Helper teacher of magic girls' school

Episode 605: Taking Extracurricular Classes in North Haven ③

Competition? Half an hour has elapsed since the start.

Fran and Josephine had not been able to get anything for their product yet.

But there is no rush color for the two people who decided to be ready in a decision-breaking battle at Gems.

"Oh! Jose, that store...... could be good!

"Huh? Oh, that's that store!

"Yes!

What store did Fran and Josephine find......

It was a shop where one old lady stood in silence.

Clear magic waves were pouring out of the old lady.

She is a testament to her integrity.

The shopkeeper used an old wooden platform as an exhibition deck, and a variety of beautiful gems were placed on the used rugs covered on the deck.

However, the store was plain compared to other stores.

There were no other customers in the store because they did not draw or call in.

The old lady, the shopkeeper, seems to have noticed the Frans coming for their shop.

When two people look at the old lady well, she is a woman with a very similar atmosphere to Dominic Audran, who is getting adorable about Fran like a grandson.

"Oh! There you are, sweet ladies"

"Uh... we're from Valentine's, could you show us the gems?

"Go ahead! Take your time."

The old lady is smiling gently.

Fran looked slightly (only) sorry for such an old lady.

"That's... I can't even be that slow."

"Really? But when it comes to choosing a gem, calm your soul and choose the stone that best suits you after a close look."

"Store owner...... you are certainly right. Actually, there's a situation. We're in a very hurry."

"Yes! Then why don't you take a look at it as time permits"

An old lady who doesn't ask for detailed reasons for her grumpy favors and doesn't mind taking her time to look at the jewels.

Fran and Josephine were grateful and accidentally thanking each other out loud.

"" Thank you!

The Frans look more and more at the various gems placed on the exhibition deck.

Like the store owner earlier, for some reason there was no price tag attached to this old lady's shop.

"This!?

All the jewels lined up are a delicacy, and Fran looks at them.

"Beautiful!... all, that's lovely!

One and Josephine were also blinded by certain beautiful gems.

In fact, it is such a stunning collection that I wonder why it opens to such a flea market.

Even if Fran looks at it, there are many types and quantities of gems, and if he sells them to a jeweler, he can be sure that they will be enormous.

On top of that, as far as the eyes of a Class A magic connoisseur are concerned, some gems even contain magic (enchanted) to make them even more valuable.

The old lady was still smiling softly, but decided that Fran and the others had finished watching the whole thing and came to her voice.

"What do you think? Did you have a jewel you liked?

"Yes! But..."

Looks like the old lady came with a pin when she saw Fran mumble.

"I get it. I like it, but you have a limited budget? I guess so."

"Exactly. In addition, I have been curious..."

"What is it?

"Why 'Flea Market'? If you sell this many collections to a jeweler, you can buy them at the right price…"

Fran tried to throw the question at the old lady that she had been thinking about earlier.

But the old lady's reply was unexpected.

"That's right. These jewels are for sale to people I like."

"To someone who likes it......?

"Yes, it is."

He doesn't have any feelings about selling his jewels to the old lady and making money.

Curiosity springs up in the soul (of) Fran, who hears her words.

"... I'm sorry to hear you stepped in, but can you let me know if I can?

"Fine... these jewels are now gifted to me by my late husband... not just for my wedding anniversary or birthday, but to create various anniversaries."

"Various anniversaries?

"Yes! Of course on the day my child was born, there were days when my husband met me for the first time or when a serious illness healed."

The old lady speaks happily.

The kindness of my husband who cared about me with something about me.

Even when her beloved husband dies, she has wonderful memories of him in her.

A story that was well heard by my father Gerrard came back to life in the memory of Josephine, who was listening to Fran and the old lady beside him.

The beautiful jewel that my late mother Bertille liked, which I have in front of me - a jewel called purple crystal, an amethyst.

The story of Fran and the old lady continues while Josephine traces her mother's memories.

"When I die, the kids decide to sell these jewels whatever they want. I don't even know whose hands it will be when that happens...... I hated that so much. My memories with my husband seem to be ruined...... yes! My husband's tenderness seems to be lost..."

I felt like Fran could tell what it was like to talk about an old lady.

Even if one day death comes and separates you from Lew, you don't just want to lose your memories.

And when you're gone from this world?

"So who liked you?

"Really! I have no intention of pushing my memories. But I want to give this jewel to someone who likes it and takes care of it. That's at least my gratitude to my husband..."

"... thank you for asking me not to. I would love to buy it..."

I want you to carry on your memories...

When asked why she was selling the old lady's jewels, Fran had decided that she would definitely want to buy them from her.

Meanwhile, the old lady also seemed to like Fran, and bold remarks popped up.

"Thanks! Which gem do you want? Never mind the price, be honest with me."

"Uh... to be honest... I want that ruby... I don't have enough money at all"

"Money is good... but let me know why? Why did you want Ruby?

The old lady is telling me the truth.

So the reason Fran gave it first as a reason was the honest truth.

"Yeah, me and she are wives with the same husband. But he loves us equally. So don't be jealous..."

"Ugh, you're adorable!

Does the old lady remember herself, too, grinning with a small nod?

Fran remembers his old self who was doing the yakimochi right away and gets a little embarrassed and goes for other reasons as well.

"Besides, Ruby is inherently a gem that brings love, courage, and passion. So that our family can have a little bit of that feeling and work hard!

"Exactly! Wonderful!"

It was a franc that the old lady admired and seemed hard to cut out, but she couldn't avoid going through the crucial budget thing.

"But... uh, actually, I only have five gold coins on my budget"

"Fine! I'll give you this ruby for 5 gold coins!

Fran stunned and opened her eyes wide.

The old lady says she'll give herself an expensive ruby for an incredible price.

"No! I'm actually a magic connoisseur, grade A. This ruby is worth at least 100 gold coins because it has 50 gold coins just for the value of the stone and, on top of that, it has the magic of breaking. This one will be bought at a fair price, so if you have 5 gold coins, please make it a different gem!

"It's called time, it's called budget, sounds like there's a reason... ugh, I like it more and more. When this happens, it's a big service, and Ruby's price is determined by five gold coins. I give away yet another gem of my choice... the lady there!

The old lady suddenly spoke to Josephine.

"Huh!?

"You've been watching Amethyst since just now. If you like it so much, I'll give you that!

"Ha, ha? …………

Can I get a jewel without consideration?

Josephine is unintentionally stuck.

It wouldn't be a good idea to turn down the old lady's favor here.

Having so decided, Fran urged Josephine to thank him.

"Jose! Do you want to thank your wife?

"Oh, thank you! Hey, because it was something my late mother liked to jewel!

"Ah!"

Now Fran gave a small shout.

Because the needle in my favorite magic guide pocket watch that I saw was only 10 minutes away from the time limit.

Fran and I were talking to the old lady, and she got all excited.

Barbatos was standing a little further away when I ran my gaze.

He grins when Fran and I meet each other.

It must mean leaving the escort at ease.

"Jose! It's time. Can you pick up the product and hurry back to your husband? I'll talk to your wife a little more."

"Ha! Sister Fran! Ma'am! Thank you so much!

Josephine thanked him again for the amethyst, and when he received the product, he lowered his head with a pepper and rushed out.

Barbatos slowly arrives after that.

This will keep her safe on her way home.

"Hehehe, that girl is a good girl too...... could there be any other wives besides you?

"Actually... there are six more... my husband's wife is eight and I'm the oldest."

"Ugh, that's tough!

"No, it's lively and fun. We're all close and like sisters... are we really better than that?... money"

"It's okay! It's good to see you today. Yes! I'll give this to you, too."

"Huh?"

The old lady took a small box out of her bag.

Apparently not a gem for sale.

"It's one of my favorite amulets my husband gave me. … Emerald."

"No!"

"Take it! You would know very well how I feel. And I know it's going to be hard for you to keep your wives in tow, as a pawnshop, but good luck!

The old lady is forced to let Fran hold the jewelry box.

And when Fran received it in awe, he smiled happily from the bottom of his soul.
