Chapter 169.2. Hatsumode!
“…… There’s one that costs 1 million yen.”
“If this charm lives up to its performance, the [Barrier] will be useful and quite affordable.”
“It would normally cost ten times as much! Maybe it’s because of the New Year prices?”
“Yeah, during the New Year, prices are usually higher than the market value.”
“But it’s cheaper than last year, right?”
“A large quantity of materials has been sent from Tokyo. My Aburage family is busy. Tamamo is also helping with the creation of magic tools.”
“Oh, Tamamo-chan can make magic tools?”
“Yeah, they’re beginner-level magic tools, but I’m making them together with Kon-chan!”
I envy her. I can create magic tools in games, but I also want to make useful magic tools in this world.
“The adventure guild in the Tokyo area is quite popular now. They are based in Kamakura and are hunting down monsters like crazy.”
“Yeah, that’s right. Monsters in Tokyo range from plant types to spider types. They’re worth a lot. The silver spider’s thread can fetch a high price.”
While peering into the charms from the side, Kongo-neesan and the carefree Martini-san teach me with envious voices.
We can use silver spider thread for various things, not just clothing. The same goes for Treant’s wood. We can use it for plant-based paper, and a high-quality material for magic staff. Fruits are also expensive, and there many abandoned magic tools in the buildings submerged in Tokyo.
It’s a huge dungeon, created by the Druids, with a fox-marked antidote barrier and cheap substitute talismans used by adventurers to conquer it.
Therefore, even the charms seem to influence the dungeon conquest. But I wonder if ordinary people can afford them at this price.
“I’ll go with this one!”
No matter which one I choose, it doesn’t mean much to my game specification.
So, I decided to buy the [Safe Childbirth] charm. It was reasonably priced at 1,500 yen.
After finishing the prayers and heading home, Yamiyo asked me.
“What did you wish for, Mii-sama?”
“What about you, Yamiyo-chan?”
“I wished to be in the same class as Mii-sama this year.”
“Tamamo too! I wished to be in the same class as you, Em-chan.”
Yamiyo smiled and tilted her head, while Tamamo, in her kimono, spun around like a ballet dancer.
Both of them are so cute, and it makes me smile too.
“Of course, we’ll be together too!”
“…Don’t worry. We’ll be in the same class. Yamiyo will make arrangements.”
.
“We’ll be together forever, right?”
Hoku-chan and the others also said they wanted to be in the same class, which made me very happy. Sei-chan made a suspicious comment, but I’ll ignore it.
Tomorrow and the day after, there will be New Year parties. It’s a bit troublesome, but it will be fun since everyone will be together on the third day’s party.
New Year’s Day ended peacefully in this way.
Mii-chan had a peaceful day.
Even after returning home, Papa and the others were busy.
It is midnight. Everyone is asleep, and Mii-chan was drowsy but had moved to My Room.
She sat on the sofa and crossed her slender arms, wearing a serious expression.
Freya, who brought a brazier, was watching the mochi being grilled intently.
Grandpa Odin had been typing something on his computer with a troubled expression since the battle with Nagalaja.
Frigg-neesan sat next to Mii-chan and nudged her shoulder as if showing her a drop.
It was a usual scene, as always.
However, the contents sent through telepathy were not the usual.
[Are the infiltrators here ninjas?]
[Yes, they seem to be quite famous operatives.]
Nimue appeared on the hologram. The blue-haired beauty nodded with a serious expression.
She made the intruders confess their identities before handing them to the warriors. She’s quite a convenient magician.
“I understand that, but… the next problem is.”
Muttering to herself, she put her hand on her chin and furrowed her brows.
[Killing them all would be straightforward, but should we?]
[There are some arrogant nobles involved. The client is unknown. One of the people who remained on the ship that was docked at the port was Nidhogg’s operative, and he said the same thing]
[I see… Frigg-neesan, do you have no idea who the client is?]
I tilted my head and looked puzzled.
“No way. They seem to be hiding it well. They are requesting disposable nobles.”
“I see… It seems the enemy is quite capable if they can avoid detection from Frigg-nee-san’s information network.”
“Yes, that seems to be the case. But, conversely, there are things we can infer precisely because it’s not clear. Based on the fact that the Washizu family is using the warehouse at the port, I assume they are involved. They believe they won’t get caught, so they still plan to hold a New Year party. And judging from the involvement of many nobles, it seems they underestimated young lady.”
Frigg teased as she sat next to me, but she was probably right.
“They believe we can’t fight back even if we resort to force…”
That’s also an absolute weakness that Papa, who is not a wizard, cannot overcome. And it also means that the current head, Takano Miu, is being underestimated.
Now that they are keeping Grandpa Kazamichi away, they must believe they can launch an attack.
I have some strong people as our guards, but people will only treat them as bodyguards.
Well, Mii-chan should show them her cool side soon.
But dealing with this situation is harder than fighting gods. That’s annoying.
