Walking along the beach where the summer sunshine shines, I pick up the occasional shell or sea glass I find.
　The only thing that matters is that I have Shiro-san's blessing and the people I'm with are all competent people who are quicker to be counted from the top of the world, so it's not really a problem.

　I decided to join Isis and Fate in collecting seashells, but when you look for seashells like this, you'd be surprised at how many seashells and sea glass you can find.
　Maybe it's because it's a different world, but there are also shells that have a shape I've never seen on Earth, so this is quite fun. However, what can I say, although it's obvious........there are some parts that don't go well.

'....Hey, Kai-chan?
What is it, Miss Fate?
Surprisingly, differences can make a difference.
Well.....

　As I speak, Fate and I have the seashells and sea glass we've collected so far in our hands. I worked very hard to collect them, and although Fate-san's pace is slow due to her boredom during the collection process, she has collected a good number of them.
　That's why there are quite a variety of shells and other items on my palms and Fate-san's....

''Why is that?　Don't the shells and stuff Ai is picking up look a lot more beautiful than ours?
To be honest, I'm inclined to agree.
''Well ... is it?　...I think yours is beautiful too... but...

　Isis-san was nodding her head at me and Fate-san's words, but to begin with, the amount they're picking up is far more than we are. And even so, the shells and other shells are beautifully shaped, and the sea glass is as brightly colored as jewelry.
　In contrast, the seashells that Fate and I are collecting are not bad, but many of them are a little distorted or missing.
　It's not to the extent that the grass next to us looks blue or anything like that, but objectively speaking, Isis-san has found more beautiful shells than we have, much earlier than us.

'Well, I don't want to use my authority for this kind of thing, and I haven't done anything either, but... even Ai-chan, you don't feel like you're interfering with the law of cause and effect, do you?　How can you find so many beautiful shells to crunch?　I knew you were looking at the wrong thing?
'Well I don't think it's that much of a difference... but a little. ...maybe I'm good at finding out...?　........behind Fate's right leg......there's another beautiful one there......
'What?　Oh, it's true.

　Hmm, I guess it's just a matter of experience, as Fate says. It's a good thing that you have a hobby of collecting various things from the start, and finding something like this may be your forte.

''By the way, Isis-san, I think we've already gathered quite a few of them, but...''
Well.....it's time to........make something..........

　After nodding at my words, Isis-san lightly waved her hand and a wooden table and what looked like a parasol made of ice appeared.
　I see, making things on the beach is quite a neat thing to do. And the ice parasol is very cool and has a nice atmosphere.

The bottle is a bit difficult to make, so I think an hourglass would be good..." "An hourglass is I'll have it ready for you ... just stick it on ... and you'll be fine.
I see. I'm not very good at making things, but I think I can do this.
No, I'll do it properly when I get to this point.

　The hourglass that Isis-san prepared for us was a decently large size, about 20-30 cm, and it seemed to be easy to decorate it.
　Seeing Fate-san muttering a word of trouble for the time being, I chuckled along with Isis-san, and we each.......took the tools that Isis-san had prepared for us and began to decorate the hourglass.
　Well, though, we didn't work silently, we were chatting while doing so.......

''........Speaking of which, Ai-chan, I heard that you came under my command?''
Well ... the other day ... one more ... person ... comes in.
'Oh, I heard it too. Mr. Polaris... was it?

　The topic of conversation is about Isis-san's subordinates, and although it hasn't been long since Isis-san joined her subordinates, it seems that Isis-san's new subordinates have joined her as soon as possible.
　His name seems to be Polaris-san, and on the same day, I received a hummingbird from Isis-san that I could tell she was excited by the text alone.
　After nodding at my words, Isis-san told us about Polaris-san with a heartfelt look of happiness on her face.

　Isis-san often utters the phrase "...if Kite is happy.......I'm happy too.......", but right now, that feeling I could understand it very well.
　Looking at the happy expression on Isis-san's face as she spoke, I could feel that she was just as happy as I was.

　........And although this is a complete aside, it seems that at the time we were talking about this, the person himself was having a mock battle with Iris-san.
