Chapter 16: System Inventory And Miku's Surprise
Hatsune Miku, Touya, Zanakku, and I were currently outside Zanakku's shop. There was a thread and needle logo signboard on the shop. Under that I saw letters that were meant as "Fashion King Zanakku".
After defeating the Intermediate Class Dragonfly Fureizu, there weren't any more monsters or bandits that we had encountered on our journey to Rifuretto. So, in just three hours, we arrived at Zanakku's shop in Rifuretto safely without any disturbance.
We entered Zanakku's shop. After entering Zanakku's shop, Zanakku led Touya, Miku, and me into the store's interior, where several store clerks greeted us.
"Welcome home, owner."
For a moment, I noticed that Touya was surprised by the store clerks' words.
"This is my shop. Leaving that aside, before we change your clothes, hey, somebody choose clothes that suit him!"
Zanakku urged Touya into the dressing room and pushed Touya into it.

[Time Skip-a few minutes]
After Touya was forced to sell all of his clothes and was given one set of clothes by Zanakku, Zanakku gave Touya ten gold coins.
After asking Zanakku about the nearest inn, Touya went outside after giving his farewell to us.
"So Katake, do you have any designs for the T-shirt and hoodie? Like a blueprint of some sort?"
Zanakku asked me as we started talking about business.
In the end, I used null magic [Drawing] on some papers that contained the designs of not only T-shirts and hoodies but also all sorts of modern clothes.
Of course, I didn't give all those things to Zanakku for free as he had agreed to raise my share to 70% from all earnings of the product of the clothes design that I had given him.
After signing the contract for our deal, I kept the contract in my left hand as Hatsune Miku and I left Zanakku's shop.
'Zenchi-san, are you there?'
[I am always here. After all, I am Omnipresent.]
'Can you add a system inventory for my Crush Crush System?'
[Why should I?]
'Because it is your OmniTravel's fault that a hole was created in this world's barrier and you didn't even fix it. For encountering an Intermediate Class Fureizu this early, I ask for a system inventory as compensation.'
[Deal.]
[If you want to use the system inventory, just think of storing something inside; if you want to take an item out, just think of taking out the item you want to remove from the system inventory.]
Just as Zenchi-san had instructed me to do, I followed his explanation as I stored the contract that I had signed with Zanakku inside my system inventory.
"Miku, I have noticed that you don't have any weapons to defend yourself with, so please make do with this. I promise that I will give you better weapons and artifacts that are befitting of your status as the hime-sama of this world!"
I promised Miku as I handed her the glass knife that I had forged from the dragonfly fureizu corpse. She received the glass knife from me, which disappeared in an instant after she took it.
'Does Miku also have storage magic? Zenchi-san didn't tell me about this.'
[You didn't ask me.]
And before I could complain to Zenchi-san, I noticed that Miku's face was now in front of me as I felt a soft sensation on my lips. Miku's moist lips came in contact with mine as she gave me a chaste kiss while hugging my nape with both of her hands.
I failed as a man! I let her take the initiative like a beta MC!
But who cares? It's not like I am complaining. Since it only proved that Miku did love me. And Tsundere and Himedere taking the initiative was something new.
So, I didn't care anymore about anything as I sank into the feeling of Miku's soft and moist lips.
After a minute, Miku released her lips from mine to catch her breath.
"Arigatou, Katake!"
Miku thanked me as she hugged me, which prompted me to return the hug as well.
After our minute-long hug, Hatsune Miku and I headed to the Silver Moon Inn to stay for the night.
***
ShadowKatake's Note: Arigatou means "thank you" in Japanese. I mean, it is impossible for those who watch anime with Japanese Dub and English Sub to not know about this word.
I had planned to insert this note after Miku spoke, "Arigatou, Katake!" but I didn't do it as I knew it would break the immersion. So, I placed the note at the end of the chapter instead.
