This is quite the luxury though… I wonder if it’d be too much to use it as decoration for the house? Hmmm… I kind of want it.
But although it’s been dispelled already, I still kind of don’t want to touch it. Because of that, I used ‘Create Block’, and I turned the earth surrounding to the cluster into one giant block.
I then ordered the earth slimes to widen the path, and then using Qi Gong, I carried the block out of the hole.
Outside the hole, I used ‘Break Rock’ to break the earth surrounding the cluster. And out came that large black crystal. When everyone saw it, everyone except me and Remiri-san was speechless.
Not only was this crystal a magic gem, it was also of the dark attribute with good quality. It was also big, so it’ll definitely sell for hundreds of times the normal price.
As for how much, I don’t know for sure. The price is just that big. Selling it would probably cost a commotion too, so I probably shouldn’t sell it. Let’s just leave it at home.
As I was thinking that to myself, Remiri-san asked me.
“Ryouma-chan, can you give me this magic gem?” [Remiri]
“Eh, this?” [Ryouma]
I thought of refusing her right away, but then I remembered that strange feeling I felt before. Huh? Then again why did I want to refuse her? If I sold it, it would make a huge commotion, and Remiri-san didn’t even say she was asking it for free… I’m not so attached to it that I’d refuse without even asking either, but… Maybe I actually want it deep inside. Well the again it is a luxurious object, can’t blame me, right?
As I was thinking that to myself, Remiri-san panicked, and quickly added,
“W-Wait Ryouma-chan, you don’t have to worry about it that much. You should actually be refusing me here, you know?” [Remiri]
“Eh?” [Ryouma]
“Sheesh… I wouldn’t actually ask you to just give something like this away. Rheinbach-chan told me you didn’t really care much for money, so I just wanted to test it is all. You don’t have to worry so much.” [Remiri]
Oh, she wasn’t serious.
“Ah, so it was a joke.” [Ryouma]
“Naturally. This crystal here is a huge fortune. It would have been normal to just refuse outright. And you can’t get a lot of money out of this either, unless you negotiate seriously, Ryouma-chan. But instead, you suddenly started to worry for real…
We’re adventurers, so it can’t be helped if disputes come out during times like these… If you’re like that, you’ll make me worry that you’ll get scammed somewhere.” [Remiri]
It’s true that I don’t care much for money, but I don’t think it’s to the point where I would be swindled.
“In any case, Ryouma-chan was the one who dug these magic gem and magic jewels out, so it’s yours.” [Remiri]
“Ah… The magic gem aside ,let’s share the magic jewels.” [Ryouma]
They did come with me after all, and they even taught me various things, and even looked after me, so they do have some right to it, right?
“Hmm… Then in that case, we’ll each take one. Any more than that is too much.” [Rheinbach]
Said Rheinbach-sama as he took out his own portion from the bag containing the magic jewels. The others also took theirs, and Remiri-san happily embraced me.
Remiri-san is apparently going to be using it for her new wand. There, I suddenly remembered the branch of the elder treant, so I took a branch and gave it to her. Remiri-san became even happier, and she hugged me even tighter.
It was almost as rough as last night, but at the same time, I was also a little happy.
After that, with nothing else left do to in the area, we left with the Eternal Darkness (herbs) and magic jewels in the ‘Dimension Home’. As for the magic gem, I turned it into a block again with ‘Create Block’, and then hid it in my ‘Item Box’. And so, we decided to spend another night outside the labyrinth, and then make our way home.
