After the fanatic (Lunamaria-san) is safely collected by the guardian (Lilia-san), me and Isis-san turn our attention to the stage where the auction is taking place again.
　It seems that not only the Sixth King, but also noblemen from various countries are offering their goods, and it looks like it's very exciting.

''Now, the next item is from........Phantom King-sama. The item is here........an item not to be missed by nobles, adventurers and knights alike. That's right, it's a weapon made by the 'Legendary Blacksmith Crafty'!
...Yeah?

　With the moderator's words, a number of weapons are laid out on the stage. There are swords and spears, axes and daggers, and in rare cases, even morning stars.
　From a distance, even as an amateur, I could see that all of the weapons were top-notch, but.......more importantly, I was curious about something.

''........Kite?　........that.......do you want it?
'Oh, no, no, I'm not... I'm just wondering about something...'

　While vaguely answering Isis-san's question, I take out my magic box. As I recall, the binoculars I bought before I attended the Treasure Festival... were there!
　Honestly, I can't see them clearly from this distance, so items that allow me to see far away are essential to confirm my doubts.

''First of all, this sword here is the Treasure Sword Allodant, and this axe here is the Moon Axe........................All of them are legendary items that anyone who fights with a weapon in their hand will long for at least once!　That's a whopping ten points!　To have this many of Crafty's works that are now only legendary... I guess you could say he's the king of vision.

　The moderator introduces the weapons in order, and I look through the binoculars while I listen to his words.
　Thanks to the binoculars, I could see the weapons more clearly, and they all seemed to radiate a kind of aura, unashamedly living up to the word "one of the legends".
　........well, let's leave it at that.......yeah. I took a closer look and was sure of it. I knew that weapon was........

Alice, are you there?
"Yes, yes, yes, what is it?
The legendary Blacksmith Crafty...
'Oh, yes. It's Alice~!

　I knew it was you!　I mean, it's being introduced in an ostentatious manner, but in essence, they're just trying to get rid of their inventory in the name of the Sixth King Festival....

''No, no, the weapons you made, Alice, are extremely popular!　There's a lot of demon swords and holy swords that are called demon swords or holy swords!
''Well I know you're a high spec for nothing but didn't you call yourself a demon sword or something?''
By the way, the name I gave to the one called the Treasure Sword Arodant is 'Forty-eight-chan'.

　It's a terrible name. But in reality, Alice must have really just made it at random to pass the time. Even so, this guy's technology is too amazing and he has the ability to prepare the most ridiculous materials, that's why it looks like that.
　Once again, as I felt Alice's high specs and the awfulness of the naming, the auction was underway before I knew it.

''Treasure Sword Arodant, for 9 white gold coins, you are the 88th bidder!
Hey, Alice.
What's up?
How much does that sword cost at your grocery store?
'Six pieces of silver'.
....

　An item that normally sells for 60,000 yen sold for 90 million yen.......hmmm.... Alice's grocery store is actually a legendary treasure trove.......if only the owner was decent, it would have become a very popular store, wouldn't it?
　Or rather, the stupidity of Alice's stupidity in keeping her customers at bay while having that many items is amazing.

''........Chartier......can do......a lot of things......right?
Yeah, well, I'm kind of proud of the amount of things I can do... well, as far as blacksmithing goes, I don't do nearly as much these days.
"...why?
Kite, you didn't buy me a weapon...

　
　Really, for some reason, Alice is very good at business with me........

The first thing that comes to mind is the addition of 'high-grade pet food' as a new product, Kite-san?
You'll need at least 100 bags.
Yessir!

　Bummer, but I'll buy it. I mean, the choice of new products is too accurate. I was just thinking about upgrading the food I feed Belle and Lynn. I want to feed the two cuties something good, and I'm sure the pet food Alice makes would be amazing.

'.........Chartier.......and sewing......well?
Huh?　Yeah, I'm pretty good at it, right?
Well I'd like you to tell me about it.
I don't mind, but what are you going to make?
I'd like to knit a scarf ... for Kite.

　And she is this archangel. What a wonderful woman, really, Isis. I'm sure she's happy with her hand-knit scarf and all.
　After the month of light, the season is approaching autumn, so the timing is perfect.

　Touched by Isis-san's love, I spoke in a whisper to Alice, who was about to finish her story and disappear.

''........Alice......tell me too.''
What about my sweetheart, Alice?
Of course I knit.
''.........Ok. As usual, it's a surprise for Isis-san.

　Alice immediately knew that I wanted to prepare a surprise for Isis-san in return, and she smiled and nodded and disappeared.

　Dear Mom and Dad - what a longing situation to get a hand-knit scarf from her as a gift. To be honest, I'm really looking forward to it now. But of course, I don't want to just get it, and I'll make it with as much love and care as Isis-san, too.
