Chapter 441 - Something Filled with Love

After the zealot was safely fetched by her guardian, Isis-san and I turned our attention back to the stage where the auction was taking place.

It seemed that not only the Six Kings, but even n.o.bles of various countries were auctioning their items, making the auction feel grander.

Now then, the next item is or rather, next items are something provided by Phantasmal King-sama. These are the said items They are items that not only the n.o.bles, but even adventurers and knights shouldnt miss. Yes, They are weapons made by the legendary blacksmith Krafty!!!

[Unnn?]

As the host introduced the item, a number of weapons were laid out on the stage. There were swords, spears, axes, daggers, and unusual weapons like morning stars.

Even from a distance and from the eyes of a layman, I could tell that every weapon lined up on the stage was top-notch but.. there was one thing that bothered me more.

[Kaito? Do you want that?]

[Ah, no, thats not it Its just that theres something bothering me]

While ambiguously answering Isis-sans question, I took out my magic box. If I remembered correctly, I should have bought a pair of binoculars from when I partic.i.p.ated in the Sacred Tree Festival Found it!

To be honest, I cant clearly see it at this distance, so I just needed an item that allowed me to see farther to confirm my doubts.

Starting with the first weapon, this sword here is the Royal Sword Arondight, this axe is the Moon Axe They are all legendary items that any weapon user would love to have! Whats surprising is that 10 of these weapons have made it to this auction!!! For this many weapons built by Krafty, she whose name only remained in legends, to gather in this place I guess we could only say that its to be expected from Phantasmal King-sama.

The host introduced the weapons, one after another, but I ignored her words and looked into my binoculars.

Thanks to the binoculars, I could see the weapons more clearly, and all of them certainly seemed to have a kind of aura about them, as if they were all legendary items.

.Well, lets just put that aside Unnn. I was convinced when I took a closer look at them. As I thought, those weapons

[Alice, are you there?]

[Yes, yes, what is it?]

[If Im not mistaken, Ive seen those weapons before To be more specific, Ive seen them in a miscellaneous goods store somewhere So that means, this legendary blacksmith Krafty is]

[Ahh, yes. Its Alice-chan~~!]

As I thought, it really was you! Or rather, theyre being flamboyantly introduced, but why the heck do I think youre just trying to get rid of your stockpile

[No, no, the weapons that Alice-chan made are extremely popular, you know!? Many of them were even called Demonic Swords or Holy Swords, you know!?]

[Im well aware of your uselessly high specs but Isnt it you who called them Demonic Sword or stuff like that?]

[Errr, to be honest, they were just weapons I made in my spare time and sold at a reasonable price to make some extra money but somehow, before I knew it, they were being called legendary weapons. Incidentally, the name I gave to the one they called the Royal Sword Arondight is 48th Random Swordie-chan.]

What a terrible name that is. But in reality, Alice most probably just randomly made it to pa.s.s time. Even so, her skill is just too great and since she had the ability to prepare extraordinary raw materials to make her items, the things she made turned out great.

As I was once again feeling how high Alices specs were and how terrible her naming sense was, the auction moved on before I knew it.

Royal Sword Arondight, won by partic.i.p.ant number 88 for 9 white gold coins!

[Hey, Alice?]

[What is it?]

[How much would that sword be if one bought it from your miscellaneous goods store?]

[Six silver coins.]

[]

An item that normally sold for 60,000 yen got sold for 90 million yen H- Hmmm. Alices miscellaneous goods store is actually a legendary treasure trove after all If only the shopkeeper was decent, it would have been a very popular store.

Even with such a large selection of goods, Alices stupidity was so great that it kept the customers away.

[Shalltear really can do lots of things huh.]

[Yes, well, Im kind of proud of how many things I can do Well, I havent done nearly as much blacksmithing lately.]

[Why?]

[Kaito-san isnt buying weapons after all]

Like I said, stop trying to pinpoint me as your target. I mean, youre not even trying to hide it anymore That miscellaneous goods store is totally stocked with things exclusively targeted at me

No, seriously, I dont know why, but Alice is so good at doing business if its targeted at me

[Kaito-san, Ive recently been thinking of adding high quality pet food as a new product, but what do you think?]

[Prepare about a hundred bags for me.]

[Yes, sir~~!]

Vexing as it may be, Id buy it. I mean, her choice of new products was too precise. I was just thinking about upgrading the food I fed to Bell and Lynn lately. I want to feed my two bundles of cuteness with good food, and Im sure that the pet food Alice made would be amazing.

[Shalltear Are you also good at sewing?]

[Ehh? Yes, Im pretty good at it?]

[Then Id like it if you could teach me next time.]

[I dont really mind, but what are you going to make?]

[I want to knit a scarf for Kaito.]

And then, theres this Archangel. Isis-san really was a wonderful lady. Receiving a hand-knitted scarf from her would obviously make me happy.

As the Light month ended, the season would be approaching autumn, so the timing would be perfect.

Moved by Isis-sans affection, I whispered to Alice, who had finished her conversation with Isis-san and was about to disappear back to somewhere.

[Alice Teach me too.]

[My darling lover, are you also knitting for the cute Alice-chan?]

[Of course, I will be knitting for you too.]

[Alrighty~~. As usual, it will be a surprise for Isis-san, right?]

Immediately sensing that I wanted to prepare a surprise for Isis-san, Alice smiled and nodded, before she disappeared.

Dear Mom, Dad- Receiving a hand-knitted scarf from your girlfriend, that was a situation one would definitely yearn for. In fact, I was really looking forward to it. But of course, I dont want to keep being the one getting gifts. I also want to make something that wont be inferior to Isis-san Something filled with my love.

Serious-senpai: [The ones made with machines are way better, you know!!!? The commercially-sold scarfs should be good enough I mean, no matter what kind of scarf it is, youre going to kill me with sweet words like even my heart feels warm or something like that, right!? Its Valentines day all over again, isnt it!? Its Valentines Day all over again!!!]
