After the unexpected encounter with the Great Tree Princess, Jutia-san, we headed for the restaurant again after Lilia-san and the others recovered from the incident.

  The restaurant Sky-san led us to was similar to a family restaurant, and I was personally relieved to see that the atmosphere wasn’t too formal.

  However, looking closely, I can find Shallow Grande among the alcoholic beverages section of the menu…… A glass costs 10000R…… In Japanese yen, that amounts to the outrageous price of 1 million yen.

  No, but considering that it’s a fantastic wine where a single bottle is prepared as a prize at the Festival of Heroes, and only 100 bottles of these were sold on the market within the 1000 years, I guess this could be a reasonable price?

  Ahh, looking at it again, they also have Glorious Tea. This one’s sold for 5000R a glass…… 500,000 yen. It’s outrageously pricey, but since it’s said to be one of the most fantastic teas in the world, I guess the price is reasonable.

  I mean, if this is the price for a glass of these, I wonder how much the products sold in the wealthy area cost?

  As I had such thoughts in mind, Sky-san, who had left our seat before I knew it, came back with two bottles of what looked like wine.

  [Everyone, please allow me to offer you a glass of wine as a welcome. For those of you who can drink wine, I’ve prepared a bottle of Shallow Grande, and for those of you who don’t like wine, I’ve prepared a juice made from grapes found only in the God Realm.]

  This consideration, she truly is an amazing person. Of course, there’s the fact that she’s treating us to expensive Shallow Grande, but she also prepared juice for those who don’t like or can’t drink wine, which makes me feel like she’s really good at her job.

  As everyone was delighted with Sky-san’s nice surprise, we were treated to a very tasty cup of wine alongside our lunch.

  After we had our lunch, I asked Sky-san where we were going next……


  [The shopping area for the wealthy is near here, so how about we check it out? Even if they sell the most expensive items, buying them or not would be another matter, so why don’t we take a look at the finest products available in the God Realm? ]

  [Ahh, I’d like to see that! They would have different stuff from the shopping area we went to earlier, right?]

  Hina-chan reacted happily to Sky-san’s words. Indeed, the shopping area we stopped at earlier was more like a souvenir shop, selling only reasonably priced items.

  I did enjoy shopping there, but I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t also interested in the wealthy area.

  [If it’s Milady, wouldn’t you be able to buy things there?]

  [I could buy things there, but what’s the point in buying something needlessly expensive?]

  [How about stuff that would add prestige to our residence?]

  [I’ve already had enough of those things……]

  She’s the strongest human, a former princess and currently a Duke, owner of a Flying Dragon Flight that does business with Magnawell-san, runs a jewelry store that does business with Isis-san, owner of the floating castle that’s the main tourist attraction in the royal capital, received the True Blessings of the Supreme God Chronois-san, and remembered by the Six Kings…… It’s definitely more than enough. In fact, thinking about it again, the stuff I just mentioned was quite outrageous.

  With the situation like this, could it be that perhaps, Lilia-san already has more authority than the current King, Ryze-san?

  The shopping area for the wealthy really wasn’t too far from the restaurant, so we were able to arrive there quickly…… but as expected, being that their target customers were different, the stores here in the wealthy area weren’t in the form of stalls, but in bona fide stores, having exterior designs that were quite luxurious.

  It seems that each store is divided into different categories such as food and interior decorations, and it looks like there are quite a few stores.

  For the time being, we first started to go to a store that sold items that even we knew, such as Shallow Grande and Glorious Tea.

  It seemed like they sell a variety of drinks, including that grape juice Sky-san brought us earlier.

  I thought it might be a good idea to buy some if I could find some good drinks, but when we entered the store……


  [Arehh?]

  [Unnn? Oya oya, oya oya, I see we will meet again! I’m glad, I’m glad, this nice coincidence brings a smile to my face!]

  I saw Jutia-san holding a container that seemed to contain black tea…… Glorious Tea in her hand. Perhaps, the place she needed to go was the shopping area for the wealthy?

  [Ohh, that’s right, that’s right, I haven’t introduced myself yet, have I? I’m Jutia, nice to meet you again.]

  [I’m Miyama Kaito. Nice to meet you too.]

  [Ahh, I see, I see, I was thinking you were kinda familiar, but it’s you huh. Tis great, tis great, I greatly welcome coincidences like this!]

  It was an expected encounter, but just like before, Jutia-san had a big smile on her face, which made me feel a little happy.

  In the midst of all this…… Out of the corner of my eye, I caught a glimpse of two contrasting figures: Lilia-san looking at the sky with a hand covering her eyes, and Sieg-san looking at me with sparkling, happy eyes.

  [Afterword]

  【Great Tree Princess, Jutia】


  A petite, cheerful woman who is always smiling. Even though she had a small stature in contrast to her second name, Great Tree, the Tree Spirit Jutia has a fighting form that’s fused with a tree, just like Lillywood, and that form of hers shows her enormousness.

  She is always cheerful and smiling, and even her fellow Seven Princesses have never seen her get angry. She is worshiped like a God by the Elves.

  She sometimes adds [-zeh] to her words, depending on her mood. There is no rule she follows where she adds that, it really just depends on her mood.

  (Note: I won’t add that last part in translation. Also, Jutia’s name may have come from her second name, Great Tree (Taiju), reversed. Well, kinda.)
