Chapter 361 - Finding a Spoon for ShiggyChapter 361 – Finding a Spoon for Shiggy
After checking through the market, it was evening.
I left Tom, Kay, and Steff at Tom’s house, and left for the capital.
I went with Vi-Vi: I wore the wolf mask, she wore the cow mask.
Millia went with us to Linmia, to stock up for the town.
「Nice to see you wolf-mask…and Master Viscount.」
Always the same greeting.
「We’ve come to stock up for the town.」
「We’re prepared for that. Please, this way.」
This time we were brought to a negotiation room, not the usual Linmia father’s office.
From there Millia and Cruz did most of the talking.
Millia spoke about the resources needed, Cruz about the money.
For me, I just let Cruz, Millia, and Yureena do all the work.
So I stood up and walked over to the store floor.
Vi-Vi, Moofy, and Femm walked out with me.
「You going to buy something?」
「Yeah, I’m looking for a spoon for Shiggy.」
「ryaa」
Shiggy cried out from inside the pouch.
「Really? Then we’ll look too.」
「Sure.」
So we all looked for Shiggy’s spoon.
But a spoon like the one Shiggy needs isn’t in a regular set.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt「Not really a lot of spoons that Shiggy can use.」
「Yeah, she can’t eat much with a small one.」
「Hmph.」
As we were talking, we heard,
「Ah, the wolf, you’re with Yureena.」
It was Yureena’s mother.
Since I was hiding that I was Alfred, she just called me the wolf.
「Wuff.」
「Cute as always, Femm and Moofy.」
Since Femm had responded to being called “the wolf,” she rubbed Femm’s head.
Then she also rubbed Moofy with the other.
「Yureena is in the negotiations room with Cruz and Millia.」
「I thought you were good with negotiations, Mr. Wolf?」
「No, no, no…」
「No need to be humble.」
「No, it’s not humility.」
I think she tended to flatter others quite a bit.
「And you came along as well, Vi-Vi.」
So the mother patted Vi-Vi’s head as well.
Contrary to what I thought, Vi-Vi didn’t resist it.
「If you’re bored, why not come over here? I have snacks.」
「ryaa?」
Shiggy peeked out as soon as she heard snacks.
Usually Shiggy tried to hide so that she wouldn’t be noticed.
With just her beak out, she kind of just looked like a lizard,
「Thank you so much, but actually I’m looking for something.」
「Hmmm?」
「Shiggy’s been using a spoon recently, but she’s just too big for a regular spoon.」
「Is that so? Well then…」
Yureena’s mother thought a bit.
Then she smiled at me.
「Well, for now, let’s sit and think it over with something to eat.」
「Wuff」
「Moo moo」
「ryaa」
The beasts seemed happy about that.
Then Yureena’s mother smiled at them.
「I need to know how big Shiggy’s body and claws are then.」
「Okay, then we’ll sit and spend a little time, I guess.」
So we went to a waiting room at the back of the store.
Someone brought tea and snacks, and Yureena’s mother said to the attendant,
「I need you to bring spoons of all sizes and shapes in here, please.」
「Yes ma’am.」
Shiggy took a cookie in both hands and ate.
「ryaamm ryamm」
「We have cakes as well.」
「ryaa」
After eating a cookie, Shiggy took a spoon in both hands.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe probably wanted to eat a cake with it.
「This one’s too big for her, though.」
「Her body is a bit small, but she eats a lot. So…」
「I see. So something like a teaspoon would take too much time.」
「Yes.」
Vi-Vi measured the length of Shiggy’s arm, the width of her claw, and her height.
Since she knew how to sew, Vi-Vi was excellent with measuring.
While this was going on, an attendant arrived with a rolling tray filled with different spoons and ladles.
「These are all the different spoons in the store, ma’am.」
「Thank you. We have more that we could order though, right?」
Yureena’s mother asked with a smile.
「Yes, but these are all the ones as large as a spoon that we sell at the store.」
Seems that they could order a whole bunch of different designs as well.
「Thank you for all your help.」
I said to the attendant.
Kind of rude to thank her with the wolf mask on, but whatever.
「Shiggy, does one of these look easy to use?」
「ryaa?」
Shiggy took some spoons in her hands.
I took one that was right in front of me, a short tea spoon.
「Something like this is easy for you to use?」
「ryaa」
Shiggy took it in hand as if to use it.
「Something like this, but with a bigger scoop?」
「ryaa!」
「Then I’ll have it made, immediately.」
「Thank you.」
Seems like Shiggy would get the spoon she needed.
