"That sounded like a lot of trouble, Sacred Virgin Church."

"Believers... Dollar Ota, isn't it, almost"

"Some of them are powerful, aren't they? No way, does it include aristocracy?

"Dollar ota with power...... you can't beat the end"

That's what I said with my face in my face, Natsuki.

I'm just a little surprised Natsuki doesn't usually say that.

"Natsuki, is there also any resentment towards Doruota?

"No, that's it..."

"Does that mean something?"

"Haha, Natsuki has been annoyed by bad manners from Doruota several times before"

"I know it with some people, but you're going to have a really bad image,"

To Yuki's words, Natsuki shook his head with a bitter smile.

Indeed, minor hobbyists really tend to be seen with that eye. The truth is that the individual is just bad.

"I know that my influence as an original religion is limited in this world where God exists..."

"Hey, Doruota's a kind of religion, too"

"The problem would be that the Sacred Virgin Church would suck up money abnormally. To some extent it will be absorbable as a form of economic activity, but when it becomes an irresistible collection system based on skills…"

"Will social distortions increase"

"Yes, the result is social anxiety, increased slavery, deterioration of security, etc..."

Put them in idols. Debt bitterness, slave falls, family separation...... I guess they would normally deserve it, but looking at Mr. Aela's case, it never seems like the effect of his skills is low.

"But it's the politicians who think about it - no, it's noble work, isn't it? You won't be too busy if we get involved."

"Well, yeah. Thinking about Aela, it's a little annoying to leave her alone, but it's a pain in the ass if we're badly involved and we're attracted or something."

"I still haven't decided that Takamatsu cheated on Aela."

"But it also doesn't have the benefit of being involved. Finish your errands early and head back to Raffan. If you're going to stretch your forefinger to Raffan, you'll need to think about it then."

"We don't have to take responsibility for our classmates."

If you dare to be responsible, Master Advastris, it would be good to say that Takamatsu is responsible for himself because it becomes a 'knife commits murder' controversy.

"Well, let's head to the Alchemy Shop, as originally planned."

◇ ◇ ◇

"Ah, corn.... but it's dry"

On the way around a few alchemy stores, it was Yuki who said so and stopped.

If you look at the end of that gaze, there's corn in a cage in an outdoor store.

Not the corn with the ear and skin on it, as seen in the supermarket, stacked up in a nicely peeled state, slightly smaller in size.

"Speaking of which, you were also talking about corn and flower seeds. Want to buy it and go home?

"Yeah. But does it bud even if it dries?

"The corn seeds you're selling are dry and wrinkled, so you think it's okay, right? I heated it and then dried it, or something like that."

"Then I'll get it!

I was a little interested, too, so I'm going after Yuki, who headed to the dew shop.

"You got a lot of colors, huh?

"Yeah, it's yellow or white in Japan, but there seems to be a lot going on around the world, doesn't it?

"Regardless of the warm color system like red or something, colors like blue don't have a bit of an appetite..."

"Well, you're not used to it. In the meantime, shall we just buy a yellow one and go home? I've heard they mix colors when they mate."

Speaking of which, I've heard farmers say before that in order to grow bright white corn, you have to keep quite a distance from yellow varieties of pollen so they don't fly.

Corn mixed with yellow and blue grains...... I guess it's different in color and flavor, but it's also important in appearance, after all.

"Brothers, are you buying?

When we were talking about it, a young man called out about 30 years ago, who had a store number.

Merchant, is it?

Physical stature or something looks slightly poorer for a farmer.

"Um, how do you eat this?

Exactly, Yuki also asked the clerk if she had ever used dry corn.

If you're a regular corn, you should boil it and eat it, but when it comes to dry stuff...... powder it and tortilla? No, my only knowledge is that tortillas use corn powder.

"Oh, you don't know? Well, in this heap, because I don't eat much compared to wheat. You take this grain off the shaft and simmer it with the soup, or powder it to make bread. It tastes different than wheat. It's delicious.

"What, maybe it's a crop that doesn't grow around here?

"No, I don't think so, do you? It's just not made because they haven't eaten it, is it? Some neighborhoods are made nearby."

"Hmm, is your brother a pedestrian?

"That's right. I'm going around town. What's in line here is a crop I bought in another town."

"I see. Give me 10 of these three."

From the mountains of corn lined up, Yuki chooses three yellow objects to point at and order.

"Every time! Is it good for you to be yellow?

"Um, because yellow looks better somehow?

"Is that what it is? Doesn't red or something look delicious? It tastes a little different than yellow."

The merchant twists his neck as he packs the ordered corn in a bag.

If you are told that it is indeed only stereotypes, you are right. Little beans are usually red, dark purple and fruit are normal colors, and aubergines are purple. On that point, yellow or white, if normal, doesn't even look properly ripe.

It's just that familiar corn is yellow.

I know that too Yuki, so I smile bitterly and open my mouth.

"Because it's my personal feeling. And if you put it in a soup or something dark, it's going to come in color."

"Most things are white inside just the skin... well, do you care about the color of the skin? It's a little colorful."

While I twisted my neck a little, I guess I understood Yuki's point. As I nodded, I threw one colored object into the bag and offered it to me.

"Besides, I put one of the other colors in, so give it a try."

"Is it good? Thanks! I'll come back when I get the chance."

"Oh. I open a store in this corner sometimes, so please do it again!

When we came back from buying corn, the other three were just about to come back from buying something at the dewstore.

It's also a bad idea to put it in a magic bag where people are, so I have as many bags as I can hold, but what Natsuki has is enough bags to hold with one hand. Would the rice be the size that seems to contain about 2 or 3 kilos?

"Did the Natsukis buy something, too?

"Yes. I was selling vegetable seeds, so I took that"

Vegetable breed… so-called Abrana.

You squeeze the oil? We certainly don't have any vegetable oils. There's so much fat I can take from animals that I didn't dare to buy it.

Sure, lard has a bit of a persistent part, and maybe even some salad oil -.

"Yeah, the vegetable flower fields are good, too. The garden is huge, so it might look good! You can plant anything but flowerbeds!

They were for ornamental use, not for eaters.

"Looks like I don't sell many ornamental flowers after all. It might be easier to plant flowers."

"I'll pick up the rest myself, right? At times, if you go to the woods, you might be growing lilies or something. Plants of the bulb type are easy to transplant."

"Lily, that's good too. Spherical roots don't take much effort. Don't you have a tulip or something?

"There may be native species... what do you think? That forest."

"I don't remember seeing many flowers..."

Some of the time things would have gone into the woods, but I don't remember realizing that flowers were blooming.

Could it have gone out of sight because you simply can't afford to love flowers, but would there be flowers blooming in the woods so conveniently?

"No, not many things stand out like horticultural species, but the flowers themselves are quite blooming, aren't they? Unless you have a tulip or not."

"It's a manners violation to pick wild grasshoppers in Japan, but it won't be a problem here, and we'll look for them the next time we go"

Natsuki and Hulka seemed to be well aware.

I told Toya, "Did you notice? 'And I shook my head when I turned my gaze, so is that the difference in consciousness between men and women,?

Lately, I've only been collecting herbs for my own consumption, so I'm less likely to look at plants.

"So, are we good enough about flower seeds?

"If I were selling it, I'd buy it, but don't you need to look? Isn't that good?

"Right. It's a hobby range, so I think that's good."

"Copy that. Shall we go to the Alchemy Store?"

With the Sacred Virgin Church and the corn, we had a little more stopovers, but we walked back to the alchemy store where we were meant to be.

◇ ◇ ◇

There are four alchemy-related shops in this city that we looked into.

Through those four stores, we bought and collected the materials we needed.

I have all the necessary materials in my second store, but financially I can afford some, so I plan to go around all the stores to buy more materials as well, and to look for a magical activator.

But the magic activator swings until the third house, and with a glimmer of hope, asks the same question in the last fourth house.

"Do you have a magic activator?

"Nothing."

Returning from the shopkeeper's old lady, as in previous shops, was an indescribable word.

But there was a continuation of what the shopkeeper said here.

"Is that what you deal with in weapons stores? Listen here. What are you gonna do?"

"Oh, no. Not a weapon, a ring or something like that. Don't you have any idea?

I also asked the arms dealer who went around in the morning, what came out was a cane, a staff type activator, and none of the rings, etc.

If it is still very effective, I also bought it, but it seems delicate because I see it, and then it is quite expensive. If we were to buy that, it would be more viable to put money into regular weapons and armor.

The opinions of the other members were the same again, after all, I never bought one.

"Not a weapon, are you? I think that's a little tricky."

"Really?

"Because we don't get a lot of activators out there. There are few magicians who can make it. You'll need precious demon stones, too."

It's the alchemist who makes the activator, but he's quite limited to an alchemist who can actually make it.

Even the activators we rated subtle are quite difficult to make, and that seems to be reflected in the price.

"I see... by the way, what about your grandmother?

"Was that you? I can't. I had no qualities."

The shopkeeper shakes his head and sighs. You mean like a veteran but you can't, or in the end, qualities?

Quality... Could Hulka with [Alchemy Quality] be able to make it?

If you can make it, it could be one hand.

"By the way, what does a magic activator do?

"What, you didn't even know you were looking for that?

Yuki waves as Yuki panicked when she asks the question to the store owner with a slightly frightened look on her face.

"No, no, I know that 'magic makes it easier to use', but I was wondering exactly what would happen."

"That's right, if that's the level you get around it, that's exactly the extent of it. Slightly faster activation or feeling less consumed by emotional magic."

"I just feel it?

The shopkeeper smiles bitterly at us with a clapped face.

"That's because it's a sensory thing. If you're using some high-altitude demon stone, you know exactly what I mean."

I saw it at the weapons store and felt subtle because it did seem subtle.

At that point, there's little point in buying it, is there? We said, "A little of it separates life and death! 'I'm not going to carry out any more targeted fights, and then I'm going to level honestly. I also found out that I have experience.

"By the way, how high is it?

"At least the phantom beast level - I guess Griffon or something. If it's around the dragon, I hear frowning stories about halving magic consumption, or one or two levels of magic that could have been used."

That's amazing.

On top of two, "Regenerate" comes a lot closer, and it's insurance that you can use high-end magic in an emergency.

However, is the problem with 'frown spit'?

"Is it impossible to say frown spit?

"No, no. There's no such thing as a demonic stone activator in circulation. I'd be a national treasure class if I had one. Even the magical stones of the Phantom Beast can be hung for auction in the King's Capital."

By the way, if they show up at the auction, they'll be talking about the level at which pure gold coins fly.

Pure gold coins - gold coins of pure gold, as its name suggests, which are not normally in circulation. Since it is worth 10 gold coins and 100 gold coins, is it worth about 10 million yen if it is to be converted to Japanese yen?

The size is the size of the palm, apparently. I've never seen it before, so I don't know.

It's basically a stockpile coin, so it's something that the average person rarely sees.

If I let it circulate normally to pure gold alone, it would scratch and shred easily, and it would be very useless.

With our current savings, it's possible to get them, but this isn't going to be a bit fat for a 'flying' level auction.

"Assuming you find that, you don't seem to be able to buy it...... Are magic stones of phantom beast level also high?

"It depends on things. Some things you can buy without having to send out pure gold coins, but they don't circulate very well."

If so, is it difficult to make your own?

Later, we go hunting for phantom beast level demons ourselves, but I also feel the need for activators is already lower if we are at that level.

"Okay. Thank you for everything."

"Aye. Come back."
