“Other World General Trading Company ‘Mitsugoshi Co.’ ”
In the afternoon, I went to cancel my registration for the Senbatsu Tournament.
“Thanks for the time.”
After saying a word of thanks, I now left the Student Office.
“So, how did it go?”
Hyoro and Jaga, who were waiting outside, gathered near me.
“The tournament pairs have been decided, so they can't bundle it.”
I breathe heavily.
“Yeah, cheer up. Think about how popular you would be if you made it!”
“Betul. ‘The problem is a hidden opportunity.’ That's what they say, isn't it?”
I shook my head.
“It's not about winning or losing. I don't want to come at all.”
“Haah, there's nothing to do then. I'll take you to a nice store, how about that?”
“T-, good shop?”
Keep reacting with wide eyes.
“Not a shop like that! My point is the shop that everyone is talking about right now, Mitsugoshi Co. I hear they sell amazing products that no one else has seen. For example, there is a confectionary called ‘coklat’ that is said to be sweet and tastes really delicious.”
“Sweet candy? Sounds good..”
“Bo ~ days. What good is it if you eat it yourself?”
Hyoro hit Jaga's head.
“You should give it to a girl as a gift. Let me teach you something good. As long as you give girls something sweet, they will fall in your arms.”
“I, I understand. As expected of Hyoro-kun! I've learned something new today.”
“Iya, right?”
Hyoro said proudly.
“So with that, let's go there, Sid!”
“Come, Sid-kun.”
Both of their eyes glittered.
“Alright, let's go.”
Taking a breath, I agreed to come along.
I wonder what the world's ‘chocolate’ is like?

Led by Hyoro, we proceeded down the main street of the royal capital. In the afternoon, many people were crowding, and all the shops in the main location were crowded. And the most crowded store among all turned out to be the rumored Mitsugoshi Co.
“Uwaaahh, really impressive.”
A magnificent new building that rises compared to the surrounding buildings. In addition, it seems very elegant – even a little modern, maybe. How to say it, this is a place that makes me feel a little different, feels like I did in the shops in my previous life.
And the line at the entrance. Everyone in line was a noble or someone who was clearly connected to a noble. At first glance, we can see that they are high-end customers. At the end of the line, there was a woman in uniform holding a plaque. It looks like we have to wait 80 minutes.
“Said that we have to wait 80 minutes.”
That's me
“That means we have enough time to return to the dorm before curfew.”
That's Jaga.
“We've arrived here. Let's march.”
And that's Hyoro.
“But there are rumors that lately there has been a massacre around here. If we go home too late.”.
“Stupid, the three of us are Magic Swordmans. Even if he attacks, we will beat him in his own game.”
Hyoro patted the sword on her hip with ‘pon’.
“I, I guess.”
“Hey, what do you mean by slaughterer?”
I interrupted their conversation to ask.
“It seems, there was someone touring the royal capital at night and killing people randomly. He seemed to be quite skilled, and there were even knights who became victims.”.
The word Jaga explained in a softer voice.
“Heeh, sounds scary. Looks like I won't be out at night anytime soon.”
“Ooii, let's march. Otherwise, we will pass the curfew.”
Forced by Hyoro, the three of us joined at the end of the line.
“H-, hey, i-, miss. You ca-, beautiful. A-, a-, what's your hobby?”
Hyoro immediately tried to talk to the woman holding the plaque, but her efforts were easily handled by a business smile that had clearly polished over hundreds of battlefields.
But then for some reason, the woman gave me a real smile.
“Dear customers, are you willing to spend a little of your time?”
With dark brown hair and eyes of the same color, she was beautiful with a calm aura and an elegant face.
He wore a simple dark blue mini-one piece emblazoned with the company logo. Somehow it made me think about cabin stewardesses in my previous life.
“Eh, me?”
I asked while pointing at myself.
“Iya. It's just a moment, we just want you to help us fill out the questionnaire.”
‘Question’? I think this is the first time I have heard of this concept in this world.
“I don't mind, but..”
“Thank you very much.”
“I, I, I will also help!”
“A-, I too!”
Hyoro and Jaga, plead with all they can.
“Only 1 person needed.”
The woman hooked her arm with mine, then led me and straight to the store.
When I looked back, I saw Hyoro and Jaga looking at me with pure despair on their faces.

Following behind the woman, I entered the very well-decorated shop.
The decoration is reduced to points that are more clearly visible, while careful attention has been taken to even the smallest corners. Overall, it creates a calm feeling. Even I, as an amateur in things like this, can see that this has been done with great taste. And as I expected from the outside, the interior style is indeed rather modern.
I was guided straight through the sales floor to the back door for employees, but the product I caught a glimpse of was. oh, my goodness.
The popular chocolate is certain, but there are also coffee and cosmetics and soaps and things I have never seen before in this world. There are also clothes and accessories and shoes and even underwear with tasteful designs that look nice and beautiful. It was basically a complete series of everything that even I could say would be extremely in demand in this world.
Anyhow I think about it, this .. oh, my goodness.
In the near future, this company will become a hegemony. I can assure you.
Passing through the doors for employees, we proceeded down the aisle; up the stunning stairs like the one in the movie about the luxury decorated passenger ship; down a wide, bright hallway with a red carpet underneath; before finally coming to the giant door with fine carvings on it and polished to a luminous point.
There were two beautiful women standing in front of that door. The two of them greeted me by bowing their heads, then slowly opening the door.
Behind it was a very large space.
There were rows of pillars like those in the Greek temples, and glittering marble floors.
And on both sides of the red carpet that continued into the room, stood two rows of more beautiful women.
“Eh?”
As I stepped into the room, they all knelt down simultaneously.
“Umm, questionnaire ..?”
At the end of the room, there was a large chair.
The chair almost looked like a work of art, with very detailed carvings on it, as well as being illuminated with a deep red color from the twilight sunlight shining through the ceiling.
The chair is currently no master.
But next to that chair, there was a beautiful blue-haired elf. With a model-like style, and wearing a voluptuous black dress, she gave off a polished and refined atmosphere.
I know that face.
“Sorry for making you wait so long, Milord.”
She knelt down like an actress.
“Gamma..”.
After Alpha and Beta, Gamma was my third workout partner.
With a wise-looking face and intelligent-looking blue eyes, anyone could tell in a glance that this girl definitely had a sharp mind. And he was none other than the brain behind Shadow Garden.
