The Man Picked Up By the GodsReboot CH 89

A merchant was enacting a short play to attract customers.

“You can get it for just….

20,000 suits!” [Merchant]

As soon as the merchant said that, the customers distanced themselves.

“Its not overpriced.

Crafting a magic tool requires an artisan to know enchantment magic as well as the spell he wishes to imbue his tool with.

In other words, its not possible to enchant a tool with a spell one doesnt know of.

And with dimension magic being one of the hardest disciplines, there arent many magic tool artisans out there that can enchant a tool with a spell of its type; hence, the price tag.

But that quiver and the farming tools you bought just a while ago are meant to be used for several years.

So, while they might seem expensive at first, they are more than worth it considering how long they last.” [Serge]

I see.

“The young master over there.

Are you interested in magic Why dont you take a look at my selection” [Merchant]

At the store of the man that called out was a pile of metal rods and books bound together with a string.

“Teaching materials for magic.

The books can give information on theory, while the magic tool can invoke said magic and allow the student to have a better grasp of the image needed.

But, these arent published by the magicians guild.” [Serge]

“I know perfectly well that it is legal to produce ones own instructional sets and sell them, but without the certification of the guild, there is no knowing whether the instructional materials provided can be trusted.

Even if the spell is the same, theres no way to know whether the example provided by the magic tool and interpretation are correct.

Unless of course youre willing to let us test the tool and read the book first.” [Serge]

“That wont do.

Let us go, Ryouma-sama.” [Serge]

“Indeed.

Thats why it makes me so happy when Im able to find a good product or a promising individual… Oh Ryouma-sama, look at that.” [Serge]

When I followed Serge-sans gaze, I saw Dinome-san, whom we met yesterday.

He was under a huge tent and was gaving orders to his daughter and a young man, who seemed to be his disciple.

“I was thinking of greeting him and talking to him about our discussion yesterday.” [Serge]

“Doesnt seem to be the case.

Look.” [Serge]

When I took another look, I noticed that a small child was clinging to his legs.

And then after Dinome-san finished giving orders, he immediately went to seat on a wooden box and started patting his kid.

He was completely in doting-grandpa mode.

“So, thats Federe-kun.

He left the customers to his family.

Are you sure he wont get mad if we drop by” [ryouma]

“Hes not that narrow-minded.

And besides, were going there for business.

Hes the sort of guy wholl lend you an ear as long as hes not in the middle of work.

By the way, you know how to make a sound-concealing barrier, right Can you use that” [Serge]

Its related to me too, so I dont really have any reason to refuse.

When we went to the tent, the disciple noticed us and nodded to us.

“Hmm Master! And Ryouma too! Welcome.

Look, this is my grandchild, Federe, who I spoke to you about.

What do you think Hmm” [Dinome]

“Hello.

Im Ryouma.” [Ryouma]

“Dinome-dono, Ive seen how cute your grandchild is now.

Actually, I have something Id like to talk to you about.” [Serge]

“Huh You shouldve said so earlier then.

Follow me.” [Dinome]

Dinome-san led Serge-san to a corner of the tent where some chairs were.

That area is probably meant for resting.

Its not very spacious, but it should be more than enough if theyre just going to talk.

For some reason, though, Federe-kun was holding onto my clothes.

“Dont mind me.

I can talk to Dinome-san by myself.

Go ahead and play.” [Serge]

“Talking with us will just bore you.

Go ahead.

Have fun.” [Dinome]

Its probably safe to leave the negotiations to Serge-san.

But before playing with Federe-kun, I did as we planned and put up a sound-concealing barrier.

“Yes.

With this no one will be able to eavesdrop on you.

Ill go play with Federe-kun now.” [Ryouma]

Dinome-san was a little shocked at my display, but I left him and went outside the barrier with Federe-kun.

The tent was the same as before.

“Shiritori (Word-chain game)! Lets start with thegu from magic tools (mahou dougu).

It seems the rules are no different from Earths.

Like that we started playing Shiritori.

We started playing Shiritori, but…

“I lost… Alright one more time.

Lets start from Gu again!” [Federe]

“Alright !” [Ryouma]

How long are we supposed to do this Ive been winning once every three times, but this is already my 15th victory.

I havent been keeping count, but Im pretty sure weve already played more than 40 times and for over 2 hours already.

Ive spent all my words already.

He seems to be enjoying himself, though, so I guess its fine

“Thanks for keeping him company.

And sorry too for troubling you.

Here.” [Dinomes Daughter]

“Thank you.” [Ryouma]

The daughter handed me a drink, and I was able to quench my thirst with a cold fruit juice.

“Ryouma, fromGu.” [Federe]

“Hey.

Let him rest already.” [Daughter]

“Its fine, really.” [Ryouma]

Im all refreshed now, after all.

I can still keep on going.

“Really Arent you fed up with it already Dad would happily go along with it, but…” [Daughter]

I cant hear Serge-san and Dinome-san because of the barrier, but from the looks of things, they were still happily talking.

They would look at me from time to time, though.

I wonder if negotiations are going poorly.

Either way I shouldnt try to interfere.

“Ryouma,Gu!” [Federe]

“Oh, right.

‘Gray (Gurei) Wolf (Urufu)” [Ryouma]

“Federe [1]!” [Federe]

It seems its okay to use your own name.

We clashed three more times after that.

“Again! FromGu!” [Federe]

“You really like Shiritori, huh.” [Ryouma]

But when I said that—

“Not really.” [Federe]

—Federe denied it.

“Huh …You hate Shiritori” [Ryouma]

“I dont hate it, but I dont like it either.” [Federe]

“Huh So what is it that you want to do” [Ryouma]

“I want to go outside! But mom says I shouldnt go outside, and I dont have any toys either, so I just play Shiritori!” [Federe]

…So the reason he keeps playing Shiritori is because he doesnt have anything else to do.

I wish Id asked him earlier.

But in that case…

“Then, want to play another game” [Ryouma]

“Sure!” [Federe]

“Excuse me.

Can I borrow that trashcan [Ryouma]

“This Sure.” [Daughter]

“Thank you.” [Ryouma]

I took a cloth from my Item Box and stretched it out over the trash can, then I fixed it into place with a string.

“What are you going to do with that” [Federe]

“This is a stage…Ever heard ofBeigoma (spinning tops)” [Ryouma]

Im sure any Japanese would recognize that name, but Im not so sure about the children of this world.

Actually, scratch that.

Im not even sure anymore if even Japanese children can still recognize the name, but at the very least, it was popular when I was young.

The spinning top is supposed to be made with lead, but the tops I have with me are made from iron since I made them yesterday along with my other magic tools.

I have two spinning tops and two strings.

I placed those atop the stage, while Federe closely watched.

He didnt know what I was up to, but he looked interested.

“This is how you play… HOI!” [Ryouma]

“AH!” [Federe]

Its been a long time, but my body still remembers.

I threw the spinning top and it drew a circle around the stage until it eventually gathered at the center.

“Its spinning!” [Federe]

“Give it at try.

Ill teach you.” [Ryouma]

“Teach me! Teach me!” [Federe]

“Lets start with how to wind the top.”

I did the best I could to make everything simple for Federe-kun, but it seems to be too difficult for a 4-year-old kid, as he kept failing.

I handed him a top thats been winded already before he lost interest.

“This is how you throw it.

Like this!” [Ryouma]

“Let me try! …Ah.” [Federe]

“You have to put more strength into it when pulling.” [Ryouma]

I stood between the stage and the store just in case he made a mistake.

This way, even if the top is thrown poorly, there wont be any damages.

Federe-kun continued training how to wind up the top and throw it, and eventually…

“Sorry to keep you waiting.” [Serge]

“Federe~ Grandpa is finally done with work~” [Dinome]

Serge-san and Dinome-san finally left the barrier.

“Gramps!” [Federe]

“Serge-san.

How was it” [Ryouma]

“Everything went fine.

Dinome-dono accepted the conditions you brought up last night.” [Serge]

“I see.

Thank you very much, Serge-san, Dinome-san.” [Ryouma]

“Dont mention it.

This is an equal trade.

We get to make some profit and you get to avoid some needless trouble.

Although, how muchfavorable treatment I can give you will depend on how much of a profit your magic tool will be able to bring us.

You can drop by to get advice on magic tools as long as Im not in the middle of work.

Drop by the store whenever you need to.” [Dinome]

“I look forward to working with you.” [Ryouma]

“Same.” [Dinome]

“Grandpa, wind this up!” [Federe]

“Oh~ What is this~ …No, really.

What is this Boss, do you know what this is” [Dinome]

“A torunero” [Serge]

“Its a spinning top.

Whats a torunero” [Ryouma]

“A wooden toy that looks like this, but its a lot bigger and has a rod in the middle.

You play it by holding the rod with both hands and turning it like this.” [Serge]

Serge-san made a gesture like when one makes a taketonbo fly [2].

“This toy is a bit different.

You wind it up with a string like this and, then throw it like this!” [Ryouma]

“Oh~” [Dinome]

“So it is a kind of torunero.

Toruneros vary from region to region, so is this how they do it where youre from, Ryouma-sama” [Serge]

“Yes.” [Ryouma]

“So, this is how people from the Great Shurus Forest do things…” [Serge]

“Wind it up.

Wind it up.” [Federe]

“Hey, Ryouma.

Am I doing it right” [Dinome]

“Huh” [Ryouma]

Huh.

Dinome-san doesnt know doesnt the toy, but he knows how to wind it up

“Yes.

Thats right.” [Ryouma]

“And then you throw it like this, right!” [Dinome]

“Ah, yes…” [Ryouma]

“Its spinning!” [Dinome]

Dinomes spinning top was spinning wonderfully atop the stage.

“You know this toy” [Ryouma]

“No I just copied what you did when you wound it up yourself and threw it.

How long do you think Ive been living on these fingers of mine Something on this level is childs play!” [Dinome]

“Grandpa is amazing!” [Federe]

“Really~ Thank you~” [Dinome]

I think hes amazing too, but hes back to doting-grandpa mode again as soon as his grandchild praised him.

…Might as well give them both spinning tops.

“You sure you dont mind giving these to us” [Dinome]

“Yes.

Please teach Federe-kun how to play.

Once youre both able to play, you can also throw both tops and have them clash against each other.

Federe-kun, you want to play with grandpa too, right” [Ryouma]

“Yeah!!” [Federe]

“I see, I see! Then Ill happily accept it.

As thanks… Are you free tonight” [Dinome]

“Yes.” [Ryouma]

“In that case, why you dont drop by Were going to have an awesome party after the fair.” [Dinome]

An invitation to a closing party, huh.

Which means that well have a relationship after this too.

That being the case, I accepted his invitation.

Like this I ended up making a connection with a magic tool artisan.

[1] – Federe is spelled as フェデーレ, which uses afu with a smalle to make afe.

Still counts it seems since the first character is afu.
