Rising from the Slum City of Reincarnation in Another World ~ Gathering, Hunting, and Living a Slow Life by Eating - Chapter 145.8

TL/Note:

@Kei Arc, I will not drop the translation. It seems that the author is focusing on the LN, which is probably the reason for the slow updates on the WN.

Chapter 145.8 Uniform

“Yo, Harris.”

“What’s up, Ed? It’s finally time for the academy, huh?”

“Yeah.”

“Never thought I’d end up enrolling.”

“Right?”

Harris was a year older than us, but for various reasons, he ended up enrolling with us.
The age for each grade wasn’t strict, and there were many students who enrolled late like this.
Originally, Harris hadn’t planned on attending Trieste High School, but after some nudging from me, Ed, and others around him, he reluctantly decided to enroll.

“How’s the uniform?”

“It’s too fancy for a kid from the slums.”

“There’s a saying for that: ‘Even a horse looks good in fancy gear.'”

“Heh, you sure know a lot, Ed.”

“Well, yeah.”

That’s because I have memories from a past life, after all.
The uniform was like a blazer but with embellishments, giving it a bit of a noble look.
Well, since the rich kids would be wearing it, it was naturally flashy.

As for Harris’s house, it used to be a rundown shack, but they’d recently moved into a slightly better hut nearby.
Slowly but surely, the houses in the slums were being replaced with nicer ones.
Harris’s grandmother had regained her health since then and was still doing well.

“The girls are cute, huh?”

“Totally.”

“Hehe, I like you, Ed!”

“How about us, Ed-kun?”

“Do you like the uniform, Ed-kun? Nya~”

The girls’ uniforms were a mix between a sailor suit and a blazer, with sailor collars and checkered patterns, making them just as flashy as the boys’.
I have to admit, they looked pretty cute wearing them.
Harris was also quietly staring in awe.

The skirts were mini-length by default, and the knee-high socks were held up with garters since there were no elastics.
Apparently, garters were standard in Japan during the Taisho era too.
Looking at all this, it feels like something out of a school rom-com.

My past life’s high school experience wasn’t all that great, but now I’m surrounded by not just two girls but three—and let’s not forget Lady Eleanor.

“Ed-kun!”

Look over there—Lady Eleanor is running towards us, accompanied by a knight in uniform.

“Hey, Lady Eleanor!”

“Oh, come on, we’re going to the same school now. No need to be so formal!”

“But Lady Eleanor is Lady Eleanor.”

“Well, yes, but…”

“You can call me ‘Ele-chan’ like Minya-chan and the others do.”

“I’m fine with it.”

“Geez.”

“Ahahaha.”

We all laugh together, and now everyone’s in their uniforms.

“Well then, shall we go?”
