Chapter 23 (1/2)
In the late afternoon, I went to cancel my entry in the Senbatsu Tournament
”Thank you for your time”
After offering the perfunctory word of thanks, I a the Student Affairs Office
”So, how'd it go?”
Hyoro and Jaga, aiting outside, gather to me
”Apparently the tournas have already been decided, so they couldn't do it”
I sigh heavily
”Well, cheer up Just think of how popular you could get if you do well!”
”That's right 'Troubles are just opportunities in disguise' That's what they say, right?”
I shake my head
”It's not about winning or losing I simply don't want to enter at all”
”Haah, there's no helping it then I'll introduce you to a good shop, how about that?”
”G-, good shop?”
Jaga reacts ide eyes
”Not THAT kind of shop! It's that store that everybody's talking about nowadays, Mitsugoshi+ Co I hear that they sell a products that nobody's ever seen before For example, there's a confectionery called 'chocolate' that's supposedly sweet and tastes absolutely delicious”
(T/N: Mitsu'go'shi+ lol)
”A sweet confectionery? Sounds good……”
”Stu~pid What's the point if you eat it yourself?”
Hyoro sa's head
”You're supposed to give it to a girl as a present Let irls soht into your hands”
”I, I see As expected of Hyoro-kun! I've learned so new today”
”I know, right?”
So says Hyoro proudly
”So with that, let's go, Sid!”
”Let's go, Sid-kun”
Both of their eyes are glittering
”Fine, let's go”
With a sigh, I agree to go along
I wonder what this world's so-called 'chocolate' is like?
Led by Hyoro, we proceed down the royal capital's e, and all the stores in pri The one with the most bustle out of even all of theoshi+ Co
”Uwaaahh, how impressive”
A gorgeous, brand-new building that towers over all its neighbors Furthermore, it seems very tasteful – even a bit modern, perhaps How do I put this, this is a place that makes me feel every bit as out of place as I did in those brand name stores back in my previous life
And the line at the entrance Every single person lining up is either a noble or sole look is all that's needed to see that they are high class customers At the end of the line, there is a lady in a unifor to that, it seems that we'll have to wait 80 minutes
”It says that we'll have to wait 80 minutes”
That was me
”Which et back to the dorms before curfew”
That was Jaga
”We've already gotten here Let's just line up”
And that was Hyoro
”But there's a ru back too late……”
”Stupid, we are three ether Even if he attacks us, we'll beat hiame”
Hyoro pats the sword on his hip with a 'pon pon'
”I, I suppose”
”Hey, what's this about a slasher?”
I interrupt their exchange to ask
”Apparently, there's so random people He's supposedly quite skilled, and there've even been knights who fell victim……”
So explains Jaga in a softer voice
