Chapter 1572 - Archlesia Empire Founding Festival ?

Meanwhile, Kaori-san seems to be more interested in the ceramics in front of me than the chuuni goods. The fact that she’s looking more towards the tableware than the cups, I wonder if it was because she’s the owner of a restaurant?

[These ceramics are nice…… It has a Japanese style to it, so I think I can use these in my restaurant.]

[Are you gonna buy them?]

[N- No, as expected, with its price…… Besides, I’m afraid to use high-end items in my restaurant. Don’t you have anything that is less expensive, Kaito-kun?]

[Well, there are these accessories here. I made them, and as they’re items made by an amateur, they’re cheap.]

Among my acquaintances, Kaori-san has a commoner’s sense of money, which is in a way, something precious to me. Chris-san and the others said that my ceramics were still too cheap, but according to Kaori-san’s impression of it, they were high-class ceramics that were too expensive to afford.

No, I think that Kaori-san’s sense is the normal one. There were just too many rich people around me…… But looking back, I feel that the very first customer also reacted that my items were rather cheap. She seemed to be dressed well, so she might be a noble who came to the festival incognito.

[Eh? Kaito-kun made these? That’s amazing, Kaito-kun’s pretty dexterous huh.]

[No, it’s thanks to the simple production kit Alice made.]

[Then, while I’m here, I guess I’ll buy one…… Ah, you mind if I buy two?]

[I don’t mind, but you aren’t talking about 2 accessories combined into one, right?]

[Unnn. I was thinking of buying another as a souvenir for Olivia-sama…… She’s a regular customer, and if it’s an accessory made by Kaito-kun, it would make her happy.]

[Ahh, I see.]

She was rather timid when she first met Olivia-san, but somehow, I got the impression that she was building a good relationship with her. Kaori-san is sociable, and even with all this and that, it’s possible that she and Olivia-san were friends.

While thinking about that, I sell two accessories to Kaori-san. I have 5 accessories that I made myself for sale, so there are 3 left.

[Thanks! As for Akane-san…… Wait, you’re gonna buy that many!?]

[On? Yeah, thought I’d try to buy a whole bunch of them. They’re low-priced and you don’t see them very often anywhere else, so I thought it would be nice to stock up and sell them……]

[Alice is the one who makes them, so if you want to buy more, you can talk to her.]

[The creator is Phantasmal King-sama!? No wonder, even though it’s low-priced, their quality is excellent…… However, Phantasmal King-sama has trading companies, right? No, I’m not sure which company she had, but she’d definitely have a huge company under her influence, so if she’s gonna sell something, why not sell it there?]

[No, Alice makes those items as a hobby, so I’m sure you’d be able to negotiate with her.]

[Fumu…… Then, I’ll see how things turned out, so when that time comes, I’d like to ask you for introductions.]

Alice actually doesn’t handle her temperature-regulated bedding and sleeping bags through her own company, and was instead handing them over to Kuro’s company. The items available at her miscellaneous goods store are mostly consistent with her hobbies, and it doesn’t seem like she sells them on a large scale. In fact, the chuuni goods don’t seem to be sold anywhere else, and depending on how their negotiations go, I feel like she’ll easily accept it, so I think Akane-san got a chance.

[Are you two going to the Central Plaza after this?]

[Unnn, that’s the plan. Since we had attended the festival, we thought we’d go see the ceremony.]

[I heard that the Supreme Gods are all attending this year. It’s a good time to be a spectator.]

After they had finished buying what they wanted, I had a quick chat with them. This kind of leeway is one of the advantages of having a stall in a place where there are few pedestrians.

Perhaps, there might be a chance of running into someone I know by chance again, and it’d be nice to be able to have casual conversations.

[Come on, we’d better get going.]

[Ah, yes. Thank you for your purchase.]

[Kaito-kun, you do your best with your stall————-]

[Oh? So you’re here! Yo, Kaito!!! What a coincidence!!!]

[———–Hyiiihhh!?]

Just as Akane-san and Kaori were about to leave, I heard a familiar loud voice, and soon after, a large muscular red-haired man……. the Humanized Megiddo-san appeared in front of our stall.

[M- Megiddo-san?]

[Ou! I came to buy some alcohol, when I felt your magic power, so I came to see you! What an interesting-looking stall you got here…… Ahhn?]

[ [ ! ? ] ]

Megiddo-san, who was heartily smiling, seemed to have noticed the nearby Akane-san and Kaori-san and looked at them, making them immediately straighten their backs.

Well, I understand how they feel. It wasn’t like Megiddo-san had any malice towards them, but her looking like a muscular and tall guy is quite intimidating. Meanwhile, Akane-san, her back still straightened, stared at me with half-open eyes.

This was just my hunch, but somehow, I feel like her voice telling me “You, enough with this already……”.

<Afterword>

? ? ? : [It’s a gorilla raid. Gorilla-san is basically a vulgar gorilla, so of course, they would be surprised if a gorilla suddenly appeared in front of them~~]

Serious-senpai : [Well, with Megiddo’s character, it isn’t like she was trying to intimidate them, with her thoughts more like “Who the heck are these?”, but she just had to say that “Ahhn?” with a really threatening voice.]
