40 Seconds [Part 1]

The next morning.

The three Stuart siblings and Leonard somehow barely made it on time to the evening party held in the royal castle.

Tonight, they were guided to the largest and most luxurious room among the several evening party venues in the royal castle.

Most of the guests had already arrived, and it seemed like no one would arrive later than the Stuarts.

"Emma-sama!"

When Emma turned towards t...

"What should we do…? This is an invitation to the evening party... which is tomorrow night!"

When they hurriedly checked its contents, the invitation to the evening party, which had troubled Hannah as well as Emma's friends from the embroidery class, also reached House Stuart.

"Have we… completely ignored the Royal Family's invitation!?"

It's been almost one week since the letter arrived.

Is there any offense as gr...

"Meow! Meow! Meow!"

Finally done with this busy week after finishing the 5 dresses, the Stuart family were relaxing in the living room with the cats for the first time in a while.

"?? What's wrong, Ryuu-chan?"

Ryuu-chan, who often liked to meow noisily in the past, but had supposedly become calmer in this world, was now trying to get the family's attention.

The Answers to Prayers [Part 2]

"Excuse me, I'm deeply sorry for this, but would it be alright if I gave you your part-time pay after I receive the payment for the dresses?

The shopkeeper confessed that he didn't have enough money right now for payment worthy of their craft.

"Part-time pay? ...ahh, now that I think about it, that's what we talked about at the beginning, huh?"

"I'd forgotten about it." Emma widened her eyes and la...

"All done~!!!"

As if bewitched by a fox, the shopkeeper and Hannah stood blankly with their mouths open. They couldn't believe what they were seeing right now.

They had finished it. The five dresses.

They made it with enough time before the appointed day of delivery.

♠♠♠

Hannah and the shopkeeper got married the same day that they met the three siblings who are nobles…

The Tailor Shop and a Bossy-Boots [Part 3]

Of the shops in the shopping district, it may be possible that young ladies came to those facing the main street, like Joshua's store. It was unlikely for them to visit a shop located on a street where even carriages couldn't pass through.

"In other words, the young ladies who only wanted a look at the shopkeeper used the Royal Family's evening party as an excuse, and thus your shop was suddenly crowded with...

"First of all, tell me about the progress of the dresses. Let's do our best to finish at least all the designs by today. After the designs are done, I will do the basting. Nii-sama will make the accessories and decorations, and William will take a quick trip to the slums to fetch Harold-san and a few handy children. The embroidery work... Father is out today, so Hannah-san, if you may." 2021-12-29 17:34:43 +0000 UTC View Post

The Tailor Shop and Bossy-Boots [Part 1]

Do nobles eat such dreamily sweet and delicious sweets every day?

Just as Hannah was about to sigh, the girl before her smiled brightly as she finished the last bite of a sweet that both looked and tasted exquisite.

A situation like this where Hannah, a mere commoner, was having tea with a noble girl, should have been impossible. Even so, that girl looked incredib...

Workaholic [Part 2]

Emma's POV

.........memories of the busy period at work in my previous life and our days of poverty in this life came vividly to mind.

When I looked beside me, George nii-sama alias Wataru, who, in our past life, was even more of an extreme workaholic than Minato, was nodding deeply to Hannah's words.

"Just why......"

On the way home from the academy, Emma was walking through the shopping district with George, William, and Joshua.

Even though school was finally over, Francesca, Marion, Catherine, and Caitlyn all couldn't come out to play.

Even though this was the week that Emma was finally exempted from her grandmother's hellish one-to-one etiquette training.

"Is this embroidery your own work?"

The one speaking to me as they pointed at my clothes was the person who would become my current shopkeeper.

I couldn't buy new clothes, so I was only wearing secondhand clothing given out by the church.

After being washed and worn repeatedly for many years, the cloth was thinning and getting worn out. To strengthen the clothes, I had embro...

Hannah screamed.

She was already in charge of three dresses by herself, but the orders put in by the nobles were endless.

Even though the social season had just begun, the tailors were so flooded with orders that even a small store like this was also tracked down.

Due to the sudden evening party hosted by the Royal Family this weekend, every tailor in the royal capital was b...

"Ah! Pick me! I want to go to Imperial Japan!"

Emma's right hand shot up and she stood up, offering herself as a candidate.

"You have school, don't you?"

At Melsa's implied 'No', Emma lowered her hand dejectedly.

"Meow, meow...... (It's okay......)"

Koumei-san comforted Emma by patting her back with her front leg.

"Then I will go. Both George and William also have school, after all."

Melsa's POV

Early in the morning, a carriage left the mansion for Simmons county.

I had decided, on short notice, to take a trip to Imperial Japan because there was something I had to have. Perhaps that was why my travelling companion in the seat before me scrunched up his face in annoyance, a sight that made me giggle.

My fellow traveler, Oliver, glared in a reproaching man...

"Does the House of Bell not have an exclusive tailor?"

Duke-ranked households should naturally have a personal tailor, at least.

The House of Delacour had a tailor, one who had worked exclusively for them for a long time, but on occasions like this, when they didn't have enough time, they needed to find additional assistant seamstresses.

"It's because our House doesn't make dresses that often..."

The King absently wiped away the tears that came from Melsa's (made-up) story.

The normally gruff, muscular hunk of a man was currently shedding great globs of tears, not caring that he was being watched.
