Chapter 449 - They Looked Exactly Alike

While I was astounded by Alices appearance just about everywhere, I continued to look around the festival with Isis-san.

We enjoyed a leisurely date, we played ring toss (ring target) together and checked out a store that sold secondhand books.

[Hehh They were selling clothes here huh. Does this mean these are secondhand?]

[No Theyre probably new This street attracts a lot of amateur designers.]

[I see, so thats why there are a lot of clothes with designs Ive never seen before.]

This street was apparently filled with amateur designers who were trying to make a name for themselves. I guess its understandable why. The guests invited to the Six Kings Festival were all people who gained a certain level of recognition from the Six Kings So, many of them should have high social status and financial power.

Not only would this be a good way to make connections, but many of the people with that amount of money and status would also like unusual things. Thats why this street was a good place for new designers.

And thus, it was inevitable that the products here took a lot of effort to make, especially the clothes that were used only for one party, such as luxurious suits and dresses.

[Speaking of which, youre quite fas.h.i.+onable, arent you, Isis-san?]

[Really?]

Isis-san liked to wear gothic-styled clothing with lots of frills, but I think that what she wears still has quite the variety.

The dresses that Ive most commonly seen her wear were her light blue and blue-colored ones, but I also remember seeing her wear other gothic dresses in several other colors.

Not only were the colors different, but the designs were different as well. This gave me the impression that she was very particular about her clothes.

[Yes, you wear a lot of pretty clothes Do you have a favorite clothing store you go to, Isis-san?]

[No I dont buy them Just like Kuromueina my clothes are made with magic power.]

[Just like Kuros clothes? Are you talking about her long coat that can change at will?]

[Unnn Materializing it with magic power Also lets me freely change the color and appearance so its convenient.]

I see, just like how Kuros interesting long coat could turn into wings and tatami mats, Isis-san was materializing her magic power and turning them into her clothes

That would certainly let her change its appearance as much as she wanted, and the fact that it was a ma.s.s of magic power made it excellent in terms of defense and mobility.

I heard from Kuro before that it was quite difficult to materialize magic power though. Unnn, well, lets just obediently buy our clothes from Alice.

[Just like this.]

[O- Ohh!?]

As Isis-san said this, she showed me how she changed the color of her dress from blue to white and added more frills to it.

Hmmm. White colors also look great on Isis-san huh Dressed in a white frilly dress, she unmistakably looked like an angel.

[Kaito.. What color of clothing do you think would look good on me?]

[Hmmm. I personally like wearing black clothes but I think a fleeting light blue, or rather, I feel like clothes with lighter shades of color would look good on Isis-san.]

Somehow, I felt that snow-like clothes would suit her. When she wore a fleeting light blue dress, she looked very lovely, just like a really cute snow fairy.

[This color?]

[Yes, it looks good on you Errr, you look really lovely.]

[Thank you Kaito telling me that makes me really happy.]

When I sent her generous words of praise, Isis-san gave me a beaming smile.

Seeing her pure, adorable smile, I suddenly felt embarra.s.sed and hurriedly turned my gaze away.

[Ah, Isis-san. Theres an ice cream stand over there! How about we take a break for the moment and have some ice cream?]

[Unnn.]

[W- Well then, Ill go get us some. What flavor do you want, Isis-san?]

[Then I will have chocolate.]

[Alright. Please wait for a bit, okay!?]

Even though I had somehow forced the conversation, I headed for an ice cream stall a short distance away.

The food stall I arrived at seemed to have reasonably excellent options, and they had the chocolate flavor that Isis-san had requested.

Personally, I thought matcha was the best ice cream flavor but Unfortunately, they didnt seem to be selling matcha flavor, so I decided to buy strawberry ice cream instead.

(T/N: Matcha flavor is the green tea flavor you could find in boba tea shops.)

However, after I gave my order and was about to pay the bill I realized a very important fact.

Ah, sh*t. While we were looking around before coming here, I had used up all the silver coins I had, along with the coins of lesser value. All I had now were gold coins and white gold coins.

I didnt really think it was a good idea to pay with a gold coin just for two ice creams that cost 1R each Thats already on the level of hara.s.sment.

However, Isis-san also didnt have any coins smaller than white gold coins. That means I guess it cant be helped. Its my fault for not keeping some change in stock, Ill just pay with a gold coin and say that she can keep the change.

I think its a waste of money but To be honest, Ive always wanted to try saying it

[Yes, youve paid the exact amount. Thank you for your patronage.]

[Eh? Arehh?]

As if to interrupt my thoughts of paying with a gold coin, I heard the shopkeepers voice. When I turned to her I saw the shopkeeper with her head tilted, handing me two scoops of ice cream.

[U- Ummm, I havent paid you yet, remember?]

[Eh? But it was paid for by your companion over there though?]

[Eh? Companion Wha!?]

I didnt think that Isis-san had a 1R coin, but when she said companion, I reflexively moved my gaze and my thoughts completely stopped.

In the direction where I looked, she was there, standing next to me before I knew it was a pet.i.te woman with light brown semi-long hair. She looked at me for a moment, gave me a quick wink, and turned away without saying a single word.

From the moment I saw her, I was so shaken that I couldnt feel my voice coming out of my throat. My mind went blank, my heart was beating frighteningly fast, and I could feel sweat dripping all over my body As if I was petrified, my body didnt move an inch.

Thats impossible It cant be after all Eh? No, why

[Mom?]

When I could finally feel my voice coming out of my mouth The woman had already disappeared into the crowd.

Dear Mom, Dad I knew that who I met was another person. Ive heard from someone that there are at least three people in the world who look like me. But even though I knew this, I couldnt help but feel shaken for the woman I just saw looked exactly like my mother.

Serious-senpai MK-II: [What!?]
