Hidder - "There you go. I took the time out of my weekend just to do this xD B-b-but it’s not like I care about you…. humph”

s.h.i.+ro the Hero  - *Sleeping….. maybe?*

[…]

"I want you to live freely… I wish I could get along with my cute bride and many other races, I want to befriend interesting people. Regarding the Wiz colleting subject, I want all of them simply because it stimulates my collection desires.  I was only thinking about the final result when saving Iris, in other words, I acted upon my own self-interest. That's why you shouldn't say stuff like "you saved my life twice". I just want to have fun and enjoy my life. Got it?"

Iris nodded.

"I understand. But regardless of whether or not thou had a hidden intention, the fact that thou saved me does not change.

There is no doubt about it. That's why, Tina, mocking Shouma is like making me thy enemy."

Looking straight at Tina with those crimson eyes, Iris spoke in a serious tone.

"I understand. If Onee-sama says so, I will have a test to see if your husband is a suitable person for you or not."

"A duel then?!"

"As I said I can't have a duel with you! You really are a belligerent person, aren't you…"

Tina sighed as if she was tired.

Then, what will the contents of the test be?

"You said you'd collect all kinds of Wiz cards. If you successfully manage to do it, only then I will let you marry Onee-sama, and I'll call you Onii-sama."

"Sure do. When that happens, please come to our wedding only wearing underwear."

To Shouma's lascivious comment, Tina responded with a huffy face.

"It's a deal. Not even talking about wearing underwear-only, I will attend it nude."

"Stop it. It's embarra.s.sing hearing these things from a family member."

"It's a win-win situation then."

"Yes, it indeed is."

They shook hands while ignoring Iris.

After that, Shouma said:

"I have a question for you, Tina — You created 50 cards in those 50 years right?"

"Yes. Since I have the power of

, I can combine existing Wiz cards to create new ones… But… that power can only be used once every year."

“And what are you going to do with the newly created Wiz cards?"

"They'll be a prize for the quest.”

About the quest, it's a duel which is held every other month. It's not much different from most duels, except that Tina decides all rules and prizes.

While held in the Spirit community, various things such as buildings, plots of land and Wiz cards are made into prizes.

New Wiz cards will be a prize every year — In that month's quest, creatures from all around the world will partic.i.p.ate, the compet.i.tion will be even more intense.

“Later, a new Wiz card is going to be the prize.”

It'll be the quest three months from now, right?

"Well, I certainly will be looking for it… Also, I surely want to obtain those 50 Wiz cards by then. In the last 50 years, 50 new Wiz cards were made – but, where are the owners of those cards?"

"I cannot specifically tell you where those 50 cards are. I want to help my Onee-sama, though, because I'm the supreme G.o.d subst.i.tute I can't put my personal feelings above everything else."

Tina said firmly.

Even still, she had a relaxed expression.

“I am not the supreme G.o.d, only a subst.i.tute – so it's okay for me to do something special for someone here.”

Shouma smiled.

“Nice. I like flexible people.”

Hearing that, Tina blushed.

“I-It doesn't matter if you like me or not. First, you have Onee-sama. Of course I still do not accept your relations.h.i.+p! That's why it is inexcusable to be talking about another woman!"

To regain her composure, Tina coughed lightly. Then, she began to talk frantically.

“So, in the last 50 years, new Wiz cards were made, and there are only one of each in the world — that makes them extremely rare. Such rare Wiz cards, they must be owned by very influential people. Because they sell at a very high price. Also, they can be robbed in a duel. Even if I don't want to disclose information about the owners, the 50 cards are scattered throughout all of the 8 big communities."

"In other words, they are not in the Spirit community where we are now."

“That's right.”

Nodding, Tina gazed at Iris with her emerald eyes.

“So Irirs-oneesama, thanks for giving me some of your free time. To prepare for the quest three months from now, I have to meet with the spirits."

“Okay. It was good meeting thou today.”

“Me too, Onee-sama. See you again sometime!”

Tina turned her back.

As if remembering something, she turned around again,

“Thank you for helping me Onee-sama, thank you very much… Shouma…san"

She was really embarra.s.sed while saying that.

When Tina disappeared, the effect of

also expired. While in the lively place, Shouma sits down and opened

to check his amount of money.

Lightly, Iris started speaking.

“Well… It's probably time to eat something."

“Is there a card for making food?"

“Ah. It seems I haven't eaten in my entire life."

When he checked

before, it was revealed that there were about 50.000 kinds of special Wiz cards, excluding cheat Wiz cards, of course. Cards for water, for food, for precious metals, for building… Anyway, a lot of things were kept there.

Astral's currency is [Flim] [Dolph] [Vill] [Landt]. One Flim is equivalent to one fruit, one Dolph is equivalent to a common person's meal, one Vill is equivalent to the daily salary of common people, one Landt is equivalent to the monthly rent of an apartment building. And, Shouma currently owned 100.000.000 Landt.

Incredibly, that value is enough to live safely for the rest of your life. But for Shouma, to duel is the best entertainment. As long as he is in Astral, Shouma can play as much as he wants.

“In short, he did an amazing job on collecting money until now. Perhaps he wanted to pa.s.s all his wealth on… My grandpa sure was a calculating guy."

Well, he did not want to condemn him. If it wasn't for him getting all of his wealth, gathering all Wiz cards from zero would be very hard. Besides, 50 years ago his grandparents were newlywed.

Torn apart from his most beloved wife, Atsumori must have been gathering Wiz cards with the mad aim of returning to his original world no matter what. He could spare no mercy for the vanquished.

"Anyway, there is a lot of money, let's just go eat in a shop!"

“Whatever thou prefer Shouma. I cannot eat anyway."

Oh yeah, Iris was a spiritual body. Shouma's life force was her food.

"Oh yeah, then please fill your belly with my life force."

“I'm sorry about the trouble. Also, have thou decided which shop thou want to go to?"

"Let's eat in the busy Bunny girl's shop."

“Bunny girl… Oh, it’s the Beast shop. Thou better not go there."

"Is the Beast's cooking bad?"

“That's not it. As I said, thou have the appearance of a Hyural. Certainly this is a neutral community, but the races still are a little bit hostile to each other. I’m just warning thou so thou don't get embarra.s.sed if they decide to not serve thou. But if thou decide to go eat there, I will go with thou."

“That's it. Well, we still don't know if the Bunny girl dislikes me or not."

Even if the majority of races hate each other, to decide things like that on your own is just stupid.

Although it may not be something that stands out in all the tribes, there should be some people who are not as discriminatory as Iris.

“If it's something thou want, I will follow thou."

“Okay, let me do that then."

Then, Shouma headed for the Bunny girl's shop.
