Relying on the map, we arrived at a flower shop with a stylish exterior. The building looks like a log cabin, and although there arenāt that many flowers on display, they seem to have put a lot of thought into their arrangement.
When I walked into the store with Ariel-san, I understoodā¦ā¦ The shelves lining the walls were lined with a variety of seeds, giving the impression that they were focusing on that rather than flowers.
Upon noticing us, the clerk at the counter bowed her head and said āWelcomeā, but immediately after that, she raised her head and looked twice at Ariel-san with a surprised looked on her face.
Unnn, well, I think itās understandable to be surprised when someone dressed like a dancer walks into the store.
However, she was used to serving customers, and as if to change her mind, she immediately shook her head lightly, and her expression returns back to normal.
[Reservationā¦ā¦ In other words, I came to buy the seeds that we had reserved. The name citedā¦ā¦ It should be reserved under the name -.]
[Ah, yes. Understood. Please wait a momentā¦ā¦]
Hearing Ariel-sanās words, the clerk went into the back of the store to get the seeds.
[ā¦ā¦That name just now?]
[Tirās friendā¦ā¦ In other words, thatās the name of someone Tir knows living in Symphoniaās royal capital. Reservation on behalfā¦ā¦ In other words, she asked her friend who lives in the royal capital to reserve the seeds because itās so popular and scarce.]
Well, even if its potency is low, itās not surprising that many people would want to buy the seeds of a new kind of vegetable that has anti-fatigue effects.
Itās said that they have just started to be distributed, so I suspect that there arenāt that many of them. If thatās the case, it should be difficult to acquire themā¦ā¦ To get it early, you would need to have a certain amount of connections, so perhaps, the person Tir-san asked to make the reservation on her behalf was a noble with considerable authority.
Though I say that, all of that is just my guesses. When I heard that she and Raz-san were close friends, I vaguely imagined that she might be as sociable as Raz-san, and one of her acquaintances was in such a high position.
As I was thinking about this, the clerk came back with a small bag in hand.
[Thank you for your patience. Please check the contentsā¦ā¦]
[No problemā¦ā¦ In other words, these are the right seeds, so Iāll settle the bill.]
[Yes, that would be 500R for a bag.]
ā¦ā¦A small bag of those seeds costs 50,000 yen. They really seem to be very expensive seedsā¦ā¦ In that case, I can imagine that a fully grown vegetable would be pretty expensive too.
After the payment was done, Ariel-san took out her magic box and put away the bag of seeds, before turning towards me and with a smile.
[Gratitude againā¦ā¦ In other words, thank you. Thanks to Kaito, I was able to accomplish my errand without incident.]
[No, donāt worry about it. I only helped you out a bit.]
[Hope to express my thanksā¦ā¦ In other words, Iād like to thank you in some way.]
[No, you really donāt have to worry about it. I didnāt have any special plans anyway, and it was nice to visit places Iād never been before.]
This was what I truly feel. I donāt have a hobby of gardening, so I wouldnāt have had a chance to enter such a store if not because of this. Thinking about this, I feel like I profited instead.
I donāt have any intentions of starting a vegetable garden or anything like that at the moment, but considering that I may unexpectedly become interested in that, I think this could be considered a good experience.
[I respect your thoughtsā¦ā¦ In other words, if Kaito says so, I wonāt force you. Another suggestionā¦ā¦ In other words, I donāt like the idea of departing without expressing my thanks, so I have a suggestion.]
[A suggestion? What is it?]
[An invitation to a moment of supreme blissā¦ā¦ In other words, āletās dance togetherā.]
[Ahh, that sounds great. As expected, when it comes to expressing thanks, it would be dan- Unnn? No, eh? Why did the conversation suddenly leapā¦ā¦]
I reflexively responded to her, but didnāt she just say something strange? Letās dance togetherā¦ā¦ No, no, why in the world did she suggest that!?
[Gratitude for readily consentā¦ā¦ In other words, Iām happy that youāve accepted.]
[N- No, that just now was just me reflexivelyā¦ā¦]
[Strike while the iron is hotā¦ā¦ In other words, with that decided, letās move quickly. Location suggestionā¦ā¦ In other words, as for me, I think the park where we first met would be great.]
What should I do? Ariel-san seemed to really like dancing, and she was clearly the happiest sheād ever looked today, so it was hard for me to say no to her now.
It was my fault that I reflexively responded with a self-tsukkomi anyway, so I guess should probably just obediently accept it.
[ā¦ā¦However, I donāt know anything about dancing.]
[Please leave it to meā¦ā¦ In other words, donāt worry and count on me. My field of expertiseā¦ā¦ In other words, Iām confident in my dancing skill, so Iāll lead you well.]
[ā¦ā¦I- I understand. I will be in your care.]
I wonder what this feeling is? Even though Iām just reaping what I sow because of my careless comment, I still want to say somethingā¦ā¦ How the heck did this happen!?
