[Gaul’s Merchant]
It was a building with an exterior reminiscent of a corner shop in the corner of the aristocratic commercial district.
“uh… … Is this really the right place?”
Perhaps Rosé made a puzzled expression at the appearance, which was different from the shops she had seen on the way here.
“It looks like this, but what’s inside is incomparable.”
Let’s open the door. My daughter and I. and the friendly sound of bells filled the interior of the store.
However, there is no voice to greet us.
“hmm? Is this an unmanned store by any chance? I’ve heard of it! Buying and selling things according to the customer’s conscience… … ”
“No, unfortunately, it’s not that kind of store.”

Go inside the trudging street. On either side of it were the ubiquitous magic tools, robes, and food.
From this point of view, it was no different from ordinary stores.
“Receive the guest.”
Let’s open the sliding door that was set up to share the interior of the store and living space with all our might. Something rose up with a groan.
“All, you! What?! Ho, maybe a robber?! As you can see from the look of the store, there is nothing to rob!”
The saliva on the corners of her mouth, her half-closed eyes, and even her chestnut hair.
Judging from his rough appearance and irritating tone, he seemed to be a descendant of the original worldview store owner.
“… … is a guest I opened the store door and there was no response.”
“to? That’s it, throw it at the counter roughly according to the value of the item and go… … .”
“Gregory! After all, it was an unmanned store!”
why is he like this again
“Ha, I didn’t come to this store for business. I came because I have business down there.”
“… … yes? down?”
The brown girl whose lower body was buried underneath jumped up.
“Um, what are you saying… … ! This is not Changgwan!”
“Are you challenging me to fight right now?”
“yes? If that’s not the case… … Everyone, are you sure you came to find Ghaul’s store of all things? really?”
I finally felt like the story was going right.
“Okay, I’d like you to open up some brochures and shops.”
[Ghaul’s Merchant] was a shop that opened conditionally in the second half of the game.
Few players used it because it was a shop that opened only after repelling disasters and acquiring at least 80% of the title, but it was also a shop where you could buy certain things.
Of course, in this world, there is no system like titles, so I came here thinking that if I knew the place, I would be able to enter.
“By the way, what is that expression?”
Suddenly, he averted his eyes and saw his chestnut hair breaking out in a cold sweat. With a trembling voice, she opened her mouth.
“Ooh, take a seat first! I’ll get the tea right away!”
When I glanced at Rose, she nodded. We sat side by side at a table.
In the kitchen, there was a continuous sound of rattling as if tea was being prepared.
“ah! owner! Is it possible to smoke indoors? It is an herb, not a tobacco plant.”
“Ah yes! Herbs are fine!”
Apparently, there were quite a few people who smoked herbs.
Soon after, the brown girl brought three teacups and sat down, placing two in front of us and one in front of herself.
After everyone was seated, I started talking.
“So, what the hell did you even bring a car to talk about?”
That’s what tea is. Once you give the tea to the other person, the other person has no choice but to listen to the other person until they drink the tea.
That’s why even in dramas and comics, ‘You drank tea well!’ and hit a one-shot.
However, since I don’t usually drink hot tea like this all at once, there were times when I offered tea to have a long talk.
“That makes sense… … I couldn’t believe that there would be guests in my generation… … .”
“Tell me the main point.”
“I lost my key! I’m sorry!”
The chestnut hair that puts the head first.
“… … … … what?”
Now, what did this bamtol say?
“Even in my mother’s case, customers were suddenly cut off, so I left the store key unattended… … I’m lost… … . You really have no face!”
My temples started to throb.
“… … you name.”
“yes! Hey Chestnut Gaul! Those in the know call it chess!”
“Chessnuts.”
“Call me Chess!”
I sang a little heavy and immediately put the tail down.
Yes, let’s talk first.
After all, it has to be this kid who opens the store.
“… … chess. Does that mean that the store will not be open for the rest of its life?”
“Oh no, that… … There has to be a way… … . It’s pretty complicated… … I don’t have time to do it, so… … .”
It was so believable that it came out of the mouth of the guy who had just been sleeping.
Cancer, yes. Sleeping is also a job.
“listen carefully. chess.”
“yes. I will listen!”
“I see this elf next to me.”
Chess listens to me and raises her head.
“Yes, I see a half-elf woman who is beautiful.”
“No, you are wrong.”
My answer was ‘yes?’ Chess tilted his head while making a noise. Rosé also looks at me as if asking what she’s talking about.
“This guy is the leader of the demons in this town.”
“yes?”
At my remark, Rose, who was holding a pipe, made a surprised expression.
I tapped the boy’s instep with my foot.
It meant knowing how to act.
“Behind this guy, there are 3 archeemons. Everyone cares for her like a daughter. Right, Rose?”
At my question, Rose opened the pipe she was holding and gracefully let out smoke.
A cloud of smoke spreads over the chess.
“that’s right. Marvas is between master and disciple… … I’m friends with Paimon… … .”
“Hey!”
The names of the Great Demons that everyone knows. Chess’ body, which was still bent down, began to tremble like a vibration mode.
“Then ask again. Chess in no time, with this many customers waiting, how long will it take to get his key back?”
“Hey! one month! We need at least one month!”
“One week.”
Rosé, who was sitting next to her, spoke as if spitting out.
“I’ll give you one week. Solve it in it.”
“yes… … !”
“The tea was good. Gregory? They don’t seem to sell clothes here, so why don’t we go somewhere else?”
“It is. Chess, if you have any problems, go see Gregory Jones at the Summoners Academy.”
After drinking all the tea that had cooled down while we were talking, we stood up. So, as I was about to go out into the street, I heard a voice from behind.
“I… … !”
“what?”
Turning his head, Pesnut, who was still on his knees, said.
“I heard that the three great devils care about the elves… … Who is the other?”
oh, i wondered about that
I smiled and answered the question that was more absurd than I thought.
“grow.”
“Ahh… … !”
“Let’s go, Rose.”
“yes!”
Even the guy probably knew. If I can’t open the store, it won’t end in death.
I had no intention of killing him.
“I wasted my time somewhere. sorry. Rosé.”
“no. I don’t think it’s an ordinary store if Gregory-sama goes this far, right?”
“There are quite a few good things. By the way, you haven’t bought any clothes yet.”
Then, Rose crossed her arms and smiled.
“does not matter! It’s because I didn’t want high performance clothes in the first place.”
The sudden skinship was embarrassing. Then, Rose quietly whispered.
“I’m still watching from behind. Gregory-sama also revealed his true identity as the Great Devil, so it would be better to look closer, right?”
Oh, was that the reason?
“Yes, I am doing well. So, then, what were you hoping for, Rosé?”
In response to my question, Rose pressed her lips with her index finger and made a um~ sound.
“Me? These are Gregory-sama’s favorite clothes!”
… … … .

Were elves originally such a desirable race?

The long and short Sunday has come to an end. After leaving Gaul’s General Store, we eventually went to a store that specializes in clothes.
I’ve never picked out women’s clothes, so I just recommended things that look pretty in my eyes, but strangely, as long as Rosé wore them, everything went well.
Maybe a great look is all about fashion. It was the day that made me think.
What followed was obvious.
Shopping, eating, sightseeing. I was pretty tired from the middle, but seeing Rosé’s happy face, I couldn’t bring myself to go back.
And was Rosé quite satisfied? An alarm popped up in the carriage on the way back to the academy.
[The relationship with the summoner deepens.]
[Bonding points increase! (currently in phase 2)]
Rosé also had a happening where she blushed saying that she had never seen anything like this before.
“Hiya~ But it was so much fun!”
Academy’s main entrance.
Rose, who was holding both hands full of shopping items, said with a smile.
In the middle, I said I would listen, but Rosé said it was okay and offered to listen.
“I’m glad you enjoyed it. Don’t forget that you have to go to the academy again tomorrow.”
“I won’t forget~ Oh, that’s right! Gregory, did you know that an exchange student from another academy is coming tomorrow?”
“Exchange student?”
For exchange students, it was an event to exchange students from different academies.
It was an event that usually happens 2 or 3 times a year, but I didn’t know it was tomorrow.
“Where are you from the academy?”
“Um~ There are three academies in total: Empire, Knight, and Roden.”
“What about us?”
“It seems that the seniors are going this time.”
Hearing Rose’s answer, he nodded. Even though I knew Empire and Knight, I was interested in Roden because it was the first name I had heard.
“Is Loden a new academy?”
“yes that’s right. I heard it was only about two hundred years old. As far as I know, the academy is famous for educating summoners, wizards, spiritists, etc. without specific parts.”
There are probably quite a few people looking forward to Dalian time tomorrow.
said Rose, giggling.
“Then let’s go in and try it, if possible, give me half of my luggage. Other guys might look at you strangely.”
It was definitely something that could be rumored as a summoner who ate summoners.
“yes… … If you say so… … .”
After receiving half of our luggage from Rose, as we were about to enter the academy, the guard guarding the main gate stared blankly at me.
“… … Do you have any business?”
“No no, I thought you were Gregory Jones.”
“Right.”
The security guard who heard my answer was like that too. He muttered, pointing to the post behind him.
“A little while ago, a little brown-haired boy came to Gregory Jones, crying profusely, saying he had some business to do. He hasn’t come in yet, so I told him to wait.”
Chess came?
It hadn’t even been 10 hours since we broke up, but he came right away, so it seemed like there was a problem.
“Did you say you were there?”
After confirming that the guard nodded, I walked over to the guard post and opened the door.
“What’s up with chess?”
“That’s Gregorini… … … .”
Chestnut Ghaul, the master of all things Ghaul. She was weeping in disarray.
“Help me, Lord… … … .”
