I Became a Magical Cheat Loli Witch ~My Different World Life With My Reincarnation Privilege [Creation Magic] and the [Seed of Magic]~
Episode 28 [Bargains of Port Town]
Me and Tet go to a commercial area where trade goods and other goods are brought in from the morning market where fresh fish and food are brought in, and search for bargains.
"Witch! Tableware is on sale!"
"Pottery plates. Are the items used by the nobles sold off?"
Perhaps the tableware is selling something that was broken and discarded because of the irregular number.
"Witch, that sword"
"Yes, there are traces of [repair]"
If you find another sword that is sold like a piece of art and collect magic in your eyes, you will see a thick line of magic at the base of the blade.
It is a magic mark that uses [repair magic] to repair items after the sword has broken.
"It's good to use for art works and appearances, but for practical use it will reduce the durability of the repaired parts."
[Repair magic] is magic that tries to return a broken object to its original shape.
Unlike the complete repair of [Self-repair] such as magic swords, if all the broken parts are complete, they stick together to close the cracks and cracks, and if there is a defect, the other parts are evenly collected and chipped Try to fill the part.
Due to its nature, parts repaired with restoration magic are also fragile.
"It's very difficult to be a connoisseur of these curios."
Rather, it seems that there are magical forgers who dare to break them thoroughly once and leave magic marks on the whole tool, making the tool itself look like a magical tool that emits magic.
I miss Beretta about 10 years ago when he failed.
"Oh, that looks good."
"Witch? Is it glassware there?"
The southern part of the Kingdom of Roubair seems to be able to produce high quality sand, and the glassware made from that sand is a beautiful piece of art and a practical product with various shapes and surface cutting techniques.
"I'm sorry. How is this glassware from the studio?"
"This is the latest piece of the Kikuri studio that recently came out!"
"Kikuri Studio. Then please give me a set."
The beautiful glass tableware was fragile and beautiful, and it looked like a luxury item.
However, I think I was able to make a good purchase, put on my magic bag so that it would not break, and look at the merchandise from other stores with a full face.
"The witch looks so happy. Was that a good purchase?"
"My guess. That tableware workshop will surely grow."
The glassware of the tableware that was purchased had magical effects that increased the strength of the glass itself by putting consciousness, unconsciousness, or magic into the glass.
It is likely to remain in the world for a long time and will be highly regarded as a work of art.
"A hundred years later, but maybe 300 years later, it may have become more valuable as an early antique or Kikuri workshop."
Old antiques in the previous life were valuable as treasures.
Jewelry and other items are not attractive because they are perceived as magical catalysts that can be created with [Creative magic], but tools and artworks that have practicality but are likely to become antiques in the future are not , And occasionally buy it like sake.
The value of sake provided to an inn owner at an abandoned mine changes with the date of storage, like antiques and art.
Perhaps it will be a great treasure in the future, and it makes me feel like I bought a lottery.
"Oh, this tea set. I want to use it when Beretta brews tea. The handle shape is easy to hold."
"Witch, there's a book you like that witch!"
"It's like the history book of the Roubair kingdom. The paper is still parchment."
In the last two decades, plant paper has infiltrated the Gard Beast People's Land, including the Ischair kingdom, and books have been gradually replaced by plant paper, but the Royal Kingdom and other connected countries still use parchment. It seems.
"Let's buy it for the time being. And ... the owner, what's behind you?"
The rough canvas behind the store is a painting canvas.
It's like an oil painting of the town, with a lively market for fishers buying and selling fish.
One part of such a picture is a picture of various common people, such as a cat stealing fish and escaping and a shopkeeper reaching out to chase it, and a passerby looking strangely at the cat running away and the shopkeeper. It is concentrated in.
"Is this painting? I asked my nephew's painter to put it on me, but the material is bad even if I sell it. In the worst case, I would sell it as a canvas for other painters. I think
Because canvas fabrics are expensive, they can be re-painted with paint and reused.
In addition, paintings such as portraits of aristocrats, paintings of ladies, garden scenery, religious paintings, and fancy paintings on the battlefield with martial arts are preferred as popular subjects in this era.
It is said that these things depicting the lives of ordinary people are too early to sell.
"I really liked it, especially cats."
"Cat is cute. He loves fish, so he understands his desire to eat."
"Ahahaha, do you like cats?"
She opened her mouth and laughed as if it seemed like a little child's humor, but I looked at the picture with a gentle smile.
"A cat is a symbol of prosperity.
"A cat is a symbol of richness?"
"Yes, in poor areas where there is little to eat, people catch and eat even stray cats. So the stray cats in this painting are rich in food and people's expressions are bright enough to be furry. But it is full of happiness that can not be changed. ''
Recently, she has crossed the poorly harvested Kingdom of Loweville, and in some areas of poorly harvested and poor food, she has seen places where she would not see any stray cats.
That's why I love this painting.
The owner turns a serious look at me as she looks at the paintings that warm her heart.
"Miss, how much would you pay if you price it?"
"Yes-one big coin"
Take out one big coin from the magic bag porch-1 million yen worth in Japanese yen.
It is twice the price of the glass tableware.
"So much ..."
"Yes, I can't be a patron, but I guess it's support for a master's egg."
After purchasing one painting from the shopkeeper, he continues to spend the morning searching for bargains at a port town store.
When I liked the painting, I occasionally visited the town using [Transfer Magic], bought a painting, and asked Beretta to decorate the mansion with the painting saved using [Grant Magic].
SIDE: Lagondo Zoil, a painter who can't sell
Born in the port city of Rowevil, I was born as the third son of a merchant and lived with his parents' shins.
From a young age I looked at trade ships and loved the town, where the cultures of other countries and my country were mixed.
I thought I would live with the art of expressing it as the third son of a carefree merchant, but we are not rich enough to feed only the third son.
So, while always listening to his father's short story, he was parasitizing the merchant and focused only on art.
My uncle cooperated to put the picture in the shop, but at the beginning it was displayed in a visible position, but the picture that gets in the way without selling becomes a new canvas for those aspiring painters gradually Then, it is filled with different paints.
Even thinking about quitting the painter in a sight where my art is denied, I return my new work to my uncle's shop today.
A few days later, my uncle came to my house in a hurry.
"Hey, Lagondo! Your picture has sold!"
"Eh !? My picture! Why !?"
It's a great statement to say it's my work, but my work didn't sell as much.
He heard the words of the purchaser of the painting from his uncle's mouth, saw a large coin in his hand, and cried unintentionally.
It was good to be a painter that there was a person thinking about my paintings and so on.
A single coin may be a small profit for a merchant in a single transaction.
But as a painter, it's a great achievement.
"Thank you, uncle. I'll try a little more."
"Oh, I never thought that your picture had that meaning. I'll cooperate a bit more."
"I'm sorry. I didn't think so deeply, but I just like that sight ..."
And I kept painting.
Starting with the girl who bought my paintings, and other styles of my own--especially trying out just the cats that the girl who bought first liked them, I could draw a portrait of my pet from a noble who loves pets I was asked to make a living as an unusual painter.
In the meantime, the girl in question writes a picture of the everyday scenery of the ordinary people who still cannot sell, and the girl comes and buys it.
Looking in secret at the girl who liked my paintings, I thought of a beautiful girl with beautiful dark-haired fishing eyes but a gentle willow eyebrow girl and a healthy tan girl.
Ten years since I bought my picture-I'm sure I'm over twenty years old, I'm sure I'm over 20 years old. Draw.
The portrait of the lucky goddess for me was kept until my death.
I was able to fulfill my life as a painter thanks to them.
SIDE: Someday's future maids
―――――――――――――――――
Later generations-the great master Lagondo Zoil
He lived as the third son of a merchant in the port city of the Roubair Kingdom and lived as a painter.
In the early days, he lived with support from his parents' home without selling the work.
However, in his late twenties, he gained his reputation as an animal painter and earned his living by requesting portraits of many animals and monsters, while traveling in his homeland and various parts of his country. He continued to draw the scenery of life.
Later in life, he ended his life with a new painting that he sold first, entitled the untitled work Asaichi People.
This masterpiece, The Morning Market People, is a painting that is still famous today, and was priced at 5 billion gold at a modern auction.
Then, the early works that were sold as canvas at that time by modern analysis magic and separation magic were discovered one after another.
As a painting he never let go until he died, there is a painting depicting two girls entitled Goddess of Fortune.
Looking at the materials at that time, the person who looked like that was a couple of adventurers called "flying carpets" that often appeared in history. Or, it is presumed to be a form of a group of transcendents called [Creative Witches].
It is unknown why he painted the painting.
One theory, such as the first love theory or the search for a new subject, exists, but is unknown.
Lagondo Zoil's masterpiece [People in the morning market] is one of the first to be sold, with many copies and counterfeiters circulating around the world-the phantom [People in the morning market] and the middle period. It is hoped that many unknown paintings will be discovered.
[From the world's greatest history]
―――――――――――――――――
We were reading a new book at the mansion library.
Every day I get my soul, have an ego, serve my husband and Tet, and manage the house with my wife, Beretta.
"This month's history of the world's greats was interesting! The life of Mr. Lagondo! Since we are the 17th generation maid, I was not alive at that time."
"If you're a master, Tet, or Beretta, you've lived since the time Lagondo lived, so you might have heard something!"
"But at the time, this [Witch Forest of Creation] and the outside world's magic concentration were so low that senior maids couldn't work outside."
The three service dolls-the new demons and mechanoids-are having fun around a book.
Then, when you turn the page of the book, what appears there is an illustration of a printed masterpiece.
The maids who saw the painting looked back and remembered.
"This picture is that."
"Yeah, exactly the same? No, it looks a little different ..."
The painting on the library wall is a painting that existed before we were born.
I don't really know when the painting will be, but it's pretty old, but still beautiful without any deterioration, as the picture frame is magically preserved.
At the end of the painting, the three confirm that there is a signature of the great master Lagondo.
"Ahahaha, no way. This isn't the first" People in the morning market "of the vision."
"If it was real, it would be 5 billion gold! Well, I don't know what the total assets of the masters are ... but if it was real it would be great."
"It's not real. Masters live long and sometimes buy counterfeits."
That being said, the three maids look at the painting from various angles to see if they are genuine, but unfortunately they have no aesthetics or knowledge to judge them.
"The break is over for all three."
"""Yes!"""
The three new maids return to work with books returned to the bookshelf by the voice of the headmaid, Beretta.
One of the paintings they saw earlier was displayed on the library wall without being judged as genuine or fake.
