The 9 o clock bell rang.

Takeo and Alice reached the magic goods shop and went inside.

“Lady Alice, Sir Kitamizato, welcome.”

“Yes.”

“We’ll be intruding.”

Alice and Takeo repleid.

“You came at a good time.”

“Did something happen?”

Takeo responded to the magic goods store manager.

“Ummm…………….. Firstly, today evening Ralph (the manager of the magic goods store) and I will be coming over to the Elvis house with the purchase order and confirmation.”

“Okay.”

“The nest issue is-

About collecting the bullets.”

“It’s only been 2 days since I asked you though? Is it really impossible?”

“On the contrary……..it’s progressing as per your plans.”

“…………Why?”

Takeo asked in surprise.

“Wait a minute Sir Takeo, why are you questioning that?”

Alice asked.

“No, actually.

I had asked to collect the bullets and buy the rifle for 6 silvers right? That’s the negotiation that was to be………….

But since 6 silvers is quite less, I thought that it may not be possible……….”

“I thought so as well…………..

That’s why I sent out that I would like to purchase every single bullet and 1 rifle for 1 gold…………”

“…………………..Did the rifle and all the bullets come in?”

“……………..Yes.”

“How many have you got now?”

“Two shops responded to us to we now have 4 rifles and 600 bullets.”

“The payment?”

“The negotiation was that 1 rifle plus bullets was 1 piece of gold so right now I’ve already paid 4 pieces of gold.”

“There is only 1 gold left in the purchase budget now right?”

“………….Yes.”

“How many other shops have you contacted.”

“About 4 more.”

“Do you think that all of them have rifles with them?”

“Yes. I’ve contacted all those that were there at the supplier when I bought the rifle.”

“I see. So you’re targeting your peers as mentioned earlier.”

“Yes.”

“What is the maximum total number?”

“Should be 5 more.”

“Alright. I’ll give you 4 more golds then.”

Takeo paid him the gold.

“Do you think that all of them will come in?”

Takeo smiled.

“I think that they may, it’s been smooth till now so I think that it may be so for the others as well.”

The manager smiled.

“Then please process the bullets and the rifle so that they can be strapped onto the shoulder and deliver it to the Elvis house.”

“Understood.”

Suddenly Takeo began to look around the store.

“What happened?”

“No, I was just thinking that I want a stand to place the rifle on.”

Takeo found a stand on which a sword was placed.

He replaced the sword with his rifle.

“This will do.”

“Eh? Is something like that okay?”

“It’s a simple one made out of wood so isn’t it good?

Please give this one to me.

What is the price of the shoulder strap and this stand?”

“……………That’s not an item that I’m selling though…….

…………….2 silvers should be fine.”

“Alright.”

Takeo handed over the payment.

“Ah, I’ve brought the used cartridges over.”

Takeo handed over the 50 cartridges.

“Then we’ll be leaving.”

Takeo stood up and left the store with Alice.

Takeo and Alice went to the furniture store.

“Sir Takeo, you left the cartridges there without giving any more information, is that fine?”

“Hn? If it’s him he’ll understand, right?

He can throw them away if he doesn’t want them.

Those cartridges are not something that we can throw out of the Elvis house for the time being.”

“Is that so?”

“Yes, we’re not prepared yet.

And it isn’t unnatural if a weapons store were to throw them away right?”

“Well, that’s right.”

“Fufu, we must be careful.

For now………..anyway.”

Takeo said.

The 2 of them reached the furniture store as they spoke.

“Lady Alice, welcome.”

The shop assistant greeted her.

“Yes, we’re here today to look for furniture for the both of us.”

“I’m Takeo Kitamizato.”

The shop assistant froze for a moment.

“I’ll……………call the manager!”

He immediately went inside the shop.

Takeo and Alice looked at each other and smiled.

The shop manager came out in a hurry within a few moments.

“La……………Lady Alice! What good news!!!”

‘You don’t need to make it so obvious right?’

Takeo thought.

“Mr manager………….we’re not running away you know?

Please calm down.”

Alice said.

“Yes, I’m sorry. Let me reorganize myself.

…………Yes, I’m fine now.”

“So we’re here to look for furniture for the both of us.”

“Lady Alice, congratulations.”

“Yes, thank you.

This is my fiancé.”

“I’m Takeo Kitamizato.”

Takeo said.

“Sir Kitamizato, thank you for taking care of Lady Alice.

The inhabitants of this city were really worried about her.

Thank you very much.”

The manager bowed deeply.

“Wai…………wait a minute Mr manager! What is that supposed to mean!?”

Alice asked with a red face.

“………….Aren’t you angry?”

“I’m pretty angry right now though?”

Alice answers the store manager’s bizarre question with a straight face.

“Well, Mr manager………..I’ll keep her in check………”

Takeo said.

“Then…………..”

The shop manager began to speak.
