Riot Grasper

- Well, is this the jewelry store...

It's been a while since I was based in the city of Melbail, but I've never had the chance to visit a store like this before, naturally.

Sprinkling signs with jewellery, stone buildings, but sculptures on the walls create an atmosphere that doesn't make you feel boneless.

In other words, it is a shop that I do not want to enter because I am ashamed of myself.

It's good to have Rim with us.

Hold the hand you tried to open the door once, take a gentle, deep breath and then push it open.

I'm slightly nervous because I sell expensive goods.

None of the possibilities for Mr. Siena to tell a lie in me (* forgive me if Mr. Siena fools me), so I'm pretty sure it's going to be at a price that deals with white gold coins.

but thus the amount of money when borrowed becomes considerable.

I wanted to ask Bato, the only merchant on the fringe, for help, but he wouldn't be caught so conveniently, and he's got a job over there.

Well, I think it's worrying about being fooled in a decent store in such a big city, so I decided to be prepared to regret it if I could convince myself of the amount of the sale.

Enter the store and look around the room.

What I imagined was the sight of the jewellery in the glass case being lined up there, but it wasn't.

A carpet of hairy sharks is laid on the floor and the walls are decorated with what appears to be an interior, but there does not appear to be any sales on display.

If so, will the merchandise be immediately asked by the store clerk to show it?

Now, that sort of thing is happening right in front of me.

Except me and Rim, there's four of them in the store.

The two people on the other side of the counter are clerks - older men, young women.

I guess the male clerk is the one responding, but this is the two of us again.

The face peeking into the jewelry contained in the luxuriously decorated boxes is still young.

The girl who only looked back at this one time was literally speaking of a little girl.

In addition to the neat noticeable nose, I can only describe it as a 'lady' if it's a blue-eyed, besides vertically rolled hair.

Dress - a line that covers your lower body round...... ball gown? - has frills and looks good on white skin that allows empty fabric to fall out.

What an idea makes me want to cry because of poverty, but in a nutshell, it feels like 'a well made French doll' is alive and moving.

Age is twelve... still not a child.

Shopping in a store like this is a joke.

... Oh, no, I was going to refrain from suddenly taking a status peek in my first meeting.

Well, I can't help what I saw.

Is this child the daughter of the lord?

Convinced.

And I thought it was the father beside the lady... but no.

I can tell it's different from the outfit, not because I peeked at the status otherwise.

What's the difference, this guy only deserves one word to describe from a 360-degree all-round view - 'butler'.

A reddish brown vest on a white cloth shirt, a black tie on black clothes in a slightly different shape than the suit I know... what if this isn't a butler.

The well-groomed beard, long silver hair, was bound behind her, and her tinted eyes were pointed at her only for a moment as she peered at this one.

I accidentally turn back consciously, too.

Age is 45...... huh?

Huh... hey! What is this guy? Deacon fighting?

No, it could be at this age... but it's a good battle with me now when I think only of Skill LV.

Perhaps there is a butler whose previous position is supposedly mercenary or something, who also serves as an escort. Even Mr. Arnold can be an adventurer, but he has the strength to be rank B.

Well, I've talked in my head for a long time, but in the meantime, I've actually been in the store for a few seconds.

Don't be rude. I'll just have a light meeting with the lady and the butler.

I turned to the female clerk, who would be free, and spoke up.

"I'd like you to buy this out, how much will it be?

A female clerk who sees a white demon crystal placed from the bag gives a slightly surprising look.

"Please wait a moment"

That's all I said, I walked up to the male clerk.

What the hell is that?

"- Lim, I know you do."

"Yeah."

If and where did you get this? If asked the question, the content of the answer was decided in advance by the two of us.

What a simple thing, but the horseman was injured and someone was in trouble, so I treated him and he thanked me for this.

I'm not lying, and I don't want to be suspicious if I ID 'd you as an adventurer...

... Oh?

Wait a minute. Why are they all coming this way?

I went to an older male clerk over there for help in buying worthwhile treasure balls...... then even the lady and butler get closer together.

Oh, my God, it's true.

Girl-specific tall voices echo indoors. The lady reached out and grabbed the white demon crystal I brought in and leaked those words.

... I can't believe I'm in a position to be stolen.

This lady, I don't think anyone else's belongs to humanism.

"Um..."

"Dear Marita, that must have been something this one brought to you. Such behavior without greeting… it's not impressive."

Before I pinch my mouth, return the white demon crystal that the lady embarrassed by the butler was grasping to the counter table.

"Wow, I know. I'm not just a little excited."

"Well, I'm glad to hear it"

Obviously, the position seems to be that the lady is up there, but the atmosphere is somewhere interesting, such as being somehow irresistible to the butler, and I looked at the lady with laughter included.

"What...?

"No, nothing."

You cared that I laughed, and I was stared at.

Shit, this kid's scared.

- Before I think, the lady grabs the hem of the dress in both hands and says hello to us with her perfect work.

"I am the daughter of Lord Alberto Teo Bellado - my name is Marita. This is Deacon Loggins Kraw. Excuse me for earlier."

"Ya, well, I don't mind..."

"Well, then it was Nashi. That's all Loggins can do."

My first impression is... I'm usually a wife, but a lady who can be a lady when I need her, right?

Ms. Loggins nods and greets Marita with a sinister face when she quickly breaks her tone.

Me and Lim introduced themselves briefly, and Mr. Loggins explained the situation to me.

- Hmm... the pendant with the white demon crystal for protection was smashed and scattered in accidents (* because of Marita).

I was looking for a replacement, but they were all troubled by small grains of stuff.

Apparently it was me who brought in the large white demon crystal that showed up there......

I don't know how hard the White Devil crystal is, but it won't break easily either. What the hell did you do?

Well, if you want it, you can sell it. It was meant to be sold.

"Uh, how much can you buy?

My lord's daughter would have bought me something nice and expensive.

My faint expectation instantly dissolved.

"Oh, I'm not the one who fixes the right price. You originally came to the store to sell it, didn't you? If I bought it directly from you, the shop people wouldn't be pathetic."

Well... I think this is a very serious opinion.

As for the shop side, after buying out this white demon crystal, it would benefit from asking the craftsmen of the industrial zone to process it into jewellery and sell it for a considerable price on the finished item.

If I sell it directly to Marita, all I have to do is ask a skilled artisan directly.

From the flow of money, this store will be excluded.

But isn't that a loss from Marita?

Items finished as jewellery will have a good value.

No, it might be a word in tow that I reluctantly sell to raise the value of the White Devil Crystal.

Well, I wouldn't reluctantly make a profit. I don't imitate seco.

Or it's clever to squeeze a head without it and read behind the other person's thoughts, doesn't fit the pattern.

I know it's solid, but what am I seriously worried about with my twelve-year-old counterpart?

So I stopped thinking and asked the male clerk to process the sale.

Provide the adventurer's ID and ask him how much it will cost.

"Right... not too big to be on the market... how about 350,000 dallas"

... what?

Marita spoke to the male clerk before my thought-stopped head restarted.

"Hey, I can generally predict the price after it becomes a product, but I guess it could be a little more expensive"

Seriously...?

I'm surprised enough with the first amount offered, but you think you can attack me even more?

Marita, horrible girl.

"I'm no match for Master Marita. So... let me study, how about buying for 380,000 dalas"

Now Marita smiles like she's convinced too.

"Don't try to make everyone smile so that everyone gains - that's what my father always says. I'm glad I found what I'm looking for, and this store makes money, and so do you."

Marita looked back and pointed at this one perfectly.

"I'm glad you sold a little higher."

I fixed the first glitch that I showed, and I'm smiling at you for putting up a barely any chest.

Shit... Isn't this lady a good lady?

So maybe this is the only thing that makes me quite choosy.

I refuse, but I can handle all attributes magic, but I don't have those attributes together. It means I recognized you as only a good lady.

Marita opened her mouth again as she tried to shake her neck vertically to accept with the amount offered.

"By the way, where did you get a white demon crystal that size?

"Dear Marita, He is an adventurer, so he will sometimes be blessed with those opportunities. The question that came in..."

"Oh, I'm curious."

Now it seems that even if Mr. Loggins were to stop him, he would not be able to curtail his curiosity.

As planned, I will only briefly tell you about the situation where I received the White Devil Crystal.

- Some of you are very generous.

The word is not sarcasm for doubting me... but apparently an honest feeling.

"I guess that's all you cared about the horseman."

"Hmm, did you even have expensive cures?

"I can use a little magic, so I can heal the wounds there."

You were interested in those words, and Marita tries to take off her own hair ornament and give it to me. I received it bewildered, but what does it mean?

"I just got a little interested in you. The hair decoration is also small, but it is finished with white demon crystals. I was wondering if I could use your magic."

Is that what you mean? But even though there aren't many humans who can handle magic, it shouldn't be that rare.

I don't know what the hell got me into attracting the interest of a girl in her early teens, but okay.

Even so, the white demon crystal attached to this hair decoration is quite small.

It's still smaller than my pinky nails.

"You know what? What happens if you exceed the capacity you can put in the White Devil Crystal?

Indeed, in Mr. Siena's story, the strength of the magic that can be included should be proportional to the size of the white demon crystal.

It was Mr. Loggins beside Marita who answered my question like that.

"In that case, the white demon crystal will be crushed and scattered"

Sarah said something horrible about it.

Oh, come on, if you break it, you're free to make amends or something.

But Marita doesn't see me accepting it even if I try to return the hair decorations.

"Of course, you wouldn't complain if it broke, would you?

Ho ho, I mean, is that it?

You think there's no way a young monk like this can handle magic and exceed his capacity limit.

I mean, Marita's younger, right?

Then I'll show you. My magical abyss!

I grabbed the hair ornament and activated the greatest and most powerful magic of destruction - not the healing light (light healing).

No, I'd be scared if there was an outburst.

I thought this magic would be safe.

Again... I thought maybe it would be impossible, but the white demon crystal that was attached to the hair decoration made a noise and splashed.

I guess adjusting the magic intensity wouldn't have broken it either, but if I did it with the intention of breaking it, it would have really broken it.

I was worried about the outburst, but the magic that I couldn't get into dissolves into the atmosphere's mana.

I'm not bad.

but return the hair decorations to Marita silently along with feeling somewhat sorry for her.

He wasn't willing to blame me like I said first, and the next time he took the white demon crystal I brought in.

"If this crushes, I'll take full responsibility. I'd like you to try again."

"... what kind of magic should I put in it?

Exactly, I don't think this will break.

If so, you should hear your hopes for what magic you want.

"I beg you with the most confident magic."

Confident magic...... right.

Then there's only one freshly remembered alley.

You don't seem to be worried about an outburst or anything, which way?

But wait.

Assuming you succeed in being able to include, a human being who can handle ex-magics... and it's pretty rare to be able to compound all attributes.

Can I throw this away laughing because I'm over-conscious...?

- Frequent patrols.

But well, I don't think it's a bad idea to be interested in the lord's daughter.

Getting to know and connect with powerful people will be quite important.

Of course, you should avoid being able to put your eyes on them if their personality sucks, but I think Marita would be fine if my eyes weren't rotten...

Besides, I've decided to have fun and live in this Ealis world.

I'm not going to rush to death, but I'm not going to live mediocre either.

If you compare it in a game, nothing would be more boring than a game where nothing happens.

... I'll do it.

I grasp the White Devil Crystal and work out the magic of the six attributes one step ahead of me.

This is gonna take a lot of time...

After carefully finishing his prep, he concentrated his consciousness on his palms and elevated Mana to magic at once.

"... Phew"

- Apparently, it worked.

If you take a look at it, you can see the brilliance of six colors inside the white demon crystal.

Although the look on Marita's face when she received it was surprising at first, just one word to make sure she fell in love with that rainbow glowing jewel.

"... beautiful"

And he was squealing.

Mr. Loggins also wonders, "What kind of magic is this..."

... all the while reminding me that I still have to stop by Mr. Zig's store after this and I decided to disperse the occasion.

"Well, here we are."

The amount of white demon crystals was 380,000 dallas, but the final sale was as much as 400,000 dallas because of the upbeat Marita adding more color to it.

Like four white gold coins... I think I'll move from an adventurer to a mining business.

Kidding aside, me and Rim are headed to the industrial zone on that leg after we leave the jewelry store.

All property is a little over half a million dalas.

Even assuming I bought Luke, I still can afford it.

This will have to be hatched in Mr. Zig's shop.

I'm not saying I won't have overnight money, but this is a world of many dangers. It is better to use it when it is available.

"- Even if you bought the best protective gear there, you can't forget what a lame thing it is to lose your life!

I bought a new piece of armor after Jig gave me the thankful phrase, "Hey, how much good stuff you wore and Abunai is Abunai."

What was recommended was a cross armor made of spinning tougher black steel threads than lousy metal, spit out by a vicious spider-shaped demon called "Grand Spider," which supposedly does not live on the Asha continent.

The color is black, as the material's name suggests.

Mr. Zig...... you've been understanding me lately without having to mention my hobbies.

Because the interior of the cross armor contains buffer material, it is resistant not only to slashing but also to striking?

Later it totals 180,000 dalas, including partial misrilled metal parts that protect places such as shoulders, elbows and knees.

It will be natural for good things to be high, and protective equipment is above all something that will greatly involve survival.

I have money, but I'm not going to compromise.

Well, when I got back in front of the full Oyaji pavilion with the tension up, I remembered I had one.

Go...... it's nice that Marita told me to put magic into the White Devil Crystal, but I forgot to teach her the wording to activate it.

Then I can't use it for protection.

- Well, come on.

If I had to, I would say something from the other side.

... Think about it, there was really a lot going on today.

I rode two on Luke, ran into a demon tribe and went into battle, two on Luke and got interested in the daughter of the lord...... no.

The time is already past six.

I still opened the door with a delay wondering if the last tightening was Mr. Dario's dish.

It was Mr. Arnold, the Wolf Beast Man, who jumped into my eyes, and the well-width beast man across from it...... the dog? is how drunk and noisy he is.

Dario, who is carrying alcohol to both of us, called us "Welcome back" with his eyes open.

It was the three oysters who welcomed me.

... something.

The name of this inn is a full-blown pavilion...

Already, the interior of the inn is in a nasty and full state.

Yeah...... I don't mind at all.

Afterwards, we are to be seated half-forced and surrounded by everyone for dinner.

The food was, as always, very tasty, and the first dog beast to meet - Mr. Dore was also pounding his tongue drums.

Mr. Dore seems to be hometown with Mr. Arnold, but now he seems to be working as a merchant.

They told me a lot of stories, but I was slightly excited to talk about it that way, either because I didn't have good feelings for the human beings of the Suaven Empire.

Hmm...... beware of humans who call themselves kemonos (* in the sense of contempt that they are similar to wildlife) about beasts,?

I don't think that's quite the case.

- That's why the dinner ended safely without being known about one incident in the Powdal Wetlands.

Rim went back to his room and Mr. Arnold and Mr. Dore said they would still continue drinking.

Speaking of which, I was just trying to get some rest in my room because I was just tired.

Someone grabbed me by the shoulder.

Looking back slowly, Mr. Arnold is laughing single-handedly at a jock with booze.

...... ok. Even if you can't get drunk, I'll go out with you.

Sitting in my seat again and drinking for a while - rarely did Mr. Arnold ask me for a softening feeling.

"Mmm... thank you for taking Rim today. So... well, nothing, I guess...?

After that question, I almost blew out the booze I was drinking.

Oh no... did you find out you fought the Demons...?

Even though there were no other signs of suspicion that the armor was new.

No, wait.

Didn't they just ask? Maybe he had something to worry about, but he didn't find out.

I try my best to respond under the guise of calm.

"No, it's not like anything happened, especially with this...?

Often his gaze staggered and Mr. Arnold laughed out lavishly.

At the same time, he bashingly slaps Mr. Dore in the back as he sat beside him.

"Kuhahahahaha! It still seemed like Dore was overthinking it."

"Gee ho! No, that's why I told you I was joking."

I don't know the details of that exchange, but did Mr. Dore find it unnatural to talk about me and Rim...?

Merchant's observational eye...... don't be afraid.

- It was a long night.
