Chapter 2378: Purchase of Exclusive Brush
This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl
The application for a custom brush at the Victor Trading Company was completed without issue. Of course, ordering doesnt mean the brush will be ready immediately, it will be shipped at a later date.
Yes, thats the proper way of things usually are. Recently, though, with Canalis-san being so absurdly capable that she can prepare things instantly upon request, my sense of whats normal has gotten a little dulled. But naturally, it takes time, so Ill just enjoy waiting for it.
[How should I say this We finished faster than I imagined.]
[Yes. Normally, considering the material or combination for the brush would take time, but since you went with ordering all types, that step was skipped. In a way, it was inevitable]
[I guess so. That part usually takes the longest, doesnt it?]
That was exactly right, normally, the most time-consuming part is choosing the shape or material of the brush while working within a budget.
But I forcefully cut through that, ordering every possible combination, so it was only natural that the order was finished quickly.
[Well, anyway, just like we talked about on the way here, lets go listen to the Allegra Symphony perform ah, but theres the matter of the concert times, right?]
[Yes, I had Anne look into the performance times and available seats Lets see, how is it?]
[Yes, Lady Cornelia. Heres a summary of todays schedule. The next available one is at this time. As for seats, the top-tier ones are already full, but the others still have openings, so I think tickets can be purchased without issue.]
O- Ohhh, impressive preparation. While I was handling the order at the Victor Trading Company with Cornelia-san, it seems shed already instructed Anne-san to gather details about the concert times and seat availability, so the information we needed was provided right away.
As I was thinking that, Alice suddenly appeared before me.
[Kaito-san, want to buy tickets? Ive got two adjacent top-tier seats here, and one seat just behind them thats perfect for a bodyguard]
[Hmmm. Sure, better seats are always preferable, so Ive no problem buying them but that look on your face, youre scheming something, arent you?]
[My, whatever do you mean? Oh, and dont worry about resale or anything shady like that. I own the rights to that concert hall, so I just secured them using that authority.]
Alice waved the three tickets in her hand with a playful grin, the kind she always wears when shes up to mischief.
That said, the seats themselves are undeniably good, and the arrangement seems ideal too. But still, I cant shake the feeling shes scheming something
[Cornelia-san, what do you think? No doubt theyre good seats, but Im pretty sure shes scheming something.]
[Well given that were talking about Phantasmal King-sama, a person of such insight and strategy, its only natural that even a single action of hers would carry multiple intentions]
[No, its not that sort of thing. This feels more like the kind of mischief she has when she finds something amusing though I cant really figure out what exactly.]
[If theyre seats recommended by Phantasmal King-sama, then I dont think there can be a mistake. And in terms of respecting her wishes as well, those seats seem best They are top-tier seats, after all, so they should be excellent for enjoying the performance.]
I knew Alice well enough to be certain shes somehow finding something amusing but what, exactly, she found amusing in sitting in specific seats at a concert hall and listening to a band, I couldnt begin to guess. She wouldnt do anything Id truly hate, but the whole thing still felt suspicious.
Cornelia-san, on the other hand, wasnt familiar with Alices mischief, so she seemed to be viewing the situation as though the Phantasmal King had some lofty scheme in mind and looked inclined to agree to the purchase.
[Well, alright then, Alice. Ill buy those seats.]
[Yes yes, thank you for the purchase~~ Regular price is fine.]
Just as Cornelia-san had said, they really were good seats, so though still doubtful, I purchased the tickets. Once she finished taking my payment, Alice gave a soft smile, then clapped Cornelia-san lightly on the shoulder.
[Honestly, I find you a bit pitiful, so Ill tweak things on the information side and cover for you.]
[P- Phantasmal King-sama? W- Why are you looking at me with such pity? Am I going to suffer some kind of tragic fate in those seats?]
[No, no. If its Kaito-san were talking about, things will probably happen regardless of the seats, or even before you get to them, really. So in that sense, the seats dont really matter Anyway, good luck!]
[P- Phantasmal King-sama? Phantasmal King-sama!!!]
After giving a firm thumbs-up, Alice vanished. Cornelia-san, face gone pale, called out to her, but she never reappeared.
Serious-senpai : [So, seats close to the Megiddo and Magnawell?]
? ? ? : [More like right next to them. Well, honestly, ticket or not, theyll probably end up running into them in front of the theater anyway so in the sense of sitting near acquaintances you happen to bump into, this is actually a good cover. If Gorilla-san or Kaito-san are around, they might even force their way into nearby seats too]
Serious-senpai : [Yeah, true. Even if you dont do anything, running into them is a given. And in the end, if the outcome just guarantees a bit of backup, then for Cornelia its actually a plus]
