Alice in the Land of Steam

Chapter 524 Isn’t this what you are worried about?

A little bit, I don't know when it started, and I don't know who stipulated it, but in short, swimsuit episodes have become a customary practice. You can suddenly insert swimsuit episodes at any time without worrying about the audience complaining: the plot has reached a bottleneck, and I don't know how to continue? Then just have a few swimsuit episodes first; the plot is about to enter the climax, but the protagonists are still obsessed with swimsuit holidays? Don't be embarrassing, this is to use a relaxed atmosphere to set off the darkness and cruelty of the subsequent plot; the plot has come to an end, why are the protagonists still in swimsuits? The answer is that after the war, it is natural to relax. The brave who bears the arduous responsibility of saving the world has fought for a lifetime, so what's wrong with enjoying it?
So, after some deep, profound, easy-to-understand and righteous thinking, Aijiang, who has been surfing the wonderful Internet era for many years, finally came to a conclusion: it's all the fault of Shaluan 2D!

If they hadn't been clamoring every day to see swimsuit benefits, release swimsuit figures, and buy swimsuit skins... would our two-dimensional family have developed into what it is today?
Therefore, Ai-chan decided to take the risk and personally experience the feeling of a swimsuit holiday, so that she can use this experience as an example in the future to criticize those stinky activities of the Sha'e Egg Two-Dimensional!
This is her true words, absolutely not false at all. If anyone violates her words, Xie Mi will be discovered by the boss lady if he sneaks in to eat snacks in the future!
"To sum up," Alice said with a fake smile on her face. She took out several blueprints from somewhere and handed them to Lingge: "Take a look at this first."

The young man's scalp had been tingling after hearing her nonsense before. Now that she finally stopped, he breathed a sigh of relief, then took the drawings from her, just like the general manager of a company taking this year's financial statements from a flattering secretary. He glanced at them casually and soon frowned.

This year's financial revenue and expenditure situation is not ideal... Ugh!
"What is this?" he asked.

“Can’t you see?” Alice was greatly surprised. In fact, she had always been surprised. Every time she saw her expression and heard her matter-of-fact tone, Linger didn’t know whether he was too ignorant or the knowledge she talked about was too obscure. In short, he was annoyed: “This is a swimsuit!”

"Excuse me." Linger took another look at the crude drawing on the blueprint, frowning even more tightly: "I didn't see a swimsuit, I only saw some--"

He paused, considering his words, and then continued, "They are very novel and unique in design, but they are actually not in accordance with etiquette and can even be described as immoral. If you call them swimsuits, I think, even if I agree, those gentlemen and ladies sitting in the big house drinking coffee and tea will not agree."

A few thin ropes and a few pieces of thin fabrics make the swimsuit look more like underwear than swimsuits. Underwear may even cover a much larger area than swimsuits. According to Linger's observation, even the thickest one in the drawings he saw could hardly cover more than 10% of the body. Wasn't this swimsuit designed to tempt people to commit crimes?

Seaside vacation is a leisure activity that emerged in the late 18th century. It was the heyday of the colonial era. In order to meet the shipping needs of colonial trade, countries built many new port cities along the coast, bringing many unknown areas into the vision of inland people. It also made seaside holidays that only royal aristocrats could enjoy in the past become a new entertainment for the urban middle class. The swimsuit designed specifically for seaside vacations was born at that time.

However, the beach at that time was divided into different areas for men and women. Men usually stood in waist-deep water naked to stimulate blood circulation and help remove toxins from the body. They would change back into their normal clothes after drying themselves. Women were subject to more stringent etiquette and regulations, so they had to wear swimsuits to play on the beach.

Essentially, the clothing invented by Minsuriya Republic fashion designer Bori, hence the name "Bori-style swimsuit", looks like a woolen sack with a string at the top and simple slits on the sides for the arms to pass through. This swimsuit is usually made of dark flannel and is long, even covering the ankles, so it can prevent the body from being exposed, but it also greatly restricts people's mobility, so it is almost impossible for women to swim in it. Their seaside entertainment is more like walking along the beach and dam, blowing the sea breeze, etc. Only in private sea bathing huts can they enjoy the feeling of soaking in the sea water, but those huts are usually very narrow, so it is far less than the feeling of swimming in the real sea.

The swimsuits Alice showed were light enough for Ling Ge, and he was sure that they were good enough for swimming and diving. But the only and biggest drawback was that they completely violated the etiquette and rules of this era. If he was at the beach in a big city like Lotterdana, he would not be able to wear them.

"Why!" Alice started to yell in dissatisfaction when she heard this: "Men can be naked, but women are restricted from even wearing swimsuits. This is discrimination! Apologize to me now, or I'm going to fight you, Ai-chan?" As she spoke, she stood in front of Ling'er, posing like a professional boxer, jumping back and forth, and occasionally swinging her fists to throw a left hook and an upper jab, looking eager to try.

Linger looked at her speechlessly: "Even if you want me to apologize, it's useless. This is not something I can decide alone. By the way, did you draw these swimsuits?"

He began to change the subject.

Alice, who was not very intelligent, was quickly fooled. She puffed out her chest and said proudly, "Yes, I designed it. Well, although it has existed on Earth for a long time, this is the first time in this world, so I designed it. But I didn't draw it. I can't draw, so I asked Metien to help me draw it."

"kindness?"

Ling'er's eyes suddenly became sharp: "You asked Metien to help you draw this kind of thing?"

Did you know that she was just a teenage girl? The negative impact on the physical and mental health of the young people in the Kingdom of Brittany is immeasurable. As a messenger of justice, Lingge cannot sit idly by.

"no problem, no problem."

Alice waved her hand nonchalantly, then came over with a smile, took out a swimsuit drawing from the one he was holding, and showed it to Linger: "I attach great importance to the legal rights and interests of minors, how could I make such an obvious mistake? So you see, this is the swimsuit I designed for Metien, it covers a large area, and has three-dimensional protection without blind spots in the front, back, top and bottom. How about it, isn't it very healthy? Oh, by the way, this kind of swimsuit has another nickname on our earth, called Sukushi…"

Ling Ge: “…”

Is this what I'm worried about?
