Oh no! After I Reincarnated, My Moms Became Son-cons!

“Wow, now this is what you call a candy store…”

I never expected there to be so many varieties of candy in the present era. The last time I saw candy, it was a ball of sugar wrapped in a small cloth pouch with a childish embroidery pattern on it. On the counter were meticulously made candy. Judging from the transparent amber colour, it must’ve been made from honey. The candies also came in all sorts of different shapes.

The children gathered around outside and looked over. Lots of adults were also selecting candy for their children. Ordinary candy from the modern day was considered a luxury good here. Rosvenor Empire didn’t seem to have an area that manufactured candy, which was why the candy available was imported from across the ocean. Though the only port was under the empire’s control, thereby lowering the prices of candy, it still wasn’t cheap enough for commoners to afford as a “normal” commodity.

“Nier, which one do you want?” I asked as I scrutinised the candies.

Slightly perplexed as Nier didn’t respond, I turned around to look at her. To my surprise, she was standing up with her back erect and arms folded as she stared at the door. I suddenly remembered that she was my bodyguard while we were out. Normally, a master wouldn’t discuss what was desired with his bodyguard. Hence, I had to make the call on my own.

I filled the bag with a few varieties before handing it to the owner. The owner took the bag with a smile: “What are you purchasing so much candy for? Did you want to have an outdoor meal with your bodyguard? You sure have a great relationship, huh? I have never seen that uniform before, though. Is that… the Valkyries? Oh, it’s not. That is not how the Valkyries’ uniform looks.”

“Uhh… She’s not a Valkyrie. I, myself, designed the uniform. Though she is a bodyguard, that was in the past. She’s now my wife, but she really likes my clothes.”

I smiled. I grabbed Nier’s cloak and tugged it. Hesitantly, she shyly leaned onto me and forced a smile. Nier still wasn’t use to smiling to those she wasn’t acquainted with.

After neatly packing my order, the owner enviously praised, “So, you are a tailor? For you to be able to earn so much as a tailor goes to show that you are masterful at your craft.”
