　In the evening, after classes were over, I went to ask for the selection tournament to be cancelled.

"Excuse me"

　I bow and leave the student affairs office.

"So, how was it?"

　Hyoro and Jaga, who were waiting outside, approached.

"It's impossible since the tournament pairing has already been decided."

　I sigh.

"Well, cheer up. If you show your good side, you'll be popular, right?"

"That's right, a pinch is a chance, isn't it?"

　I shook my head.

"It's not about winning or losing, it's just that I don't want to go out."

"It can't be helped. I'll introduce you to a good shop, so cheer up."

"Is it a good store?"

　Jaga says with a rough snort.

"Oops, it's not that store. This is Mitsugoshi Co. which is the talk of the town these days. They seem to sell all sorts of new stuff and chocolate in between is sweet and delicious."

"Is it a sweet candy? It's nice."

"Idiot, why don't you eat yourself?"

　Hyoro hits Jaga on the head.

"I'm going to give a present to a woman.

"I see. As expected of Hyoro-kun, it's a good learning experience."

"Daro..."

　Said Hyoro proudly.

"Okay, let's go, Sid."

"Let's go, Sid-kun."

　Two people with shining eyes.

"Okay, let's go."

　I said with a sigh.

　I'm also a little interested in the chocolates of this world.

　Hyoro led me to the main street of the royal capital. In the evening, the streets are full of people, and all the shops in the prime locations are booming. Then among them, the one with the most people is the rumored Mitsugoshi Co.

"Wow, that's amazing"

　A new high-rise building. Moreover it has good taste and even has a modern atmosphere. How should I put it, the out of place feeling I felt when I visited a first-class brand store in my previous life was maxed out.

　And there was a long line at the entrance. All the lined up customers were their nobles or relatives. All top customers can be recognized at a glance. At the end of the line stood an older sister in uniform holding a placard. She now has an 80 minute wait.

"80 minutes wait"

　I said

"It looks like I'll be able to make it in time for the dormitory's curfew somehow."

　Said Jaga.

"We've come this far, so let's line up."

　Said Hyoro.
