sixty.

Really? Is it true?

I still stared at Dennis with a sharp look.

"Oh, I can make it. It will match better than other dragon bones. Your brother has a good sense."

At that time, the woman quickly accepted the bid and grinned. Then she put out her business card.

The business card said Blamey Hoop.

Blamey Hoop? Hmm. That's a name I've heard a lot from somewhere...

I stared at the business card for a long time, in a daze. Then Blamey said.

"It's my business card. If you don't remember the location of the store when you come to pick up your goods, you can pick it up at the address written on there."

"Can you send it by courier? I'm only
planning to stay during the festival."

"Oh! Don't worry. The ma'at will be completed on the last day of the festival. And since you provided the ingredients, I'll give you a discount. Please give me half the deposit first."

Blamey skillfully tapped the calculator and showed the estimate.

Ack. How much is this?

My mouth dropped at the price that was extremely expensive compared to the broom and the carpet.

I heard that magic products are very expensive because there are so few people who can make them.

Seeing Dennis nodding his head, it seemed like she wasn't overcharging us.

Dennis said in a different sense, surprised.

"How can it be produced so quickly? You must be a first-class magician."

"Yes. I don't lie about that."

Blamey replied with a grin.

Of course, that meant that anything else could be deceiving.

She seemed proud of her work.

Dennis thrust out the moneybag of gold coins.

"Oh, yes! This solves the overdue monthly rent and material credit!"

As soon as Blamey received the money, she exclaimed in a refreshed voice and kissed the moneybag.

That was the amount of money to buy a house in Hisaya. Of course, it won't cost you maintenance.

How much debt do you have...

I left the store, looking at her with sad eyes.

"Oh! I remember!"

Blamey Hoop! Why did I forget that?!

I stopped taking a lower-body bath in the bathtub and shouted something that flashed in my mind. Then May asked in surprise.

"Pardon? What is it, miss?"

Ack.

I quickly closed my mouth and blinked. I said aloud the words that were supposed to be kept inside.

Because we were in the bathroom, my voice rang very loudly.

T-This is very. Embarrassing?

"Uhh... I mean. Oh, today! I've been thinking a lot about snacks! I just remembered! Chocolate parfait! Right?"

I hurriedly made snacks the excuse. May then smiled, as if my answer was futile.

"Yes, that's right. Was it that exciting?"
