So, Kite, what do you want?
'Oh, well I'm going to the Treasure Festival, and I thought I'd get ready for it.

　Alice asks me, shaking her long blonde hair, and I tell her why I came here in the first place.
　The fact that she's no longer wearing a costume makes her look somehow different.
　If you don't take off your mask and don't talk, I'd say you look like a loose-fitting, beautiful girl.　My personality is ruining everything, but....

Wow, the Treasure Festival? Leave it to me!　Our store has everything 'other than food'!
Yeah?　Why isn't there any food?
Of course it's because I'd eat it myself if it was there!
....

　What's the matter with me, I feel so disappointed.......is it really okay to ask this guy?　No, I don't think it's going to be okay.
　Anyway, let's buy five of the cheapest things we can and go home.

By the way, Kite, is this your first time at the Treasure Festival?
'What?　Yeah.
Then it's a good idea to start with the shoes.
Shoes?

　When I heard him say that shoes are recommended, I nodded my head, not knowing what he meant.

Yes, it's a common mistake that first-timers make, but since we're walking in the forest, there are some bad footholds, and it's hard to walk in hard shoes.
Yeah, well...

　It is true that most of the shoes in this world are leather shoes, and the shoes I'm wearing now are also quite hard.
　I have a pair of sneakers, but they don't match the clothes I'm wearing right now and they stand out from the surroundings, so I keep them in the magic box.

It's a good idea to buy them now and get used to them before the festival is in 10 days.
You mean I should get some soft shoes...
'Well that's where I suggest you go!　This one is made from the skin of the Aqualizard, which has excellent elasticity!　They stretch well and are sturdy, so unless you have a really out-of-the-box foot size, they fit!　Plus, it's dirt-resistant, so you can walk on the beastly path with confidence!
....

　Huh?　What a decent sales pitch, isn't it?
　I took the shoes that Alice offered me with a smile and looked at them in my hand, and they certainly look very soft and comfortable.
　In terms of color, they are a calm dark gray, and the design is nice without being too flashy.......I honestly wanted them.

'They look good, but these ... aren't they expensive?
"Well, we're using pretty good materials... how about 100R?
'What?　Buy.
Thank you!

　It was 10,000 yen...very reasonable. I think it was too cheap at any price, don't you think?
　Even though I'm not familiar with the prices of goods in this world, I can tell you that these shoes are pretty good.
　I'm happy to be able to buy a good-looking item at a low price, but.......seeing the impatient appeal for lack of money that I made earlier, I can't help but be concerned about Alice's pocketbook situation.

''........Isn't that too cheap?　This is going to cost Alice a lot of money....
'What?　No, it's not...because it's 'my shoes' and I picked the materials myself.
Oh, really? Are Aqualithades pretty easy to hunt?
They're only 3-meter long lizards, and they're pretty simple.
....

　A three-meter-long lizard is a monster enough, isn't it?　Huh?　How can people in this world hunt a 3 meter long lizard or something normal?　What's that, I'm scared.
　In front of my slightly stunned face, Alice moves in front of the shelves where weapons such as knives and swords are lined up.

"If you're looking for a harvest knife, this is it!　From the looks of it, Kite-san isn't used to handling it, and I like the simple design.
Oh, really?
Yes, it's no laughing matter if you cut your own hand or something like that. The blade should be short and not curved....Okay, how about this?
What's that?
The material is electrum, which is a little heavy, but it's very stable. The biggest feature is that there is a magical crystal in the center of the blade, and the blade of the wind expands when you put magic power into it. So even an amateur can cut it easily. Since the magic crystal is a good one, it won't run out of magic power to use it normally. It's a different story if you force a large amount of magic power into it and make the blade huge.

　I've taken out something that looks great again.
　This is a type of magic tool, after all, it is said to be able to cut properly even if you are not good at handling a knife by deploying a blade of magic power.
　It is a pale golden blade, the handle is also finely crafted, and it is a piece of art that seems to have value.
　It's really expensive this time........I remember seeing something similar to this when I went to the magic tool market with Kuro before. As I recall, it was a bit larger, but I think it was about R2000.
　I'm sure you'll find that 200,000 for a single knife seems pretty expensive, but Kuro also said that's about the right amount for a magic tool that can also be used as a weapon.

'Hey, what can I say, it looks good, but it looks really expensive.
It's certainly more expensive than the shoes I just mentioned........I'd say R500?
...buy.
Thank you!

　It was surprisingly cheap.
　I mean, it was too cheap at any price. Could this be........

Hey, Alice. It's not possible for this to be...
'What?　Yes, I made it.
I knew it.
I make most of our products myself... we don't have enough money to buy them from other suppliers.

　I look around the shop, surprised at his words.
　Shoes, clothes, accessories, weapons, magic tools.......did Alice make all of this?　And this guy is a hell of a lot of fun.
　He can make shoes, he can sew clothes, he has a good sense for making accessories, he can blacksmith, he can get his own materials, and all of his products are so good that you'd think they were professional work.
　........How can he be so poor that he can't even eat a decent meal when he has such high specifications?　

"...why isn't this store in vogue when they have so much good stuff for so cheap?
I don't know why, but most of the customers leave as soon as the door is opened. I don't know why, but most of the customers leave the moment the door is opened. Is it because of the bad decorations in the restaurant?
....

　No, I'm pretty sure that's just the owner of the store in his costume making his rounds, isn't it?　That's what I was going to do, and...
　No, no, no, no, no, no, then there are plenty of other ways to make money from that...

'No, if you can't sell it in the store, why don't you just wholesale it somewhere else or something...'
Huh?
'No, so if you can make something this good, wouldn't you buy it if you wholesale it to the Chamber of Commerce or something?
I hadn't thought of that.

　What can I say, he's a real disappointment. It's a very high specs to be able to earn a lot of money with room to spare, but his character or rather his usual behavior is ruining it all.
　It's not that I don't like the idea of it, but I have a feeling that it will fail if I were to wholesale it to the Chamber of Commerce or something.

But, speaking of which, I went to apply to open a store before, but... I almost got knocked back, and I was told not to come back.
Didn't he go in a costume?
'What?　Of course you do, of course you do?
You're an idiot, right?
I've been told that a lot.

　Correction, I already failed.
　It's not good. His specs are too high, but it's too deadly disappointing.
　No, really, I've often said that God doesn't give two things.

(I'm not giving you abilities, though?)

　Shut up, natural goddess.

　Dear Mom, Dad - the items in Alice's shop were all first class, but unfortunately, Alice - she seemed to be hopelessly lacking in business acumen.
