The Tailor and the Auto Memories Doll (仕立て屋と自動手記人形, Shitateya to Jidou Shuki Ningyou?) is a short story included in the "KA Esuma Short Story Collection" that was part of the KA Esuma Bunko Relay 2020 campaign.
Summary[]
The owner of "Canaria Tailor", Canaria, receives a longtime patron, Claudia Hodgins. Claudia brings Violet along with him to have a Doll outfit made for her. At this time, Violet had just been hired by Claudia to work as an Auto Memories Doll at his company. Canaria notes Violet's indifference towards fashion, as well as the fact that she's a former soldier. Spurred on by the fact that Violet, as a child soldier, had never known the concept of "dressing up," he decides to make the perfect outfit for her. He explains to her that as an Auto Memories Doll, dressing well is what's expected of her. He likens a woman's beauty and appearance to weapons on a battlefield. Violet seems to understand and goes along with his instructions. Canaria silently vows to give her "armor" that will allow her to face any hardship with resolution.
