67 – Acquiring Formal Attire

When the unusually heavy snowfall finally subsided, I returned to my parents’ house and celebrated my 20th birthday with them and Milim. As a gift, they presented me with a formal suit.

It was a custom-made suit.

In this world, there are ready-made clothes called “hanging” garments and one-of-a-kind pieces that are meticulously tailored based on measurements.

Considering the difference in effort required, it’s clear which one is more high-end—custom-made suits are expensive. Although they are not as significantly different from ready-made ones as they used to be, the price is still at least double.

Many people wear suits for their university entrance ceremony, and some choose to have a slightly better one tailored for that occasion. However, in the educational institutions I attended from nursery school to university, it was customary to wear the “uniform I had been wearing until the previous year” for the entrance ceremony.

In other words, it was my first experience of having “my own suit,” and as I finished the measurements and waited for its completion, I vaguely imagined myself wearing the suit.

I couldn’t even imagine it.

The design of the uniform wasn’t so different from a suit. Wearing a shirt, a jacket, and slacks. And of course, a tie.

And yet, even though I had been wearing the uniform all this time, I couldn’t quite picture myself wearing a suit, which should have had a similar design.

In the face of this hopeless anxiety or impatience, the option that came to my mind was to “contact Anna.”

What would I do by contacting her? Isn’t she busy? Besides, do I even have the time to talk to her…?

There were so many things I didn’t know. Normally, it would have been an unthinkable choice.

Because my goal in life is to avoid making enemies. I’m extremely afraid of doing something that would make someone think “that’s rude”…

And yet, despite all that, I ended up sending Anna a nonsensical, purposeless question, probably because my immature heart was still being influenced by my current physical state—no, let’s not make excuses. Even if I were to be reborn a million times, my heart would still remain immature, that’s probably why.

What does it mean to become an adult?

The question I sent was something incomprehensible like that. It broke my own secret rule of not asking questions that I couldn’t anticipate the answer to.

I must have caused trouble, and maybe I would be ignored… My fear grew by the second after sending the question. After a few minutes, just as I was about to decide to send a message saying “Sorry, please forget it,”

“I don’t know either, even when you become an adult.”

That message came back.

It seemed like a dismissive message, but strangely, I felt a sense of relief and understanding, as if to say “Ah, I see.”

It was a simple and straightforward message. Maybe Anna knew how I would take it. There were no additional explanations. Just that alone, she didn’t even urge me to reply.

My suit will be completed soon, and I will become a third-year student.

The day of entering society is getting closer and closer, and suddenly, I felt like my future had been decided.
