Work Text:
Museum of the Ugliest Christmas Sweaters. It was a strange concept for Chiito and Yuuri. Upon entering that place, Chito knew what the term museum implied, and that was exactly why she wanted to investigate the place while Yuuri simply followed her as she always did. The Kettenkrad couldn't enter there, so they simply walked.
"What is a sweater?" Yuuri asked.
The girls looked at the hall full of cubicles of broken glass, even the frames on the wall.
"It's a type of clothing made of wool that can keep people warm," Chiito explained, "But it seems that the people who needed it took it away a long time ago."
"Why would people keep it in a museum?"
"Maybe they didn't have needs like we do now."
"And what does Christmas mean?"
"It was an event held annually when winter arrived."
Yuuri paused thoughtfully, then said, "I understand, they kept those sweaters warm all year round and then wore them when winter arrived!"
"No, if these clothes were removed normally, then why are there shards of glass scattered around the museum?"
"Maybe it's the only way to keep them warm?"
"That's nonsense because the sweater itself can be heated normally like our clothes!"
"Oh, good point..."
Yuuri and Chiito fell silent, then walked through the corridors in search of something interesting, but also something that could be of vital importance like food, medicine, and ammunition for some reason. Soon they arrived at another room where a plaque read "Christmas Sweaters Winning the Ugliest Christmas Sweater Competition." Chiito only understood half the words, so she stated this to Yuuri.
"How could a sweater win a competition if it's just a piece of clothing? And shouldn't winners be the best? How can it win if it's the ugliest? You meant least ugly?"
"I'm not sure, it's even faded."
They walked to the end of the hallway when they saw a complete mess in the corner of a wall with a sign that read "The ugliest sweater of all time." It was even illuminated by a hole in the ceiling where light raindrops were coming in.
"What is this, Chito?"
"The sign says it's the ugliest sweater of all time, but it looks like there's just what appears to be muddy grass that may have gotten in through some of those openings in the building."
"It must be, or maybe this sweater is so ugly that nobody wanted to wear it!" Yuuri commented.
"Nonsense, nobody would waste clothes, no matter how ugly they are."
"So, can we pick up this ugly thing? Or it’s edible..." Yuuri said, approaching, but Chito pulled her back.
"No, it's better if we don't touch that thing, and there's nothing else to look at. We'd better continue our journey." Chito siad.
“Oh, okay…” Yuuri replied.
And so, the two went out for another tour. She wasn't quite sure what she had seen, but since they had seen so many things, they continued on their long journey to the tower.
