8 CHAPTER VI SHOPPING FOR THE FIRST TIME




 It's been about six months since the day I built the Growth Misanga.

 Since I made the Growth Misanga, I still haven't made any magic items.
 I think it's necessary to use good materials to make magic items, so I don't use magic stones carefully and pour magic power into them everyday.

 Because of this, the magic stone is becoming more beautiful and shiny every day.
 Now that gray stone shines as brightly as those other gems.
 It's only because I poured my magic power into the stone every day to the limit, and because of the growth misangement (thanks?). So, my magic is a hell of a lot better than it was!

 Title
 The one who has memories of another world.
 Mage (new)

 What a surprise, my magic power exceeded 10,000 at the age of 5. ....
 Also, a sorcerer has become a mage.
 By the way, it is said that Granny is the only mage alive in this world now.

<She's a mage.
 You can get it when your magic goes over 10,000.
 25% less magic needed for magic.

 It's amazing how much magic power you need is reduced by a quarter: ....
 I can't wait to see how much my magic power will increase as I grow.

 I'm thinking of practicing non-attribute magic today because there's no point in training my magic power any further.
 That's how I was thinking about today's schedule: ....

 Concon.
'Excuse me, Master Diorc is calling for Master Leo.

Okay. I'll be there in a minute.

 I don't know what's going on, but he's never called me out before.
 Could it be: .... They've found out about the handkerchief!

'Excuse me, I've brought Master Leo with me.

 I walked in and saw Dad at his desk, going over some papers.
There he is.
 My dad looked up quietly when he noticed me come in.

'Well, what's the matter with you? Dad?
 Is this really going to piss you off?

 I said I was on the edge of my seat.
You don't have to be so nervous, I'm not mad at you.
 Dad spoke in his usual tone.

Really? Then why did you call me here?

It's about time for the emperor's triennial visit.

'What? Why do you come here once every three years?

"It's not. The purpose of coming to this place, on the frontline of this country and its demons, is to show both home and abroad that our country is safe... That's the pretense, but it's really just the emperor's once-in-three-years vacation.

'What? The first half of the story makes sense, but is there any place to vacation here?

Yeah, my father built this spa town so he could bathe in it. Incidentally, the town is called Okura, as my father used to call it.

 Well, if you're Japanese, you'll want to take a hot spring bath.
 Okura, I wonder if Grandpa's last name was Okura-san.

So, why did you call me here?

That's because a princess as big as you is coming with the emperor and queen.

So?

I mean, keep the princess company.

Oh, that sounds like a big deal.

It can't be helped. The queen is close to Kara, so I'm sure she'd like to talk to me alone, and I have to deal with the emperor.

Mmm. Oh, yeah. Just give me permission to go outside and give me some money!
 I have an idea.
 Now I can go out there.
 And maybe I can go out and look for ingredients for some creative magic: ....

Hmm, fair enough. But if I go outside, I need to be with Sebastian.

Yeah, okay. Thank you!
 Yes!

All right, then, here's your allowance.
 Then he put three gold coins in a small bag and handed them to me.



'What? Is it this good?

Yeah, it's an advance on the princess's entertainment pay.

Oh, thank you.

Oh, don't waste it.

Yes?

 By the way, one gold coin alone was worth between $200,000 and $300,000 in a previous life .
 One silver coin for 100 copper coins.
 100 silver coins and 1 gold coin.
 10 gold coins and 1 white gold coin
 That's one vector per copper.

 And I got 30,000 vectors on my pocket money.
 So that's 800,000 to 900,000 vectors. That's 800,000 to 900,000.

 Do you think it's that easy to give a kid that kind of money?
 Well, if I could have it, I would have it!

<The next day.
 I'd like to go outside today, now that I've been cleared.
Off I go!

I don't want you to get lost. Never leave Sebastian's side.

Okay, Mom.

Master Kara, don't worry. I'll stay with you and make sure you're safe.

You'll be safe with me. Have a good day.

 When I walked outside, I saw a long shopping street with many people.
As a hot spring town for the heroes, this town has become the base for both tourists and high-level adventurers who challenge the Devil's Forest. There are also people who come here to buy the precious materials found in the Devil's Forest.

Huh. I didn't know the Forest of Evil was so awesome.

''Yes, the only ones who have been able to go deeper are the heroes, and this is a place where even adventurers of the A level and above can't make it back alive in the shallow end.

Then why do adventurers challenge it?

That's because you get a lot of expensive material that you can play with and live with for the rest of your life.

'So you're going to try to win a lot of money: .... Sebastian, I want to go to a store that sells materials from this town.

'Are you interested in what you just said? All right, let's go.

Yeah, I'm intrigued. (I could use some creative magic.)

 Then we walked around the shopping district for a while.

This is the mill.
 Sebastian pointed to a store that had many kinds of animal skins and plant leaves, as well as large magic stones and magic stones of various colors in the back .

''Welcome . What can I do for you today?
 As soon as I walked in, the clerk spoke to me.

'This girl is interested in the material and I'm here to show you what we have.

Yeah. Well, please take your time.

 Then we'll take a look at them in turn and appraise the ones that caught our attention.
<Red ogre skin.
 Excellent fire resistance
 Highly durable.

<Manticore skin.
 Durable yet light
 It's easy for magic to pass through.

<Cyclops' skin.
 Very sturdy and tear resistant

<Elder Trent's Branch.
 Excellent magic penetration.
 It's good for the medicine.

<The fangs of a wyvern.
 It's very hard and has a very sharp tip.

<Mithril.
 Easy to process and great at penetrating magic.

 They're all amazing, but Mithril caught my eye.
Sir, this is Mithril. Mithril can be obtained by defeating the Mithril Golem in the dungeon.

How much does this cost?

''Well... . The Mithril Golem is a monster found at the far end of the dungeon, so it's expensive.... That's five white gold coins a kilo.

Oh, that's expensive. How much would you get for this, by the way?

 After saying that, I showed the clerk the magic stone that I had been secretly storing up.

''This is a great magic stone: .... Who put the magic in it?

It was me. I poured my magic into it every day.

'Oh, that's a wonderful amount of magic: .... Let's see. This magical stone is classified as a top grade magical stone.

Master Leo is very good! I didn't know that the magic stone I gave you that day could be made into something so magnificent: .... I'm thrilled.
 Sebastian said, and held his eyes with a handkerchief.

''So .... As for the price of this magic stone, how about ten white gold coins?

Is it really that expensive?

''Yes, it's not easy to see magic stones with this much magical power, so I'm selling it to you at ....

It's up for sale. I'll also buy a kilo of mithril, so you can deduct the money from the purchase price.



Okay. Okay, a kilo of mithril and five white gold pieces.

Okay. Well, thank you very much.

Thank you, too.
 I'm out of the store.

Master Leo, what are you going to do about Mithril?

I'll use it to practice my creative magic.

It's great that you're doing this for a living.
(But why would they use mithril to practice creation magic?)

 Actually, people in this world don't know that materials can be used for creation magic.
 Leo just happened to have a copy of the appraisal, which he was lucky enough to get to know.

 That night.
 I hung the mithril I bought today for now and looked at it in my room .

 Yesterday I was amazed at $800,000 and today alone I got $10,000,000 and $10,000,000 in precious metals: ....
 He is a rich man at the age of 5.
 A normal child would be crazy for the rest of his or her life.
 Well, no normal kid would ever get this much money .....

 Conn. 

 Huh? What's going on at this hour?
Leo, we're coming in.
 And then my dad walked in.

 You sure about that?
 What's more rare than seeing your father in my room.

Hey, what's going on?
 After all, you can't be a kid and have that much money: ....

'The emperor is arriving tomorrow, so give him my regards.
 Huh? Apparently, it's a different thing .

 Well, the emperor is already coming: ....
"Huh, okay.
 It looks like we'll be experimenting with creation magic using Mithril some other time.

Oh well, all right, I hear the princess is pretty.

It doesn't matter!

Oh, you're more responsive than I expected. Well, I'll say hi!
 Dad said and walked out of the room.

 Ha, I wonder what's going to happen: ....
 With that in mind, I went to bed early for tomorrow.
