Chapter 91

Thank you for your feedback!

It's a rare morning without any reports of typos!

I'm very grateful, and I'm reflecting, but why do I feel unsatisfied (・ε・)

Good morning.

Today's weather is overcast.

After that, we talked and decided that the king, who had heard about the performance of the cursed magical item, would prioritize it over the meeting between Princess Cremona and Ingrid's fiancé this weekend, so we decided to buy as many as we could find and, until this weekend, we spent our time peacefully.

Not everyone has a shop, so if we don't collect them this month, we don't know when we'll find them again!

After school, I did physical enhancement training, but the results were not great.

Until I can use it properly, I'm holding off on reporting to the castle.

Tailsmiya Chief said it's hard to explain something I can't use myself.

So today, on my day off, I'm in town to get the magical items.

The same shopkeeper was at the same place, dressed the same, selling different magical items.

"Hey, welcome. Thank you for buying so much last week. So, you're here to buy more today?"

"Hello! That's right, I got hooked on the fun of magical items!"

To Diggory's light response, the shopkeeper smiled like a child satisfied with the results of a prank,

"Be moderate, and choose your targets carefully, or I'll have to deal with grudges."

Or something like that.

Rather than mentioning the original performance.

When Diggory pointed to the cursed items on display and cheerfully asked about their effects, they included:

- Rotating every few meters

- Uncontrollable sneezing

- Farting when nervous

- The right shoulder can't move

- Suddenly running five times a day

- Losing strength in the legs for half a day

I bought various items with such prank effects.

I didn't ask about their original performance.

If the curse is completely removed, the performance might change.

We visited other shops and ended up buying about thirty magical items.

Payment this time was all in Arlshein.

Diggory noted the buyback prices, so we plan to buy from Arlshein the items we can keep after unsealing, based on the buyback prices.

Dangerous items will go to the castle.

The shops all looked puzzled at us buying all the cursed magical items, which rarely sell, but treated us like rich noble boys' hobbies, given Arlshein's noble aura, Eulgram's refined manner, Diggory's mischievous face, and Shelle's servant-like stance, and the way the assistant was on guard around us.

I was being carried by Arlshein the whole time and eating a sweet potato I bought, so I was probably seen as a younger brother and ignored.

We had lunch at a café and headed to the academy.

To Tailsmiya Chief's office.

When I showed the results of unsealing the cursed magical items we bought last week, he was very interested. When I told him we would be going again this week, he said, "Please show me!" So Diggory negotiated to unseal them in Tailsmiya Chief's office.

We can't do it where people can see us!

When we arrived at the room, there was only Professor Kail, the intellectual yakuza, drinking tea after a meal.

"Hey, this is Tailsmiya Chief's office, but Professor Kail is relaxing here?"

"He's in the bathroom. So, what did you guys do this time?"

"That's unfair, it's Keta-sama who causes trouble, and we are... involved?"

"This time, it's not Keta-sama's fault! (This time, it's not Keta-sama's fault!)"

"Sure, but you're still causing trouble, right?"

"Beep beep"

"Oh, everyone, I kept you waiting, didn't I?"

Tailsmiya Chief returned to the room.

"Then, let's get started."

Diggory said, and I took out the magical items we bought and lined them up on the table.

The Evil Eye, which I received from God a long time ago, has finally become familiar, and it seems that Arlshein, Tailsmiya Chief, and the assistant can see the cursed magical items on the table as faintly black and wriggling.

"Ah, yes, they are indeed cursed. Keta-sama, can you unseal them right away?"

"Sure thing"

Quickly! The curses aren't that strong, so when I wrap them in a barrier and fill it with holy magic, the wriggling disappears immediately.

Then, I appraised them.

I divided the thirty-four magical items into several groups.

"This is storage, this is defense, this is attack, this is miscellaneous (This is storage, this is defense, this is attack, this is miscellaneous)"

When I explained each group, everyone picked up the items they were interested in.

The storage items mostly have specific uses.

The defense items can protect against several types of poison, paralysis, and sleep.

The attack items can cast powerful magic several times.

The miscellaneous items vary. Some are for capturing, some are for movement, some make hair beautiful, and some keep the body clean.

"Wow, I've never even glanced at cursed magical items before, but now that they've been successfully unsealed, there are so many with amazing performance. I've been blind to this!"

Tailsmiya Chief said regretfully.

The attack, defense, and capture magical items will go to the castle.

Diggory took a few of the storage items that seemed useful, and the movement device caught the interest of the intellectual yakuza, Professor Kail, and we discussed what to do with the rest.

When we tried the magical item that makes hair beautiful on Eulgram, it became smooth and silky!

This will go to Ingrid.

It would be good to give it to Eliza as a gift!

I want to see silky drill hair!

The magical item that keeps the body clean will be given to Jandis, the deputy head of the magic bureau, who rarely takes a bath.

The intellectual yakuza, Professor Kail, decided to try the movement device he took.

We went out into the hallway, confirmed that no other students were around, and the device looked like half an egg, a yellow half-oval. When magic power was channeled, it deformed significantly! A cushion appeared that was just right for sitting, and when more magic power was channeled, it floated and shot off somewhere.

We were taken aback.

"Eh? Where did Professor Kail go?"

"He's no longer visible."

"Did he go somewhere at a speed we can't see? Isn't that dangerous? Is the professor okay?"

"………That man is probably fine, but it's probably because he channeled magic power without controlling it."

"Ah, Professor Kail is still bad at controlling magic power."

When everyone had a disappointed look, Professor Kail came back with a thud.

He got off the device without a word,

"I almost died!"

He said, kicking the device, which was hard.

"You're an idiot, channeling magic power without controlling it from the start."

Said the exasperated Tailsmiya Chief, and he had a bitter look on his face,

"It's not for me!"

He said, grabbed me carelessly, and put me on the device.

"Yeah, it suits you!"

As soon as I sat down, it deformed into a smaller, strangely cute vehicle.

It looks like something you'd see at an amusement park.

I gently channeled magic power.

It floated and moved smoothly at a height suitable for Arlshein and the others.

When I channeled a bit more magic power, it accelerated and I thought it would hit the wall, but it made a U-turn.

It has automatic brakes.

And a barrier is automatically activated during movement.

What high-tech. Control is just a matter of will.

When I returned to everyone at a moderate speed, Eulgram, with a blank face, was excited and said it was cute, and everyone agreed that it would be mine.

I don't need it since I can fly on my own, but I'll use it for daily movement!

Sora and Haku seemed to like it, so it's fine.

We returned to the room and took a break with the tea Shelle had made.

"Still, the performance of cursed magical items is amazing. Has there never been anyone who could completely unseal them before? If there were magical items with such performance, they would have been a topic of conversation, wouldn't they?"

"Unfortunately, I've never heard of anyone with Keta-sama's unsealing skills, even in the church. Even my father, the pope, would find it difficult to completely unseal overlapping curses without a lot of time."

"Indeed, it's said that unsealing overlapping curses is impossible without being a cardinal or higher in the church."

"Still, it's strange to try to modify magical items with such amazing performance, isn't it?"

"Yes! That's right! If they were sold as is, they could have brought in a fortune!"

"Adventurers tend to think of things they obtain as their own, so if they get a rare magical item, they want to use it for themselves before selling it."

"Even so, it's meaningless to turn it into a cursed magical item, which drastically reduces its performance!"

"Only B-rank and above can enter dungeons where magical items appear, and those who are confident in themselves don't consider the possibility of failure."

"Thinking about how many magical items have been wasted in the past makes my head hurt."

"Another reason is that famous adventurers succeeded in the past."

"Ah, if they can do it, I can do it too!"

"But, I've never heard of anyone who gave up modifying and sold them normally after that."

"If I got such high-performance magical items, I would definitely keep them a secret."

"Yeah, that's right!"

"I see, so they keep them secret. Yes, they would be targeted for sure."

"Right. But, while it's a secret that cursed magical items have such secrets and that there is someone who can completely unseal them, we should buy as many as we can! If someone buys so many magical items in just two days, it will become a topic among magical item shops, and if you guys wander around town, you'll be approached eventually."

The intellectual yakuza, Professor Kail, smiled with a bad expression.

His bad expression is quite intimidating!

I was also asked by Tailsmiya Chief to get them.

It seems that we will make it a habit to walk around town on weekends for a while.

The verification took longer than expected, and Arlshein, who couldn't train, was a bit disappointed.

It seems that daily after-school training is not enough.

Serious. Despite his yakuza-like appearance!

After that, I succeeded in adjusting the magic power I channeled into the magical item, and it floated and moved smoothly at the height of Arlshein's shoulders.

We went to the cafeteria, and the commotion we caused was all in good fun.

It was pointed out that it should be "limit removal" rather than "physical enhancement."

In Keta's mind, a housekeeping expert and a father who enjoys child-rearing, there is no such word. If it were Shuuta, the fourth son, he would joyfully shout out middle-school-like skill names and lines, but in Keta's mind, Shuuta's lines are recognized as Shuuta's chirping, so he only remembers the words that come up frequently. What a pity, my brothers.
