Chapter 367 - Episode Thirteen- Three Great Weapons in Fage Territory (5)

Mea, Altamir, and I were visiting a tavern called “The Dwarf’s Lair” in the Fage territory.

In this world, there is no age limit for drinking.

As a rule of thumb, it is better to be over 16, but that’s about it.

However, I did not come here to drink.

I came here not to drink, but to have lunch in the morning, when the stores were empty and the food was tasty and filling.

The downside is that it’s a bit pricey for lunch, but it’s a luxury we can afford.

This time, along with lunch, I was also unveiling the Magiphone, a magical cell phone, to Altamir.

I bit into a fish pie with dead eyes.

It was a work of art, baked in the shape of a fish, and even the scales were reproduced, but I had no time to enjoy its appearance.

The aroma of herbs was pleasant. I felt as if the pie crust was soaking into my stomach, filling me with a sense of happiness.

Hunger is the best spice, as they say.

I had insisted to Altamir that I had completed the Magiphone yesterday, and since I had been forcing it into shape without eating, drinking or sleeping, I was honestly hungry.

Yesterday, I asked Rinoa, who was looking tired after the meeting of the Moon Festival Dinmei, if she would like to have a small part-time job. I asked her to help me, but she ran away as fast as she could, which hurt.

“Are you alright, Abel ……? Don’t eat it too greedily or you’ll choke on it.”

“Hey, Abel, don’t be so greedy with the pie, what about the thing? What happened to the thing? You’re done tuning with it, right?”

Altamir comes at me with a huge grin.

I wiped my hands and took out my magic cell phone Magiphone from my pocket, which I had worked on all night, and placed it on my desk.

Its appearance resembles a wristwatch. It has a simple leather belt and a disk made of magic ore.

“Wow! It’s so sparkly and beautiful!”

While Mea’s eyes were gleaming with pure joy, Altamir’s eyes were like a panther’s that had found its prey.

What is it about the Magiphone that drives Altamir so much?

“This, how do you use this? Hey? Hey?”

I was biting into the pie again, so I silently turned my palm to still Altamiir.

Altamir looked at me, holding the Magiphone tightly, staring at me at point-blank range.

…… I will really choke, so I would like you to stop.

After I’ve gulped it down and let it settle in my stomach, then I slowly swallowed water.

This is the moment of bliss.

“Fuuuuh ……”

As I reached for the dishes again, Altamir leaned forward and dropped a handkerchief on my wrist.

“Are you teasing and playing with me!? You’re doing it on purpose, aren’t you!?”

“H-Hey, Alta-san! Abel is really tired ……!”

Mea stood up quickly and stopped Altamir.

I felt a little guilty about that, and I felt my cheeks redden a little, and I apologized to her, keeping my face down.

“…… Sorry, I was just playing with you a little.”

I was definitely a little hungry, but I’m a pretty thin eater to begin with, so I was already satisfied.

It was a hearty dish to begin with, but my hunger made me choose a larger size.

I might not be able to finish it. In that case, I’ll ask Mea to help me.

“Abel!?” “I knew it!”

Altamir stretches out his her and grabs me by the collar.

“Wait a minute! It hurts! It really hurts!”

“Ple-, please stop that! Look, It’s just a little joke of Abel! Er …… it’ll get the store in trouble! Okay? Okay?”

After I was released from Altamir, I did a quick check of my surroundings.

I was a little busy, so I may have seemed annoying.

…… I thought it was, but even the sparse customers seemed to be looking elsewhere, to the seats in the back, rather than at us.

I hear some loud voices. It seemed to be drunks making a racket in the middle of the day.

There are people like that in every world ……

“You just need to put it on your arm and put some magic power into it. Later, the magic circle inside will respond.”

As I explained, Altamir wrapped a Magiphone around his arm.

“So …… should I do it like this?”

The disk of magic ore shines, a magic circle unfolds on the disk, and a circular screen appears above it.

“Kyaah!”

Altamir looked away in surprise, and then looked at it fearfully.

It’s a hologram.

This is the same principle as status magic, so it didn’t take that much effort.

The circular screen contains “Phone”, “Messages”, “Camera”, “Status Check”, “Calendar”, “Notes”, and “Block Breaker”.

I’m planning to add “SNS” and “Lils board” soon.

All you have to do is touch the screen.

“Eh, Isn’t this amazing!? Isn’t it super awesome!? When did you make all this!? Why don’t we hand this out at the Moon Festival Dinmei!”

Altamir said excitedly, touching the screen this way and that.

I was relieved. I’m glad I managed to cover it up.

I was wondering what I would do if she said it was totally wrong.

“That’s impossible, it’s not suitable for mass production because it uses rare magic ore. Also, we have to carve the magic formula one by one, so the cost of human resources will be terrible. It’s too terrible if we have to collect more money from Peter-san than we already do. In the first place, if you don’t go through the magic wave tower, the distance you can use is about the size of a village, so it’s meaningless.”

“No, you’ll definitely get your money back! Whoa, what is this! Wait a minute, what should I do with this?”

“Oh! Mea is good at this! If you do this, the bottom bar will move!”

Altamir and Mea are cackling.

Now Altamir is clear.

From tomorrow on, I’ll have a little more time in my schedule.

I can also work on the parts I haven’t gotten around to.

“How many of these are there now? Hey? We can connect within the Fage territory, right? I’m going to try to connect it to your Magiphone now, so try to answer it!”

“Ehhh …… That’s all we have, though.”

“I can’t contact anywhere with this thing? It’s useless! I’ll help you out a little bit, so let’s get about twenty of them!”

“Oh?”

Wait a minute.

It’s really time-consuming to make just one.

Please give me a break.

“A, Alta-san! Well, Abel’s been really busy ……”

“You’re both busy these days, aren’t you? When we get a few of these and we both have them on hand, we’ll be able to contact each other anywhere.”

“A-, Abel …… why don’t we just make a few? Okay?”

You set me up, witch. ……!

In an instant, she had Mea in her arms.

As I was pondering this, I heard the shouts of the drunk again from the back of the room.

“No! I’m angry! It’s not that I’m sad!”

Some people are really annoying.

It would be better to kick him out of the store.

He’s been yelling for a while now. He should be made to reflect a little.

“Shu-san, please calm down. Even though it’s noon, there are other customers here ……”

“I don’t want to be called that by you!”

It was the collector ……

Mea and Altamir were so absorbed in their Magiphone that they didn’t seem to pay much attention to it.

I was looking in the direction of the collector when he tapped me on the shoulder.

I turned around to see a thin, dark-skinned man standing there.

It was Jaguar, one of the members of the Alchemists Division.

“The Commander, Vice-Commander, and even Mea-sama are all here!”

“O-Ohhhh, we’ve got a meeting to discuss the development of magic tools, right.”

Jagger’s smile twisted.

He probably thinks that if he gets involved, he’ll lose the whole day.

“N-Nevermind that, did you hear? I heard that he’s rejected, that drunken raghead.”

I coughed involuntarily.

I’m pretty sure the collector was a former merchant who was tied to Iris, but he was rejected outright.

“The girl wasn’t originally planning to stay in Fage territory forever. She took a break and said she was going to the city to get back on her feet, so she bought all kinds of stuff in the Fage territory before she left. When that drunken raghead told her that he would follow her, she replied to him in a roundabout way that she didn’t want him to be in my way.”

Jaguar speaks with a grin.

H-, how tragic ……

They seemed to get along pretty well, so was it like that.

No, it can be like that.

I heard that he didn’t do anything at all even after she bought the sword.

“The commander didn’t know, huh. There are more people here than usual even though it’s noon, right? He’s all high and mighty, but he only talks and doesn’t do anything, and because he’s strangely popular, he’s got a grudge, and a lot of people come here just to watch him lament from afar.”

…… You’re not here for that either, are you?

I look around me. All the guests seemed to be enjoying themselves rather than being annoyed.

Seriously, that’s insidious, so stop it.

I don’t care what will happen if he gets really angry ……
