I | THE LITTLE SHOP

A storefront lined with seasonal fabrics. A polished sign.

This is the long-established Atelier Deàcoudre, rooted in an old town in the land of Elves.

Some days are for mending frayed cuffs, others for tailoring a garment to mark a life milestone. Humans, beastfolk, merfolk, elves, and dwarves—the customers who visit come in all shapes and sizes.

To someone's wish for "clothes like this," the craftsman's hands give form.

It is a place a bit removed from glamorous adventures or world crises. Still, every day, seeds of stories arrive at this workshop.

...And then one day, a poor assistant and apprentice candidate was sent out by the Fashion Association.

What is the Fashion Association?

A professional organization aimed at the permanent development, survival, and protection of garment technology. They support craftsmen's activities, introduce jobs, and conduct apprentice training. ...However, this time, it seems there was a slight lack of communication with the actual workplace.

✦ AN UNEXPECTED ASSIGNMENT

"Well now, congratulations! ...is what I'd like to say wholeheartedly, but..."

The one who said that and handed over a document was the fairy, Yurf.

An officer of the Fashion Association and your supervisor. He is a personable, cheerful, and somewhat pushy individual.

This training placement was decided by the Association's top brass.

However, Yurf's demeanor was a bit different than usual.

"Of course, I negotiated many times. I asked how they could proceed while ignoring the person's own intentions. Oh, many times!"

Apparently, he had been running around asking the higher-ups to reconsider the decision.

Still, the story didn't change, and he finally ended up handing the letter of introduction to you.

✉ Letter of Introduction to the Tailoring Workshop

Yes.

The crucial owner had refused many times.

His skill is guaranteed. His sincerity toward work is also vouched for by Yurf.

However, there is no guarantee that he will welcome you. ...It is a very precarious start.
