Chapter 888: In the Demon Realms City ② (1/2)

When I regained my composure and entered the store with Sieg-san, I was immediately approached by a woman who looked clerk, wearing a uniform-like outfit.

[Welcome, what are you searching for tod…… Mhmm? Mhhhhmmm?]

[Eh?]

[……Fumu fumu, hou hou……]

[Ummm……]

The clerk seemed to have noticed something while she was speaking, and then, for some reason, she circled around me, looking as if she was evaluating me.

As I was feeling puzzled by her incomprehensible behavior, the clerk nodded once and spoke.

[We've never met before, have we?]

[Eh? Yes, I don't think we have.]

[However, I have this feeling like I've met you before…… This must be that, right!? You're my fated person! After all, that's what it says in the book I read the other day!]

[………………………….Yes?]

[Someone I admire told me, that the moment you see that special someone would make you feel that spark…… Thus, after tens of thousands of years living in this world, my fated person has finally appeared!]

I don't know what's going on, but she suddenly started saying something incomprehensible. Her story is so far-fetched that putting aside throwing a tsukkomi at her, my mind couldn't keep up with what's happening at all.

In front of the confused me, the clerk gave me a thumbs up with a big smile on her face.

[Alright then, for the time being, how about you fall in love with me?]

[No, thanks. I'll pass.]

[……An instant rejection after an encounter, this feels very painful.]

After hearing my words, the clerk over exaggeratedly slumped her soldiers, her tension fluctuating wildly. However, just after her shoulders slumped, the clerk immediately looked up.

[This was that, right? It was just a bad encounter…… For the time being, I think I should prepare ”bumping into you with a piece of bread in my mouth”, so you'd better watch out for ”when you're turning corners under the moonless nights”!]

No, no, if you mix up all sorts of things like that, you'd sound like you're planning a sneak attack on me, you know!?

[Well then, let's get back on track…… What are you searching for today?]

No way, this girl…… From all the tension she had earlier, she immediately returned back to serving customers? As I was puzzled by how quickly she switched faces, Sieg-san, who had recovered from her confusion earlier, spoke.

[……Errr, we're here to look at your Teleportation Magic Tools.]

[I see. If that's the case, there's a section on the second floor dedicated to Teleportation Magic Tools, so please go there.]

[Ah, yes. Thank you very much.]

While I was astounded by the clerk who treated us normally that I really wondered what had just happened, I felt like I would get tired if I dealt with her any longer, so I just said thank you and decided to quickly head upstairs with Sieg-san.

Then, climbing upstairs and checking the floor map that was right next to the stairs, and moved to the Teleportation Magic Tools section.

[……That clerk was kinda amazing, wasn't she?]
