Chapter 1490 Seeking The Possibilities of Baby Castellas ?
This chapter is updated by wuxiaworld.eu
We are now going to Rigforeshia to purchase the leaves of the Spirit Tree and to meet Rei-san and Fia-san if itās possible. This would be the first time I went back to Rigforeshia for quite a while, the last time being when Sieg-san returned home.
[ā¦ā¦Kuro, I have a favor.]
[Unnn?]
[Cast Recognition Inhibition Magic on me.]
[ā¦ā¦Why?]
[Itās just, Iām kinda strangely famous here in Rigforeshiaā¦ā¦]
[A- Ahh~~ Now that you mentioned it, I think I heard something like thatā¦ā¦ Unnn. Alright.]
When I came to Rigforeshia before, a lot of people called out to me before I made it to Rei-san and Fia-sanās house. Itās a fact that I donāt want to admit and just want to turn a blind eye to, but unfortunately, I canāt deny that Iām famous here in Rigforeshia.
And so, this is where Kuroās Recognition Inhibition Magic comes in. I have Shiro-sanās Blessing, which cancels the usual Recognition Inhibition magic, but Kuro can cast it on me without any problem.
If I didnāt mind the trouble it would cause, I could have asked Shiro-san to do this, but since Iām here together with Kuro, it would be quicker to have her do it for me.
[Here you go. Well then, youāre all set~~]
[Thanks. Then, letās goā¦ā¦ Shall we start with shopping first?]
[I guess so. Letās buy some fruits and other stuff.]
[ā¦ā¦Speaking of which, are the leaves of the Spirit Tree even commercially available?]
[Itās an ingredient for medicine, so we can find them in stores that sell medicinal herbs. Theyād be in a different store than foodā¦ā¦ Well, Rigforeshia itself isnāt that big, so we didnāt have to move here and there since the shops and other related establishments are somewhat gathered.]
[I seeā¦ā¦]
When we entered Rigforeshia while having such a conversation, the attention level from the surrounding people was clearly different from when I came here before. The effect of Recognition Inhibition Magic is great. Well, outside of Rigforeshia, itās not like my face is known that much, so I donāt need Recognition Inhibition Magic that much.
ā¦ā¦I mean, why is my face so well-known in Rigforeshia? Yes, I did have that achievement in the Sacred Tree Festival, but how is it that they still remember the face of someone theyāve only seen once? Ahh, maybe my face had been illustrated in a book or something, which made the people here remember me.
[Ahh, look, look, Kaito-kun. Thereās a big picture of Kaito-kun over there.]
[Unnn? ā¦ā¦Huh? Whatās that?]
Looking at the direction Kuroās pointing at, I saw a life-sized signboard of me in front of what looked like a bookstore. There was also a sign nearby that read ālatest book on saleā.
A- Ahh, so thatās the culpritā¦ā¦ a new book about me has recently come out and they have a life-sized signboard to advertise itā¦ā¦ N- No, well, itās true that when I received the letter from the author asking for my authorization, I responded with āYouāre free to do as you please, including matters like advertisingā, but I never thought it would turn out like thisā¦ā¦ Moreover, I feel like that Kaito in the signboard is drawn much more handsome than the real thing.
What is with this bizarre embarrassmentā¦ā¦
[ā¦ā¦Ahh, come to think of it, there was a book about Kaito-kun, right? I heard itās a popular series.]
[Seems soā¦ā¦ Itās just, well, when I think about it, their story just keeps going. With all the books they released, I doubt theyād just be talking about what happened in the Sacred Tree Festival.]
[Yeah, thatās because Shalltear provides them with material for Kaito-kunās story.]
[ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦Say what?]
Thinking about it again, theyād certainly need to get my story from somewhere in order to keep writing books about me. I thought they heard about them from Isis-san, but when I seriously think about this, in the first place, it is impossible for a normal person to have a conversation with Isis-san.
For a moment, I almost felt anger welling up in meā¦ā¦ but I quickly stopped that thought. Itās true that Alice likes her pranks, but I donāt think she would do anything that would harm me or anything that I would seriously dislike.
Maybe thereās actually some reason behind it, and when I trace it back, Iād find out that itās for my sake. In that case, what I can think ofā¦ā¦
[ā¦ā¦Could this be for my sake?]
[Iām pretty sure it is. That book series is very popular, right? If so, the author would need to get Kaito-kunās story in order to publish their next volume, but if they simply got their information from things they caught wind of, youāll probably end up with exaggerated stories and eye-popping gossip, just like how the stories were like back here in Rigforeshia.]
[Ahh, I seeā¦ā¦ To avoid having the stories written about me heading in a strange way, sheās adjusting the information being circulated right from the start so that people wonāt make strange misunderstandings about me.]
[I havenāt heard why from the person herself, but I think that is the case. Shalltear is very devoted to Kaito-kun after all.]
As I thought, Alice was acting behind the scenes, controlling the information provided so that it wouldnāt turn out like the first bookā¦ā¦ where I had apparently annihilated the Black Bears myself.
That certainly is just like Aliceā¦ā¦ Most of all, I feel that the way she secretly does things without telling me is the most Alice-like.
[Alice, thanks.]
[ā¦ā¦N- No, I actually just want to make a little extra moneyā¦ā¦]
[With how embarrassed sheās saying that, she probably didnāt get any money from them.]
[Kuro-san, can you please stop saying unnecessary things?]
When I thanked Alice, who should be behind me, I could only hear her slightly embarrassed voice answering me. Thereupon, Kuro launched her tsukkomi, seemingly as a counterattack from earlier.
How should I say thisā¦ā¦ I could feel Aliceās kindness once again, and thinking about how sheās probably supporting me in various ways, even though I canāt notice them, makes my heart feel warm.
As I thought of thanking Alice some other time, I smiled wryly while listening to Alice and Kuro bantering with each other.
