Having returned ho and after getting changed, I made my way to a building not far from Avenue Vancour, the citys main thoroughfare.
This buildings first and second floors were filled to the brim with brothels, but the basent housed a modest, seemingly off-the-wall establishnt under a different administration, with a hanging sign that read Cuffs. However, being a teacher, I would rather the store be relocated to a different structure at once.
A hefty stone door was opened after descending a narrow staircase that resembled a hidden passageway, and the familiar dimly illuminated interior erged.
Welcooh, its you.
Hello, its been a while.
Upon my entrance, the owner of the establishnt flashed a sullen look. In contrast to his receding bangs, he was an elderly man with a well-grood beard.
Hansa Biaggi was the na he goes by. His na was likewise on the wanted list, and he was a veritable villain like myself.
You havent been here for a while, and then all of a sudden you show up. Since there are only a few regulars here, instead of frequenting the brothels upstairs, why dont you drop by here?
I dont have that kind of money to waste on won. Besides, I dont grasp the significance of spending a fortune on a woman.
Had I chosen to do such a thing, it would have been much more profitable to kidnap a woman from the city and violate her.
Hansa, nevertheless, appeared to view it in a different light.
Oh, you dont have any trouble getting a woman, do you? Is your biological structure functioning properly? Let tell you, when I was younger, my looks were hundreds of tis more attractive and appealing than yours.
Oh, I didnt know you started setting up a telescope. I know its compact and easy to hold, but you must have one of the digits wrong.
Listen to .
My first encounter with Hansa was when Matthias introduced to this store. Even Matthias, who can kill a magician with one fist, was destined to be constrained as long as he was unable to employ magic. To make up for such restrictions, he would sporadically visit this Cuffs store, although in my case, I seldom ever made a purchase here.
Well, forget it. More importantly, you brought that thing with you today, didnt you? Since I havent received the product that has served as my central pillar for more than a month, my business is on the edge of collapsing. What do you expect to do without your products?
Why dont you sell these rchandise that have been lying around your business for more than a month?
Nobodys going to buy that junk, Hansa answered as if he werent the stores proprietor. So, are you sure its in order?
Well, of course.
After digging around in my right pocket, I dumped a handful of magic crystal stones down on the counter.
Hansa then hurriedly picked them up.
I-Idiot! What if they get cracked!
No, it wont crack that simply.
Even so, you should handle them with more care!
The magic crystal stones were picked up by Hansa as though he treasured them far more than I, the creator, do. I was inclined to play a small joke on him after observing his visibly stressed-out facial expression.
While I am at it, I might as well throw in a magic crystal stone from my left pocket too.
Ah, stop it, you idiot!
Jingling jingling.
When I finally picked up all the magic crystal stones that had tumbled, the magic crystal stones in my left hand were scattered in a spectacular heap.
With an uncharacteristically shrieking voice, Hansa desperately chased after the magic crystal stones, which were bouncing and rolling in all directions.
Each one of the magic crystal stones cost no less than 100,000 Fanta! You, since you scattered them yourself, pick them up right away!
No, its surprisingly invigorating to glance down and see others painstakingly picking up the things I myself have thrown away.
What in heavens na are you being so delighted for!? Pick up whats laying around over there; I have absolutely no interest in your unredeemable propensity!
Aye, aye.
Anything more than that and he will be really pissed off, which prompted to maturely obey his words. A whip was to be used sparingly when it ca to discipline. From my daily training experience, I had a solid grasp of the notion that excessively abundant punishnt was unacceptable.
After several minutes of searching for the stones, I finally retrieved all of them and grasped them all over again.
Now, lets move on to the second round, shall we?
Are you a demon!? If you are planning to do this, youre going to have to pick it up on your own!
Seriously, Hansa, having you along is awful.
The solemnity in Hansas eyes led to ekly place the magic crystal stones on the counter.
Good grief, I thought you havent dropped by here in a while, and this is what happened
With both Mr. Matthias and Ms. Xenia gone, the only person who will indulge my antics like this is Mr. Hansa.
Tsk.
Hansa ruffled his thinning hair and made no further comnt.
In reality, Eto and Hansa were the only two people who had any knowledge of my true identity now that those two were gone. While I still harbored lingering reservations about Eto, I had no qualms at all about Hansa, since he perfectly understood and tolerated my disposition and was very receptive to my company. In terms of whom I can talk to with total frankness, it would not be an exaggeration to proclaim that Hansa had now remained the sole person with to communicate.
We have squandered a lot of ti on trivial matters. Lets get down to business. Are you sure the number is eleven?
Yes. And the quality is the customary level.
I see, thats for sure.
Hansa nodded cryptically after verifying the information on the magic crystal stone with See-through. then abruptly lifted his head.
But I havent actually heard anything about you since Matthias passing. How did you manage to amass so many of them?
Oh, I simply stumbled upon sothing that was a fine acquisition.[i]
Sothing you picked up?
Yes, a fine acquisition.
With a beam, I inford him that the fine acquisition was Hunter that Fina had defeated that day and left unattended.
To have Soul Eater wrapped things up by the ti Kaguya ca to arrest Hunter was a bit of a stretch, but I made it in ti, albeit barely
And, as one would expect from a rate A wanted person. With only his single spirit, I was able to accumulate 12 magic crystal stones. After that, I kidnapped two more fifth-class magicians and converted them to spirit as well, but even with the two of them combined, it was only equivalent to four magic crystal stones.
Had Alice been devoured as well, she would have amassed nearly twice that amount. It was unfortunate even though there was nothing I could do about it.
T/N:
[i] The word used here is . Its a trick word when hearing it unless viewed in words. The next sentence said by Hansa is . Both are different words but with the sa pronunciation. The first one ans sothing like picking a person and the latter one ans picking up an item. So Hansa is unaware of what he ant. The part about fine acquisition is just made-up words, cause its impossible to translate this sentence together. Soone and Sothing in English are distinctly different in hearing it after all, no point in translating following that format anyway.
