Anemone whispers Deneb with her elbow so as not to interfere with the appraisal.

"Hey, that would be the ring from that time"

"Come on, what is it?" said Deneb.

But Anemone remembered.

That ring was definitely something I found a few years ago when I was diving into a dungeon with my people.

It is a nostalgic memory that everyone started a feud on the monster's own as a result of deciphering the magic letter 'Breathtaking Beauty to You' inside the ring and turning out to be a 'ring of charm', a coveted item for women.

In the end, the ring should have been lost because of its awkwardness -.

"You were holding back."

"Please don't say anything bad about people, because you guys are fighting, so I left it behind."

Deneb pointing his mouth and protesting in a whisper.

Speaking of which, it was then that Deneb stepped down only one of the contenders.

She blushed and angry at her pals, who were too genuinely giddy to stick to the ring. And he said, 'If we're going to continue this any longer, we'll go down for a meal during the camp. They controlled the quarrel by proclaiming that they should eat grass and stone.

It was possible that the Masquerade would have been dissolved if I thought it would have continued.

I think that was a great word to think about.

"That came out of the back when I was packing my old stuff. So... I tried to borrow it for a little while... but I failed in the end..."

"... yeah. Right."

Anemone decided to stop pursuing any further.

My sisters have sporadically told me that she has been seeing each other for more than five years and that she has not yet been able to achieve a fruitful outcome.

Most of the reasons why it doesn't work are because the ideals you want from them are too expensive...

I want it to work.

"This sounds like the Ring of the Crude."

Fujiwara concludes, rubbing her right eye off her monocular glasses.

Because it is essential to analyze the magic circuit by picking up and reading each of the countless little magic characters that make up it, your eyes are terrified.

"... what an interesting name item that is"

I guess that's what Deneb said as he tilted his neck because he was told the name of an unfamiliar item.

"Since when has Mr. Deneb worn this?

"Yeah, I think it's been about a week."

"Then this must be why Apple Pie failed."

"The Ring of the Crude" is a troublesome item that affects the spirit of the user.

Simply wearing it makes you feel suddenly blamed, with various symptoms of losing your composure, disturbing your concentration, and not being comfortable with the detailed work you are doing, resulting in many boring failures (fumbles).

Simply put, it's a substitute for becoming 'crude' as the name suggests.

So the rendezvous didn't work out so well, let's just say that Deneb whispered in his ear but didn't listen.

"Originally, it's something I realize right away because I repeatedly fail enough to interfere with my life...... is Mr. Deneb a magician?

"No, I'm a pharmacist."

"Deneb is a family of witches."

The harmful magic of this hand can be bounced off by aggregating will and concentration.

And if you have the qualities to be a good magician, there are also those who unconsciously do it.

She'll probably be able to do it.

It is therefore presumed that the effect of the ring was weakened and the discovery of the cause was delayed.

"You didn't faint a lot these days because of your age..."

Deneb breathes relieved while holding his cheeks.

She says that to swallow, but it's a hell of a story.

If you continue to resist magic, you will drain your strength and spiritual strength little by little, no matter how resistant you were. Instead, I admire that it is something that I have often been able to wear for more than a week without feeling significantly ill.

When Deneb visited here, the family name he named was definitely Faye. That's the same surname as the Great Witch Morgan, the corner of The Nine Sisters that governs this labyrinth city.

If she is her grandson or great-grandson, it is a story that she can snort at.

……

Once again, Fujiwara pays attention to the ring in her palm.

Considering the exterior decorations and the inner magic letters, it is certain that the rings made in this great old-time - "The Age of the Good Wizards" - were created for the purpose of plunging someone.

And you must be a woman who wants to be beautiful with that someone.

Could this producer or production client have had a lover? And I want to pull the person's leg, but I thought you made this like a "ring of charm".

Of course, it's just speculation, but what a sinful ring to assume that thought is still bothering someone.

In this way, there are a number of dropped items in the dungeon that are not locusts that make you want to suspect that their sole purpose is to trap the Seeker. Nothing has the appearance or ingenuity to resemble something else like this one.

Of all the stories of explorers who just get terribly painful because of the untested products they put on and used with semi-probile knowledge that rolls around like mountains in a tavern, it can be said that they are fortunate in their misfortune.

"If you don't mind, I'll buy this ring here. How about it?

"What... can you pick up even this useless stuff?

Deneb looks surprised.

It may come as a surprise because it is indeed a granting instrument that has only disadvantages for many.

Of course, I'm not selling it to anyone who intends to fall for someone.

There is a use separate from the original use, and therefore there is no zero who wants it.

In fact, the act of bouncing off the effects of this ring seems to be useful as a training to enhance control of will and concentration. It is one of the few items that can build essential qualities for those who deal in magic.

By the way, I noticed this trait and it was Fujiwara's master who put it up for sale first. "Even if I resist and fail, I've tried to sell it because there's less damage, but you make money out of it. Ha ha ha, 'I honestly doubted my ears when I was laughing, but now I can't even complain because I've introduced it as a teaching material in college.

"At the corner, I received your suggestion..." But Deneb slowly shook his head to the side after doing his thinking trick for a while and said, "I'll keep this."

Apparently, it's an important product for her.

Fujiwara nodded when she saw the ring wrapped in her palms looking important.

Then you won't have to go any further.

Fujiwara thought it was strange because any useless crap would be difficult to substitute for anything if it were to change usage or add the strong thoughts of the owner.

◆

"I'm sorry I couldn't thank you properly, but I showed you the inconsistency"

I'll come back out again, and I'll bow my head and say, "Let's drop off" after Deneb leaving the store. Anemone followed him.

Because I haven't wanted to talk to a friend in a long time.

"Nevertheless, Master Fujiwara is familiar with the granting tools. Besides, I've never seen anyone figure out a magic circuit in such a short period of time."

"The manager likes appraisals enough to be stupid."

The two of us take the road to the city centre.

Sometimes the area is near a dungeon, and there is a suspicious fog or a rare monster created by the magic that leaks out, so there are no private houses, shops, etc., but the field is just spreading.

"I didn't know much about it, but the profession of appraiser is an intelligent and solid job."

"... um?

Anemone tilts her neck, wondering if so, as she arms up.

It would not be a mistake if, in the sense of intelligence, it could include a big child solving difficult mysteries and playing with them.

However, it is doubtful whether it is a solid job.

Because sometimes he doesn't pay much attention to the way things are priced when he knows the value of things, and he buys expensive items that aren't meant to be sold.

This time I happened to be able to link my knowledge to business, so maybe that's what it looked like, but the manager is a more appropriate person.

"He's a nice guy. You saw me depressed, and you saw what caused Apple Pie to fail."

"Yeah. I definitely don't think so"

But Deneb, who hasn't seen Fujiwara's usual deeds, looks obviously misguided, looking at the distance and making a sneer face.

"But could Deneb be interested in the manager?

"No, really."

"Oh well."

"Because love is not a hobby either," she says, pointing a meaningful grin at Anemone.

……

Anemone, of course, was not sure what the word meant, so she decided to ignore it.

We reached the Trident, and Deneb stopped and said, "That's all right so far".

"Yeah."

"Now it's time to bring some decent apple pie"

"I like the one with plenty of cinnamon"

"Apples also preferred to be sour than sweet."

"Yeah."

Then Anemone says goodbye to her friend and turns back on her original path as she waits heartily for her next visit.

The apple pie she makes is really delicious.

◆

This visit to "The Age of the Good Old Mages" was also a tribute to Lynne, but most importantly to ask how Anemone was doing.

But I was relieved she seemed to be doing better than she thought.

Rather, I am glad to see an attitude that I will not show in front of my companions, as much as I regret it.

I'm surprised she's only interested in diving into the dungeon, but oh too. No. Maybe we just didn't know.

"hehe...... and how was Mr. Anemone earlier"

Deneb smiles as he traces home, remembering how she panicked earlier.

"What's going on with Fujiwara-sama when this happens is that you're curious about Russia."

Deneb was feeling the blood of a gossip-loving witch make a scene.

Well, there shouldn't be much progress since we're talking about her as cautious and timid as a small animal about relationships.

It might be a good idea to stay warm and watch.

However, we must definitely report the matter to our colleagues. I don't want to talk about it, but inside, everyone should be concerned about Anemone.

I looked forward to visiting the store the next time.

If we can catch the carriage on the way, we'll have to stop by the market and find the apples. This is the time of year, so there should have been some quality stuff out there from Redevia as well.

Appraisal "The Ring of the Crude (Good Product)"

"Tell thee, the brunette maiden, always offer two drops of her blood - and the world will lend it instead of the mask, and the blinking brilliant vertigo, the crackling tinnitus, the busy chills, as the fallen in love of Gorbilana"

Are customers aware of a play called 'Bone Broken Fort of Tiredness'? It is a tragedy in which the commander of a competent and brutal sorcerer describes the disturbances that take place as a result of his picking up the ring, the fortress of an occupied enemy country.

This is the same ring that appears on it.

Please note that this is one of the granting tools that is said to cause both personality and perversion, and it is usually strange to wear no matter how calm and well-stacked you are, you suddenly lose room in your mind as you are being stirred up by something, and if you precede unplanned, you will only repeat your failures.

Commanders in the play also use the magic of the ring to divulge confidentiality to the wrong people, mishear the message, mistake reinforcements for enemies and make them argue with each other.

And even though the end, coincidence, allowed him to write off overlapping failures, he reached a terrible end with his own hands from the earliest...

Not necessarily if you don't follow the same path as him. So when you find a ring you're unfamiliar with, you'll have to appraise it first!

As supplementary information, let us specify that it is possible to resist this effect. The total mobilization of concentration and calm seems to prevent failure yet.

Repeating it further may also be a great item for apprentice magicians, as it provides training in essential qualities when using witchcraft. It is also used as a teaching material for the College, also known as the 'Coach's Ring'.

The point may be that panicky kids aren't for magicians!
