When we finally made it out of the crowded theater, we were still in the middle of the whirlpool of people.
A little fed up with the situation, we broke away from the flow of people heading to the end of the handshake event and the parking lot and started walking toward the main street.
The noon show had just finished.
There was still enough time to have dinner and then split up.
As we started talking about where to go, Ehra raised his hand saying “Ah, right….”.
「Sawadi-kun, can you do me a little favor……」
「Eh? What is it? Did you get a tooth decay or something?」
「No, that’s not it. Actually, there’s something my wife is asking for. If it’s convenient for you, can you do me a favor……」
「What is it? Yomenes’ autograph? 」
「Autograph? Why would she even need that? I’m asking for clothes. She want Sawadi-kun’s baseball team’s uniform.」
「Ah, you mean the red jacket? I see a lot of people wearing it these days.」
「Yeah, that one……so, do you still have some……」
The jacket that Ehra and Jinni are talking about was the bright red blouson with a scorpion embroidered on the back. The same Schenker Scorpions blouson that I made the princess-sama wear at the baseball stadium.
I just gave it to her out of concern and now it’s selling like hotcakes. It’s all thanks to the princess-sama effect.
The baseball stadium, which used to be a sacred place of bulky men, was suddenly overflowing with ladies who wanted blouson. The staff of the stadium had a hard time, though not as hard as those in the theater.
The manager of the stadium, among others, was summoned by the eminent noble ladies of Torquiva and had to apologize again and again for running out of stock……

One of the last victims of princess-sama, “Eloquence” Corvus who’s at the baseball stadium behind the Gemini Theater.
「The “Great Scorpion’s” jacket. As many as master wishes.」
Corvus, a dark-haired middle-aged man, said those while rubbing his hands like a manga character in the manager’s office of the baseball stadium.
This game came into our house as a spearman……
In the first adventurer’s group he joined, he was caught and got beaten half dead by the scalekin Mince for loaning money with high interest……
At the factory where he was assigned next, he persuaded the workers to improve their own processes but when he was caught shortening his work hours without reporting it to his superiors, he was stuffed down hard by Chicken…..
Then, he was sent to sales and was given an ultimatum, “If you do anything wrong again, you’ll be fired.”. There, he showcased his great eloquence skill as a salesman and his performance improved rapidly…..
In addition to his over the top verbal skills, he is also known for his mysterious knowledge of manners and etiquettes and is currently the temporary manager of the baseball stadium but under a watchful eye…..
This Corvus is that kind of inedible man.
「I heard this was selling very well these days.」
「Yes, they are. We have a great number of ladies asking for them everyday but at the moment, we only have enough to give away to a few special people.」
「Things might be hard now but the fever will eventually subside. Don’t raise prices or increase production unreasonably. Booms are fleeting and if you try to ride them too hard, you’ll lose your footing.」
「Bu….? Well……does that mean you are fine with maintaining the status quo?」
「Yes. Anyway, something similar are already being sold by other stores so it will settle down soon.」
If it develops from there and becomes a standard fashion item, we should be able to make some money from it because we are the original……
Well, it’s doubtful that the boom in one remote city will go that far.
I was thinking so until……
In around one month(from now), an arrow-like inquiry of big stores from the royal capital began to arrive.

「Princess-sama was wearing that jacket in the royal capital!?」
「And the people at the clothing store in the royal capital are saying……」
The newly built Magical Schenker Group headquarters is bathed in soft afternoon sunlight.
In the office facing a letter with exaggerated letters in front of him, Chicken, our family’s vassal, dressed in a cool colored openwork knit, said in a troubled tone.
「The ladies of the royal capital who were so pleased with it says that they inquired the store they were familiar with as to where that clothes came from……」
「This is getting ridiculous.」
I never expected this to happen.
Or rather, I never thought that princess-sama would be bringing that great scorpions blouson back to the royal capital.
I thought she had left it at our mansion.
「What should we do? The other party wants to buy a hundred pieces of clothing……」
「We can’t……we don’t have any stock.」
「I told them that but they sent me an express mail saying they wanted it anyway.」
Anyway, is it……
「They said they’ll wait until the end of summer to send it over and even enclosed the deposit on the letter.」
「That’s too pushy……」
「And it’s not just one house. Three houses have sent me the same letter……one of them even has a note from a countess……」
「Countess!? That’s already power harassment!」
「Pawa…..? What’s that?」
「Anyway, we can no longer say no, right?」
「You may be able to refuse if you use your relatives……」
「That relative is what’s causing this problem……」
