Unexpectedly, right at the very end of the day, Shiro-san had suddenly come to visitā¦ā¦ I see, she really is just like a Last Boss she claimed herself to be. Leaving those unimportant thoughts asideā¦ā¦ Isnāt this quite a big deal!?
As I thought that, I glanced to the side and saw Amel-san, who before I knew it, had assumed a prayer pose on both knees, the same one Lilia-san taught me when I first met Chronois-san.
When I cast my gaze around, I noticed that the Dwarven vendors at the nearby stalls and the festival participants had all assumed the same posture, quietly and solemnly praying.
I suppose even casually speaking in the presence of the worldās Creator God, Shiro-san, may be regarded as disrespectful. As a result, the area around us became unusually quiet, as if the festive commotion had been nothing but a lie.
[ā¦ā¦Ahh, errrā¦ā¦ Shiro-san. Iāll confirm this just in case, but what are you here for?]
[Shopping, I suppose.]
[ā¦ā¦To be more specific, what are you shopping for?]
[I dunno?]
[You donāt knowā¦ā¦]
The airheaded way Shiro-san tilted her head in wonder when asked about her purpose, all while stubbornly sticking to their far-fetched logic, is truly just like her.
But seriously, I wonder what Shiro-san came here for? I mean, all the merchandise has already been sold out, and itās hard to imagine Shiro-san wanting any of the chuuni goods. I even gave them the accessories I made in advanceā¦ā¦ I canāt figure out what sheās after.
[Itās not like Iām particularly looking for anything. I simply wanted to engage in the act of shopping at Kaito-sanās stallā¦ā¦]
[Fumu?]
[Back in Symphonia Kingdomās Founding Festival, I didnāt come to Kaito-sanās stallā¦ā¦ even though Kuro went.]
[ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦]
[I had received the baby castella you made , but we havenāt had a purchase exchange at your stallā¦ā¦ even though Kuro did.]
[ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦Ah, yes.]
Doesnāt she look quite dissatisfied there!? Well, now that she mentioned it, Kuro did come directly when I set up a stall back in Symphoniaā¦ā¦ Shiro-san did have quite a sense of rivalry when it comes to Kuro, so she was probably dissatisfied with how only Kuro got to go shopping at my stall.
[Ahh~~ Then, I hadnāt intended to put all of these in our stall, but we still have teacups with our brand mark on them, so would you like them?]
[Iāll have that then.]
[Understoodā¦ā¦ Here you go.]
Since Shiro-san often drinks tea, she should have many opportunities to use teacups, so I suggested that to her, to which she seemed to show no particular objections and appeared to be fine with it.
Well, it seems that Shiro-san simply wanted to engage in the act of shopping at my stall, and she doesnāt have particular preferences regarding the items they purchase, so sheād likely be fine with anything.
[Well then, keep the change.]
[Hold on a moment there, Shiro-san, thatās just strange. You donāt go āKeep the changeā when youāre presenting to me a bag jingling with coins. How much is even in this bag?]
[A hundred white gold coins.]
[Thatās way too much!]
[Keep the change.]
Why the heck is this God giving a billion yen for a teacup set!? Moreover, she probably created this moneyā¦ā¦ Is money really something one can just create? No, I guess rules like that donāt apply to Shiro-san huhā¦ā¦ Shiro-san is the rule of this world itself, and if she just says theyāre white, then crows are white. No, Iām not talking metaphorically, as crows would seriously turn white, and the world would recognize them as white birds.
Being an absolute being in this world, itās probably alright for Shiro-san to do it. I guess the only one who would even think of complaining to her about doing something like this is Kuroā¦ā¦
[By the way, Kaito-san, Iād like to confirm somethingā¦ā¦ Did Kuro come to this stall?]
[Eh? Kuro didnāt come. She isnāt planning to come eitherā¦ā¦]
[I seeā¦ā¦]
Ahh, she looks really proud now. Frankly speaking, she even looks pretty smug about itā¦ā¦ Iām sure this is something sheāll brag to Kuro the next time they drink tea together, to which theyāll probably end up fighting again.
As I was pondering over such matters, Shiro-san made the teacup she had received disappear before continuing.
[Well then, Iāve fulfilled my purpose here, so Iām going back.]
[Ah, yes. Thank you.]
[Hmm, please do your best with your stall, Kaito-san.]
[ā¦ā¦Thank you. Errr, even when I said all that, Iām really glad you came to visit, Shiro-san.]
[Fufuā¦ā¦]
We were about to go close up our stall thoughā¦ā¦ Well, whatever. She probably just wanted to have such an exchange too.
Besides, well, Iām honestly happy that Shiro-san came all the way here. No, considering the circumstances around our stall and the current condition Chris-sanās stomach probably is in, I do have some complicated feelings, but I am glad that Shiro-san came.
As I was thinking that, I heard the sound of another fireworks going off in the sky, even though the fireworks should have already ended. However, upon seeing gigantic āDOYAā up in the night sky, I quickly turned to Shiro-san, seeing a smile on her lips as she vanished from sight.
Stop thatā¦ā¦ Stop with the Doya Fireworksā¦ā¦ Yeah, Chris-san and the others are likely holding their stomachs by now.

Serious-senpai: [No, Chris certainly is already like that, but by her voluntarily going back, the desperate measures of the Supreme Gods were also brought to naughtā¦ā¦ In a way, I guess you could say this is truly just like her.]
