Chapter 2046: At the New Stores ㉓
Speaking of Nifty, I received a thank-you letter and a beautiful handkerchief from Eris-san, who had accompanied me to the store. The handkerchief has elegant embroidery, including Nifty\'s logo, which surprised me. In the letter, Eris-san wrote, "I\'m embarrassed as it\'s just amateur work", so it seems she embroidered it herself.
It seems it\'s common for noble ladies to take up embroidery as a hobby, but the craftsmanship was so fine that it could be sold in a shop, leading me to think Eris-san must be quite skilled.
How should I say this…… Receiving such a heartfelt, handmade item rather than an expensive one makes me really happy. I’d like to return the favor somehow.
[……By the way, what are you three up to?]
[Milord, good morning! Together with Illness-san and Canalis-san, we\'re just getting ready to make some glass.]
[Good morning, Nebula…… Oh, is this about making glass products like you mentioned before?]
Nebula responded with a bright smile when I asked what they were doing as they gathered in the backyard with Illness-san and Canalis-san. I recall her saying something about wanting to try making glass items before, so I figure it must be related to that.
After a quick greeting with Illness-san and Canalis-san, I glanced around but didn’t see any kilns or equipment.[……Arehh? You don\'t seem to have any kiln or anything like that though. Are you planning to make one now, Canalis-san?]
[Yeah, pretty much. Since harmful substances might be released during production and a proper kiln can get quite large, we were thinking about building it in a subspace. We figured that while we\'re at it, it would be more convenient if we just built a whole workshop in there, including the pottery kilns. Tahaa~~ The Almighty God of Home Renovation, at your service~~!]
[Having all the equipment gathered in one place would be very helpfuuuuul. Maybe we could move the tea trees and cacao plants there tooooooo.]
Thanks to Canalis-san, who can basically do anything, it seems like Nebula and Illness-san are expanding the scope of their creative hobbies. It’s great to see them enjoying themselves.
At this rate, they might eventually have a massive workshop in the subspace where they can make just about anything, and honestly, that sounds pretty fun.
[Hmmm. Maybe it’d be best to just create a door that only select people can pass through? There’s no need to build a camouflaged building in the backyard of Kaito-sama\'s house……]
[In that caaaaase, wouldn’t the place where the kilns are set up right now be the best optioooooooon?]
[That sounds good. That spot wouldn’t get in the way of anything.]
The three of them were chatting excitedly, and watching over them like that somehow felt so heartwarming. If they start making glass, I’m sure they\'ll create something beautiful, and combining it with woodworking or other crafts could be interesting.
Well, knowing the three of them, they’re bound to make something amazing. We probably won’t be selling the glass products, but I’m interested, so I’ll make sure to watch when they start crafting.
Come to think of it, I remember Cien-san mentioning at the Founding Festival that he collects glass products. If Nebula and the others are okay with it, maybe we could give her one as a gift once they finish making something.
After returning to my room from the garden, I took out a wooden box containing a table clock from the magic box. This is the last one left, aside from the one I gave to Eris-san and the one I’m using myself…… but what should I do with it?
I’d like to give it to someone before I forget, but no one who particularly likes wooden items comes to mind…… Maybe Lilia-san would like it? It seems like something she could use on her desk for work…… Unnn, I\'ll give it to Lilia-san as a gift.
<Afterword>
Serious-senpai : [Rather than gifting something expensive, giving something she made herself shows that she really understands Kaito. It’s probably why he likes Eris that much…… Well, that aside, just when I thought she managed to avoid the stomachache, it seems that the Ultimate Stomachache Warrior was just about to get hit by a delayed stomachache……]
