I was Caught up in a Hero Summoning, but that World is at Peace (WN) - Chapter 1560: Gifts for My Lo

Only one original accessory for my lovers remains, the one I made for Alice. I mean, Alice getting it last is just strange.

With that in mind, I moved to the basement of my house and headed for Alice’s miscellaneous goods store, but then I suddenly thought I could just give it to the weapon store instead, so I headed over there…… when I saw the words “Currently Doing Preps” on a signboard hanging on the door, written in Japanese. Seems like I should be heading to the miscellaneous goods store instead.

With a light sigh, I touched the wall in front of the T-shaped fork in the road. It wasn’t mentioned when I was first guided around, but when the person registered on the wall at the intersection between the weapon shop and Iris’ bar touches it, a door leading directly to the miscellaneous goods store appears. This way, one can head to the miscellaneous goods store without having to pass through the bar…… My home sure has a lot of hidden gimmicks.

[……Oya? If it isn’t Kaito-san, welcome! How can I help you today?]

[……H- How shameless……]

When I went through the door and entered the miscellaneous goods store, Alice was sitting at the counter, making a deliberately surprised expression on her face.

There’s a limit to how shameless a person can be. I mean, the one waiting for me at the counter now isn’t the cat-costumed one that usually looks after the store, but Alice’s main body.

[Now then? I wonder why you visited me?]

[No, I mean, you were there when I was making them……]

[Making? Kaito-san, did you make something? How surprising. I didn’t know you had such a creative hobby…… So, what did you make?]

[…………………]

It seems that she intends to persistently claim ignorance. In fact, the kits for making the accessories were provided by Alice so the blatantness of her ignorance is already at its maximum.

I think she herself knows that she’s being shameless…… but well, I guess this is just like Alice……

[……No, actually, I made some accessories in preparation for my stall at Archlesia Empire’s upcoming Founding Festival……]

[What!? Kaito-san, you’re setting up a stall at their Founding Festival!?]

[……You know that it isn’t possible for another body of yours, clone or not, to not know about this, right?]

[Ah, that’s right. You’re offering my products there after all…… Well, let’s leave the tomfoolery aside……]

Looking at the chuckling Alice, I guess the series of shameless acting was over, so I took out the accessory I made for Alice.

Speaking of her accessory, the fact is, I had quite a bit of trouble making the accessory for Alice. The image color I had in mind for Alice is yellow or gold, so thinking about that isn’t a problem at all, but I had a hard time deciding what motif to use.

If I had associated Isis-san with Blue Crystal Flower, Alice’s motif would be a knife, a mask, or one of her stuffed costumes, and I didn’t feel any of those were clearly fitting for an accessory.

[……In the end, I ended up making it into a star shape…… Sorry it’s so simple.]

[No, no, I’m glad. Just because it’s simple doesn’t mean Kaito-san’s affection for me is small, and rather, this is the result of a lot of considerations.]

[I also wanted to make various kinds of accessories if possible, but I ended up with a lot of necklaces and brooches.]

[Well, considering the ease of making them and the ease with which the recipient can wear them, it just inevitably turns out that way, doesn’t it?]

What I prepared for Alice was a star-shaped necklace. After various considerations, choosing a necklace felt like the safest and most versatile option, one that wouldn’t go wrong.

Well, just as Alice said, brooches and necklaces are indeed easier to create in terms of shaping, making them more beginner-friendly for amateurs.

[……However, why did you expressly put off receiving it for later? Couldn’t you just receive it right then and there?]

[No, no, Kaito-san. This kind of thing requires a suitable atmosphere, mental preparations and mental preparations……]

She just said mental preparations twice. That’s definitely the main reason why, isn’t it…… Fumu, considering Alice’s character though, I can see now why she didn’t accept it at that time……

[……You mean you were simply embarrassed to accept it in the presence of Amel-san?]

[…………No, you’re mistaken. It’s not that I was embarrassed to receive it at that time, or that I didn’t feel like I could stop my face from smiling, it was just a decision I made after considering various things in general……]

[I see…… Alice, that necklace looks really good on you, making you look cute. Moreover, Alice being shy like that is also cute and something I like.]

[And why are you saying that now!? You’re clearly trying to make me feel embarrassed here…… Of course, I’m feeling shy!!! Please don’t underestimate how much of a sh*tty noob in love I am!!!]

[……I should have told you this earlier, but I don’t really think that’s something you strongly declare, you know?]

Alice, visibly blushing as she shouted in response to my words of praise, conveyed her genuine happiness and delight from my gift. Even with all her antics, seeing her like that brought a smile to my lips.

<Afterword>

? ? ? : [By the way, Sugar-senpai.]

Serious-senpai : [……Eh? Are you by chance talking about me? Stop fooling around, I’m the most serious among the serious……]

? ? ? : [No, you don’t exactly sound persuasive with your body half-turned into sugar like that…… Besides, in the afterword in the , it seemed like your true identity was revealed……]
