Chapter 55 - Chapter 55: New look! Wearing new clothes designed by Qianzhi

After Kirara, she continued to observe herself in the large mirror, turning left and right. The more she looked, the more she liked the clothes, and they were much more comfortable than her previous outfit.

Chiori watched Kirara from the side, nodded in satisfaction, then turned to speak to Alex: "It's good that you came to my shop today; I won't have to go looking for you tomorrow."

After two days of preparation, plus the Fabric Kirara delivered, the materials for making the clothes were basically complete.

Chiori's next sentence was to ask her client, Alex, for his thoughts: "Hmm, regarding the outfit, do you have any specific requirements?… For example, do you want it to be more formal, or more casual?"

Actually, Alex didn't have many demands for clothes, but after seeing that Kirara's outfit was made by her, he had some ideas.

"First, I am a Summoner! The style of the clothes should best emphasize this point. That is, a mage's robe." Alex said, activating a Combat Skill in front of Chiori, even designating a small Neuvillette to become a small Chiori, and making the small Chiori's expression at this moment (>_<).

On the side, Kirara, seeing Alex's Combat Skill for the first time, looked at the small Chiori it transformed into and exclaimed in surprise: "Wow! Isn't that Sister Chiori!!! So cute!"

Chiori also saw Alex's skill for the first time. When she saw the small figure in front of her transform into her own likeness, she was surprised, but this tiny version of herself was indeed cute! Chiori was starting to like it too.

As the client, Alex began to state his detailed requirements: "But I don't like wearing anything too bulky. A bit cooler, I'm afraid of heat, but not too cold. The clothes should still be a short-sleeved robe. I can wear gloves; I usually ride a motorcycle, and gloves can protect my hands from calluses. But they should preferably be fingerless gloves."

"The design on the clothes should ideally have more gold trim, to highlight the noble status of a Summoner. As for the body, I don't need protection. Shoulder pads, knee pads, and the like are not necessary."

"Oh, and when you make the clothes, can you also change my shoes? I like athletic shoes that are convenient for movement, prioritizing lightness, softness, and comfort."

Chiori rubbed her forehead. Good heavens, this was the first time she had encountered a customer with so many demands. "Alright, I think I understand your requirements!"

Then Chiori sat down on a nearby chair, raising her right leg to rest on her left.

Chiori looked at the colorful brocade in front of her, rapidly conceiving designs in her mind.

The next moment, Chiori took out a Primogem from her sleeve, placed it on the table, and spun it. He also liked such a Shitou. How could she combine all this information into one outfit?

"Ah! My Primogem, give it back!" Alex saw a Primogem in Chiori's hand and instantly became alert. He quickly snatched it back.

Good, the Primogem is finally back with me, a round number, comfortable.

Chiori didn't mind. After a while, she crossed her legs, changing to another posture. Soon after, she suddenly stood up.

"Now, it's your turn to come with me to the fitting room." Chiori said, grabbing Alex's arm and walking into the secret room.

"Hehe." Kirara walked over and sat on a chair nearby. Her last delivery was now complete.

She wasn't in a hurry to leave; she'd wait for Sister Chiori to finish, then stay a bit longer to chat with her, and also thank Sister Chiori again for making her new clothes ~ she was very satisfied.

"Take off your clothes." Chiori said, stepping out of the room. When she re-entered, she was carrying many Fabrics and saw Alex still standing there, unmoving: "Hm? Why haven't you taken them off yet?"

"This, isn't it inappropriate? There are people outside." Alex said, embarrassed.

Chiori gave him a roll of her eyes: "I'm just asking you to take off your outer clothing, to make it easier to take your measurements again. I'm not asking you to take everything off."

It wasn't until Alex was wearing only a white shirt, white shorts, and standing barefoot on the ground that Chiori nodded in satisfaction. Then she took out a tape measure and began to measure Alex's body.

"Wow~" Alex softly exclaimed. This was great, a treat for him. He was hugged by Chiori several times… though only the tape measure was tightly constricting him; Chiori herself hadn't touched him.

Then Chiori directly picked up the Fabric, which transitioned from sky blue to deep blue, not far away, and began cutting with the tailor's shears, snip, snip.

She then picked up a needle and thread, swiftly moving back and forth, stitching the Fabric.

Before long, a fluffy, Primogem-shaped small ornament appeared before Alex's eyes.

"Wow! It's a blue Primogem!!" Alex immediately picked up this handmade Primogem, indicating he liked it very much.

Then Chiori picked up the Vision that was on the clothes and, according to its style, added yellow tassels below it. Above the Vision, she sewed on the blue sea beads and thin yellow hemp rope she had picked up in Fontaine earlier, connecting them.

This way, the Vision could be hung directly on any part of the clothes, unlike before when Alex could only pin his Vision to the chest of his outer garment.

Then came the making of various small parts. Finally, Chiori stitched them all together.

"It's done, try it on!" Chiori narrowed her eyes and handed the clothes to Alex.

Under Chiori's gaze, Alex began to put on his new clothes. With Chiori occasionally lending a hand to help him dress, Alex finally put on the outfit Chiori had made.

At this moment, Alex, dressed in his new clothes, had transformed dramatically.

Inside, he wore a light white sleeveless shirt. The bottom of the shirt, on the left side, slanted down and connected directly to the pant leg. The right side, however, wrapped around the edge below the chest.

That is to say, a small part of his belly and waist were exposed on his right side. With the navel as the boundary, the shirt just covered the navel, preventing it from being exposed and appearing awkward.

Perhaps Chiori's design also feared the "Vision Hunt Decree."

The lower body consisted of grey-white capri pants, with the upper and lower parts sewn together.

The upper half above the knees was normal trousers, while the lower half was changed. On both the left and right sides of the legs, a blue Primogem decorative buckle connected the triangular Fabric cut from the remaining material. The bottom of the pant legs outlined a swallowtail shape.

As for the shoes, Chiori modified the long boots Alex had worn before, turning them into soft and comfortable short boots. She added a layer of hard material to the edge and designed them, finally creating small V-shaped short boots.

Chiori placed the Vision on his lower right waist. The blue Primogem-shaped small ornament made at the beginning was positioned directly in front of the waistband, like a belt buckle. But in fact, the pants had an elastic band attached to his belly.

The outer jacket was made according to Alex's requirements: a deep blue, knee-length, short-sleeved swallowtail robe.

Golden patterns outlined the edges and corners of the robe. The robe did not hang straight down behind him. Instead, it was stitched together at the waist, creating a very natural wavy Fabric texture, with a strong sense of artistic design.

Near the left leg at the bottom of the robe, the designer whimsically cut a twenty-plus centimeter long inverted V-shaped slit, which not only broke the sense of symmetry but also caused the robe to split outwards and float on both sides.

This way, the robe would flutter back and forth like a tail with the movement of the body, a typical swallowtail design.

Several layers of Fabric were sewn at the short sleeves, with the color deepening from outside to inside, finally ending with black Fabric.

Chiori's technique for sewing these Fabrics made the short sleeves naturally puff outwards, not clinging tightly to the arms.

Then came two black fingerless gloves, with small blue eight-sided four-pointed stars, resembling Primogems, fitted at the four knuckle joints.

Several circles of deep blue Fabric wristbands connected to the top of the gloves, extending halfway up the forearm.

Finally, Alex looked at himself in the mirror and casually offered a small suggestion: "How about a classic Mi-style leg ring on my right thigh?"

He was already in Teyvat, and as a character from a Mihoyo world, shouldn't he have a classic Mi-style leg ring?

Haha, Alex joked, not expecting Chiori to listen seriously.

"Oh?" Chiori's eyes lit up, thinking Alex's suggestion was excellent!

Then Chiori nodded, and soon a three-centimeter-wide blue-grey leg ring Fabric was tied around the middle of Alex's right thigh.

Alright, this look was also acceptable, Alex silently looked at himself in the mirror again.

"Good! Perfect!" Then Alex clapped his hands happily, ready to leave.

The next moment, one of Chiori's hands grabbed Alex's messy black hair, which had grown to his shoulders: "Where are you running off to? It's not over yet!"

"Ow!" Alex cried out in pain, held firmly in Chiori's grasp.
