So, even if you gamble, you have to add up to it.

I'm talking about you!

　My head is starting to hurt.
　I wish I could just let it go and say that I got what I deserved, but unfortunately, that's not an option for my character.
　I'll continue to visit the site often to see how things are going.
　While thinking about this, I take out a red bear sandwich from the magic box, which I bought a red bear sandwich that I liked to eat before and will have again today when I get home.

'Look, don't just eat the fruit, eat this too,'
'What?　What is this, this candy that is gently offered to me after the whip...........................Kite, you are so nice!　I'm so nervous!
It's freaky.
'More whips in this vein!

　With another joke, Alice starts eating the red bear sandwich I served her.
　As I watch the scene, I think about the future.

　I'm going to be careful about how much I spend on gambling, but the problem is my income.
　To tell the truth, Alice's shop, according to her own account, has not had any customers at all.
　It's been nearly seven days since I was here, and I don't see how her life can improve under such conditions.

　That doesn't mean I know anything about running a business, and it's hard to make it popular.
　The problem is that the owner is too suspicious to begin with, and I don't think that will improve.
　Even if I do some shopping, it's not going to last forever.

Kite, why are you being so difficult?
No but yes. Do you have any recommendations on what to do in this store?
'Of course I have!　My masterpiece!
...a masterpiece?

　What is it, I have a very bad feeling about this.
　
I'm pulling more than one!

'How about it!　This stunning work!
What's that, in case you're wondering?
It's a costume!
....

　This guy is no good.
　He looks like he's doing his best to look smug, but I feel like punching him again.

'Oops, your face doubts the excellence of this product, doesn't it?　Hmmm, I don't want you to think of this stuffed animal as just a stuffed animal.
...Yeah?
This stuffed suit is filled with multiple magical crystals that automatically keep it at a comfortable temperature, and it also cleans up some of the dirt!　Plus, it's stretchy and feels great on the skin!　It's a wonderful product that even has a relaxing effect because it also emits a faint recovery magic!
What a waste of high performance!

　It has a body temperature control function and relaxing effect, it's automatically kept clean, and it feels great on the skin... but it's a stuffed animal.
　Its performance, which could be called a magic tool, is tremendous, but the shape ruins everything.

'Why.........is it a stuffed animal?'
''No, due to the fact that I have to put the Demon Crystal in it, I need a certain amount of thickness, right? Since I can't make it into clothes, I made it into a costume!
So, are you selling it?
I've never sold one!
"...why don't you make it a 'futon' or a 'coat'?
Huh?

　When I asked because it was simply a question, Alice froze as if time had stopped.

''No, so if you're there with a certain amount of thickness, if you make it a futon or a thick coat or something, even if it's a little expensive, a nobleman or something will buy it, right?　Especially since sleep is so important, and if you make it into a sleeping bag or something, you could sell it to adventurers.
Mr. Kite.
'Oh, no, it's a layman's idea, so if it's not technically possible, I don't blame you...'
You.... you're not... you're a genius...
....

　No, no, I managed to swallow the words that you're just too stupid.
　I don't think there's anything you can do about it when you're the first one to make it in costume in the first place...

It's true, that would sell like crazy!　Mr. Kite is awesome!
'No, I still don't see a future for customers in this store so you might as well wholesale it somewhere else.
Well no, but I'm banned from the Royal City Chamber of Commerce and...
If you're a thing, why don't I introduce you to someone else?

　Even with such a good product, I thought it would be difficult to sell it explosively because the store owner was hopeless.
　To begin with, Aris doesn't seem to have any desperate business acumen, and you don't know what kind of results you'll get if you leave it to him.
　In the meantime, we need you to have a stable income...it would be no laughing matter if you came to the store and found her dying a debilitating death.
　I'm sorry to say this, but I'll rely on Black's help.

''Huh?　Mr. Kite, you have a pipe to the Chamber of Commerce as well - which Chamber of Commerce is it?
Uh, the Sadech Magicians' Trade Association...
What?　And isn't that the top chamber of commerce!　Huh?　What?　Mr. Kite are you a king somewhere?
No, I just happen to know him and I'll ask him anyway, so you can make a sample for me.

　In the meantime, I'll talk to Black about it.
　In fact, the products look great, and I think they're good enough to go, except for the owner's personality.

Well, for now, for today....well, I'll buy some clothes.
'Really?　Thank you!　I think I'm going to fall in love with you, Kite!
Anyway, that's it until next time...
I'm going to have to play one more round-- Aah!
".........you're not going to get away with it the next time you come in if you're gambling your money away....
'Haha, yes!　Yes, sir!

　I really don't know why I got to know this guy.......I really hate my own character for not being able to leave people like this alone.
　Anyway, I'll just try to rehabilitate Alice for a while....and make sure she doesn't die a slow death.
　As I look at Alice, who quickly recovered and smiled at me as she recommended various products to me, I let out a big sigh as I thought about the future.





























　Before I knew it, it was past noon, and I walked down the street, feeling that I had been there longer than planned.
　As I was moving for a while, I suddenly noticed something strange.

　The road I'm currently walking down is not exactly a main street, but when I usually pass by, I would see some people passing by, but now I don't see any people at all.
　It may simply be that no one is passing by by by chance, but it was a strange silence to say the least.

''........Hey, you there.
'What?　What?

　When I was wondering about it, I was suddenly called out from behind, and when I turned around, there was a strange presence that far surpassed the sense of discomfort I had felt until just now.
　There was a soft, sphere-shaped object........lying on a sphere-shaped cushion floating in the air, and when viewed from the front, there was a purple-haired woman looking at me in a stance that looked as if she was blitzing.

　It's not like she's talking to anyone at least, she's full of stuff, she's more pretty than beautiful, and she's talking to you while languidly scratching her long, light purple hair.

'She's from another world, right?　I just wanted to ask you something, if that's okay?
Well, who are you?

　I tilt my head back to the woman who speaks to me, her reddish-purple eyes half-open to match her hair and looking sleepy, and I ask her back.

'Me?　Oh, I'm a thing.......what is it?　Ah~ well, that's a thing. My name is 'Fate' - nice to meet you~
Ah, yes. It's nice to meet you........well, my name is Kaito Miyama.
Yeah, it's nice to meet you, Kai-chan.
Kai-chan!

　With a lazy grin, Fate-san called me by a strange nickname.

　Dear Mom, Dad - I've been through a lot since I came back, but it looks like that's still going to be going on... and what can I say, I'll add more here. -- I've met new people.
