This city is called Harugion and is a port city with developed fishing industry.
Here, there are relatively few people who can use magic. It is said that only less than one percent or even less of the total population can use magic? Therefore, there are obviously fewer magic item shops here than other places. There is only one such pitiful one.
So, after coming to this city and wandering around for a while, Annie, who had no money in the world in her pocket and was eager to buy delicious food, resolutely found this poor magic item store and prepared to go here. Spend some money in exchange!
There's nothing that can be done about it. After all, Anne doesn't intend to break the rules of the game just yet. She doesn't intend to use her other items randomly or directly take out gold coins. In addition, it seems that physical gold coins are not accepted here, so , besides coming to a magic shop like this and preparing to exchange one or two magic spells for money, there was no other good way for her to do it.
"hateful!"
(??~??)
"This is the spell book of Flame Storm and Pyroblast, and you only give me a small amount of money? Do you believe that someone turned you into a frog and then cooked it for someone else's little bear to eat?!"
o(*｀ー??)o
Patting the two books on the counter that had just been hastily written outside, and the ink had not even dried completely, which contained books about flame storms and pyroblasts, little Annie threatened the shop owner.
Because, the price given by the other party is very unfair in the opinion of her little bear. Should the price be raised again?
"Have no idea……"
"Dear little guest, you also know that there are very few people in our city who can use magic. Otherwise, there wouldn't be only this small shop like mine in such a big city... and I am the only one who can use magic. The items in the small shop are generally only prepared for those magicians who are traveling or passing by. The customer flow is really too small. If the price is too high, once it is in my hands, I will not have it. The money goes around.”
"so……"
"I'm really sorry. Although I also want to give you a better price, I really can't help it!"
To be honest, in the opinion of this old man in the magic items shop, the two magic books that the little girl in front of him got from nowhere are indeed very good, and he just used the identification technique to carefully identify them. , they are all real and valid, and at least worth twice or more than the price he just quoted!
but……
That's the value in other places. In this city, they are just books with a price but no market. Otherwise, there wouldn't be a half-dead shop like his here. Therefore, in this place where there are no competitors and not many customers, he must deliberately lower the price.
"..."
(????_??)
After hearing the other party's delayed and sincere words, Anne began to frown and think about it.
Of course, she wasn't thinking about whether to sell it at that price, because she didn't know whether the price was right or not! Anyway, she would definitely not value something that she could exchange for money by just drawing a few random drawings. What she was considering now was: how many books like that would she have to sell to get enough money? Money so she can eat and drink everywhere?
(…)
(lll￢??￢)
"This distinguished little guest..."
"or?"
"You take them to other cities? I think that in cities with a large number of magicians, those big shops will definitely give you a more suitable price?"
The shop owner persuaded me deliberately and considerately.
He just heard what the little guy said. The other party has no money, and going to other cities requires taking a train or a ship. That is obviously impossible to do without money, so now, he They are confident, that is, they don’t increase the price for the other party, and they don’t want to sell if they like!
Anyway, apart from him, no one else in the city or anyone else would offer a price higher than the one he just offered. Besides, he knew something about magic books and had some methods of identification. If someone else tried it, those who saw the crooked words in it would have been thrown away as useless things. Already?
"No!"
??(ψ｀╭╮′)o??Bang! !
"Here! At the price you just mentioned, I will sell all these books to you!!"
(??????????)hey-hey!
Without waiting for the other party to react, Annie stood on tiptoe and took pictures of a large pile of magic books that she had just copied out, which were not too thick and contained the words 'Pyroblast' and 'Fire Storm'. Arrived at the other party's counter.
If it's not enough, Lady Queen Anne said that she can write more and more on the spot, as much as you want, and it will still be available for any type of magic?
"!!"
"This, so much?!"
Now, it was the owner of the magic items shop's turn to be frightened.
He never expected that the little guy in front of him would come prepared, and he never expected that the other party would actually get so many magic books recording powerful magic?
Of course, it doesn't matter how the other party got it done. What matters is that he will be able to make a lot of money soon! Although collecting these books will make him severely short of funds for a period of time, as long as he distributes these books to colleagues in surrounding cities to sell them on their behalf or resell them at high prices, I believe that more funds will definitely flow in. into his account.
'...'
'that……'
'Sorry, excuse me? '
At this time, a girl with blond ponytails who had just come here to buy a magic key, but had never reached an agreement on the price, and even wanted to seduce a bad old man so that he could lower the price, saw what little Annie was doing. After seeing the boss quickly put away the books and take out wads of new and large bills from the safe for little Annie, she finally couldn't help but join in.
"My name is Lucy, nice to meet you!"
"!!"
"I don't want your money, although it is indeed a huge amount of money, but please don't look at me with that weird look!"
"I'm not as bad as this profiteer!!"
As soon as he said that, he saw the little guy quickly put the thick and brand-new money into the pocket that seemed to have the effect of space magic, and then he covered the pocket and looked at himself warily. After showing her appearance, Lucy quickly waved her hand and explained:
"Is such that……"
"Excuse me……"
"Do you have any magic books or keys for sale?"
"If so, please be sure to sell it to me. I can give you a preferential price. That way there will be less middlemen to make the difference?"
Originally, Lucy wanted the 'little white dog' in this shop that was worth 20,000 J, but she had no choice but to start seducing him, but the other party only agreed to give him a thousand J less... She almost couldn't help it just now. She wanted to bite the bullet and buy it, but when she saw this little guy who seemed to have a lot of magic books coming here to sell those precious books, she suddenly had an idea and came over to ask.
The other party was very young, looking about eight or nine years old. Although he didn't look like the kind of dealer who specializes in selling magic props, for Lucy, if she could spend less money to achieve her goal, If she could buy what she needed, she would still be happy to do it.
"!!"
!(;??o??)o
"Opening magic or key-like magic props?"
(??????.??????)????????
"Um……"
(??????·?????????)
"We don't have any props at the moment, but I can teach you the magic of 'opening the door'. It's called 'Alajo Cave Opening'. It's easy to learn. Do you want it?"
(????????????)????
After thinking about it, Annie quickly said what the other party might need, because it was not too difficult for her.
"really have?"
"Alajo hole open?"
"Can the effect be better than this?!"
Unexpectedly, the other party actually had one. The young lady named Lucy excitedly pointed at the 'little white dog' key that she had just brought over and placed on the counter.
Is that a 'medium' magic prop used by star spirit wizards like them to summon star spirits from another world? It can also be said to be a 'contract' that opens the summoning portal to another world? And things like that are very important to Celestial Wizards like them!
"Um……"
(????ˇ??ˇ????)
"It should be better, right?"
╮(～▽～)╭
After all, one is a magic key for a specific lock, and the other is a magic key for various locks and closed doors, and it can be used unlimited times without having to carry it. Therefore, Anne feels that the magic is valuable. It should be above the key.
Anyway, she didn't even look at the specific properties and functions of the key on the counter just now, because she didn't use her power at all now, so she thought the key was just some kind of universal key for opening the door. That's it?
"ah!!"
"That's great, please sell it to me at a fair price!!"
With stars in her eyes, the young lady named Lucy hurried to Annie's side and begged excitedly.
"But……"
(lll￢ω￢)
"No one will give you a thousand bucks just because they saw your thighs!"
╰(*°▽°*)╯
"!!"
"I'm not going to show you my thighs, little one!"
"hateful!"
"I'm going to treat you to dinner, and you can give me a little less. That's okay, right?"
Thinking about the fact that she just wanted to seduce a bad old man just because she wanted to spend less money, Lucy's face couldn't help but blush a little, but she quickly put it behind her and turned around. And suggested this to the little girl.
"Invite someone to dinner?"
Σ(°△°|||)︴
"Okay, okay! That's it, let's go! What kind of delicious meal do you want to eat? Let's eat seafood!!"
??????(??)?????????
"seafood?"
"Of course, no problem. The seafood here is the freshest! Come on, I'll take you there!"
Lucy didn't lie. She patted her chest openly and led the little girl she accidentally met out.
Because Harugion is a port city with developed fisheries, it is perfect to eat seafood here. They are indeed very, very fresh, and they are guaranteed to be alive and kicking before being cooked! Of course, they are also the least valuable at the same time. She probably only needs to spend a little money to make this little one who doesn't seem to have much room in his belly full to eat!
"correct!"
"I just introduced you, my name is Lucy, little one, what's your name?"
While leading the other party outside the profiteer's shop, Lucy introduced him again and asked with a smile.
"It's Annie!"
ヾ(⌒??⌒*)??
"Annie?"
"Like me, you are not from Harugion, but also from outside?"
"Uh-huh!"
(*^▽^*)
"Huh?"
"You didn't come alone, did you?"
"It's just one person!"
(^_??)☆
"ah!!"
"Aren't you scared when you run around at such a young age? There are many, many bad people in this world, just like the old man behind."
As she spoke, Lucy lowered her voice and glanced at an innocent magic item shop owner.
"I'm not afraid!"
o(??^｀)o
"They are very, very strong!"
o(*｀ー??)p
"That's it..."
"Then you must be a very powerful magician?"
"That should be considered right?"
o(*^▽^*)┛
"!!"
"Then which guild are you from?"
"ah?"
"You haven't joined a guild yet? That's great, neither have I! I'm also looking for a guild, how about we join together?"
"That `s a deal!"
"Well, Annie, we are friends now. You can teach me any magic for free, and I can help you find a powerful guild to join. What do you think?"
"You agree? Great, it's settled!!"
"Let's go!"
"I'll take you to dinner first!!"
…
'...'
Seeing that his customers turned to others to buy things, and seeing the two girls leaving chatting and laughing, the shop owner wanted to say something, but...seeing that little girl seemed to be enough. He was his big customer, and he had just completed a big order. After thinking about it, he could only stand aside silently, without saying anything, and just watched the two of them chatting and laughing as they pushed away his store. door and leave.
…
However, two hours later, Lucy had to return to the magic item shop in frustration, and spent another 20,000J to buy the 'little white dog' key.
Because, she discovered that the magic given to her by a certain little girl was not what she wanted at all? So, after finally encountering that 'little white dog', she didn't seem to have any good solution other than going back to be slaughtered and losing the originally agreed-upon discount?
"well……"
Looking at the magic magazine in her hand, and then at the little girl lying on a chair and snorting in the sun, Lucy couldn't help but sigh heavily.
"well……"
"Mirajan's photo, it's so beautiful..."
"hateful!"
"It would be great if I could join Fairy Tail, that would be my dream!"
After flipping through the magazine and looking at the content that interested her, Lucy, the Celestial Spirit Mage, couldn't help but sigh in frustration.
"!!"
|??˙??˙)?
However, at this moment, a certain troubled little girl who had just been lying on a chair and sniffing the sun suddenly came to her side.
??"Fairy Tail?"
(??????.??????)????????
"Is that 'Fairy Tail' guild very strong and famous?"
(???????`)
"Of course!"
"Fairy Tail is one of the strongest guilds in the world!"
Lucy said longingly, she wasn't really sure whether it was her, but anyway, in her heart, the status of the Fairy Tail guild was so high! Although, some of the negative reputations of the other party are also quite bad?
"That's it..."
|??????ω????)????
"Then, Sister Lucy, let's find a way to join that 'Fairy Tail' guild, and then challenge their guild leader!"
|??'-'??)????
Anne waved her little fists and said in a sweet voice.
"??"
"I definitely want to join, but... why should we challenge their president?"
Lucy was a little confused. She didn't know why the little girl next to her suddenly had that idea.
"Of course it's because they want to kill their guild president and then occupy their powerful guild!"
(*??????`??)
After all, Anne is still thinking about the main mission now, and since it is a mission, although she does not have to complete it, as long as she does her best, even if she is not urged, she will do her best no matter what. of.
Of course, maybe there is no need to burn it so cruelly. She just needs to defeat the other party and let the other party hand over the president's throne honestly so that she can continue her mission?
(…)
(●￣(??)￣●)
"!!"
"Annie! Don't say such nonsense!!"
"never mind!"
"I won't talk to you anymore. I want to go shopping around first. In the evening, let's meet up at the hotel we just mentioned?"
Lucy didn't take what little Annie said to heart. After all, in her opinion, it was just childish talk? So, seeing that it was already afternoon, and she would have no chance if she didn't go shopping, she finally waved to a little guy who was reluctant to move, and walked towards the street in the distance alone.
"Uh-huh!"
(??????????) Great!
“When you see something delicious, remember to buy it for others!!”
??(????????)??
After shouting at the other party's back, regardless of whether the other party heard or took it to heart, Annie lay directly back on the chair in the street park and began to rest beautifully while basking in the sun.
