As expected, there’s no online booking in this world, so when making a reservation at a restaurant, I physically visited the place to make the booking.
Well, I could have asked Eta or Theta to make the reservation for me, but I wanted to check the location and do a little scouting, so I went there myself.
[When I went to make the reservation, they mentioned they had private rooms available, so I booked a private room. Is that okay with you?]
[Yeeees. Having to spend time leisurely with Kaito-sama certainly sounds lovelyyyyy.]
At first, I just asked for a regular reservation, but the staff suggested a private room, so I went with it. We don’t have to worry about manners too much, and as Illness-san said, it’s better for us to enjoy the meal at our own pace.
Well, anyhow, just like that, we arrived at the restaurant I had looked into beforehand, and the staff guided us to the private room but…… Arehh? This room is more luxurious than I expected…… For a moment, I thought I had mistakenly walked into a super high-end restaurant with a dress code, as the room was so beautiful and spacious.
[……This room is more impressive than I thought.]
[Indeeeeed. This is just my gueeeeess, but it’s probably a room intended for high-ranking nobleeeees. If I were to compare it to Kaito-sama’s woooorld…… This would be a VIP room, isn’t iiiiiiit?]
[Ahh, so it’s something like a VIP room huh…… Now that you mention it, when I reserved the course meal, they asked me for a budget limit, and I told them there wasn’t one. Maybe that’s why they mistook me for a noble.]
[Or perhaaaaps, as this restaurant is often used by nobleeeees, they might already know about Kaito-samaaaa?]
When I made the reservation, they explained that they would adjust the wine selection to match the budget, so I told them there was no limit. After all, if I’m going to drink, I want something nice, and besides, I have plenty of money.
Most of my money is entrusted to Anima, but I still have a large amount of white gold coins in my magic box. If I don’t make a conscious effort to spend them on occasions like this, Anima’s sharp financial skills will ensure that my wealth increases faster than I can spend it…… I don’t really use white gold coins for things like everyday necessities or my hobbies though…… I think the only times I’ve used them were when I’m treating Alice for a meal outside or when I bought something special from her…… So most of my white gold coins have only been used on Alice.
[I’ve heard I’m well-known among nobles, but do you think I’m also recognized by restaurants?]
[Heehhh, Lilia-san’s shops huh. That sounds interesting.]
As we sat across from each other, I received a black-painted list of today’s course menu from the staff. I noticed they were preparing what seemed like an aperitif, while I continued my conversation with Illness.
I’ve heard that besides her Flying Dragon Service, Lilia-san is also involved in running shops, but I haven’t talked much with her about it, so I don’t really know what kind of stores she owns.
Incidentally, the VIP room we’re in apparently has a soundproof barrier around the table, so the staff preparing the aperitif nearby can’t hear our conversation. When they enter the barrier, they always announce themselves with an ā€œExcuse our intrusionā€, so this place is probably a room nobles use for private discussions.
[Milady owns two stores around this areaaaaa. One of them deals with tabletop interior gooooooods.]
[Tabletop interior goods? That’s a bit unexpected. Ahh, but now that you mention it, Lilia-san’s mansion does have several high-end-looking tabletop decorations, so I guess she has a good eye for that kind of thing?]
[Milady has theeeeese…… peculiar connections through introductions from those who handle modeeeels, so I believe she does have the affinity for iiiiiiit.]
[……Ahh, I see.]
Right, she did buy a lot of those expensive dragon models…… It makes sense that she used the connections she made back then to source tabletop interiors as well.
[The other one is a jewelry stooooore. It was established about a year ago, but it seems to be doing quite weeeeell.]
[A jewelry store…… Ahh, could those be jewelry from the Blue Diamonds and Ice Crystals Isis-san gave her?]
[Yeeees. The jewelry store also includes thooooose, but after thaaaaat, her connections also expandeeeeed, allowing her to consistently source high-quality geeeeeems, so she decided to open the stoooooore.]
[I see……]
As to be expected of a Duchess, Lilia-san seems to be involved in a lot of different ventures. A jewelry store actually sounds like a smart move. If Sieg-san approves, they could even handle Sela’s Midnight Diamonds, which would likely be quite profitable.
[Afterword]
Serious-senpai: [I think it’s more like Lilia’s connections expanded dramatically thanks to Kaito, and as a result, she ended up getting involved in a lot of different things. As for the jewelry store, Lunamaria did make some foreshadowing comments about it, so it feels like that plot point has finally been picked up after a few years……]
