[Excuse me, I would please like an item bag.]

[They're lined up over there. Choose whatever you like.]

Separately, bags of the same size are lined up according to price. The higher the price, the more can be fit inside. Even the cheapest one costs 3 gold coins.

What I currently own are 5 gold coins, 5 silver coins, and 3 copper coins. I hesitated a little before buying the one that costs 4 gold coins. Still, since it can fit 3 backpacks' worth of items it should be enough for now.

Although I don't have any plan to buy anything else, there are things with unusual effects and designs, I looked around inside the shop. The effect of this earring, when will the stench effect be used? To prevent monster with sensitive nose to approach?

At that time, I saw a gold bangle with a red stone in it. Within the viciously looking color that looks like a hardened lifeblood is a violet prism.

I couldn't take my eyes off as if I was entranced. As if it was sucked, my hand reached out to it and I appraised.

Demon's Bangle.

A bracelet with a powerful demon sealed in it that lived from ancient times. It melts the wearer it does not like, but if it like its owner, it will give unrivaled protection.

My arm moved as if it was guided and put on the bangle. I ended up putting it on… Nothing's happening.

[What, was that just a threat?]

[Looks like it likes you.]

[Eh?]

The old lady grinned then laughed happily.

[To think I'd meet you while I'm still alive. Today is such a nice day. I will give that bangle to you. Take good care of it.]

[No thanks, I'm giving it back.]

What am I doing? I try to remove the bangle in a hurry, but it won't come off. In the first place, I can't find the connecting part that was there a while ago. It fit cozily in my arm as if it was customized for it.

[Eh?]

[It does not want to part with you. It's fine so just take it.]

[…Eh? EHH???]

You, from some time ago, huh? Please don't tell me that it's been calling out to me since I came in. It seems to be true for a person to be so surprised that words won't come out.

I try to shake it, it won't come off. I try to pull it off, it won't come off. I try to turn it, it won't come off.

My arm finally started hurting so I went on my way home while being sent off by the old lady's smile.

I immediately washed down my dinner without tasting it properly, quickly wiped my body, and got in the bed.

Probably because I looked depressed, Poppy asked me with "Rei-san, are you okay?" worriedly but honestly speaking, I am not okay.

Being liked by a demon, there's only a bad feeling to it.

I limited myself to not think about anything and just go to sleep.

I'm not being cursed, nor am I being caught up with an annoying situation, I'm saying I'm not so I'm not. I'll just put it like that for today.

Let's go and try meeting G.o.d tomorrow. Then I might be able to find a good way to resolve this problem.
