Chapter 4 – 16 Underground Auction – Second Day in Capital, noon

 ‘Please wait a sec! I think maybe this will help!’ (Hayato)


After the quarrel between them was over, Hayato called us off in a hurry when we were about to leave.

In the small box that Freed brought, there appeared to be a badge that looked like a crest? Yes, it was.


‘This is my crest, and I believe that if you wear it, you will not get treated roughly’ (Hayato)


So I decided to give it a try and put it around my chest.

After I put it on, Hayato was a little embarrassed, but I was very grateful if it would reduce unnecessary worries.


“Thanks again. I really appreciate everything you've done for me” (Itsuki)

“No, no, no. I really wanted to guide you around too, but I had various things to take care of, and there were some places I wanted to show you. ......” (Hayato)

“Well, that can wait until later. We'll be here at least until the end of the Royal Capital Martial Arts Tournament” (Itsuki)

“Yes! I'm looking forward to it!” (Hayato)

“Yeah. I'm also looking forward to it. Good luck with your work now” (Itsuki)


However, is he nostalgic? Taking care of me?

How can Hayato, a hero, is nostalgic for me like this?

Is that it?

Do Japanese people from the same world feel nostalgic for each other?


This is how I ended up heading into town with Hayato's crest shining on my chest.

Perhaps because of this, just by looking at the exterior of each store I went to, the owner of the store would come outside and greet me.

Although I was only looking from the outside, I felt sorry for them, so I repeatedly went inside the stores to buy something.

I'm glad I kept the spatial magic after all.

I don't want to have to go around the stores with my baggage.

And even now, at a certain store, the owner himself is explaining the products to us.


“What do you think, Master-sama! Our clothes are the latest and greatest in Royal Capital! Of course, we also make custom-made clothing, and your crest, Hayato-sama, is a favorite of ours, so you can place your order with confidence!” (Store Owner)

“Ya, sure” (Itsuki)


To be honest, I didn't know what he was talking about when he said something about the lining or the sleeves.

Wendy, who was standing beside me, was looking at me with a serious gaze, so I left everything to her.

The rest of the girls, with the exception of Shiro, seemed to be looking at the clothes in the store and trying to find something that fit them.

Apparently, this store is a favorite among the girls.

Wendy was also looking at the clothes one after the other.

Although it's men's clothing, .......

I think it's okay to pick out myself once in a while.

But still, custom-made. .......

Should I give a try?

But even if I order something from the original world, I have a feeling that it's going to turn out bland.

Hmm? Oh, that's .......


“As expected of a customer, you are very discerning! This is the outfit that Hayato-sama requested as a custom-made item” (Store Owner)

“This is ...... nah, let's keep it quiet for the honor of Hayato” (Itsuki)

“Do customer know about this!? I had no idea what on earth those clothes were for!” (Store Owner)

“Yeah, sure. I know, but I'm going to keep quiet about it. You shouldn't tell anyone about Hayato's custom-made outfit, either. I'll keep my mouth shut too. Do you understand?” (Itsuki)

“Ya, yes. Did I say something terrible?” (Store Owner)

“No, we neither heard anything or talked to each other. Right?” (Itsuki)

“That how it is! Now how about this outfit? It's perfect for sleeping at night, and best of all, it's ...... easy to take off, just pull here and wonder, it all comes off in pieces. The only downside is that it's complicated to put together, so it's hard to put on afterwards” (Store Owner)

“Sure, it'll be a hassle, but I'll buy one” (Itsuki)

“Thank you very much. Well, I guess I'll just gift this one as a service” (Store Owner)

“Are you sure? I live in Einzhale so I can't come to this store often, you know?” (Itsuki)

“No, no, no. It seems that our customer will be able to buy a lot this time alone” (Store Owner)


When I turned around at the voice of the store owner, there was Wendy, who had finished sorting through a large amount of clothes, and a large pile of clothes that had gone through the selection process.

Aina, Solte, and Renge were also waiting with a few outfits each.


“Alright, Master! It's time for you to get dressed!” (Wendy)

“You're too enthusiastic ....... Wendy, it's okay to pick out your own clothes once in a while, you know?” (Itsuki)

“What are you talking about! Don't take away my fun! As for my clothes, I'll wear whatever Master wants me to wear, as long as you choose!” (Wendy)


I wonder what that would be like.

But the clothes I want Wendy to wear .......

The first thing that came to mind was a bikini with pareo and a straw hat, and I think it is right.

Oh, I want to put sunscreen on Wendy's beautiful backside.

I want to protect that pure white skin from UV rays. ......


I guess there are materials that repel water.

I'll ask Hayato about it when I get back.

I'm sure there must be.

It would be strange if there wasn't.

I can't accept such a different world.


Thus, I became Wendy's dress-up doll for about an hour.

I bought a few outfits and decided to buy all the clothes that Aina, Solte and Renge wanted as well.

Shiro and Wendy didn't need them, so I'll buy them something from another store.


The owner had a big smile on his face, and as we walked out the front door with the four of us, Shiro's stomach growled.


“I guess it's time for a meal” (Aina)

“Yes, that's right. I know it's a little early, but I think it's available this time of day” (Wendy)

“You don't mind if we go to the right place, do you? Let's go to the one right around the corner” (Itsuki0

“Wait, that's a pretty high-end restaurant, you know?” (Solte)

“Hmm. Well, I guess it's okay” (Itsuki)


I've got plenty of money for the auction.

It's not like I want anything from the auction, and Shiro's stomach seems to be at its limit.


“I mean, some of these places don't allow slaves. You seem to have forgotten that we're all your slaves” (Solte)

“Oh, ....... So we'll just go to a regular stall?” (Itsuki)

“That's right. That's it” (Solte)

“Dear customer! We have private rooms, so there's nothing wrong with that!” (Someone from restaurant)


Suddenly, a large man in a chef's hat came out of the store.

He seemed to have been listening to our conversation inside the store.

The effect of Hayato's crest is just too great, isn't it?

No matter where I go, I get preferential treatment.

I felt as if I myself was a VIP, but I couldn't help but notice that everyone was seeing Hayato's vision behind me.

Well, I'm not going to complain about what kind of restaurant it is.


And then we decided to have a meal at this high-class restaurant, but apparently they don't normally allow people to eat with slaves.

However, there are exceptions such as when a private room is available, and this time seemed to be one of those exceptions.


Naturally, being a high class restaurant, the food was delicious, but .......


“Lord’s meal is more delicious” (Shiro)

“I agree. The ingredients are all the same ones we use on a regular basis, and it tastes better if Master makes it” (Wendy)


That's not possible.

My cooking skills are still at the first level.

The person who made this dish is probably at a higher level than one, and the seasoning is exquisite.

As proof of this, both Solte and Renge were smiling throughout the meal, holding their cheeks to eat and savoring their meal with their eyes closed.


“Well, the cost of the meal is 920,000 Nord. ......” (Employee of restaurant)

“Yeah, hold on a second” (Itsuki)


That's quite a bit.

Shiro was complaining and asking for refills as usual, so I guess that's how much it costs. ......

I'm glad I saved up for the auction.

It's a good thing I saved my money for the auction, because the price was well over 10,000 Nord per item.

It was tasty enough for me.

But it's true that the dinner Chris made yesterday was better.


Hmmm.

The food in the royal capital is a little too fine.

There are too many high-spec people around here, so I feel it's too subtle.

I might as well enjoy the atmosphere of the food stalls.

Well, it was a good experience, and I'll use it as a reference for the next time.


“Now that we've eaten, I'd like to check out the tool shop, if you don't mind?” (Itsuki)

“For alchemy?” (Wendy)

“That's right. I was just wondering if there was anything interesting ingredients” (Itsuki)

“Hmm, ...... is quite far from here. Well, since it's so far, why don't we go and see the large fountain?” (Wendy)

“Large fountain?” (Itsuki)

“That's right-tsu! The fountains in the capital are so big! It's a major tourist attraction!” (Range)


Hmmm.

I wonder if it's used as a meeting point for couples.

Meeting in front of the fountain.......

I'm kind of fascinated.


“Well, I guess we'll go that way” (Itsuki)

“Let's go-tsu!” (Renge)


Thus, we decided to head for the fountain in the center of the street, visiting the stores and aiming for the tool shop.

On the way, we didn't do any shopping except for Shiro's purchase of an extra skewer at a skewer store, but I wondered how Shiro's small body could hold that much food.


There is a large fountain in the center.

I knew there were many couples here.


Sitting on the benches, cuddling each other, everyone seems to be immersed in their own world.


If I was in the original world, I would have told them to explode, but not now.

As I had declared before, I have Wendy on my arm, and on top of that, I have four other beautiful women (three beautiful and one cute).

I'm sure that now the single passers-by are thinking, "Explode!”

But still, .......


“One of the statues in the fountain looks like Wendy, doesn't it?” (Itsuki)

“Oh, really? I don't think I'm that beautiful. ......” (Wendy)


No, the statue with the largest chest of the six definitely resembled Wendy.


“That statue is the statue of the Great Fairy. They say she's disappeared for now, but she's still out there somewhere, living in secret” (Wendy)

“Great fairy?” (Itsuki)

“Ah, from right to left, the Great Fairy of Light, Darkness, Wind, Earth, and Water, and Fire” (Wendy)


Therefore, it is the Great Water Fairy that resembles Wendy.

No way, huh?


“...... Lord, Wendy said she would tell you herself later. So wait until then” (Shiro)

“You're right. It's okay when Wendy is ready to talk” (Itsuki)

“Yes, ....... Thank you, Master” (Wendy)


I don't have a problem with Wendy being the Great Fairy.

I'm not going to let go of her even if it means the world is going to be destroyed because of it.

I would seriously think that the world without Wendy should be destroyed.

If it's a world built on sacrificing the people I care about, then I'll destroy it.

I don't know if I can actually do it, but that's what I'm willing to do.


“Well then, we'd better get going. All those single person eyes around us are starting to scare me” (Itsuki)


I could hear you cursing in the background.

I know how you feel, but please don't.
