It's been more than a dozen days since I defeated Rupeslex.
I have not yet given the Demon Stone to the association so that it does not become unnatural, considering the dates from then to and from the Rugen Valley.
It's that size, so if it's normal to bring it back, it'll take time, and I'm vacating a little more time.
In the meantime, of course, slowly... there was no reason why I was doing this, but I was hunting for demon stone collections and collecting gems for gifts with Sisha.
You've already saved over 950 Demon Stones and only a few more to your minimum goal of 1000.
And even today, before collecting demonic stones, Sisha and I are coming to the Rugen Valley to get the gemstone's raw stones.
"Magic blades are still the best way to hunt Lapis. I'm unhappy that I'm not responding very well, but this is fun."
"You can handle not only fights and wands, but even swords."
"Because it's a magic sword with no entity. No matter how many clerics I am, the physical sword is still hard to handle."
If you're dealing with a big lapis, the offense is as hard as it gets when you just hit them with physics, so they had Sisha holding the reinforced magic blade on top of each other.
I wasn't really going to be used to it because it's a sword-based weapon... but now I'm ripping the lapis clean one after the other, sounding like a boom.
"Osakura-san has also recently had more chances to use Centipede bras in hunting, right?"
"Oh, because it's UR gear because I haven't been able to handle it at all...... I thought I'd use it more actively to get used to it."
"Still, if you're dealing with Lapis or something, it seems enough already. Good luck moving two or more"
"Gu... we will work positively..."
When I dealt with Lupezlex, it was a great shock that the centipede bra was smashed just by hitting it.
It's too tragic to say that it's the best piece of equipment called UR, but just let it crush and scatter.
So since then, I have been actively hunting using centipede bras to try my best too.
Thanks to this, the hardness and attack speed have increased, and about goblins, oaks and lapis can be handled lightly.
But I could run five centipede bras at the same time.
Looks like you're having such a hard time manipulating one, when will you manipulate it all at the same time...
With all that troubles, we finish our hunt in today's Rugen Valley and take a break and look at the gemstones that we have so far acquired.
"Hmm, I got a lot of stuff, but I don't know if I can choose from this"
"Mmmm...... same goes for me. I feel like this is going to be good... there's going to be something better..."
Numbers also gathered a lot, with nearly 50 raw stones in total. Large objects are about the size of fists.
Tomorrow I'm going to deliver the Demon Stone to the association in Quelles, so I think it's time to choose which one to use to ask for the processing of the gem.
I don't know if there is one, but it's close to where the jewellery comes from, so there should be a store that processes the jewellery...
"I knew you'd better be big, right? So... is he this fist-sized guy?
"Hey, it's an ornament...... I don't know if it's too big."
Is the fist size too big after all?
This big thing is going to get in the way... and it's subtly heavy on me.
"Choosing jewels is important, but it's also a matter of what ornaments you might give them. Does Sissha make it a necklace?
"That's what I thought at first. I also feel like I should fasten my hair and bracelet..."
Sisha is troubled with her arms together and her head tilted.
What kind of things can I give you that will please me as well as choosing gems?
I've never given a girl a gift. As far as I'm concerned, it's more troubling this way than choosing a jewel.
... Well, I have anticipation of what I'd be happy to give you.
"What do you think would make Estelle happy?
"It's a ring."
"That's a quick answer."
"Doesn't that... even Mr. Ogura know that?
"No, well... yes, I am."
It's still a ring......
I was so happy when I gave him the Gacha ring.
I also feel like it's another engagement ring or something, but if it makes you happy, is that the best way to give it to me?
But I already have a gacha ring, and I don't feel very happy about it.
I know it's a good idea to ask the person what he wants, but he wants to give it to me in a surprise, so I'm not asking because I'm going to give it to him in a surprise as well.
"What do you want, by the way, if it's Sisha?
"What, it's me? Right... is it a knuckle duster or something"
"That's a weapon!
"Ugh, I'm kidding. As far as I'm concerned, I usually like necklaces and stuff."
"There'd already be a guy from Gacha, wouldn't there?
"You don't know Osakura-san anymore. And this is different."
Sisha would really want a weapon, so I believe you...
Are these kinds of gifts different from those from Gacha than that?
Gacha decorations are so beautiful and well built that I thought it would be better not to wear them as a gift, but apparently not.
"Is that what it is? What do you think I'd want if I were finally Knoll?
"Is that Mr. Knoll? Er... eat... hon. Is that a hair fastening or something?
"You almost said food now."
Agreed, I totally agree.
I know you'd be happy if I gave you ornaments or something, but I feel Knoll would be more than happy to give you good food.
It may be terrible to treat yourself as a maiden, but you can't help it because it's settled as an image.
Then after a while I stared at the jewels.
"... I've made my decision. I choose this yellow gem!
"Whoa, did you finally decide? Then I guess I'll keep it this red jewel."
Sisha chose a yellow gem about 3 cm across and I chose the same red gem.
Estelle often uses fire magic, and I knew it was imaginatively red.
Besides, this gem has a color close to Estelle's eyes, so I guess... no, it must look good on you.
●
The day after I finished picking out the gems.
"Are you going to the association with Sisha today?
"Yeah, it's a bad idea to ask Knoll to escort you every time."
"Nothing, I don't mind… Sisha, I asked for Ogura."
"I'll take care of it. I'll take care of Mr. Okura responsibly."
"Why do I have to be worried every time..."
Today is the day you go to the association in Quelles with the exorcism stone to me.
I'm usually accompanied by Knoll, but I'm taking Sisha today because I'm going to a store that will process the gems after me.
"My brothers, you seem really close these days."
"Oh, I don't think so. See?"
"Oh, yeah! It happens, it happens!
Estelle, who was sitting in a chair, looked at me and Sisha with jito eyes and groaned.
Indeed, Cisha and I often act together these days.
I was totally forgetting about that boob riot, too, but I feel Estelle has been strangely suspicious since that day.
I've been there to make sure they didn't find out I was giving them gems, and I don't think I can help it.
If we react any worse, we'll find out, so we made a beacon trip to Quelles before that.
I take a big magic masonry out of my magic bag outside of town and put it in the luggage I had prepared and go inside.
It's a hassle to do this on purpose, but there's no reason to get it out of the bag in front of you.
"I knew this would be too much..."
"Everyone on the road is watching. Even if it's not a magic stone, this size is still remarkable."
When we get inside Quelles, we pull our luggage and walk, we gather our gaze.
And he looked at all the white stone slabs he was putting on, which seemed rare.
Few people will know this is the Demon Stone, but it would seem odd to be carrying such a big stone on purpose.
But it should be better than lifting and carrying this yourself at all.
Even though I can normally lift it, if I do that, it won't be on a level that stands out.
We arrived at the Adventurers' Association with some glance.
This size is going to get in the way when I put it inside the association, so once I had Sisha keep an eye on the exorcism stone, I went inside and called in the receptionist.
"Hey, what is this? I've never seen a demon stone this size... You've been well transported."
"Haha... I had a hard time bringing it"
I had nothing wrong with carrying it because I had it in my bag, but let's just say I had a hard time.
Still, I knew it was this demonic masonry rare thing that was so big that I'd never seen it.
The magic stone was transported to the staff for each luggage, and we entered the association to receive the reward.
And I thought I'd get paid for everything...
"Good luck accomplishing your request. I'd just like to give you a reward… I'd like you to confirm one thing before I do."
"Yes? Could... was there a problem?
What is it? I brought the Demon Stone properly, but was there something wrong with it?
You can't do this because it's too big... there's no such thing as that, right?
"You got this request as the first 3 million G's, right?
"Yes, it is"
"So the reward will be 3 million G's … that's a normal size Demon Stone case."
Oh, I knew this was too big?
This will break my heart if they tell me it's not a normal size Demon Stone or something.
I was hunting there quite a bit with Cisha and Gemstone Collection, but Lupesrex never gushed.
I may be springing up there because I haven't got my foot where I first found it, but if not, I'd be tough to look for it again.
"Does that mean it's too big?
"That's what happens. But don't worry, it doesn't mean you shouldn't because it's big."
Great...... apparently I don't need to go looking again.
But then, what the hell are you going to talk about?
"If it's a regular request, you'll give it as much as you need. But this time it's a request from the institute...... there's no limit to the number. If we can collect two, the reward will be 6G."
"... that means you can get paid according to this size?
"Yes."
Ugh! Seriously!
Speaking of which, Kristia felt like she just wanted some Demon Light Stone, and I wonder if this is the same thing.
"But if you're an association, I don't know how much to reward you with this exorcism stone. So this time I'm only going to give you 3 million Gs, and the rest is going to mean after I hear from the lab. Is that okay with you?
"Yes, you'll be fine."
"Thank you. So this is the 3 million G of the reward."
Well, you mean you can't grasp the amount of the reward because it's one big chunk, not multiple?
Nothing. I don't care that much about the money, and I'd appreciate it if I could get more later.
Finally, the conversation comes together and I receive a bag of gold coins.
And I tried to find a processing plant that was my next purpose... but I flashed to ask if I could just ask here before I could.
"Oh, excuse me. I need to ask you something, okay?
"Yes, please ask me what it is"
"Is there a shop in this town where you can process gems?
"What, is it a gem! Maybe you've taken it in the Rugen Valley! Then..."
As soon as the receptionist heard of the jewel, she explained it to us with her eyes shining.
As it turns out, there are times when the jewelry region is close, and there seems to be a shop in Quelles where you can process multiple jewels.
There are usually stores that use tools to process them, and stores that use magic to process them.
I was hotly told that manual use of tools cuts better, magic adds more transparency and brilliance...... I don't know.
In the meantime, I heard the whole explanation, and then they gave me a map of the location of the store and left the association behind.
"Okay, I could ask you about the jewelry factory, and you're just going to ask for it."
"Yes! Ugh, wait for me, Mr. Luna! I'll give you my loving gift!
When I finally get a present, the tension in Cisha is rising.
I don't think you can take it today and do it right away, but I'm looking forward to seeing what this gem will look like even for me.
Hopefully Estelle will be happy......
