Chapter 98 Shes a Lost Cause (1/2)
It’s been two days since I returned to the royal capital from the city of Rigforeshia.
I’m now leisurely walking through the streets of the royal capital, exhausted from the events in the Sacred Tree Festival.
I was only in Rigforeshia for about 4 days, but I feel like I was there for a long time because of all the things that happened there.
I’m not sure if it was because I’m the winner of the harvest festival, but many of the elves were sad to see me return and told me to come visit again whenever I wanted.
I’d also like to thank Rei-san and Fia-san for their help while we were intruding upon them, and I hope to visit them again with some souvenirs.
By the way, Anima is still with the guard force in the city of Rigforeshia.
Even if Lillywood-san promised to help reorganize the guard force, it’s not something that can be done in a day or two, so I’ve decided to have Anima work hard until they finished reorganizing.
Anyway, since I’ve thrust the job on her, when the reorganization is over and Anima comes to the royal capital, I’ll take her out for something delicious to eat and let her have a good night’s sleep.
Lillywood-san seemed to be busy with lots of things, and we hadn’t been able to talk much since we chatted in the Spirits’ Forest, but she made a suggestion before we went back.
That promise I made with Isis-san…… Lillywood-san would be picking me up when I go to visit Isis-san’s home.

It seems that there are a considerable amount of monsters in the Demon Realm, and since Isis-san’s home is quite far from the city, I was very grateful for her offer.
I will still be discussing the details about when I will visit Isis-san, but it looks like I’ll be visiting the Demon Realm soon.
If there was a big change after the Sacred Tree Festival, it would be the relationship between Lilia-san and Sieg-san.
The rut has been resolved, and even though I didn’t know if they began talking the same way they used to before, the chances of seeing Lilia-san, Lunamaria-san and Sieg-san being together had clearly increased.
What particularly caught my impression was how happy Lilia-san seemed to be and how she had a bright smile on her face, as if an evil spirit had taken possession of her body.
Now then, the purpose of my current visit to the city is to give the owner of the miscellaneous goods store I met before…… Alice, a souvenir I brought from the Sacred Tree Festival…… or more like, some of the prizes I won as the winner.
Well, to be honest, since it’s called an assortment of fruits, I was expecting it would be something like a basket of fruits…… but I was given an outrageous amount.
It’s already an insane amount of fruit, so much so that it feels too much even after sharing it with the servants in Lilia-san’s house.
According to Rei-san, it was more than usual, but I wonder if he was trying to look presentable since Lillywood-san was there?
Anyway, it was so much I can eat them all, so I’m heading to Alice, who sold me a variety of good items at a discount.

Well, I did buy around 5000R worth of goods last time, so I don’t think she would have any food problems like she did before……
In an alleyway off the main street, there stands a small shop with a sign that says “Miscellaneous Goods Store” just as it was before.
When I got there, I opened the door of the store without thinking about anything in particular…… and closed it immediately.
I think I saw something strange just now. No, maybe I was looking at it wrong, but it looked like there was a stuffed cat lying on the floor……
[……This is bad…… it’s not like the skins of my stomach and back are sticking together anymore, I’m so hungry it’s like my stomach has a hole in it……]
[……………..]
[I really can’t move…… I can’t even move one more step……]
[……………..]
A familiar stuffed costume lying on its back on the floor, mumbling to herself.
To be honest, I was filled with the desire to leave immediately even if I just arrived, but I endured it and looked at the “idiot” in front of me.

[……Unnn? Ahh, Kaito-san~~ You came to buy something from me again~~? Or rather, please treat me with something~~]
[……Hmph!]
[Hiieehh!? W- Wait!? Why does it look like you’re going to just trample down on me!? That looks dangerous, you know!?]
[……Sorry, I didn’t see you there.]
[No, no!? We totally met eyes with each other just now! You were just about to step at me right as you came in!]
I tried stomping on the laid down stuffed costume while pretending it’s just a coincidence, but unfortunately, she quickly evaded it…… That doesn’t look like you can’t move at all though……
[How violent could you be that you would stomp on the face of such a beautiful girl as soon as you see her again, Kaito-san!?]
[No, I just can’t see around that area because of my height.]
[……Well, it certainly may be unseeable based on your height.]
[Then, it’s alright.]

[I see! That’s right! ……Wait, no!? Isn’t that strange!?]
Is that…… Noritsukkomi? As I thought, this person really isn’t ordinary.
(T/N: Noritsukkomi is where the boke goes along with the joke, then throws his/her tsukkomi.)
[……Is that admiration I’m seeing in your face? Rather than that, Kaito-san, aren’t you too harsh on me? Please give me more affection instead, affection!]
[……………..]
[……Erhem. Once again, welcome, Kaito-san. Since when did you come home from the Sacred Tree Festival?]
[It’s been a while, about two days.]
Coldly staring at Alice, who got up and spread out her hands after making her joke, after a while, Alice greets me as if to reset the conversation again.
Wryly smiling as she’s still as enthusiastic as usual, after we exchange greetings, Alice dexterously rubs her stuffed hands together.
[So, did you come to buy something from me today too? Tell me what you’re looking for!]
