"Lady Alice, Dear Kitamizato, the ring has been processed.

Manager Taylor brings a ring to the desk where Takeo and the others are sitting.

"And shall I start by making final adjustments to the ring from Lady Alice?

Tired for now.

Taylor speaks out.

"Huh? I can't, all of a sudden.

"Go ahead, Miss Alice.

Takeo gives you the wooden sword that was around.

Alice thinks a little, receives the sword and cuts it to Takeo with one hand.

Takeo activates "Shield x 15" with his left hand and takes it... keeps taking it.

Three minutes have passed.

"... I'm tired.

Alice draws her sword and sits in her seat.

"Now put on the ring.

"Yes."

Alice puts it on her left pinky finger, as she was told.

I put it on but nothing happens.

"Miss Alice, think of it as" beginning to recover "in your head.

"Yes."

Alice thinks "Recovery Begins".

And as soon as I do, I lose my tiredness from Alice's body.

Alice is surprised to see Taylor.

"Looks like it worked.

Now cut to Kitamizato-sama in that state as you did earlier.

Alice cuts into Takeo with one hand.

Takeo activates "Shield x 15" with his left hand and takes it... keeps taking it.

Five minutes have passed.

"I'm not tired.

Alice reports with surprise.

"Miss Alice, think of it as" over recovery "in your head in that state.

"Yes."

Alice thinks "recovery is over".

Three minutes have passed.

"... I'm tired.

Alice draws her sword and sits in her seat.

"You've got a breakthrough.

That said, you won't have a full recovery any time soon, so be careful.

"Okay.

Alice thinks "start healing" as she answers and makes him recover.

"Now, would you like to make adjustments to Kitamizato-sama's ring?

Takeo takes the two he's been doing and turns the new ring back into his left index finger and middle finger.

"For once, we are able to activate the magic name as it was last time - the number of times in a row - the general goal -.

"Okay.

Takeo concentrates on his left hand and thinks "Lux x 15 left palm activated".

My left hand glows.

"We've done the same number of times as we do now. Next.

Takeo went to x20, x25, x30, and x35, and x40 was not activated.

"Looks like 35 is the upper limit.

Takeo tells Taylor.

"Okay. That sounds good.

So shall we make some concurrent magic adjustments?

Taylor had brought a bucket at some point.

Takeo nodded, "1 x Aqua, 1 x Fire, activated left palm".

Hot water comes out of my hands.

"Yes, this one sounds good too.

Taylor says in a whiny manner.

"How much is it?

"So, with the cost of the ring and the cost of processing... five pieces of silver, right?

Takeo makes payments.

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

A customer came into the store in the evening.

"Welcome, Mr. Frederick.

Manager Taylor says hello.

"Excuse me.

"Thank you, Frederick.

"Good day, Mr. Frederick.

Takeo and the others greet each other.

"Oh? Miss Alice, Lady Takeo, was it this way?

"Yeah, because I wanted to go home with someone who came to pick it up.

"Was I?

Manager Taylor, is your coat ready?

"Yes, please wait.

Manager Taylor goes to one end and gets his coat.

"I'll be here.

Place three coats on the desk.

Frederick is going to check the contents.

"We can also charge you for your coat in bulk here.

Um, seven pieces of gold in three coats, five pieces of silver, three pieces of silver in reinforced coats, and five pieces of silver in five sets +1 collar stamps.

So the total will be 8 pieces of gold and 3 pieces of silver.

"Okay.

Frederick finished the settlement and when he received the package, Takeo and Alice also took their seats and left the store.

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

The three had come as soon as they reached the Elvis mansion.

"Lady Alice, Master Takeo, what have you been up to that time?

Frederick asks.

"I was new to the ring.

Miss Alice, you bought one of the rings, too.

"Master Takeo has chosen me.

"Ho, that was nice of you.

"It's cold sweating.

"Hehe, that would be good too.

"Yeah.

I'll have to make pudding for Smith Boy when I get home.

"Do you have any hobbies?

"What do you think... um... do you even wear whipped cream?

"Master Takeo, ho... what is cream?

Alice is interested and asks.

"It's whipped cream.

Mr. Frederick, do you know butter?

"Yeah, it's a solid thing you can do from freshly removed milk, right?

"Do you get it?

"... one end, let's go back to the city.

I have an idea.

"Miss Alice, I'll stop by for a moment.

"I would go anywhere for something delicious.

The three of them turned back to the city to find ingredients.
