"Ute, what's wrong?

"Hey, nothing!

Luckily it didn't sound like Serena, and she looks at me strangely from two separate shelves. Regardless of why I found out who I am, it would be troublesome if this old lady spread the word about who I am.

"Grandma, don't tell anyone about that...!?"

I whispered to my grandmother in a whisper so that Serena wouldn't hear me. I thought it might be tough on the old man's ear, but he sounded solid, and Grandma laughs nymphomaniacally.

"Hihich. Then I'll ask you to pay the stopping fee. Three gold coins."

Pretty bad old lady. I have a few gold coins with me apart from the gold I once deposited from Sasha, and if I have a [creation] spell, I can generate as much gold as I want, so I don't know about three gold coins...

Instead, I thought I'd do this to you.

With that said, Grandma stands in a chair and disappears behind the store. After a while, Grandma came back with a plate with one plum dried on it.

"This plum will only have the power to raise HP and all but MP by 1,000 for three hours."

"... that's awesome"

If this is true, the regular person will get enough power to destroy the house with one blow if he eats this plum. Even so, my status is already unnecessary to me at MAX.

I think my grandmother would know that if she found out I was the king... Does that mean feed someone else?

"The price of this plum is three gold coins, so it's just the right proof that I paid the stopping fee."

"Three gold coins? It's cheaper than other plums."

As far as plum dried on display in the store, even the cheapest must have been five gold coins. Why this pricing when the efficacy is never subtle? Is there any reason why I didn't put it on the shelf of the sales office?

"That's what's wrong with this plum."

"... Cons?

"If you eat this, instead of temporarily gaining powerful power, your life expectancy will be reduced by ten years. So I'm not even selling it now."

"... seriously"

Life expectancy is cut by 10 years for just three hours, which is not very good for the cut. It's something I don't need more and more.

"That plum is fine. I'll pay for three pieces of gold, okay?

"No, no, this isn't what you should have. Sooner or later, the time will come to help you."

"... this plum?

I usually just hear it out as a paranoia, but that's what Grandma said when she found out who I am. It doesn't change my mind that I don't need it, but I can't keep it down.

"... ok. I'll take it."

"Hihich. Every time."

I take three gold coins out of my pocket and put them on the counter. Grandma handed me the plum in a small box. [M]

"And you, do you have the spell [Attribute Capture]?

"[Attribute capture]? I wonder how it went..."

Whatever it is, the number of spells in my possession is over a hundred, so I can't afford to grasp them all. I do think I had it, but the fact that it's only about this degree of recognition must not be a big spell.

"What's wrong with that spell?

"Hihich......"

Grandma just laughed and said nothing beyond. The key point is to avoid making a clear statement, so it's very bad. I can't eat at all.

"Ute, is it time to leave?

You're getting tired of looking around at the plums, too, and Serena walks up to me. And I opened my eyes wide when I saw the plum in my left hand. [M]

"What!? Maybe I bought it!?"

"Ah, oh. Bought it or bought it..."

"Are you insane? I don't even know if I'm hungry!?"

"Yes, no, because I'm not going to eat..."

I left the plum dryer, twitching. [M]

Then me and Serena went back to Sasha's villa and we all had a grilled noodle for dinner. With Sasha's good intentions, me and Lina spent some time in the villa playing with the kids until bedtime and taking a bath.

And late at night. I will rent the room I used to change into my bathing suit as my bedroom, and I am now rolling on my back in the bed in that room. I wasn't somewhat rolling, I was mainly thinking about the two people.

One is a plum drier's grandmother. How did that old lady know I was the king? Why did you give me this plum? [M] Who is that grandmother in the first place? Various questions are complicated in my brain.

I look into a box with plums. [M] Grandma said "sooner or later, the time will come" but the status MAX means nothing where I ate this. It just reduces life expectancy by ten years. You'd be more convinced if they told you to harass me.

However, my instincts told me that the old lady was not the enemy. I am concerned about the identity of your grandmother, but I am not going to explore it particularly now. I regretted I should have asked you about your name, but it would have been made fun of with a creepy laugh anyway.

The other is Kiel. Five days later I exchanged a duel with Kiel. [M] I was the one who said "I don't want to fight if I can" when I confronted him in "The Seven Stars of Mitsukishi," but wonder and now I didn't feel that way at all.

That would still be because this battle clearly bets the 'pot of souls'. If we control our battle with Kiel, it is now time to free the souls of those who have been taken. Not if you think about it and say, "I don't want to fight." Five days from now, I'm serious about my duel with Kiel.

"... Well"

I get out of bed and get up quietly.

Well, let's just forget about your grandmother's identity and the duel with Kiel now. Because I'm going to the battle of the night.

I guess it's about time everyone went to sleep, and suppose it's time to go? I took a deep breath to calm the tension and exaltation and headed to Serena's room.
