Magi’s Grandson

Vol 2 Chapter 24

Receiving the Honors

The Kingdom ended up shouldering the costs of the weapon creation.

Vibration Sword is a magic tool, and as of now, the only person who is able to create it is me, so it seems like Gus has given up.

However, because the idea of being able to replace the blade is possible and satisfactory, Gus wants to adapt it. Since during demon subjugation, blades will often be broken, and being able to replace it immediately is an attracting idea. With enough practice, the blade can easily withstand harsh conditions.

However, since grandma would most likely kill me if it was adapted without her permission, I decided to consult her first.

I wonder if I should ask Harold-san, Marks father, these various things? Although it would require some development funds, it would also decrease the funds needed for new weapons, and I do not want any regrets when the time has come for us to confront Schtrom.

As to what extent should it be developed, should I ask Uncle Dis about it?

At first I wanted Gus to pa.s.s a message to Uncle Dis, but since he often comes by the house, there wasnt really a need to.

After concluding our business in the workshop, we went to Olivias shop to eat lunch. When I asked the three girls what they were doing, all they said was, We were chatting while inside Olivia-sans room, and didnt provide any details.

I wonder if thats what it is, a girls-only gathering. If thats the case, then its normal for them not to provide any details.

And when I told Sicily that Id taken care of her fathers order, she apologized profusely for forgetting about it. I guess she was really interested about it, Mark and Olivias relations.h.i.+p.

By the way, Sicily ordered what Cecil-san recommended, the sandwich, while Maria ordered what Irene-san recommended, the pasta.

However, since Im in the period of rapid growth, a sandwich and pasta was not enough for me. I ate a whole lot of meat.

After finis.h.i.+ng our meals and errands, everyone decided to walk around the city.

By the way, Mark, what is being sold in the second and third floors of your shop?

Ah, on the second floor, we sell general living supplies, and as for the third floor, its accessories, Sir. The accessories on the third floor are both common and magic tools.

Accessories

I see, if one has magic tool accessories that increases ones defense, they can protect themselves better. To tell the truth, the uniform provided does not protect anything else other than the body parts it covers. After wearing it in combat, I found out its disadvantages. My face almost got burnt.

And the effects are gone after changing clothes. But when it comes to accessories, even if I change clothes, it will still be fine. In addition, Magic Barrier can be enhanced on the accessories to provide better protection.

Ill also ask about the creation of accessories.

Is there something wrong, s.h.i.+n-kun?

Theres nothing wrong. By the way Sicily, is there any kind of accessory you like?

A-a-a-a-a-accessories!? But when you ask that kind of thing all of a sudden! For the time being, a necklace is nice to have bracelets are also good and, ah, I also like earrings

Y-you want to have all of those?

Thats not it! Its nothing like that! I was just thinking what is good

Hmm. Actually, I was just thinking that it might perhaps be better to have magic tool accessories for protection. If I were to give everyone accessories, I was wondering what would be good.

Ah, is that so

Sicily suddenly looked quite crestfallen.

s.h.i.+n you, you cant just say something like that

You raise someones hope and then destroy it Are you a demon?

Sicily looks pitiful

Eh? Huh?

Ah! I guess she misunderstood my question! She thought I was asking because I was going to get her an accessory!

Umm, Sicily?

What is it?

She still looks downhearted.

You know what Would you go with me to Marks shop once more?

Its okay with me

Ah, everyone, please just wait here.

The tour around town has been suspended! I mean, its not like that!

And so, we enter Beans Workshop, and headed for the upper floors.

Huh? s.h.i.+n-kun, is this place the place you were talking about before

Nn, the accessory department.

I-Im very sorry! I didnt have such intention!

Its fine, its fine. You looked so happy talking about it earlier, and then I made you depressed. And, also

And what?

I was thinking I wanted to buy Sicily an accessory

Gasp!

Thats right. Although I said it was to apologize for earlier, in truth, my real intention is to give Sicily an accessory as a present.

Since Ill be the one enhancing it, its fine if its just a normal accessory. Which one do you think is good?

Umm, that, well

Excuse me, which one of these items can be enhanced with the most number of characters?

Welcome to the shop. Over here, please. The accessories in this area can be enhanced with eight to twelve characters.

Sicily, which one of these do you like?

O-one of items here!?

As I thought, they sell accessories you can enhance. If thats the case, the more characters, the better. They seem to cost about 2 to 5 Silver coins. However, if there are more characters, it might cost several Gold coins. As expected, the more characters I can enhance it with, the more zeroes are added to the cost!

Umm! Its my mistake after all! About this ring this is

Its fine. I had originally brought money to pay the workshop for the sword, but because of Gus proposal, I was able to save it.

But

And also, I think Sicily already knows about that guy. I want to strengthen our defenses. Even more than ever.

I understand. Well then

I was finally able to convince her. However, what I said earlier was true. Also, Cart was able to escape because of Schtroms help, so its not weird for me escort Sicily and protect her. If Sicily is targeted, I wont be able to keep my peace of mind.

Sicily was trying to choose a ring with a serious face. After looking for a while, she turned towards me. Oh? Has she decided?

Umm s.h.i.+n-kun, can s.h.i.+n-kun be the one to choose it after all?

Eh? Isnt it fine for you to choose whichever you like?

Ummm I cant decide by myself

I wonder if its because shes thinking about too many things?

Hmm, okay

For now, lets not look at the price or the number of characters that can be granted, lets choose something that looks good on Sicily. And so

How about this one?

What I ended up choosing was a silver ring mounting a blue stone. I thought it matched Sicilys navy blue hair.

The number of characters it could be enhanced with was eight, and the price was three Silver coins.

How about it? I think it matches Sicily.

Whoa!

Sicily looked at the ring with bright, s.h.i.+ning eyes.

Then, Ill take this one, thank you very much.

As you wish. Would you like to wear this right away?

Yes please! Thank you very much!

Im relieved. Sicily has become cheerful. After receiving the ring from the store clerk, Sicily placed the ring on the middle finger of her right hand.

s.h.i.+n-kun Thank you very much for this!

Sicily thanked me with a big smile. As I thought, shes really cute. Sicily is definitely dangerous to the eye*, so its better if no one else sees her like this. And so, I once again vowed to myself.

[T/N: Too much eye-candy.]

Im glad that youre happy with this. Ill grant defensive magic to it later that will be able to protect Sicily.

s.h.i.+n-kun will be protecting me

Huh? Its a little bit different though. Well, whatever.

After buying the ring, we left the store and rejoined everyone.

While Sicily was looking at the ring with a really cheerful expression, the two girls surrounded her joyfully. As I thought, I couldnt get into that group.

Nevertheless, you bought a ring so readily. As expected of you, s.h.i.+n.

Gus is grinning broadly again.

Ill have you know that Ill be pa.s.sing you guys accessories enhanced with defensive magic as well.

How should I say this, after looking at that scene it feels strange when you suddenly say that

Well, because a ring might not be suitable for guys, so either a bracelet or a necklace is fine as well

Please do that

After that, without any particular purpose, we walked around the streets. We went window shopping and bought some food. As I thought, even though we dont have any objectives, its fun to walk around with friends of the same age.

After spending a peaceful and fun day together, Mark and Olivia first separated from us, and then we went to Sicilys house.

The moment we arrived at Sicily house, I immediately took care of granting the protection magic.

Since I can only enhance it with eight characters I guess Ill go with Magic Barrier, and Physical Barrier.

I briefly imagined a Hard Wall, a simplified version of Absolute Magic Defense. Although it cannot disable everything, it has no problem blocking it. After my battle with Schtrom, I felt that Absolute Magic Defense was a little too excessive. Even though I was not able to completely protect myself, the Magic Barrier was enough to block his attacks. If thats the case, Magic Barrier should be sufficient enough. When the area of the barrier expanded, one could protect their entire body. It could also protect the people around you, and in terms of versatility, this one was better.

As for the Physical Barrier, it also used a similar image. However, there was a difference between the image between the physical and magic barriers.

After I finished enhancing the ring with magic, I pa.s.sed it on to Sicily She stuck out her right hand, and placed it on the middle finger where she had worn it earlier.

After receiving the ring, Sicily started staring at the ring happily once more.
