We continue to look around the festival with Mr. Isis, dismayed by Alice appearing everywhere.
　We relax and enjoy our date with a ring toss called a ring target, and look at a store that sells used books.

''Heh.......they sell clothes too, right? Does this mean they're second-hand?
"No ... no ... maybe ... new ... this street is ... .... new designers ... a lot of them.
I see, that's why there are so many clothes with designs I've never seen before.

　Apparently, this street is filled with new designers who are trying to make a name for themselves. Indeed, the guests invited to the Six Kings Festival are all people who have a certain level of recognition from the Six Kings... many of them have high status and financial power.
　It's effective in terms of making connections, and many of those people with such wealth and status would have a preference for unusual things. So this street is a useful place for new designers.
　And inevitably, there seems to be a lot of effort put into the products they make, especially one-of-a-kind and luxurious formal wear and dresses.

'Come to think of it, Isis-san is very stylish, isn't it?
Yeah?

　Ms. Isis prefers to wear ruffled, gothic style clothes, but I feel like she has quite a variety of them.
　The dresses I see most often are in the light blue and blue shades, but I remember seeing several other colors of gothic style dresses as well.
　And it's not just the colors that are different, the designs are different as well, and I have the impression that they are quite particular about what they wear.

''Yes, she wears all sorts of cute clothes...Do you have a favorite clothing store somewhere?''
''Well no I didn't buy my clothes ... my clothes ... with Chromeaina's clothes. .... "Made with Magic".
"...with Black's clothes?　Is that that long coat that changes shape at will?
....convenient.

　I see, just like Black's interesting long coat that turns into wings and tatami mats, he materializes magic power into clothing....
　If that's the case, it can be changed into any number of forms at the will of the sorcerer, and the fact that it's a lump of magic seems to make it excellent in terms of defense and ease of movement.

　I'm sure it would be useful if I could do it too, but according to what I heard from Kuro before, the materialization of magic power seems to be quite difficult magic. Yeah, well, I'll just buy it from Alice quietly.

It's a good idea to have a good time.
Oh, oh?

　As Isis said this, she showed me how to practice changing the color of the clothes she was wearing from blue to white and adding more ruffles.
　Hmmm. The sight of her in a white frilly dress is an unmistakable angel.

''.........Kite.......what color clothes......would look good on me?''
''Hmmm. The clothes I personally wear most often are black... but I think a pale whitish light blue or some other light shade would look good on you, Isis-san.

　Somehow, I feel like I would look good in an outfit with an image like snow. Wearing a pale light blue dress, she looks so cute, exactly like a snow fairy.

''........such a color?''
Yes, it looks good on you and, well, it's very pretty.
''Thank you ... thank you ... for saying that to Kite ... it makes me so ... happy.

　When I send a generous word of praise, Isis-san gives me a bemused smile.
　Seeing that pure and adorable smile, I suddenly felt embarrassed and swam my gaze, a little panicked.

''........Ah, Isis-san. There's an ice cream stall over there!　Since we're here, why don't we take a break and eat a little?
Yes.
All right, I'll get it. What flavor do you want, Mr. Isis?
...then chocolate.
Yes, sir. You'll have to wait for me!

　Somewhat forcefully, we changed the subject and headed to an ice cream stall that was a little ways away.

　The selection of the stall we arrived at seemed to be excellent in its own right, and there was a decent amount of chocolate flavor that Isis-san had requested.
　For me personally, I think the number one ice cream is green tea... Unfortunately, they didn't seem to sell green tea, so I decided to buy the strawberry ice cream.

　But when it came time to pay for my order, I realized a crucial fact.
　d*mn it, I had used up all the coins below silver when I was looking around. All I have now are gold and white gold coins.

　As expected, paying for two ice creams that cost 1R each with gold coins.......it's probably on the level of harassment now.
　However, Isis-san also doesn't have any coins less than white gold coins. In that case...........................it can't be helped. It's my fault for not having crapped out, so I'll just pay with gold coins and say I don't need the change.
　I feel like I'm wasting my money, but honestly, I wanted to say it at least once.

'Yes, just fine. Thank you.
"...what?　Huh?

　As I was thinking about paying with gold coins, I heard the shopkeeper's voice interrupt my thoughts. When I turned my head in response to the voice, the owner was holding out two ice creams to me while tilting his head.

'.........Oh, I haven't paid yet.......right?
'What?　"I got it from your lady friend."?
"...what?　I'm with--what?

　I didn't believe that Isis-san had a 1R coin, but when she said she was my companion, I reflexively moved my gaze to the side... and my thoughts stopped completely.
　It's a good thing that you're not going to have to worry about the fact that you're not going to have to worry about the fact that you're not going to have to worry about the fact that you're not going to have to worry about the fact that you're not going to have to worry about it.

　From the moment I saw her, I was so upset that I couldn't speak to her. My head is completely blank, my heart is beating frighteningly fast, and I can feel sweat pouring out of my body, but my body is not moving at all, as if I were petrified.

　That's ridiculous........impossible.......because.......what?　No, why.........

...Mother...?

　When the voice finally comes out of my mouth, the woman has already ... the woman has disappeared into the crowd.

　Dear Mom, Dad - I know it's just a stranger's empty likeness. I've heard that there are three people in the world that look like you. But even so, I can't help but be upset that the woman I saw earlier is exactly like my mom - exactly the same.
