Chapter 15 – Saporabi and Royal Promenade 2
I was thinking about the tour course while watching Alessia-san and Claretta-san cuddling the support staff, but there was no end in sight for the two of them. I should call out to them and go on to the next one.
Is it okay to leave the support staff as it is? It doesn’t seem to reduce my magic power. …If I summon a lot of them, won’t they start to run amok in groups like in some panic movie? I’m a little scared that Creator God-sama might have put in some weird gimmick.
“Alessia-san and Claretta-san, we’d better get going.”
My voice brings them back to their senses with a startled look on their faces. When they understood the situation, they apologized a little shyly.
“What is this child’s name, Wataru-san?”
Claretta-san suddenly asked me.
“Eh? Its name? I checked the screen, but there’s nothing on it, and… it doesn’t seem to have a name.”
“Is that so? But it’s kind of sad if it doesn’t have a name to call it, isn’t it?”
Ah, come to think of it, I heard that she also gave names to the stuffed toys she took from the ufo catcher. I was a little taken aback, but don’t tell anyone, okay?
“But I’m sure I’ll be summoning them to other stores as well, so it’s hard to name every single one of them.”
Even the name of the ship I had bought was a difficult decision to make, but if the same type of support staff were to be summoned, a name would be too difficult a task.
“Is that so…? Can you decide on a name for the species, or rather, a way to call this child in general? It would be pitiful to call them just horned rabbits.”
It would be more convenient to have an overall name. Horned rabbit… Support staff… Saporabi… It’s easy to understand. [T/n: Sapo from Sapoto/Support. Rabi from the rabbit.]
“Then, let’s call the whole horned rabbit “Saporabi,” shall we? Oh, by the way, I named this luxury liner Castle.”
“Saporabi and the Castle… aren’t you good at thinking of names, Wataru-san?”
Alessia-san, aren’t you indirectly dissing my sense of naming? Well, I’m aware of it.
“I’m not very good at it. It’s difficult.”
“Well, it’s certainly difficult. Saporabi, Castle. I will make sure to memorize it.”
Well, I hope it was enough to convince them. I don’t want to go into too much detail about the name; it could be dangerous.
“Well, I guess we’d better move on.”
We walked out of the store and walked along the Royal Promenade in the light shining through the large glass dome.
“Master, that’s pizza, isn’t it?”
“Hmm? Yes, that’s right. That’s the proper pizza store that I made in Siena Village. We’re going to eat in the main dining room today, so we’ll come back next time. Well, we’re going to eat at all the restaurants on the ship.”
“Fufu, I’m looking forward to it.”
“Wataru-san, there are that many restaurants? Are they good?”
Carla-san is biting it. Her eyes are sparkling. It doesn’t look like she’s drooling… her anticipation level is maxed out.
“Yes, there’s so much; I don’t think we could eat it all in one day; we’re going to enjoy the Castle for a month. After you’ve eaten at all of the restaurants, you can go back to your favorites as often as you like, so you can look forward to it.”
“Yes, I’m looking forward to it.”
Rimu, who had been listening to the conversation over my head, jumps at the happy Carla-san.
“Wataru-san, what’s wrong with Rimu-chan?”
“…He said he’s going to follow Carla-san when you go out to eat.”
Rimu… Certainly, if he follows Carla-san, he will be able to eat a lot of food, but… I was feeling a little sad, and Fuu-chan also jumped on Carla-san. The reason seems to be the same.
“Fufu, Rimu-chan, Fuu-chan, let’s eat a lot together.”
The gluttonous trio is now complete in an unexpected way. If all the food on board was to be paid for, I’d have to worry a great deal about food expenses.
“Wataru-san, this is the magic vehicle from the movie, isn’t it?”
What Marina-san asked me was a… car. A ship with a town on board and a car on display… I don’t understand what that means.
If I couldn’t afford an amphibious car, I would have tried to use this car somehow. It seems difficult, though, because the effect of indestructibility would have been affected.
Come to think of it, they didn’t ask about the car in the movie, either. Magic vehicle? Did they have an understanding of it?
“It’s a vehicle called a car in my world.”
It looks cool. It must be an old car, but it has a unique atmosphere. I wonder if it’s a great car because it’s being carried on a luxury liner. If I had known much about cars, I might have been overjoyed.
“It’s amazing. It’s very valuable!”
Marina-san’s tension soared. I heard there is a vehicle called a magic vehicle. Then maybe an amphibious car would be less conspicuous. No, she said it’s valuable. How valuable is it?
“I’ve never seen a magic vehicle before. Is it as valuable as a magic boat?”
“Yes… they are less likely to be discovered than large magic ships. I’ve heard that some countries don’t even have them.”
That’s the level of fuss that would be made if we were on board. Why is that? Cars are more likely to be found, though.
“In my world, as you have seen in the movies, there were more magic vehicles than magic ships, but is it different in this world?”
After a little hesitation, Marina-san answered.
There are many magic vehicles found, but almost all of them are broken. But although they have been studied, they have not been understood in the same way as the magic ship.”
…You mean to say that the magic vehicles were not enchanted for protection because they are easier to use than the magic ships? That would limit the use of amphibious cars.
“I can now summon something similar to a magic vehicle, but that would be a problem, wouldn’t it?”
“…It would be a big problem if found out.”
Not only Marina-san but the other ladies nodded their heads.
“Wataru-san’s ability is extraordinary. It may be natural because it’s an ability given by Creator God-sama… but if it’s just big attention and it’s great on land too, the chances of them coming to recruit you with risk will increase.”
Alessia-san, please don’t say that with a serious face. I’m scared. It’s true that I’ve never even seen a magic vehicle or something like that… I wonder if I could do something with the ship disguise? If I disguise it like a carriage and disguise the horse shape in front of it, can I get away with it from a distance? …I’d have to try a lot of things to do this too.
“Ah, I’ll think it over. Shall we take a tour of the ship now?”
Let’s postpone the problem. I’m not that attached to land-based activities. Land doesn’t matter when you’re holed up on a luxury liner. It would be fun just to ride around in a place where there are no people.
We visit food shops, bars, and so on.
“What kind of store is this, Wataru-san?”
“…This is a store that sells alcohol, it seems.”
When I answered Alessia-san, the eyes of Alessia-san and the other alcohol-loving group members lit up. They looked like they wanted to go into the bar, too, so there would be no stopping them here.
Once inside, I saw a line of high-end liquors that I had never seen or drunk before, but I had heard of them. I make enough money to buy one, but I don’t know what liquor tastes like. What’s the point of drinking it? Will I be able to taste it when I get used to drinking it?
“I see that the alcohol is in this beautiful bowl. …Hey Wataru-san, am I wrong that the price of the alcohol ranges from a few dozen copper coins to a few dozen silver coins? It’s this little vessel, right? They don’t sell it in kegs, do they?”
“I don’t know, I’ve never had it myself, but this is a collection of some of the finest liquors in my world.
At my words, the eyes of the alcohol-loving group turn lusty.
“I see, so it’s a high-class drink in Wataru-san’s world.”
Marina-san, Ilma-san, and Ines gather around to discuss the matter.
“I’d like to try it.” “I’ll buy it.” “The question is which grade to try first.” “I’m glad I saved up the allowance Master gave me.”
They’re ready to buy. Ines is a natural participant in the consultation. Isn’t the allowance you’ve been saving up for spending at the casino?
“Everyone, there are many bars in the casino, so it would be better to drink at one of them and buy the drinks you like.”
The group of drink lovers agreed with my words, but their eyes became even more suspicious as they checked out the bars. Anyway, we left the bar and looked at the next store.
“This is… the store that sells cosmetics, isn’t it?”
“Cosmetics?” “Is it a beauty shop?” “What kind of products are there?”
The women were very excited.
“Y-yes, well, yes, but I don’t know anything about cosmetics. Oh, right, I’ll summon Saporabi.”
For the time being, I summoned Saporabi, and a Saporabi in a female shopkeeper-like uniform appeared. Are there males and females? I don’t know what the difference is except for the clothes.
“Saporabi, please explain about the cosmetics.”
“…..”
Huh? Doesn’t the minimum job description include explaining cosmetics? Can they speak in the first place?
“Um, can Saporabi speak?”
She nodded her head and then shook her head to the side… Which is it?
“Are there cases where you can speak and cases where you can’t? And you can’t speak in this job?”
She nodded her head again. I wonder if they can speak in jobs where there is vocalization, for example, on stage? Even if it’s a clerk in a store or something like that, should they be able to speak in explaining products… Doesn’t the minimum job include explaining products? Is it chore-only?
“It seems she can’t explain the products. What should we do? Would you like to try it at random?”
“Wait, Wataru-san, will you appoint me as a staff member of this store?”
Oh, Ilma-san, you are so smart. That way, you could understand how to use the products.
“I understand. I will appoint Ilma-san as a staff member.”
When I appointed her to the staff, a magic circle of light was sucked into Ilma-san.
“Wow, this is amazing. I didn’t know Wataru-san’s world was so concerned with beauty. It’s amazing.”
Ilma-san’s sex appeal is more amazing as she is so excited. A bewitching sexuality is being radiated. It is erotic. The women swarmed around such an erotic Ilma-san.
Spell-like words started to be exchanged among the women. …It would be quicker if I appointed all of them to the staff of this store, but…my words don’t reach them.
The women’s quest for beauty is extraordinary. They probably didn’t hear me, but I just said a few words and left the store. My voice didn’t reach the ladies, but Fuu-chan seemed to have heard me and jumped on me.
I bought a cup of coffee, got some cupcakes, and sat down on the bench. I gave cupcakes to Rimu and Fuu-chan and played with them.
It’s going to take a while, so we should take it easy. It’s possible that everyone will become even more beautiful. I can’t even imagine it, but I wonder if I can control my desires.
While we were relaxing and playing, the women came out.
“I’m sorry, Wataru-san. I got carried away.”
Alessia-san apologized sincerely. The other women also bowed their heads. But it seems that all of them are buying the products.
“Haha, I also had fun with Rimu and Fuu-chan, so I don’t mind. Let’s see what’s next.”
I look around the rest of the store and see… Huh? Is this okay? Is it okay that I can get it? In the store in front of me are video cameras and digital cameras.
What I have always wanted is right in front of me. Then there’s the possibility of getting a computer or a tablet, even though they don’t have internet access… Will I be able to use it much if I don’t have internet access? Oh well, good. For now, it’s a digital camera.
With it, I can capture images and videos of wonderful sights. …But if they checked their appearance seriously… they might stop wearing no-bra T-shirts, bathing suits, or other ero dresses.
“What’s wrong, Wataru-san? What was that?”
Oh no, if I looked at them dumbfounded, they would be interested in it. Should I fool around with it or be honest about it? …Let’s hide the pictures and videos that look a little sexy. They might not particularly care. And I’d like to record them with impunity.
“That’s called a camera. It’s a tool that allows you to keep a picture of yourself. I’ll buy one, and we can try it out.”
I went into the store and wondered which one to buy. I don’t know much about cameras at all. I’ve only used cheap digital cameras or smartphone cameras. Whoa, there’s a Sony product. I don’t know much about them, but I wonder if Japanese manufacturers are easier to use.
Whether it’s a video camera or a regular digital camera… let’s decide after looking at it. As I read the description, a camcorder called HDR-PJ680 caught my eye. It seems to be the latest model.
The description says that it has 30x optical zoom, but to be honest, I don’t really understand it. But it has a projector function… and this one is very good… and it can project recorded video. Seven silver coins…? I’ll take this one.
I choose a product, a coin slot appears, and I buy it. I walked out of the store, opened the box, and got my digital camera ready.
At first, it would be better if the camera didn’t capture too much breast swinging and such. I ask the ladies to line up side by side and introduce themselves.
After everyone has introduced themselves, we watch the video together. Since I was holding the camera, I was surrounded by the women, and we all watched it together. …It smells good. Oh, it’s soft…
They make a fuss about the fact that they are in the video, and they are happily fussing about how uncomfortable they sound in their own voices during the self-introduction. Thank goodness I didn’t say anything about my soul being taken.
I thought they would want a camera, but they don’t seem to have the sense to use it by themselves, probably because they don’t have the culture to preserve memories in images. Well, if I record a lot, they will want one soon.
