Chapter 1107 - Founder Olivia ⑥

[What are you supposed to do with these things?]

[It’s a small interior decoration, so it’s something you kind of use to decorate a desk or something like that.]

[What effect does decoration have?]

[E- Effect? E- Errr, it increases the color in the room…… I guess?]

[Does the increase in color affect you in any way?]

[……You’re feeling more positive, have a better atmosphere around……]

[I see, so it’s a spiritual product huh.]

She’s not wrong. What she said isn’t wrong but…… I feel like she’s mistaking it as some kind of magic tool. Seeing Olivia-san looking at the various interior decorations with such interest, feeling rather pleasant, I called out to her.

[Since we’re at it, it might be a good idea to buy something.]

She had sent a letter to me, so she’d at least have a desk or something, and I think it might be good to place it there.

[No, my spirit doesn’t have any problems, so it’s not necessary.]

[It’s not like you can’t place them there, right?]

[Yes.]

[Then, let’s go get something.]

[I understand.]

For a moment, Olivia-san looked like she was wondering why she’s doing this, but I guess she thought I was buying something for myself, so she just nodded in agreement.

And so, I purchased a crystal-like, palm-sized interior decoration that somehow matched Olivia-san’s atmosphere, and presented it to her when I approached her.

[I’m sorry I took the liberty of picking this out for you, so if it’s alright with you, please take it.]

[……Eh?]

[Olivia-san said she didn’t need it, but it might give you a different impression if you actually place it, so why don’t you give it a try?]

[……Y- Yes.]

Olivia-san looked perplexed, perhaps not expecting that I would hand it to her, but she accepted it anyway when I forcefully handed it to her.

Thereupon, after staring intently at the interior decoration in her hand, she looked at me with a slightly puzzled expression on her face.

[……Thank you very much.]

She looked puzzled, but she didn’t seem to dislike it…… and the emotion transmitted through Sympathy Magic contained a bit of joy.

After leaving the miscellaneous goods store, since walking around without any particular purpose isn’t a good idea, I decided to think of a destination for the time being.

[Olivia-san, are there any famous tourist attractions around here?]

[There’s a park with a large lake nearby. Tourist information records say it’s famous for its rowboats.]

[Rowboats huh, it must be a pretty big park then. That sounds interesting, so why don’t we check it out?]

[As Miyama Kaito-sama wishes.]

Even though she has never actually been there, Olivia-san seems to have the information about all the tourist attractions in her head, and she is able to tell me about the sights with ease.

However, I don’t have much experience with rowing boats, but it looks like a lot of fun. Since it’s famous, that must mean it had good scenery, so I’m looking forward to it.

Going in the direction Olivia-san told me, a little while later, I saw a park. It was a very large park, and there was a large signboard to guide us.

Half of the park consists of the lake, and it looks like that is where we can ride a boat. While taking in the scenery of the park, we arrived at the location where the rowboats were located.

After I paid the fee at the reception, we were guided to……a rowboat, which was just as I had imagined, equipped with wooden oars.

It looked like I would be sitting facing Olivia-san, so I got in first and tried rowing the boat…… but then, Olivia-san flusteredly called out to me.

[Please wait. I can’t let Miyama Kaito-sama handle such trivial chores…… so please allow me to do it.]

[No, no, I’ll do it…… I mean, to be honest, I kind of want to try it out, so let me do it.]

[Uuuu, i -if that’s what you want…… I’ll change with you on the way.]

Considering the size of the boat, it seems like it would be difficult to swap positions along the way……

Well, Olivia-san reluctantly agreed to do it anyway, so I decided to row the oars.

Now that I tried paddling, it was heavier than I had imagined and required a lot of strength, but it was still not so heavy that I felt desperate, and I could afford to enjoy the scenery.

[The view is nice, and the wind feels good.]

[……Ummm, don’t you think it’s time for us to switch? Aren’t you tired, Miyama Kaito-sama?]

[I’m alright. Don’t worry about me, Olivia-san, and just enjoy the scenery.]

She looks really flustered. Apparently, she’s quite concerned about the fact that I’m the one rowing the oars…… Well, I’m not planning on swapping with her on the way, so let’s just push through like this.
