I was currently working in a laboratory in my home basement in Chesgan on a study of the arming of state anomalies that could also be used in dungeons and so on.

So far, I've tried paralysis effects, dark effects, poison effects, muscle regression effects, gravity additions, and so on, and have been prototyping until the effects that just seem to be good can be imparted to the [Demonic Knife].

Essentially, all the various effects are not negative, so it was likely to be a choice between taking a strong but short grant effect or making it weak but long lasting.

Later, if I let [Magic Gun Knife] grant it, it would be rebuilt if it broke, but it was easier to work with than [Magic Gun]. The reason is that [Magic Knife] can be done while stabbed by a demon.

The battle gets too complicated even with too much variety. It's not a good idea to get tired easily, so I decided to split it it between it for the miscellaneous fish enemy and the boss.

All [Magic Guns] were granted some effect, and [Magic Guns Knives] decided to use the successful ones as state anomalies, and those that failed to grant them as normal [Magic Guns Knives] until they broke.

Finally, the Cecilia Shop No. 2 store was completed in Lakeheart.

The day before the Cecilia shop opened, I decided to invite my mother's neighbors acquaintances and classmates exclusively to distribute strawberry shortcakes, the main product of Store 2, free of charge to those who came.

Making this shop seemed pretty tough on my own.

"Mother, thank you for giving me quite a bit of money for Cecilia Shop 2.

"It's okay. I'll use it for neighborhood dating, too. And you still can't believe Ray built the store all by himself.

"I could do it because I relied on Mr. Cecilia for a good part of it. I'm almost like a designer. [M]

Actually, I almost did it myself......

"That Cecilia was made by Ray, too, wasn't she?

"As for Mr. Cecilia, that could be a coincidence that the runoff of skills worked luckily. Cecilia said I don't remember, but I couldn't reproduce it.

"You are..."

(Are you suspicious of boulders? Expose me as a reincarnator? Let's hide it until it's critical.

There were about 50 people in the Cecilia shop called by their classmates and mothers.

"Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for gathering today on the day before the opening of the Cecilia Shop. I am Cecilia, the owner. This is a strawberry shortcake that we have distributed free of charge, but we usually sell it for 500 colts. We make baked confectionery around 300 colts and other confectionery that we prepare between 400 and 600 colts. Thank you again after the opening.

Today I decided to just distribute strawberry shortcakes and have them eaten at home.

"Hey, Ray. I have a bad feeling..."

What do you mean you don't like it?

"Mr. Karin, what's going on? What's a bad feeling?

"I don't see Mr. Liliane, did you call him here?

"Ah! I didn't call you!

I firmly called my classmate, but I completely forgot about Mr. Liliane.

"I was so excited to see you before...?

"... what shall we do? Is it good at school tomorrow?

(Mr. Liliane hates losing, but there's a weak spot to be hit... You're going to cry if you find out you haven't been invited.

"What about taking it to Mr. Liliane's house?

"I don't know where Mr. Liliane's house is..."

"Ray, is there a problem?

"Ah, Mother. Actually, I have a classmate named Liliane, a nobleman, who accidentally forgot to invite me today. I'm not sure what to do.

"Mr. Liliane belongs to Count Levan?

"Was that indeed the name...? Mother, do you know?

"Yeah, I can see that. I've asked you several times.

"Will you take me to Count Levan's?

"It's good to go, but it's not that easy to see nobles, is it?

Sure, because nobility is not like going to a normal house. But I thought it was enough to just give him the cake without seeing him.

"It's okay. Because I just give you strawberry shortcakes at the entrance to the mansion.

"Okay. Shall we go after the distribution then?
