Chapter 2098: Date Plan Execution ㉟
[Come to think of it, Kaito-kun, you didn’t buy anything, did you?]
[Hmm, there were some nice designs, but…… I didn’t find anything that seemed to suit my room.]
[Yeah, having that kind of compatibility is important. By the way, Kaito-kun, do you already have any tabletop decorations or anything like that in your room?]
[Errr, there’s a desk I often use to write in my diary, and I have a rose herbarium displayed on it.]
Although I don’t write in it daily like before, I still keep a diary for days when something memorable happens. Sometimes, flipping through it and recalling moments, having fun reminiscing.
Anyway, there’s a desk I use for writing diaries or letters, and on it is the herbarium I received from Rosemary-san.
[H- How stylish…… I guess a guy who’s popular is also stylish with his room decor.
[Ah, no, the herbarium is something I was given…… It’s a gift from Rose Princess Rosemary-san.][……Y- You’re still unbelievable as ever…… Rosemary-sama’s herbarium is the kind of thing that would occasionally get displayed at events like the Festival of Heroes, you know?]
[Eh? Is that so?]
Unexpected information came to light. It’s true that Rosemary-san has an incredible artistic sense, and even an amateur like me can see how beautiful the rose herbarium is. I also recalled Sieg-san praising it when she visited my room.
[Rose Princess Rosemary is famous even in the field of arts, and her flower arrangements and similar creations are extremely popular. However, being known as the "Aloof Rose", she almost never interacts with anyone outside the World King’s faction, nor does she sell her works or accept commissions. As far as I know, she sometimes contributes to events like the Festival of Hero or Harmonic Symphony, which are connected with the World King Lillywood Yggdrasil.]
[Yes, yes, just like Olivia-sama said, Rosemary-sama’s flower arrangements and herbariums are super popular, but since she doesn’t sell them…… basically, you’d have to get them directly from her. But, you know, Rosemary-sama is cool and quiet…… I also read in a magazine once that she doesn’t take personal requests at all.]
[……I see.]
I had largely understood the information and found many parts convincing. And as always, or perhaps predictably, the public impression of Rosemary-san seems to be one of coolness and aloofness.
In reality though, it’s just that she’s extremely shy that she couldn’t accept requests from people she doesn’t know…… Even her rose-themed trinket boxes are said to be distributed only to a very select few stores……
[Well, it really is an incredibly beautiful herbarium, so it’s no wonder it’s so popular.]
[Or rather, Kaito-kun’s room probably has all sorts of amazing things without him even realizing it. I’m kind of curious to see it, but at the same time, I feel a bit scared…… W- Well, putting that aside, where should we go next?]
Hearing Kaori-san’s words, which were intended to change the topic, Eris-san’s shop came to mind. It was just a short walk from where we were now, so it might be nice to stop by.
[There’s a chocolate shop nearby run by a friend of mine. How about we check it out?]
[Oh, that sounds great. I love chocolate.]
[A shop owned by a friend of Miyama Kaito-sama huh…… That sounds interesting.]
Since neither of them seemed to have any objections, we decided on Eris-san’s chocolate shop as our next destination and began walking again.
<Afterword>
Serious-senpai : [……Yeah, great. Just before heading off to lunch, let\'s give someone stomachache along the way.]
