Chapter 556: I Think Its a Lovers Privilege (2/2)

As I was overwhelmed by Kuro's awesomeness once again, Hina-chan seemed to have decided to use the allowance Kuro had given her to buy a magic tool, and handed the shopkeeper a gold coin.

Seeing this, Kuro calls the woman who owns the stall after she had finished handing the magic tool to Hina-chan.

[……Can I ask you something?]

[Underworld King-sama!? Y- Yes!]

[Did you write down the formula for this magic tool?]

[Y- Yes. I did.]

[I see…… It's a beautifully-written formula. It's well organized and well simplified.]

[I- I- I- It's an honor!]

The woman who was spoken to by Kuro bowed her head several times, clearly looking nervous.

[……By the way, do you have a contract with any companies right now?]

[N- No, not yet……]

[I see……]

After nodding at the woman's words, Kuro took a piece of paper and a pen out of nowhere, wrote something on it, put it in an envelope, and held it out to the woman.

[If you're interested, it would be great if you could come visit the Seditch Magic Tool Company with this letter of introduction.]

[!? U- Underworld King-sama…… T- This is……]

[Unnn, I'd like to hire you if it's possible. Of course, I won't force you.]

[T- Thank you very much!]

Apparently, she was scouting for the woman who owned the stall. After deeply bowing to Kuro, the woman received the letter of introduction with her trembling hands.

Being scouted by the world's largest Magic Tools Trading Company…… The joy on the woman's face could be clearly seen.

After waving to the woman, who deeply bowed to her again, and told her that she would be told the details when she visited, Kuro left the stall and approached me.

[Sorry to keep you waiting.]

[No…… Was she a really skillful person?]

We couldn't stay in front of the stall forever, so we exchanged words as we walked away from the stall with Lilia-san and the others.

I'm really not sure how good or bad her craft is, but I think Kuro saw something bright in the woman who owned the stall.

[H- Hmmm, in terms of technique, she still isn't quite great yet. However, she was very good at simplifying her formula. It's very important for a magic tool artisan to have a sense of how to put together a compact formula. With a compact formula, the magic crystal used can be small, and the cost of the product can be reduced. So, a girl with that kind of sense is suited for product development.]

[I see……]

I don't know if this is what they call the face of an administrator, the expression Kuro currently had is very dependable. She has the decisiveness of the head of the world's largest trading company, immediately scouting for talent when she sees it.

As I was thinking about this, I felt Kuro squeeze my hand, and the serious expression she had turned into a smile.

[Kaito-kun, after the magic tool area, where should we go next?]

[Hmmm, let's see……]

Dear Mom, Dad———— I think it's cool to see Kuro with the expression of a manager or a king, but I like her best when she's smiling and enjoying herself like this. The best part is that I get to see it up close————- and I think this is a lover's privilege.

Serious-senpai : [……T- This feeling…… this is bad! My experience and intuition is telling me…… s- sugar will be gushing in the next chapter!?]
