Chapter 92

Thank you for reporting the typo!

I was delighted for a moment, thinking there were no typos, but then came a torrent of criticism! I can't believe I'm enjoying the S-side of the unforgiving reader!

No, I'm reflecting and will do better!

Good morning.

The weather today is clear.

It has been three months since I first bought the cursed magical item.

During this time, I went to town every weekend and, as Mr. Kail said, visited the secondhand magical item shops myself, and was introduced to several stores.

I have almost finished visiting all the secondhand magical item shops in the capital.

Some of them were clearly suspicious, and some tried to rip me off.

But I didn't get cheated or overcharged, thanks to Digré, the son of the kingdom's top trading company!

His negotiation skills and communication abilities were outstanding!

The number of magical items I obtained: two hundred.

I'm not sure if that's a lot or a little, but it shows how many reckless adventurers there were.

Chief Tailsmya was busy being angry, exasperated, and depressed.

Of the two hundred magical items, half were storage-type, and the rest were equally divided between defensive, offensive, and miscellaneous items.

Among the miscellaneous items, there were some that were really useful and some that were meaningless.

A magical item that makes you look handsome for a moment when you're conscious— who needs that?

A hand mirror that makes you look beautiful, or knee pads that make you taller for thirty minutes— do they have any meaning?

I could understand the desire to modify such functions, though.

The useful ones included communication magical ear cuffs, a mask that automatically translates, a telescope, and a megaphone shell.

The ribbon that makes you ten years younger was taken by Queen Leetria, the flying wooden horse by the twin princes, and the medal that makes your skin feel soft by Princess Cremona.

The high-defense, magical girl-like wand was sent to Anneliese, who is on a journey.

I left the self-repairing sword and the portable whetstone that restores the sharpness of any sword to Arshain, the unbreakable baton and the white rod that doesn't interfere with magic to Eugram, and the wristband with a storage capacity like a gymnasium and a time-stop function to Digré, and the belt pouch with a freezing and refrigeration storage function to Shell.

Jyosu received the self-repairing coat and pants.

I didn't really want anything in particular, but I took a few items that looked like junk.

A week after sending them, I received a long thank-you letter from Anneliese.

Her diet seems to be going well.

She also seems to be receiving muscle-brain education.

Are you okay, Princess?

Now that I've finished visiting the secondhand magical item shops in the capital, it's time for serious physical enhancement training!

I've been training every day after school, but the results haven't been good.

Except for Mr. Kail, who is an intellectual yakuza, everyone has successfully circulated magic throughout their bodies, but they can't circulate it fast enough to raise their body temperature.

Today, on the weekend, I'll spend the whole day training.

"Whoa!"

"Hey, you're being too noisy! You're trying too hard, which is why you can't do it!"

Mr. Kail, who is bad at manipulating magic, is trying to circulate magic while making strange battle cries, but it just swirls around his stomach, which is completely meaningless.

Jyosu and I are working on further improving physical enhancement.

Instead of just strengthening muscles, we want to enhance our entire body and physical abilities. We tried various methods, circulating magic throughout our bodies while wishing for strength and making it swirl at high speed.

I couldn't tell, but Jyosu's body, which was circulating magic in the same way, started to glow a faint red from the inside.

Surprised, I looked at my own hands and saw that they were glowing white.

In that state, when I moved my body lightly, it moved smoothly, surprisingly.

Last time, I got out of breath halfway, but this time, I didn't even get short of breath.

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!!"

We ran around the training ground without restraint.

The feeling was so good that we couldn't stop laughing.

At one point, Jyosu ran out of magic and suddenly collapsed, which was a shock, but it was a success!

When you succeed, your body glows like an aura, making it easy to tell.

Jyosu has red magic, so if he can reduce waste, he might be able to go a bit longer.

I have unlimited magic, so I'm invincible!

According to Chief Tailsmya's analysis, the color of the glow indicates the most refined magic attribute at the current level.

Running around all morning without getting tired, and even improving my cardiovascular function, the new physical enhancement is complete!

I don't mind the slightly resentful looks people give me when they see me!

I just give them a smug look and say, "You should catch up to me soon!"

Recently, I've been visiting secondhand magical item shops all over the capital, so I've been eating lunch at cafes in town. Thanks to Digré's family's trading company, I can now eat meat at slightly upscale restaurants.

However, from today, I'm back to eating at the school cafeteria.

The cafeteria staff are working hard, but I haven't finished a meal yet.

Since Jyosu is exhausted, we can't make our own food.

Heading to the cafeteria with a slightly low mood, I noticed a couple being overly affectionate in the middle of the cafeteria.

It was Cavendish and a female student I saw fall in the snow and get her butt wet.

Since this is a school attended by many nobles, the tables are spaced out, but the two had moved their chairs to sit very close together, and the young ladies' gazes were very cold.

The former president was sitting in front of the female student, looking annoyed at the couple.

He's calmer than a two-timing girl, but it looks like a new two-timing girl drama is starting.

Should I change the cast and present it to you?

Passing by them with a sideways glance, while waiting for my order, I overheard a conversation:

"Ah, those two have been close lately. The former president also goes out of his way to bother them. I hope it doesn't end up like the former holy maiden."

"He will surely be more restrained. The principal has warned him directly that he will be expelled if he causes another problem."

"His parents also contacted him, and he received a severe lecture during the break."

"Is that so? He doesn't look like he's being restrained."

"Hmm, and that female student doesn't seem to mind either. She's a transfer student, right? She has a spirit attached."

"Is that so? I didn't know, as I don't have any friends in F-class."

"I don't have any friends in F-class either, but it's just a rumor. She's not as flashy as the former holy maiden, but she always has two people serving her. The young ladies' gazes are very scary, but the teachers have told her not to provoke them, so she hasn't been given any special attention."

"If a commoner's girlfriend is approached by a high-ranking noble who is only beautiful on the surface, it's understandable that she would get upset."

"Exactly! That's right!"

Digré and Shell laughed at Eugram's sarcasm.

Our food arrived, so we finished eating and headed to the training ground without showing any interest in the three.

We spent the afternoon training, took baths, and then went to the cafeteria.

The same three people were being affectionate in the same spot.

Aren't they moving? How idle are they?

Ignoring them, I headed to my usual seat at the end.

I usually put up a barrier to prevent people from bothering me in the cafeteria, with a recognition-blocking and soundproof barrier. However, when something happens that disrupts the entire cafeteria, I can sometimes feel the air ripple through the barrier.

Feeling a ripple through the barrier, I noticed that everyone's gaze was directed at the center of the cafeteria.

Turning off the soundproof function, I heard that Eliza, who had passed by Cavendish's table, had been splashed with soup by the female student sitting with Cavendish.

If it was an accident, an apology would have been enough, but she was making excuses, saying it wasn't her fault, her skirt had touched, and it wasn't her fault, without apologizing.

When Eliza saw her attitude and tried to walk away, Cavendish started a fuss, saying, "What's your attitude?"

It's a trivial reason, but since Eliza is currently being bothered, I can't ignore it.

Arshain sighed and stood up, and I followed him.

On a day off, Eliza's skirt was covered in a thick soup.

A waiter with a mop was nearby but couldn't approach to clean up because Cavendish was making a scene.

Ignoring Cavendish, I approached Eliza and cast a cleaning spell on her soiled skirt.

Everyone was surprised by the instantly clean skirt and floor, but I returned to Arshain's side without a word.

"Cavendish, what are you making a fuss about? You're bothering everyone. Why don't you lower your voice?"

"What are you talking about! This is none of your business! Don't meddle!"

"If you don't want to be meddled with, you shouldn't be making such a loud fuss."

"This is none of your business! You don't know the situation, so don't talk to me like you're superior!"

"That young lady spilled soup on Eliza's skirt, didn't she?"

"It was an accident!"

"Then an apology would suffice, but you're only making excuses and not apologizing. Eliza tried to walk away without getting angry, but Cavendish started a fuss, didn't he?"

Cavendish finally understood the situation as it was calmly and objectively explained to him.

He was speechless, unable to argue.

"Prince Arshain, Mr. Keita, thank you for your help."

Eliza bowed deeply.

"Don't worry about it. I was the only one who could reprimand my brother here. Even though the stain is gone, it was still a misfortune."

"Yes, from now on, I will avoid places where these people are!"

Arshain and Eliza were completely ignoring Cavendish and the others, signaling to everyone that getting involved was a waste of time.

However,

"Ah, ah, ah! It really was an accident! Our hands just touched, and this person happened to pass by!"

"Whatever the reason, if the first words to the victim are not an apology, they have no value. I don't understand why you need to make excuses to me."

Arshain said this dismissively, and the female student, after looking surprised, apologized to Eliza in a whisper.

Arshain, seeing this, quickly returned to his seat, and Eliza quickly moved to her friend's table.

After they left, Cavendish was red-faced and fuming, and the female student seemed lost in thought.

Getting involved with them doesn't feel like it will end well.

Thank you for your detailed feedback!

Although my work is clumsy and has many flaws, I will do my best!
