Chapter 1592 - End of Stomachache Festival ?
Unexpectedly, right at the very end of the day, Shiro-san had suddenly come to visit…… I see, she really is just like a Last Boss she claimed herself to be. Leaving those unimportant thoughts aside…… Isn’t this quite a big deal!?
As I thought that, I glanced to the side and saw Amel-san, who before I knew it, had assumed a prayer pose on both knees, the same one Lilia-san taught me when I first met Chronois-san.
When I cast my gaze around, I noticed that the Dwarven vendors at the nearby stalls and the festival participants had all assumed the same posture, quietly and solemnly praying.
I suppose even casually speaking in the presence of the world’s Creator God, Shiro-san, may be regarded as disrespectful. As a result, the area around us became unusually quiet, as if the festive commotion had been nothing but a lie.
[…..Ahh, errr…… Shiro-san. I’ll confirm this just in case, but what are you here for?]
[Shopping, I suppose.]
[……To be more specific, what are you shopping for?]
[I dunno?]
[You don’t know……]
The airheaded way Shiro-san tilted her head in wonder when asked about her purpose, all while stubbornly sticking to their far-fetched logic, is truly just like her.
But seriously, I wonder what Shiro-san came here for? I mean, all the merchandise has already been sold out, and it’s hard to imagine Shiro-san wanting any of the chuuni goods. I even gave them the accessories I made in advance…… I can’t figure out what she’s after.
[It’s not like I’m particularly looking for anything. I simply wanted to engage in the act of shopping at Kaito-san’s stall……]
[Fumu?]
[Back in Symphonia Kingdom’s Founding Festival, I didn’t come to Kaito-san’s stall…… even though Kuro went.]
[……………….]
[I had received the baby castella you made , but we haven’t had a purchase exchange at your stall…… even though Kuro did.]
[…………Ah, yes.]
Doesn’t she look quite dissatisfied there!? Well, now that she mentioned it, Kuro did come directly when I set up a stall back in Symphonia…… Shiro-san did have quite a sense of rivalry when it comes to Kuro, so she was probably dissatisfied with how only Kuro got to go shopping at my stall.
[Ahh~~ Then, I hadn’t intended to put all of these in our stall, but we still have teacups with our brand mark on them, so would you like them?]
[I’ll have that then.]
[Understood…… Here you go.]
Since Shiro-san often drinks tea, she should have many opportunities to use teacups, so I suggested that to her, to which she seemed to show no particular objections and appeared to be fine with it.
Well, it seems that Shiro-san simply wanted to engage in the act of shopping at my stall, and she doesn’t have particular preferences regarding the items they purchase, so she’d likely be fine with anything.
[Well then, keep the change.]
[Hold on a moment there, Shiro-san, that’s just strange. You don’t go “Keep the change” when you’re presenting to me a bag jingling with coins. How much is even in this bag?]
[A hundred white gold coins.]
[That’s way too much!]
[Keep the change.]
Why the heck is this God giving a billion yen for a teacup set!? Moreover, she probably created this money…… Is money really something one can just create? No, I guess rules like that don’t apply to Shiro-san huh…… Shiro-san is the rule of this world itself, and if she just says they’re white, then crows are white. No, I’m not talking metaphorically, as crows would seriously turn white, and the world would recognize them as white birds.
Being an absolute being in this world, it’s probably alright for Shiro-san to do it. I guess the only one who would even think of complaining to her about doing something like this is Kuro……
[By the way, Kaito-san, I’d like to confirm something…… Did Kuro come to this stall?]
[Eh? Kuro didn’t come. She isn’t planning to come either……]
[I see……]
Ahh, she looks really proud now. Frankly speaking, she even looks pretty smug about it…… I’m sure this is something she’ll brag to Kuro the next time they drink tea together, to which they’ll probably end up fighting again.
As I was pondering over such matters, Shiro-san made the teacup she had received disappear before continuing.
[Well then, I’ve fulfilled my purpose here, so I’m going back.]
[Ah, yes. Thank you.]
[Hmm, please do your best with your stall, Kaito-san.]
[……Thank you. Errr, even when I said all that, I’m really glad you came to visit, Shiro-san.]
[Fufu……]
We were about to go close up our stall though…… Well, whatever. She probably just wanted to have such an exchange too.
Besides, well, I’m honestly happy that Shiro-san came all the way here. No, considering the circumstances around our stall and the current condition Chris-san’s stomach probably is in, I do have some complicated feelings, but I am glad that Shiro-san came.
As I was thinking that, I heard the sound of another fireworks going off in the sky, even though the fireworks should have already ended. However, upon seeing gigantic “DOYA” up in the night sky, I quickly turned to Shiro-san, seeing a smile on her lips as she vanished from sight.
Stop that…… Stop with the Doya Fireworks…… Yeah, Chris-san and the others are likely holding their stomachs by now.
<Afterword>
Serious-senpai : [No, Chris certainly is already like that, but by her voluntarily going back, the desperate measures of the Supreme Gods were also brought to naught…… In a way, I guess you could say this is truly just like her.]
