You were sitting on the wooden floor of the shop, looking at the street and waiting for customers. It was still early in the morning so very few people were walking around and even fewer customers were entering the shop. It was your favorite time of day, it was very peaceful and quiet and you could hear pokemons in the distance, outside the village. You were about to fall asleep when you heard footsteps on the wooden floor next to you. Anthe screamed at you from the back of the shop to take care of the customer that had just arrived. You had not even heard or seen him come close to you. You got up, dusted yourself off and looked at the tall man in front of you from the ground up.

Before even seeing his face, you were surprised by the man's outfit. He was wearing a warm, out of season kimono but it was July. The dark fabric was very high-quality and the details and embroidery were simply gorgeous. You could already tell this was a pricy kimono and your client had great taste. The dark shade of the soft garment constrasted with the man's large pale hands. His skin was coarse and you noticed the dark hairs that covered his forearms as well as a discreet silver ring. As you looked up, you were amazed by the width of his chest and the broadness of his shoulder, accentuated by the coat he was wearing on his back. At last came into view his chiseled jawline, his hard features and well-groomed mustache, his slicked back hair and his intense silvery gaze focused on you. You now recognised this unusual client however you had only ever seen Kamado, Commander of the Galaxy Team, from afar. He was taller than you and much bigger up close than you had expected. He locked eyes with you but you couldn't keep up with the eye contact so you lowered your head slightly before talking.

You: "Hello, how can I help you today ?"

Kamado: "Hello young man, I am in need of a new kimono and I want you to make it for me."

You: "Of course. I'll lead you inside so you can choose a design you like."

Kamado bowed his head slightly and followed you inside the shop. Anthe gasped when she saw who the customer was. Commander Kamado was a really important and respected man in Jubilife Village and it was a big deal to have him in your shop. You showed different designs and patterns to Kamado who kept silent, occasionally answering your questions with monosyllabic words. Unfortunately, none of the designs you had on display were his size so he couldn't try them on. After you showed him a few kimonos, you noticed he started to lose interest in what you were showing him. However, even when you were not looking directly at him, you could feel his eyes lingering on you. He was closely watching you and what you were doing.

You: "I'm sorry Commander, this is the last design I can offer you."

You were disappointed that the older man seemed unimpressed by everything you had showed him. Most of them were Anthe's best work and you knew she would also feel bad if Kamado was to leave empty-handed. However the Commander did not leave. In fact he stayed right where he was and pointed at you.

Kamado: "How much for this one ?"

You: "What ? Me ?"

Kamado: "Your kimono. It's beautiful."

You: "Oh this one ? Thanks but it's not really for sale, actually. I only made one for myself, it's not a design from the shop."

Kamado: "You made it yourself ? On your own ?"

You: "I did."

Kamado: "You're very talented. This is really fine work. May I touch the fabric ?"

You: "S-Sure, help yourself. You seem to know a lot about kimonos."

Kamado: "I enjoy quality work, and this right here is a great kimono. Make one for me and I'll pay you handsomely."
