Welco! Ahh, its the husband from before, so youve returned?
Well I liked the clothes I bought last ti.
Thats excellent, I was quite moved to see your wives coming through wearing our clothes.
Howd you figure out we were married?
Obviously you can tell just by looking at the mood. Well, what matters have brought you to our store today?
The shopkeep smiled pleasantly as they approached.
I have two matters for today. First, I need you to choose so clothes for this man. Well be engaging in business with wealthy clients so Id prefer a clean and pleasant impression. Id also like you to make sure that the clothes are not easily worn out. The budget is one gold.
I understand. I think clothes that dont cling too close would be good. Tom, Ill leave this to you. Coordinate this outfit to the best of your abilities.
Roger that Boss!
The shopkeep called an employee over and he accompanied Roleau into the store.
We were being treated well since he saw us as a valuable custor.
What would the second request be?
Before long Ill be getting married, I need to prepare the best dresses for the two of them.
Well well, looks like well have to put so spirit in. Such beautiful girls need wonderful dresses that match each other and that will fill their hearts with joy when they rember that wonderful day in the future.
Lucy and Kuu were acting bashfully at the praise theyd been receiving.
For that Ill have to believe in your senses. I wont add any conditions, just make dresses that will draw out their absolute beauty. Is that okay girls?
U-un, thats fine.
I-I dont mind either.
Youre acting too nervous. Relax, relax
Well even if I said that they didnt seem any calr.
Well then Husband, what kind of budget were we looking at?
10 gold each. If thats not enough then you may consult . The deadline is in two days in the evening before we leave. Can you make it in ti?
This ti I had brought Roleau, Kona, and Rera to teach them business so Kuu and Lucy honestly didnt need to co. The only reason I had brought them was for this.
I see, with that much budget I can promise you the very best. The deadline is honestly quite harsh, but even if we have to put our other work on hold I shall bet my pride on completing it.
The shopkeep replied with a motivated voice, I looked at Kuu and Lucy to see their eyes completely widened.
C-Cyril ten gold!?
Th-that much!? How much wheat would that buy.
So it was the amount of money that was making them swoon.
Well if we have money its best to use it, plus this money is coming from my own savings so dont worry.
ButI feel its a waste.
Im rea~lly happy, but I think its too much.
I want to see it so Im paying for it. A wedding ceremony is a once in a lifeti event so I dont want to skimp on the budget and see the most beautiful versions of you. You dont need to think too much about it, as long as you show how cute you are itll be worth it.
I said and they blushed before whispering to each other for a bit. They then turned to the shopkeep and bowed.
Well be in your care.
And so began the creation of their wedding dresses.
*********
Later that evening I delivered Roleau, Kuu, and Lucy back to the inn since they were ntally exhausted from the visit to the clothes shop. After doing so I headed out to a weapons shop to sell three swords that I had crafted as Kuiro to make so money.
They were able to evaluate the prices properly so I could sell it for a high price. It allowed to fill in the gaps in the budget caused by the wedding dresses. They wouldnt know how I got the swords or how I made them, plus only three of them would not affect any kind of military force.
However, I was worried about whether it would fall into suspicious peoples hands.
Since entering Erin we had been tailed by around 3 people. They werent just following , they had asked the owner of the inn, the clothing store, the weapon smith, and the owner of the stall what I had bought and done. Even that weapon store I had just gone into, they entered it and bought the swords I sold.
I continued to pretend I hadnt noticed and used Perception Expansion to gather counter-intelligence.
As I listened to what they spoke with the owners about, I could find out they werent technically suspicious people, but working for soone well respected and trusted in this city.
However, I had no idea of their objective. I had continued to hide my ears when in town so I didnt think they should know I was an elf.
In the first place, even if they thought to kidnap they wouldnt follow like this and do this much extra. There was no reason not to make their move when I went by deserted areas.
Nowwhat is your purpose
It was possible to capture them myself, but they hadnt hard so I decided to just leave.
It was only three days til I left Erin. I need to remain cautious.
**************
Then two days later, the ones following .for so reason a mid twenties woman wearing male clothing ca and ate three of our crepes with a pleased look and bought 2 bottles of maple syrupthen a few hours later ca back with ten people to buy Erucy Wine that was limited to two per custor.
While she was at it she devoured another two crepes.
Now once again shed returned, but alone this ti.
As I thought I have to buy so for myself! Its expensive though!
She cried out while slamming 40 silver on the table and taking away the last two bottles of Erucy Wine before skipping awayI couldnt help but feel ridiculous.
Being cautious of them for the past 3 days seed like a stupid joke.
What did they even want in the first place???
I was mildly grateful as I blankly murmured those words. The maple syrup had completely sold out, but there had been half of the Erucy Wine left and they had just bought it all.
