Chapter 374 - About Time I Think About How I Should Use my Money
As for Sieg-san……
[Mhmm…… T- This is expensive……]
[Sieg-san? You looked like you’re feeling troubled?]
[Hmmm. It’s a festival hosted by the Six Kings and I didn’t want to appear discourteous, so I came here to buy something…… But as I thought, since they were made for nobles, all of them are very expensive…… It’s hard to make up my mind……]
The clothes Sieg-san was looking at were pants-type that looked easy to move in. At first glance, it looks like something for men, but its colors and patterns were cute.
The price of one pair was 5000R…… 500,000 yen, while the other one was 7000R…… 700,000 yen. Both of them seemed to be inexpensive, even compared to the top-bottom sets of this store.
I thought it was cheap for a moment, since my senses had become numb after buying 3 outfits for 10 million yen from Alice, but when I thought about it again, 500,000 yen for one outfit was quite expensive.
(T/N: around 4800 USD. oof)
Putting aside if it were for the Duchess Lilia-san, it did seem to be a price that was difficult for Sieg-san to afford.
Incidentally, all the clothes that Lilia-san bought were paid for in gold coins…… They cost several millions. The fact that they weren’t expensive stuff like formal dresses reminded me once again of how magnificent nobles were supposed to be.
……Well, my clothes, which I buy from Alice, are also considerably expensive……
[Sieglinde-sama, may I recommend these clothes with the newest designs?]
[……These designs look quite lovely, don’t they. The price is…… 15,000R!? I- I’ll pass.]
How should I say this…… Unnn. I don’t know if it’s because I’m surrounded by people too rich that they don’t even know money exists, but seeing Sieg-san’s appearance, looking like a commoner, feels really refreshing.
Even so, the clothes the clerk just brought in…… It’s a pale green pattern that would look good on Sieg-san……
[Ummm, excuse me. Can you please adjust that one to fit Sieg-san’s size?]
[……Eh? K- Kaito-san!? W- What are you……]
[We’re on a date anyway, so I’ll buy it for you as a present.]
[In that case, may I recommend some accessories that would go well with this outfit?]
[That looks beautiful…… I’ll take that too.]
[Kaito-san!? Y- You can’t do that! T- They’re too expensive……]
When I told her that I was going to buy it as a present for Sieg-san, she called out to me in a panic.
[Fortunately, I had lots of money, and I didn’t have anything I planned to spend it on…… I also think that this would look on you, Sieg-san. Besides, I’m your lover, so let me at least give you some clothes as a present.]
[N- No, but…… If you include the accessories, that’s over 30,000R, you know!? T- That’s expensive……]
[Ahh, Lilia-san too, please let me give you that dress I picked as a present.]
[……Thank you. I’ll take your word for it then.]
[You’re ignoring me!? Lili too, how can you easily agree!?]
Unlike the flustered Sieg-san, Lilia-san smiled at my suggestion and just thanked me. This may be because of the difference in financial sense between the two of them.
[……Kaito-san’s personal wealth can’t be compared to that of an ordinary noble, you know? Kaito-san, how much money do you currently have?]
[E- Errr, I haven’t really counted them but…… It should be about “1500 white gold coins”.]
[O- One thousand five hun……]
Even after making money from the monster race before, lots of things happened and the money I have just kept increasing.
For example, when I was making the music box, I received a large amount of jewelry from Isis-san, that I still have a lot of leftovers…… The quantity she gave me was a bit excessive. I was also worried about the capacity of my magic box since Magnawell-san’s scales took up most of the space, so I decided to sell some of them.
As a result, I had a lot of money in my pocket. Even after giving out special bonuses to Anima and the others, I still had a lot of money…… I’m going to have to seriously think about how to use it.
[……Don’t come out of nowhere and smile like that, idiot.]
As I was thinking about this, Alice appeared out of nowhere with a smile on her face. Even though I say that she was smiling, her eyes were totally looking at me with “eyes of a predator looking at a delicious prey”.
Shooing away the idiot, I turned to Sieg-san, whose mouth was flapping open and close like a fish.
[And that’s why, please let me give you a present.]
[……U- Uuuu…… T- Thank you. I’ll make sure to repay this someday.]
[Don’t worry about it. I’ve always been really indebted to Sieg-san after all.]
When Lilia-san asked me how much money I had, Sieg-san seemed to have given up and after apologetically thanking me, she accepted my request.
But really, I’m only buying it because I want to see Sieg-san in it, so it’s perfectly fine…… I thought it’s a very good purchase.
After thanking me several times, I watched her and Lilia-san head off to get their sizes measured, and a thought occurred to me. Speaking of which, what about Anima and the others? I heard that Eta and Theta would somehow prepare their clothes but…… as for Anima…… Unnn. I think she would definitely not prepare at all.
I mean, Anima had already received an invitation from Alice, but she still dared to ask to participate as “my companion”…… She’s definitely planning to attend in her usual military uniform.
However, there’s hardly any time left before the Six Kings Festival, so if I ask for something to be made for her now…… I don’t think they would make it in time.
[……Unnn?]
[………………….]
And there Alice appears again. With a smile on her face, she was holding several design drawings in her hands.
[……I’ll have this and this…… Also, this one.]
[Thank you for your patronage~~]
The price is fairly expensive, but I could expect its quality, and the speed that these clothes are made would be overwhelming.
Somehow, she really has become a very useful mobile store…… Though, it does feels like she has been exclusively targeting me lately……
Dear Mom, Dad————- Pushing past the reserved Sieg-san, we finally finished shopping for clothes. I guess we’ll be having lunch next. Let’s go search for a good restaurant from Kuro’s guidebook. Anyhow, I think it’s about time———– about time I think about how I should use my money.
