One night after the battle for the frontline position, the White Wolf Store opened its doors as usual.

　Since it was the day after the battle to the death, he thought about closing down for at least one day to rest his body, but since many customers seemed to be looking forward to the opening of the store, he decided to welcome them without changing his plans.

　The day began peacefully, with not a hint of trouble.

　If there's anything that looks like a problem, it's that there's a little bit of last night's booze left in Garnett and Noir.

'Excuse me. May I touch the amulet?
Come in.

　The magic items that Noir had made often attracted the attention of visitors.

　Not only the expected target group of adventurers, but also the ordinary people in Green Hollow Town seemed to be interested in the magic items.

'What, Talisman?　Unusual. I can't believe they sell it in a place that isn't a peddler's stall. And it might be cheap: ......
To begin with, it's a rare occurrence for a magic item to be sold outside of a city.

　In order to make these items, you need to use the 【Magic Tool Creation】 skill to establish magic power, which is impossible for those who don't have the skill to create, but the key 【Magic Tool Creation】 is a sub-skill of wizards.

　They prioritize their work and research as wizards, and the only time they make magic items is when they need them themselves, or when they want to sell them to vendors to make a sum of money.

　As a result, the balance between supply and demand is unstable, and unless you are in an urban area with lots of wizards, magic items are rarely available on store shelves.

　Noir gave me an explanation of the main idea of ...... yesterday.

　This is the reason why many adventurers do not make use of magic items.

　Most only used them temporarily as they happened to get them, and the few who regularly stocked them and incorporated them into their tactics were in the minority.

''On the contrary, if there's a steady supply, adventurers will use it on a regular basis. Noir's guy, maybe he's found a surprisingly good demand for it).

　Peddlers who have purchased magic items from somewhere else come to Green Hollow to sell them on rare occasions, but there is no further supply.

　The demand for skimmers is targeted - a lesson Sylvia once told me her grandmother had told her.

　The sale of magic items is a perfect example of this.

''I'm sorry, white wolf. Do you have any amulets that would be useful when hunting?

　A hunter came to the counter and asked such a question as he looked at the display rack of magic items.

'Is it a hunting charm?'
'Yeah. It would be best if we had someone who could help us catch our prey better.
'I don't know much about it, so I'll ask the producer. If it looks like I can make it, I'll add it to the product.
I'm counting on you. If it's sold, I'll order all the members of the hunting association for you.

　I look away from the hunter man as he smiles and walks away, and then write the request I just made in the note at hand.

'(This is the fifth request from the townspeople. It looks like they're still interested.)

　The benefits of amulets and talismans are not limited to those related to battle.

　Strictly speaking, so-called "charms" can be classified as either passive or active amulets (amulets).

　The same is true of health or money luck charms.

　The question is whether Noir's 【Magic Tool Creation】 skill can be used to make such things.

　As I was thinking about this, the actual person who was taking a break came back to the sales floor.

''...... break, done .......''
We got another call from a local resident asking for some good luck charms. This time it's from the hunting association and they want someone who can increase their results. I've been wondering for a long time, can you make something like this with [Create Magic Tool]?
It's not impossible to make ............

　Noir thought for a moment before replying.

'Both the Amulet and the Talisman are ...... specific, and the more limited they are, the more effective they become. ...... Amulet preventing the curse of misfortune, or...' ...like the Talisman ...... that helps you focus.

　Basically, the difference is that amulets dismiss harmful interference to their owners and talismans interfere beneficially with their owners, but that doesn't seem to be relevant right now.

"On the other hand, if ...... is vague or ...... too broad in scope, it won't have the ...... effect you want... ...
'So in the hunter's example, for example, if you made a talisman that was effective in all things related to hunting, the effect would be broad and shallow?

　Noir gave a small nod of his head in a persistent way.

'...... Still, I think it can have a reasonable ...... effect. And I'm sure you can ...... make it easier to notice animal traces, or less likely to be noticed by signs, or even ...... limited.
'I see. Sounds like a worthwhile addition to our product line.
But it's important to note ...... that you shouldn't wear a lot of charms at random. ...... The mutual interference of magic power interferes with each other's effectiveness, so it's best to focus on one of the ...... targeted ones or have an ...... expert coordinate it.

　I made a mental note of the explanations I received from Noir.

　Since my time as an energetic adventurer, I try to carefully remember the information I was able to get from a professional.

　The only skill I can use myself is the [Restoration] skill.

　If I still wanted to cling to the title of adventurer, I had no choice but to build up my knowledge and experience.

　If I became satisfied with my current self, that would just be pride.

　Any precious opportunity to gain knowledge from a professional was not to be wasted, no matter what it was.

　And even after fifteen years of doing the same thing, the world is a big place, because there are still fields like this that I don't know much about.

　If the age when people around the world can exchange knowledge in an instant, my fifteen years of effort and ingenuity may be overcome in a few days.

　But that's still a dream.
　Even if it does come true, it will probably be five or six hundred years away.

If you were to make all the magic items you requested, what materials would you need?　In the meantime, make a list. I'll send a collection request to the guildhouse later.
"Oh, oh, oh, ...... okay ......

　Noir has a pen in hand and is furiously writing down the material she wants to collect.

　As I continued to serve customers while watching the scene with a sideways glance, Garnett casually approached me.

'I heard you've arrived at the Spring Wakaba-Tei, the clerk candidate introduced by Sylvia. Why don't you go see her as soon as possible and decide whether or not you want to hire her?
'Well, let's go tonight and see if we can't make it.

　This is the third regular clerk after Garnet and Noir.
　If I can successfully hire him, together with the fourth person the Adventurer's Guild is planning to introduce me to, I will be able to run the store with even more ease.

　While looking forward to meeting with that person, he decided to steadily finish the day's business for the day.
