"Oh~...... It's awesome~"
"Really. It's really......
amazing......"
When Alvin and
the others arrived at the Magic Shopping District, they were surprised to find
that the atmosphere was quite different from what they had imagined.
The stores on
the main street were lined with gorgeously decorated two-story stores, and each
store had a wide area with room for a carriage to dock.
Not many of the
customers were dressed as adventurers like Alvin and the others, but most of
them were neatly dressed.
"Is this the main street look like? The
only stores here are those authorized by the Magic Guild, and they sell a lot
of high-end goods. But we're going to the second street next door"
"Yeah, that's right! It's a bit of a
different world......."
Milis, Renka
and Akane reacted in a similar way.
"You can go into the store if you want. But
it's a little out of style, although they have a good selection. I've
been told that there is a rare magic tool that can't be found on anywhere except on this
street"
"I don't have anything specific that I
want, so I'll pass on that for now"
Shinji asked
around, but no one wanted to go in.
Therefore, they
moved to the second street, which was just like any other shopping street in
the city.
"I feel more comfortable in this kind of
atmosphere"
"I don't like stuffy places either"
Shinji led the
group of people who were finally feeling comfortable.
"What are you going to do now?"
"Hmm, let's just hang out. I'd like to buy
some stuff for the party house"
"What are you going to buy?......"
Renka, who knew
that Alvin's room was not very tidy, looked at him with a puzzled look in her
eyes.
"Some kind of local souvenir, maybe?"
"Mil, you'd better keep an eye on Al, or
he'll have a whole house full of strange objects in no time"
"Haha...... I'll be careful"
For some
reason, Alvin is smug as if he said something good, but Renka ignores him and
starts talking to a smiling Milis.
Then Shinji
lightly tapped Alvin on the shoulder.
"Alvin, since we're here, why don't you
look for some gems? Magically crafted gems are interesting because they are
different from ordinary gems"
"Oh! Certainly, ...... it might be a nice
idea. If I buy it, will Haruto process it for me?"
"I don't think it will be a problem.
Because it's not unusual to order something with a specific gemstone"
Shinji and
Alvin whispered to each other in hushed tones.
Alvin nodded
his head and gave a thumbs up, but Shinji stopped whispering and spoke so that
everyone could hear.
"Let's go into a decent store for now. First
of all, let's go to that jewelry store"
"Right~ ♪ Shinji, buy some accessories for me ♡"
"Why?......"
Shinji took the
initiative to go to the jewelry store.
Emily jumps on
Shinji's right arm and hugs his arm, and Renka takes his left arm and hugs his
arm too. As the three of them walked side by side to the store, Akane followed
behind, followed by Alvin and Milis.
(Master is so aggressive...... Even Renka is
very aggressive when she is no longer hiding the relationship......)
Renka, after
publicly revealing herself as Shinji's girlfriend, does not hide her affection
for him and is willing to cross her arms in public.
She doesn't get
attached to him more than she has to if she's not competing with Emily......
Alvin glanced
sideways at Milis, who was standing next to him.
He looked down
and saw Milis's hands swaying as she walked.
Milis does not
try to touch Alvin more than necessary in the presence of others. When it's
just his relatives, she'll pamper him, so Alvin has no complaints.
Today, however,
Shinji and the others were crossing their arms in front of him, which made
Alvin jealous, so he grabbed Milis' hand.
Milis was
surprised by Alvin's sudden action, but smiled and squeezed his hand back.
Then Alvin and
Milis, hand in hand, went around looking at the jewelry.
While doing so,
Alvin was able to find out Milis' taste in jewelry. And with the real thing in
front of them, it was not unnatural for them to talk about this and that.
He was able to
research Milis' favorite jewel in a very natural way.
(Now the surprise was as good as a
success......! Thank you, Shinji!)
Shinji was in
the middle of being tossed around by Renka and Emily when Alvin looked at him
with gratitude.
***
After strolling
through the magic shopping district, Alvin and the others decided to return to
the inn just before dark. When they arrived at the inn, they were politely
greeted by the employees.
"We are keeping a letter for you"
"Thank you! Shinji! It's from the Magic
Guild!"
Alvin received
two letters from the employees.
One of the two
letters Alvin had received from an employee was wrapped and stamped with the
same seal as the invitation he had received from the Adventurers' Guild, so
even Alvin recognized it.
Hearing Alvin's
voice, Shinji came to Alvin's side. Renka and Milis had also gathered to see
what it said.
"The other letter was from the...... Beltz
family. Why don't we start with the letter from the magic guild?"
Shinji had a
bad feeling about the letter with the Beltz family crest stamped on it.
Alvin opened
the letter and checked the contents.
"They want us to come to the magic guild
the morning after tomorrow. Apparently, we'll get a prize there"
"That's pretty much what I expected......
Now, what about the Beltz family?"
Shinji breathed
a sigh of relief at the predictable content.
If they're
taking a break for too long, their intuition gets dull. Because Alvin and the
others who are aiming to reach Hateyama are planning to repeat moderate battles
to build up their skills.
So, they can't
stay in Oeste forever.
"......Hey, what's the meaning of
this?"
"Can you show me? ......."
Shinji took the
letter from Alvin, who was tilting his head, and checked the text.
The letter was
filled with cute characters, and the summary was that she wanted to come to the
house to hear about the adventure of saving the city because she couldn't hear
about it last time.
(Hearing the story is just a pretext, but I
guess she wants to see ......Alvin again. That young lady)
Looking at
Alvin, Shinji thought that the young lady had fallen in love with him and it
was troublesome.
"It's an invitation to talk, isn't it?
It's a letter from a young lady that Alvin helped the other day"
"Oh~, I can't refuse it......, right?"
"Al-kun......."
Alvin, who was
nervous at the Beltz house was clearly not in high spirits, and Milis's glare
made Alvin break out in a cold sweat.
"It's hard. I think it's more practical to
just go talk to her quietly and leave city as soon as possible"
"I knew it......"
Alvin sighed in
dismay.
If Alvin want
to marry Milis, he needs to avoid the noble's daughter.
"Just don't be alone with her, that's
all"
Alvin nodded
silently at Shinji's words.
