Chapter 76: Seiryu Ring

The Elder ordered his two attendants.

[Itchy, Scratchy, go and get some of our people to carry the Holy Armors. Then, bring the “Seiryu Ring” here.]

[Understood.]

The two bowed their heads before pounding their fists on the ground.

Thereupon, a hole opened in the ground and the two disappeared into it.

[We have a wonderful present for you, Yahagi-dono.]

[No, no, you don’t have to worry about it.]

[That won’t do, that won’t do. The Sacred Armors are to be the Gnomes’ greatest treasure. I wouldn’t feel comfortable if we did not return the favor.]

Soon, many Gnomes appeared at the Yahagi Onsen.

[Elder, we heard you acquired the Legendary Holy Armors!?]

[Oh, that armor Elder is wearing, isn’t that the Holy Armor of Shakashaka, she who was known as the strongest knight!?]

Everyone looked equally excited.

[Umu, there are others here too. Holy Bow Yoichi, Lion King Arion, all the other pieces of the Holy Armor are also here. Let’s get them into the treasure hall right away.]

The Gnomes were so excited as they carried the boxes of Only One Gums away.

[I’ll be the one carrying Lion King Arion. You carry the Northern Sea Crab’s Mask.]

[Oi, stop fooling around!]

As it seemed that every product has the popular and unpopular ones, the Gnomes argued over who should carry what.

It seems that Humans and Gnomes are the same in this respect.

[Now then, Yahagi-dono.]

While I was idly watching the Gnomes, the Elder spoke to me.

[Just as we had talked earlier, please accept our gratitude.]

Itchy and Scratchy were working together to carry a thick ring.

It has a greenish luster like jade and looks very charming.

[This is a magic item called Seiryu Ring. Feel free to try it on.]

It didn’t look like a cursed ring to me, so I did as I was told and put it on my finger.

[How do you like it?]

[Arehh? My body somehow suddenly feels much more at ease......]

I look at the Seiryu Ring shining on my finger.

[Hey, Michelle, I wanna try the effect of the ring, but you mind if I massage you?]

[I’m fine with it...... Should I take off my jacket?]

[No, it’s just a palm massage.]

I feel that perhaps even that much was already enough to regulate the flow of mana.

Holding the palm she held out to me, I started giving her a gentle massage using the thumbs of both my hands.

[Ahh......]

A seductive sigh leaks out of Michelle’s lips.

[How does it feel? Does it feel good?]

[Unnn...... Even though I’m just having my palms pressed, it feels like toxins accumulating in my body are being released. My mana is flowing smoothly, and right now, it seems like I can perform magic operations more easily than usual.]

The effect seems to be immediate.

[In that case, I guess I can also open a massage parlor.]

[What does that mean?]

[I’ll give the rookies cheap magic massages. In that case, everyone’s physical and magical abilities would likely increase, right? They’ll definitely love it.]

[Y- You can’t!]

Michelle’s face turning red, she opposed it with all her might.

[Why?]

[I can’t stand the idea of Yuusuke touching other girls! No, even if they’re boys, I will still not allow it. Yuusuke and Regal doing such......]

I’d like it if you’d stop with such delusions.]

[Oi, oi, it’s just a normal massage. Moreover, you’re even against me giving guys massages......]

[If I said you can’t, you caaaaan’t!]

I can’t massage not only Merle and Mira, but also Regal?

Geez, it can’t be helped then......

[Alright, I’ll only give Michelle my massages.]

[......Really?]

[Yeah, only Michelle gets the special treatment.]

When I said this, Michelle, teary-eyed, nodded strongly in agreement.

Good grief, I guess I’ll never be able to become a masseuse.

it can’t be helped, I’ll continue living as a Dagashi Shopowner as I have until now.
