New Slippers
After welcoming Alicia and Ra-chan, we entered the entrance hall to guide them inside.
Although, it’s impossible to guide every one of the guards inside so the guards are first guided to a separate residence where they will stay.
Since the other sides are all guards from the Duke’s house it might make someone nervous, but she’ll probably be able to do it since it’s Sara. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
「Before you enter the mansion, please take off your outside shoes and put on the indoor shoes and slippers here」
「Slippers?」
Hearing what Elna-kaasan said, Ra-chan tilted her head slightly to the side.
There are a lot of cases in Misphilt Kingdom where you even wear your outside shoes inside the house. Alicia also looks surprised, I guess they think that they will spend their time in our mansion wearing outside shoes.
「Look, it’s these animals over here」
「What’s this, it’s cute!」
We have more or less moderately designed slippers for guests, but there are also the Gekota and Pyonkichi series slippers that I made.
When I presented them, Ra-chan’s eyes shone and she eagerly jumped at them.
「Take off your shoes and then put your feet inside them like this」
「Like this?」
When I put on the Pyonkichi slippers, Ra-chan also put her feet inside another slippers.
「Right right」
「Uwaa, there are frogs on my feet it’s cute!」
I guess she liked the Gekota slippers. Ra-chan looks at her own slippers and cutely jumps up and down on them.
Incidentally, when I showed them to Viscount Dole, he was just as excited as Ra-chan but the level of cuteness is worlds apart.
「I was also confused at first, but it’s easy to wear now that I’m used to it」
「Ahahaha, Eric’s slippers are piggie-san!」
Ra-chan is happy after seeing Tonkichi on Eric’s feet. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
As the creator of those slippers, I feel thankful when I see someone being this happy just by seeing the slippers.
「Alicia-sama too, please wear this」
「Ara, I’m the only one wearing normal slippers?」
When Sylvio-niisan recommended normal slippers to Alicia, she replied with that line.
It appears that Sylvio-niisan is confused about that, so I - as someone acquainted with her - asks.
「Umm, so Alicia-sama also wants to wear animal slippers?」
「Yes, I mean, they are much cuter. And besides, it will feel like I’m being left out if I wear the normal slippers, it’s sad」
Alicia said while making a sad-looking girl’s expression.
That gesture was very refined, but somehow it looked fake.
Eleonora-neesan - who sees that from behind - also looks a little annoyed when she sees that action of her pretending to be an innocent girl. I wonder if she feels something from her gesture as a girl herself.
「Oi, Alfried. Is there another cute pair of slippers around?」
Watching Alicia making a sad-looking expression, Eric asked that of me for some reason.
Are you my boss or what?
She has a calm demeanor and is older than me so I thought that she would be okay with normal stuff, but it looks like Alicia also wants to have similar slippers like ours.
Can’t be helped, so I rummage through the shoe shelf for new slippers. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
It won’t be interesting if I give her the same thing or something similar with just a difference in color. Dragon slippers are exclusive for Nord-tousan. Shall I take out the new slippers I made then?
「Then, there are Wanirou, Kabami, and Chukichi, which one would you like?」
「There are Crocodile, Hippo, and Mouse!」
Right, just as Ra-chan said, the new slippers are modeled after a crocodile, a hippo, and a mouse.
「Just when did you make them !?」
「Ara, they are also cute this time」
Perhaps they know that new animal series of slippers has been completed and that Eleonora-neesan and Elna-kaasan are extremely interested in them.
「It looks like they have a different shape from the other slippers, how do you put them on?」
「Yeah, these are like boots. You can’t put them on or take them off casually like the other slippers, but instead, they have this feeling of them sticking close to your feet and comfort 」
「Ara, it’s true. It feels nice and soft inside despite them looking like boots. Moreover, they look interesting as if I put my feet into the hippo’s mouth」
After I explained the difference, Alicia put on Kabami slippers without hesitation.
That’s right when you look at Kabami from above, it will look like a huge mouth opening, giving a humorous impression when you wear it by putting your foot into that mouth.
I had tried to make this type of different slippers before, but think it’s because the quality of the cotton and cloth is bad that it felt itchy on the skin.
However, thanks to the soft cotton and cloth that feels good to the skin we received from Gregor, the texture of the slippers became comfortable, and I managed to complete the slippers with these shapes.
You can see the maker’s dedication to the completed slippers.
「What about that maid-san in the back?」
「Ehh?」
Since Alicia had put on the Kabami, I also tried to offer the maid waiting on Alicia behind her.
Immediately after, maid-san’s eyes opened wide as though she was surprised.
Not only her, even everyone around us was also surprised.
「Uoooh! ......there was a maid there? I didn’t notice her at all」
「That’s awful. It will hurt their feeling if you say it like that y’know」
I admonish Eric for his too-straightforward remark. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
I guess it’s also because I’ve been told that my presence is faint, not standing out or plain, and suddenly appearing out of nowhere.
Alicia’s maid-san is a woman with long black hair and purple eyes.
She has white skin and a beautiful face, and maybe it’s because her facial features are small that it’s difficult to leave a lasting impression on others. Is this what they call sad facial features?
Perhaps it’s because Alicia is a beautiful girl who tends to leave a long-lasting impression on others that she probably becomes too inconspicuous.
I fully understand this maid-san’s feeling since my presence was usually also buried by the beautiful and handsome features of Eleonora-neesan and Sylvio-niisan.
「Come on, Lim. You also choose」
「Th, then, this mouse-thing that looks easy to move in.......」
She’s probably not used to being the center of attention. Maid-san - who was standing stiff - finally chose Chukichi slippers at Alicia’s prompting.
It’s the only slippers not in the shape of boots.
The only thing to be criticized about the slippers is the well-shaped ears and the tails standing straight at the back. It has a slightly sharper shape than the other slippers. Certainly, from the viewpoint of a maid who moves around a lot doing their tasks, boots-shaped slippers must be a little inconvenient.
I will have to recommend them while keeping the other party’s daily activities in mind.
「Fufufu, to think that there are something like these how interesting」
I wonder if slippers are something strange. Alicia appears to be in an extremely good mood.
From the two young ladies of the Dukes’ houses, a large mansion is probably something natural for them.
So there is no point in using that as a selling point, but using something strange like this to make them welcome might be more delightful for them.
「Well then, everyone from the Sylford’s house is in the dining room, please give them a brief greeting」
「Yes」
「Eric’s tousan and kaasan?」
「Yeah, there’s also my sister」
「Is that so. Looking forward to it!」
Prompted by Elna-kaasan, Alicia replies in a good mood while Ra-chan started walking energetically. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
