Chapter 371 She Came Up With a Good Way to Make Money (2/2)

That’s your criteria for choosing!? No, no, why are you assuming you’ll be swinging a sword at the Six Kings Festival, Lilia-san?

[For ease of movement, how about this one? It’s very light and stretches well, so I can confidently recommend this if you want nimbleness in your gait.]

[……However, I don’t really like pink……]

[I see. Then, how about trying on……]

Unnn. This is troubling…… I couldn’t keep up with what they were talking about at all.

I didn’t know much about women’s clothing, and even less about what a noble would wear.

As I looked at the scene, wondering what to do, Lilia-san turned to me with a smile.

[This will take a little while, so if Kaito-san doesn’t mind, why don’t you take a look at the clothes?　They have men’s clothing here, too.]

[I guess so…… I guess I’ll do that.]

Nodding at Lilia-san’s suggestion, I moved my gaze to choose my own clothes, but at that moment, the sales clerk asked Lilia-san.

[Duchess Alber-sama, if you don’t mind me asking…… May I ask who this gentleman is?]

[A- Ahh, errr…… He’s…… m- my lover.]

[Oh my! Please excuse my rudeness…… It seems like I’m not very knowledgeable or thoughtful enough. But, I see. Looking closely, he certainly has the face of a high-class person, so he must be a very famous person.]

……High-class? Who is?

[My apologies. I don’t often have the opportunity to see “noble-sama’s” face, so please forgive me for not recognizing you.]

[…………………]

……Noble? A- Ahhh, I see…… She thought that since I’m the lover of Lilia-san, a Duchess, I would naturally be a noble…… I was tempted to ask her what exactly noble-like did she see in me, but telling her that I’m not a noble would only prolong this topic, so I just said a few words to her and started to choose my outfit.

A different clerk came and explained the clothes to me but…… To be honest, I haven’t found any clothes that I like.

In a way, that might be something that’s obvious…… The clothes I was wearing now were made by Alice. To be honest, Alice’s taste and skills are top-notch, and since the clothing I bought from her were tailored to my tastes, it would be hard for me to find something better than that.

In fact, ever since I started buying clothes at Alice’s miscellaneous goods store, I can’t remember buying clothes at any other store.

As I was thinking about this…… out of nowhere, a familiar masked girl…… Alice appeared in front of me.

Alice has a big smile on her face and a small, 30x30cm wooden board in her hand. And written on it was “Alice-chan’s special handmade clothes ~~ Six Kings Festival Specifications ~~ Set of 3, one white gold coin”.

In Japanese yen, that’s 10 million yen…… This f*cking b*stard….. She wanted to earn more even after getting a lot of money from me yesterday at her food stall. She had completely set her eyes at me.

Instead of opening her store and waiting for the customers to come to her, she went with the method of offering what I need at the right time at high prices…… Frustrating it may be, but it was very effective.

A white gold coin…… However, knowing her, I’m sure that the goods she made are worth more than their cost…… Taking that into consideration, doesn’t that mean that they should be cheap?

After some thought, I silently handed Alice a white gold coin.

Thereupon, Alice brightly smiled and disappeared as if nothing happened…… With this, I’ll have three outfits delivered by the day of the Six Kings Festival. I knew Alice had good taste, so I could count on her.

I feel like I’ve really lost though……

[……Ummm, as I thought, I’m fine with the clothes I have.]

[Yes, I have heard from Phantasmal King-sama. I’ve prepared some tea here, so please make yourself comfortable.]

……She’s also one of Alice’s subordinates huh…… From the flow of things…… Could it be that it was all according to Alice’s calculations?

Dear Mom, Dad———— My shopping date with Lilia-san finally started, but I guess it’s already standard for men to be left behind when women choose their clothes. Well, that’s fine and all, seriously, this b*stard Alice——— She really came up with a good way to make money huh.

Targeting Kaito who has a lot of money and is insanely sweet to her friends (lovers)…… That’s quite an astonishingly effective tactic.
