularity. question. How can such a dubious and untrustworthy petty criminal gain popularity?’

what is this baby?

“What does that but mean?”

The captain hesitantly replied.

“…it’s confidential.”

“Don’t be ridiculous!”

An involuntary loner confined to a small room… No, a voluntary loner? militaristic loner? what should i say about this

hey i’ll be patient poor man poor man

You can tell the captain I’m a dubious social misfit. You can call me a petty criminal.

But I can’t tell the captain that you’re one of the best loners in the military. Isn’t that too much?

I sighed and waited for the dish to be served.
