Having learned from my first mistake, I decided to refer to Alice's guidebook from then on.
The stores not listed in this guidebook shouldn't be under the control of the Six Kings, as they had joined later. There are some stores that aren't under the control of the Six Kings that were prepared by applying in advance, but the description written in the guidebook also stated if that was the case.
And then, I guess it's really to be expected from the subordinates of the Six Kings…… It's also the same case for the Peerage-holders, but they weren't running away, even when they were standing before Isis-san. Well, though I say that, they weren't able to completely endure being exposed to Isis-san's magic power of death if they didn't have the strength that is nearly on par with her, so most of them had shaking legs and pale faces.
But still, the subordinates of the Six Kings didn't run away. If they had ran away, it would be an act equivalent to ruining the reputation of their master, the Six Kings, so they held unto their willpower and served us, their customers.
The tremblings of the Baron-ranks and the Viscount-ranks were quiet loud, but the Count-ranks were able to somewhat endure it with just their faces turning pale, which showed just how strong their abilities were. It seems like Ozma-san was able to converse with us with his usual wry smile on his face, so I guess the Count-ranks were on another level compared to the Baron-ranks.
[……What an interesting ornament. You joined feathers together to make this?]
[……This is…… an ornament of the Winged…… that lives in the Eastern part of the Demon Realm…… which they used…… in their prayers.]
[I see.]
As one would expect from a huge flea market, there were all sorts of unusual items on display. Thanks to the knowledgeable Isis-san, who I was going around with, I was able to get explanations about things I didn't know, which was something I very much appreciated.
[This Winged you mentioned, are they different from the Harpies?]
[……Unnn…… Harpies are Humans…… The Winged are Demons…… They resemble each other…… but they're a little different.]
[Fumu.]
Speaking of which, I've heard of the Harpies before, but I've never seen one before. I had vaguely imagined that the Harpies had wings instead of arms, while the Winged had wings growing out of their backs. I'd really like to meet them if I had the opportunity.
With such things in mind, I was looking around the stalls with Isis-san…… when an accessory suddenly caught my eyes.
[……Arehh? The decoration on this brooch, it's that flower that Isis-san gave me before, right?]
[……Unnn…… Blue Crystal Flower…… It's a flower that doesn't wither at all…… so it's popularly used…… as an ornament.]
The stall that caught my eyes had a variety of accessories on display, one of which was the flower I received when I first met Isis-san.
The price was…… one gold coin!? In other words, one of these was a million yen!?
[……It's an incredibly expensive item, isn't it?]
[……No…… Blue Crystal Flowers…… aren't that…… rare…… I think this price…… is probably because…… the maker…… is popular.]
[Ahh, so that's why it's expensive. Errr…… "Florence"…… Is that the maker's name?]
[……Unnn…… She's very popular…… but she's……. quite whimsical…… so she hardly…… makes accessories.]
According to Isis-san, it was a rare and precious work that really didn't come around very often, so we may have been lucky to have found it here.
[……Incidentally…… Florence…… is "Shalltear".]
" "
[……Huh?]
