Glasswork Store
「Kureto-sama, please take this if you do not mind」
As we had finished our lunch, about to return to our stroll, and left the mansion, Elza handed a piece of paper to me. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
「This is?」
「I have put together a list of shops that Nina-sama would likely enjoy」
When I opened the note at Elza’s urging with her eyes, I saw the names of various shops written there.
Such as a clothes shop, an accessories shop, a glasswork shop, a general store, and a coffee shop.
「If you are not sure where to go you might want to visit the shops listed there」
「……this is really helpful」
「No, not at all」
I hadn’t had the time to learn the shops suitable for going on a stroll with Nina so getting guidance from Elza - who is the same geder- is really helpful. My maid is so brilliant.
「I am going to return to Howling village after taking Nina for a stroll so you all can take it easy」
「Understood」
After briefly explaining my schedule to Elza, I left the mansion with Nina
「Have a good day, Kureto-sama, Nina-sama」
「Maid-san, thank you!」
Nina cheerfully waved back to the maids who came out to see us off and started walking.
Before long, we can no longer see Elza and the others so Nina stops waving and starts walking ahead.
「How about we go and try out various shops after this?」
「Un! I want to see all kinds of shops!」
Since Nina didn’t raise any objection to the idea, we headed to the Central district.
The Central district is a commercial district lined with many shops just like the market we went to earlier. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
If you were in trouble deciding, then you could just visit various shops in the Central district to manage the situation somehow.
Because of that, the street is always crowded with people.
「Waa, there are more people here compared to the market before」
Nina appears to be overwhelmed by the wave of people coming and going on the street.
And it is perhaps because she is not used to walking among the crowd that her steps are extremely unsteady.
She was so distracted by the various items being sold and the scenery of the royal capital that she bumped into people several times, it was really dangerous.
「It will be terrible if we get separated, let’s walk ahead while holding hands 」
「Un!」
Nina took my hand with a smile when I held out my hand.
Un, I’m glad she didn’t dislike the idea. I might get traumatized for my whole life if I were to get rejected.
It was a scene where Andre would overreact if he saw us, but this is something unavoidable if you consider the danger of being separated.
I continue walking ahead and guide Nina in the right direction on the street.
Indeed, there will be a lot of the recommended shops from Elza if we go in this direction.
As I walked through the crowd while recalling the note, the surging crowd calmed down and we came to an open area shortly after.
There are rows of beautiful buildings with wooden ornaments here and we can see plenty of gorgeous items through the glass.
「Amazing! What beautiful stores!」
Nina’s eyes are sparkling, seeing the row of stores.
They are probably fully aware of the store's image. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
Decorative workmanship is embedded on the wooden lattices. It has a square base, but because they are stacked together, they are extremely rich in design.
When I tried to look at the store beside it, this store is also a similar wooden building but uses plaster as the finishing, decorating with an embossed carving pattern that makes use of the texture and unevenness of the finishing material and plaster.
The design of every store is of very high quality.
Certainly, I felt that there were a lot of women here when I went around using Teleport in this area, but now I understand it, seeing such stylish stores. It’s a beautiful streetscape that lets you experience something extraordinary just by looking at it.
I start walking while unconsciously pulling Nina’s hand.
She also gave in to her curiosity without resisting.
The first store Nina ran up to was a glasswork store.
She intensely stares at the glassworks lined up on the display shelf visible through the window.
「Waa, pretty.....」
She commented with a sigh. She spoke out in a small voice as though she thought that the glasswork in front of her would break if she spoke loudly.
「Shall we go inside for a bit?」
「Un!」
I thought Nina would immediately enter after nodding to my suggestion, but for some reason, she came behind me and pushed my back.
「What’s the matter?」
「Kureto can enter first.....it’s kind of embarrassing to enter such a stylish store」
Apparently, she doesn’t have the courage to go in first, having been overwhelmed by the store’s stylish atmosphere.
I thought it would be easier for a cute girl like Nina to enter first instead of a man like me, but oh well. I open the door - having made to be in front - and enter the store. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
「Welcome」
There is a clear sound of a bell when I enter *chirinchirin* and the quiet voice of a woman wearing glasses who looks like the storekeeper echoes in the air.
The storekeeper didn’t approach us or say anything more to us after welcoming us, she just sat at the counter.
It looks like besides doing business, she is also making a different ware. Truly creator-ish.
There are many shelves inside the store with various glassworks placed there.
There is a wide range of items, from animals such as deer, rabbit, and bird to wild bear and boar, and even goblin, orc, and slime. Ranging from elaborately realistic to deformed shapes.
「A transparent rabbit-san」
Nina is looking at a rabbit made of transparent glass.
As a focal point, the eyes are finished with red glass.
The smooth surface of the rabbit’s body matches extremely well with the rounded shape of the rabbit's body.
After staring at the rabbit for some time, Nina moves to a slime on another shelf next to it as if drawn by it.
「It’s a slime」
「Yeah, it has a sense of liveliness」
The slime in front of us was a glasswork captured in the middle of its jump.
The unique opacity of the light blue glass was eerily beautiful, just like the color of slime you can encounter outside.
While I was fascinated by the slime, Nina was once again drawn to another piece of glasswork and moved toward it.
She’s brimming with curiosity and quick to observe. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
It seemed like she had completely gotten used to the store’s atmosphere, she looked around for things that interested him as she stopped following me.
Hmm, these glassworks are really beautiful. There are other varieties such as Fire slime, Green slime, and Poison slime, which also move in a way that takes advantage of their gelatinous bodies.
Each of them is made using colored glass, and they’re extremely beautiful.
I thought my new home in Howling village and my room in the mansion looked dreary, so let’s buy some.
Having set my eyes on several conspicuous items, I call out to Nina.
「Was there anything you like?」
「Un, that first rabbit I saw!」
「I’ll buy it for you」
「It’s okay! I got pocket money from kaasan!」
Nina takes out a leather bag from her pouch as if puffing up with pride so she can buy it herself.
I guess Stella gave her some money to make sure I wouldn’t have to pay for everything.
Since Stella had given her some money and the person herself said she wanted to pay for it, there was no need to force me to pay for it. Stella will just end up worrying over it if I offer to pay for everything.
「Okay. Let’s pay for it then」
「Un」
Nina bought 2 rabbit glassworks while I bought 5 different types of slime.
Once the payment for our items is done, Nina happily put the glasswork she bought into her pouch.
It would be safer to store them inside my subspace but it’s boorish to say that now.
There is also meaning in holding what you bought yourself.
「Where are we going next?」
「Hmーm, I wonder where we should go nextー」
Leaving the glasswork store, Nina looks at the store with a troubled expression.
There are so many different types of stores that she’s probably confused.
「Apparently, the general store over there is a recommended spot, y’know?」
「Then, let’s go there!」
Nina nodded - as if she had made up her mind - when I casually suggested the store written on Elza’s note. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
