Volume 1 Chapter 27 Merchant Guild Vittoria
Edited by: Kanaa-senpai
”Merchant Guild Vittoria – The Best Selection of Magic Tools in the World!”
I read the sign hanging from the eaves of the building.
This is the magic tool shop that Lina recommended.
As I entered the building, a middle-aged man who seemed to be the owner greeted me.
”Welcome! You’ve arrived at the Merchant Guild Vittoria, the best selection of magic tools in the world! My name is Hector.”
The shopkeeper greeted us with an unusually high-pitched voice and a lot of energy.
”It’s a great honor to have you, Lady Blackdagger and Lady Dorman! Yay!”
Hector was rubbing his hands together as if he was about to wear them out.
”Lady Dorman, how did the breast enhancement device work for you the other day?”
Lina’s face turned bright red.
”Idiot! What are you saying! I don’t know anything about that!”
Lina, I actually kind of like your A-cup (flat chest) too.
*Shu!*.
Lina had a fit (fireball).
”What are you grinning about?!”
I just nodded in response.
”Oh? Was that not it…? Do you need anything, Lady lackdagger?”
”Um, do you have any temptation-type magic tools? You know, for… men.”
*Buh!*.
Milly, do you remember what you came here for? What are you planning to do with temptation?.
”Lady Miriallia, that’s not good. If you’re going to look for something, you should look for suggestion-type magic tools instead…”
Annabella made a scary comment.
No way! Suggestion is a definite no!.
”Suggestion-type tools, huh…? They’re quite rare, but actually, I just got some recently.”
”Hector, that’s not it. I don’t need suggestion tools!”
Everyone is completely forgetting their purpose.
I need to talk to Hector to find what I’m looking for.
”Hector, I’m looking for a magic tool…”
”Yes! I take pride in being the best shop with the best selection, so I can meet your requests!”
”[Handsome Guy] Is there a magic tool that can seal skills?”
Hector’s face stiffens, and his gaze starts to wander.
”Uh, is it [Handsome Guy]… Skill-sealing magic tools are rare, but if we’re talking about sealing unique skills…”
Hector hesitates with his words.
Could it be that there really isn’t one? If that’s the case, I guess I’ll have to gain iron self-control myself?.
”Yeah, I figured there wouldn’t be. Sorry, I’ll look elsewhere.”
Hector grabs my hand.
”Please wait. There’s no falsehood in our Merchant Guild Vittoria’s reputation! Just wait a moment!”
Hector heads to the back of the shop, rummaging around.
Lina and the others seem to have forgotten their goal (skill sealing) and are browsing the magic tools in the store.
”Elder Sister, how about this if we attach it to the bed? It sparkles and looks pretty.”
What Lina is holding looks just like a disco ball.
Plus, it even has a pink ‘torch’ attached to it.
Lina, where are you thinking of? This is my bed, you know.
”More importantly, Lina, Ms. Annabella, wouldn’t this rotating bed be better?”
Milly, a rotating bed…
Seriously, where are we?.
”Lady Miriallia, I think this would be great for the bath!”
Annabella…
What would you even use a magic mirror for?.
”Well, you could just look directly.”
”Lady Miriallia, some gentlemen get excited by peeking. Sir Kent might enjoy that more.”
…
I can’t deny it.
Annabella, you’re quite perceptive about my preferences.
While I was thinking about that, Hector returned with something that looked promising.
”Sir Kent. Here is what you were looking for, the ‘Mask of Beauty and Ugliness’ that is believed to be able to seal [Handsome Guy] skills.”
Wait, it actually exists? I wasn’t expecting it, but it’s really here…
Hector is holding a visor-style mask.
”This ‘Mask of Beauty and Ugliness’ seems more like it cancels out the [Handsome Guy] skill rather than sealing it. What do you think? Should I try it on?”
”Definitely, I want to try it!”
I received the ‘Mask of Beauty and Ugliness’ from Hector and put it on.
When I pressed the button, a black visor came down.
Zzzz…
Crack! Boom!.
Smoke started rising from the visor, and it exploded.
”Whoa! It exploded!”
”Oh no! My ‘Mask of Beauty and Ugliness’! That was a one-of-a-kind item! How could it break?!”
Hector looked like he was about to cry.
But I didn’t want to break it on purpose.
”Guess it really was impossible…”
”Hey! Sir Kent! You can’t underestimate the Merchant Guild Vittoria, which has the best selection in the world!”
Hector replied, half in frustration, and headed back into the store.
The next thing he brought out was a ring and a pair of glasses.
”First, this ring is a ‘Transmutation Ring.’ If you equip it, Sir Kent, and become a woman, the [Handsome Guy] skill should be canceled out, right?”
”Oh, I see… then let’s put it on right away.”
I put on the ‘Transmutation Ring’ and recited the activation command.
I was enveloped in light from the ring, and when the light faded, what was below was gone, and what wasn’t above was now there.
Wow, I have surprisingly big breasts.
I started to grope my own chest.
This feels kind of weird.
To check, I looked at my skill list, and it had changed from [Handsome Guy] to [Beautiful Girl].
However, the skill details were the same, but it didn’t seem to be voluntary.
Because Hector in front of me was looking at me with the eyes of a hungry beast.
”Sir Kent, how do you feel? If you’re okay with it, we could discuss business in another room…”
Hector tried to pull me into another room.
I hurriedly recited the deactivation command.
”Wait! What am I doing?!”
”No more ‘Transmutation Ring’! I really don’t want to be attacked by a man!”
I shoved the ring back at Hector.
”Sir Kent, I sincerely apologize. Next, we have these ‘Illusion Glasses.’.”
”‘Illusion Glasses’? What are they?”
”Whoa! It seems these glasses were made for people who have extreme fear of women, and they make everyone except the specified person appear as a man.”
I nervously put on the glasses and said the activation word.
Looking around, I saw that Lina looked like a small boy, Milly looked like a young man, and Annabella looked like a young man with a beard.
With these glasses, I definitely wouldn’t feel any affection…
”I guess with these, I can avoid activating it…”
”What do you think, Sir Kent?”
”Is there nothing else available?”
”Well, for now… this is about all we have in stock…”
I might as well keep this as a temporary solution…
I called out to Milly and the others.
”For now, I think I’ll try to disguise it with the ‘Illusion Glasses.’.”
”Oh, so they make women look like men. Even Kent would… you know.”
”I just hope your love for women calms down.”
”Lina, do you really think Sir Kent can do something like that?”
That was a pretty harsh thing to say.
I have a delicate heart, you know.
Even though I was hurt by everyone’s words, I decided to negotiate the purchase with Hector.
”How much will you sell the ‘Illusion Glasses’ for?”
Hector smiled and took out what looked like an abacus to start calculating.
”Well, since it’s an introduction from Lady Blackdagger and Lady Dorman, normally it would be 5 gold coins, but I’ll give you a discount to 3 gold coins and 5 large silver coins.”
”Hector, you’re surprisingly trying to overcharge. No matter how you look at it, 2 gold coins and 5 large silver coins is about right, don’t you think?”
Lina was haggling with Hector.
I didn’t really understand the value of money in this world, so I couldn’t tell if it was expensive or cheap.
”Lady Dorman! That’s unreasonable. We’ve had our ‘Mask of Beauty and Ugliness’ broken. Please include the repair cost and make it 3 gold coins and 3 large silver coins!”
”Well, that seems fair enough, right? Annabella, is that okay with you?”
”Yes, I think that’s fine. I believe we’ll receive some rewards soon.”
”I’ll buy it.”
Milly informed Hector that she would make the purchase.
”Then, can we settle the payment at the end of the month?”
”Sure. I’ll take this as it is, okay?”
”Yes! Please take it with you.”
Let me know if you need anything else!.
I received the ‘Illusion Glasses’ and decided to make Milly, Annabella, and Lina my test subjects.
We all planned to have lunch together while checking if the [Handsome Guy] would fail at the Hunter Guild’s Feria, including a demonstration experiment.
Magic tools…
they’re convenient.
It’s a way to seal the Handsome Guy.
By the way, I haven’t bought a disco ball, a rotating bed, or a magic mirror.
I shouldn’t have bought them.
I didn’t buy them, right?.
In the next story, that girl from the H-class will make an appearance!.
