Tensei Shite Inaka de Slowlife wo Okuritai - Chapter 559

Fitting

"Now, let's measure the height of your necks and heads and do a fitting while you actually lie down."

　Once the materials were selected, Name pulled out a large silver tool.

"There are a lot of needle-like things on it!"

"It's a tool for measuring the height of the neck and head."

　It looks scary with a lot of sticks sticking out of it, but it appears to be a measuring device.

"Please stand in a relaxed position. We will place the measuring device on you from behind."

　I turned my back to Name and the measuring device was pressed against the center of my back and the back of my head.

　There was a clicking sound, like something sinking.

"Yes, the measurement is complete. This is Alfried's sleeping position."

　When I turned around, the silver rod attached to the measuring device formed an arch.

"So this is my attitude?"

"Yes! If you create a pillow that fills this arch, there will be no strain on your neck or head!"

　It's a very useful tool that can instantly shape your posture.

"Well then, Lana-sama, please excuse me."

　In the same way, I press other measuring devices against Ra-chan's back and the back of her head.

　Then, the silver rod arched and concave, tracing Ra-chan's posture.

"Finished already?"

"Yes, measurement complete."

　The measurement is completed by pressing the measuring device once.

　I was prepared to be judged by the ruler many times, so I'm grateful for this time-saving technique.

"Next will be the fitting. First, please lie on your back, Alfried."

　At Name's orders, I lie on my back on the bed again.

"Huh? But if I use a Sleeping Sheep pillow, won't I fall asleep again...?"

"Don't worry. The trial pillows have been stripped of pheromones."

"I see"

　If you fall asleep too many times, you won't be able to get a good fitting.

"Can you lift your head a bit?"

"yes"

　I raised my head and Name tucked some sheets under my pillow.

"With Alfried's posture, how about this height?"

"Ah, that feels good!"

　When I finished putting it in and put my head down, I felt the pillow fit perfectly.

　This is the first time I've ever had a pillow that fits my head and neck so well.

　If you close your eyes and breathe through your nose, the air will flow in smoothly and without any discomfort.

　As an experiment, the name will show you by removing or adding a sheet.

"I tried adjusting the height. What do you think?"

"The first number is the best."

"Understood. Next, I will adjust your position so please lie on your side."

　Apparently this pillow can be adjusted laterally as well.

　Reposition your head so that it is on the edge of a pillow and lie on your side.

　It doesn't look right when there are no sheets in it, but when I add the right number of sheets with the name on them, it fits perfectly in landscape orientation.

"How do you like it? With this one, it's aligned in a straight line with your spine, so it should put minimal strain on your neck, but we can adjust it if you feel any discomfort."

　I try turning over in bed, but I don't feel any discomfort at all.

　The difference in elevation from the center isn't a problem, and it's easy to breathe when lying on your side.

"Perfect!"

"thank you"

　Once the fitting of my pillow was finished, Ra-chan lay on her back and adjusted the height of the pillow.

"What do you think?"

"Wow! This feels right!"

　Since she is still young, her opinions are a little vague, so it took a while to adjust, but it seems we found a height that was just right for Ra-chan. We adjusted it in the same way for landscape orientation.

"Now, please begin making the pillow at this height."

　They show us a document listing the measured values, but even knowing the specific numbers, it's still hard to understand.

　Anyway, I understand that those numbers fit our attitude perfectly, so I nod.

　By the way, the price is higher than the magic stone lamp I bought.

　But I didn't want to compromise on my sleep, so I accepted the price.

"No problem. Thank you."

"Delivery is scheduled for one week later. We can send it to you free of charge. How about that?"

"Send it to my mansion."

"I got it"

　When I was wondering whether to pick it up at the store, Ra-chan simply said,

　As expected of a young lady, she is used to delivery services.

"You can't go home until you get the pillow, okay?"

　Ra-chan said this while looking up and tugging at her sleeve.

　It's so cute that it arouses my maternal instincts.

"Don't worry, I won't be coming back anytime soon."

"Yay!"

　Either way, thinking about the amusement park, it doesn't look like I'll be able to go home anytime soon.

　I'm sure Nord-tousan is considering staying for at least a week.

"Ah, Name-san. There's something I'm wondering about. Can I ask it?"

"what do you want?"

"...Is it possible to strengthen the pheromones of this sleeping sheep?"

　Name said that the pillow used during the fitting earlier had been devoid of pheromones.

　In other words, it is possible to adjust the pheromones. If there are ones that have been removed, it should be possible to create stronger ones.

"No. If you make the pheromones too strong, it can induce unwanted sleep in people."

"I want something stronger because I want to give sleep to people who don't want it."

　When I told him bluntly, Name looked shocked.

　But this is a matter of life and death.

　If I had a pillow with enhanced pheromones, I could put Eleonora-neesan to sleep when she invites me to practice, or put Nord-tousan to sleep when he brings me troublesome business, and repel him.

　Combined with the Big Slime cushion it's perfect.

"I'm sorry. It affects our reputation."

"That's right."

　If something were to happen using one of this store's pillows, it would affect their credibility.

　I guess that's a bit of a stretch.

"I'm just talking to myself, but I think it would be okay to get some sleep sheep wool and adjust your pheromones yourself."

　As I was feeling disheartened, Name muttered in a small voice.

　I see! That's a good idea!

"Then, I'd like one more pillow, please."

　With this ray of hope in hand, I decided to order an additional Sleeping Sheep pillow.

　It seems that sleeping sheep's wool is difficult to obtain, but we'll have Tory get it for us somehow.
