The following afternoon, Cordelia hung a 『In the middle of an experiment』wooden tag on the entrance of the greenhouse and secretly went to the city together with Ronnie.
The outfit that Ronnie had prepared for Cordelia was a magicians robe, used by children, and she used the hood to completely cover her head. There werent many town girls with platinum blonde hair, and them having red eyes was even rarer. That was why, if anybody saw this combination of hair and eyes, they would know that she was a noble. Ronnie was concerned about that and seemed to have chosen the robe to hide as many of Cordelias features as possible. Cordelia would have preferred the town girl clothes better, but she had no choice but to accept the robes since he had such reasons. That was because her objective wasnt to cosplay as a town girl, but a glass that would let her magic through.
The place that Ronnie guided her to was at the corner of a street that was two streets away from the main road. The foot traffic was sparse, and would sometimes stop completely. But sometimes the sounds of various artisans at work could be heard from around the street.
Every shop around this area make their goods on orders, so even the store owners dont go out in public much.
Is that right? Its fantastic that everyone has patronage, isnt it?
Oh, this way.
Along the street, Ronnie stopped in front of a shop that looked just like a blacksmith. He pulled the door open and led Cordelia inside. It seemed that their destination was there.
She took a step inside, and the sight of many tools arranged in a disorderly fashion greeted her eyes.
The next thing she saw was ――― a single man gulping down alcohol from a bottle at the counter.
Welcome. The heck. Just when I thought it was a customer, its just Ronnie, huh. A fellow who wont bring in money, I see.
Thats cruel, Master!
Id think about serving you if you were a cute nee-chan. Business is already over for today. I was feeling good after delivering supplies to the castle, and I just had to have a drink, you know. And it became like this.
However, even while saying that, Master also said, Well, Im free anyway so Ill entertain you, while grinning. He was clearly toying with Ronnie.
In contrast to Master, Ronnie looked like he was tired from the bottom of his heart and whispered an introduction to Cordelia, Ojou-sama, this is the shops Master.
Whats this? Are you accompanying your kid today? When did you get married?
I didnt, and shes not my child! Furthermore, this child is 8, so if what Master is saying was true, then I would have had her when I was 11, you know! In the first place, todays customer is not me, but this child.
Hey, hey. I dont have any childrens introductory magic sets here, you know?
Thats not needed. What we want today isnt an introduction set, but an air-tight container made out of glass that can let this childs magic penetrate through.
Ronnie tried to cut him off and spoke disinterestedly as not to get carried away with the slightly drunk Maters pace, but he also did it out of slight concern for Cordelia. He must have been worried because Masters sharp tone was unfamiliar to a noble. But in the first place, if she cared about such things, then she wouldnt have kept Ronnie by her side, and she wouldnt ask him to bring her to this kind of place.
Cordelia thought, he really fusses over the strangest things, as if it was someone elses problem while sending him a message with her eyes, dont mind it. Ronnie saw that and sighed.
