After the conversation with Funf-san was over, Sieg-san and I headed to the city for sightseeing as we planned.
It was no surprise, but the atmosphere around the city was very different from the royal capital of Symphonia Kingdom.
The Symphonia Kingdom was more like a medieval fantasy town straight out of my imagination, but this city seemed a bit more modern.
First of all, the roads are well-maintained, and although I donāt know what theyāre made of, I get the impression that theyāre like the asphalt roads Iāve often seen in Japan.
I also get the impression that the size of the buildings varies quite a bit, but I think this is due to the fact that the people who live there vary greatly in body size compared to other people.
[ā¦ā¦Amazing. It looks like a more advanced and functional cityscape than even the Hydra Kingdom.]
[Indeed, the whole place seems to be smartly organized. I think itās because itās an economic city with a lot of top trading companies.]
[I also think thatās one of the reasons. Itās possible that itās because there are so many of them here that itās easy to gather the most advanced technologies.]
It seemed that Sieg-san had also never been to the Demon Realm much before, as she was moving her gaze with interest.
[Sieg-san, you havenāt been to the Demon Realm much?]
[Thatās right. Putting aside if itās within the Human Realm, if one wants to go to the Demon Realm, they will need a certain amount of money to travel, and it simply takes days. Teleportation from Human Realm to the Demon Realm is quite expensive, and people usually go through a gate to get there.]
[Teleportation Magic Tools certainly are also expensive.]
[Yes. When it comes to those magic tools that can be used to teleport from Human Realm to the Demon Realm, itās something that is very hard for ordinary people to acquireā¦ā¦ is what Iād like to say, but itās perplexing how it seems to be within my reach now.]
Saying this, Sieg-san wryly smiled. The reason for this was her pet, the Rainbow Dragon, Sela. Alice apparently likes to use Selaās Rainbow Diamonds as a material and often buys it from Sieg-san.
Setting aside whether the things I heard were the truth or not, like her having no money because sheās a King who had the greatest amount of employees to pay, it seems that a lot of money came into Sieg-san as Alice was able to buy them at a very high price.
[ā¦ā¦Itās the first time Iāve ever had too much money and not enough ways to spend it. Iām living in Liliās house and I donāt have any hobbies that require spending money.]
[What about buying a Teleportation Magic Tool?]
[Indeed, considering that I will often be visiting Funf-samaās place in the futureā¦ā¦ That might be a good idea.]
[Then, since weāre in the city that is home to the worldās largest magic tool trading company, why donāt we take a look?]
[Fufu, I guess youāre right. Letās go.]
After smiling at my suggestion, Sieg-san held my hand with a happy expression on her face. Itās probably not my imagination that she looked a little excited.
In any case, Iāve also been looking forward to going on a date with Sieg-san, so I guess Iām also very excitedā¦ā¦
I had visited this place before to buy the magic crystal for the music boxes, but as expected of the headquarters of a large trading company, it was a very large building that could be seen even from a distance.
As we happily chatted, we reached the front of the store directly managed by the Seditch Magic Tool Trading Company, adjacent to their headquartersā¦ā¦ and saw two girls at the entrance with flustered expressions on their faces
[Noā¦ā¦ Ahh, geez! She slipped away again!]
[Why is it that even though Esteemed Sister canāt fight, sheās so good at secretly moving awayā¦ā¦ She even slipped through my Detection Magic, and I canāt find her at all.]
[She shouldnāt have gotten very far though, so letās hurry and find her.]
The two of them really looked like each other, making me wonder if theyāre twins, but one had reddish-purple hair tied in a right side-tail, while the other had bluish-purple hair tied in a left side-tail. Their clothes were very distinctive, resembling kimonos, and they each carried a large katana at their waist.
From what I heard, they seemed to be looking for someone, and when they suddenly noticed us, they flusteredly rushed over to us.
[Excuse me, have you seen a tall woman with a purple ponytail?]
[No, I didnāt see her.]
[I seeā¦ā¦ Iām sorry for the abrupt question.]
I wasnāt really paying that much attention to the people we pass by, but I donāt remember seeing a tall woman. It seems like Sieg-san also didnāt see anyone fitting their description.
As her shoulders slightly slumped at our words, the woman with the reddish-purple hair lowered her head, while the woman with bluish-purple hair was looking at us, looking as if she was thinking about something.
[ā¦ā¦For the time being, I think we should look in the opposite direction of where they came fromā¦ā¦ Whatās the matter, Cien?]
[ā¦ā¦I feel like Iāve seen him somewhere beforeā¦ā¦ Errr, where was it again?]
[Rather than thinking about that, we still need to find Esteemed Sister Tre!]
[Youāre rightā¦ā¦ Sorry, Cento. Letās hurry.]
When the woman with bluish-purple hair, named Cien, looked like she was trying to remember something when she saw me, was approached by the woman with reddish-purple hair, named Cento, after a brief pause, they bowed to us and left.
[ā¦ā¦I wonder if they lost sight of someone they knew?]
[Perhapsā¦ā¦ Even so, those two are incredibly powerful.]
[Yes, I think theyāre probably around high Count-rankā¦ā¦ However, I donāt think Iāve heard of their names. If theyāre that strong, I donāt think itās strange if theyāre famous butā¦ā¦ Well, thereās a chance that theyāre famous in the Demon Realm and I just donāt know about themā¦ā¦]
While tilting my head at the strange encounter, I regained my composure and we walked into the store.
