After admiring the surroundings with Olivia-san for some time, we returned to the Cathedral, because of Olivia-san’s potential to return to the Cathedral immediately, after which went again outdoors once more, trying out the opposite shops on the way in which to Kaori-san’s restaurant.

We had been fairly leisurely and took our time strolling, so by the point we arrived at Kaori-san’s restaurant, the solar had set and it was meal time.

Once I opened the door, Kaori-san, who was washing dishes on the counter, seen my go to and gave me a vivid smile.

[Welcome, Kaito-kun! You came just at the right time, I’ve just finished serving the customers…… Now, now, come sit here at the counter.]

[Excuse our intrusion then. I was wondering what to do if it was too crowded to sit down, so I’m glad.]

[Ahaha, we’re a Set-meal Restaurant, so it’s usually crowded during the daytime when there are many tourists. We don’t handle much alcohol, so we’re rather empty at night.]

Now that she talked about it, her store isn’t a bar, however a set-meal restaurant, so it in all probability wouldn’t be crowded at night time. For the reason that meals she serves are cuisines from one other world, vacationers would in all probability be her predominant clientele, and there are in all probability not many vacationers strolling round throughout the late hours of the day.

With this in thoughts, I sat down on the counter with Olivia-san, and there Kaori-san checked out me with a smile on her face.

[Even so, you’ve come with quite the beauty here. I sure can’t underestimate you, Kaito-kun~~ Is she your girlfriend? Even so…… Hmmm, have I seen her somewhere?]

[Ah~~ No, she is……]

Having stated that a lot, I paused, shifting my gaze across the retailer. I had informed Kaori-san that I used to be going to see the Founder Olivia-san as we speak, however I checked simply in case there have been different prospects within the restaurant, as a result of there was a chance that it might trigger a commotion.

However thankfully, there gave the impression to be no different prospects, so I felt relieved and answered Kaori-san’s query.

[Look, I mentioned about it during the day, right? That I’m going to see Founder-san…… This is the Founder, Olivia-san.]

[……………………]

[Ahh~~ It’s Founder-sama huh, I didn’t recognize you because you’re wearing a different outfit than your usual———–Eeeeeehhhhhhh!?]

Following my introduction, Olivia-san barely nodded in greeting, to which Kaori-san responded with a smile, however then she immediately backed away from her.

I had a hunch about this earlier, but it surely appeared like she actually handed my phrases earlier off as a joke.

[F- Founder-sama!? W- W- Why is Founder-sama…… Abababa, y- your words earlier weren’t a joke!?]

[I had thought that might be the case, but you really thought I was joking huh.]

[Of course I would think of it like that! She isn’t someone just about anyone can mee, you know!?]

Kaori-san gave the impression to be in fairly a panic, however after a short time, she regained her composure, and with a considerably shocked look on her face, she spoke.

[……Haahhh…… However, I see, I kinda get it now.]

[You got it? What is it?]

[Kaito-kun’s someone related to the shrine! You were rich, so maybe one of the Gods liked you and gave you a good position? Because of that, you have come here to say hello to Founder-sama.]

Hmmm, I suppose she actually isn’t off the mark. In a broader sense, you can say that I’m associated to them, and as for being appreciated by a God, that’s precisely proper.

As I used to be fascinated about this, Kaori-san seemed a little bit offended as she known as out to me.

[However, that won’t do, Kaito-kun.Of course, otherworld cuisine may be rare, but you don’t entertain your boss in a Set-meal Restaurant…… No, of course, I’ll do my best to show my skills, but I don’t know if she’d be satisfied, you know? Wouldn’t that affect your career prospects?]

[……Shopkeeper, can I tell you something?]

[Yesh!? W- W- What is it?]

At that second, Olivia-san spoke up for the primary time, and Kaori-san, who was spoken to, straightened her posture, wanting moderately tense.

Judging from her perspective, I suppose Olivia-san, the consultant of town, may be one thing like a King of the Friendship Metropolis.

[I myself have a lot of things I don’t know, and I don’t consider ignorance to be a sin. However, there were words you said that I couldn’t overlook, so I would like to correct them.]

[C- Correct? What is it?]

[Listen here, okay…… If you are referring to our position, “Miyama Kaito-sama would be my superior, and I, his subordinate”.]

[Eeeehhhh…… W- Why…… Who exactly is Kaito-kun? Is he a fixer? The shadow ruler of the world?]

[I suppose that’s generally correct.]

[No, no, no…… That’s completely wrong.]

The story is getting outrageous, so I hurriedly corrected them.

No, wait a second…… If I think about Alice as the true shadow ruler of the world…… Doesn’t that imply their phrases weren’t precisely fallacious?

Anyway, I really feel like I ought to correctly clarify this matter first.

Severe-senpai : [If you think of Shallow Vernal as the public ruler and Alice as the shadow ruler of the world…… I think her perception of Kaito as a fixer is indeed generally correct.]

? ? ? : [I doubt he’ll ever actually get involved in politics, but he’s well-connected enough to do whatever he wants if he wants to.]
