Nozomanu Fushi no Boukensha

Nevertheless, it was a large mansion, I think, while walking.

Well, not surprisingly, when I saw it from the outside, it was already almost as big as a castle rather than a mansion.

If I were to give you something odd, would it mean that there are not so many people in the mansion?

It was different from some servants and thinkers, but considerably less.

It seemed too little to maintain this many mansions.

When I asked honestly about it, all the servants in my house came back because they were excellent.

Well, if you look at Isaac, I do think he's excellent, but how brilliant or physically demanding... I can't help thinking about it.

In fact, this house is tightly spinning, and there's no dust in the aisle, on the walls, or on the chandelier.

Wherever you look at the mansion, it's well maintained and you don't have enough hands. At least you can't feel it from the condition of the mansion itself.

"... here it is"

And it was a door made of heavy iron that Laura put her hand upon.

When I opened it, there was a long stone staircase that seemed to allow me to reach the bottom of Naruto.

"Hitoshi, Ka"

"Yep. Demonic props are caged in magic and mind, so they're basically pretty sturdy, because there's still not a lot of old stuff. I care about preservation. The basement here also has constant temperatures and humidity, so there's not much strain on the magic props"

When it comes to magic props that employ complex mechanisms, it cannot be said that they are simply sturdy because they have magic cages in boulders, but they are certainly basically quite sturdy.

As the adventurer strengthens his body with his magic and chi, the tools themselves are infused with magic and chi, and his endurance grows.

Thanks to this, demonic props can endure considerably longer years than normal tools.

Pretty old, that's why the magic items that are made a national treasure are still in mint condition.

Of course, that being said, it can be used abusively or will break quickly depending on the use again... but the area is the same as a normal tool.

I'll follow Laura down the stairs once and for all.

Behind me is Isaac.

There are no windows or anything on the stairs leading to the basement, but I can feel the air flow, and again the walls on both sides as Laura progresses, pounding, pounding, and lighting.

Again, I guess that's a demon prop.

Although it is true that the price is not so high because the mechanism is simple and easy to mass produce, it is nevertheless surprising that there is so much to go on.

Besides, it's made to detect and light people passing, and then the digits will still be different from the price of a typical light magic item.

I'm wondering how the hell this Latour family built their fortune so far.

I'll ask you later, I thought.

Then, how long would you have gone down the stairs?

Laura stopped perfectly and reached in front of one door.

The door was fitted with a plate of unsure material, and Laura touched the plate with her right hand.

Then, poof, the whole door glowed, and then the sound echoed in my ear as if the key had been opened.

"Okay, I'm coming in."

When Laura said so and grabbed the handle of the door, and pushed it, the door slowly opened.

After all, I guess the earlier act was what it took to unlock the door.

Beyond the door is darkness.

I can't see from here what's inside.

But Laura doesn't seem to be afraid of that darkness, and quietly walks into the door.

I followed Laura for a moment with hesitation.

◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆

Through the darkness, Laura proceeded without any hesitation.

And stop,

"... the light."

Whimpering like that, the area is surrounded by light all the time.

Close my eyes for a moment on that blindfold, but soon I got used to the light.

Then I stare around......

"This is amazing."

There were mountains and a bunch of laid demonic props rolling around like crap.

No, it's well arranged.

However, the size is inconsistent, and the number is only enormous, and if you look at it all the time, it just seems to be placing it unconstructively.

Laura explains that you understand how I feel.

"I'm still the one cleaning this up. I mean, it used to be more of a mess... because it was like I was really throwing it in the order I got it. Now they are placed together according to certain criteria, such as proper uses and types, ages, artifacts or labyrinthine output. Too many, not many are still unclassified, but we just have to take the time to do it."

Surely this many, it would be a hassle just to sort it out.

It's not like organizing a warehouse in a house.

Some of them think of giant magic tools that are three times more likely than others, and objects, but how do you move that thing...

I don't care what you think with the power of Laura, but will Isaac work hard?

The Latour servants are in trouble......

Laura continues.

"From this, you can take whatever you want. It is honestly subtle to say that they are all first-class items… but it is up to you, Mr. Lent, to see them."

"What does that mean?

I'm curious how to say it and honestly ask, Laura says.

"As you may know, the Demon Prop is to say that it is a jade stone mix. In the meantime, I've been collecting what I care about, and it's really just a mix of crap. I don't mind if you choose that kind of thing and take it, but if you're an adventurer, I thought you might want useful magic gear, just a heads up."

"I see..."

There are also magic items in the world that just keep going on the spot, etc.

Even though I chose to choose because of it, that's what I ended up with, and then I can't even see it.

But I have a tough eye for that.

I know a lot about commonly known magic props, but what we have here is something many have never seen.

Probably the majority of the dishes were obtained at auctions and such.

Then... it doesn't seem like there's anything I can do just to see it.

So I was a little worried, and Laura gave me a help boat.

"If anything bothered you, what would it look like if you told me? … It's not that I don't know what it's for, so in that case, I just need you to make sure with your own eyes."

"I appreciate it... but why did you collect that stuff...?

That's the crap, such as magic props that don't know what they're used for.

That's the question I thought, but Laura laughed,

"That's what collecting habits are. Anyway, I want it! That's all."

I answered that.

Well, I don't know. But I don't.

In a way, it is the truth.

The owners of houses with some financial means, such as aristocracy and merchants, rarely exhibit collecting habits as if they were caught in paranoia.

Sometimes I hear things like collecting locks and even just goblin demon stones.

It's certainly quite funny when you show it to me, but it's subtle from others' point of view.

It's okay because I'm just enjoying myself, but why, it's the humanity that makes me want to ask.

And there's no logical answer there.

I want to collect it, that's all.

Well, given that, it's a relatively palpable hobby to call it the LaTour family's collection of witchcraft.

That's why I get expensive and rare magic equipment, too, and I thought I'd stop complaining.
