Ok, so really thought there would be one more part of the previous chapter, or at least expanding of it at the start of this one.
So all I can do is speculate.
Seems like Laplace is Maxwell's daughter, and he was like she accused the father of being there (projecting her relationship in there): treating her as his property, only giving complaints while diminishing her achievements and lording his over her and everyone.
Then... she started showing more talent than he has, and in a mix of envy and hurt pride he
locked sealed her away, turned those achievements negative, and thus birthed the current system where women are looked down upon so he could go
back to being looked up to, as he probably thought had always been his place outside the setback that was his daughter.
About this very chapter...
Do... do we have an
actual fashion police here?
And worse, seeing how some of the other guys dressed in previous chapters, how
would fashin there work?
And does he have any idea how fighting with weapons work, thinking people can just use a "more fitting" weapon just like that?
And worse, he seems to want them to look fine together
even while fighting? Why let her use a dress then?
...
That said,
Why does he even get a reason to say it?
Why didn't Laplace and Tanya change either the dress or the sword so they would look good together
before arriving, since they knew she would be with the blade and the dress?
I can see
Tanya not caring, but... Laplace? I'd have guessed she would be all over it. Does Maxwell possibly being present shakes her up that much?
Why not doing Wonder Woman?
Sword too big.
Also, dude wants the sword to fit the dress
even mid-fight (which can be done since Laplace literaly magics the dress in the look she wants, but still the ridiculeness is there).
I don't think the doorman is being unreasonable. Dress codes are there for a reason. He could have phrased it better though.
If you are warned of the part being broken of the dress code, which as the girls mention that part was not in their letter.
And even so, the fact
his refusal includes only summoning it when they would need to fight would kill the argument.
