194 Episode 194 "Selection of Hidden Treasures, Exploration Plan for" Ancient Elf Ruins ", and Maidens Vacation Great Operation".txt (1/2)

Then the mermaids, Sonia and Lumiere, explained the three treasures.

Pendant of the robe

It can be 'made to look' as if the wearer is wearing the clothing of their choice.

When the wearer wears this pendant, it appears to those around him or her as if the wearer is wearing the clothing he or she imagined. (A special field is formed, which can be touched. The field also has cloth-level protection.)

However, you cannot wear any clothing, including your underwear, while the pendant is forming your clothing.

(Because the field formed by the pendant interferes with the actual clothing.

Also, the wearer himself cannot see the clothes the pendant creates.

Legend has it that a ”mermaid who fell in love with a human prince” once used it to pretend to be human.

Bracelet of Food

You can determine if the target can be eaten or not.

When the bracelet is activated, the target's fish, plant, animal, and demon food availability, toxicity, and special effects are displayed.

It cannot target humans or sub-humans.

Mainly used by mermaids when they find their first seaweed or fish.

Ring of Life

You can see the surrounding water temperature and water current (temperature and air currents) visually.

High-temperature areas appear to be reddish and low-temperature areas appear to be blue.

The direction of movement of the water current is indicated by arrows.

The temperature of the water (temperature) around the wearer can be changed to the appropriate temperature. The maximum temperature is about the temperature of a hot bath. It's also a convenient tool that allows you to take a bath without having to leave your home.

Don't get lost. ...... All of them are very useful.

I'm not going to be able to buy any clothes with the ”Clothing Pendant”. I'm sure you'll be able to disguise yourself in your underwear at home, but only when you go out with the ”clothing pendant” to disguise your clothes. The cost of clothing can be reduced to the limit.

With the Ring of the Dwelling, you can live without heating in the winter.

We wouldn't need firewood to heat our bathrooms. I don't think it can be used in battle, but it's more than enough for life.

The Food Armband is also amazing. With this, you won't starve.

For example, even if you were pursued by the aristocrats of this country and had to live a life on the run, you would be able to repeatedly replenish your supply of food on the spot and escape to whatever extent you wanted. It's the ultimate survival item.

'By the way, where did you get this item?

It was a long time ago... and they say that our ancestors found it in a treasure chest in the ocean.

I knew it was an ancient item.

Maybe it was made by 'Earth Dragon Earthgulls'.

If that's the case, then similar items might be out there somewhere. For example - 'Ancient Elf City', for example.

The ancient elves and demons were skilled enough to create the system of 'Valley of the Mist'. It wouldn't be surprising if they were making items to help people's lives.

Let's go look for them after the rest of the day.

''So, which item would you like to make!

”Give me the 'food bracelet,'

I said.

I'd like to have all three. But it's also a mermaid's treasure.

”Oh, well, that's unexpected. Nagi-kun.

The bird-shaped golem (with Delilira-san) climbed onto my shoulder.

”Since you're the one, I thought I'd use the 'Ring of Dwelling' to make your room the right temperature and sleep soundly until noon...

I've been thinking about that, too.

Well, I didn't think you'd choose the 'robe pendant'.

Delilira cleared her throat and laughed.

That's right. It's too maniacal to pretend to be completely naked and clothed. If the effect wears off while you're using it, you can't just walk around carelessly. I'd rather respect the legendary Mermaid Princess who used it to visit her prince.

''The reason I chose the 'food bracelet' is simple. The other items are useless unless the wearer is by your side.

Oh, I see. I see.

As I said it, the golem with the saintly woman nodded in agreement.

''The other two items require the person wearing it to be near you. But the 'Food Armband' is different.

Yes. You can share your food information with others.

We have ”consciousness sharing and modification”.

For example, if I find a mushroom that I think is edible, I can send them information with a picture of the mushroom. Even though they are far away, everyone can use that information. It increases the chances of survival.

If you repeat this process, one day you will be able to create the ”Database of Edible Plants, Animals and Demons”.

When the time comes, you may be able to earn money with this information.

And then there's also the fact that you can't do anything unless you eat for now. You can't move if you're not hungry. I chose what I thought would be most useful for survival.

Hmm. I think you're right. That's Nagi, the bastard master.

...... I'm pretty confused.

It's important to eat.

Yeah.

Well, Delilira-san is a ghost, so she's never been hungry!

With that, the golem with the saintly woman threw out her chest.

It was ruined.

'Thank you. Sonia, Lumia. Can I have the 'food bracelet' then?

Come in! I'd be delighted.

With their tiny hands, they picked up a bracelet that had been placed on the rocks.

The food chain is made of blue coral-like material with a pearl-like substance stuck in the middle. Sonia and Lumiere held out the bracelet to me. I took the bracelet and put it on my right arm.

It's also a sign that you're a friend of the mermaid, so if you're ever in trouble near the ocean, just call out to me!

”'Mermaids want to be of service to our benefactors!

Thanks. Maybe I could get you some help one day.

I stroked Sonia and Lumia's hair.

They both look ticklish. The other mermaids are dancing on the rocks. They swim toward us, back to us, and leave their catches behind. It's really free-for-all.

...... Hmm.

I'm glad you brought the fish. Let's use the food chain.

”Activate,” is that correct?

I touched the bracelet and then looked at the fish on the rocky ground.

It looks like a flounder from the original world, with black horizontal stripes.

When you bring this into view...

The Calacto Hirahirauo

Predation: possible

Taste: delicious.

Special Effect: Every 10 fish you take will have a ”Blood Clearing +1” effect.

The letters appeared on the fish.

How do you know the name of the fish? The Calacto Flathead is edible and delicious, and if you eat 10 fish, your blood level will increase by '+1'.

How much blood is left in the tank?

Come on. - Come on.

It's ......, right?

I guess I'd better look at it as a reference opinion.

'Speaking of which, I brought you a specialty item...'

Sonia and Lumia raised their hands.

When she looked, she saw that the mermaid adults were coming from behind her. They all have something in their arms. They walked up to us and left it on the rocks.

The adults seem to have finally remembered that they want you to eat the Horned Serpent in season!

...... There's a story about that.

The ”Horned Serpent” is a specialty of the season and is very nutritious. Originally, I heard that mermaids and local fishermen traded for it, and the mermaids traded a lot of things.

I see, and now that the mermaids have returned to their homes, the Horned Serpent is available for purchase.

So, Aine. So, Aine, put it in your ”sister's treasure chest” of storage skills.

Yes, sir.

That's right. But first, I'll have to have the Armband to evaluate...

Shuffling. I can't help it.

The moment I said that, the five Horned Serpents disappeared.

It's because Aine put them in her sister's treasure box. In an instant.

I could see a little bit of text. It's predatory. The taste is.... cheerful.

I'm sorry. Yes. I put it away just as planned.

...... Yeah.

”Wow, we mustn't let it go bad. Aine is responsible for making sure it lasts for as long as possible, unless it's for immediate consumption. Okay?

Yeah. Yeah.

When it comes to cooking, Aine is the expert. She'll take care of it.

Aine's got this whole 'food bracelet' thing going on.

I took off my bracelet and offered it to Aine.

”Normally, Aine can use it as she pleases. I'll only give it back to you when you're doing research for your 'workless life'. This bracelet is a great way to determine if the food is tasty or not. Aine will be able to use it to help you with your shopping, right?

”...... naa kun

Huh?

Aine looks surprised.

I'm not saying anything crazy, right?

'The mermaid's treasure you just received is for Aine ......?

'It's Aine who's taking care of the kitchen for me. You're supposed to make my job as easy as possible, right?

Nay-kun.

”And if I have it, they'll judge it by 'taste' and 'freshness' and automatically stock up on the cheapest ingredients, so it's going to be the same ingredients 365 days a year.

”Nourishment is depleted!　I understand. Aine will take care of the treasure!

Aine hurriedly received the hidden treasure from my hand.

I was mainly fed by instant and cup noodles (noodle) in my former world.

I have a feeling that I'm going to be more efficient, shopping with the 'food armoire'. It's not good if the menu becomes a pattern, so we should leave this to Aine.

''So, about that 'Horned Serpent' you mentioned earlier.

It's predatory, tastes great, and makes me feel better when I eat it!

Aine looked at me with a serious look on her face.

Her face was bright red. There was sweat on her forehead. I was breathing hard.

I thought if I pushed any further into it, I'd collapse.

'I'm going to cook you a nice meal later!　Properly, I'm going to prove that it's an energizing food. So!

Okay, all right. I'm looking forward to it.

It's rare for Aine to get this desperate, but she must have her own reasons for doing so. I said I'd leave the kitchen to you. I'll leave it to you.

Well then, ladies and gentlemen, please come visit us again!

”'Mermaids are welcome everywhere in the sea. ────

And then we said goodbye to the mermaids.

Well then, Delilira, you're going back to the labyrinth!

Koto, koto, koto, koto.

Come visit us again!　Within a month!　Even if it's just for a week or less!

Waving to the saints and the golems on the road...

In the evening, we returned to the villa in the ”sanatorium mishurira”.

That night.

We talked about our future plans over dinner.

Our next objective was to explore the ”Ruins of Ancient Elves”.
