Chapter 277 Im Going to Have to Suffer Through this Penance Again (1/2)

Now then, having managed to send Fate-san to work and escaped Shea-san and Heart-san’s solicitation, I immediately dashed out into the city.

The purpose is simple, the words I told Fate-san to motivate her earlier, that I have a present for her…… To bring that into reality, I must prepare that present as soon as possible.

However, as soon as I got into the city, I realized…… I- I didn’t know what to buy.

Whether it’s things that she might be delighted, or Fate-san’s favorite stuff…… I don’t know about them, so I can’t think of anything to buy at all.

[……Alice.]

[Yes, yes. What is it?]

I can’t think of any direction in going here, so I decided to call Alice and ask her about it.

In my conversation with Fate-san, Alice is definitely the one Fate-san mentions a lot, so I think that they’re probably good friends.

[Alice, you’re good friends with Fate-san…… right?]

[Yes, but of course. Fate-san and I are soul friends, you know!?]

Asking her that to confirm it, Alice nodded while puffing out her small chest.

As I thought, Alice and Fate-san really are good friends. Thank goodness…… In that case, she would surely know what Fate-san likes.

No, even if they’re not good friends, Alice is the most well-informed person in the world, so it’s reassuring to have her by my side.

[I- I see…… Then, Alice. I’d like to ask you something. What is Fate-san’s favorite thing?]

[I dunno?]

[You don’t know!?]

However, Alice only tilted her head, with an unusually serious expression on her face.

[……Eh? A- Alice. You don’t know what Fate-san’s favorite stuff are?]

[Yes. I’m sorry but…… Fate-san just wants to slack off, and she doesn’t want anything……]

[H- How about her favorite food?]

[Fate-san originally doesn’t eat…… So even if you bring her something, she’ll probably eat it, but she doesn’t seem to be particularly fond of it.]

[……D- Does she have any hobby?]

[How about you ask yourself if she has any hobby?]

[…… I don’t think she has one.]

This is bad, Fate-san is a more formidable enemy than I thought.

Gods don’t need to eat, so Fate-san basically doesn’t eat, and she doesn’t go out to buy anything, and just slack off in her room…… I can’t find anything to aim at.

I mean, she would really have been quite the useless human…… Unnn? Useless human…… Making a human useless……

[……Alice. I have something that I want to consult with you……]

[Yes?]

That’s right, I remembered a certain something. Inside her room that I caught a glimpse of when I went to visit Fate-san’s earlier…… It was a room full of cushions. That’s where I found the hint I could use for my present.

[I’d like to ask you to make a slightly unusual cushion……]

[Cushion, is it? Yes, I can make that much in a minute but…… What kind of cushion is it?]

[Errr, to put it simply……]

Thereupon, I gave Alice an outline of that cushion filled with lots of small beads that would make a person useless.

Alice listened to the explanation for a while, then nodded her head in agreement and told me that I could make it as soon as I had the materials.

And thus, I decided to go around the store and gathered the materials, while leaving it to Alice to make my present.

Relieved that I’m able to prepare my present for Fate-san, I decided to return to the inn after observing Mitsunaga-kun’s speech.

I guess it’s to be expected of a man who has been giving speeches for several months now, as Mitsunaga-kun was giving a magnificent speech without shrinking from the crowd.

We had a chance to talk for a bit afterwards, but apparently, he was leaving first thing tomorrow morning for the next city, so I promised that I would see him off before I returned to the inn.

Thereupon, whether it’s good or bad timing, as I was taking a short break, I heard a knock on the door.

I already know who has come to visit me. Remembering what happened the day before yesterday, quietly retreating away from the shooting range, I slowly opened the door……

[Kai-chaaaaaaaannnnnn!]

[Wha!? Gebfuuhhh!?]

I- Impossible…… I- I’m pretty sure that I should have moved out of the line of fire…… But it felt as if her head made a curve and still accurately struck my stomach…… Do you have some freaking resentment to my stomach!?

[Kai-chan! I’m tireeeeeddd! I did my best, you know~~ Praise meeeeeeeee!]

[G- Good job at work. Y- You really did your best, didn’t you?]

As I pressed down on my stomach that had received damage again, I somehow managed to give Fate-san some congratulatory words.

[Noo for a better experience

However, Fate-san immediately ignores my actions too! She directly moved to the bed and laid down with her face down.
