Chapter 1566 - Archlesia Empire Founding Festival ⑥
[……Well then, can I have this teacup set?]
[Yes. Thank you for your patronage. Shall I put them in a bag?]
[Ahh, no, I have a magic box, so it’s alright.]
Although she still looked bewildered, she decided that it would be impolite to ponder over the situation any longer in front of the stall, so she paid the 1000R cited by Kaito and bought the teacup set.
(It’s too cheap that I feel apologetic, but in the first place, Miyama Kaito-sama is a person who has financial power that can’t be compared to ordinary nobles. Considering this, I suppose it would be correct to regard this stall opening as a kind of entertainment, and he may not be too concerned about sales. In any case, I have acquired wonderful teacups. Mother and Father should be delighted with these.)
Despite her confusion, there’s no doubt that she had bought a great product. As they were items with Kaito’s brand on them, there’s no doubt that they would be highly regarded in social circles. Moreover, considering from the position of a member of a Marquisate and also from a personal perspective, it’s undeniable that this is a product that one can take pride in around other people. That’s why, there’s no problem———– or so the young lady told herself in her heart, but immediately right after, Kaito presented to her a small wooden box with a gentle smile.
[Here’s a freebie for your purchase.]
[……A freebie?]
[Yes, this is also something we made, an assortment of crafted sugar. They’re quite beautiful, and you can use them to make a cup of tea if you like.]
[Oh my, thank you very much for your kindness.]
Respectfully bowing her head as she received the wooden box, the young lady looked at the wooden box.
(A wooden box with an astonishingly good quality. Moreover, crafted sugar…… Come to think of it, I remember hearing that a high-ranking noble from Symphonia Kingdom hosted a tea party, where a beautifully crafted sugar was presented. That noble apparently also got the crafted sugar by chance, and it wasn’t something that was commercially available…… Was this the same crafted sugar as that? It is quite possible…… but it would be impolite to open the box here and check its contents. Checking it would be when we get home huh.)
With that conclusion in mind, the young lady put the wooden box away in her magic box. With this, her shopping was safely finished, but just as she was about to thank him before she left, a cheerful voice resounded.
[Kai-chaaaaan! I came to visit~~]
[Eh? Fate-san!?]
[. . . . . . ! ? ! ? ! ?]
Seeing the being on the floating cushion that suddenly appeared beside her, the young lady involuntarily covered her mouth with her hand to suppress her scream.
(Ababababa…… G- G- G- G- Goddess of Fate-samaaaaa!? W- W- W- Why is she at a place like this…… Wait, she definitely came here to meet up with Miyama Kaito-sama. T- This won’t do. If we stay in this kind of place, we will disturb not only Miyama Kaito-sama, but also Goddess of Fate-sama. Fortunately, she doesn’t seem to be interested in us, so let’s quietly leave this place……)
Even though she was surprised by Fate’s appearance that her heart was about to burst, the young lady desperately kept her mouth shut so as not to displease her and tried to quietly leave the place, but as if to ridicule such thoughts, a new voice came from behind the young lady who was keeping her gaze towards Fate.
[God of Fate! You wretch, you dare play me for a fool!!!?]
[Keh, God of Time and Space!? You chased me already?]
[Of course, I would! You damned idiot!!!]
The one who appeared behind the young lady was one of the Supreme Gods, Chronois, and being sandwiched between the two Supreme Gods, Fate and Chronois, the young lady screamed in her heart.
(Higyyaaaaaaaahhh!? E- E- E- Even Goddess of Time-sama!? W- W- W- What is with this situation…… W- W- W- What should I do……)
Seemingly asking for help, the young lady looked at her maid guard who was just looking at her at a distance. As expected though, just as the young lady was uncomfortable with her current situation, the maid didn’t want to get involved in a situation where two Supreme Gods appeared, as she seemed to be pretending like they were strangers somewhere far away.
Left behind by her own guard, the young lady, for the umpteenth time today, put her hand on her aching stomach and looked up to the heavens with eyes like that of a dead fish.
<Afterword>
Serious-senpai : [This shower of offensive attacks…… I felt a strong will to destroy her stomach at any cost…… Also, the mob lady is just too pitiful.]
? ? ? : [Well, Kaito-san will probably help her out, so she should be alright…… but if you trace the cause of her suffering, the original culprit is actually Kaito-san……]
