Chapter 276

As soon as Mr. Motarike returned to the basement, his skin began to rustle. Millet-Hand Bubble One. Uranus stared at Mr. Bell.

"Bell, it's you."

"Classmate Bell, if you touch classmate Motarike, I will not forgive you."

"……Yes."

An anxious Mr. Bell. I still feel like something is smoldering, but...

How much trouble is it to have two people press this down together?

"Motarike is also weak, so your provocation is not bad.

Do you want your wife to kill you?"

"Hey, Uranus, what do you think I am?"

"A former bandit leader.

What are you saying with such killing intent?

If you don't soften up, even if we fight, you will really kill me!"

"……"

Mr. Bell looked dazed. It is truly terrible that a Nen User cannot control their own aura. Even being ruthless is of no use. Even if severely injured, one cannot go to the hospital.

"I didn't mean to provoke you……"

"You say it's not good like this, both husband and wife are troublesome.

I know what you mean, but watch your words. Is there another way to say it? I hope you have a figure suitable for a model?"

"You say that, I am angry……"

"It is unfair to be angry at a life that hasn't received enough training. It is unfair to Motarike's work.

If you are angry at me because you feel embarrassed being told such things in front of us, I understand."

"……Hmm. Hmm, that's right."

"Sorry…… I didn't think of that."

Mr. Motarike apologized, and Mr. Bell shook his head powerlessly. Oh, Uranus's arbitration was successful. I will do it.

"You two are always arguing, aren't you?

So hurry up and organize your Binder."

"Oh, right. The book."

"The book."

Just like the lies they were arguing about earlier, the two began to organize the Binder while discussing. I think it's always like this...

"Wouldn't it be better to put an Empty Frame on each side?"

"Yes.

Then, can you empty the Empty Pocket on Bell's side?

Motarike will be responsible for the whole card. It's not good to let this guy play cards."

"Don't say unnecessary things……

Okay."

"While you two are sorting the cards, wouldn't it be better for Uranus to use his usual Spell?"

"Fine, okay.

Relax, you two. I will digest the 'Roster' and 'Analysis'. ……And the 'Signpost'. I think this will take some time."

"Yes."

Obtained tools like Painting, Furniture, and Paper Box. Besides that, Uranus used Spells and brushes on his notes. I watched with my siblings.

With Sim's sharp eyes,

"Aisha, are you really okay?

I don't want you to paint a picture for me."

"I don't like it...

After seeing it."

Uranus, it seems you aren't embarrassed. I wonder if it will be the same after the painting is finished. I still don't like it.

Besides me being the model, I also want a photo of Uranus. That would be quite good. The taste is different from a photo. It is said that it is drawn inside, and the character is excellent but the bleeding rainbow is estimated to have come out.

"Phew. I think this is a waste."

"It is a waste.

You, would you rather be a nude model?"

"Please stop such jokes."

"Ah, yes, yes.

It's terrifying, stop looking at me like that. Hey?"

Oops. Don't provoke me when you have the chance, you pervert.

While doing this, the couple's card sorting and the sorting of luggage for Buff items seemed to be finished. Uranus... it looks like it still needs it.

"……

…………

…………Hmm?"

Uranus, who had digested the Spell, made a strange sound.

"What is going on?"

"Ah, yes."

This is no big deal. I am in a hurry, and there is still time.

…………

──【Signpost/Signpost】 activated. 85.

…………。

Oh, I succeeded here too. I am very sorry to have kept you waiting."

Bell nodded,

"I have all 45 slots, and Molly has 20 slots.

I also have five 10,000 Jenny, so I want to deposit them into the Trade Shop."

"We have business at the Trade Shop too, so that is perfect.

I finished my business at the Trade Shop in Antokiba, then flew to Masadora with a Transfer Spell.

After stopping at the Trade Shop in Masadora, I went to buy a Spell Card.

That is the plan, but if you want to go out with me, then get ready to go out."

"Yes, I understand.

I am going to change my clothes, please wait 5 minutes.

Molly, get everyone out. Molly isn't changing clothes, are you?"

"That's right, but..."

I waited outside the house with the dissatisfied-looking student Maotarik for student Bell.

"Hey Motarike.

I would like you to check the players registered in the Binder before it is too late."

"Oh, you say that.

Book."

Uranus picked up Motarike's Binder and placed the Spell Card he had taken out of the Binder onto the last page.

Looking from the side...

Wow, there are so many. It is displayed across the entire screen, so it applies to 100 people. Of course, most players seem to be absent.

After looking at the list for a while, Uranus operated the buttons on the Binder. And all the displayed names changed. The next page? How many people are registered...

"……Board!

Arca, this must be the person."

The player name "Arca" was definitely in the position Uranus was pointing to.

"Motarike, thank you for your help. I was able to confirm it."

"Hm?

That's good, but why don't you contact him?"

"I'm fine for now, I have things to do, but I'm still busy, so I want to contact you later.

When I want to contact you, please help me. Also, on the last page, there is 'Communication', but I would like you to keep it as is for now."

"Hm.

I don't mind, but what exactly is it for?"

"Nostalgia."

Motarike tilted his head at Uranus, who was trying to deceive him. It was a bit hard to explain. It was a security issue, so it was better not to tell them if possible.

After a while, the front door opened.

"Wait~ let's go then."

"Why are you so enthusiastic about your clothes..."

"Casual wear, casual wear."

Bell's clothes were very girlish. Fluffy children's clothing with white as the base. The feet were Fixed with boots. As expected, there is no such thing as casual wear.

The six of us moved to the Trade Shop in Antokiba. That night on the road

"It's been a long time since I've been Together with so many people like this."

"Yes..."

We watched from behind as the couple talked while looking up at the starry sky.

"You might be in the mood for a date, but don't forget we are here."

"I know.

That's why I didn't say there were many.

I used to walk like this a long time ago. It's a bit nostalgic."

"A night of Robbery?"

"At a time like this, you can't walk around openly.

It's like you haven't worked in a while."

Considering what I have heard so far and Bell's personality, I think this might be another very romantic group of thieves. This is very different from other thieves.

"I heard from Uranus...

Bell, you used to change art often in the past, right?

Why?"

"Hm.

If you just want to steal it, it would certainly be easier if you steal it quickly.

In that case, it's obvious who stole it, and if a scene is made, it will be troublesome later."

"If you swap it, it's very hard to make a Discovery."

"I heard about it from Uranus.

... But I want to know if Forgery is that easy. If you have the real thing on hand and imitate it, that's fine."

"Is there a problem, Molly?"

"I want to know if it depends on the degree...

Actually, Painting isn't that hard either. I wish I had a close-up photo. If it's a famous Painting, it's usually all over the world.

If it's a 3D object, a photo would be difficult. If you have a video taken from all around and from above and below, you can manage it."

... Hmm, I guess so. It's already been determined that pottery and statues are harder to imitate than Painting.

"First of all, there are good and bad artworks.

If a work is too good as an artwork, it will be discovered, so you have to intentionally make it bad.

... It's quite stressful. I think it would be better if I did it this way."

More and more. Does it create a mindset of 'I want to paint normally, no Forgery'?

"Hmm.

Artists who can do it have different ways of saying it."

"Is that what the person who made you do it said...

First, didn't you learn the technique of Forgery?"

"Mine is a hobby.

The evaluation was given to me by Mom, so I am at a professional level.

Naturally, Molly, who specializes in Forgery, as the Leader, is always better than just forging."

"... If you get caught doing bad things, your life will be threatened.

I will die when that happens."

"Hehe, that's right.

This is an artwork made by Molly, so even a fake is not bad. I can't brag that it's not an original.

When I replace various artworks, Molly's works end up being exhibited in many museums as famous artworks.... Is it fun?"

It can be seen that Maochi is trembling slightly.

This is also one of the reasons why I don't want to return to reality. Of course, if you imagine the time when the crime is exposed, you will naturally be afraid.

Beside him, Uranus crosses his arms, pondering something.

"Are you going to put the stolen artworks on the black market?"

"Mostly right.

Even if it's stolen goods, as long as I can find someone to buy them, I will sell them directly.

When enough time has passed after the replacement, it will be sold, claiming that it is the real thing.

Claiming that the one exhibited in that museum is a fake."

"Isn't that very dangerous...?"

"No.

Because this is a common phrase when displaying fakes.

It is almost impossible for amateurs to judge whether it is real or fake. No matter how much an expert appraises it, the appraisal can also be forged.

Anyway, I thought it was a fake, so I placed a bid, and upon appraisal, it turned out to be real.

Oh. This is a scary world... You don't know what to believe."

"In general, the real things we get by replacing them are actually copies.

If it were displayed as a copy from the beginning, I wouldn't have any complaints."

"I don't think it's a good idea to appreciate a poorly made real artwork."

At Uranus's words, everyone fell silent.

Is it real or fake?

This is a troublesome problem that can never be Eliminated when dealing with artworks. Good or bad doesn't matter, so there's no need."

"... Mr. Motarike.

Is it possible to reproduce that photo of Uranus?"

"Yes?

Can you paint another one while looking at it?

Well, if you just paint it, you can paint it."

"If it seems difficult to get the original, I think at least just a copy."

"Aisha...

Why do you want that?"

Mr. Monohong next to me looks at me suspiciously.

"Somehow. When I see that, you could say I really want it.

Isn't it normal to want a photo or two of your friends? It's the same."

"That... I don't know."

Uranus stares at me even more suspiciously.

In fact, I know why you want it.

One day he will be rejuvenated. With a drug that rejuvenates.

Since you said you are under 10 years old, you probably won't look like you do now. When that happens, that Painting will become a very valuable artwork depicting the current Uranus. Rejuvenating and getting older doesn't mean you will look the same as you do now."

"……

I don't mind you painting it, but you will pay for the model."

"What?"

Mr. Motarike said something terrifying.

"If you let me paint a picture with you as the model, I will paint a copy of that picture for you.

That is the condition."

"A..."

Not good. That is

Trapped in an answer, I let my gaze wander. I knew everyone's gaze was focused on me.

"I, I have been busy for a while, so...

If I may, let me think about it."

"You understand.

Come if you want to. I welcome you."

T... It seems this will be an expensive purchase. A model, huh...

I have a bad premonition about this. I hope it doesn't look like that Poster. Ugh... Damn it, Netero saying he was a model really caught my attention...

"Aisha, you don't like being a model, do you?

Do you want something like that?"

"... I was thinking."

"I don't know..."

"He doesn't know how much this painting is worth."

"Eh eh eh...

That kind of free trash. I want to burn it now."

"What are you talking about, burning a portrait of a princess above all else?

Even if you're covering up your own embarrassment, it's too scary."

"Uh... why am I angry?"

While chatting with Uranus, I arrived at the Trade Shop.

"Molly, you're just letting those two guys be models, you're not actually hitting on them, are you?

If it's cheating—"

"It shouldn't be, why!

Wasn't one of them a man to begin with?"

"Well, that's true, but come on.

As for whether it's cute or not—"

"Hey, Omara.

Come back without saying silly things. How far do you want to go?"

"One."

A couple hurried back.

Uranus seemed to be doing it on purpose, with a gesture of paying,

"If you want to go on a date alone, you can go, okay?

Don't force us not to date."

"Oh sorry, sorry.

I didn't mean it. I was just talking to you carelessly."

Just because the topic was the topic, I couldn't help but feel I wanted you to go somewhere.

First, Mr. Motarike, or rather, Gori, deposited the Money Card into the shop.

With this, Mr. Motarike has 25 slots, and adding Mr. Bell, there are 70 slots.

Next, Uranus stood in front of Gori. Taking out the Binder of "Book", he took out the cards,

"Trading with 1 Red Lob, 2 Green Caviar, 1 Turban Shell, 3 white pearls, 2 Parrotfish, and 2 kelp Seaweed."

"Hey, that's 13,900 Jenny."

"Hmm.

Did you guys go out to sea?"

"Yes. This morning at Suolunde."

"Very good.

It's been a long time since I wanted to go swimming in the sea."

"... But Sorondo is really hot, isn't it?"

"Over there.

But speaking of swimming in the sea, it's definitely the sea in midsummer."

"Aisha, sorry, I was talking to you, but you come over.

Seam and Meleoron too."

"Oh yes."

"Yes.

What is it, Uranus?"

"Hey, what should I do?"

"Since we have a lot of people, I want to transfer as many Trade Shop savings as possible from Antokiba to Masadora.

So, I want to save my Free Pocket for the last minute, but I'm pretty sure the three of them haven't obtained a few books yet, right? It would be luggage, but I want you to turn it into an item."

I see. If there was a chance, I would have already moved, but it seems I still have about 9 million in savings in Antokiba under the name 'seem'.

"Yes, I understand. Books."

"Books."

Flip the Binder and release the grooming with "Buff".

"Do you want me to keep this book?"

"Please.

You two, please hand the books to Bell and put down the bags.

I want you to put it away."

"Yes, I will keep it.

... Hm?

Shinken Ryu Fist Method? Is Aisha my Xinyuan Long?"

"No. It's Kazama Style."

"Ah...

You seem to be good at joints, that's right.

He is keen on studying other schools and research.

Then, Magic Girl Corps Napa... what is this?"

"Is there an anime like this?"

"Hmm. It seems to be a girl's anime, but I don't know what the difference is.

Then, dinner for today...

How do you read this? Sarisa? A fashion magazine... or rather, a book about menswear?"

Uranus and I burst out, "Uh!?" Wait, Meleoron, why did you buy that?

"... I just like special troupes.

I like being there."

"Hmm, it's unique, isn't it? I like this troupe too.

Oh, and that kid. Isn't it cute?"

"You guys..."

The groan of a cross-dressing man. No way. I agree with the women's opinion. The men might agree. I don't know if he is.

"Hehe, don't you think they look alike?"

"Yeah... but the makeup is a bit tight.

Uranus is a natural product, so anyway."

"If it's a processed product, some look really good.

After all, I was born—"

"Never mind, put that naughty book away right now!

You said you'd give me money!"

"Yes, yes.

My little cutie is making puns, so put this away."

"Ah, yes.

... Geez, even if such a cute guy is angry, it's not enough to blow up."

"Kiiiii! These guys!"

"Uranus, isn't this the usual?

Calm down, calm down."

"No more..."

The sobbing princess. With this, if I say "squishy princess" and my cheeks are squishy, I believe I will be bored for a while.

"Hey, Uranus.

I've already put the book away, but what are you going to do next?"

"Damn it...

Bell, you keep this. Put it on the last page."

"Hmm?

Should I keep this 'communication'?"

"Yes, right now.

Seam. Take my Gold Card and deposit it."

"Yes, I understand."

"Everyone, please check the empty slots in your Free Pocket one last time.

I will fill the empty slots with 10,000 Jenny."

"We don't have to do anything, right? The empty slots are the same as before."

"Yes.

... One. No, there is."

"There is a designated Pocket Card in my Empty Pocket, so please put it into the two designated pockets. Of course, I will return it later."

"Okay."

"Please give me a card."

"Hmm."

"... These two. Masadora, put them in correctly. 52 and 80."

"If it disappears, that would be a great loss."

"Wow!? S-Rank!"

"Did you guys get another one?"

"I happened to see the floating Stone, and I was able to remove it well."

"Hurry up and put it into the Binder."

Due to such a rush, I had 2 million Jenny on hand. After leaving the shop, we used "Companion" to fly to Masadora.

He hurried to the trade shop, sold 5 Pearl Locusts and one Tiger Shark Card, and deposited most of the money under the name of Uranus.

With 660,000 Jenny, I finally went to the card shop. The "Communication" on the last page was moved to the Empty Pocket, and the six of us went into the shop in a group.

"Give me 66 card packs."

"Yes. That will be 660,000 Jenny."

"Wow..."

Bell groaned alone. Yes, we have to be paralyzed.

Added to the 48 Spells I already possessed, I had a total of 246 Spell cards. Excluding the Spells that Mr. Motarike had from the beginning.

"Spy/Steal" 4 cards

"Clairvoyance/Fluorescent Perspective" 5 cards

15 "Bullet/Defense Wall" cards

16 "Companion/Companion" cards

"Communication/Communication" 14 cards

Ah. Did you draw a second "Leave"? Also, a second "Collection" was drawn.

Now then, this is...

"Oh my god, there is no such thing as 'Robust'."

"It was destined to turn out like this..."

I nodded in disgust at Bell's words. In the end, it was just a question of whether you could draw it or not.

Uranos tapped his Finger on the cards on the table,

"In any case, Omara, you aren't saying you're going to 'quit', are you?"

"Hmm...

Even if I go out, I don't want to 'quit' and leave.

Because you don't know what the state of the Game Console is."

"... Hmm, that's right.

If that's the case, will you leave the port?"

"If you go out, yes.

I won't do that for the time being."

"Are you getting old?"

Perhaps because there were many cards and many people, Uranos pondered for a moment, and finally left the shop. The other players waiting at the shop entrance looked at the six of us who came out in confusion.

We walked for a while, entered an alley, and stopped.

"I've explained it before, but I'll say it again.

Seam is the 'Stick' of the three of us. Now everyone is finished.

The other one is the 'Treasure' 'Lottery'. It won't hit anyway, so just do it properly."

"..."

"Motarike. Even if you make that face, I won't do it like that again.

It was agreed that there would be no rewards this time."

"I know..."

Senchi, you must have been very embarrassed that you couldn't draw the designated Pocket Card last time. This is also bad for your mental health, as it makes your heart beat faster.... Although it is interesting.

In the end, even after using the 'Treasure' 'Lottery' 24 times, I didn't draw anything outstanding. I think I was able to draw a useful 'Return' and a 'Forgery'.

"Ah, this is so cute.

Can I have it?"

"... Please."

Bell took one from my hand and tried to pull the old man out of my hand.
