This is the story that happened when Ogata and the others were still staying in Nishikino Town in the Ou region to celebrate the New Year.

…

…

Kinkino Town, the hotel where Ogata and the others stayed

"So what are you going to do with these old clothes?" Ogata asked.

"I'm thinking about it too..." Atachi sighed softly.

On the tatami in front of Ogata and Atachi, there were three neatly folded kimonos.

These are Atachi's old clothes.

Perhaps because during this recent period, his body has been fully stimulated almost every day, the 19-year-old A-machi has actually experienced physical growth again.

The height has not changed, but there is more flesh in some places.

It's winter now, and a lot of clothes have to be stuffed under the kimono. After the fat in certain parts of the body increases, the kimono becomes a little "overwhelmed."

A few days ago, Ogata clearly felt that it had become much more difficult for Atachi to get dressed.

Every time he puts on clothes, Atachi has to take a deep breath, not to contract his abdomen, but to contract his chest.

While struggling to contract his chest, he struggled to stuff himself into the kimono.

Atachi was tired of having to put on clothes so hard every day, so she made an appointment with Ogata to buy some new clothes together during the New Year when there was nothing to do.

The purchase of new clothes went very smoothly. Ogata and the others were not short of money now and quickly bought high-quality new clothes.

But after that, a new little problem arose: What to do with these old clothes?

At this moment, Ogata and the others were thinking about this issue.

"How about pawning it off?" Ogata suggested.

"These rags of mine are not expensive, and they are worn out by me. If you take them to a pawn shop to pawn them, most people won't want them," A-Machi said, rubbing them gently.

Squeezing his right shoulder.

Ogata glanced at Atachi's hand that was squeezing his shoulder: "What's wrong? Is your shoulder uncomfortable?"

"It can be considered uncomfortable... This is also a long-standing problem of mine..." A-Machi's cheeks turned slightly red due to embarrassment, "My shoulders have often been sore since I was 15 years old."

"I'm used to it. But recently, my shoulders have become sore more easily than before..."

Ogata no longer listened carefully to what Atachi was talking about in the second half of his sentence.

His whole body and mind were focused on the number "15 years old" that Atachi had just mentioned.

Ogata glanced at Omachi's bear subconsciously.

"What an incredible qualification." Ogata whispered at a volume that only he could hear clearly.

"Huh? What were you just talking about?"

"I just said that it's not easy for girls." Ogata lied without blushing or panting.

"Yeah..." A-Machi let out a long breath, "What's even worse is that I can only endure the soreness in my shoulders, and there is no way to relieve the pain..."

Having said this, A-Machi let out another long sigh.

Ogata couldn't bear to see the melancholy look on A-Machi's face.

Is there any way to help Atachi?

As soon as this idea popped out of Ogata's mind, he suddenly felt a flash of lightning flash across his mind and he suddenly remembered it.

"Yes..." Ogata muttered in a low voice.

He remembered that in his previous life, there was a kind of clothing that might be able to alleviate the "symptoms" of Atachi.

"Omachi." Ogata said seriously, "Can you give me these three pieces of old clothes of yours?"

"...What are you going to do?" A-Machi cast a strange look at Ogata.

"Don't look at me like that! I won't do anything weird to your clothes! I just want to use your old clothes to make a new one."

"New clothes? Can you still make clothes?"

"I don't know how to make clothes. But the new clothes I want to make have a very simple structure, and a layman like me should be able to make them."

"What new clothes are you going to make?"

"Let me keep this a secret. I'll tell you when it's done."

"I don't want these old clothes anyway. If you want to use them to make new clothes, then use them. But don't do weird things with my clothes... I still stayed in Edo before.

At that time, I heard that there was a man in Edo who loved to steal other women’s clothes and wear them..."

Before Omachi could finish what he said, Oubon immediately interrupted him:

"I wouldn't do such a thing!"

…

…

Next day, early morning

"Uh-huh..." O-Machi, who had not been naked since last night because he had to do something, stretched and slowly sat up from the bed.

Before I could put on my clothes, I heard Ogata's slightly excited voice coming from beside me:

"A-Machi! You woke up just in time! Come try on these clothes!"

"Huh?" Atachi looked at Ogata with a confused look.

Ogata, who had gotten up at some unknown time, was holding a piece of pink...cloth with both hands.

Amachi recognized at a glance that the "cloth" in Ogata's hand was cut from the pink kimono that she no longer wore.

The kimono A-machi wears has always been plain in color. The three old clothes she no longer wears are pink, goose yellow and light green in color.

"Is this piece of cloth the new clothes you told me about yesterday?" Ating's eyes widened.

"That's right. But don't underestimate this dress." Ogata said seriously, "This dress may be able to relieve the 'symptom' of your always sore shoulders."

If there are any modern people present, the piece of "cloth" in Ogata's hand must be quite familiar.

This piece of "cloth" is exactly what modern women must wear when going out.

Last night, after O-Machi was so tired that he went to bed early due to some things, Ogata got up secretly and started to use some of O-Machi's old clothes to tailor new clothes based on the memories of his previous life in his mind.

Ogata originally thought that the fabric of this kind of clothes was so rare that it must be easy to cut, but after actually picking up the scissors, Ogata discovered that this was not the case at all.

At that moment, Ogata truly felt that tailoring was also an extremely difficult profession...

Fortunately, after working until dawn, Ogata finally successfully cut the new dress when Amachi had already gotten up.

"This piece of 'cloth' is clothes? And it can also prevent my shoulders from getting sore easily?" Amachi glanced at the clothes in Ogata's hands with suspicious eyes, "How are I going to wear this?"

Ogata explained to Omachi how to put on the clothes in a concise and concise manner.

After Ogata finished speaking, Omachi's face turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye.

This way of wearing clothes is simply too unimaginable for a woman like Omachi, who was born and raised in the Edo period.

After looking at Ogata several times with strange eyes, she said quietly: "Did you design this kind of clothes yourself? Or did someone else tell you?"

"This is a piece of clothing I heard from a certain ronin when I left the feudal domain and wandered around." Ogata said without thinking, "The ronin was an orchidist. He said that this kind of clothing is very common in southern barbarian countries.

It is a kind of clothing that has considerable benefits for women’s parts after being worn.”

Ogata used his usual excuse "This is what I heard when I was wandering around before."

This excuse is so easy to use that it can be used almost universally. It can be applied to any situation where "some fantastic idea suddenly comes up". Others will have nowhere to prove it if they want to falsify it.

Out of trust in Ogata, after hearing Ogata's excuse, the suspicion in Atachi's eyes dissipated a little.

After looking at Ogata and the piece of "cloth" in his hand several times, Atachi shook his head vigorously: "No, I won't wear it. I feel that wearing this kind of clothes will be uncomfortable."

The strangeness and unknown feeling towards this kind of clothing made A-Machi instinctively refuse to wear it.

"Try it," Ogata advised, "Maybe you won't feel uncomfortable. It just so happens that you're not wearing any clothes right now."

Ogata tried hard to persuade A-Machi that he had stayed up nearly half the night in order to cut the clothes. Just to show his appreciation for the hard work and not let the hard work go to waste, Ogata had enough motivation to persuade A-Machi.

Wear this clothes.

Finally, after Ogata's hard persuasion, A-Machi relented.

"I know..." Ating sighed and nodded, "Then I'll try it on..."

She took the clothes from Ogata's hands, and then put on the clothes under Ogata's guidance with a slightly clumsy technique.

There is a heater in Ogata's room, so there's no need to worry about Omachi, who is not wearing any clothes, getting cold.

Because Ogata's ability is limited, he is not a professional tailor, and the tools and materials he can use are only scissors and a few old clothes from Omachi that he no longer wears, so naturally he cannot reproduce the modern style.

A version with hooks to hang the straps.

The one Ogata has on hand relies entirely on tying a bow to tie the straps together.
