Chapter 1567 - Archlesia Empire Founding Festival ⑦
Chapter 1567 – Archlesia Empire Founding Festival ⑦
I had set up a stall at Archlesia Empire’s Founding Festival with Amel-san, but things had taken a rather strange turn right from the start. No, things were actually going well at first. We set up our stall like normal, the first customer came in, and the teacup set made by Nebula was sold. It was a favorable start……
But then, Fate-san suddenly appeared…… and then, shortly after, Chronois-san came after. I can immediately guess the situation just by listening to the exchange between the two of them. In short, Fate-san disappeared as soon as they arrived at the castle and came here, and Chronois-san must have chased after her. Chris-san must be holding her head in her hands right now.
However, what is more important right now is to rescue the customer who is sandwiched between Fate-san and Chronois-san, looking like she was about to die. When two Supreme Gods suddenly appeared and started arguing with each other with you in between, of course, you would be surprised.

[Please calm down, both of you. You’re troubling the customer over there……]
[Fue? Ah, you’re right…… Well, sorry, sorry. Right now, I’m manipulating fate so that people around won’t pay attention to this stall, but the children who were here from the beginning are out of the scope. I was so surprised by God of Time and Space’s appearance that I didn’t notice her.]
[Mhmm? Sorry, I also had blood rushing up my head…… I’m sorry for startling you.]
[Ah, n- n- no! I- I- I’m n- not concerned about it at all!]
When I called out to them, Fate-san and Chronois-san seemed to notice the customer immediately, and apologized to the customer with embarrassed expressions on their faces.
Well, the customer, who was apologized to by Supreme Gods, instead looked embarrassed though, having quite the outrageous look on her face……
[Please excuse them for startling you. Are you alright?]
[Y- Yes! T- T- There’s completely no problem! I- I- I should be the one apologizing for the inconvenience instead, not leaving quickly even though I had finished my shopping……]
The emotion conveyed by my Sympathy Magic strongly expressed a sense of guilt, so it seemed she thought she had caused this mayhem by not leaving the storefront quickly enough.
No, well, I guess that’s what would happen when two Supreme Gods suddenly appear huh…… At any rate, we’ve caused her trouble, so I’d like to give her something as an apology…… Is there something I can give her? Ahh, come to think of it……
[Please accept this as an apology for startling you. It’s just something like a good luck charm, so if you don’t mind……]
[Ah, t- that is…… I apologize for causing you worry. However, I suppose it would also be rude not to accept it…… Well then, please allow me to gratefully accept it.]
[Yes. Thank you for your purchase today.]
What I had given her as an apology was an accessory made from Magnawell-san’s scales…… or rather, a prototype. When I asked Alice to process them back then, she proposed several designs to me, but I had one that wasn’t officially adopted, so I gave it to her as an apology.
Hearing that it was a rejected design may sound bad, but it actually uses more scales and had more gorgeous decorations than the official ones, but the unit price would likely go up because of it, so the design was rejected and we officially adopted a simpler design, so it definitely looks good.
The customer looked apologetic for having to receive an apology gift, but after accepting the accessory, she repeatedly bowed before leaving. She really praised the teacups that Nebula had made, so I think she’s a good customer.
[……Errr, so, once again, I kind of understand the situation…… What are the two of you here for?]
[I came to hang out in Kai-chan’s shop~~]
[Well, I’m sure you can already tell, but this fool disappeared during our conversation with Emperor Archlesia, so I pursued her here.]
Unnn. Well, it really was as I expected. I can already clearly tell the situation at hand. I can see the scene of Fate-san sneaking away, Life-san sleeping, and Chronois-san exchanging a few words with an astounded Chris-san.
[In any case, we’re going back, God of Fate.]
[Hold on a moment there, God of Time and Space. We’ve come all this way to Kai-chan’s shop, you know? Going home without checking out his stuff would be rude to Kai-chan, and wouldn’t that also be rude to Shallow Vernal-sama?]
[Mnghh…… Guhh…… No, indeed. No matter what the circumstances may be, if one visits a store, it would certainly be rude to leave without doing anything huh?]
Because Chronois-san is too serious, I feel like she kinda got tricked. No, well, it won’t take much time to buy an item and then go home, so I guess it would be alright if they just buy something?
[And so, Kai-chan! You got anything to eat or drink here?]
[……I guess orders like that would appear when you see a storefront like this. I do have a drink made from the Fruit of the World Tree here……]
[Ahh, then, gimme some of that!]
[……Should I throw a tsukkomi or pretend I didn’t hear that……]
It isn’t that we’re selling them at our stall, but I do have a lot of them in my magic box, so I take out a drink made from the Fruit of the World Tree. To put it simply, Fate-san just wants to do the act of shopping at my store, so any product would be fine.
For the time being, let’s have her choose which one she’d like: a drink made from a normal Fruit of the World Tree or a drink made from the Fruit of Nebula’s World Tree.
<Afterword>
Serious-senpai : [By giving away a one-of-a-kind accessory made from the scales of the Dragon King, he raised a stomachache flag to the mob lady, and by selling a drink made from the Fruit of the World Tree, he raised a stomachache flag to Chris…… Is he the Stomachache Demon or what?]
