You said earlier that you also buy demonic materials, right?

Yes. If you have something to sell now, I'm happy to oblige.

　I'm not going to let the brave man buy you a drink all the time, so let me cash in my monster corpse here.

　I'm about to open the item box as usual, when I suddenly stopped to think about it.

"Nell, what is the deal with the item box among humans?

"The magic of 'storage'? Then it's something rare, but not particularly strange, because it can be used by the right person.

　I see. I'll feel free to use it.

　I'll create a chasm in the void and reach into it to find an affordable demon corpse.

　I'm going to leave behind some pretty strong ones that can only be defeated by teaming up with Lil and the meat is generally tasty. ...... That's right, I'll give you a few of them that I can defeat in one punch.

　You'll be able to take the corpse you've chosen from the crack in the void and bring it down to the designated location with a thud.

"Hey, hey ...... isn't that a horn tiger?

"That's a bloody bear over there!

"There's even a Marmodortis!

　A few people who seemed to have been watching us for some reason let out a cry of surprise, and those who responded to the voice let out the same cry of surprise as well, turning to me.

　Before long, most of the people in the hall turned to look at you with an exclamation of "Oh ......".

Phew ......

　I crossed my arms and smiled in front of them.

　Wow, that feels good.

　How about it, ordinary people. This is the great disparity of power.

　hahahahahahahaha.

Yuki. Just get it over with.

...... Hey Leffi. I was just in a good mood. I was just in a good mood.

All right, all right, whatever you have to do, just get it over with. I'm bored here.

　I was in a good mood when Reffi interrupted me, and reluctantly I urged the lady at the reception desk, who was frozen in place with her eyes wide open, to proceed with the exchange.

I'll be waiting for you. Here's the price.

Ditto.

Well, we look forward to seeing you again.

　We left the guild hall with a woman who was bowing to us.

"See, Nell,

"Huh? -- and oh, no!

　As soon as we left the building, I immediately divided the money I received into two parts, one in the item box and the other in the bag I received and tossed it to the brave man.

This is ......?

"Rice Money on the Way

"What? You can't give me this much!

　A brave man looks twice inside the bag and then exclaims in surprise.

I don't have that much money, but I don't have any use for it. Well, since he taught me so much, I'll just use it as payment for that.

"I don't want to? Really? I'll ask you to return it later, but I won't, okay?

"Don't tell me.

　When you say so, the brave man begins to wonder what to do with the bag, awash in fear.

　This brave man has a very common sense of money. If we had strength like this, we could easily defeat the demons I defeated. Have you ever struggled with money?

Hey, more importantly, Nell. What's this?

　I said and pointed to the pattern on the card she got from the Adventurer's Guild.

That one? It's a ripple of personal magic. It's called a "magic crest" or something like that. It's always different in shape for each person, so it's identifiable to the individual. Hey, let's hear the magic flow.

　You'll be able to get a good deal more information on how to get a good deal more information on the subject.

I'm sure you'll be able to find out if you've got a fake ID card or something like that because it doesn't glow when someone else does.

"Well, it's done well: ...... but what if it's a non-magical one?

"?　What are you talking about? What kind of person doesn't have magic powers? There are people who can't circulate their magic well, but they are given a special ID card.

　It's a brave man who says that with a curious expression.

　I'm sure you'll be happy to know that I'm not the only one.

　I'm sure you'll find that the system is even stronger than I thought. I was a bit underestimated.

　I was impressed, but I heard that this system is still in place only in this city, and the rest of the world has a more lazy management system.

　I met the lord of this town once before and he was actually quite good at it.

Also, does the shape of the pattern mean something to you?

It's said to represent a person's specialty in magic. But I don't have a clear picture of it, I'm just saying I don't know what it is yet.

　It's true that the magic I'm best at is water-based. It is no wonder that this pattern is somehow reminiscent of water or rivers.

　...... All right, from now on, the objects I create in Weaponry Training will be engraved with this pattern. I kind of like this pattern.

What did you have engraved on your body?



Me? Here.

　Then she pulled a card out of her clothing pocket and showed it to me.

"This is ...... fire, huh?

Hmm. You don't get to see much, but I'm sure I'm best with fire.

"Huh? You're right. I haven't seen much of that.

"...... fire is not very versatile. It only burns. And since your aptitude was biased towards water and earth, I thought it would be better to teach you other magic, so I didn't use it much.

　A glimpse of bitterness appears on the face of Refi.

　...... something to think about.

But I think it's just plain cool, fire. It's a good fit for you. It's like a woman of compassion.

"Really?

Yeah. Your fire is going to be warm.

　When I said that, she laughed with a slight lift of one cheek and laughed, "Phew ......" and closed the distance between us by one step.
