Chapter title: Ethereal Carriage

「This is the store for magic tools.」

Russell led me to a store on the main street, near the center of the city.

The streets here were neat and tidy, and we only saw people who looked like they were rich.

Horse-drawn carriages were the usual means of transportation, and there was a large area in front of the store where horse-drawn carriages could be parked.

「It’s a very expensive looking store.」

I was overwhelmed by the store’s structure. The entrance was a polished marble staircase with a red carpet.

The door is left open, seemingly unguarded, but…….

『It has a barrier.』

Marie tells me.

(Don’t break this one, okay?)

I sneakily tell Marie…….

『I understand. There’s no one around observing master, so you can shop in peace.』

After listening to Marie, Russell and I walked into the store.

「Can I hlep you with something, sir?」

As soon as I entered the store, a store employee approached me. I nodded once and…….

「I’m looking for an Ethereal Carriage, do you have them?」

「Yes, we do. But…」

The employee looked very uncomfortable.

「Can you show me what you have?」

I said, and let the employee lead the way.

「This is the Ethereal Carriage that we have.」

In a space in the middle of the back of the store, there was a model of a horse and a carriage with a bed.

This is a magical tool called Ethereal Carriage, which allows you to move around by having a magic-powered horse pull the back of the carriage.

It is powered by magic power, and can be moved by accumulating magic power in the magic stone built into the tool.

When not in use, it can be stored back in the state of a bracelet, making it popular among nobles and high-ranked adventurers.

I’ve always admired these ethereal carriages when I saw them running around town.

When I saw the elaborate horse and the cart that looked like it could carry a large amount of cargo, I stared at that ethereal carriage…….

「How much will it cost?」

I’m going to head to the Lost Forest, but it’s going to take me a while to get there on foot like I did when I first arrived. I decided to buy an ethereal carriage as I thought it was necessary since Alicia will come aswell.

「Yes. It will be 200 million bir.」

「T, two hundreed million!?」

Russell-san, who was watching next to me, was surprised as if he had been pulled back to reality. As expected of a popular magic tool. It’s a tremendous price.

「If it was a normal carriage, one million birr would be enough…….」

「Unlike a normal carriage, this one can change it’s appareance, and unlike a real horse, it doesn’t get tired and doesn’t need to be fed. More importantly, the only way to obtain them is with a dungeon drop.」

The employee was right. You need magic power, but if you can replenish it, you can travel all day long. This must be a big advantage when traveling.

「But I don’t have that much money…..」

It seems that Russell’s pockets are flush with money from the soldier’s contract, but even if he had savings from his previous work as an adventurer, he wouldn’t have 200 million Birr.

「Elt. Isn’t it possible?」

It’s true that I don’t have enough on hand at all. I’ve been working as an adventurer for a short time, and I’ve already given Alicia the reward for defeating the Arc Demon.

The employee looked at me with an expression that seemed to say, “That’s why I was going to tell you.”

I guess from the way I look, they have no idea that I have 200 million dollars in my pocket.

「Does this store buy anything?」

I can buy as much as I want if I get a temple card from the temple, but I want it now. I checked with an employee at…….

「We do buy other catalysts, such as jewelry and precious metals.」

The employee looks at me as if he wants to say something, but I look like a normal adventurer right now, and he seems to be wondering if he should say something so as not to make the customers uncomfortable.

「Excuse me, may I borrow that table over there?」

「Y, yes. Go ahead.」

I stand in front of the table despite the confused employee……

――Kotori――

I hear the sound of hard substances being placed on the table.

I put a few rings and necklaces on the table.

「Th, this is…… a beautiful piece of jewelry.」

The employee gazes in fascination at them as they shine in the light.

「Y, you….. Where on earth did you get this jewelry?」

This is a piece of jewelry that I found behind the evil god’s throne. It seems that the evil god has been collecting them and they must be worth a lot of money.

「There is no doubt about it. These are all first-class gems,」

The employee who picked up the jewels appraised them with a keen eye. Satisfied, I began to speak.

「I’d like to buy an ethereal carriage from you, is that possible?」

This way, I wouldn’t have to deal with selling them. I’m sure they’ll take some of the profit, but that’s because it involves a lot of work on the store’s part.

「I, I’ll get the owner right away.」

The employee hurriedly ran to the back of the store, as if the evil god’s jewels was of great value.
