1082 – Date with Vier ③
I’m in a high-class chocolate retailer aimed for nobles, with a big ground and showcases of right here and there. There have been folks right here and there who gave the impression to be shopkeepers, however they didn’t name out to us, simply standing there as if they’d be at your service when you wanted them.
To be sincere, I’m the form of one who finds it arduous to say no when a clerk recommends one thing to me, so I’m grateful that they’ve a enterprise system. Nicely, since I’m at present with Dr. Vier in the mean time, it’s doable that they simply need to keep away from interrupting our dialog.
[……Miyama-kun, look at this.]
Dr. Vier whispered to me, so I moved my gaze and regarded on the showcase in entrance of her…… It was embellished with candies so lovely that I’d have believed it if somebody stated they’re jewellery.
And the value written on it…… was 30R per piece…… round 3000 Japanese yen.
[……That 30R isn’t for a box, but for a single piece? Do nobles often eat this level of food?]
[Hmmm, I guess even they won’t just thoughtlessly buy this stuff? However, appearances are important for nobles, so when they have guests, they’ll probably serve super expensive sweets like this, don’t you think?]
[I see……]
Lilia-san’s mansion apparently additionally had very high-level sweets and tea leaves, as one would count on from a Duchy, however I don’t keep in mind seeing something on the extent of this 30R per piece chocolate.
Nevertheless, that’s solely as a result of it’s one thing we eat frequently. I ponder if Lilia-san additionally serves luxurious items like these when different nobles come to go to?
Come to think about it, again when Kuro first formally visited Lilia-san’s mansion, I remembered she had ready some very fancy sweets. However sadly, these sweets had been fatally out of Kuro’s style……
Kuro’s interest is consuming whereas strolling, and you’ll inform from her guidebook that she is sort of the gourmand with regards to meals.
Nevertheless, as I discovered after attending to know her, Kuro’s style in meals and sweets are utterly totally different.
In terms of meals, she prefers sophisticated and costly dishes, and she or he would consider the general style together with the environment of the restaurant.
However with regards to sweets, Kuro prefers “these which can be simple to eat” as a prerequisite, and she or he tends to offer a really low score to sweets that look tough to eat.
Her analysis in the direction of child castellas needn’t be talked about, after I supply Kuro sweets, she is glad after I give her cookies, candies or different sweets that she will eat in a single chunk, relatively than a elaborate cake.
Nicely, placing that apart…… I ponder what we should always choose for the memento for Tre-san?
[Dr. Vier, I’d like to get your honest opinion……]
[Unnn?]
[What do you think she’ll appreciate more…… Super expensive chocolates that looked like jewels like this that cost several tens of Rs each…… or the simple chocolate truffles over there that the store had a larger portion?]
[100% the truffles. I mean, if you give it to Sister Tre, she’ll probably eat it right away without really checking its appearance.]
[……Right.]
I truthfully agree with Dr. Vier. It’s only a guess, however whether or not I gave her these jewel-looking candies or these peculiar chocolate truffles, Tre-san would simply say “Wooooow, high-class candies!”, earlier than consuming them instantly.
I feel it might be higher to offer her a lot of candies as an alternative……. I imply, along with her like that, I feel she’d be glad even when we had been to offer her barley candies as an alternative.
[For the time being, let’s buy some of the relatively large portioned chocolates…… but you also have some chocolates you’re interested in, right?]
[Unnn. To be honest, I’d like to know what it tastes like at least once.]
Placing apart the souvenirs for Tre-san, I’m considering what 30R candies would style like.
As I used to be eager about this, a close-by shopkeeper shortly approached us and barely bowed.
[……Excuse me for interrupting. Were you looking for expensive chocolates?]
[Errr, yes, well, I’m interested in them……]
[The products in the showcase were relatively inexpensive, but the ones you were searching for, our finest chocolates, were in this catalog. If you would like, please check them out.]
[Ah…… yes. Thank you very much.]
Eh? That 30R per piece chocolate is comparatively cheap? You imply there are candies at a better stage than this? Exchanging glances with Dr. Vier, we browsed via the catalog……
[……Miyama-kun, this is amazing. The world is amazing……]
[I’ve been thinking that I’ve been losing my financial sense lately, but it seems like reality is at an even higher level than that.]
The heck is with these candies…… 30000R per piece? Isn’t that round 3 million Japanese yen? That’s insane…… How on the planet did this chocolate have a worth of three million? Did you folks put diamonds on this or one thing?
“”
That 30000R chocolate could have been the costliest one, however the different candies on this catalog additionally value a number of thousand Rs.
As Dr. Vier stated, the world certain is wonderful.
……Nicely, I used to be simply curious to see what they’d style like, so I made a decision to purchase some. As one can think about, they don’t hold costly candies like these in inventory, however we are able to have them made to order and delivered to our home at a later date.
I ponder if Lilia-san had ever eaten sweets like this earlier than? I assume I’ll ask her subsequent time.
~ ~ Additional : What Eden (Makina) did after the Six Kings Competition ~ ~
・Threaten Each Nobles
Mainly, since Eden’s magic energy itself is at a special stage, most nobles instantly understood that she was clearly somebody they shouldn’t go in opposition to in the event that they met her, so most nobles obediently swore their allegiance to Kaito.
So long as they had been obedient, she didn’t do something and didn’t threaten them too arduous.
Nevertheless, it appears that there have been some individuals who had been obstinately defiant, however after they had been all introduced via hell and some seconds later in actual time, they had been on their knees crying.
Simply as she had promised Kuro, she hasn’t killed anybody…… however there have been individuals who she 90% killed.

・Sightsee
Though she appears to be unreasonable in most facets, she is commonly like a traditional vacationer. On the Six Kings Competition, after she threatened many of the nobles, she went buying at stalls as typical.
Folks had witnessed her consuming takoyaki, and due to her conspicuous look, there was a growth in takoyaki gross sales.
