【127】
I accepted the pudding set with care and smiled brightly as I flatly refused.
“You said it was tasteless, so I’ll just eat it myself! That means we’re not friends.”
“What? How dare you reject the Crown Prince’s proposal?”
“Nyah.”
If he wanted to be friends, he should ask more politely.
Maximilian’s face flushed red—he couldn’t bring himself to take back what he’d already given, his pride wouldn’t allow it.
‘This looks delicious!’
[Flame Spirit King Flammeus chuckles heartily.]
[One of the lower flame spirits from the Kitchen Hearth is telling me that the Crown Prince has been loitering around the kitchen since morning, ordering them to make pudding.]
Really?
I swallowed the corn-flavored pudding I’d scooped into my mouth as I read the glowing text.
[Flame Spirit King Flammeus gazes at you contentedly.]
[It’s certain he made this specially for you. He really does want to be your friend. For a glutton like you, food is the greatest gift, after all.]
The pudding melted smoothly on my tongue.
Of course it would!
The pastry chef responsible for the Crown Prince’s meals must have made it with sweat pouring down his face.
[Water Spirit King Aurora says that while he’s rough around the edges, he’s not a bad child.]
[It seems he never learned how to make friends. How about our daughter teaches him?]
Hmm…
[Water Spirit King Aurora pats your bottom gently.]
[Maximilian has been watching you carefully. He noticed that you prefer corn, carrot, and sweet potato flavors over chocolate or milk, so he ordered it that way.]
Hearing Mother’s words made my heart move just a little.
‘Should I share one pudding with Rasifer?’
The corn pudding disappeared quickly.
As I deliberated between the two remaining flavors, I chose the sweet potato pudding and placed it in the Jellyfish nearby.
Then I pulled out a pen and colored paper from the rabbit bag slung over my shoulder.
Whenever Rasifer sends me a letter, I want to write back quickly.
To my dear L.
Try this!
The Crown Prince gave it to me, and I wanted to share it with you, so I’m sending one.
Do you like pudding?
I really love it!
-S.
“Please deliver this, Jellyfish.”
The Jellyfish that flew off returned incredibly quickly.
Hello, Jellyfish Owner.
Yeah, I like you too.
P.S. 1. Do you like pudding more, or cotton candy?
P.S. 2. I wish I’d made sweet potato cotton candy too.
-Your pretty one.
I unfolded the paper crane and read the letter, but I couldn’t understand what this was supposed to mean, so I just sat there blankly.
I said I liked pudding…?
To pretty L.
How did the sweet potato pudding taste?
I prefer cotton candy, though.
But I’m kind of looking forward to sweet potato flavored cotton candy.
P.S. By the way, why didn’t you come today? When are you coming?
-S.
Still, I should write a reply.
As I busied myself with the pen, Maximilian, who had been hovering nearby, started pestering me.
“Who is it? Your letter correspondent.”
“Secret.”
“Are you in love?”
“No? We’re friends.”
For now, anyway.
Since I’m not sure if we’re Companions or not.
Soon, holding a cup filled with orange smoothie, I leisurely watched people riding small boats.
“Want to ride?”
“Hmm… not really? I’ve ridden much bigger and fancier ships before.”
Maximilian tried to strike up conversation again for no reason, but I immediately shook my head.
I ride ships plenty in Fasayen anyway.
The lake sparkles beautifully, but I don’t need to see it from inside there.
Maximilian seemed displeased with my answer for some reason and grumbled to himself before wandering off somewhere.
“Ah, I’m happy.”
With that, everything became truly quiet, and I could enjoy my own time.
“It’s been a while, little rabbit.”
“…!”
But suddenly, someone embraced me tightly.
A cool touch. The subtle scent of rose perfume.
A long shadow stretching beneath my feet and wavy silver hair tickling my cheek.
I didn’t even need to turn around to know who it was.
I lifted my head with a bright smile.
“Crescent Sister?!”
“Yeah, have you been well?”
“…!”
Sister, you’ve grown up!
The Diolrose I remember was a girl. When did she grow so tall all of a sudden?
And she’s incredibly beautiful.
The moment Diolrose appeared, the sun seemed to lose its power for a moment and grow dim. Instead, a serene moonlight seemed to seep out like tea leaves steeping in water.
Sister Diolrose’s presence was no joke.
“I missed you so much, Sister…!”
“I missed you too. My little rabbit looks healthy. I’m glad.”
“Mm.”
“And you’re wearing shoes that look just like you. How adorable.”
Uncertain what to say in response to this unfamiliar warmth, I was grateful when Sister steered the conversation forward.
Since she’d brought up shoes, I quickly stretched out my feet to show them off.
“They’re my brand! They’re comfortable shoes with a doll attached, and you can walk in them much longer than formal shoes. You can even run in them!”
“How unique, and they suit you perfectly. What a brilliant idea you came up with.”
Sister praised me and gently stroked my head.
But then—
Sharp waves of jealous gazes suddenly pierced through the air from all directions.
“Ugh, I want the Princess to pet me too…!”
“Dream on. Would she do that for us?”
“Ah… honestly, even just a glance from her would be wonderful…!”
Sister was incredibly popular.
And here I was, receiving an embrace from someone so beloved?
‘This is the best.’
I turned a proud and confident gaze toward all those envious faces.
“Sister, are you interested in these shoes too?”
“Do you have adult sizes?”
“Yes! I didn’t bring adult sizes today, but I have children’s sizes. Look at this.”
I rummaged through my bag and pulled out another pair of prototype shoes.
How do all these shoes fit in such a small bag, you ask?
Well, obviously because it’s enchanted with storage magic. Older Brother Elzen would never buy me an ordinary bag.
“Ta-da.”
“Oh my, this one has a bear doll attached to it.”
“Yes! Do you need someone to give this to? I’ll give this to you, Sister. And I’ll give you adult-sized shoes separately once I finish making them!”
“How thoughtful. Actually, I do have someone to give it to. My younger sibling loves things like this.”
Typically, all shoes worn by nobility were custom-made to fit the exact shape of their feet.
But commoners selected from pre-made sizes that fit them.
Since these were prototypes, Trendy had created shoes in several standardized sizes.
‘I hope they fit well.’
Presenting my shoes and Trendy’s creations in front of so many people made me a little nervous.
“Is that jellyfish shape on the sole of the shoe?”
“Oh! Yes, exactly! It’s the symbol of my brand.”
We’d agreed that this approach worked better than attaching a jellyfish-shaped patch.
Since the shoes already had small dolls attached, adding a jellyfish patch on top would have felt like too much.
“Vanilla, come here.”
“Yes, Sister!”
Sister Diorose, who had been examining the shoes, spoke quietly. At her words, shadows surged upward, and from within them emerged Vanilla Bellarian.
When on earth had she been here?
“I hope you’ll wear them. Will you do that for me?”
“I’ll follow your orders, Sister!”
Twelve-year-old Vanilla Bellarian was remarkably cheerful. And she took a liking to my shoes.
“Wow, these aren’t dress shoes? But they’re so comfortable and pretty!”
“Dress shoes are uncomfortable, so I made these instead.”
“Really? With these on, I could do missions anytime!”
At Vanilla Bellarian’s positive reaction, the onlookers gradually drew closer.
“They look rather… unusual for shoes.”
“Not dress shoes? Isn’t that rather impolite?”
“It would be odd for adults to wear them. But I think children would do just fine with them?”
The murmuring voices seemed largely favorable toward the shoes.
‘If adults just tried them on once, they’d feel the difference!’
Still, pairing athletic shoes with a dress did seem to strike them as strange.
Of course, such long-held notions wouldn’t change overnight.
‘It’s fine if just the children wear them.’
My mood lifted, and I smiled broadly as I rummaged through my bag.
“Sister, I’d like to give you this.”
“A tiny figurine.”
Sister Diorose, who had been watching us, accepted the jet-black cat doll.
It was so small it didn’t even reach half a finger’s length.
“This was made by the Shoemaker’s Brother… or rather, who is now my uncle by marriage.”
“That’s an unusual explanation. Still, it’s adorable… I wonder what would be best to use it for.”
Sister Diorose examined the figurine from every angle.
Even such a simple gesture looked like a painting when she did it.
“I know. Shall I attach it to a fan?”
“To a fan?”
“Yes, like this.”
Sister unfurled the fan she’d been holding with a soft rustle. Then she used shadows to bore a hole through the end of the fan’s handle.
“What do you think?”
“Wow! I never would have thought of that…!”
The black cat figurine dangled like an ornament.
Made on the spot using shadows instead of thread, it looked incredibly cute to my eyes.
“My, look at Princess Diorose’s fan.”
“It seems odd, yet… when the Princess does it, it suits her perfectly.”
“Hmm, should I attach something to my fan too?”
“Since the Princess did it, I’m a bit tempted to try as well…”
Wait?
Is this… a sales opportunity?
