Voluon-san Goes to the Garden Party
The next day, having survived through Ligurila's ”Spartan Boot Caance Needed for the Garden Party”, we arrived at the place where the party was to take place, and where supposedly the artificial ic stones were supposed to be
Meanwhile, Nectar's party was supposed to stay at Melias and go to the depths of the dungeon in search forable to choose a dress I was supposed to wear, while I was looking around at other guests, I was thinking that I should be able to fit in just fine
「Uwaah, just look at that…… It's so lively in here」
I urila, only to find that Ligurila was preoccupied with Madame Chinon
「Ufufu, what can I say, the Avar faic stone initiative at the royal court This is our time and we need tothe dress that Ligurila handpicked for her, sracefully as she leans towards us, just so that other people couldn't overhear her
「Well, my my… Rich people sure likes to stand out, and takes real pride of it Some people just love to show off their social status」
The party certainly was fancy beyond iination, with lots of intricate decorations and exotic dishes
「Yeah, but since we still have soht as well introduce you to some of our friends here」
We then took so introduced to lot of different nobles
While doing that, I was surprised to hear just hoell known Ligurila was, being called titles such as the Tailor of Ballow or the Royal Tailor
Some people would talk to urila's Boot Ca ood
So about the artificial ic stones are vastly popular as jewelry If possible, I would like to get a hold of soer ones for the future of my company」
「We were alay behind Ballohen it coht actually be able to surpass the stories like that over and over again s were all done, I hidto catch a quick break
Muuun There are soredients in this food! I don't knohat they are, but they are surely delicious!
Then, Ligurila cas
「Ligurila, where is Madame Chinon?」
「We parted ways since she had some business to take care of on her own」
A waiter walked right beside us, and Ligurila stopped hiI used that opportunity to speak up
「It seeonize Ballow heavily」
「You're right about that Well, they were always inferior to Ballow, so it'selse When I first arrived here, I was skeptical on how people would react toat her froed her shoulders and shook her neatly co bad really happened But don't mention that to Senjiro」
「Sen-san? Hmm, come to think of it, you never tell me a story about how the two of you ht it up」
The dee for one's soul the demon would lend you power That would ic of the world itself Thankfully, that kind of relationshi+p would not harm the leylines or the world itself in any kind of way
You could even say that deon contract, but some of the nuances are different
However, since their, duh, demonic nature, humans would usually look down upon the demonic contract and shun the?」
「Not really, but still, I was just wondering that you never ever htly annoyed by my words, but for a
「If you don't have anything worthy ofto say, it is best to reet hurt one of these days And besides, the fact that I didn't form any contracts since I startedat all」
The exchanges that Ligurila had with Senjiro fro to look at, and so I automatically assumed that that would be the case
「You know, it was only really surprising that you didn't wanted toso powerful」
「The only real ti low on ht with you But, just by standing right next to you, I can easily replenish soic no problem」
「Eh, really?」
「You really don't understand that in the least, do you?」
Ligurila said that in alass
「Whenever you go, a huge supply of ic is sure to follow Think of it as a certain kind of recovery ic Now, did you honestly think that it has no influence over the people, whose souls are all part of the ic is not a stagnant force, and that it can affect a whole lot of aspects of the world, but I never really thought about it in such a way before
It wasn't all that groundbreaking news to h of awe nonetheless
「By interacting with people for a long tithen their souls Well, aside froin with, but if it wasn't for that strengthening, the soul of that Thunderstoret turned into a deht that just my presence alone could have such effects on the circulation of ed to live for so long Lava, you must always be fully aware of the influence that your existence has over others」
「Yeah, you're right」
I answered her genuilny, but she only shrugged her shoulders again in response Muu
It was at that time that loud cheers and applause could be heard froarden
Apparently the star of the party, Mrs Avar, has finally arrived
When I went there with Ligurila to see as going on, we could see a wo from the balcony of her villa
There was another person standing behind her with a really so a flashy dress over her plu her hand
「No elegance to speak of, no tact to speak of and little to no taste Three greatest flaws of a woave her honest i her head with disappointment
「The use of that fabric is poor, as well She probably tried to adapt the latest trends from Ballow, but if it doesn't fit in with the overall the it」
Certainly Just think about the money she must have spent on that dress! Also, on a side note, while looking at that dress I realized that I have seen it soirila's store, but it was not as nearly well urila's handiwork
I, I didn't say that out loud, did I? Best to keep that to myself
「But that's not what this is all about We caic stone」
「Yeah, and maybe it has some sort of connection with her」
Fro earrings, bracelets and rings on her fingers, but Ligurila was focused thearound her neck
The jewel that was put in the middle of the necklace was clear and without any kind of flaw, but it certainly resembled a certain stone ere all interested in
「Look just how large that stone is Speaking in terms of monsters to drop the stone of that size, it would have to be at least second or first class monster」
「Yeah, but it is the first ti so transparent」
It was truly puzzling, but for soaze fro inside ofit froemstone
It couldn't have been natural, but it was beautiful without a shred of doubt
「Soe」
「You think so too, Ligurila?」
