Bastea Company’s Capital branch .
“Whoa…”
The moment I entered Bastea Company, I was fascinated by the complete change of European atmosphere to the oriental harmony of sun and sea .
“It’s truly wonderful . I have not been paying it attention before, but it has a peculiar beauty to it, doesn’t it?”
Mariel-chan was also captivated by the beauty of Yahatul that resembled our past lives .
“… But, it really is treated as work of art, isn’t it?”
When I looked at the corner display, there was a rice bowl with a flower vase next to it, a soup bowl with accessories in it…
There were Kimono too, but they were plastered on the walls instead of tapestry, and the Obi was used as a centre piece of a table…
Well, in other words, it’s treated as j.a.panese items would in a foreign country .
The display is wonderful, so I don’t have anything to say though…
“Hmm, this is the price of imported goods after all . There probably aren’t many people who use foreign goods in their daily lives like you do, Cristesan . ”
“… That may be true . ”
When I ordered tableware in the fief before, I was asked “What are you going to do with such large number of tableware?” and when I honestly answered that I will put them to their original use, “Wha…! I, isn’t that waste?” I was asked in shock .
No, this is tableware, right…? Is what I wanted to say that time, but it does not match well with Doristan country’s food, so that reaction might have been the correct one .
“Even I wouldn’t be able to use this every single day . But, I do use chopsticks sometimes . I find eating with spoon or fork quite dull . ”
“Indeed . It would be nice if they had disposable chopsticks here too . ”
If using simply, chopsticks cut from twigs might be enough . But, chopsticks made by proper craftsmen are needed for more elaborate use .
“Riiight… ugh, buying with my personal expenses will be tough, but I have to buy . Will you choose a pair of cute ones with me?”
“Sure . Chopsticks are… ah, over there it seems . ”
We moved to a different corner, and Mariel-chan decided to choose from among chopsticks that felt familiar in her hands .
There were many chopsticks . Not only painted ones, but the wooden ones were polished up . They also came in men – women – children sizes .
Our hands are still small, so using adult chopsticks would be difficult, therefore Mariel-chan chose a few pairs that were comfortable to use for her .
I have heard in the past that the ideal length of chopsticks is 1 . 5 times the lenght of thumb + index finger . Therefore, I had Mariel-chan spread her fingers and we looked for a fitting lenght .
Unfortunately, there weren’t many children-sized chopsticks, so Mariel-chan decided on chopsticks with a scarlet painting .
“Thank you very much, Cristesan! If it were me, I would opt to buy an adult-sized one . ”
“You are welcome . If it’s temporary then using adult-sized ones doesn’t matter that much, but your hand would be under a lot of stress if you have used them daily . ”
“Truly, the adult-sized ones were definitely a little too long and tough to use . It was only a little, but it felt somewhat wrong . ”
We might be used to using long chopsticks from our past lives, but it’s better to use those which fit our hands .
“Now then, shall we look at the ingredients next?”
I discovered an ingredient corner from the tableware corner, so just when I decided to move there, I heard a voice from behind .
“Young Misses, are you interested in Yahatul goods?”
Eh? A woman’s voice?
When I turned around, there was a beauty with flame-like scarlet hair… wha, Suzaku-sama!?
