I was talking with Rosemonde in the general store magic tool, 《Fairy's Wings》.
「So uhm… Rosemonde-san, will you co to Peach Dragon Village to et Ramiel?」
「What?」
Rosemonde frowned upon hearing my question.
「I an, if I bring Rosemonde-san to see Ramiel, she'll tell about one of the 《Invisible Hand of God》… Soone called Nobunaga.」
「DON'T SCREW WITH ! HOW DARE THAT BRAT TO TOY WITH !」
「That's…」
Yup, it was impossible after all.
Rosemonde's reaction was only natural. From Rosemonde's perspective, she had no reason to et Ramiel.
「I'm in real trouble this ti. According to Ramiel, the other mber had a higher level than her.」
Anyhow, they were the people who controlled the world from behind the scenes after all.
When it cos to the people with higher levels than Ramiel, it was only natural for so of them to have higher levels than .
And naturally, they might own weapons that were more troubleso than their level.
Even Ramiel was using the Dragon Hole to defeat .
「Please Rosemonde-san. I've no choice but to rely on you this ti.」
「Tch, that's rich coming from you. To begin with, that's your problem, not mine.」
Rosemonde squinting her eyes, clicked her tongue then sprawled on the table.
I guess I couldn't ask for Rosemonse's help in this case.
Maybe I had to rely on Riddler to get the information about Nobunaga from Ramiel.
「Well, the ship had sailed. I've no choice but to go, but I can't say the sa about getting the information. Just don't co to when you're in trouble.」
S-So kind…!
「Y-Yeah, just having you cooperate is enough! Moreover, Ramiel doesn't seem to have malice to Rosemonde-san! I think she feels guilty about leaving you secretly in the city and want to apologize to you for that…」
「That Ramiel feels guilty?」
Asked Rosemonde with a puzzled face.
Seeing that look on her face, I quickly tried to recall Ramiel's look from back then.
『Well, I ditched that weak adventurer in the Polorock city.』
Darn, no matter how I look at it, there was no sign of remorse at all.
I guess she really didn't feel guilty about ditching Rosemonde.
「… Sorry, I guess I ended up exaggerating things since I want your cooperation no matter what.」
「As I thought, shall I pass then?」
「N-No, please go with us! I'll even prepare a handso amount of reward for you! Please, I don't care even if you ask for 100 million or 1 billion…!」
「Stop it, that amount of money is so damn scary! Your sense of money is crazy!」
Rosemonde struck the table as she warned .
Then, she touched her chin as if she recalled sothing.
「No, wait a minute, money huh… Hum. Co to think of it, are you one of those otherworlders?」
「Eh, how did you know about it?」
I didn't rember ever telling her about this fact.
That's why I was quite surprised to hear that Rosemonde knew about this.
「It's a well-known fact that 《Ares Hand》 is an otherworlder. Your na and appearance bear so resemblance, you even cooperated with her in the so-called 『Manga』.」
I see, that was enough clue indeed.
Still… My cooperation in the published manga wasn't sothing that Kotone herself wished for.
All I did was teach Gannet the basic knowledge, adjust the page, so little adjustnts, and explanations, reading the ruby katakana, so it would be published even without my assistance.
「I admit that but… What's the relationship of this and that?」
「Thank goodness, Rosemonde-san. You seem to be able to find that Ramiel girl, Does that an the issue has been resolved?」
A woman wearing a monocle and a bright red mini hat then asked as she ca from the storefront.
She was the shopkeeper of the general store magic tool 《Fairy's Wings》, l.
She was originally a magic tool craftsman from the countryside but then, she moved into Polorock to open her store after receiving an invitation from the rchant of Polorock who happened to pass by.
Magic tool craftman was sothing like an alchemist.
In contrast with alchemist who emphasized the transformation of the material itself, the magic tool craftsn focused more on molding and transformation of the material.
The line that separated both professions was vague, so of the skills needed by alchemists were magic tools craftsman's skills, and vice-versa.
In short, alchemy turned the soil into tal while magic tool makers turned the said tal into screws.
For magic tool makers, understanding magic to the point of paranoia and creativity was more important than versatility and understanding of alchemy.
「She's involved in a really troubleso sche though. Tch, sorry but I can't help you, l.」
「No worries, I'm just useless after all.」
l waved her hands with a wry smile on her face.
「Sorry for taking your ti, l-san. Even though this should be your business hour. You must be… Able to hear our voice from the storefront right?」
Rosemonde shouted a while ago after all, there was the voice of a chair being knocked over too.
We might scare a few of her custors.
「… Ah, well, actually, it's pretty normal for my store… To have no custor at all…」
l scratched her head awkwardly.
Her store is located in a good place in Polorock and she didn't slack in terms of putting goods and the exterior of the store either.
Maybe she was trying to be humble.
The reason why there was no custor today might simply be because we spoke way too loud to the point of disturbing the custor.
「I guess we shouldn't cause more trouble for her. Let's continue to nearby ca—」
「Don't worry Kanata, she ant it, her store has no custors at all.」
「Roseonde-san, that's a bit too–」
「I tried to help her when the store opened while searching for Ramiel at the sa ti but, it turned out to be a fool's errand. I an, I couldn't get any information since no one visiting this store.」
Unpleasant air drifts in the room.
Even if that was the case, no need to reveal it so openly like that.
「In short, you want to help her right? You don't have to phrase it in a way that will cause misunderstanding! Pora, see you in a completely new light, Rosemonde-san!」
Said Pora as she glared at Rosemonde.
I thought that Rosemonde would retort back alas, she just heaved a sigh, drank the water in her glass, and opened her mouth with a serious look on her face.
「… She got herself involved in a fraud case. It's a trick used by shrewd rchants to trick ignorant craftsn from the stick to enrich their own pocket.」
Pora was dumbfounded upon hearing that.
「Y-You're mistaken, Rosemonde-san! I'm just saying that things got a bit harder right now! But, this is where the real challenge!」
l spoke resolutely while clenching her fist.
But man, she was put on a facade.
「But even with fraud, it's still a mystery how she set up her store…」
「That's because this place is a terrifying giant monster called Polorock.」
