“Yes? But if you do that, you will lose Miss Emir. Five gold coins and one gold nugget, and the smallest one too?”

“No. All Alice has is expensive pure gold, and what I have is money made of gold and other metals. For 5 gold coins, you can buy that size of gold. But it’s a little short, so I’ll give you one more silver coin.”

“Wow, I think Lady Emir is really smart. You’re incredible”

Alice was amazed. In fact, it would be a lie to say that I’ll have to give one more silver coin to get the correct value.

Five gold coins would be enough, but obviously those candies are difficult to buy with gold coins.

Alice exchanged my money for gold nuggets.

“Now I can buy that candy!”

Then she smiled brightly and rejoiced.

Alice soon ran to the stall and bought the candy.

The shopkeeper looked displeased when she offered the gold coins. I went over and whispered in her ear.

“Give the silver coins, Alice.”

“Ah yes!”

In fact, even with silver coins, it was enough to buy more than half of the candy here.

Alice bought an amount of candy that we could all eat two, and she was given the change.

“Come on, everyone, eat the candy!”

Alice smiled and handed us the candy.

Thanks to this, we each walked with a lollipop in each hand.

While walking, Cedric stopped in front of a store.

It was a general merchandise store selling ties, hats, and belts.

“Cedric, would you like to buy a tie as a gift?”

“Yes, maybe, my older brother often wears a tie or cravat. Wouldn’t it be nice to give it as a gift?”

Having said that, Cedric entered the store. Suddenly, we went together.

“Welcome!”

The store owner welcomed as many as six customers at once without any doubt.

Perhaps on the surface we look like full grown-ups.

Even our voice sounded like it had passed through puberty.

It was clear that even if he paid attention to our tone and actions, he wouldn’t noticed that we had used artifacts.

‘…But the problem is that everyone is holding lollipops as big as their faces in both hands. That is the point.’

I decided to follow Cedric’s footsteps.

The first place Cedric looked at was none other than the hat corner.

I tilted my head.

“Cedric, didn’t you say you were buying a tie?”

“…Oh, sure. It was.”

Contrary to what he said, Cedric’s gaze did not fall from one hat.

It had a neat style and a dark blue color, but when I looked closely, I thought that somehow it would fit perfectly with the uniform Cedric is wearing now.

‘Oh, is that so? Are you contemplating whether or not to buy it?’

It seemed that my thinking was not wrong.

After a while, Cedric carefully asked me for an opinion.

“Don’t you think that hat would look good on me?”

“Yes. I think it will go well with the clothes you’re wearing now.”

“As expected! I was thinking the same thing, Emir.”

Then, out of nowhere, he puts out a palm to me.

I wondered, ‘What are you doing all of a sudden?’

Before Cedric’s hand became even more awkward, I clapped his hands together.

“Yes, for some reason we have the same opinion. Me and Cedric.”

Afterwards, Cedric bought the hat with a satisfied face.

No, wait. Aren’t you going to buy a tie?

“……right. I was here to buy a present for my brother, right?”

Cedric was startled by my point.

It must have been that he got distracted for a while because he was obsessed with the hat.

“Can I help you choose a tie?”

“You’re going to help me? Well, then take care of it”

Cedric pretended to listen to my offer and asked me to follow.

I followed Cedric’s footsteps.

Finally stopping at the tie corner, we stared at the various fabrics.

Somehow, the colorful patterns made my eyes hurt.

‘Let’s choose something simple!’

I don’t know if Cedric knows his brother’s taste well, but when he doesn’t know, the best answer is to choose something that is unconditionally acceptable.

‘Then what are the other children going to be doing?’

Putting Cedric aside for a moment, who was staring straight ahead, I looked around the store.

‘Hmm, everyone is looking at the items they are interested in.’

I turned my head again and looked at Cedric.

Cedric was thinking about two ties with a pretty serious expression on his face.

‘Umm? I don’t think that’s right.’

But somehow, it seemed that the two items Cedric was holding didn’t seem right for some reason.

To be precise, the embroidered pattern that was placed on it was very unique and popped out.

“Cedric, will you give me one of them?”

I approached cautiously, trying to convince him to give up the choice.

Then, Cedric asked back as if what was I talking about.

“No? I’ve already chosen a gift for my eldest brother. Here it is. look.”

“Ummm… it’s fine.”

There was no decoration on the wine-colored background, but instead, a boutonniere with a small jewel was included as a set.

Surprisingly, Cedric continued speaking while I was trying not to be too harsh on Cedric’s unexpected taste.

“And this is it. I was thinking about which of the two would suit me.”

“Yes?”

Without realizing it, I reacted with frustration.

Sure enough, he was trying to choose between a fluorescent tie embroidered with dragon embroidery, or a white with splendid primary floral vines?

Seeing my reaction, Cedric narrowed his eyes.

“Why not?”
