The magic item store in Anesis was able to find it without taking too long to find it after I started looking for it.
　However, it was the closest magic item store to where Ray was, and there were actually several other magic item stores.

(Well, there are more than one magic item store in Gilm, and it's only natural that there are more than one in Anesis?)

　Ray had such a question, but the reason why there are so many magic item stores in Gilmoo is because of its remote location.
　Monster materials available only around Gilm, plants growing only there, or ores found only in remote areas...so many alchemists gathered in Gilm to study them, resulting in more shops selling magic items.
　Moreover, Gillum is currently under construction, and once it is completed, there will surely be more magic goods stores.
　Anyway, Ray and others were able to get to the magic store safely.

"Come on in. Oh, my God?"

　The clerk is a woman in her mid-20s.
　The woman clerk probably immediately noticed who had come into her shop.
　A momentary look of surprise, but soon he opens his mouth with a big smile.

"I never expected General Hime and crimson to come to my shop. So what magic items do you want?"

　Even after they understand that the customers who come to their restaurants are princess generals and crimson, the staff's attitude doesn't change.
　Wondering that this store might have been a hit, Ray says what he's looking for.

"I'm looking for magic ornaments. Do you have any recommendations?"
"Oh? That's..."

　At what Ray said, the clerk's woman glances at Elena.
　Sure enough, it's Elena who's with Ray, and she's asking if there's any decorative magic items in the situation.
　I can't help but be convinced that I came to buy magic items for Elena as a gift.
　...and it's not wrong to actually buy Elena's magic items.

"What should I do? Should I choose Elena or Marina?"

　That's why, the moment she heard Ray's words, the clerk stopped working for a moment.
　As long as we live in Annesis, we know rightly what Ray and Elena are like.
　But I know Ray and Elena's relationship, but of course I don't know the existence of Marina or Vihela.
　That being the case, Ray's words seemed even fatal to Elena.

(Don't quarrel with me here!)

　I know Ray and Elena, both of whom are notorious.
　If such two people don't want to start a joke fight here, the magic items in this store will be damaged.
　On the contrary, my life is in danger.
　The woman, cold-blooded with such fear, hoped that she would somehow not quarrel with him. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ..

"Well, I'll take my share later. I'm here to buy souvenirs, so I'd better pick out the marina's share first."
"What?"

　Elena's mouth was not a reproach, much less a jealous voice, but a normal one.

(Oh, I'm not talking about my love rival, I'm still a little kid.

　With that in mind, the clerk opens his mouth to solve his doubts.

"How old are you going to give it to? Of course, there are many differences between children and adults."

　The clerk thinks in his head what kind of magic items there were for children's ornaments...

"One child is about ten years old, and two children about the same age as us."
"...what?"

　It was as expected that there were children, but the clerk said stupidly whether it was completely unexpected that there were two other adults.
　In this world, having multiple wives and husbands is not so unusual.
　But the clerk looks at Ray amusingly, saying, "I can't believe I've got a beautiful woman like Elena, but I can't believe I've reached out to other women."

(Maybe it's amazing at night?)

　As a businessman, it's only natural to think of the mean things and keep it from expressing itself.
　What's more, as a seller of magic items, it was only natural to think about it.

"I see. So I'm going to show you some products. Which do you prefer, appearance or effect?"
"Oh... Which do you think is better?"

　Ray thought about it a little, but eventually he couldn't think of it and asked Elena.
　If Ray buys his ornaments as his own, he will prioritize effectiveness.
　But this time it's a gift to the most beautiful women, such as Marina and Vichela. ... There's Bune, too.
　At any rate, as long as such a beautiful woman wears it, not only the effect as a magic item, but also the appearance will undoubtedly become important.
　Even if it's a magic item with a high effect, it's grossly ugly...or even if it's not ugly, if it's something that doesn't suit marina or Vihela, it's even more eye-catching because they're beautiful.
　In order to prevent this from happening, it was necessary to attach importance to appearance.

"Well, it depends on the effectiveness of the magic item, but basically it's better to focus on appearance. If the effectiveness is too great, it's a different story..."

　So Elena pauses and looks at the clerk.
　The meaning of the gaze was obvious without even thinking about it.
　In other words, is there a magic item that has a powerful effect on a woman to ignore her appearance?
　Elena's gaze quickly shook her head.
　This store didn't have magic items that had the effect of Elena's mouth.
　No, some magic items with powerful effects are sold as products, but those magic items are not ornamental.
　I couldn't have put it out as a decoration, if not quite.

"I'm sorry, but we don't have that powerful magic item. Of course, if you really want it, you can order it, or you can have it made by an alchemist... it takes a lot of time."
"I suppose,"

　It was understandable to Ray.
　Considering the incident of twilight, that would be obvious.
　Elena also used multiple magic items and never denied the clerk's words.
　After confirming they are satisfied, the clerk opens his mouth with a smile.

"Well, I'll bring some decorative magic items, so please wait a moment."

　a clerk who heads to the back of the shop
　There are also some magic items in the store, but they're in the nick of time... that's what you'll give them when a robber or something comes, and they're cheap things that you don't mind being robbed of.
　However, even if it's a cheap item, it means a cheap item. For the general public, it's no substitute for an expensive item, and if it's stolen by robbery or whatever, the damage to the store will definitely be reasonable.

"For Marina and Vihela, we need to choose something solid. Bune will be more pleased with something solid and effective than jewels and such."
"Is that so? ... well, I suppose so."

　Ray was momentarily suspicious of Elena's words, but if he was in trouble for money as he had first met Bune, Bune is not particularly worried about money.
　Especially since I started to party with Ray in Gilm, I've been able to earn so much money that I want to tell you what my life was like before.
　With this in mind, it was obvious that Bune would not sell the jewelry anywhere, but would use it himself.
　That being the case, magic items that have a solid effect will be more pleasing than they sell at a high price.
　Just before Ray nods in agreement with Elena's words, a clerk comes back with a few boxes.

"What about these magic items that both look and effect are appropriate?"

　That's what the clerk brought me with a lot of accessories such as rings, bracelets, necklaces, and earrings.
　As the clerk said, everything was acceptable as a decoration, let alone as a magic item.
　At the very least, there is nothing to be called a poor ornament in Elena's eyes, let alone Ray.

"They're all wonderful,"

　Elena exclaims with admiration, and the clerk smiles broadly.I brought only the things I was confident in, and yet Elena... the fact that the Duchess of Kelebel had recognized me was undoubtedly a joy for the clerk.

"If you say so, it's worth bringing, and they're all proud of you. ... Of course, since they're of the first quality, the price will be a little higher as it should be."

　Nevertheless, the clerk is not worried about the price.
　Ray, who will pay this time, is a notorious adventurer.
　That's because it never seemed like I didn't have enough money to buy this kind of magic item.
　...and many adventurers spend all their money without saving it.
　However, if you become an adventurer with a different name, your income must be reasonably high, and you can't think that you'll run out of money just by buying food and drink or a woman.
　Moreover, Ray was with Elena, so he didn't think he could imitate buying a woman.

"What do you recommend?"

　At Ray's words, the clerk refers to a necklace.

"Yes. This necklace contains the magic of water, and it gives the wearer resistance to the magic of the flame, though..."

　So the clerk pauses and turns to Ray.

"There is no point in the magic and powerful magic used by Ray, who is nicknamed crimson and is also known as the son of the magic of fire."
"It's the first time I've heard of the magic of fire."

　Up until now, he had been called a bandit eater because of his nickname crimson and his love of attacking robbers, but this was the first time Ray had heard of the magic of fire.
　However, I don't understand why it's called so.
　To those who see the fire whirlwind that combines skills and magic, it seems to be the magic of fire.

"Really? I've heard a lot about it. ... Anyway, resistance can reduce the magical damage of less than a certain amount of flame."
"...you don't mean to nullify it,"

　The clerk nods apologetically to Elena's somewhat surprising murmur.

"Yes, with this necklace... there are some that have stronger magical defenses than this, but it's not a kind of ornament, it's something that can be put up and used somewhere..."
"I think that's useful, but that's a back-burner. ... Don't you think this necklace will suit Vihela?"

　At Ray's words, Elena imagines Vihela wearing a necklace.
　It was definitely a sight to describe as fitting.

"You look so good on me. To be honest, I envy you."

　Some jealous compliments came out of Elena's mouth.
　The clerk who hears it fails to keep his surprise from expressing himself.
　It's only natural. She declared that the necklace would suit her to the point where she envied Elena, the most beautiful woman in the world.
　How many women in this world are more beautiful than Elena?
　If you think about it, the clerk can only be in awe of Elena and... and the crimson who has brought in some other people who are as beautiful as Elena.
　The only thing the clerk could do was explain the magic items while keeping Ray out of sight.
