"How about an exchange?"
"Hmm. I haven't had a few more things to look into."
After a while of thinking about it, Sheila has made this suggestion with a slightly troubled face.
"I was wondering if you could replace it a little later. And even after the exchange, I may have to see it."
After only a few moments of thought, Lecan agreed.
"Okay. That's fine."
Lekan took a giant demon stone out of [Storage].
"This is the demon stone of Balifore."
"This is amazing. More than I expected. Looks like you could do this. If this doesn't work, I don't know how. Very well, Lecan. Leave that alone."
"No. I'll give it to you now"
"I told you I wanted to do some more research"
"The Original Grace should be given to me when it's convenient for you. This demon stone is useless to me. So you can give it to me right now."
Give me the Demon Stone here and the contract will be certain. I don't have to worry about Sheila telling me later that I changed my mind so I didn't exchange demon stones and pets. If she receives this magic stone, Sheila will always give Lecan the "Original Grace" one day. So as for Lecan, I wanted to give him the Demon Stone right away.
"Right. I'm sorry. Then I'll let you use it."
"Oh."
Sheila received a giant demon stone and placed it on the table.
"Lecan."
"Yeah?"
"I'm old, too. One of these days it may just pass away."
"What?"
"If that happens, my use will deliver the promised product to you."
"That's your use? Jericho?"
"No, I'm not. The one named Inos."
"Inos" is a word that means "best" or "first". It is a little odd as a person's name. I guess it's like a nickname.
"Is that one of yours?
"Speaking of companions, are they companions? Well, if I tell him, he's my subordinate, my servant, my assistant."
"Ho."
"I don't really know what you're talking about."
"What, that. Still, I'm surprised you had that kind of body."
Lekan didn't feel any sign of such existence. That means there's a man named Inos in a safe house somewhere far away, not in this town.
"A good woman has many secrets."
"I see."
I'm sorry I couldn't help you with the Parsimo thing.
"No. Even when I was in the original world, there was as much, such as a labyrinth where I had to gather offensive members to break through. We'll figure it out."
"Right. If Red Lotus Witch were still alive, I'd have filled a seat for one and a half."
"The Red Lotus Witch"?
"Oh. By name of Ella Morpheus. She was the daughter of a famous house in Palsimo, but she didn't have the magical talent and the rest of the family was waiting for her."
"Hmm?"
"But he was actually a very talented man. Ella's talent didn't budge the way the Morphets did."
"You're not alive now?
"I taught Ella magic about a hundred and twenty years ago, so hey. Probably dead."
"Your apprentice."
"If Ella was alive, she would have done me a favor."
"Is Jiza Morpheus the blood of Ella Morpheus"
"Huh? Was there such a thing?
"I asked him if he was a mentor at the Palsimo Magic Institute. An old woman's wizard. He accompanied me on my labyrinth expedition and wrote me a recommendation."
"Do you have that recommendation now?
"Oh."
Let me see.
When Lekan took Ziza's recommendation and gave it to her, Sheila took it and put out a fine cane to examine the recommendation.
"Hmm. Probably Ella's blood. Or descendants, I guess."
"You know that?
"Sort of. Recan. Ask that Jiza Morpheus. Do you know Mazara Wedepasha?"
Mazara Wedepasha is one of Sheila's many renames. When he was active as a magic theory landlord, he named his name.
"What should I do if I answer that I know? You can't tell me I'm Mazara's apprentice."
It's supposed to be a secret that Mazara's still alive.
"Don't blur there and tell him you've been taught"
"Then what happens"
He'll help you if you ask.
"Hmm? Okay. Let's remember. But I think that old wizard might be willing to help me if I don't bring that up. Giza strongly wants to step on the parsimo. That can't be wrong. And if I start exploring that labyrinth in earnest, I think I'll be asking you to accompany me from there."
"Oh, I see. That sounds like a possible story. Well, don't do it well."
"What do you mean, if Red Lotus Witch were alive, one and a half seats would be filled?
"To Ella Morpheus, I gave two gifts. One is the" Seven Blue Canes ". The other one's quite an interesting substitute. It's a masterpiece that me and Yacklebend worked together to create."
"Enough. I no longer want to hear it. I don't want to get involved with that."
Speaking of which, Yacklebend said he wanted to see you.
"I don't want to see you. What you have, by the way, is the Crown of the Decaying Tree, right?
"Yes, I am."
"Grace was [empty]. What kind of grace is that?"
"The physical and magical defense of an opponent at a certain distance for a certain amount of time decreases to a minimum."
"Decreasing Defense to the Lowest? I don't know what that means."
"Hmm. You wouldn't know that unless you actually tried it. Anyway, the magic and physical attacks that this grace is working against have interesting and high effects."
"Ho."
I'm not sure, but it looks like a very useful grace.
But I was concerned that Sheila looked a little lonely without a heart or face.
