By coincidence, I ran into Eris-san, who had co to inspect the store. After a bit of small talk, Eris-san handed a luxurious-looking black card.
[Kaito-sama, here is our mbership card. Please use it on your next visit.]
[Thank you. Actually, next month….. I plan to co to this city with my friends, so if I have the ti, I thought I might stop by.]
[Is that so? ……By the way, who will your friend be?]
[Errr…… An otherworlder who was a past Hero Actor, and one other person.]
I decided to keep Olivia-san's involvent quiet, unsure if it was okay to ntion her here. After all, we're not heading to Friendship City but a different city, partly to avoid drawing attention to Olivia-san, who's famous and might attract a commotion. It was one thing to tell Eris-san, but I couldn't say it in front of other custors.
[I see, a friend from your holand…… Although there isn't a definite decision yet, if you decide to drop by, please let us know. We’ll prepare a specially curated assortnt for you.]
[Thank you. I'll get in touch then.]
[Yes. Oh, I apologize for holding you up while you were shopping.]
[No, please don't worry about it…… actually, if you have any chocolate recomndations, I'd love to hear them.]
I hadn’t co with anything specific in mind but thought I’d buy sothing nice if it caught my eye. I’d love to try any recomndations Eris-san might have.
[In that case, how about chocolates made with dried fruit? Our Archlesia Empire, thanks to the Blessings of the God of Fertility and advancents in technology, now has easy access to fresh ingredients, but dried fruits, a legacy from when crops didn’t grow well, remain of excellent quality.]
[Heehhh, dried fruit huh…… That sounds delicious.]
[Indeed, indeed. This chocolate wasn’t here last ti I visited!]
[As Jutia-sama ntioned, this is a new release…… If you'd like, please have so samples.]
Eris-san gave a gentle smile and instructed the clerk, who soon brought over samples of the chocolate.
The chocolates, in line with the store’s luxurious vibe, had an elegant, stylish appearance. Taking her up for her words and picking out a sample, I found that the chocolate contained finely chopped dried fruit and a sweet-tart fruit sauce. One bite released a delicious blend of fruit and chocolate, filling my mouth with delightful flavors.
[……This is delicious. It has a refreshing taste with a nice aftertaste, and the flavor of the dried fruit cos through more distinctly than I expected.]
[I see, I see…… it's dried instantly with magic rather than the usual thod, huh?]
[It's indeed as Jutia-sama says. We use a special Magic Tool for instant drying. The downside is that it raises the production cost, so it's challenging to use it outside of luxury stores like ours……]
I see, as expected from a luxury store; they’re dedicated to every aspect, from ingredients to the production thod. This chocolate is quite delicious, so I think I'll buy a few to take ho.
After that, with Jutia-san, I continued to enjoy shopping, as Eris-san introduced us to several types of chocolates.
After finishing my shopping at the Dia Royal Chocolate Store, I registered a nearby location with my Teleportation Magic Tool and then returned ho with Jutia-san.
[Thank you for coming along with , Jutia-san.]
[Tis' alright, tis' alright, don't mind it…… I didn’t really do anything, you know.]
[No, no, I really enjoyed shopping with you. Ah, that's right…… if you have ti, how about so tea?]
[Oh? Sounds good, sounds good! I’ll happily take you up on that offer.]
Having Eris-san there by chance was helpful, but it was truly reassuring to have Jutia-san with …… I still feel a little tense going into high-end stores like that, so if I’d gone alone, I probably would’ve been more nervous.
So, to thank her, I invited Jutia-san for tea, and she happily agreed with a bright smile.
Now that I think of it, Canalis-san introduced to a new tea that’s set for release soon…… If we have enough of those, I could serve it to Jutia-san. That would probably be sothing she would be happy with.
Serious-senpai : [The next round of stomachache ammo (Olivia) has been smoothly loaded……]
