Chapter 390: Takumi’s shopping spree


    It was owned by one of Gnomstoll’s leadingpanies, and it specialized in the sale of magic devices.


    They sold an array of magic devices from the 1st floor to the 3rd floor.


    「This is the ce most abundant with magic devices in the capital.」


    「There are Dwarves in the Sanctuary, but most of them took part in making alcohol. Let’s take this chance to buy all sorts of magic devices.」


    「Indeed. There might be ones that might be perfect for the Sanctuary Citizens.」


    The residences in the Sanctuary were fully equipped with water and sewer services. The residential areas of course had been installed with a Purifier MD, and it was standard for each house to be installed with a Toilet MD as well.


    But when ites to cooking, many still use a traditional stove. Lighting was also typically with oilmps too.


    「Sophia, Maria, let’s buy all sorts of souvenirs for the people in the Sanctuary.」


    「Understood. Let’s buy plenty of Light MD and Stove MDs.」


    「Right. It would be very convenient to have a magic stove for cooking.」


    Maria, who usually cooks ins the Sanctuary mansion with Marnie, agreed.


    「Y-yeah. I think it would be convenient.」


    「Sophia-san, you aren’t usually in the kitchen, though, no?」


    「<em>Urk</em>.」


    「Now, now, if you have anything else you’re interested in getting, you may as well.」


    There’s nothing Laeva and I can’t do if we try to get all the magic devices the Sanctuary needs. But I have way too much money umting. So I should buy the things I could.


    The first floor disyed a mass of magic devices. Maria and Marnie headed to the second floor to look at kitchen-rted magic devices. Akane and Lulu-chan went window shopping, wandering around to see if there’s anything interesting.


    Now then, I should also go around


    Everything inside the mansion was made by either Laeva or me, so the design was ended up being somewhat simr. Well, it’s nice having a sense of oneness, but people’s work could be stimting too..


    「Takumi-sama, the Lighiting MDs that the Dwaves made are also quite nice.」


    「That’s true. I thought they just had simple designs, but there are also those that were artistically crafted and high end too.」


    「Let’s buy many types of Lighting MDs.」


    Sophia and Maria[1] handed the clerk one magic device after the other.


    「D-dear customer, is it alright to buy these many?」


    「Yep, money is no problem.」


    「You don’t have to worry about the delivery either. We have a way to store it.」


    「I-is that so? I understand. We will get these amounts ready soon.」


    The clerk instructed another clerk to prepare Sophia and Maria’s Lighting MD order.


    「This floormp is also well made, Sophia-san.」


    「Maria, I think the type that lights up the whole room would please everyone in the Sanctuary.」


    「No way~ this is for my room.」


    「Mhmm, then there’s no problem. Then perhaps I should search for things for my own room.」


    It would seem they’re gonna search for lights for their own rooms.


    In the Sanctuary mansion, Sophia, Maria, and Marnie had their own separate bedrooms in addition to my master bedroom. That said, I never sleep alone. Somehow, a rotation had been decided before I knew it.


    「Still, there really is an abundance in variety.」


    「The dwarves over there must be a group of hard working craftsmen.」


    I’ve seen catalogues of light fixtures in Japan, but the Dwarves in this world wouldn’t lose. Ahh, by now, Japan would even have catalogues on the inte huh.


    Lighting MDs of various designs were on disy, ranging from the stand type and ceiling lights, to even theplete art pieces like sconces and chandeliers. We informed the clerk of the quantities we want of the items we liked, and the clerk noted down the type and quantity of each product.


    We haven’t really had the chance to spend money like this. Volton was one thing, but there’s absolutely no opportunity to spend money while living in the Sanctuary.


    Maria and Marnie were having some sort of discussion in front of arge magic stove.


    「What’s up?」


    「Ah! Takumi-sama. Please look at this oven. It looks very easy to use.」


    「The design is simple, and it think it would be very easy to clean too.」


    It looked like they were mulling over whether to buy it or not.


    「Hmmmm, then shouldn’t you just buy it?」


    「Is that okay?」


    「It’s a little pricey, you know?」


    「Even if you say it’s expensive, it’s not like our family can’t buy it, right? You can buy whatever what you like.」


    「「Thank you very much!」」


    Maria and Marnie thanked me happily. Was the stove at the mansioncking? Oh well. I’m not much of a cook, so I’m sure there are methods of cooking that I don’t know about.


    In the end, we spent the day shopping in the store until dusk. The mountain of products stored in a warehouse were all stored into my Item Box, but that in itself took a lot of time to do. Needless to say, the shopkeepers all looked pleased with the money that flew their way.
