Transition to Another World, Landmines Included

Guided by Yuki was a single shop, located relatively close to Aela's shop, the administrative division of the town of Raffan.

I know it's a luxury store from the store store store, and I kind of get into it, but Yuki doesn't seem to care about it and goes into the store.

I also went inside so that I could be pulled by it... the store was a little different than I imagined.

Speaking of my imaginary jewelry store, I feel that there are glass cases lined up, with pendants and rings lined up in them, with a price tag that I can't seem to get my hands on, but I don't have one of the rings here, naturally.

Instead, there's a reception set and a clerk who looks classy, someone who looks like a tough guard.

The dress is formal, but it feels like the atmosphere that drifts is specializing in rough matters.

As Yuki flatly laid down on the couch against me, she invited me.

Oh, this is that one.

Same type of store as when I made a courtesy in Clevilley.

The poor refuse, that.

Sir, please have a seat.

"Oh, thank you..."

The clerk, who smiled and called out to encourage me, was a slightly older man.

The butler of the Viscount Nenas, a gentleman who has not been as old as Mr. Bezel, but who combines the same kind of elegance.

You can't even sit down with me if such a clerk recommends you.

When I lowered my back a little nervously, the tea was carried without putting too much time between them.

Shop where tea is served just sitting down. It's not normal.

But Yuki opened her mouth when she took a sip without feeling the tea.

"I'd like you to show me your ring today."

"That's a ring. Please wait."

No, why would Yuki take the lead?

It helps, though.

On the occasion the clerk takes his seat off, I whisper to Kossoli and Yuki.

"(Is it okay to go into a store like this?

"(No problem, huh? If you show it to me, you can always buy it, because it's not like that. In the first place, it's something to consider and buy, something like this)"

"(That may be...)"

Besides I'm unfamiliar with it, if you take it from me as a little cautious, these stores are pretty high hurdles.

I'm sure they won't be forced to buy it - it's okay, I have the money.

Aside from buying it or not, I just have enough money to buy it and feel somewhat comfortable.

Happy or unhappy, I couldn't get the time to shop at Cleville's, and I can afford my wallet relatively.

You don't have to worry about it, I suppose.

Still, I get tea to moisten my thirsty throat with nervousness.

Yeah, yummy. Probably, good tea.

"Thank you for waiting."

Thin crates were in the hands of the clerk who came back after a while.

Placing it on the table and slowly opening the lid, a thick cloth was laid in it and the rings lined up.

It's not about cutting technology, or machining small gems to pieces, but on the contrary, larger gems are used, and clearly, they all seem expensive.

"How about that?

"Yeah, that's a pretty good quality gem."

"Thank you"

Compared to me, Yuki takes up the ring very normally and tries to put it on the light.

I know it's not something I can handle just holding it...

That said, there's no doubt that you can't choose without looking at it, so I also took it terribly, imitated Yuki and confirmed it.

- It's beautiful, if you say so... it's not a bit of a hobby. What is a categorical ring?

"Don't you have something a little simpler? Anything you can wear from time to time that doesn't get in the way."

"Something uninterrupted, is it...?

"Nao, the ring is usually something that gets in the way, right? You wear it at a party or something."

I don't wear it in disturbing situations, of course I know that, but what I want is something that seems like a wedding ring in Japan that I can wear from time to time.

It is such a thing as can be worn on the left hand pharmacopoeia.

I told the clerk that hope, and he said, "Is it a simple thing..." and I thought about it.

"Is it difficult?

"Oh, no, I can make it..."

Even though I said I could, I still have a slightly sinister look.

Yuki nods with a bitter smile at how he looks like that.

"If it's a simple ring, there's no technology or anything. Um, I wonder if you want to embed a small gem in the ring or something? So when I polish it up, isn't it pretty?

To Yuki's suggestion, the clerk looks up like a hack.

"That sounds - good. It's going to take a lot of skill."

"Uh... can you do that?

In my image, the gems aren't very heat resistant.

It's not going to work if you put gems in the molten metal, and precision machining means drilling holes and gluing them...

"Yes, naturally you will need advanced technology, but it is possible. We're going to use magic, so I think it's going to be a little expensive... How about that?

Mmm, not just silver rings or anything, it doesn't taste good.

I think it's too cheap as an engagement ring, and this is where we work hard?

"... depending on the price, in that direction"

"Thank you. What should we do with the ring material?

"What kind of material is there?

When Yuki, who seems more interested than me, rides himself out, the clerk brings another box and arranges the ring-only ring that was in it on his desk.

"Generally, silver, gold, platinum, a little higher, but it's a misrill. Typically made by mixing with other metals except silver. Platinum, Mithril can also be used alone..."

And the storekeeper clouding the words.

When I use it alone, it's messy, isn't it? I understand.

"Silver is a bit of a hassle, isn't it? If you don't brush it, it'll get cloudy. Right?

"Oh, right?

I have never used silver accessories, but I know that silver dishes are cloudy.

The silver ring placed in front of me now shines beautifully, but I'm sure it's well polished.

Thinking about it, it seems troublesome for everyday use.

"When that happens, it's more than money... this misrill's, it's so beautiful, but what's this?

"It will be a mixture of platinum and misrills. Is the percentage of misrills about half?"

A strange shade that, depending on the angle of view, can also appear rainbow, unlike the sheen of a mere platinum ring.

This is a bit unavailable in Japan, and wouldn't it be a good gift for Hulka?

And then, as a regular use, please...

"Is this, like, maintenance or something?

"You're about to wipe it if it gets dirty. Even if you don't take special care of it, it won't change your radiance."

"I appreciate that. Order… Oh, I didn't know how big my fingers were"

Do I have to just grab the candidate or the sense of price and actually bring Hulka in to buy it?

It's a shame I can't take it out of my pocket and do something smart like present.

But there's an unexpected suggestion for me from Yuki.

"Oh, then I'll be fine. There's an 'adjustment' to the alchemy, so I'll handle it for you, okay?

"What?

If you ask me, the effect seems to be that it automatically adjusts the size to suit the wearer, as the name suggests.

Since the adjustment width is not very large, it is strict to use for armor, etc., and can only be used for accessories, hats, gloves, etc., which are not very personal, but still convenient.

However, there seems to be little use for consumable gloves, etc. because of the cost involved.

"Hmm. Well, please"

"Okay, I'll take care of it! Hey, hey, Nao. Because of this, why don't we pair it up?

Hulka and a pair of rings?

... Yeah, it could be good.

"Well, so"

"Finally, why don't you buy it for me and Natsuki, too?

"Well, so - it's not! Because I won't buy it!

"Shit. I thought I could go with the stream"

I'm not going, I'm not going. I won't let you go.

Because of the fact that Hulka and her lovers became each other, can you put in a disturbance factor?

"Er, customer...?

"Oh, excuse me. Please pair the rings. If you're the size..."

"A little bigger. You can't make smaller things bigger."

"I mean. The jewels you use..."

I apologize lightly to the clerk who gives us a slightly troubled look at our relationship and packs a few more details about the ring.

The material in the ring was an alloy of misrills and platinum, the jewels had Hulka as a ruby, and I had her as a sapphire.

The size of the gemstone available is small, so its price wasn't high, but the price of misrills and platinum is quite a bit.

Adding a technical fee to that... yeah, a good portion of the holdings will blow up.

A little trembling.

No, if you think calmly, our weapons and protective equipment are more expensive.

Besides, it's better than using it for overnight dreams like Toya. I'm sure.

◇ ◇ ◇

He asked me to take a look at the ring for about a month, and we only paid the deposit and left the store behind.

Since further processing by Yuki will be required after completion, it will be more than a month before it can actually be handed over to Hulka.

But, well, it was kinda good to be able to buy it without taking Hulka.

I think that's what I'm going to buy with you, but I want to give you the first ring or so as a surprise.

- If you believe Yuki's point, I feel it's a surprise or a subtle one... Hulka is a woman who can. I'm sure he'll pretend not to notice.

"So, Yuki, if you're an 'adjuster', don't ask me? Charge me the cost."

"Rikai. I'm glad you followed me, aren't I?

"Well, when I was alone, I didn't know the store, and it was hard to get in, so it helped me..."

I can't deny and snort at Yuki, who laughs at me.

In fact, the hurdles are higher than entering a store like that, a Japanese jewelry store, and I would have been frustrated in front of the store by myself.

Yuki's figure thickness, which I don't even buy but don't have any whims about, I'd like to apprentice a bit.

"But Yuki, you're gonna set a little trap, aren't you?

"Uh, enough to call it a trap? Hey, you're just trying to take a word for it. I'm not crawling at night, am I?

"No, if you do that much, you're going through a lot of shit!

Friendship...... no, it is a crisis of party collapse.

Yuki and Natsuki's subtle approach (?) Hulka doesn't look particularly concerned about it, but if you do just that much, even she will be angry.

"It doesn't have to be me, Yuki and Natsuki can find as many people as they want, right? Even if it's" stable, "if you keep going, you'll save enough."

"That's a terrible way to put it. You still like Nao a lot?

I'm stuck in words about Yuki turning away from me and pointing her mouth like a little cocky.

"Ugh... that's, sorry. I did put it in a bad way."

If my favorite opponent says something like 'there's as many other opponents as there are', it could certainly scratch. Reflection.

I've heard that when you wave at them, you can't say 'there's someone better' or anything.

I didn't get that chance, though!

"Besides, when you marry a normal person, it's probably going to be a hassle. The effects of [Skill Robbery], remember?

"Oh. I forgot the details, but he's the guy who transfers life to the other guy and ends up dead, right?

"Yes. Me and Natsuki have a good chance of being used. A daughter-in-law who lives and remains young significantly longer than a normal person. Smells like trouble, doesn't it?

"... you can't deny it"

This world is not easy to move into.

I get to know my neighbors more deeply, and it's natural that they know all sorts of things.

Conversely, if anything unnatural happens, it becomes a rumor as it should be.

Anyway, if you're going to roll all over the place as an adventurer, otherwise you wouldn't be able to have a normal marriage or anything.

"In that regard, Nao would be an elf, and I know what's going on, and you're relieved of a lot of things, right? You don't have to worry about dying first.

………

Trouble.

I'm convinced of the reason.

I guess some hands are classmates, but about half the boys I haven't seen yet.

I don't know if he's survived, and I don't know if he's decent.

Choose from them, and say, just...

"I don't think there's a way I'm not getting married. It's good while you continue to be an adventurer, but not after you retire..."

Life after retirement.

I don't really feel it yet, but I'm going to visit some day.

What are we doing then?

Marry and have kids?

I'd love to live peacefully surrounded by children and grandchildren if I could, but if Natsuki and Yuki don't marry, I don't have any children...

"Ma, now that Hulka's going to be important, and I'm not going to say I can't, would you be happy to just think about it?

That was Yuki smiling, but as far as I was concerned, I felt subtly pushed.
