Spoils of War
The day after the auction, we were looking at our spoils again.
(Oniichan, is this a magic ring?)
Yeah, it is! We got it from the auction yesterday.
(Eh!?)Joule had spotted the magic ring with his keen eyes, so I explained how we got it with delight, and Vector let out a surprised voice.
(Niichan! Then, are we not going to a dungeon anymore!?)
Eh!? Is that so!?
Apparently, they thought we were going to an advanced-level dungeon to get a magic ring, so they assumed we wouldnt go anymore since we got one. Moreover, Allen and Elena took Vectors words seriously.
No, no, were going.
I know, right~ Scared us silly~
I promised you, didnt I? Besides, it would be convenient to have more magic rings, so lets keep looking for them~Lets set a high goal for the number of magic rings, so everyone can have one.
(Geez~ dont scare us like that, Niichan~)
(Vector, you just misunderstood and jumped to conclusions!)
(Ow. Mile, that hurts~)
(You deserve it!)
Mile climbed on Vectors head and slapped his forehead. He was getting some educational guidance.
(Oniichan, whos going to wear this magic ring, then?)
Well, I was thinking Feat or Bolt what do you think?
(Yeah, I agree. I think either Feat or Bolt would be fine!)
I think it would be best to have Feat, who is reliable and like an older sister to everyone, or Bolt, who is also reliable and has excellent mobility, wear the magic ring.
(What!? Not me!?)
Vector, huh.
Vector is the one who acts the most freely and has trouble carrying the monsters he defeats and such. But for some reason, I feel like I shouldnt give him the magic ring.
(Its obvious that we cant give you the magic ring, Vector! You are already reckless enough, so you will become even more reckless!)
I agree with Mile.
(I think Bolt would be the better choice.)
(Me?)
Feat suggested Bolt.
(Because, Bolt is faster at flying than me. Things like communication, or transportation dont you think he will need it more for things like that?)
Ah, wait a minute! If thats the case, I feel like Ill casually ask Bolt to do more transportation jobs. Thats not good.
(Aniue, Ill gladly accept that! Please tell me to do more.)
Are you really sure you dont mind?
(Yes!)
I see. Then, Bolt will wear the magic ring.
(Thank you very much.)
The wearer of the magic ring was decided to be Bolt. Its convenient to make use of his freedom of action. But, I have to be careful not to overwork him just because hes convenient.
Next shall we go and distribute the souvenirs?
Yeah! Lets go!
Next, we decided to distribute the souvenirs we got from the auction to the Ruven family. Everyone was happy, but Wald-san was not present today because of work, so we couldnt give him anything. Well give it to him later, but since we had the chance, we got permission from Rosalie-san and secretly hid a sword in his room. We asked her to check his reaction when he found it and tell us how it was. I wondered if she would refuse but she agreed with a chuckle. Shes surprisingly easygoing. After we finished distributing the souvenirs, we headed to the castle to meet Al-sama as promised.
Takumi, you came. Come this way.
Yes huh!?
We were greeted by a cheerful Al-sama who guided us to a reception room where Tristan-sama and Grace-sama were waiting.
Takumi, you have a teleportation device, dont you? Why didnt you tell us!
Why because I forgot we had it?
As soon as we sat down, Tristan-sama questioned me about the teleportation magic tool. Well, I have a fixed answer for that, so I told him, and he froze with his mouth open. Was it that unexpected?
Fufu, thats so like you, Takumi-san~
When Takumi said he had it, he had a now that you mention it face.
My, oh my.
Grace-sama laughed amusingly.
Umm, where do I find the recognition code?
I took out the teleportation device from my Infinite Storage and looked for the recognition code. I should have checked it yesterday or this morning but I forgot.
Takumi, first you need to register as the owner. Touch the crystal on top and let your magic flow into it.
Oh, okay.
I followed Al-samas explanation and registered as the owner.
Since you got this one from a dungeon, it is definitely the initial version, so the first one who registers their magic power becomes the owner. But once you decide on an owner in this case, this magic tool wont let anyone change the owner unless you give a permission.
I see.
That means you cant use it, even if you forcibly take it from the owner.
Next is the user registration. The owner can use it of course, but if you want to give permission to others, you need to register their magic power as well. Only the owner can operate it, of course.
I see. So that means, only the owner has the authority to delete user registrations and such, right?
Thats right.
I see. Well then Allen, Elena, shall we register you?
Yea!
Oh, can you register multiple people?
Yeah, theres no limit.
I usually keep it in my Infinite Storage, so they wont be able to use it without me anyway, but Ill register them just in case.
By the way what happens if the owner dies?
Others can still use it as long as they are registered as users, but they wont be able to register anyone else. But well, you can also register multiple owners, so do that to avoid making it unusable.
Oh, then lets make Allen and Elena owners instead of users.
When I touch the magic tool, I somehow get a sense of how to use it in my mind, so I had Allen and Elena let their magic flow and register them.
When youre done registering, check the recognition code. Itll come to you if you think about it.
Okayah!
When I thought about the recognition code, a string of letters and numbers popped up in my mind. It wasnt written on the outside of the device.
You got it. Tell me the code.
I said the recognition code as I saw it. Then I noticed that Al-sama had prepared another teleportation device and was touching it. Was he doing some registration work?
This is our recognition code, so please register it, Takumi.
Register how?
If you recite the sequence I said in your mind, it will be registered.
This magic tool has been assembled with quite the advanced technology. I remember hearing that it wasnt made by human hands, but that makes sense.
Oh, it looks like its done.
I see. For now, the minimal operation is complete.
Its surprisingly easy to use.
It really ended easily. Its a really high-performance magic tool that can be operated entirely by mental manipulation.
It wont work at all if someone other than the registrant touches it, so its not that simple.
Umm, can I touch your magic tool to see? Oh, it wont break if someone who isnt registered touches it, right?
Thats okay, theres no problem.
I tried touching an unregistered magic tool to see what would happen, but there was really no response, so it was just like an ornament.
Oh, by the way. You only have registered one recognition code so far, so you know which one it is, but when the number of codes you have increases, you wont know which one is which. You can also attach names to the recognition codes, so please register the code as belonging to this place.
I dont need to memorize the string of letters and numbers and distinguish them. Thats good.
Oh~ by the way, is that magic tool a castle equipment?
This one is something that we, the Royal family members, use for our private use.
Its a magic tool for private use? Is it okay to let me contact you like that?
For now, even if only registrants can operate it, Ill make sure that the magic tool I have doesnt connect to the Royal family of Guardia from our side.
