Chapter 439 - Acc.u.mulating Memories

Having learned from my first mistake, I decided to refer to Alices guidebook from then on.

The stores not listed in this guidebook shouldnt be under the control of the Six Kings, as they had joined later. There are some stores that arent under the control of the Six Kings that were prepared by applying in advance, but the description written in the guidebook also stated if that was the case.

And then, I guess its really to be expected from the subordinates of the Six Kings Its also the same case for the Peerage-holders, but they werent running away, even when they were standing before Isis-san. Well, though I say that, they werent able to completely endure being exposed to Isis-sans magic power of death if they didnt have the strength that is nearly on par with her, so most of them had shaking legs and pale faces.

But still, the subordinates of the Six Kings didnt run away. If they had ran away, it would be an act equivalent to ruining the reputation of their master, the Six Kings, so they held unto their willpower and served us, their customers.

The tremblings of the Baron-ranks and the Viscount-ranks were quiet loud, but the Count-ranks were able to somewhat endure it with just their faces turning pale, which showed just how strong their abilities were. It seems like Ozma-san was able to converse with us with his usual wry smile on his face, so I guess the Count-ranks were on another level compared to the Baron-ranks.

[What an interesting ornament. You joined feathers together to make this?]

[This is an ornament of the Winged that lives in the Eastern part of the Demon Realm which they used in their prayers.]

[I see.]

As one would expect from a huge flea market, there were all sorts of unusual items on display. Thanks to the knowledgeable Isis-san, who I was going around with, I was able to get explanations about things I didnt know, which was something I very much appreciated.

[This Winged you mentioned, are they different from the Harpies?]

[Unnn Harpies are Humans The Winged are Demons They resemble each other but theyre a little different.]

[Fumu.]

Speaking of which, Ive heard of the Harpies before, but Ive never seen one before. I had vaguely imagined that the Harpies had wings instead of arms, while the Winged had wings growing out of their backs. Id really like to meet them if I had the opportunity.

With such things in mind, I was looking around the stalls with Isis-san when an accessory suddenly caught my eyes.

[Arehh? The decoration on this brooch, its that flower that Isis-san gave me before, right?]

[Unnn Blue Crystal Flower Its a flower that doesnt wither at all so its popularly used as an ornament.]

The stall that caught my eyes had a variety of accessories on display, one of which was the flower I received when I first met Isis-san.

The price was one gold coin!? In other words, one of these was a million yen!?

[Its an incredibly expensive item, isnt it?]

[No Blue Crystal Flowers arent that rare I think this price is probably because the maker is popular.]

[Ahh, so thats why its expensive. Errr Florence Is that the makers name?]

[Unnn Shes very popular but shes. quite whimsical so she hardly makes accessories.]

According to Isis-san, it was a rare and precious work that really didnt come around very often, so we may have been lucky to have found it here.

[Incidentally Florence is Shalltear.]

[Huh?]

I think I just heard a name that sounds very familiar Eh? No way, this accessory was made by Alice? And this was very popular?

W- Well, Alice certainly is skilled in making things so I can see Alice making accessories like this. I mean, how many pseudonyms does that woman have?

A bit stunned by the shocking revelation from Isis-san, I pulled myself together and called out to the owner of the stall.

[Excuse me, Id like to buy this brooch.]

[Y- Yes! Thank you very much!]

The shopkeeper, somewhat intimidated by Isis-san, accepted the gold coin from me and handed me the brooch.

As if she was surprised that I had purchased that brooch, Isis-san tilted her head with a curious expression on her face.

[Kaito? What are you going to do with it?]

[Ahh, you see, this flower is a reminder of the first time I met Isis-san so I couldnt help but buy it. And thus, Isis-san. Here you go.]

[Eh?]

[I thought it would suit Isis-san well so I bought it as a present.]

Holding the hand of the surprised Isis-san, I handed her the brooch I had purchased.

As its name suggested, this blue crystal-like flower would surely suit Isis-san well.

[Are you fine with it?]

[Of course!]

[Thank you!]

When Isis-san received the brooch from me, she clasped it in both of her hands as if it were very important to her. How should I say this Every single gesture she makes is just so adorable.

After holding it for a while, Isis-san pinned the brooch on her chest.

Perhaps, it was because Isis-san was wearing a gothic dress with more white than usual today, but the blue brooch looked great on her.

[As I thought, it really looks great on you.]

[Thank you Kaito Im happy.]

[Im glad to hear that youre happy with it, Isis-san.]

[Unnn I have more wonderful memories together with Kaito.]

The smile on Isis-sans face, as if she were truly happy, seemed to overshadow the blooming Blue Crystal Flower on her chest Looking beautiful, s.n.a.t.c.hing my eyes away.

Dear Mom, Dad- Gathering lots of memories together with me. As the two of us went around the festival, giving gifts like this, and looking at Isis-sans beautiful smile, the words Isis-san said back then came to my mind. Even in the future, we will continue to experience moments of happiness like this- Acc.u.mulating memories.

Serious-senpai: [Kofuuu Hyuuu Hyuuu.]
