"Portal Stone?

"Hmm. It was our great treasure of Schultria, Po 'Vo 'Tarru 'St 'Von!

Deal answers with his hands wide open. Seems like it's full of gaps, but Celine doesn't move. I'm sure you're going to listen to me for now, thank you.

"What do you say, kid? You want the treasure of Surtoria, don't you?

Deal takes a step forward of me. The face was full of confidence that I couldn't refuse the offer. Unexpectedly, I'd say, "But I refuse," but... portal stone? That's what I want.

The world is full of danger, even if it is not run by adventurers who jump into danger themselves. I don't know when I'll get caught up in an incident or a disaster. I'm a little worried that the destination is fixed, but it still won't replace life.

It's such a wonderful item that of course I've asked Celine before if I could make my own.

According to the story I heard at that time, Deal, who has administrative authority, has the task of registering the villagers in the portal crystal in addition to walking around. As long as they don't do this, they'll be able to refine the portal stones and play the mana. I think it was a critical trick to pour my mana through Celine and refine the portal stone.

It's obvious that Deal has an unusual feeling about the village, so there won't be any extra people like me to register - I gave up getting it, but Deal offered me a suggestion. There's no way you won't take this opportunity.

But hurry is forbidden. I answered Deal, careful not to get stuck.

"I think it's an amazing item, and if you say so...."

Deal nods with satisfaction at my words. [M] Ah, I wanted to say "but I refuse"...

"Mmm-hmm. It is only natural that our children want the treasure of Surtoria. Now that I am in charge of the Portal Crystal, I will allow you to refine the Portal Stone!

"But is it okay for Deal to decide for himself?

I am worried that Deal's opinions alone will give me access to valuable items in the village. At that time, Tori and one of the elders met.

"Oh, don't worry about the Presbyterian Council. I trust you not to abuse it, and if you say the loudest deals are better, then no one else will."

Nevertheless, the village of Half is exclusive and respectful of commandments - my selfish image collapsed quickly, with the exception of Deal, while I was here, but it seemed relaxed after all. Deal raised his voice with his chest up.

"Fuhaha! That's it! Children don't care about anything.... but I don't know! Let me offer you some terms too!

You said it was a takeover. The biggest problem is here. I swallowed Gokri and spit and waited for his words.

"There's only one condition! Until the Portal Stone is complete, the child and his sister promise not to step out of this Shrutoria! If you don't get out of Sturtoria, there won't be any reason for Celine to leave, will there?

That's what Deal said and laughed loudly, holding his cape still longer.

"My child... This genius is already on the lookout for some involvement in Celine's portal stone refining. If you were my apprentice, it wouldn't take long to finish.... three months like Celine... no, about two months? Kuku, this is a serious fight between me and my children! And this adversity also ignites love, and Celine finally! Finally! Now! You will accept my love! Come on, swallow this condition or not! Answer me!

Then I heard a sharp voice before I answered Deal's question. Celine.

"Marc, don't listen to Deal! We need to get back to your parents and show them our faces as soon as possible!

"... Celine"

Celine turned away from Deal and persuaded me desperately...

Does it look like...? Celine's face, clearly visible to me, desperately endured a laugh from now on.

Apparently, Celine doesn't think what happens after this is going to work out for Deal.

"No... no, don't laugh yet... I can scratch...... but..."

Nicolas said the same thing. I'm glad you both know me. I turn to Deal and tell him what I want.

"I see. I accept Mr. Deal's terms.... I'm sorry, Celine. I want a portal stone, too."

That's right! Marc, please, reconsider!

Nonetheless, this Celine is a Norinori. I don't remember seeing such a fun face.

"Hey, are you sure?

"Marc, are you okay?

Tori and Esther stared at me worriedly in a direction where Celine's expression could not be seen. Tori doesn't know that I used to supply magic, and Esther once experienced it, but I'm not very good at magic, so there's something I don't understand. We need to reassure him right away.
