"Look, I've just recently been able to do something about this store. I think Sylvie likes it."

Arthur points to a shop. It's not a restaurant, it looks like a store that mainly handles groceries. The stuffed animals and accessories decorated in the show windows were indeed Silvi's preference, as Arthur put it, and I stopped on my feet.

"... cute"

"Good. I wasn't sure about the woman's preferences, etc., but the fact that it came true for your glasses doesn't seem to be something I threw away either. Would you like to take a peek inside?

"Yes, no, I'm fine"

I really want to go inside. But what do you think with Arthur, Arthur said?

"If you can feel it with me, you don't have to worry about it. I'll wait outside. Because I don't want to do anything you don't like."

"Huh..."

I really didn't get the meaning of the words I was told for a moment. I very much don't think it's Arthur's dialogue that's ever been scattered and forceful. Turning his eyes round and staring at Arthur, Arthur grinned bitterly.

"Did I forget to say during this time that I would wait? I won't throw up. I won't do anything you really hate."

"Oh, yeah..."

I got upset. Certainly before this, Arthur said he would wait. But I really didn't think it was going to work. Arthur is a strong, pushy character. I assumed it would be something more gooey. If they ever retreat, they don't know what to do the other way around.

"So, you're not going inside?

Arthur urged me again, and Silvi returned to me all the time. Open your mouth in a hurry.

"Ha, I won't go in. Well, it's not like I don't like you."

I thought it was hard on me, but I couldn't help but say it.

"Oh."

"What, what is it? Is something wrong?"

"No."

Arthur was right, he really didn't want to go into the store with him or anything, but then he kind of didn't want to say he would.

If I did that, I kind of felt like I was going to be the one who hated me so much.

"This is how we walk together, so we have only two choices: to come in together or not. I can't let Master Felix pretend to be a squire."

In a throwing mood, Arthur grinned.

"Really? … you are a kind man"

"Beh, I can't believe you're being nice."

I just didn't want to be the one who hated me any more. Even if it wasn't, I didn't want to hurt him more than I had to, even though I had a bad feeling about it.

I want to be hated, but I never want to hurt you.

Arthur joked about what he thought when he saw Silvi turn away.

"Okay. So, shall we come in together?

"That's why you're saying you're not going in!

The story is back. How can this not go on well with Arthur?

Arthur says with a laugh to Silvi, who is on his way.

"But you want to come in, don't you?

"Chi, no!

"You don't have to. Because it's written right on your face. You said you were worried about that store. If I can't wait, I'll come in with you. That's what you said. So, look, let's go."

"Well, that's why I'm not."

I resisted desperately but in vain.

I thought you said Sylvie wouldn't do anything she didn't like. What the hell is this all about?

I lost Arthur's forceful push and ended up stepping into the grocery store.

◇ ◇ ◇

"Wow, cute"

It was Silvi who was to enter the store due to unexpected developments, but she quickly smiled in the store, full of small groceries of her choice.

There is also a lot of groceries, but also a lot of toys for children. The store was lined with stuffed animals, handkerchiefs, and small figurines in unusual shapes in vases, and I enjoyed the groom and feeling just watching.

It seems that they also sell baked confectionery rather than a complete grocery store, and the smell of freshly baked and characteristic appetite drifted through the store. With the smell of deliciousness, Silvi turned her gaze towards you.

"Oh, they sell sweets, too."

Several kinds of baked confectionery are stored in glass cases so that they can be weighed and sold. Looks like a take-home shop, no food or drink space. Arthur also turned his gaze to you and told Silvi.

"It does look delicious. I'm afraid there's no place to eat and drink."

"Right."

With an honest nod, Silvi glanced back from the baked confectionery. I'm not willing to chat with Arthur amicably, but I'm also not willing to fight pointlessly. As much as this is normal conversation and I thought you wouldn't mind, I just looked out at the view...... Sylvie's movement solidified beautifully.

(Huh... you're lying...)

I didn't want to notice.

Silvi and Arthur were just where we could see the inside from the outside.

From the other side of the glass show window, Alice had a full grin and waved towards Silvi.

"Yay! Excuse me? Excuse me?
