Tre-san and I left the house and headed out into the city. However, since Cento-san and Cien-san will join us 15 minutes later, we won’t go too far.
[For the time being, should we go somewhere nearby? Tre-san, any places you’d like to visit?]
[I feel like eating something sweet. Maybe some ice cream~~]
[Hmmm. This area has many high-end shops, so if we walk a bit and reach the main street, we might find a shop serving some……]
[Alright, let’s head out towards there~~]Heading towards the main street would be perfect since it’s suitable for hanging out after meeting up with Cento-san and Cien-san. When Tre-san mentioned something, I think she’s referring to those that can be enjoyed while walking like crepes or ice cream, but if we don’t find any, we can always go to a café.
As expected, having lived in Symphonia Kingdom’s Royal Capital for quite some time myself, I already know quite a few shops on the main street, so I think I can guide them.
[Speaking of which, wasn’t it here in the Royal Capital where Kaito had your first date with Kuromu-sama?]
[Yes, you remember it well huh.]
[Kuromu-sama seemed so happy talking about it after all~~]
[Ahaha, I see…… I mean, in the first place, I hadn’t gone anywhere outside Symphonia Kingdom’s Royal Capital at that time yet. It was still early days since I came to this world……]
Thinking back upon Tre-san mentioning my date with Kuro, how should I say this…… I’m feeling somewhat nostalgic. Back then, I think we also wandered around, passing through an area lined with many street stalls, starting from the main street……[You just came to a completely unknown world after all. That must have been tough…… However, finding everything around you to be new must have been exciting too!]
[That’s certainly true. Especially since there was no magic in the world I came from, I was overwhelmed with this world’s magical culture.]
[I did hear something about that, but I can’t really imagine a culture without magic. Also, remember that——– What’s it called again? VR? Those mechanical products I saw in those were amazing. It made me realize how different worlds have different cultures.]
[That was a bit unique, but indeed, there are also many things in this world that are unusual to the people from our world. I can’t really say which one’s more convenient over the other but……]
Magic tools and magic are incredibly convenient, often surpassing the performance of mechanical items. However, just as Alice mentioned before, it’s not about one being superior to the other; both magic and technology have aspects they excel in.
For example, there are no computers or smartphones in this world, and magic tools usually have one function per item, and those few with multiple functions are expensive.
It’s interesting to think about differences like this.
[Heehhh~~ That sounds interesting. Hey, hey, since we’ve got some time while walking, tell me about your previous world, Kaito.]
[Sure. Where should I start……]
Casually strolling down the street, Tre-san and I engage in lighthearted conversation. Tre-san is a good listener and reacts enthusiastically to each of my stories, making the conversation enjoyable.
As we continued our conversation and moved along, nearing the main street after passing through the upscale shopping area, Cento-san and Cien-san appeared.
[Oh, Cento and Cien. You managed to meet up with us.]
[Yes, we were able to locate Tre-san quite easily. With this, we can feel reassured in the future.]
[Where are you two heading, Esteemed Sister Tre, Kaito-san?]
[We were planning to go to the main street to get something sweet. If there’s an ice cream or crepe stand, we’ll eat there; otherwise, we’ll probably go to a café……]
Thanks to the accessory that Shiro-san provided, it seems they were able to locate Tre-san successfully this time, and with Cento-san and Cien-san joining, we’re now a group of four.
[Come to think of it, Cien, weren’t you not very fond of sweets?]
[No, it’s just that I’m not a big fan of whipped cream. As long as it’s not overly sweet, I’m fine with it.]
[I see. What about you, Cento?]
[Ahh…… I’m actually quite fond of sweets.]
We continued our lively conversation as we moved along. While chatting with just Tre-san was enjoyable, being lively with all four of us like this adds to the fun.
<Afterword>
Serious-senpai : [I’ll allow okazu crepes. I won’t allow regular ones.]
(T/N: Okazu crepes, unlike the traditional sweet crepes filled with fruits and whipped cream, are savory and filled with various ingredients such as meat, often seasoned with savory sauces, vegetables, mayo and other such toppings.)
? ? ? : [Is it because they’re sweet? Personally though, I find some crepes such as tuna-mayo crepe as just heresy. Well, they’re still delicious though. It’s just, as expected, sweet crepes are great.]
