Returner’s Notepad Episode 130

What I hoped for (3)

[Sales volume of the new magic spell “Attribute Master: Four Sight Demons”… … ]

“Hehe… … .”

Balmain Mananoliji. Kanya is smiling softly while looking at the sales figures for the new product, “Fighting Demon.”

“Look, look~ A hit product has been released!”

A magic spell that has been clearly approved by Trick City’s patent office. Although it cannot be used by everyone due to its limited use, the hunter association is even requesting a supply contract.

If this trend continues, the expected annual sales will be between 10 and 15 million Ren per year. After deducting labor costs, material costs, distribution costs, etc., the net profit would be around 3 million Ren.

If you split 30% with the wizard, you are left with 2.1 million Ren, but this is the largest net profit among Balmain Mananoledge’s single business.

“Congratulations. “You don’t have to worry about the employees’ salaries.”

Gerken also said while looking at the paper. Maybe it’s because it’s vacation these days, but they come here often.

“Are you the boss? “I’m so worried about my employees’ salaries.”

Gerken shrugged his shoulders as Kanya chattered with a smile.

“This wizard named Dale Carl. “There are rumors that he is looking for work these days.”

“Ah, did you hear that too?”

“Because wizards in Area D are rare. “Rumors travel quickly.”

The areas of Trick City are strictly and thoroughly divided.

Area D, where Balmain is located, is on the outskirts of Trick City. It is close to the underworld, and the slums, harems, and back alleys are shabby, so it is not a good environment.

Compared to Area A, where Kanya lived in the past, it is no different from a garbage dump.

“I guess I’m in a hurry for money. But, is there a guy who works at a bar? Lato, that Area B wizard. He admitted it? “It seems real.”

Right now, people in Trick City’s District B regard those in the lower section as low-class people.

Among them, ‘Lato’ is a wizard who is especially infamous among people in the lower regions. After going to college in the capital, they came back and treated everyone from areas C to F like trash.

That’s why he recognized Area D’s ‘Dale Carl’ as a wizard.

“Surprising. People in the upper districts will also hate the capital residents.”

As Gerken said, the people in Areas B and A—that is, the upper class of Trick City—distinguish them from Edsilla.

Trick City is already a country in itself.

“I just hate it with words. Their children are studying abroad and they always send them to the capital. “Like that bitch.”

Kanya gritted her teeth. She always gets angry when talking about Raye.

Gerken raised his eyebrows and turned around.

“Goes.”

“Oh, go. Oh, if there’s anyone in the capital who needs our drinks, just let us know.”

“… … okay.”

A wizard from Area D who assists Kanya, who submitted a magical magic formula to Balmain Mana Knowledge.

Gerken quietly remembered the name ‘Dale Carl’.

School opening D-14.

I am packing my suitcase in the old Endex building. Roughly skin lotion, food, and clothes. Travel preparations are complete.

Grumble-

Then the window opened. I looked back. There was a cat with a wrapping cloth on its back.

It’s Growl.

As soon as he landed lightly inside the window, he proudly unpacked the bundle.

─Look~

I also took a quick look.

Two B-grade magic stones, a magic core the size of a thumbnail, a purple mineral gemstone that looks like an ordinary lump of dirt, and a 5-ren bill.

“Did you keep all the conditions?”

I put three conditions on his free time.

１. Don’t do anything that stands out too much.

２. Do not cause damage, such as stealing or taking property from people or organizations.

３. First of all, don’t eat it right away, but bring it with you.

─Yes. Of course~

The guy who answered poked the magic core.

─I want to eat now.

“eat. But where do you get this from?”

Ssssssssssssssss- Growl said as he ate the small magic core sparingly.

─Chukchuk- There are naturally occurring magic stones and magic cores here and there in the city. Tsk tsk – people can’t find it. Tsk tsk. But I can find it. I can smell the stones. Tsk tsk-

“What about this lump of dirt?”

He pointed to a purple lump of dirt.

─People call it ‘Gether.’ I brought it because I thought it was precious.

“… … Gather? this?”

My eyes opened without me knowing.

As the saying goes, ‘gather’ is a rare and unique metal. It is a ‘reactive cohesive parasitic metal’ that is rare even on the continent.

This gather is activated by applying it to another metal.

When gather is buried in metal, the metal is gathered while maintaining its original properties. Durability, hardness, strength, density, attack power, magic resistance, etc… … To use an analogy, all metal abilities increase by 1.

In this way, the gathers are piled up and added to the metal.

There are many metals that are superior to Gather, but the characteristic of Gather is that they overlap infinitely.

For example, even if 1 ton of getter is applied to 1 kg of metal, the weight and volume remain the same. This is because Gather itself is a magical substance that lives on metal.

Therefore, 1 ton of Gather is treated almost on the same level as ‘Dark Matter’, the strongest metal in theory.

The problem is that it is impossible to collect them.

“But how did you know this was ‘Gather’?”

Suddenly I feel suspicious. Gether is a scientific name given by humans. Therefore, it would be normal for Groul to know Gather’s properties but not its name.

─I saw the smartphone while the owner was sleeping.

“… … what?”

Groul jumped up. He sat in front of my smartphone.

Shashashak with the front foot – skillfully manipulated. Shashak – Shashak – From news to wikis and encyclopedias.

─I played with it all my free time. I like this.

“… … .”

For some reason, I charged it overnight, but the battery wasn’t full.

“Give it to me.”

I took the smartphone from him. The search history was diverse. There was even SNS.

“Why are you looking at SNS?”

─It’s about seeing the human world. Cognition after acquiring, grasping, assembling, and reconstructing information. understanding.

While I was already on SNS, I searched for an ID.

─Confirm. experience. Contrast between theory and practice.

■ Preparation

♥ 43,532

This is Elise’s most recent post. The black photo has only one word, ‘ready’, but the number of likes is quite high.

Are you ready for a trip?

─Master~

Groul came to my lap and looked up.

─Can you buy me a cell phone too?

The guy’s eyes sparkled. It was an artificial sparkle using the diffuse reflection of minerals.

“what.”

─I also need some free time~

“Sometimes survival is the only goal.”

─Survival is leisure~

“… … .”

It’s ridiculous, but if you see the results today, there’s no reason not to do it.

Gather.

I put it on the Askal sword. No special processing is required. Just add a little magic power and let it react, and the geter will wriggle on its own and seep into the treasured sword.

“This geter. “Can you collect 250kg?”

1 ton is too much. Because getter is a rare mineral. Even if we assume that we save as much as today (30g) for 365 days, we only end up with 11kg.

─For how many years~?

“Five years?”

─Then 20kg this year. 40kg next year. Can we expand it like this?

“Is it possible to do that?”

─Yes.

The corner of my mouth twitches slightly. It’s not that it’s not, because the specs of Askal’s sword are infinitely shabby compared to other swords. If you can strengthen it by wearing it, one of your concerns will be solved.

“… … hmm.”

Was the auction price of the 7th famous sword in the world that Solliet used right now at 30 million Ren?

In any case, a sword is as important as a life to a prosecutor.

Even a master who reached the extreme like Solliet paid a lot of attention to his sword. Because an ordinary sword couldn’t withstand her absolute sword.

“good. “Then I’ll buy you the most up-to-date one.”

─Yangnyangnyang~

Groul spun around in place as if he was happy.

──Same time.

Presium, the highest-end apartment in the capital city of Edsilla.

Elise is preparing for her trip.

It is a schedule that has been set out six months in advance. Even before she becomes a senior, she tells her mother and father that she will definitely go on a trip for this day – 7 nights and 8 days.

Thanks to you, I feel… … It’s the best of all the worst times these days.

Okay, let’s forget everything about the trip.

relaxation.

“then… … .”

Elise checked the supplies one last time before leaving.

“backpack.”

Although it looks like an ordinary crossbag, it is an artifact that can hold as much as 200kg of contents.

check.

“shoes.”

It is an artifact with a “Level 2 Comfort” enchantment added to prevent dead skin cells from drying out after walking for a long time.

check.

“Sunscreen. Emergency food. Emergency tent. muffler. Emergency lantern. Emergency flashlight. Emergency chocolate… … .”

In addition, various emergency shoes, emergency radios, etc. – I stuffed them all into my backpack.

“end.”

Travel preparations are complete.

Please note, this is a solo trip.

From the beginning, I had no intention of having a companion.

Because it’s both travel and training. Training to overcome aloneness.

… … Of course, doll cookies are included.

Anyway, it is not a difficult trip. Elise hates things like cruises, private jets, VVIP rooms on horse-powered trains, and flying hotels.

In fact, she has been using the subway and bus for a long time.

This is because I like places with a lot of people and full of human scent. ‘People’ themselves give you peace of mind, but these days, too many faces are being sold, so you just can’t ride them.

She put her hat down. Her sunglasses were also placed on the tip of her nose.

“then. I will be back.”

“““Please come back~”””

I came out, greeted by a house full of attendants, and took a waiting sedan to the train station.

“Have a nice trip.”

“Go in.”

Arriving at the train station and being greeted by the driver, I move my legs and go to the ticket booth at the station.

“Arahal, one way, please.”

─Same-day reservations are 1,300 Ren. Are you okay?

“yes.”

─Please give me your passport.

There is no advance reservation. I want to enjoy this kind of improvisation.

Elise presented her passport and card to the station attendant.

─Elise Fet… … la?

The station attendant’s eyes widened as she scanned the passport, and she just smiled bitterly.

─Here it is. Have a nice trip!

“is it so.”

The destination of this trip is a foreign country. In addition to being a famous resort, it is also a sacred place for magic and archeology. The capital of a country that college students aspiring to become wizards should definitely put on their bucket list.

The name of that place is… … .

[Decapo]

“arrive.”

Dicapo, the capital of the desert nation of Arahal. The birthplace of the five great civilizations of the old continent.

Elise secretly picked up her cell phone inside the station.

Selfies are a little embarrassing and seem like you’re showing off too much, so just use your feet.

click-!

I only took pictures of the two steps that entered the station. Then I quickly went outside and looked around at the desert landscape.

“… … oh.”

Admiration flowing through her teeth as she stood outside. Elasticity that makes your back tremble.

The sky is so blue that it seems to embrace everyone, and beneath the horizon is a sea of ​​sand that looks as if it were painted with paint.

This pure desert landscape always evokes great emotion in Elise.

She breathed in a certain sense of liberation.

“ha… … “Keck.”

The sand made me sneeze a little, but whatever.

Even Da Capo has solid infrastructure as it is the capital. It means that it is beautiful and convenient.

Elise picked a taxi waiting at the station.

“Please go to the Bamiltan Hotel.”

He spoke in the Arahal language he had previously learned. The taxi driver took off without saying a word.

We quickly arrived at the hotel while Elise was looking out the window.

“how much is this?”

“It’s 300 ren.”

The taxi driver pointed to the meter. 300,000 won. At the current exchange rate, it is 300 ren.

“?”

Elise tilted her head.

“Hmm. 150 ren-”

“It’s Arahal, but I guess Ren gets it too?”

The taxi driver who was trying to correct the price quietly changed the subject.

“Oh yeah. Anyway, whatever. It’s a neighboring country. Of course I accept it. haha. Even if you go to another market, you will still get Ren.”

“I think I exchanged money for no reason.”

Elise paid 300 ren. Because it’s written on the meter. The taxi driver smiled as he received the 300 ren.

“Good luck.”

As soon as I get off, a warm wind, almost like steam, envelops my entire body.

“… … hot.”

Elise looked up at the five-star [Bamiltan Hotel].

“still… … good.”

A proud smile appeared on her lips.
