In the afternoon, when I felt the warm afternoon sun through the window, I came to visit Alice's grocery store.In front of us is the magic sesame that we used to play with at the Six Kings Festival... a sample of the product.

In the two years since the Six Kings Festival, various improvements have been made and mass production systems are in place, so it seems that it will soon be released from a chamber of commerce that handles toys, etc.

I thought the Sedicchi Magic Hardware Chamber was launching it.

"The toy system is stronger in other chambers of commerce... well, that's Kuro-san's chambers of commerce, too."

"As expected, the king of economics....."

"It looks like I've created a new Chamber of Commerce recently."

Is that so?

I listened back as I received the tea Alice offered me.I knew that Kuro was doing a wide range of things, and it was called the pinnacle in the economic world. "Individuals own assets that are comparable to 10% of the global economy". Including the rights and assets owned by the Chamber of Commerce, Kuro is the world's richest man, and it is even more remarkable.

... the millionaire seems to start again.

"Yes, is it the effect of Eden placing her body in this world, or did Sharovanal negotiate...... Hello, it seems that the reproduction of mechanical products with magical tools will be relaxed."And on the evening of the official announcement, we set up a chamber of commerce that handles otherworldly products. ”

"... acting too fast"

"It seems that we recently introduced a system of internships, picked up promising people from among the recruited staff, and invited them to join the new Chamber of Commerce."Perhaps when Mr. Akari and Mr. Kazuya have finished their training, they will come to talk.They're from another world, and they're strong on other world-related things. "

"I see..."

Well, Kuro loves to raise people in the first place, so the establishment of the new Chamber of Commerce will also be related to that.Drinking tea while hammering at Alice's words.

It's a really relaxing time, and I'm getting a little sleepy.

”...... this shop is open all the time, isn't it?”

"Isn't it now?" On the contrary, don't you think it's more unnatural to be thriving? "

Well, that's true.

She sits next to Alice with chairs lined up on the counter, looking at the inside of the shop, where there are no customers without changing their appearance.It's probably not my fault that there are more teas and sweets than there are merchandise on this counter.

While thinking about it, I was having a relaxing time... and Alice suddenly opened her mouth.

"... oh, by the way, Kite-san.I need to talk to you a little bit... "

"Talk to me? Alice?" It's unusual.... "

"No, my best friend... oh, it's not Iris, but she wants to play with me and Kite-san."

Speaking of which, I heard that you have another best friend, but haven't you heard the details?

"Yeah, well..."

"There's nothing wrong with that... but why do you look so subtle?"

If you're Alice's best friend, I'd love to meet you, and there's absolutely no problem playing with the three of you.There was no unnatural part of the story so far... but for some reason, Alice had a complicated expression on her face.

I don't mean to say I hate it, but somehow... I feel like I'm in a lot of trouble.

"No, I'm your best friend... again, it's a troublesome thing to say. It's a majestic problem all the time, so I can't find out who I am anymore... Even if I say there's no majesty anymore, I'm stubborn enough not to give in..."

What do you mean, you're gonna find out?

"It looks like you've already taken measures... but would you like to try it? His best friend's name is... but did you get it?"

"... no, I just didn't hear the part of my name at all"

"... even if you rot, it should be called an eel... it's also effective against Kite-san's opponent."Well, it's such a troublesome thing... what should we do? "

"No, at the moment I only recognize people who have great power, so there's nothing wrong with them at all..."

"--It 's--It's about--"

"What? What?"

"Can't you hear me after all... haaaa

Whatever it is, there are no elements on my side that could be a problem at the moment.It seemed like someone with tremendous power, but it wasn't surprising that Alice knew someone like that.

I wonder if there's any reason to try to hide your identity... I don't know what to do until we meet, but if you just can't get a name, that's fine.

"Well, I can't think of a reason why Alice looks so uncomfortable..."

Don't you like Alice?

"No, I hate it... I think it's really troublesome that I have to be a stopper."However, it seems that frustration has accumulated recently, so it's better to be rampaged in a strange place... haaah, I can be considerate now. "

"... um, yeah?"

I don't know, it's an unsettling phrase.Speaking of which, I feel more uncomfortable than meeting the Ten Demons... what kind of best friend is that?
