Purchase of the Magic Grimoire
The body of the Golden Slime was separated into a few parts and placed into a bag.
[It’s quite heavy…although I already knew it from when I was being squished by it.]
It probably weighs about 30 kilograms.
I finally understand the reason why it could fetch such a high price judging by how much gold there is.
[It’s too dangerous for Goshunjinsama to carry it since it leaves so many gaps in your defense.]
Certainly, the bag is quite bulky so it gets in the way.
[Although it gets in the way, there is no other choice.]
We finally agree on Misha dragging one end of the bag by pulling it with her mouth while I carry the other end.
As expected of a Lv 71, she carried it with effort to spare.
[Clap your hand if an enemy appears behind you.]
[Alright. I do not want to die.]
Despite the trip being a bit awkward because of the heavy bag, we returned to the surface.
I felt the danger was over once we returned back to floor B14.
If it’s an enemy from this floor, I could handle it 1 on 1 without any problems. Also, it doesn’t seem like enemies such as golems appear here.
[Vefoffee vee refurr fo fwa fwurface, fooo noth weth yor vaugth voww.] (Before we return to the surface, do not let your guard down.] (E.D. …You try speaking that sentence with your lower lips above your teeth. I dare you)
Misha reminded me while holding the end of the bag with her mouth.
I am ashamed that I let my guard down, so I must reflect on my actions.
After we returned to the surface, we immediately headed to the guild to exchange it for money.
It would be bad if the item got stolen.
The receptionist (whose name is Aria by the way), said [Umm, please come with me behind the counter.]
And she took us to the office on the second floor behind the counter so as to not attract unwanted attention.
[I am sorry…. If what you have in the bag is really a Golden Slime, there might be people that would aim for you Keiji….]
That might be the case.
It is not strange for people trying to steal someone who is carrying tens of millions of yen on them.
Even if there is no theft, there might still be some strange people trying to get close to me.
Aria held her breath after seeing the Golden Slime inside the bag.
[Amazing… This is my second time seeing a Golden Slime with my own eyes….]
Misha proudly cried out [Nyaa~]
[However, I am impressed! Many people lose their life on their way to find a Golden Slime.]
[I am just lucky.]
[Myaa-!]
This time Misha cried out with pride.
It meant that [My goshujinsama is amazing right?]
I could understand what Misha is trying to say from the difference in her tone. I have known her for so long after all.
[Please wait a moment as I go get the person in charge of exchanges.]
The person-in-charge came after a slight wait (He is an uncle who looks like a typical merchant).
[Ooh! This is an item you do not see that often….]
The appraisal he gave made me happy.
[Let me see…. How about 4.8 million coins for all of this?]
Of course I immediately agreed.
With this, I could immediately purchase the magic grimoire that costs 1.2 million coins.
[However…. I am unable to bring out such a huge sum of money at such short notice. …How about I give you the rights to tab this amount of money to the guild?]
I receive a cheque booklet which already has the guild name pre-written on it.
All I have to do is to write my name and 1.2 million coin onto the cheque and I could purchase the magic grimoire.
[Ah, there is also one more piece of good news!]
Aria-san was all smile while saying this.
[Your adventurer rank has risen to rank D!]
Although I felt happy—.
[But I did not receive any quest from the guild….]
[Since you were able to reach floor B23 and defeated a monster there, it’s natural for your rank to be raised.]
I received the proof that I have became stronger.
Next, we immediately went to the shop that was selling the magic grimoire.
The shop owner was quite surprised when I wanted to purchase it with the check.
Certainly, not many people would buy the grimoire as it costs quite a fortune.
[Is this a gift for your wife who is a magician?]
The shop owner asked me.
[Well…you could say that….]
After I returned to the inn, I told the proprietress about the matter of the Golden Slime and was treated to various kinds of dishes.
[Congratulations!]
[It is weird being treated by others despite me being the one who earned a lot of money….]
[There is a lot worth celebrating so don’t mind the small details!]
As the condition of the dungeon was extremely harsh, I was so touched that my eye got watery by her gesture.
Actually, I would also like Misha to share the dishes with me but it would look strange for a cat to eat all of this.
[Excuse me, could you also make something special for Misha too?]
Misha lay her face onto my lap as a sign of gratitude.
After dinner, Misha begun reading the body transformation grimoire enthusiastically.
[I see nya~. So this is how you read it]
I got used to the scene of a cat reading a book.
There are 3 stages involved in learning a new magic spell.
The first way is to repeatedly read a new grimoire.
A magician could learn a wide huge repertoire of spells by memorizing the spell this way.
The next way is to actively trying to understand the principle of the spell.
You usually learn it under the teaching of a grand magician.
You might also possibly acquire a unique spell from them this way.
However, it is not necessary to have an excellent teacher to become a magician and not all grand magicians have excellent pupils.
At such a time, a grand magician will make a grimoire to prevent the loss of their unique spell to time.
Hence, this is also a reason why there are many grimoires on the market.
Of course, if there is an extremely rare and special grimoire, it would not be sold to the market.
In principle, it is also possible to create your own original magic when you think about it.
Creating your own magic is considered the third way of acquiring magic, but none of this concerns Misha now.
Nevertheless, to become a grand magician, it would not be bad for us to try and create our own original magic when that time comes.
Rather, it is highly possible for Misha to walk on this path judging by her own strength.
From the first day she started reading, Misha spent four days reading and getting familiarized with the grimoire.
And got used to flipping the page with just her eyes.
And then on the fourth day.
[Let’s try using the body transformation spell]
Misha said so with a cool and calm voice.
