Chapter 2015: Park Date 9
As expected, there's no online booking in this world, so when making a reservation at a restaurant, I physically visited the place to make the booking.
Well, I could have asked Eta or Theta to make the reservation for me, but I wanted to check the location and do a little scouting, so I went there myself.
[When I went to make the reservation, they mentioned they had private rooms available, so I booked a private room. Is that okay with you?]
[Yeeees. Having to spend time leisurely with Kaito-sama certainly sounds lovelyyyyy.]
At first, I just asked for a regular reservation, but the staff suggested a private room, so I went with it. We don’t have to worry about manners too much, and as Illness-san said, it's better for us to enjoy the meal at our own pace.
Well, anyhow, just like that, we arrived at the restaurant I had looked into beforehand, and the staff guided us to the private room but...... Arehh? This room is more luxurious than I expected...... For a moment, I thought I had mistakenly walked into a super high-end restaurant with a dress code, as the room was so beautiful and spacious.
[......This room is more impressive than I thought.]
[Indeeeeed. This is just my gueeeeess, but it's probably a room intended for high-ranking nobleeeees. If I were to compare it to Kaito-sama's woooorld....... This would be a VIP room, isn't iiiiiiit?]
[Ahh, so it's something like a VIP room huh...... Now that you mention it, when I reserved the course meal, they asked me for a budget limit, and I told them there wasn't one. Maybe that's why they mistook me for a noble.]
[Or perhaaaaps, as this restaurant is often used by nobleeeees, they might already know about Kaito-samaaaa?]
[Milady has theeeeese...... peculiar connections through introductions from those who handle modeeeels, so I believe she does have the affinity for iiiiiiit.]
[......Ahh, I see.]
Right, she did buy a lot of those expensive dragon models...... It makes sense that she used the connections she made back then to source tabletop interiors as well.
[The other one is a jewelry stooooore. It was established about a year ago, but it seems to be doing quite weeeeell.]
[A jewelry store...... Ahh, could those be jewelry from the Blue Diamonds and Ice Crystals Isis-san gave her?]
[Yeeees. The jewelry store also includes thooooose, but after thaaaaat, her connections also expandeeeeed, allowing her to consistently source high-quality geeeeeems, so she decided to open the stoooooore.]
[I see......]
As to be expected of a Duchess, Lilia-san seems to be involved in a lot of different ventures. A jewelry store actually sounds like a smart move. If Sieg-san approves, they could even handle Sela's Midnight Diamonds, which would likely be quite profitable.
<Afterword>
Serious-senpai : [I think it's more like Lilia’s connections expanded dramatically thanks to Kaito, and as a result, she ended up getting involved in a lot of different things. As for the jewelry store, Lunamaria did make some foreshadowing comments about it, so it feels like that plot point has finally been picked up after a few years......]
