Ch. 48 Ep. 8: Off to Life Planning!

Today's the day where you'll be trying the life planning course. What sort of adventures will that bring?

Lanzhu

Karin, Kanata! I enrolled in the Life Design course's experience program with Lanzhu and Emma.

Emma

I really felt like signing up after that discussion we had the other day.

Kanata

Oh, really? I welcome you with open arms!

Lanzhu

The Life Design course experience program is the same for students in any year. I'm so happy I got to take the same program!

Kanata

It's a hands-on cooking and clothing class, so it looks like they did it that way so that everyone who wants to do it can take it together.

Lanzhu

I'm so grateful to Shioriko! Oh, by the way, I've got something I wanted to talk to you all about.

Karin

What is it?

Emma

It says we need to bring in some old clothes. What'll that be used for?

Karin

Oh, I wonder if we'll be repurposing old clothes? You know, for re-styling?

Kanata

I bet that's it, yeah. It's a good choice for a hands-on experience program.

Emma

Re-styling, huh.

Lanzhu

How much of it should would bring?

Kanata

Hm? You should just take anything you think you can use, I'd say.

Lanzhu

Oh, right. Got it!

Emma

I can't wait for the day of the program!

[Fade in/out.]

Teacher

…As you can see, there are many different fields of expertise when it comes to life design.

Emma

So we can learn about medicine, welfare, beauty, interior design, or even traditional culture, huh.

Lanzhu

I guess if it's supposed to enrich our lives overall, it's only natural that we'd learn about a bunch of different things.

Kanata

Yeah, but it's almost too much stuff… I feel like I might burst!

Teacher

And with that, let us move right on to the experience program, shall we? Did you all bring some old clothes with you?

Teacher

Today, Today, each group will be asked to make an outfit using repurposed old clothing. After that, you will wear them and put on a fashion show.

Emma

It's just like you said, Karin. I brought my clothes!

Karin

And what did you bring, Emma? Wow! Isn't this a traditional outfit?!

Emma

Yep! It's a little piece of treasure I brought over when I came to Japan.

Karin

Let me get a good look at that… It may be old, but the fabric and sewing are exceptional. The embroidery is hand-stitched, too.

Kanata

Are you sure we can use this today?

Emma

This is exactly what I want to use it for. I got this out as soon as I heard we might be repurposing old clothing.

Emma

I took really good care of this outfit, but it's too small for me to wear now.

Emma

Even so, it's not like I can just throw it out.

Emma

So that's why I want it to be used to make something new today.

Emma

If I can repurpose my beloved outfit with my beloved friends Karin, Kanata, and Lanzhu, I'm sure it'll end up being a treasure that I'll love even more!

Karin

In that case, leave it to us.

Kanata

Time to get fired up!

Lanzhu

I'll try my very best to help too!

Emma

Yeah. I'm counting on you all!

Kanata

What kinda old clothes did you bring, Lanzhu?

Lanzhu

This here is mine!

Kanata

This many?! Are these really old?! They all look brand new to me!

Karin

And they're all really high quality… The sewing work is beautiful. Are you sure we can reuse these?

Lanzhu

Yep! They're all my favorites!

Kanata

You'll okay with using your favorites?!

Lanzhu

Of course! I want to gift everyone clothes made from my re-styled favorite outfits!

Lanzhu

I want to make enough for everybody, so I've gotta pull out all the stops! You'll help me, right?!

Emma

Like you even need to ask!

Karin

What an unexpectedly rewarding experience.

Karin

It's not every day you get entrusted with historical or high-end clothes in a class.

Kanata

That's true… It's not like an opportunity like this comes around often. Alright, it's time to put my best foot forward! Let's do this, Karin!

Karin

Right!

Lanzhu

Squee! Check it out, Emma! Karin's eyes are positively sparkling!

Emma

We need to lend a hand too, Lanzhu!

Lanzhu

Yeah, I'll give it my all!
