　Ai uses a special magic stone called a spirit stone, which, like a magic weapon, produces a body from a magic stone when magical power is applied to it.

　The body is made of hardened bricks, which is not possible with ordinary magic stones.

　Therefore, even if you pour magic power into the magic circle engraved on a bracelet made of ordinary magic stone, an eye will not appear.

　However, the Eye is always connected to the existence of the Kaiser Valkyrie.

　Therefore, as long as the wearer wears the bracelet, the magic power of the person is automatically taken into the bracelet, and the wearer is always connected to the Eye.

　This allows the Eye to understand subtle differences in the quality of the magic power of the individual wearing the bracelet, and to locate that person as well.

　Because of this, the Eye is perfectly capable of using wall defense tactics.

　It is said that Ai will have complete knowledge of the money possessed by each individual, and that Ai will take care of the business transactions conducted by each individual.

　Perhaps, by using the bracelet, the transaction can be completed even if there is no money on the spot.

　This is convenient.

　When I returned to the Kingdom of the Sky before I was banished by Ars, I was given a bracelet and was told that there was a way to do so.

　I didn't have to do much shopping by myself, but I remembered that I had tried to use it for a test.

　Coins are quite heavy.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It is a hassle to pay silver or gold coins by yourself.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I think it would be helpful not to have to do that.

"But is it acceptable?　I feel like that's a way of doing things that only works because of the Celestial Kingdom. ......"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I think it's useful.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　To put it bluntly, I don't think you will have any trouble living there, do you?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　There will be work, of course, but there is no need to work to the limit.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　At least, there should be less of a need to work to the death in order to survive like in the smaller nations.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In short, there is room.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And who is responsible for this margin?

　The inhabitants of Vulcania accept the coinless trade initiated by Brother Ars because they are able to lead a stable life thanks to him.

　Even now, they do not have their own currency, but they use money from various countries.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The reason why merchants like the currencies of big countries is because of their credibility.

　I think they would not be convinced if we show them numbers controlled only by bracelets, without using gold or silver.

It is an assumption that the value of gold and silver coins is stable. In reality, no matter what precious metals are used, money is nothing but a false image. It is the same no matter what the medium of transaction is.

"Hmmm. If Ai says so, it may be so, but I still think it is not acceptable from a sensory point of view, isn't it?　I think many people would feel more grateful to have a pile of gold or silver coins in front of them."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I don't mean to deny that feeling. However, the value of money fluctuates. I am sure you are aware of that, Mr. Alphonse.

"...... crash is going to happen, is that what Ai is trying to say about the forecast?　Well, there's certainly that. It's an unusual situation where a single magical tool is worth more than several thousand gold coins."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Money without substance is not secure.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Many people think so.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Maybe I would have thought so, too, if I didn't have the example of the Kingdom of the Sky.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Ai doesn't seem to be trying to deny the feelings of those who think so.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But then again, if the money is real, it does not necessarily mean that they are secure.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　That's what Ai told me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And that's probably true.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Because of the unusual market of the price of magic tools.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The price of magic tools has gone up so much, but I am sure it will collapse soon.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The day may come when magical items that are sold for thousands of gold coins, or even higher, will suddenly become worthless.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　We have discussed this many times with Kristina and others.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But there was no mention of the value of money itself.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　This may be because they subconsciously assumed that gold coins are always valuable.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But to Ai, magical objects and gold coins are the same.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If the market price of magical tools were to plummet, the value of the coins used as money could be damaged.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Or, on the other hand, the value of the coins themselves may increase so much that they become unobtainable as many people try hard to get them.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In other words, there is no real safety in using gold or silver.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　So it is the same with invisible money that does not use gold or silver, which is an Ai-like way of thinking.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Well, it is true that it is a world of only numbers if we only look at it as information.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I don't understand.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But I think it is interesting to use the new function of the bracelet by taking advantage of the collapse of the market price of magic tools and the accompanying collapse of the value of money.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Probably, it would be difficult to make such a new attempt without such a big fluctuation.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Then, let's give it a try.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　After listening to Ai's talk, I realized that now was the perfect opportunity, so I instructed Ai to put together a plan for improving and utilizing the bracelet.
