I was looking through magazines to gather information for a date, and somehow ended up planning a trip to a luxury chocolate shopā¦ā¦ Well, I suppose I can think of this as preparation for the date.
Speaking of, if I visit the trade city beforehand and register the location with my Teleportation Magic Tool, itāll make things much easier on the day itself. Since I havenāt been to this place before, Iād normally have to pass through Archlesia Empireās Royal Capital and use a teleportation gate or transfer service to get there. But this time, that wonāt be an issue.
[Alright, alright, if youāre ready, letās head out!]
[Yes, Iām in your care.]
[Then, Iāll be touching you for a moment.]
Since this trip was set up through Jutiaās introduction, she, whoās skilled in Teleportation Magic, will take me directly without needing to pass through the Royal Capital, which makes things convenient.
Jutia-san lightly touches me, and as a magic circle appears at our feet, the scenery instantly changes, and we arrived in what seems to be our destination, the building in front of us.
[Oh, oh! This is my first time in this cityā¦ā¦ but the red brick buildings are beautiful.]
According to the magazineās introduction, this city has streets surrounded by buildings made with red bricks, which is a famous sightseeing spot. The magazine didnāt have photos, only illustrationsā¦ā¦ It looks just like the drawing, with a nostalgic and charming atmosphere.
[Thatās right, thatās right. The whole city has this kind of vibe, and it seems like they purposely use low-intensity Illumination Magic Tools here, giving the place a nice, calming atmosphereā¦ā¦ Oh, right! Shall we head inside the shop?]
[Ah, yes.]
Strolling down this beautiful red-brick street seems enjoyable, but Iāll save that for the date. For now, I decided to go into the chocolate shop, which is our main purpose today.
As expected from a luxury shop, even the entrance door was incredibly elegant. When we opened the door and stepped inside, a store clerk who had been waiting near the entrance approached us and bowed deeply.
[Welcome. I apologize, but may I confirm your membership caā¦ā¦]
[Oya oya? Oya oya?]
[Is something the matter?]
[ā¦ā¦Ah, n-no, my apologies! Iām terribly sorry, but may I check your membership card? Ah, but of course, itās fine if you donāt have one! In that case, weāll prepare a membership card for you right away!]
Could it be that? Since Eris-san is the owner, she might have informed the staff about meā¦ā¦ Well, thereās also that rumor that Eden-san gave some rather strict āwarningsā towards some people in Archlesia Empire, so maybe thatās influencing things too.
[Iāve got my membership card here. Also, also, I wanted to introduce Kaito hereā¦ā¦ but I suppose that doesnāt seem necessary huh.]
[Thank you very much, Jutia-sama. Indeed, weāve confirmed it. Weāll prepare Miyama Kaito-samaās membership card immediately, so please enjoy your shopping.]
It seems clear she knows who I am. She even addressed me by my full nameā¦ā¦ W- Well, in any case, it looks like thereās no issue with us entering, so I followed Jutia-san into the shop to take a look at the chocolates.
This place is incredibleā¦ā¦ the luxury vibe is almost overwhelming. The chocolate samples are displayed like pieces of art, and the prices are insane. A single piece is 10Rā¦ā¦ over 1,000 yen in Japanese currency. Some pieces go for tens of thousands, with gold leaf sprinkled on top, making the chocolates look like pure gold.
[It looks like youād be fine even without my introduction.]
[No, I honestly didnāt expect the place to be like this, and I probably would have been overwhelmed by the luxury vibe without an introduction, so having you with me is a relief.]
[Is that so? In that case, in that case, Iām glad to hear it.]
If Iād come here alone, Iād definitely be intimidated. Iāve been trying to visit high-end shops more often lately, but Iām still not used to it at all.
Just having someone familiar by my side makes me feel much more at ease.
While Kaito and Jutia were browsing the store, by some coincidence, Eris was at the back of the shop, visiting for an inspection.
After a quick look around, Eris was elegantly sipping tea as she reviewed documents on sales trends over the past few months and the performance of each product. At that moment, a flustered clerk came rushing over to her.
[O- Owner!? Itās an emergency!]
[Whatās the matter? Is there some sort of trouble?]
[M- Miyama Kaito-sama and Great Tree Princess Jutia-sama have arrived!]
[ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦Eh?]
It goes without saying that it took a moment for Erisā mind to process the situation, completely frozen in place.
[Afterword]
Serious-senpai: [Putting aside if it were in a regular chocolate shop, in a high-end shop catering to nobles, it seems like his face would be recognizedā¦ā¦ The scenario in which the children who arenāt involved in succession disputes work as clerks is also possibleā¦ā¦ In any case, to give both Eris and the staff that initial double blow of stomachaches, as expected of the expert.]
