"So, I'm going to make uniforms."

"...... What do you mean, Mr. Alphonse?　What are you talking about, uniforms?"

"No, I just told you. Lord Banagher has given the Barka mercenaries a job. It's about guarding a village belonging to the Orient and sending out messages.

"I've heard that, but how does that lead to uniforms?"

　After talking with Laura in the Orient, I had returned to New Barca Street.

　I explained to Kristina, who was there, about the job offer I had received from Banagher.

　I then suggested that we make uniforms.

　However, Kristina did not see any connection between the two, and looked at me as if to say, "What are you talking about?

"Look, there are all kinds of guys in the Barka Mercenaries, aren't there? There's me, Elvis, Ian, there's guys from Valiant, and there's guys from this little group of nations. We are a group of people from different origins, so to speak.

"Well, yes. Some of them are merchants like me.

"That's why we make uniforms, to bring all these different people together. I think this will create a sense of unity and make it easier for other people to know at a glance who is a member of the Barka Mercenaries.

"I see. So it would be for identification?　That could certainly be interesting."

"Right?　In fact, I heard that Brother Ars also provided clothes for those who belong to the military, so I think it's a good idea."

"Okay. Well then, let's talk to Mr. Galius and ask him to think about what kind of clothes would suit the Barka Mercenaries."

　When I explained to Kristina the purpose of making the uniforms, she immediately agreed with me.

　In fact, I think it makes good sense.

　When I heard about Banagher's request, my first thought was about the number of people I could send.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The number of mercenaries in the Barka Mercenaries is not that large now.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Moreover, they are still in the process of training, and some of them are given jobs such as making magic tools, so not all of them can be dispatched to villages.

　Therefore, even if mercenaries are dispatched to several villages, it is probably only a small number for one village.

　Or, perhaps only five or ten mercenaries could be sent to each village.

　Mercenaries who work in very small numbers away from the headquarters of the mercenary company.

　I wondered if they would be able to do their job responsibly.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Maybe some of them might cause problems at the place where they go to protect the village with their weapons.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　To avoid this, I thought of making a uniform to remind them that I am a member of the Barka Mercenaries and that I am in a responsible position.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It would be good if I could make them feel a sense of responsibility just while they are wearing the uniform.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Besides, I thought it would be better for the villagers to know at a glance who belongs to the Barka Mercenaries.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I explained this in detail to Kristina, and together with Galius, we decided to make uniforms that would be easily recognizable.

　I heard that Ars and his brother had made a trench coat as a military uniform for the Balkan army.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, this kind of clothing was made only for the cold climate of Vulcania and the United Kingdom of Fontana.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Compared to those countries, this small group of countries in the Orient is much warmer in summer.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Or rather, it is hot and humid.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If they wear trench coats as uniforms, it would be too hot and no one would wear them anymore.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　So, it was decided that the uniforms to be used by the Barka Mercenaries should be more appropriate for the area.

　However, the first aim is to have some distinctive features that can be recognized at a glance.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　For this purpose, Galius suggested the use of colors.

"I see. By using a specific color for the uniform, we can show that we belong to the Barka Mercenaries.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"That is the way it is, that it is. As for the color, how about using a bright red color, taken from the fresh blood that is the color of the armor of Mister Alphonse and Mister Norn?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Good idea. That way, even if Norn walks around in armor, people will recognize him as a member of the Barka Mercenaries. But is there a dye that can produce such a beautiful red color?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I think we can use just about any flower found in this area, that we can find. They are famous for blooming at the time of sending the dead to Hades, that they can be used as a dye that gives a beautiful red color, that they can.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Okay, let's use that. Just be sure to dye it well so that the dye doesn't come off when you [wash] it."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Of course, that I do. Then, we will make the red uniform for the Barka Mercenaries, that we will.

　Adopting the opinion of Garius, it was decided to make a uniform of brightly dyed red clothes that would keep the wearer cool even in summer.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　They immediately set to work on such clothes, and the mercenaries were lined up to wear the completed uniforms.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Yeah, that's good, isn't it?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The uniform, which could be worn over other clothes to make it relatively quick, was called a thin haori.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The haori was dyed red and had a red pattern on the back.

　Could this be a holy mark engraved on Ai's body?

　The sight of all the members neatly arranged in uniform clothing looked quite strong and cool.
