Meikyuu Toshi no Antique Shop

◆

Fujiwara bites the yawn to death.

I drank coffee, too, and my head is a lot neater.

I had to return the stigma because I exposed Anemone and the two girls to a very ugly state of falling asleep.

"Well."

The appraisal is all over.

Unfortunately, the bulk of the loot brought back by the Soaras was similar in quality to iron crumbs.

The corrosion of the metal part caused by the dissolved mucous membrane of Mosuld slime was scattered, because the quality had to be branded 'useless'.

It's just that there's a lot of it, so I'm going to put it together and pick it up here. Sell it to the vendor and you'll be able to make it into the amount there.

The only decent thing is one long sword and three short swords, then just one leather buckler.

All of them are of acceptable quality and I just said 'unmarked'.

This one is not handled at the store, so I can't pick it up, but I think I can create an identification card and introduce you to a weapons store that seems to buy it at a high price.

"And then..."

The problem is it's still stuck on the counter.

It is a small hair fastening (barretta).

It was hidden in the bottom of the napzac packed with harvest at the bait yard and remained almost intact because it was not metal. Soara and the others must have picked this up somehow, not because they thought it was worth it.

Pick it up and observe.

The material is not very rare in a variant of a mineral called Thunder Egg.

Just a sliced cross section with a stunning design.

In the heart of the white onion of the chicken egg large, a six-part circular black onyx sits, which the red of the third nix edges thinly.

Looks like a little petal. That's not by the hand of the craftsman, but by design by time and chance.

And people's hands seem to be applied elsewhere.

When you cast a spell and send magic through your fingertips, it reacts as expected.

Something like blue and fine muscle runs, spreads, and forms a pattern throughout the glossy surface. I tried to zoom in and close the monoculars. It consists of countless magic letters.

"Hmm."

Undoubtedly, it was a grant tool (magic item).

◆

"I tell thee, my beloved child, to offer thee nine long chestnut hairs - and the world shall breathe, bud, bloom, and wrap them in a dash, as the petals of Zanza Misica."

Fujiwara deciphered the magic circuit and summarized its contents.

It consists mainly of three undertakings.

That is, 'qualification' to use the ability of the tool, 'price' to pay when using the ability, 'reward', an ability/magic phenomenon that can be obtained from the world.

First of all, the description of "qualification" goes as far as "You, my dear child, tell you".

"Child Hair" in this cliché shows the hairstyle of a girl before performing a ritual of passage in some parts of the country.

In other words, anyone who is a "minor woman" can be interpreted as using it.

Next, there is a description of the "price", which reads, "Give me nine of those chestnut hairs."

Sometimes I pay for my hair. The magic contained therein is supposedly equivalent to thirty drops of blood per bottle, and after use this hand may also have side effects such as losing as much hair as it dedicates, or becoming gray hair.

I would like to note in this cliché that it is conditional upon the dedication of the magic contained in Chestnut Hair.

This means that this grant tool cannot be used unless the owner of chestnut hair.

And the description of "reward" reads: "Then the world breathes, buds, blooms, and wraps it up, as the petal of Zanza Misica."

In the first half, the demands on the world have become a unique rhetoric, but in short, it means letting 'defensive barriers develop around Barletta'. Defensive barriers are invisible physical walls, constructed by magic.

And what 'San Zamicica's Petal' stands for is its strength. The thick, soft orchid petals used by the fairy (Fairy) as bedding are considered to have worn hard-skinned helmets rather than very strong ones.

Perhaps this must be a work by parents with children.

He was created to guide a child who still had no skill to protect himself and to make him wear it so that he would not get hurt.

Honestly, it's not very effective, but if it's a monster attack to a certain extent, it can reduce damage.

The benefits as a protective gear that doesn't make you feel weighty about it would be enormous. This is a delicious item for a profession with limited protective equipment, such as bandits who use lightness as a weapon or magicians who need a fine gesture in magic.

Of course, if you sell it, it's a lot more than a grant tool.

In the first place, there are not many opportunities for the Running Seeker to acquire the Grant Tool itself.

It was up to them to do so, but this was a splendid trophy that deserved this attack on the fifth basement.

◆

"Fine, you've got money."

"Yeah. I'm glad you took the poor quality sword too"

The manager's appraisal resulted in several items of equipment exceeding expectations.

Also, most of the metals brought back from the dungeon were dissolved by the mucus of the mold slime and were found to be identical to iron chips, but they could be removed as well.

They can reuse the material itself, so specialist vendors, blacksmiths, etc. will buy it.

As a result, this exploration had generated unprecedented revenues.

Lynne was on her way to the mall in the heart of the city after The Age of the Good Old Mages (Old Good) with Soara.

The aim is mainly to procure consumables and equipment.

I had to buy in a lot to explore the next dungeon.

I wanted a healing potion more than a herb, and I want to have all sorts of medicines, such as painkillers, in case. Food (ration) is also as nutritious as possible, I don't need luxury, but I like the flavoured product.

But it's okay.

Because I have some room for nostalgia.

Somewhat better than planned, I would have no problem purchasing quality items.

If there's one more problem, there's only one.

"Are you sure you're glad I got this?

Lynne takes it out of her robe pocket and checks it several times.

What I have in my hand is something I can afford - a barretta with a small black petal pattern.

I refuse to get it once, but Soara says, "Even magicians can wear protective equipment, so it's a loss to equip it," and they forcibly give it to me.

'Cause it's thanks to Lynne that I made it to the sixth floor.

"But I can't even reach the third floor by myself. Besides, the monster was almost defeated by Soara, wasn't it?

This is not just a hair clasp, it's a grant tool, "Protective Hair Clasp (Barretta)".

I can make it quite an amount if I sell it.

In fact, the amount the manager offered me was just enough to live a luxurious life there for a few months.

Lynne lives at her sister's, so far she's not crippled with money.

But Soara leaves her hometown and rents a room to live alone.

I don't talk much, but I know that life is pretty tough. So if it's true, you're supposed to want it if you have any money at all.

"Hey, give me that."

I was relieved that Soara was offering me her hand, and I gave Barletta to her.

They were finally willing to sell me.

Now that "The Age of the Good Old Mages" is not far away, it was easy to get back and redeem it.

But Soara turns behind Lynne and starts tying her hair.

"... stay still"

"Huh... ahhh..."

"I was so happy when Lynne called me out"

……

"... I am so glad to be partying with you. So I wish I could thank you for that... Come on, I could."

"Soara."

"Good. That looks great."

"... thanks"

Lynne nodded. I can't tell you to take that off anymore and switch it for money, etc., than Soara would tell me to.

I felt sorry for him, but I decided to be honest with him.

Lynne offered her hand instead.

"It's always nice to meet you."

"Yeah. Let's do our best to attack the sixth floor."

And Soara's hand graciously held my hand.

On the other hand there was a map of downtown.

It says there the location and information of the grocery store and weapons store that I checked last night while getting advice from my sisters.

We're going to go around to those stores and shop.

It's the same with me that I'm glad to be a party with you.

Although I can't give something back to myself right now, let's at least do our best to guide Soara on the road.

Lynne thought so.

The two of us held hands together and walked off the warm sunny sidewalk.

"Uh... what is this poisonous colored biscuit?

"I had them roasted at the" Dragon Looking Up at the Sun "pavilion.

"Ha."

"If you eat, you'll get a good head."

When Fujiwara dropped her eyes again on a plate placed on the counter, the biscuits served there were quite close to the primary color, unlike usual.

Nor can it be said that the smell is sweet and fragrant, but it is close to the irritant smell, and it also gives me an appetite for flattery.

Pick one of them and I'll ask terribly.

"What's this red one?

"Contains Tons of Red Chillies (Tabasco)"

"What's this green one?

"It's green pepper."

"What's this blue one?

"Mint."

"What's this black one?

"Pepper."

……

"Hmm? What's wrong? You're not eating?

After a while, those biscuits put up for sale from the 'Land Dragon Looking Up at the Sun' pavilion will be popular among explorers.

Its main use seemed to be as a somnolence and confusion avoidance medication during dungeon exploration, or as a leisurely punishment game.

Identification Card: Protective Hair Clasp (Barretta) (Unmarked)

"I tell thee, my beloved child, to offer thee nine long chestnut hairs - and the world shall breathe, bud, bloom, and wrap them in a dash, as the petals of Zanza Misica."

The fairy tale "Midsummer Night" is famous for episodes related to Xiaochun's Walnut Orchid (Zanza Misica) in the description of the magic circuit. This is based on events that are supposedly far before the days of The Good Old Sorcerers, and the scene appears where the fairies turn the beautiful orchid petals into giant shields to help the little prince and his sister, who chased the castle by the plot of the Chancellor and fled into the flower garden of the Fairy Queen (Teatania), to prevent the invasion by the seven Kimyras summoned as chasers for three days and three nights.

Perhaps this grant tool was made in view of its story. It is also evident from the analytical content of the magic circuit that it was built for a small child, and the fact that the tool itself is very complete while not even signed unmarked items makes me feel the deep sincerity of the maker towards those who use this.

Now with regard to the magic barrier that occurs by using this grant tool, unfortunately it is better not to expect an effect like the anecdote I mentioned earlier. A small shield in the shape of a flower emerges around the barretta, whose defense is about as hard as a relatively resilient hard skin helmet. You can't prevent a giant ghost (orga) wielding stick, but you should be able to keep it down to no damage if you're attacking a little ghost (goblin) who hits you with all his might.
