Returning from the Sacred Tree Festival, I met with Alice againā€¦ā€¦ but she was so useless that I think she would die if she keeps going like this, so I preached at her for a while.

[ā€¦ā€¦Thatā€™s why if youā€™re going to gamble, you need to learn to keep it in moderation.]
[Geez, all those people who canā€™t exert self-control are human trashā€¦ā€¦ Theyā€™re the worst kind of gamblersā€”ā€”- Ouch!?]
[Iā€™m talking about you!]
My head is starting to hurt.
It would have been great if I could just end up in a conclusion where she got what she deserved, but unfortunately, itā€™s difficult for me to say that because of my personality.
Rehabilitationā€¦ā€¦ might be impossible, but I should at least make her change her trajectory of mind so that she wonā€™t become broke from itā€¦ā€¦ After today, I would come visit and check her every now and then.
With that in mind, I pulled out a red bear sandwich from my magic box that I had bought earlier since I liked it when I ate it before and was planning to eat again today when I got home.
[Hey, donā€™t just eat fruits, eat this too.]
[Eh? What is this, is this the carrot gently held out to me after the stickā€¦ā€¦ Kaito-san, youā€™re so dreamy! Youā€™re making my heart beat fast!]

[Thatā€™s disgusting.]
[Even within this flow of conversation, youā€™re still throwing sticks!?]
Saying another joke, Alice started eating the red bear sandwich I served her.
As I watch her eat, I think about the future for a bit.
As for the wasted money from gambling, she should be able to improve her life if I keep warning her in the future, but the problem is her income.
To tell the truth, Aliceā€™s shop, by her own account, isnā€™t getting any customers.
Itā€™s been nearly seven days since I was here, and I donā€™t see how her life can improve under such conditions.

Though I say that, itā€™s not like I know everything about running a business, and making a shop popular is difficult.
The problem is that the shop owner is too suspicious to begin with, and I donā€™t think that area will improve at all.
Even if I were to buy some stuff here every now and then, itā€™s not going to last foreverā€¦ā€¦

[Kaito-san, whatā€™s troubling you?]

[Wellā€¦ā€¦ Ah, thatā€™s right. Do you have any recommended items in your store?]
[Of course, I have! Itā€™s my masterpiece!]
[ā€¦ā€¦Masterpiece?]
I wonder why, but I have a very bad feeling about this.
A recommended item that Alice is proud ofā€¦ā€¦ wait, hey, why the heck are you pulling out several pieces of those familiar stuffed costumes from the back of the store!?
[What do you think!? This magnificent craftsmanship!]
[ā€¦ā€¦I will ask just in case, but whatā€™s that?]
[Theyā€™re stuffed costumes!]
[ā€¦ā€¦ā€¦ā€¦ā€¦ā€¦]

As I thought, this guyā€™s no good.
She looks like sheā€™s doing her best to look smug, but what Iā€™m only feeling now is the urge to strike her head again.
[Oops, is that doubt of the excellence of this product I see in your face? Fufufu, I would be troubled if you think that these stuffed costumes are the same as normal stuffed costumes.]
[ā€¦ā€¦Unnn?]

[This stuffed costume is filled with multiple magic crystals that automatically keep it at a comfortable temperature, and it also cleans itself some extent! Plus, itā€™s elastic and feels great on the skin! It also emits a faint recovery magic, giving the wearer a relaxing effect, showing how magnificent this item is!!!]
[What the heck is with that uselessly high efficiency!?]
It has a body temperature control function and relaxing effect, it automatically cleans itself, and it feels great on the skinā€¦ā€¦ but all of those great functions were used on a stuffed costume.
Itā€™s performance, which should make this considered as a magic tool, is tremendous, but the shape ruins everything.
[Whyā€¦ā€¦ is it these stuffed costumes?]
[Well, due to the fact that I have to put magic crystals in it, I need a certain amount of thickness in it. Since I canā€™t make it into clothesā€¦ā€¦ I made it into stuffed costumes!]

[So, are they selling?]

[Iā€™ve never sold one!]
[ā€¦ā€¦Why didnā€™t you make it as a ā€œfutonā€ or a ā€œcoatā€?]
[ā€¦ā€¦Huh?]
I asked this because I was simply wondering, but Alice froze as if time had stopped.
[Well, as I was saying, if you just made it because you need a certain amount of thickness, if you made a futon or a thick coat, even if itā€™s a little more expensive, wouldnā€™t a noble buy it? And since sleep is really important, if you had made it into a sleeping bag, wouldnā€™t you be able to sell it to adventurers?]
[ā€¦ā€¦Kaito-san.]
[Ah, no, itā€™s just a laymanā€™s idea, so if itā€™s impossible, I guess it canā€™t be helpedā€¦ā€¦]
[ā€¦ā€¦Are youā€¦ā€¦ perhapsā€¦ā€¦ a geniusā€¦ā€¦]
[ā€¦ā€¦ā€¦ā€¦ā€¦]

No, it seems Iā€™m mistaken, I quickly gulp down the urge to say sheā€™s just that much of an idiot.

In the first place, I donā€™t think thereā€™s anything I can do for you if the first thought you have to make is a stuffed costumeā€¦ā€¦
[That certainly would sell like crazy! Kaito-sanā€™s amazing!]
[Well, I still donā€™t see a future where customers come in this storeā€¦ā€¦ so you might as well wholesale it somewhere elseā€¦ā€¦ ]
[ā€¦ā€¦.Well, but Iā€™m banned from the company in the royal capitalā€¦ā€¦]
[If I could, should I introduce you to my acquaintance?]
Even if she has good products, I thought it would be difficult to sell well because the storeowner is as despairing as this.
To begin with, Alice had quite the despairing business acumen, so I wouldnā€™t know what kind of results sheā€™ll get if I just leave it to her.
In the meantime though, I need to find a stable way of earning income for herā€¦ā€¦ It would be no laughing matter if someone came to the store and found her emaciated and dying.
Iā€™m sorry to say this, but Iā€™ll have to rely on Kuroā€™s help.

[Eh? Kaito-san has a connection with a company~~ Which company is it?]

Sponsored Content

[Errr, I think it was called Seditch Magic Tool Companyā€¦ā€¦]
[Pfft!? I- I- Isnā€™t that the topmost company!? Eh? What? Kaito-sanā€¦ā€¦ Are you a king from somewhere?]
[No, I just happened to know herā€¦ā€¦ Anyway, Iā€™ll ask her, so can you make a sample?]
For the time being, Iā€™ll go talk to Kuro about it.
Her products actually look great, and if it werenā€™t for the shop ownerā€™s personality, they would have been good enough as is.
[Well, for nowā€¦ā€¦ I guess Iā€™ll buy some clothes.]
[Really!? Thank you! Kaito-san, Iā€™m falling in love with you!]

[Anyway, thatā€™s it until next timeā€¦ā€¦]
[With this, I can have a round againā€”ā€” Gyyaaahhh!?]

[ā€¦ā€¦The next time I come, I wonā€™t accept the excuse that you gambled away all your moneyā€¦ā€¦]
[Y- Y- Y- Yes!? R- Roger that!]
Seriously, I wonder why I got to know this personā€¦ā€¦ I really dislike my own personality for not being able to leave people like this alone.
Anyway, Iā€™ll try rehabilitating Alice for a whileā€¦ā€¦ and make sure she doesnā€™t suddenly die a dogā€™s death.
While looking at Alice, who quickly got back on her feet and recommended a variety of products with a smile, I let out a big sigh as I thought about the future.
Before I knew it, it was already past noon and I walked down the street, feeling that I had stayed there longer than planned.
While I was moving for a while, I suddenly noticed something out of place.
The road Iā€™m currently walking down isnā€™t exactly the main street, but when I usually pass by here, I would still see some people around, but now, I donā€™t see any people at all.
It may simply be that no one is passing by in this place by chance, but how should I say thisā€¦ Itā€™s strangely silent.
[ā€¦ā€¦Hey, the guy over there.]

While I was wondering about the strangeness of the situation, I was suddenly called out from behind, and when I turned aroundā€¦ā€¦ There was a strange being there that made me feel discomfort far surpassing what I had felt earlier.
There was a soft, spherical objectā€¦ā€¦ lying on a sphere-shaped cushion floating in the air, and when viewed from the front, there was a breezy-looking purple-haired woman looking at me.
It at least doesnā€™t look like sheā€™s talking to any other people, so the woman, whoā€™s impression rather fits cute rather than beautiful, languidly scratched her long, light purple hair as she spoke.
[Youā€™re the child from another world, arenā€™t you? I just wanted to ask you something, is that alright?]

[ā€¦ā€¦Umm, you are?]
With her half-opened eyes that had the same reddish-purple color as her hair, the woman looked at me as if sheā€™s feeling sleepy, while I tilted my head and asked her back.
[Me? Ahh~~ Iā€™m thatā€¦ā€¦ whatā€™s my name again? Ahh~~ Well, thereā€™s that. You can just call me ā€œFateā€~~ Nice to meet you~~]
[Ah, yes. Itā€™s nice to meet youā€¦ā€¦ Errr, Iā€™m Miyama Kaito.]
[Unnn, nice to meet you~~ Kai-chan.]

[Kai-chan!?]
With a lazy grin on her face, Fate-san called me by a strange nickname.
Dear Mom, Dadā€”ā€“ Various troubles happened since I came back, but it looks like the troubles havenā€™t stopped yetā€¦ā€¦ How should I say thisā€¦ I will just end it with thisā€”ā€” I met someone new.
================================================================================

Kaito is basically a good-natured person, so he canā€™t leave even no-good people like Alice alone, so he unconsciously ends up helping her in various ways.
And then, the new character, Fateā€¦ā€¦ It may be the Six Kings Arc, but the new character doesnā€™t necessarily have to be one of the Six Kingsā€¦ā€¦ but one thingā€™s for sure.
