Chapter 350
Still, I was really lucky my sisters were smart.
Usually, in these kinds of situations, the cliché is that people from another world don’t listen properly to the one originally from this world, which leads to all kinds of accidents. But at least Alice and Claire weren’t like that.
I couldn’t just have them use public transportation like the subway or buses right from the start. Of course, I’d be riding with them if they did, but public transit during weekday mornings is crowded. If we got on and then the doors closed before everyone could board, it would be a disaster.
I couldn’t keep them in the clothes I used to wear either. And besides, since I had been male, my clothes were too big for all three of us. Alice and Claire seemed aware of that too, and though they thankfully didn’t ask me directly about it, the point remained—we needed new clothes.
And just in case, I also had to teach them the basic layout of the area around where I lived. If they went out and got lost, we’d be in trouble.
...There were plenty of other things we’d need to take care of later, but for now, the priority was getting them some clothes.
Alice and Claire were both from noble families. To be specific, Alice was of royal blood and Claire was from a baron’s house, so technically, they were in different categories, and the gap between them was considerable. But they’d both grown up in a world where surviving required a minimum level of awareness.
They didn’t say anything unnecessary, just like I advised. Claire, of course, and even Alice, though her eyes were full of curiosity as she looked around the world, restrained herself. She didn’t blurt out weird questions in public that might make others suspicious.
...Though once we got back home, they both unloaded all the questions they’d held back.
“Why are these pants so short? If you wear a long top, the pants don’t even show—it looks like you’re not wearing any! Do people here all walk around like that?”
“Not all of them, but yeah, there are definitely people who dress that way on purpose. I don’t really know why. I guess that’s just what looks good to them.”
And well... I also think it looks good.
