Chapter 1574 - Stomachache-Filled Founding Festival ②

At any rate, it seems that Megiddo-san decided to check out my and Amel-san’s stall before greeting Lillywood-san and the others, as she looked at our wares with great interest.

Picking up an accessory I had made with Alice’s creation kit, she looked impressed.

[Hou~~ Kaito made this huh? I see…… Isn’t this quite a nice piece of work!? The design is a bit commonplace, but I could see the care for its workmanship, and for someone who made something like this for the first time, it’s quite good.]

[Thank you. Hearing you say that makes me happy…… Are you going to buy it?]

[No, accessories get in the way of battles so I won’t buy them. However, I think they’re nice enough accessories to sell.]

This is what truly makes Megiddo-san amazing. She praises something’s good points without hesitation, and even though she praises something, she doesn’t buy something she doesn’t need, which is just like Megiddo-san.

After nodding her head while looking at the accessories I made, Megiddo-san turns her attention to the ceramics Nebula made.

[……This is amazing. This Nebula, it’s that midget Spirit back at your place, right? While achieving perfect baking, the colors incorporated as patterns stand out vividly. These definitely are first-rate products…… Wait, Kaito. Why are you making that subtle expression on your face again?]

[No, my head knows that this was the case but……]

I know that Megiddo-san knows a lot about art, but it just feels so out of place, like there’s this bone stuck in my throat.

Thereupon, that certain someone who wouldn’t shut up at such a situation silently showed herself and started stirring things up again.

[Gorilla-san, I’ve already said this multiple times, but you don’t have the face to be talking about art. That face of yours isn’t one that talks about ceramics, but something whose appearance itself destroys ceramics.]

[You b*stard…… You selling a fight or what?]

[You want us to sell that? What a pushy customer we have…… OUUUUCH!?]

It looks like they’re gonna start a fight, so I hit Alice with Shiro-san’s Special Piko Piko Hammer.

[If you start a fight in a place like this, it’d be a disaster for Chris-san’s stomach.]

[No, we’d properly make sure we teleport to the Demon Realm, okay?]

[No, in that case, it would be a headache for another person, so don’t do it.]

Mainly because Lillywood-san would be the one screaming…… No, but Lillywood-san did also fight Megiddo-san in the Demon Realm…… Well, it’s better to contain troublesome things ahead of time.

[Hmm~~ If that’s what Kaito-san says…… Seems like you get to keep your life, Megiddo-san.]

[What? You won’t fight? Oi, oi, you can’t do that after making someone’s hopes up…… Even though I thought I could finally fight seriously after a long time.]

[Should I call Kuro then?]

[……Wait, Kaito. Alright, I’ll give up…… So, let’s not do anything hasty……]

Even with all her antics, Alice listens to me when I speak, so there’s no problem on her side. As for the musclehead that was about to go battle mode, I know that Megiddo-san can’t raise her head against Kuro, not just in the past, but even now, so it’s possible to come up with a countermeasure against her.

Both Alice and Megiddo-san seemed to have defused the situation for the time being, and the tense atmosphere earlier had disappeared.

[Speaking of which, aren’t you gonna buy snacks to accompany your alcohol? I’ll raise the price just for you.]

[No, you’re supposed to make it cheaper there…… Well, since you don’t mess around with food, there’s no doubt the taste would be good. Bring an appropriate amount to my castle later, and contact Agni or Bacchus for the payment. Tell them to take the money out from the vault.]

[Yes, yes, thank you for your patronage~~]

The two of them sure are quick to switch from one thought to another, even though they were just being hostile earlier…… As expected, even with all the things they say, the two of them are pretty close to each other.

Well, even with all the happenings, things sure are peaceful.

<Afterword>

Serious-senpai : [That’s just how it is, isn’t it? Unlike the Stomachache Warriors, those on Kaito’s side see this as just a normal leisurely stall opening, and with acquaintances coming by to chat every now and then, things are going quite leisurely…… It isn’t quite leisurely for the Stomachache Warriors though……]
