Vol 1 Chapter 10 (1/2)

Fujiwara stifled a yawn

After drinking coffee, his head was much clearer

He was eager to fix his tarnished i asleep in front of Aneirls

“Well”

The Appraisal was done quickly

Unfortunately, ht back were scrap iron with no better than bastardized as the quality at the very best

Most were corroded or broken by the dissolving sli them as “Useless”

Of the respectable ite sword, one leather buckler, and three short swords

The quality is decent, and everything is “Off The Mark”

Of course since at this store they didn’t handle the weapons and only wrote up the certificates, there is a possibility that it could be bought for a high price at a weapons store

“After that… This”

The last item was left alone on the counter

It was a small barrette

It was mostly unhurt because it wasn’t metal, and Soarer had placed it in the bottoht it was valuable and had just picked it up, somehow

Fujiwara picked it up, observing it

The g’, which wasn’t too uncommon

A stunning design was cut across its cross-section, on the Barrette

In the center it had of the egg-sized white agate, there were six semicircles of black onyx enshrined, and a red Sardonyx was cut on the thin edge (tl: It’s a thin red stone which is a variant of onyx Both have white lines going across them To be clear, they mean the barrette hairclip, not the French hat)

When Fujiwara fed the Barrette ic, the expected reaction occurred Fine blue lines ran across the surface, running and spreading until it forured

“Hmm”

Undoubtedly, it was a Granting Tool

“Oh dear child with the beloved hair, offer nine long chestnut hairs while rubbing this- The world will beco, like a petal of Aphrodite’s Orchid” (tl:uploadwiki/1024px-Boholflora7jpg)

Fujiwara deciphered thetheir contents

Of course, it had the three main clauses

“Qualification”, the ability to use the Tool “Price”, the cost paid to activate it “Coic phenomenon it creates

The qualification was “Oh dear child with the beloved hair”, which was in this case a hairstyle of girls who had just gone through a rite of passage This likelywomen can use it, but it’d be nice if anyone could

The “Price” was 9 chestnut hairs To co Tools activation, soic inside a strand of hair was thirty to one drop of blood, but the issue is you can’t use it after it’sTools have adverse effects on hair, such asit white The “Chestnut” was very important The other condition here is that the hair must be Chestnut to be offered, so if you don’t have it, it can’t be used

Finally, the “Co this- The world will beco, like a petal of Aphrodite’s Orchid” This request to the world is odd, but Fujiwara could understand that it’s ical Barrier Magical Barriers is are like physical walls, but they are invisible to the naked eye

Its strength was denoted by “petal of Aphrodite’s Orchid” Thick Fairy Orchid petals can be used as bedding due to its softness, but it’s not stronger than a steel helmet even when layered and hardened

Perhaps this was made by a parent for their child

Worried that they couldn’t protect their own body, they left this to wear so they wouldn’t get injured To be honest, this effect wasn’t very strong But, it ht be able to protect from a certain level of monster attacks

However, the nonexistent weight of this arhtness of their equipreat iteood for a Magician when the aic they can use is limited

Now, since it’s a Granting Tool, it will also be worth a large sum of money

After all, when any Giving Tool is present, novice investigators would crave after them

It’s not good to depend on them, but this could be called excellent loot, suitable to be acquired on the fifth floor of the Dungeon

“That was a fair amount of money”

“Bad quality sword, it’s good we could sell it”

Several accessories were at a price over Mr Manager’s Appraisal The scrap iron dissolved was also taken back and sold It can be reused, so traders and sood income

After Linne and Soarer went to “The Good Old Magician’s Shop”, they went to the shopping mall at the center of the city

They went et back their consumable supply

Soarer needed to buy a variety for the next Exploration

She wanted healing potions, more herbs, and hopefully more supplies like painkiller She also wantedwith a taste

“It’s OK, though”

She had et some lee-way in their income

Even if they bought things with higher quality than expected, it would be no problem

But, there was one problem

“Sure you don’t want this one, this one?”

Linne confirmed it for the umpteenth ti

What was so intolerable was the item in her hand A Barrette with a sain declined it Linne said “Even if Magicians can wear it, it’s a loss if it isn’t sold after all”

“It’s through Linne that I even arrived at the sixth floor”

“But, you can’t get through the third floor on your own, only with me And didn’t Soarer knock down all the other monsters?”

It was not just a Barrette, but instead the Granting Tool, “Defense Barrette”

If it was sold, it would make quite a lot of income, especially with its appearance
