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

Mea, Altamir, and I were visiting a tavern called The Dwarfs 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 thats 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 its a bit pricey for lunch, but its 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 ? Dont eat it too greedily or youll choke on it.

Hey, Abel, dont be so greedy with the pie, what about the thing? What happened to the thing? Youre 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! Its so sparkly and beautiful!

While Meas eyes were gleaming with pure joy, Altamirs eyes were like a panthers 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 Ive 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!? Youre doing it on purpose, arent 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 Im 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, Ill 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, Its just a little joke of Abel! Er itll 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.

Its a hologram.

This is the same principle as status magic, so it didnt take that much effort.

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

Im planning to add SNS and Lils board soon.

All you have to do is touch the screen.

Eh, Isnt this amazing!? Isnt it super awesome!? When did you make all this!? Why dont we hand this out at the Moon Festival Dinmei!

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

I was relieved. Im glad I managed to cover it up.

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

Thats impossible, its 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. Its too terrible if we have to collect more money from Peter-san than we already do. In the first place, if you dont go through the magic wave tower, the distance you can use is about the size of a village, so its meaningless.

No, youll 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, Ill have a little more time in my schedule.

I can also work on the parts I havent gotten around to.

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

Ehhh Thats all we have, though.

I cant contact anywhere with this thing? Its useless! Ill help you out a little bit, so lets get about twenty of them!

Oh?

Wait a minute.

Its really time-consuming to make just one.

Please give me a break.

A, Alta-san! Well, Abels been really busy

Youre both busy these days, arent you? When we get a few of these and we both have them on hand, well be able to contact each other anywhere.

A-, Abel why dont 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! Im angry! Its not that Im sad!

Some people are really annoying.

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

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

Shu-san, please calm down. Even though its noon, there are other customers here

I dont want to be called that by you!

It was the collector

Mea and Altamir were so absorbed in their Magiphone that they didnt 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, weve got a meeting to discuss the development of magic tools, right.

Jaggers smile twisted.

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

N-Nevermind that, did you hear? I heard that hes rejected, that drunken raghead.

I coughed involuntarily.

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

The girl wasnt 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 didnt 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 didnt do anything at all even after she bought the sword.

The commander didnt know, huh. There are more people here than usual even though its noon, right? Hes all high and mighty, but he only talks and doesnt do anything, and because hes strangely popular, hes got a grudge, and a lot of people come here just to watch him lament from afar.

Youre not here for that either, are you?

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

Seriously, thats insidious, so stop it.

I dont care what will happen if he gets really angry
