Chapter 75: Holy Armor

Chapter 75: Holy Armor

After having pancakes for breakfast, Michelle and I discussed tomorrow’s shopping.

[Should we buy a weapon first? Or perhaps, armor?]

[I don’t need a weapon.]

[Ah, Yuusuke has that 8-shot pistol after all. Besides, if you really needed it, you still have that Legendary Nail Bat.]

[No, no, I told you that was a prize for the customers.]

Even though I own the Dagashi Shop, that doesn’t mean I can just use the prize toys as I pleased.

An example of this was the special prize of Chocolate Bats, “Legendary Nail Bat”.

This is a very useful weapon that inflicts fixed damage, but it can only be owned by those who pull a “Home Run” in the Chocolate Bat lottery.

In the same way, the other lottery toys aren’t allowed to be used as I pleased.

It’s like there’s some sort of magical contract in place.

Of course, if I were to buy an item with my own money and win the lottery, then that item would become my property.

[Then, what if you find something you want in your store?]

[I have to spend my own money until I hit the jackpot. It’d turn out like that so-called “Adults’ Bulk Buying”. Well, I try not to do that though.]

[Why?]

[Because the merchandise are for customers.]

Dagashi Shop Yahagi stocks up goods for the price of my mana.

Naturally, there are limits to my mana, and the amount I can acquire is also proportional to that.

If I spend as much as I want, it’s only natural that I’ll run out of products to circulate to my customers.

Well, there was that time when I bought up all the Monster Card Chisp, but I’d rather not do that again if I can help it.

[If that’s the reason, then you also can’t use these huh.]

Michelle poked at the Seiryu Shield, a Special Prize in the Toy Lottery.

It’s a small round shield, but it’s an excellent shield which could bounce back any three attacks unleashed towards the wielder.

Just like the Murasame Replica, it’s a product that will disappear into dust once its usability charges have been used up.

[There are customers who pull the Toy Lottery aiming for that. There’s no way I can use it.]

[Yuusuke sure is earnest with stuff like that.]

[Rather than earnest, it’s more like I just don’t want to see the sad faces of my customers.]

I don’t want the rookies to come with a bunch of coins in their pockets, only to find that the item they were aiming for isn’t available.

[The Holy Armor is the armor and helmet worn by the Legendary Twelve Holy Knights.]

[No, no, this is just a freebie from a gum......]

[A gum’s freebie? It looks like the armor set worn by War Maiden Shakashaka though......]

Size-wise, it’s the perfect size for a Gnome to wear.

[Elder, would you like to try it on?]

[May I!?]

[Feel free.]

I owe a debt of gratitude to the Gnomes for their purchase of the furniture gacha.

Besides, if they like this armor, they might buy them all up again.

[Itchy, Scratchy, help me put on the armor.]

[Got it, Elder.]

[Leave it to me.]

The Elder closed his eyes quietly as his two attendants helped him put on the Holy Armor.

[Hmmm, it seems like my mana is spreading everywhere...... With my current state, I feel as if I can use the Ultimate Secret Technique passed down among the Gnomes, Monarch’s Sacred Gem......]

(T/N: 天覧宝珠/Tenran Houju)

Seriously!?

I thought it was just a freebie from a gum, but it seems like it’s an awesome treasure for Gnomes.

[Yahagi-dono...... Can we perhaps have everything in your stock?]

[Ah, yes...... With pleasure.]

All of the twelve Only One Gums had been sold.

And since they were only available for a limited time, it seems that they will not be restocked.

With a smile on his lips, the Elder turned to me.

[Thank you again, Yahagi-dono, for selling such treasures to us for just 3600 rims.]

[Well, it’s a fixed price after all......]

Even though they’re special sales, I can’t raise the price.

That’s just the way it is.

[We must express our gratitude for this once again.]

The Elder’s eyes sparkled.

Just like how they did for this onsen, will they tell me a secret of the dungeon once again?
