Vorpal Rabbit and Fortress Uncle

After completing a joint deep-sea investigation with the Knights, we safely returned to the port of Wadatsumi.

"Then I'll go back to the store." I'll keep working on it, so I'll let you know if there's any progress. "

"Thank you. Thank you."

Neva gets off the boat and walks towards the airport.

She seems to have a lot of work in her workshop in Susano.

It's hard for me to add to that, but she's the only one I can ask for.

As I watched Neva leave, Aye came to me.

Well then, Mr. Ledge, let's go.

Yeah? Yeah, it was a shopping trip.

Speaking of which, I also promised to go shopping with Ai.

Apparently, I wanted to buy something sweet to offer to the Knights' information analysis team.

Where are Christina and the others?

I thought the other members of the group would be with me, but apparently it was just Ai.

Strangely, she asked, coughing up a little and telling the story.

“It's not like I need to carry my luggage, and I told them to go back to the branch and report back first. It's easier to get around with as few people as possible.”

I see, that's the way it is.

There is no need for a dozen people to walk around town to buy sweets.

Admiring the rational stance of the deputy commander, a shadow appeared from behind.

“I see. Now, let me show you where to go.”

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

Leti, who looked out from behind me, nodded in amazement as she opened her eyes.

By the way, Kamil and T-1 automatically follow.

“What about Amy and Chiffon?”

"Huh? Ah, that's right..."

Looking back and asking Amy and the others, she looked lost.

"I want to buy an arts chip, right?" Amy, can you hang out with me? "

Chiffon interrupted, and Amy nodded.

Fine, then I'll let Chiffon and I act differently.

Alright, let's disband here.

Each of them was scattered in three pieces with Ai's words.

Christina and the others went to the Knights' section, and Amy and Chiffon disappeared towards the Commercial District.

Well, let's go too.

I see. Does Eye have any eyebrows on her?

Even if it's sweet, it's not said that the sweets sold in Wadazumi alone can be of thousands of kinds.

Letty couldn't recommend the store without narrowing down the genre somewhat.

In response to her question, Ai frowns in embarrassment.

"If possible, how many things can I grab with one hand?" Honestly, even if my fingertips are a little dirty, they'll be clean as soon as I finish eating them. "

It's a real world, but this is a game.

Even if you pinch the chocolate and dirty it, or blow the mushrooms out of the air, they will disappear clean and refreshing.

Therefore, the range of sweets suitable for offering was considerably wider than the reality.

Also, I bought most of the products from the store that were listed in the guidebook.

Is there so much opportunity to get in?

A guidebook published by a tourist band details unique shops in the town.

There should be quite a few of them, but she says they're pretty much exhaustive.

"Among the Knights division, the information processing team is quite busy." Every time I stop by, I give them something. "

"Huh. You have a good boss, don't you?"

"Oh, is that so... hehe"

Unexpectedly, he praised, and Eye bowed down in shine.

If you work under her, it would be a great working environment.

"It's a kind of a one-handed grab, and it's from a shop that's not very famous... I see."

Letty, who was thinking about it next to me, suddenly raised her ears.

Apparently, something came to mind.

She seems to eat around town most of the time except in battle, and she knows a lot of stores that aren't listed in the guidebook.

She quickly walks toward the town.

I think a concubine would be a good idea!

Yes, yes, here we go.

Kamil pulls the T-1 that raises her hand straight up.

Me and Ai followed Letty.

By the way, Ai, what's going on in the New World?

Along the way, ask Ai about what's on the trend.

Deep-sea exploration is only a short stop away, and many players are preparing for the new continent.

The Knights are preparing themselves around Astra.

Ket C has submitted an application for the investigator development program (user event).

"It's getting so big..."

At first, only the [Black Boot Cat (BBC)] and [White Deer Anvil] were planned, but I know that many other bands and players offered to cooperate sometime.

However, it is a little surprising that we have been able to leverage the power of management as an investigator development project (user event).

Ai looks at me with a sneer and laughs.

“Not only that, but we're trying to build a system that's going to take out the top players and take charge of the whole thing. This is a proposal from the Knights."

A system that oversees the whole thing?

Tilt your neck to a word that is difficult to understand.

Ai glanced at Letty walking in front and explained in detail.

"The BBC is not originally a band that can supervise personnel on a large scale. For example, the Knights command the front line and manage the Kagutsu Troops and Fleet. The" Seven Sages "were under the command of a mechanical sorcerer. The Union of Three Magicians is under the command of the Three Magicians. The Damascus Cooperative manages all aspects of production, and the Whistle and Horseshoes are building a supply transport system."

All the names that Eye lifted with her fingers up were bands that she often heard on the front lines.

Apparently, the BBC's policy was to entrust them with their specialty and dedicate itself to the management of the whole.

The BBC is originally an unusual form of band with many members, but lots of solo play and small parties.

Like the Knights, they probably don't have the know-how to operate on the scale of dozens or hundreds, and the mochi is probably a mochi shop.

"You're a tough member, aren't you?" It seems like it's going to be tough being an executive. "

"That's a big reward, too." By the way, Mr. Ledge is an executive, isn't he? "

Huh?

I'm sorry to hear Ai say that.

I wasn't sure I'd ever be an executive before.

"After landing on the new continent, I heard about the work of building my first base."

“That's right, the tents built by Ledge and the other campers are going to build a temporary base on the front line.”

I see.

Well, I guess that doesn't mean I have to do something about being an executive.

Ket C says, "You should do it as usual."

But if my tent is going to be a stepping stone, then we have to run in front of it.

That's right, so we need Letty and the others to do their part.

My tent is a stepping stone to landing on the New World, which means that we [Shirataga] have to get ahead and put our hands on land.

Letty and the others need to fight against the unknown native creatures, and it's going to be a painstaking battle.

When I looked forward, Letty turned to me.

"What is it like now?" You just slapped a new species of protozoa, didn't you? "

That's true, too.

Indeed, if you think about it carefully, it's not that different than usual.

After all, as Kett C. said, "We should do it as usual."

“As soon as the executive systems are finalized, there should be a sharing of information at the executive level. At that time, I think Ket C. will contact you."

"Well, I'll wait slowly."

If you just build a tent, you won't be in such a hurry.

Your tents are getting better, and you don't have to bother making new ones.

We've both arrived.

Lettie, who was walking in front of her, stopped and looked back.

If you're careful, you've come quite a bit to the center of town.

The narrow cobblestone streets branching off from the street are surrounded by western-style buildings.

One of them was the shop that Letty was aiming for.

[Sea Glass] I've never heard of it.

"This is a store that has just been built recently." The previous store was a specialty store. ”

"Yeah..."

Letty's description was distorted by Eye's expression.

The building is so stylish that I don't think there was such a store now.

The large show window was decorated with boxes of beautiful chocolates.

“Is it a chocolate shop?”

We also sell chocolate, but it's better to call it a confectionery shop.

Having said that, Letty opens the door and enters the store.

As I walked in with the sound of the bells in my ears, I was greeted with a splendid interior that looked like a jewelry store.

"It seems like a very high-end shop..."

"It's not a shop you can do after selling dried fish."

"Fufu, the product is unexpectedly affordable."

Looking back at us, and smiling bitterly, Letty heads to the corner of the shelf with no hesitation.

“Here's what Letty would recommend.”

"This is..."

As she was prompted, Eye peered into the showcase separated by glass.

There was a cosmetic box with a vibrant sea view, packed with colourful treats, about the size of a large grape.

Is that a gummy?

“Yes, it's a gummy called 'Sea Glass', which is also a sign product for this store.”

Listening to Letty's commentary, I nodded my head.

Sure looks like sea grass flowing down to the beach.

"There are four sizes: small, medium, large, and extra large, each of which contains 7, 77, 777, and 7,777 flavored gummies."

"What, the number of jokes like that..."

Even an oversized box looks somewhat common sense.

Perhaps if I took the gummies, another gummies would appear.

“If there were so many different flavors, wouldn't it be like the Russian Roulette?”

“It's okay, I ate extra large, but everything was delicious.”

Letty says that and presses the drum.

Huh, did you eat 7,777 gummies by yourself?

"It was delicious."

"Ah yes..."

Don't say anything anymore.

While I was at it, Eye was checking the price tag for "Sea Glass".

From a glance, it doesn't look too expensive.

"Shall I buy a box?"... even this chocolate. "

"Bottle mail", right? It's delicious, too. ”

I also buy bottled chocolate along with Sea Glass.

I don't know how big the information processing team is, but that should be enough for now.

“Thank you for shopping with us.”

"It's okay." I wanted to introduce this place to someone. ”

After finishing shopping, Ai thanked Letty.

Letty scratched her cheek as if it had shone a little.

A good store is one where you want to tell someone.

I'm sure she wanted the opportunity, and she was with me on this shopping trip.

Thank you, Mr. Ledge.

"I didn't do anything."

"No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no....

Ai leaned down and muttered something in a whisper.

I could not hear it well and tilted my neck, but it seemed to reach Letty's sensitive ears.

”Fufufu, I'd love to have Letty with me.”

That's right. Let's thank Letty for (...) one day as well.

"Fufufu"

Hahaha

Lettie and Ai seemed to get along.

When landing on the New Continent, it is important to cooperate with each other, and I can expect this to happen.

Lord! It seems that there is an inari sushi shop next door!

”Ah, if you want to tell me why, I can eat with you like Madeleine over there.”

Smiling at Letty and the others, she pulled her arms together.

I've caused both of you trouble on the boat, and you'll have to apologize for that.

For the time being, I turned to Kamil's side, cheering on the T-1.
