8 CHAPTER VI SHOPPING FOR THE FIRST TIME (2/2)

I don't want you to get lost. Never leave Sebastian's side.

Okay, Mom.

Master Kara, don't worry. I'll stay with you and make sure you're safe.

You'll be safe with me. Have a good day.

When I walked outside, I saw a long shopping street with many people.

As a hot spring town for the heroes, this town has become the base for both tourists and high-level adventurers who challenge the Devil's Forest. There are also people who come here to buy the precious materials found in the Devil's Forest.

Huh. I didn't know the Forest of Evil was so awesome.

''Yes, the only ones who have been able to go deeper are the heroes, and this is a place where even adventurers of the A level and above can't make it back alive in the shallow end.

Then why do adventurers challenge it?

That's because you get a lot of expensive material that you can play with and live with for the rest of your life.

'So you're going to try to win a lot of money: .... Sebastian, I want to go to a store that sells materials from this town.

'Are you interested in what you just said? All right, let's go.

Yeah, I'm intrigued. (I could use some creative magic.)

Then we walked around the shopping district for a while.

This is the mill.

Sebastian pointed to a store that had many kinds of animal skins and plant leaves, as well as large magic stones and magic stones of various colors in the back .

''Welcome . What can I do for you today?

As soon as I walked in, the clerk spoke to me.

'This girl is interested in the material and I'm here to show you what we have.

Yeah. Well, please take your time.

Then we'll take a look at them in turn and appraise the ones that caught our attention.

＜Red ogre skin.

Excellent fire resistance

Highly durable.

＜Manticore skin.

Durable yet light

It's easy for magic to pass through.

＜Cyclops' skin.

Very sturdy and tear resistant

＜Elder Trent's Branch.

Excellent magic penetration.

It's good for the medicine.

＜The fangs of a wyvern.

It's very hard and has a very sharp tip.

＜Mithril.

Easy to process and great at penetrating magic.

They're all amazing, but Mithril caught my eye.

Sir, this is Mithril. Mithril can be obtained by defeating the Mithril Golem in the dungeon.

How much does this cost?

''Well... . The Mithril Golem is a monster found at the far end of the dungeon, so it's expensive.... That's five white gold coins a kilo.

Oh, that's expensive. How much would you get for this, by the way?

After saying that, I showed the clerk the magic stone that I had been secretly storing up.

''This is a great magic stone: .... Who put the magic in it?

It was me. I poured my magic into it every day.

'Oh, that's a wonderful amount of magic: .... Let's see. This magical stone is classified as a top grade magical stone.

Master Leo is very good! I didn't know that the magic stone I gave you that day could be made into something so magnificent: .... I'm thrilled.

Sebastian said, and held his eyes with a handkerchief.

''So .... As for the price of this magic stone, how about ten white gold coins?

Is it really that expensive?

''Yes, it's not easy to see magic stones with this much magical power, so I'm selling it to you at ....

It's up for sale. I'll also buy a kilo of mithril, so you can deduct the money from the purchase price.

Okay. Okay, a kilo of mithril and five white gold pieces.

Okay. Well, thank you very much.

Thank you, too.

I'm out of the store.

Master Leo, what are you going to do about Mithril?

I'll use it to practice my creative magic.

It's great that you're doing this for a living.

(But why would they use mithril to practice creation magic?)

Actually, people in this world don't know that materials can be used for creation magic.

Leo just happened to have a copy of the appraisal, which he was lucky enough to get to know.

That night.

I hung the mithril I bought today for now and looked at it in my room .

Yesterday I was amazed at $800,000 and today alone I got $10,000,000 and $10,000,000 in precious metals: ....

He is a rich man at the age of 5.

A normal child would be crazy for the rest of his or her life.

Well, no normal kid would ever get this much money .....

Conn.

Huh? What's going on at this hour?

Leo, we're coming in.

And then my dad walked in.

You sure about that?

What's more rare than seeing your father in my room.

Hey, what's going on?

After all, you can't be a kid and have that much money: ....

'The emperor is arriving tomorrow, so give him my regards.

Huh? Apparently, it's a different thing .

Well, the emperor is already coming: ....

”Huh, okay.

It looks like we'll be experimenting with creation magic using Mithril some other time.

Oh well, all right, I hear the princess is pretty.

It doesn't matter!

Oh, you're more responsive than I expected. Well, I'll say hi!

Dad said and walked out of the room.

Ha, I wonder what's going to happen: ....

With that in mind, I went to bed early for tomorrow.
