35 Episode 34 Crabs and Spiders (2/2)

I'm not going to be asked to be a slave master. But it doesn't seem like a sales pitch.

”I was sold by a slaver and was being transported to Tubai, but on the shortcut, the wagon was attacked by that demon and the slaver died. And since you killed the demon, my ownership will be transferred to you.

Mm-hmm. I see. What was taken by the thief belongs to the one who killed the thief. So it's the same with demons.

Yeah... What should I do? I don't want to use the slaves, so I'll just sell them.

No, I'll wait and see if I can use them. I don't know much about this world, and if I'm going to continue using Earth knowledge for business, I'm going to need people.

I want to have as many reliable people as possible. I have a lot of money, so it's not a problem. In short, if you can use it, there is no reason to refuse.

Okay, trial period!

”Trial period, huh?

”Yeah, I'm an adventurer, as I said before, and I'm not going to take a slow learner with me. So I'm going to start today and see if I can be useful before I leave this town, so what can you do for me?

”Well, ......, I can make magic tools, .......

I'll see if I can be useful before I leave town.

I have knowledge of...

...... Knowledge?

...... Does knowledge mean you can't use it?

”...... Yes, it does.

That's no good.

Why do you remember all this if you can't use it?

It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're going to be doing and how you're going to do it. However, I never learned to use magic until now, and finally I was sold as a slave.

That's a pretty bad past. It's hard to sell them off when they're not going to be of any use to you.

Can you make magic tools if you can't use magic?

I'm not sure what to do, but I'm sure you'll be able to figure it out.

Can't I just practice on the magic stone?

It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for and what you can do to help. There is a quantity of ......”.

Hmm ......

So it's not good because it's hard for magic to pass through. I think there's a way to fix it. I think I'm forgetting something.

I looked through the contents of the item box, and found out what I forgot.

A wisp core. It's supposed to be a good conductor of magic.

”Can you try practicing with this?

I handed her the wisp core. Catherine takes it with a dubious look on her face.

”Kuro Demon Stone ...... What's this?　The only black magic stone I know of is the wisp magic stone.

”The Wisp Massive Stone.

There's no such thing here. Besides, the wisp magic stone is very easy to pass magic power through, you know?　I'm sure even I can pass magic through the wisp magic stone. But this magic stone still can't pass magic .......

Catherine froze when he said that much.

”...... came through.

Can we use it for practice?

”Maybe. If it's a wisp magic stone, it's a huge waste of money.

I've heard that wisp cores can be recharged many times. They don't consume anything.

You can practice with it, but I'm going back to town for now, if that's okay.

I'm not sure what to make of this. ...

I'm just an E rank adventurer, okay?　I'll take that for now.

Maybe not just any adventurer, but... He takes the Wisp Core and puts it in his item box.

I feel like he's getting weirder and weirder. It's always better when the master is strong. ......

Please don't tell me who you are. I'm not pretending.

On the way home, I did an evaluation of Catherine.

Inactive Magic Power Unique/Rank 3

Description: Makes the magic power in your body inactive.

The activity of the magic power is significantly reduced, but the maximum magic power is increased.

Thinking that this might be the reason why I couldn't use magic, I walked through the forest at Catherine's pace.

It took quite a while, but the town finally came into view.
