Yasmina Silk
Scalding Sands - Kalim’s House
Trey
Are these outfits embroidered with fireworks all over because they’re worn specially for the fireworks festival?
Jamil
Yes. The Asim family creates new sets of costumes every year for the festival.
Kalim
We get outfits made for everyone working for us too…
And then, alllll of us can enjoy the Yasmina River Fireworks Festival together!
Trey
I didn’t expect this to be cooling since the sleeve and hem are so long.
Jamil
You feel less heat from using fabric to shield your skin since the sunlight is very strong here.
Furthermore, these clothes should have a cooling effect because they are made of fabric with fine breathability.
Trey
That’s certainly the case. I’m thankful for this bandanna for protecting my head in particular from direct sunlight.
Though, for Cater and Malleus, it must’ve taken lots of time to do up your hair, right?
Mine was a breeze since it’s short.
Cater
That wasn’t the case y’know~ The attendants helped us with everything!
Malleus
In addition, they spent no more time accommodating my horns by leaving openings for them while tying my hair.
Cater
These bells around our waists are also pretty hip! They jingle with each step you take!
Jamil
The ringing of bells is said to ward off evil since the fireworks festival also has a religious aspect to it.
Cater
Speaking of which, I’ve been wondering for a while, but…
Why is Jamil’s outfit different from the rest of us? It’s so flashy.
Jamil
That’s because the Asim family is the main organiser for the festival this year…
It seems that as Kalim’s attendant, I’m also required to be dressed glamorously.
I’m also a little taken aback myself since this is the first time I’ve had an outfit with so many ornaments prepared for me.
…I much prefer casual wear to such formal wear.
Kalim
C’mon, don’t say that~ This is also a pretty important arrangement, don’t you think so?
Jamil
Yeah, I know.
Trey
The loincloth1 and its fire pattern definitely looks like something you’d wear.
Cater
And the cape you have on is so stylish~! What’s the lantern at your waist for?
Jamil
It is a lantern that can be lit using magic.
The main event of the fireworks festival happens at night…
Which is why I carry this. It enables me to attend to our dear guests even if an accident were to occur later.
Trey
On top of being stylish, this bandanna also feels quite good. Should I buy it so I can wear it regularly after we get back?
Jamil
If it’s a piece of cloth in this design in particular…one should cost hundreds of thousands of Madols.
Trey
Th-That much!?
Jamil
This cloth is called Yasmina Silk, and it is a textile unique to Silk City.
The artisans spent considerable amounts of time weaving the cloth used for everyone’s costumes by hand, so it is among the best of its variety.
They were prepared based on the Asim family’s age-old aspiration to never loan subpar items to their dear guests.
Kalim
If you like it, then feel free to take as many as you want with you, Trey! Would 50 pieces or so do?
Trey
No thanks… I think I’ll give that a hard pass. I feel more comfortable wearing my usual hats.
Jamil
Would you be alright with browsing the city’s wares, then? You can find reasonably priced goods there.
Trey
I see, then I’ll find something that fits my build there.
Cater
Really felt like a king earlier since I was being assisted by not one, but several attendants just to get changed ~♪
Trey
Yeah, it was certainly a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
Malleus
…If Lilia were here, he would have been so delighted. It is a shame that he couldn’t join us for today.
Cater
Ah! Why don’t we send him a pic, then?
I think Lilsy would be happy too if he saw a pic of Malleus having fun…
Plus, doing so makes you feel like you’re on a vacation, right?
Malleus
A photograph… I am not entirely familiar with taking one, however.
Cater
It is also for the sake of making Lilsy’s day while he’s suffering from a stomach ache as we speak.
Malleus
Hmm… Then, let’s have one taken. I must have a record of this journey for Lilia’s sake as well.
Cater
That’s the spirit!
Plus, if it’s gonna be shown to Lilia, a group photo with yaboi Cater and the gang would be better, don’tcha think so?
Kalim
And everyone already took the time out to get dressed for the occasion!
I’ll take the photo, so get in line over there, okay~ Trey, Jamil, Yuu! All of you too!
*Snap!*
Kalim
…Man, now I also wanna be with all of you in the photo! Wait here, I’m gonna find someone to snap a photo for us!
Notes
- This is an open plea for anyone, clothes connoisseur or not, who knows what on earth a “cloth that cover the front of one’s nether regions, but is not explicitly underwear because the wearer already has PG 13 tights on” is called to please correct me if necessary on this. Because I literally. Have no other idea. And the fact that Trey has to point this out is quite blursed. (Return to text)
