Chapter 39 – Magic City (2)
*
The road to the magic city was peaceful. Also expensive is different. With a little bit of exaggeration, it’s comfort like being burned by a baby Bulma.
Our regressor Lina is looking out the window today as well. I love to look at the scenery.
Apart from Lina, even Victoria and Natasha are in the Cold War, not the Cold War, so the inside of the carriage is quiet.
The only person who is comfortable here is about a halmanggu. I doze well alone.
“Aren’t you too attached?”
“What? Me? What does it matter that I will stick by your side?”
“I heard that it’s not even the real West…”
“!”
Natasha glares at me. I hurriedly averted my gaze. I was just telling the truth
“…You will soon become a real Westerner.”
“!”
At those words, Victoria’s pupils shook. He looks at me as if asking for an explanation.
“… Natasha. I told you I have no intention of getting married yet.”
“They said they would marry me if I got pregnant!”
“You weren’t pregnant. I don’t even call my stomach…What.”
“West. It’s too much. Whoa!”
In the end, Natasha bursts into tears. But you can’t even say you’re getting married here.
Victoria looked at him and smiled vigorously.
At that time, Lina was staring blankly at the window and threw a word.
“Natasha-sama…”
“Why? Whip…”
Recently, Natasha and Lina have been getting along.
Because Natasha realized that Lina had no rational interest in me.
Of course, because of Lina’s beautiful appearance, I was a little wary.
“Do you really have no memory of that time?”
“At that time… Is that the story again? I told you not to talk about it because it’s embarrassing…Sniff…”
I was talking about when Natasha ran out of control. Lina was still dumbfounded when she thought of that time.
No one could stop Natasha’s runaway in her previous life. I didn’t listen to anyone, and the runaway continued until I saw blood.
If no blood was seen, the runaway would continue for a day or two and then subside.
“I don’t remember… How did you recognize Kerry when you’re unconscious?”
“I don’t know. It’s not because I didn’t know. But I think I can see why it was possible.”
“For what reason?”
“Power of love. My love for the West made a miracle.”
“…”
Lina turned her head back to the window as if she had heard an absurd story.
But the current situation is not bad.
It was because she was able to control the runaway, which could be said to be Natasha’s fatal flaw.
To be able to control Natasha’s powerful power that she gains instead of losing her reason.
That was really awesome.
Lina looked at Kerry intently.
Everything was going well because Kerry was there. To Lina, Kerry was the goddess of luck, no, the god of luck.
“Kerry.”
“Yes. Lina.”
“If it’s okay, I have a request.”
“Please speak.”
“I would like to ask for Natasha-sama’s training. Of course, it’s a story when Natasha-sama is okay too, but…”
“Training?”
“Yes. Natasha’s power is unstable right now. The power that comes out when you’re excited is powerful, but it’s very dangerous when you’re out of control like last time.”
“Then, at that time, Seobang-nim can take care of me again! Like this time.”
“That’s true… But the problem is, I don’t know if this time is a coincidence or not…”
“It’s no coincidence! The power of love is certain!”
“Also, depending on the level of excitement, Kerry-sama may not recognize you and attack you.”
“It will never happen! West, believe me.”
I think I know what Lina wants to say. She wants to control Natasha’s uncontrollable power, Lina.
Well, if it was Natasha’s ability, it seemed like she would have had a lot of trouble from her former colleague Lina’s point of view.
“I understand what Lina wants to say. So. You mean she wants to get rid of Natasha’s unstable elements.”
“Yes. You’re right. Just because Kerry was able to stop Natasha once, there is no guarantee that she will be able to stop her the next time. She thinks it’s meaningful just to distinguish what can and can’ts be done in advance.”
“In preparation for the real battle, let’s experience one more runaway in advance, right?”
“And it’s still hypothetical…If Natasha-sama, who is in a runaway state, can move and attack enemies at will, it will be of great help to our journey.”
Lina doesn’t stop at stopping Natasha from running out of control, it seems she has plans to use it aggressively.
Not a bad idea.
“So…If you two don’t mind, why don’t you force Natasha-sama into a runaway state and train in that state…I suggested it.”
“I will! You can’t harm others every time you go crazy like this.”
“If it helps Natasha, then I’m happy too.”
“It is decided. As for training, we’ll look at the schedule and coordinate it when we arrive at the magic city.”
And the next day, they arrived at the magical city of Billen.
Billen is a neutral country with developed magic, and it was a splendid city worthy of the name of a magical city.
Shops and buildings can be seen floating on the artificial ground. It’s made of floating stone.
‘Looks like you’re coming to a magical city you’ve only heard about… A place where men’s romance lives on!’
Other members of the party are also curious as they stick their heads out of the wagon.
It was easy to enter the magic city thanks to Victoria’s identity and pass.
Victoria needs to stay away from her group for a while, she said.
“I’d like to see the Magic City together…But I have to go say hello to the high-ranking person here. That’s the custom of nobles who come and go in magic cities…”
At that time, Lina also spoke.
“I have something to investigate.”
A workaholic regressor.
The old woman said that his knees were not good because he was old, and that he would rest first at an inn.
As a result, only Natasha and Kerry were allowed to visit the magic city.
“Wow… Mr. West.”
“What’s wrong? Natasha.”
“That… Come to think of it…”
“?”
“I think it’s the first time I’ve been touring the city alone with Mr. Seo.”
Come to think of it, it really was.
Even though time had passed since they were saved from the bandits, the two of them hadn’t even gone on a date. Still, they call it the West.
“Hehe. Good night. Date! Date!”
Natasha seemed excited about the date, but Kerry actually had something to do.
Magic Storage Orb.
Tourism was what Kerry expected from the Magic City, but her expectations were higher for her Magic Storage Orbs.
I’d like to get as many marbles as possible.
There are many stores selling magic tools in the magic city, so I didn’t know if I could get magic storage beads.
I wanted to separate Natasha and look for her alone, but she is not in the mood to fall easily.
It was her first date, and she was on the verge of crying in the street, so she had no choice but to take Natasha with her.
Natasha is on my side anyway.
“West. Isn’t that the magic tool shop over there?”
Since it was our first visit to the magical city, we didn’t even know where the magic tool shop was, so we went around looking for it.
In the meantime, I finally found it. I mean the magic tool shop.
“I guess that’s right. Natasha.”
“Right? Right? Praise me.”
“Yes. Yes. Well done. Natasha.”
“Wow… I don’t have sex… It’s too much.”
Kerry and Natasha entered the magic tool shop.
It was a bit old-fashioned, but there were many strange-looking items that I couldn’t even recognize.
They all look like magic tools.
Her elderly grandmother appeared with her cane.
“What did you come to buy? Cute guests.”
Natasha’s cheeks went red when she said she was cute, and it felt like she liked it, but I hate to say she’s cute.
“… Do you also handle magic storage beads here?”
“A magic storage marble?”
“Yes.”
“…”
Why is your face like that? Did you ask anything I couldn’t ask?
The store owner, the grandmother, frowns strangely. And then she scattered us up and down.
“Do you know what that is?”
“Is there anyone who buys something without knowing what it is?”
“There are a lot of idiots like that. Because half of the magic tool buyers in the magic city are caught with absurd items. Giggle.”
Kerry couldn’t help it and pulled her magic storage orb from her pocket.
“This one. I’m asking if there is something similar to this. Are you done now?”
“!”
Her hag looked at her beads and stretched out her hand tremblingly.
“Can you…Can you show me more about that? Are they really magic storage marbles?”
“…”
It is like looking at a precious treasure. Feeling like My Precious from The Lord of the Rings?
Was it that precious?
She was told by the White Witch that she is the lowest among magic storage orbs.
She gave her marbles to her grandmother, as she didn’t mind showing them.
“Ohh…This is genuine. I hope you will see this Where did you get this from?”
“I picked it up.”
“…Don’t play around.”
It’s real. I picked up what the bandit dropped after he died.
“What. It doesn’t really matter if you don’t want to tell me. Just seeing this today makes me feel good enough.”
“… I don’t think there are magic storage orbs here?”
“…Bachelor, you don’t know anything. This is a treasure It is a bead that only the white witch, the legendary great wizard from a hundred years ago, could make.
A hundred years ago, I heard that the followers had quite a few marbles… But it’s been a hundred years since it’s hard to see them anymore.”
The White Witch is also great. I pout well.
“Will you sell this?”
“I don’t sell. Give it to me.”
“I’m sorry. You don’t have to sell it, so let me just look around a little more.”
It was unexpected. It seems that this is more valuable than you think.
I thought there might be marbles rolling around like antiques in the magic city, but it wasn’t.
I haven’t been able to make marbles for a hundred years, and the gentlemen of the Mage Tower don’t know what to do.
It was then. The old woman smiled and said.
“In fact, one of my ancestors once put a magic storage orb in his hand.”
“…Okay?”
“So I have one marble too. I will return this instead, I will show you mine.”
That was when her grandmother disappeared inside and reappeared.
I see a bead with a brilliant light. It is quite similar to my marble, but its light is brighter and more mysterious.
“This…”
“This is also a magic storage marble. Mine look better than yours, don’t they? It’s something my ancestors obtained after defeating the followers of the White Witch.”
It is probably a higher order marble than mine. I want this!
I heard from the White Witch that the better the orb, the higher magic she can store.
“I will buy beads.”
“I don’t sell this.”
“I have a lot of money.”
I set aside an emergency fund to use at times like these. The money he had stolen from selling holy water and the monster grandfather’s treasure were all converted into money.
“This is our family heirloom. There’s no way you can sell it for money, right?”
“…”
I see her grandmother’s stubborn expression. It seems they really don’t want to sell. Can’t help it
Then her grandmother looked at me and said.
“…A bachelor is an adventurer, right? Considering that he has a lot of money, he is quite a skilled adventurer. Right?”
I don’t know my skills yet, but let’s assume that.
“Once it is,”
“Then do you take personal requests? If you accept my request, I won’t be able to give you a marble…”
It seems that things are going better than expected.
