The 19th Story: Magic Wand
I left the shop, withdrew the money from the adventurer guild and bought the short magic wand from the granny at the magic shop.
"By the way, why are you trying to sell this so cheaply?"
I asked still unconvinced.
"So you still doubt, I absolutely guarantee the performance. I get frustrated every time I see it. It is a prototype, but I was planning on selling it soon, and I thought I would be filthy rich, but I was wrong"
"Hmmm, okay. I will return it if it doesn't work!"
"Ok, I promise you, you won't regret it"
The granny said full of confidence.
"By the way, I didn't see the store's name"
"It is magic shop's Rerisu, my name is Rerisu"
I felt a big gap between the shop's name and the witch's appearance, but it can be tolerated.
I also buy a leather sheath that can be hung on my waist to carry the magic wand and left the store.
When I left the store, it was evening.
There were plenty of shops I still wanted to see, but the dinner made with buffalo meat that I brought yesterday should be ready, so I should return to the inn.
When I got back to the inn, it was around 9 in the evening.
Today, the cafeteria's 1st floor was full, and the father, woman and a part-time lady were working bustlingly.
"Oh, welcome back. Because there isn't any free seat, why don't you eat in your room, I will take it there soon"
"Thank you, I will be waiting in the room"
After that, I just climbed the stairs and waited for the buffalo set meal, which I was looking forward to.
"Hmm, well"
Meat on a small pan making it look like a mountain.
Mashed potatoes with peppers and boiled broccoli, and soup that looks like Chinese chicken soup.
The meat is soaked in soy sauce, the garlic and ginger taste spread into the meat, and when I eat a small amount of meat with some mustard it tastes great.
In a blink of an eye I finish eating.
Honestly, it is a western-like world, but there are Chinese elements to the food culture, and there are j.a.panese elements, so, where is this place? It feels weird in many ways??? I feel like that, but whatever.
I suddenly became sleepy after filling my stomach was full. It is still 10 in the evening, but soon after I lay down on the fluffy bed I fell asleep.
I wake up around 7 in the morning and have breakfast at the 1st floor. And now I am at my room.
For the time being, I will check the cane I bought yesterday.
There is the small cane I bought, with its eerie atmosphere that goes accord with the witch and that weird shop.
"This kind of stick is worth 800,000…?"
To be honest, I feel like I was scammed.
Well, I first waited to test it, so it's good.
In order to understand the performance I should cast a simple magic.
"Oh… It was easy!"
The water ball created by water shot is floating in the air.
I keep the water ball as it is, and washed my face as it is. [1]
"Pasha!"
When I stop the magic, the water scatters in the wooden bucket.
I did the same twice, thrice, and by the time I should faint with the 5th use, I didn't faint.
Once I estimated the consumption rate of the MP, it turns it is around 50% now.
"What!? This is really good!"
I thought my character changed, but I was truly surprised by the performance, which was beyond my imagination, and was convinced that that granny wasn't lying. [2]
"I'm sorry Rerisu-san, I won't say anything else!"
I grasp the cane with both hands and pray to a mental image of the granny which was beautifully glittering with flowers in the back. [3]
Aside from the low-level magic, I calculate the consumption rate of the other low-level magic, and it was somewhere close.
However, the fire magic consumes slightly less than the others, and the earth magic consumes slightly more.
Perhaps the staff has its own advantage and disadvantage.
In the future battles the sword and the spear will be the main, and if necessary I will use the magic wand with a feel like I take out a pistol from its holster, and I end imagining myself like a cool guy shooting the pistol like "Bang Bang".
