"Well, that's why I couldn't find the magic item after all right.

　Speaking about what happened today, Elena says, as she dined in Marina's garden the night the gigant turtles were dismantled.
　Marina, Vihela, and Arra all look a little dumbfounded at Ray, but... Ray nods without any particular concern.

"Oh, for the time being, I'm sure there weren't any magic items in the range I've been looking for today. I thought Sett's five senses would find some clues to it. ... What a shame."

　Saying so, Ray looks at Seto running around the garden with a yellow on his back.
　Originally, it's a half‐worst behavior, hoping to have magic items.
　That's why I don't seem particularly concerned if I can't find it this time.

"Well, but honestly, I'm curious. What kind of means can you use to manipulate a cobolt like that... if it's not a magic item, then it's something else... isn't it some kind of ritual?"
"Is Arra a ritualist? Then I... well, let's say it's skill."
"Isn't skill a little too much, Mr. Elena?"
"Really? Skills are a lot of different things. They're special abilities that people who can't use magic acquire, so maybe they're really skills."

　Marina's words make Arra look incredulous.
　Arra can't use magic and doesn't have the magic to build skills.
　That's probably why we don't know much about it.
　...though Arra's strength may be like skill in a way.
　for the power which is not worthy of its appearance is sufficient to wield a greater power axe than a regular axe.

"Well... I guess I'll vote for a rare or superior species."
"No, in the case of Vihela, you just want to fight a strong monster. In the first place, I don't think you can expect Cobold to be the base, no matter how high or rare the species is."

　Vichela, who loved fighting, was more of a choice than expected.
　However, if you say that, Ray can't talk about people because he wants magic items and expects to collect cobolts with magic items.

"Why, after all, Cobboldt's repeated attacks is not known until we actually investigate them? ... Marina, can't you tell what by spirit magic?"
"Well, Elena, can't you do anything with spirit magic?"

　Marina told me that with some amazement, but it was a little disappointing for Ray, who was listening to me.
　I was trying to ask Marina, if possible, to find out if she had any clue by spirit magic.
　However, Marina now looks at Ray with a mixed look of amazement, perhaps because she noticed him.

"What, Ray? Were you trying to get Ray to investigate Cobold's case with spirit magic, too.
"Oh... no, no. Come to think of it, I forgot to give the marinas some Anesis souvenirs."

　When I think about Marina's pursuit, I remember the whole day and tell her that I hadn't given her a souvenir yet.
　Praise himself for remembering the souvenir later today, Ray pulls the jewel out of the mistling.
　It's a white gem.
　It's one of the highlights of Anesis souvenirs.
　...and there are many other souvenirs, but I guess the reason why Ray was in a hurry was that he was the last one to take out the most of them.

"Oh, jewels? But white jewels are rare. ... Ray, what is this?"

　At first Marina looked at the jewel and looked at it, but when she picked up one of the jewels, she understood it wasn't an ordinary gem. She looked a little harshly at Ray and asked.

"Oh, you see... yes, it's not an ordinary gem. You can say it's a kind of... magic item. The white gem contains recovery magic, and it's disposable once, but you can use recovery magic right away."

　jewels and magic
　The keyword stops Bune from eating quietly.
　If only one of them were there, Bune wouldn't have bothered.
　But when the two come together, the story is different.
　Because it... comes at the end of Bune's parents.
　parents sacrificed by a certain madman
　The madman needed sacrifices because of what could be called gem magic.

"...huh,"

　a low...but a muttering with a strong will
　When Ray heard the murmur, he spoke unabashedly, perhaps expecting Bune's reaction.
　Then, after understanding what Bune wants to say, he opens his mouth.

"Yes, the restoration magic contained in this gem is just as Bune thinks it is... except!"

　As expected, Bune tries to throw the long hand at Ray in a semi-reflective manner... a strong word from Ray's mouth stops the movement.

"Yes,"

　Ray was relieved to hear the murmur urging him to move on.
　Bune's attack is not difficult to avoid, even from a sitting position.
　But the fact that Bune stopped moving in Ray's words before such an incident meant that Bune had not yet completely lost his temper.
　Such a cautious attitude in a gem-magic matter is a sign that Bune is growing more than ever before.
　...however, in spite of his usual expressionless appearance, he now glares sternly at Ray as to see where his expression went.
　Ray opens his mouth to calm Bune down.

"Okay? First of all, the main premise is that the technique of sealing magic in this gem... is based on the technique developed by Pri."

　The word "pri" makes Bune's gaze even more severe.
　It's only natural that the names of their parents' direct enemies have come up.
　Still, Bune may be somewhat calm about not attacking reflexively, as I mentioned earlier.

"This technology, from Pri... no, was obtained and developed by the aristocrats of the Maaschel family, but it is safe to say that such acts as need to be sacrificed will not be tolerated."

　Rey's term for aristocratic nobility turns to Elena, but immediately turns to Rey and urges her to move on.
　The change from grim expression to serious expression may be due to the interruption of seeing Elena in between themselves.
　...or perhaps because Vihela stroked Bune's back so as to calm him down.

(In this way, it would be better not to mention Lemuria's name. . . . If you look at Bune's appearance, you may not pretend to go see Lemria in person.)

　Bune is a thief, but because of his character he is not good at gathering information.
　No, if you're good at collecting information by eavesdropping on people's stories, you're not good at collecting specific information.
　As long as you only say 'n', it may be natural.
　That being the case, it was Ray's judgment that it would be difficult to get to Lemuria's name without mentioning it here.
　However, if there was a Vihela who could understand what Bune meant, it might be another story.

"And is it true that the jewel does not require sacrifice?"

　Vichela asks Ray, not instead of Bune.

"I didn't see myself making this gem, but I heard that from the person who was given this gem."
"Well, then..."

　It would be meaningless if the person was lying.
　That's what Vihela says.
　Indeed, what Vihela says is not wrong, and it may have something to do with his poor impression of aristocratic nobility.
　Vichela has not forgotten that there are noblemen like Elena or Arra who have tried to sabotage the construction of Gillum.That being the case, it was only natural that Vihela's impression of the aristocracy would deteriorate.

"Don't worry. The man who made this jewel is not a liar. I can assure you that."

　Vichela... and Bune, though a little reluctant, agree with Elena, who knows Lemuria.

"That's why we try not to use sacrifices to contain magic in this gem. Specifically, this gem is one-time disposable."

　The gem magic Pri used in battle had repeatedly emitted magic from the same gem.
　There may have been times when Ray could actually use it, but from what he felt like when he was fighting, he seemed to be able to use magic a dozen times at least.
　In that sense, Ray's jewels on the table are clearly degraded in terms of performance.
　...however, it is only about the number of times of use, and it has great significance in that it does not require sacrifice.
　If it is launched on a large scale, the benefits will be especially great.
　If they were made with sacrifice, they would hardly be able to sell it that way, but if they could make jewelry magic without sacrifice, they would have had no problem selling it. ... It would have made me sick to know where the masterpiece of the technology came from and what it was like.

"...."

　After a few seconds of silence, Bune's mouth finally produces such a small voice.
　Ray's explanation may not have been entirely convincing.
　But he probably understood that he couldn't complain.
　In fact, if this gem were to be put up for sale, it would certainly be useful to adventurers... no, soldiers, knights, merchants, and many others.
　It's expensive because of the use of jewelry, and it's probably not easy to buy.

"Anyway... I've explained a lot about this, but this is a magic item that can use recovery magic right away. Take it."

　Say so, Ray puts a white gem in front of Marina, Vihela and Bune.
　Giving the jewel to Bune might in a way seem like harassment, but Bune is currently the least combatable of the Red Lotus wings led by Ray.
　It was also necessary to look into the enemy's situation in advance of his profession as a thief, and it was necessary for Bune to have a means of recovery.
　Of course I have a lot, but considering the size of the jewelry, it's no loss to have it.
　It's obvious that it's easier to use than a portion in times of need.

"...huh,"

　Maybe Bune knows this, but Ray picks up the jewel in front of him with a complex expression.
　His complex expression was even more expressive of Bune's inner feelings, as he was usually expressionless.
　And when Bune picks up the jewel, Marina and Vichela pick it up, too.

"Well, you're recovering. Can I said.

　Looking at Ray, Marina, who is in charge of recovery by the magic of water spirits on the wings of the Red Lotus.
　Ray nods back to Marina for granted.

"Marina's Spiritual Magic can recover, but it will take some time, right? It will recover immediately, though it will be impossible if it becomes fatal."
"I suppose. The magic you can feel from this gem is not so great."

　Jewelry magic is a very useful thing in the sense that it can still be activated immediately.

"Isn't this going to sell quite a bit if it's actually put up for sale?"
"I'm sure it'll sell,"

　Marina immediately responds to Vihela's words.

"Personally, it would be helpful if I could put my magic in a jewel that hasn't contained it."

　Of course, the greatest obstacle to magic is the recitation of spells.
　However, if magic can be contained, it means that magic can be used immediately without the use of spells.

"That sounds interesting... can you?"
"Well, I don't know. I hope we can do it in the future."

　That's what Vichela said.
