CH 28

After consulting with the Commercial Guild, I went to the square in front of the cathedral where the morning market was being held.

It was lunchtime and many stalls were already closed, but I bought some meat skewers and ate them with Harry.

They were tasty, but not salty enough.

I took out crazy salt from the item box and sprinkled it on the meat skewers.

After we had eaten, we went to the magic store recommended by Harry.

I heard that magic has attributes, but simple life magic can be learned by purchasing a magic book.

“Let’s check out the attributes first.”

When we get to the magic store, an old woman Harry knows brings crystals.

She is wearing a robe and looks like a real witch.

As Harry and the witch stare, Ginjiro holds up his hand to the crystal, but nothing happens.

“It’s rare, You have no attributes.”

No attributes?　I thought so, but it seems that it is not that I cannot use magic, but that I genuinely have no attributes.

Harry asked me what kind of magic I was interested in using, and when I told him I wanted to use Meteor or Divine Lightning, he rejected the idea as impossible.

Harry said that the recommended life magic is cleaning or light, which is called clean or light.

Well, literally.

Harry squints his eyes at the scroll of magic books hanging on the wall as he selects one for me.

“Maybe Harry has bad eyesight?”

“Hmm? …… maybe not. I don’t know.”

Ginjiro also had bad eyesight before he came to the another world.

Ao, the stray cat, has made him healthy and his eyesight has improved, but he understands the pain.

He gives Harry a pair of black-rimmed glasses he no longer uses from his item box.

I don’t know if they will fit, but try these on.”

Harry did not know what to do with the glasses, so Ginjiro put them on him.

“Wow, I can see.”

Harry is puzzled.

He wonders how his vision get better. But I’m glad the glasses I no longer use are useful.

Harry, who can now see clearly, picks up a copy of Clean and Light from the bookshelf.

“I would recommend either one of these at first.”

The old witch told me that both of them cost 5 small gold coins, which I felt was quite expensive, but in the end I only bought the Clean magic book. (50.000 yen)

“Open this and put it on your forehead. Then you’ll be able to use clean magic. Think about what you want to clean and then say clean.”

Ginjiro gives five small gold coins to the witch clerk and receives the magic book.

Harry also urged him to put it on my forehead, and I was struck by the sensation of something entering my brain.

It was a strange experience, and he said I could use clean magic now.

I immediately said “clean” to a small stain on my shirt, and the stain disappeared cleanly.

“Ohoho, you have surprisingly high magical powers.”

Apparently, the power of life magic increases with the amount of magic puts into it.

I was somewhat pleased to be praised for the magic I used for the first time and my magical power.

I and Harry leave the shop after telling the old witch that we will come to this magic shop again.

After that, we went to the library and asked Harry about history and magic, and at night we ate hamburgers at Hungry Bear.
