Studying And Training Is Such A Pain (8)
What do you think? This wood has a high-gloss finish. It also contains a spell that restores the hairs strength the more its used.
It was an expensive brush.
The price was approximately a million arcs.
One would wonder how a brush could go for a million won, but with its magical construction, it wasnt completely out of the question.
Anything magic-related was pricey.
It was also the reason for everyone wanting to become a mage.
Its still pretty expensive.
Throw away a million won on a single brush?
Any other time it wouldve been a definite refusal.
But from what I could see, it was such an exquisite brush that it would certainly increase the possessors princess power.
Narus current level was at C+, so gifting her that brush will raise it to B-.
Alright. Ill take it.
With some discounts, the total is a million arcs.
I pulled a wallet from my pocket.
The owner of this pricey accessory store raised his brows, his eyes reflecting the teddy bear pattern on the wallet.
Why, is there a problem?
As I asked, the owner gave an awkward laugh.
You see, I was a little nervous when I heard you were the King of Thieves, but you use quite an adorable wallet. You have feminine sensibilities, I suppose.
A cute and feminine wallet.
This man had good eyes.
This wallet belonged to someone who had such feminine sensibilities.
The wallet was obviously not mine, but Brigittes.
It was stolen last night because it was only right that Narus things should be purchased with Brigittes money.
She was Brigittes daughter.
Narus mom, Narumom.
Of course, Naru is my kid, too, but I dont carry enough cash to drop a million arcs all at once.
Hehe Then is there anything else youre looking for? You also needed a fan, right? We have many on display here. How about this Barbaria silk fan? Its the best one in the house.
A Barbaria silk fan
It was a fashionable one, all black from the handle to the folded part.
What made it special was the elegant crane embroidered onto it.
The Barbaria silk is the highest quality material that can only be acquired from the far plains, which you would probably know as its your home country, sir Judas.
The owner rambled on in explanation.
You can close and open it like this, which is good for carrying around.
Shrrrrr Snap
Being foldable and silky-looking, even at a glance it was one of the top-quality products of this store.
A young noble lady should certainly possess one of these. It can be used for various things such as covering ones face, shade from the sun, even blocking the wind!
Thats true.
The price was the problem, though.
How much is it?
Well, this one is a little expensive. That is about 3 million arcs. But considering the manufacturing process and the material used, the price is sufficiently justifiable.
3 million, you say.
It really was expensive.
Of course, that had nothing to do with me.
Swoosh
I took out a wallet again from my inner chest pocket.
It was a pouch made of crocodile leather, and the owner watched this keenly.
A different wallet, this time.
Obviously.
This was someone elses wallet.
It belonged to Cariote.
Also having stolen this last night, a fan for Cecily should be purchased as a gift with Cecilys Moms money.
Theyll understand.
Jingle Jingle
After paying for everything with Freesian bills, the wallets became lighter and the load heavier.
I was about to leave having seen to everything when
What is that?
Something caught my eye.
As if smelling another sale, the shop owner hastily explained.
They are blessed charcoal. Though its burnt wood, you can see here that there are many colors. It wont stain the hands but if you draw it across a wall or paper
Draaaag
I was highly impressed with seeing the charcoals color leaving a mark on the wall.
It was an excellent tool for drawing anywhere.
A drawing tool.
I wouldnt have thought about buying such a thing.
The only items on my shopping list were Narus brush and Cecilys fan.
But maybe due to a certain kid I met earlier, it strangely nagged at me.
She had been drawing in the dirt with a stick, after all.
How much is it?
This one is expensive as it is a limited-time offer product. Itll cost about 1.5 million arcs.
What? What kind of charcoal crayons cost 1.5 million won?
When I frowned deeply, the owner seemed to feel uneasy.
This isnt to swindle you or to make a large profit. This charcoal of 12 colors with its limited quantities is difficult to obtain.
He didnt seem to be lying.
Even if he was lying in front of me and was price gouging to make a profit, I would have left it.
I was okay overlooking someone with that much guts.
Alright.
I decided to buy it.
It wasnt my money anyway.
I took out Salomes wallet and paid 1.5 million arcs.
To note, I nicked it from her when going to get the picture diary, and she didnt seem to notice being too distracted by the Rainbow Pearl.
Clang Clang
Anyway, I purchased the gifts for all three children in that way.
Now Im done.
When I was heading out, the owner hastily called me.
Please wait!
What is it?
Is he trying to sell me something else?
I was watching with that thought when the owner grinned and handed me something.
It was a doll.
A doll in the shape of a girl made of buttons, cotton, and yarn.
This is a doll that weve been making in-house and Id like you to take it. We hope youll visit our store again when we receive new products.
I see.
He wants to make me a regular.
I also think itd be good to have a store that I can depend on.
As Naru or Cecily, and possibly Hina, grow older, theyll be asking for a lot of things and I was too lazy to go searching around every time.
Ill come back next time.
Clang Clang
I took the doll as well and headed back to the school.
* * *
The end of school.
Naru who was searching around from the school gate waved vigorously when she spotted me.
Here! Im here! Dad hasnt forgotten and will take me home properly!
I see.
She was worried that I had gone elsewhere instead of picking her up to take her home.
Thankfully, I had neither forgotten nor gone elsewhere.
I have a present, too. Tada.
Oh, holy shh! Molumolus brush!
Naru accepted the brush from me and was very happy.
She immediately reached into her shadow and pulled out Molumolu.
Molumolu, lets brush your fur!
Grrrr!
Ah, why are you running?! Dont run!
Naru chased after Molumolu who was hopping away. It was satisfying to see her like it so much. Even if I hadnt bought it with my money.
Cecily, I didnt forget yours either. Heres the fan. Its not a feather one but made with silk. They say nowadays they use these foldable oneslike thisin social gatherings.
Shrrrrr
Cecily unfolded the fan she received.
From the way her eyes shone, she seemed to like it a lot.
Hmph, its not a feather fan but I will say thanks for your efforts. You are granted the special opportunity to stroke this Cecilys hair.
Indeed.
But I shook my head.
No, you should be the one doing that to me. Im the one whos being commended for their work so why should you get the hair strokes? Come on, Cecily, ruffle my hair.
P-Pardon?
Cecily looked at me as if she couldnt believe I was being like this.
Of course, it was a joke so I messed up her hair when she wasnt expecting it.
Hiiiik! Do not mess up my hair!
Anyway.
I successfully delivered the items to Naru and Cecily like that.
Cecily, with the fan, rose to B+ in princess power.
And Naru, holding the now-brushed Molumolu in her arms, became B-.
Meoooww.
Molumolu, you disliked the brushing at first but now youre so calm once it started!
Or so she says.
Now I only had the doll and crayons.
The 12-color charcoal can be handed to Hina the next time I see her, and I thought about who to give the button doll to.
Naru, Cecily, do you want a doll?
Naru had Molumolu so no need!
I, Cecily, am past the age to be playing with dolls as well.
I see.
To me, theyre still the age to be playing with dolls.
What to do
As I was wandering, I saw a girl approaching the school gates.
It was Tywin with long ash-colored hair.
I approached Tywin who glared when she saw me.
What is it?
Still as touchy as ever.
I held out the doll to the touchy kid.
Here, take it.
Okay.
What?!
I didnt think shed accept it right away.
I definitely thought she would be resistant like, I dont want it, or Why should I?
But Tywin took the button doll from me readily.
Soon afterward, she explained why.
If I dont take it, then youll annoy me until I do. Happy? Im going home now so please dont bother me.
I see.
Smart kid.
But doesnt she know that once shes been spotted, she cant avoid me?
Still a child.
Tywin, whats the point when theres no one home? Your mom will probably be working overtime since shes so busy. Come over for dinner and stay the night.
I invited Tywin.
I wasnt pitying her or anything because I knew her identity, this was all in my plans.
If she comes over, then Naru and Cecily will play with Tywin whose princess power was A, and in turn, theyll surely become more refined and intelligent.
The doll was also a bribe of sortsto get along with my kids.
Also, I need to ask when Hinas birthday is.
Tywin was insanely accurate about other peoples birthdays.
.
Tywin looked at me.
Then she looked at Naru and Cecilys faces, making an exasperated face.
Moooom, whats for dinner?
Todays is my boys favorite pork cutlet. Lets go have pork cutlet. After we treat your cavities at the dentist.
Gwaaaa!
Soon, Tywins eyes contained the sight of children going home holding their parents hands.
