Fontaine, an old residential area.

The buildings here took a long time to build.

The already ordinary decoration style, after years of ravages, makes this place look even more dilapidated.

Of course, this residential area is not completely without its merits.

The low rent and good geographical location make this place a temporary stopover for many young people on their journey to pursue their dreams.

In a single room of a residential building.

Usher was bending over, working on the seams of the clothes in his hands.

However, in Usher's heart, he had his own ideas about fashion.

Usher wanted to make clothes that were different, unconventional, and would amaze everyone.

but...

At least for now.

Fontaine's customers were not yet convinced by Usher's design and aesthetics.

After all, the one who controls the discourse power in the Fontaine fashion world now is Mei Qini, the owner of Baitang Curio House.

No one would question Mechini's position in the Fontaine fashion industry.

It can be said that it was she who defined what Fontaine fashion is.

Unfortunately, Ms. Mechini's approach to clothing design is "conservative," or, in other words, "Renaissance."

“Inspiration comes from forgotten old things, because only those forgotten things are new.”

These are what Meqini said.

Therefore, the current fashion industry in Fontaine is extremely barren for those clothing designers who want to break through tradition.

In order to survive, Usher could only take odd jobs in a tailor shop.

By imitating Mechina's style and relying on his own decent skills, he managed to make a living.

But despite this, Usher did not give up his dream.

After all, I am still young and my career has just started.

Besides, you are not alone on this path.

A few days ago, a seamstress from Inazuma stayed nearby. After a chance encounter in a fabric store, the two began to communicate.

Her ideas are similar to his own, and she is even more extreme than him in breaking with tradition.

As two people with similar ideas, the negotiations were naturally quite pleasant.

Usher was amazed at Qianzhi's imaginative creativity and her carefree attitude towards the "rules of clothing making".

And Qianzhi was also amazed at Ushen's diverse sewing skills and his ultimate mastery of various fabrics.

The two left each other their contact addresses and agreed to try to cooperate a few times in the future.

...

Usher controlled the thread in his hand, moving it through the fabric.

This wiring method is his original creation.

Some adjustments have been made to the mainstream routing of Fontaine.

This results in fewer exposed seams on the final garment without compromising the garment’s durability.

Just as Usher's needle and thread were about to pass through the clothes and complete the last step.

His door was suddenly pushed open.

Usher's hand trembled, and the sewing needle deviated a little, almost piercing his hand.

"Chi..Chiori?"

Qianzhi, who walked into the house, saw the work in Usher's hands and quickly apologized to Usher.

"It's okay, Ms. Chiori. I was just scared, I'm not hurt."

"As for these clothes, the users at this price point can't tell the mistakes in the final stitching anyway."

As he spoke, Usher brought out a stool from the house, handed it to Qianzhi, and asked Qianzhi to sit down.

The rental house was not big to begin with, and there were a lot of clothes piled up in it. After two people sat down, it seemed even more cramped.

But fortunately, both of them are young people pursuing their dreams and do not care about these details.

"Ms. Qianzhi, what happened? Why are you rushing over here in such a hurry?"

Usher asked doubtfully, this was not like the calmness that Qianzhi had shown in the past two days.

"I'm sorry, Usher, I don't have time to chat with you."

"I received a large order and needed some high-quality fabrics, but I had just arrived in Fontaine and had no way to purchase them."

"I went to several nearby stores, but the fabrics they sold did not meet my requirements."

"It suddenly occurred to me that you have done a lot of research on fabrics. So I came all the way here to ask you about stores that provide high-end fabrics."

"So that's it."

Usher nodded, understanding the reason.

He first congratulated Qianzhi on getting the big job. As a fellow tailor, or a future fashion designer, Usher understood Qianzhi's feelings at the moment.

So Usher pulled out a piece of white paper from the side and wrote down a store address on it.

"Qianzhi, if you need to buy high-end fabrics in Fontaine, it is enough to go to this textile workshop."

"This workshop mainly supplies goods to the Baitang House of Curiosities. It can be said that, apart from fabrics from foreign countries, theirs are the best in the Fontaine market."

Chihiro's eyes lit up, "Thank you, Usher. You've been a great help."

"When I finish making this dress, I'll treat you to a nice dinner."

Seeing Qianzhi in a hurry and about to leave, Usher hesitated for a moment, but still called Qianzhi and said.

"Chizhi, I can understand how you feel right now. I've felt that too."

"This is your first time receiving a large custom order. I can understand how happy you are to be recognized."

"But don't be like me. Just to give customers a good impression of value for money, you have to spend money on it!"

"Just use similar fabrics. There's no need to use the most expensive ones."

"Ok?"

There was a hint of doubt in Qianzhi's expression.

"Usher, have you ever paid for the cloth to make a custom garment for a customer?"

Usher: ...

"Yes, it is."

"That's unwise."

Qianzhi did not hypocritically hide her thoughts, but expressed them frankly.

"Usher, thank you for your help and kind advice."

"But please don't worry. My employer this time is quite generous and paid me one million Mora in advance, which should be enough to support my purchase of fabrics."

"How many?"

Usher stood up from his chair in shock and stared at Qianzhi's face and asked.

His pupils were filled with incomprehension and disbelief.

"An advance of one million molas."

As Qianzhi spoke, she took out the check given by Chao Ke from her arms and handed it to Usher for inspection.

Usher took the check from Qianzhi's hand, first confirmed the authenticity of the check, and then counted the Mora value written on it over and over again.

"How... is it possible..."

Usher found it hard to understand, this was a high-end price.

Moreover, from Qianzhi's tone, this was just an advance payment, and the final transaction amount might be more than that.

Then I thought about the largest order I had ever taken, which was only 85,000 Mora.

At that time, I was so excited that I wanted to make a name for myself and to thank my employer for his recognition. Not only did I not make a single cent of profit, but I even spent thousands of Mora on purchasing fabrics.

For a moment, Usher felt a mixture of emotions and powerlessness, not knowing what to say.

Objectively speaking, this high-end price does require fabrics from that textile workshop.

that is...

Why? The design concepts are obviously similar, why can Qianzhi receive high-end custom orders so quickly?

Usher handed the check back to Qianzhi with a complicated expression and congratulated her.

"Congratulations. Your ideas and goals will probably be achieved in no time."

Qianzhi noticed that Usher's mentality had changed at this time.

He encouraged her, "Usher, if my work can satisfy my employer, I will recommend you to him."

"Your skills are not..."

Before Chizhi could finish her words, Usher turned around, waved his hand, and signaled Chizhi to go back.

...

On the other side, after having dinner together in Momang Palace, Funina took on the responsibility of clearing the tableware and washing the dishes.

Chao Ke and Navilette sat at the dining table, chatting about some topics.

"Snapped!"

Suddenly, a crisp sound was heard in the kitchen.

Hearing the sound of breaking dishes, the conversation between Chao Ke and Navilette also stopped.

"Ms. Funina, do you need any help?"

That Villette asked, heading towards the kitchen.

"No... no need. I am the god of Fontaine. The water I just washed with stimulated the water elemental power in my body. That's why I lost my grip and dropped the plate."

After hearing Funina's explanation, although it didn't make sense from the perspective of the Water Dragon King.

But without Furninna's permission, Navelette chose to sit where she was and no longer stepped forward to offer help.

However, Chao Ke, who was sitting next to Villette, was different.

Chao Ke stood up, gently pushed open the door of the restaurant, picked up Funina who was standing by the sink, and placed her behind him.

"Didn't I say I didn't need help? I just..."

"Okay, okay, I know you have a lot of water in your body, Funina, so it's easy to get it out."

"Go sit outside, my beloved Lord Fontaine, and let me, the chef, take care of the rest of the work."

"Eh?"

"Okay..Okay."

Furninha came out from the kitchen.

Chao Ke, on the other hand, first cleaned up the crumbs on the dinner plate, and only continued to clean up the plates after making sure all the residues were cleared away.

Outside the house, Villette looked at the scene with a complicated expression.

Funina verbally refused other people's requests for help, but Chao Ke didn't even ask. Instead, he directly "invited" Funina out.

"Human emotions are such a complicated thing to understand."

"How did Furninna do it...to understand human emotions so well?"

"Even...playing as a human..."
