On the way to shopping with Couinu.
When I passed in front of the downtown grocery store, Lizzie and Luca were in front of the store.
Lizzie and the others are apparently shopping for expedition training.
"Oh, you guys shopping too?
I'm calling to see if you've noticed the Fees there, too.
"Yeah, bye"
"Wait a minute -!
One nod, Luca gives a hurried look and calls to Phee, who tries to walk away with a light goodbye.
"Uh, what?
Fee looking back with a slightly unpleasant face.
Luca sweats at the reaction, but still grins at her forehead and laughs as usual.
"That's a lot colder. He who exchanged his swords with each other said that they were one another."
'Cause I want to shop.
Not that I don't like the two of you, but I have a lot to buy today, and I wanted to rush ahead.
Both Lizzie and Luca have a hard time talking because of their aristocratic birth. Even the well end story seemed to take some time.
"Well, if you're shopping, you can do it here."
That's what Lizzie said, pointing to the grocery store back there.
Indeed, Lygial is right, and the store also has what the Phys are looking for. But......
"Because it's expensive"
Fee was right, Luca. The shop was a luxury store. Even a piece of soap makes it about 10 times lighter than the stores that Fee usually buys.
"Oh, man. I'm sad to say I'm worried about money to buy groceries."
"Oh, I'm starting to feel a little sorry for myself for being born with talent as well as financial resources."
"Yes, yes, that's what I'll do then"
As it turned out to be a long, futile story, Phee quickly cuts the conversation and tries to head to the store where he wants to go.
"No, not at all!
And once again, I can be stopped by Luca.
"What the heck. If it's a wellside meeting, I'd like it to be you and me."
"Aren't you sure it's cold?
Luca shrugged with a serious, slightly sad face.
But going back to my usual look like I was getting back on my mind, I tell the Fees.
"I have no choice. Have mercy on the poor, and I'll give you a special treat."
"Really!? Wow!"
With a slight attitude flickered, Phee runs through Luca to the side and into the store.
"Oh, hey! Why don't you say thank you?
"Thanks, Luca!
Luca snapped with a cheeky face to Phee, who thanked her without even showing her face from inside the store.
"What cash is a common man..."
That's the aristocratic Luca and Lizzie, your shop?
Inside the store, it was glittering with decorations. Unlike the usual store where my uncle in Lower Town sits alone in a cashier's chair, the clerk also has about three beautiful women, hands in hand, floating a perfect sales smile.
Fee took the soap that was on the shelf and smelled it.
"Wow, that smells good. Look, sniff the cooinu, too."
It doesn't smell like the soap I normally use, but the soap I keep smelled elegant.
As Phee offered the soap in front of Cousin's face, Cousin smells the smell.
"If I wash my body with this soap, does it smell like this from my body, too?
"Ooh!? Grr!"
At those moments, Cousin coughed up.
"Oh, I'm sorry. Was the smell too strong?
To apologize Phee, a cousin with a bright red face shakes his face.
I guess he had difficulty breathing and was out of acid, he did something wrong, Fee thought.
Speaking of which, I heard that animals have a sensitive sense of smell and react strongly to odors. Next time I tried to be careful, Fee thought.
"I knew expensive shops weren't the same"
Fee looked over at the store and muttered.
Towels and brushes are also hands-on decorations. Not only that, but I knew I saw that I was using more material than the stores I usually use. Doesn't mean the store I usually use uses bad materials.
"Exactly. Values seem to be popular that it should be cheap again, but it's lamentable. The expensive ones have a lot of work to do."
"Um, well, maybe it does"
What Luca said was convincing. It's just...
"But I can't afford to spend so much money on groceries."
Fee shook up a price tag with a price that she could buy for three months of soap she normally used.
I think Luca's right, too, but if I was buying something like this, I'd run out of money right away on the apprentice knight's salary.
"So let's get out of here, Couinu"
"Oh, man. You're not buying it? I'm telling you it's a luxury."
"Um, I knew something was wrong"
I was in a stronger mood to try to cool it down for once than to get it to be luxurious originally. I went in there with zero intention of buying it, and I multiplied it by Luca's words.
So when I look at the actual price, I get a little hip pull.
"If you think you're happy to accept it, you suddenly shy away or don't know what it's like to be a commoner..."
It was Luca with her hands on her forehead for Fee's whimsical behavior.
"I have no choice..."
Growling like that, I messed up my shopping bag and took something out.
"How about this?
And throw it to Fee.
When Fee received it passively and looked at it, it was the soap I was looking at earlier.
"What is this..."
"What I had already bought. It's a gift. You can't afford it."
"Um, I think the procedure just changed"
I just feel the difference between already accounting for it or accounting for it later.
But I did feel lighter than getting paid.
It's a little strange.
"Thanks"
Fee laughs and receives the soap.
"Helping ordinary people is also the role of knights"
Plus Luca laughed like a kiddie.
"As a result of the Northeast vs. Swordsmanship match, I don't think that game is my win"
"Right, it's definitely my win, isn't it? Without that referee..."
…………
Fee nodded lightly at Luca's words. Luca shuts up for a moment.
"... it seems true that we are not convinced by the outcome of the match. Let's get this settled in survival training. Try to survive so you can fight me."
In the end, maybe that's what you wanted to say.
"Yeah, I'm going to win, so thank you."
Fee replied with a grin as well.
Couinu, who saw that fie's smile from the side, changed his expression a little and caused a cold sweat, but neither Luca nor Lizzie noticed.
"You've come a long way to win. Of course we're going to win."
"Oh, I'm going to brush it with genius, too. I hope you're looking forward to it."
"Yeah, bye."
"Bye."
That's how I figured out with Lucas, and then I shopped and bought everything I needed in advance.
On the way home.
Fee looks at the luxury soap she gets from Luca.
"You got something. It's a waste to use for laundry, and I think I'll use this just for body washing."
"Ugh, yeah......"
Kuinu nods a little red on his cheek at the words.
"Does it smell good?
"I think it smells good... always..."
Couinu that was a little out of the point of the response, but we didn't notice each other.
That is how the shopping for preparation came to an end, and the day of departure for the expedition exercise came.
