CHAPTER 1050

We talked about anti-slipping

----------------------------------------

“I and the others have started to wear the prototype slippers, and they are more comfortable than expected. However…there is also one other thing we learned…”

Mr. Halton said, and a shadow came over his face.

He then clarified that the slippers could be quite slippery, which was a problem.

It had been that way when Claire tried them on as well. Especially on floors made of wood.

After all, it was just cloth, with nothing underneath to create friction.

“Yes, I thought about that as well.”

“…We make shoes so they do not slip. But if we did the same with slippers, they would be even more expensive. And so we are not sure what to do.”

“Indeed. Actually, I had an idea…”

As I had known of the problem when Claire tried them on, I had also thought of a solution.

“Keith. Could you take it out?”

“Certainly.”

As Keith was carrying the baggage, I asked him to show Mr. Halton the thing I had prepared.

“What…is this? It is thin…but not cloth?”

“It’s called rubber. A material that can stretch.”

The thing that Keith took out was the rubber I had made recently with Weed Cultivation.

I had been making it every day, and since I had plenty in stock now, I thought that I could use some.

So, why not use it for slippers then?

I was able to melt a small amount and make a thin sheet of rubber in a pot. Then it just needed to be cut in different sizes.

While the thickness would have to be decided later, if it was just a few millimeters, it would not require much rubber. Also, from what I had tested, it was durable enough.

Even when Fen and Riruru tugged at it, it did not break…which made it stronger than the rubber I knew.

“A new material, eh? Really…? Indeed, it feels quite different. Oh, and it stretches quite easily.”

Mr. Halton held the rubber and looked quite impressed.

They were just small pieces, about 5 centimeters in length and one centimeter wide.

Also, they were black. Perhaps it was due to hardening them inside of the pot. Leo’s ball had been white.

“We took these and tried sewing them onto the prototype slippers, and they worked well.”

“So you already tried it. Well, if that’s true, then we couldn’t ask for more…”

“Well, there is a condition.”

“Condition?”

They were not very effective if the floor was wet. In fact, they could be even worse.

Ms. Gelda had told me this after slipping on the floor herself.

“I see… Rubber. With such a new material, I was starting to hope we could use it for other things too…”

“I am sure there are other uses. But it won’t work with everything. Regardless, as the method for making it is quite special…I cannot provide very much of it.”

If it was just slippers, I could make enough rubber in one day and still have some left over.
