TDADP chapter 211: Magic Eye shop

「Yuu~. Hey, Yuu~」

Nina laying down on the sofa in the mansion's living room, raises her voice to call out to Yuu who is sewing on the Benanthus skin.

「Nina, don't get in the way」

「I'm free」

「When I came back from the 『Goblin Forest』, didn't you say you were tired」

「But～. Mou, haven't you been adventuring for another week? You have already allowed Flavia-chan and the others to dive into the labyrinth, right?」

「Yes, Agafon´s group are doing their best. Collet also praised them that the herbs and mushrooms collected by them were in good condition」

「I see! If the labyrinth is no good, then let's go to the auction in the capital city! Mago-san said that there’s an auction that is not once a month but only once a year, right?」

「I will participate in the auction...... but Nina, you want to go somewhere because you don't want to teach Namari how to study」

Nina is overwhelmed by Yuu's point of view. Namari who was reading a picture book happily next to Yuu shook her body unexpectedly, and Momo who was reading the picture book together on Namari's head hit Namari's head to remind her to turn to the next page.

「…………Th, That’s not true～」

「What's in the meantime」

「Nina-dono, don't bother Master too much」

Russ softly warns Nina.

「Why are you here, even though Master has asked you to take care of the country?」

Russ laughs from his nose and responds to Marifa´s words that don't carry any emotions attached, letting your spine freeze.

「I don't know if you're like a biting louse, but I can't break my connection with Master. And unlike you, I'm here with all the instructions from Master」

Has everyone already been familiar with the grudge between Marifa and Russ, which let even sparks appear? The surrounding Tin and Melanie kept their distance so that they wouldn't get in the way. Only one person, Vanamo, was staring at Russ with Marifa.

「......If it’s a fight, do it outside. I can’t concentrate on the book」

The whorl of hair on Lena's head, who was reading a book, sways left and right after she lost her patience.

「Lena is right」

Either way, Yuu can't concentrate on his work, he put the needle and thread on the table and looked at Marifa and Russ. As expected, both apologized to Yuu when he scolds them.

「I'm sorry master, but I'd like to get permission to go to the city」

「Don't bother to get permission from me, do whatever you want. The same goes for everyone else」

Yuu tells so to Marifa and the maids, but only Ting responded.

「Here, please」

A wolf woman, one of the slave maid apprentices, puts wine and a glass on a silver tray in front of Joseph, who somehow sits in the living room.

「Ou. Fantastic」

The wolf woman pours wine into Joseph´s glass. Each bottle of high-quality wine costs half a million Madoka and Joseph drinks it like it's hot water.

「This wine is ok」

This man, like a fool, drinks a lot of alcohol, but he is noisy to the taste of alcohol. Thanks to that, a large amount of alcohol was stored in the basement of Yuu's mansion only for Joseph.

「It's simple...... you can't appreciate good wine」

「This is rude. Immediately something――」

The wolf woman is going to the kitchen.

「Grafira, don't pamper Joseph so much」

「I´m sorry master...... but」

The wolf woman called Grafira turned to Marifa for instructions on what she shall do, but Marifa was staring at Joseph with eyes capable of shooting someone to death. It's no wonder Marifa gets angry. Because of Joseph alone, the Engel's coefficient[1] of Yuu´s mansion is skyrocketing to the ceiling. Marifa, who takes care of Yuu´s household expenses, is nothing but crushed, because of Joseph, who lies in his pants in the living room day and night.

「If so, Yuu can make something」

「I'm busy」

「Make something without saying that」

Yuu seems to be worried for a while but stands up whispering 「It cant be helped」.

「Oh, I would prefer seafood if possible」

Marifa’s eyes rise to Joseph's thick words. Where is her usual calm appearance?

「Are oysters cooked in the shell fine?」

「I want an abalone too. Emm don’t forget the butter. And that's it. Wait, also bring a bit of that soy sauce」

「You're a guy with a lot of orders」

Despite complaining, Yuu goes to the kitchen. After that, Marifa chased after Yuu as usual.

-----------------

「Gogaaaaaaaaaaa!!!」

An ogre punches Agafon´s face with a roar. If it were an ordinary person, his neck bone would bend, and even E or F ranked adventurers wouldn't be able to escape. However, Agafon who took the brute force head-on,

「Oh～, idede」

Agafon wipes the blood from his mouth. Monique was watching the situation with an amazed face. On one side, the ogre is stunned by the appearance of Agafon, who is still fine even though he struck with full power.

「Go…... Goooooooo!!」

Again, the ogre attacked Agafon, but it was Monique that broke into it. She receives the Ogre´s attack with her tower shield made of obsidian that is as tall as her height. Monique's height is about one hundred and fifty centimeters, and it is no exaggeration to say that she is a dwarf compared to the ogre, but the attack was easily received. The neck of the ogre that was not able to use its own attack was broken by the obsidian short-swords that Yam held in his left and right hand.

「Agafon, what do you think you're doing?」

Along with Flavia and the others who peel the skin from the beaten ogre, Monique, who can't help but get angry, draws near Agafon.

「What?」

「What? Why did you attack the Ogre on purpose?」

「It's the fastest way to know the strength of the opponent. In this 『Golgo Labyrinth』, it's said that Ogres are the top monsters」

From Monique that shakes her body, the high-fairy Akane took a further distance and closed her ears.

「Idiot～!!」

「Monique, don't shout. Do you know where this is? A leader would have said to stop the act of unnecessarily risking your lives in the labyrinth」

「Noisy, noisy! What is my role?」

「Since Monique has a shield it’s her job to protect everyone」

「Yes, it’s my job to protect everyone with my shield. That's why you! You attacked on purpose in front of me!」

「Monique, Agafon is stupid, so you have to say it more clearly」

Flavia adds to Monique´s words while skinning the ogre.

「I wonder if you were angry about that. It's not like there's no Monique or another friend」

Agafon said that and tried to give up his body and take part in the skinning of the ogre, but Monique slapped his head with an iron hammer.

「Ouch!!? What is it! It was more painful than the ogre's attack!!」

「Noisy!」

「Hahaha. Agafon is good friends not only with Flavia but also with Monique」

Demi-human Otope stares at Agafon somewhere enviously. Demi-Humans are good at fighting but don't care much about their peers. In other words, he isn't interested, but Agafon naturally communicates with friends and softens it. In the first exploration of 『Golgo Labyrinth』, the tension of Flavia and the others was greatly relieved only by Agafon.

「Otope, don't say something so half-hearted!」

「I, I think so too」

「Agafon, are we going to the lower levels today?」

Yam from the deprived people asks while wiping the blood of the ogre attached to his short swords.

「That's natural. Over the next few days, we’ll go to the bottom」

On the eleventh floor of 『Golgo Labyrinth』, Agafon enjoyed exploring.

-----------------

There is a street lined with shops that specialize in magic guidance and magic tools in the corner of Comer city, but between the stores, if you go into an alley that you won't notice if you don't pay close attention, you'll find suspicious shops lined up. One of them is a store called 『Magic Eye shop』. Jobs that use 『Magic Eye』 include『Magic Eye Warrior』 and 『Magic Eye User』. As its name suggests, it uses the magic eye's abilities to give the target so-called bad statuses such as poison, paralysis, confusion, petrification, charming and brainwashing. There is a person who is working on transplanting 『Magic Eye』 to others. Regardless of whether it is legal or illegal, the owner of this 『Magic Eye』 shop transplants the 『Magic Eye』 obtained to the eye socket that has been lost due to blindness, injury, etc.

「Isn't this the young dark elf lady again」

With murky gray eyes, an old man stares at Marifa as a product.

「I have heard that you can transplant 『Magic Eye』 at this store」

「That's right....... You can buy and sell 『Magic Eye』 at this store. Is the lady selling?」

「Both」

Marifa said and put a bottle of 『Magic Eye』 on the counter.

「O...... Oh...... this is....... It’s a 『Magic Eye』 with tremendous magical power. Where did you get such a dangerous thing? No No...... it's a wild way to ask」

The old man wanted to know the route to get such a 『Magic Eye』 brought by Marifa, but when Coro and Ran groaned, he panicked, and Marifa talked.

「『Goblin Great Forest』. I have dug out the eyeballs of the Goblin Queen, who is the master of that place」

「Goblin queen....... Was it also the master of that labyrinth? Then it wasn't just a goblin queen. I guess it was a goblin queen with a name」

「That's a lot of useless talk. Please start transplanting immediately」

「Aren't you the one who's selling it?」

The eyes of the old man who had fallen half are opened.

「I should have said both, didn't I?」

The old man was excited by this customer after a long time, and when the sign on the door of the store was closed, he immediately started preparing for the transplant.

「Is...... Is it really alright?」

「Yes, please without anesthesia」

「It's really painful, you know? I won't do anything strange to a lady just because she is anesthetized. If I do that, the two of them will bite my throat」

On the side of Marifa who was laying on the examination table, there was the figures of Koro and Ran watching with anxiety. If this old man does anything strange, they may not be silent.

「If I´m anesthetized my body will become dull for a few days. Then I won't be able to serve my master satisfactorily」

Although the old man had transplanted the 『Magic Eye』 for many years, it was the first time that someone refused anesthesia because that person would not be in an adequate state to be in the service to their Master.

「You're a scary lady. Then I'll reconfirm, it's about transplanting 『Magic Eye』」

「The right eye. I won't even allow a slight injury to my left eye」

「I understand. I will do my best」

Marifa has the Goblin Queen's 『Magic Eye』 transplanted to her right eye by offering a large sum of money and sells her normal right eye to the 『Magic Eye Warrior』 old man.

[1] - Engel's Law is an observation in economics, stating that as the income of a person rises, the proportion of it being spent on food will fall, even if more money is overall spent on food. Engel's Coefficient functions as such, the higher, the poorer you are, as you spend a more significant portion of your income on food. The lower, the richer you are since you spend a smaller part of your income on food.

(ex. Someone whose income is 1.000$ per month and spent 250$ on food which is a quarter of their income has an Engel's coefficient of 0,25. Someone whose income is 10.000$ per month and spent 1000$ on food which is a tenth of their income has an Engel's coefficient of 0,10. So although one spends less money on food, the portion of its overall income being spent on food is higher.)
