According to Professor Fear, who arrived while chatting, the chocolate shop that seems to have the highest rank. To be honest, I imagined that even though it was intended for aristocrats, it was still about the size of an ordinary Western confectionery shop.

But what I see in front of me is a big black painted building that is so luxurious that it seems convincing even if it is said to be a luxury brand store...? It's about four times the size of the Western confectionery store I imagined, but is it a chocolate shop at this big size!?

"...... that's more amazing than I imagined."

"Um, yeah. I've never seen a name like that before, but... I can't believe the size of the headquarters of the Chamber of Commerce."

"I-It's quite courageous to get in here." If I was alone, I would definitely have turned back. "

"Ahahah, I agree with that. Well, let's go in for now."

After nodding to Dr. Fear's words, I opened the big door and walked in... the first thing I saw was a large floor covered in a carpet that seemed expensive... hmm? Are you sure you want to take this off your shoes? Can't you get mad at me?

Right next to the entrance, there are guards, and there are showcases everywhere. It seems like it could be handled with jewelry.

Depressed by its exuberant sense of luxury, an old butler-style gentleman in a tuxedo standing near the entrance suddenly approached and lowered his head in a beautiful manner.

"Welcome, customer. I'm sorry to be rude, but may I check your 'Membership Card'?"

"Huh?, a membership card? I'm sorry, I don't have it."

Is it the left side, and is there someone to introduce you to?

"Ah, no, especially the introduction..."

This is not good. It's like a luxury store that goes far beyond your imagination, or is it obviously a membership store based on your current interaction? Isn't this a completely wrong store selection pattern?

Thinking like that, the old gentleman lowered his head with a look of apologies.

"We are very sorry that you came to our store. Due to the nature of the products we handle, we are unable to carry out mass production, so we are restricting our suppliers. We cannot offer products to customers other than those who have a membership card or are already members.”

"I see." I'm sorry, I came to the store without knowing it. "

“No, I'm sorry I couldn't meet your expectations.”

I felt sorry for the fact that I was politely refused. For now, I don't think I can make it, so I'll go to another store.

“I think we should go to another store.”

"Yeah. This can't be helped." Let's go to another store. Next, Miyama-kun should choose from the map I just showed you. "

I exchanged those words with Dr. Fear, and when I turned my back to get out of the store, I suddenly heard a small voice.

"... Miyama?"

Huh?

Reflexively, the old gentleman had a somewhat surprised expression on his face.

"Excuse me... can I ask your name?"

"Ah, yes, I'm a palace comforter."

"That's right, I'm very sorry." Please, come in. "

"Huh? Huh? No, but I don't have a membership card..."

“We'll have it ready for you soon. Excuse me, may I ask the name of your companion?"

"Uh, it's Fear."

Miyama Kaito-sama is Fear-sama, right? We will provide you with two membership cards. We are honored to have you in our store today. Enjoy shopping to your heart's content. ”

"... I see." Thank you very much. "

For some reason, the old gentleman, who felt more awe than before, lowered his head deeply and continued to move, whispering to Dr. Fear.

"... erm, what am I supposed to do?"

"Maybe, but it's a nobleman's shop, so you've heard rumors about Miyama-kun, right?" Miyama-kun seems to be famous among the aristocrats. "

"Ah, ahhh, that's what I'm talking about..."

I see, the pattern that I heard from the nobles who came to the store and knew their names... but like that surprise and awe... How am I rumored among the nobles?

... I'm so worried. I heard that there are [angels who threatened most of the nobles at the Six Kings Festival]... I wonder if they're afraid of being annihilated.

Um, um, the dilemma of being scared to know... and for the time being, I think it's good to be in the store.
