Chapter 447 - I Think We Need to Have a Good Talk About This
After self-destructing after being exposed to a shame play that I, myself initiated, I immediately ran away.
I thought about going as far away as possible from places with people…… before we finally took a break in a plaza-like area.
[……Haahhh…… I’m sorry, Isis-san. Suddenly carrying you like that……]
[……No…… Kaito…… Am I not heavy?][No, you’re surprisingly light.]
I apologized to Isis-san for reflexively taking her away in a princess carry, but she not only didn’t blame me, but was actually worried about me.
Nevertheless, Isis-san’s body really was really light…… She was so light that even I, a weak person, could run while carrying her in a princess carry. No, it’s not that I’m just saying that just because I heard that girls didn’t like being called heavy, but she really was light.
No, I mean…… I have a feeling that Isis-san weighs only about 30kg. She also said that she basically doesn’t eat, so her body structure may be a bit different from human.
Anyway, I guess we should be alright here now. Thinking about how I should stay away from the area we were in earlier, I tried to put Isis-san down, but for some reason, her hands held onto back of my neck.
[……Kaito…… Could we…… stay like this…… for just a bit longer?]
[……Y- Yes.][……Thank you…… Kaito…… I love you.]
Isis-san looked murderously cute, putting her face against my neck, acting like a spoiled princess in my arms.
I held Isis-san like a princess for a while, when she was satisfied, I slowly set her down.
[……W- Well then, how about we walk around this area? It doesn’t seem like there are that many, but there seem to be some stalls over there.]
[……Unnn.]
Feeling strangely embarrassed, especially after the earlier incident, I held Isis-san’s hand and headed for a stall a few distance away.
The area was off the main street and not very crowded, but there are still a few stores around.
As I walked past one of the stores, which sold small accessories, I was unexpectedly called out.
[Oya, what a lovely couple you two are! Come now, I have just the perfect item fo———- Fugyaaaahhh!?]
I slammed my fist into the face of the “stuffed costume” who called out to me.
[W- Wait, Kaito-san!? That’s not just knocking on my head anymore, that’s a full-on punch, you know!? Haven’t you been treating me too harshly lately!? Alice-chan is your cute lover, you know!?]
[……No, rather than that, what are you doing here? Aren’t you supposed to be repairing that area you and Megiddo-san were fighting in?]
[No, no, that one is main body Alice-chan’s responsibility. It doesn’t have anything to do with me, “Stall Merchant Alice-chan 86”.]
[I- I see……]
After hearing the idiot in a stuffed cow costume…… Alice’s clone’s words, I was dumbfounded, but I nodded anyway.
Thinking about it, how could that Alice miss out on a business opportunity like this…… I wouldn’t be surprised if she had prepared one or two clones to prepare their own stalls.
But I’m kind of bothered with that 86 attached to her name though. Does that mean there are more than eighty of them scattered all over the city? T- There’s no way that’s the case, right……
[……Shalltear…… The thing that’s perfect for us…… What is it?]
[Fufufu, it’s these!]
[……What…… are these?]
[These are ancient items from another world.]
In a solemn tone, what Alice took out…… were lucky charms that were sold in shrines. No, well, that was certainly culture from another world…… But I don’t think the Gods that were supposed to be associated with those amulets are in this world, you know? So, wouldn’t those amulets have no benefit at all?
(T/N: Omamori/Lucky Charm)
[Don’t be surprised, okay? You see, just by holding one of these…… “You would become super lovey-dovey with your lover”!]
……It says “Prosperous Business” on it though?
[Wha!? …… I- I’ll buy it!]
[……Isis-san.]
[Also, also, if you buy this crystal ball too, the effect of this lucky charm “triples”!]
[……I- I’ll…… take that too!]
[Thank you for your patronage~~ Well then, I’ll calculate the price……]
Where exactly are you basing the triple stuff you’re talking about off of? No, well, that’s fine and all but……
[……Alice. Do you mind if I say something?]
[……Eh?]
[If you cheat the innocent Isis-san into making an expensive purchase…… “I’m not going to talk to you for a while”……]
[……N- No way~~ Isis-san! It’s just a joke! Isis-san and Kaito-san don’t need something like this!!! You’ve always been lovey-dovey, even without toys like this!!! There’s nothing for you to worry about!!!]
[……Eh? ……But……]
When Alice heard my words, she looked so flustered that it could be clearly seen even with her stuffed costume, and she smashed the crystal she was holding.
[I just remembered something! These aren’t actually my items!!! That’s why I can’t sell them to you! I am never selling them!!!]
[……Kaito…… Super lovey-dovey……]
[That reminds me! I actually have a “1/5 size plushie of Kaito-san” that I made recently!]
I thought I just heard the name of an item that I can’t overlook, but before I could say anything else, a mountain of white gold coins appeared in front of the store.
[I’ll buy it! I’ll take your entire stock!!!]
[……N- No, this is still a trial product, so I’ve only made one…… Also, the price is 300R, so please put those white gold coins away.]
[……Uuuu……. Then….. I’ll buy that one.]
[Yes, yes, here you go~~]
[……Thank you…… You can…… keep the change.]
Isis-san vigorously tried to buy up Alice’s entire stock, but when she heard that there was only one of that item, she took it and gave one white gold coin to Alice.
She just bought a 30,000 yen product for 10 million yen…… This is just a guess, Isis-san, but do you not have coins other than white gold coins?
N- No, that’s not important at this point. The problem was that plushie that looked like a deformed me.
It was already impossible for me to take it away from Isis-san, who was happily hugging it in her embrace, so all I can do now is have a little talk with the root of all evil.
[……Alice…… Let’s have a talk later.]
[……Eh?]
[You should also come prepared to sit on a seiza.]
[…………Eh?]
Dear Mom, Dad———– How should I say this…… When Alice appeared in the scenario, things instantly became noisy. Well, I guess Alice’s stupidity was part of her charm, but as for the fact that she’s making plushies and life-sized dolls that looked like me———– I think we need to have a good talk about this.
