CH 126

Today is the day Rafishal and Obi-Wan are moving out. The members of the Iron Knights were summoned to help carry their belongings.

“You’re carrying this!”

The amount of luggage that Jean was surprised to see was so huge that it could have been an entire house.

“I tried to sort through it, but there are still a lot of things I need…….”

“You don’t need this battered wardrobe.”

“It’s a wardrobe of memories…….”

“Well, what about this desk?”

“That’s also a desk of memories…….”

If I think about it, Rafishal has lived a very long life, so he must have a lot of mementos…….

“We’ll just have to split up and take the big furniture and tools with the magicrafts.”

The men and adult women carried the items by hand, while Nanami and Farma were in charge of transporting the big furniture with the magicrafts.

It was a lot of luggage, but it didn’t take much time for everyone to carry it. In about half a day all the luggage was into the ride carrier.

“Huh, okay, you got it all in, now we’re hungry, let’s have a little welcome party.”

No one objected to Jean’s proposal, and preparations began for the welcome party for Rafishal and Obi-wan. Jean, Farma, and Nanami cooked the food, Alana and Emina prepared the drinks, and Arthur was put to work by everyone.

I had something I wanted Rafishal to see before the welcome party, so I had come to the hangar with him during the preparations, feeling bad about it.

“It’s this magic machine……”

I was asking if Rafishal, who can create Ludia cores, would be able to fix Viktor for me.

“Wow, Viktor, I never thought I’d see him again.”

“Do you know it, Rafishal?”

“It’s a magicraft created by one of my students.”

“Oh, so you can fix it?”

“Sure, I’ll take care of it.”

I’m relieved to hear those words. We may need the powerful Viktor when the time comes, so it’s a good thing that it can be fixed.

“The Ludia core is looking pretty worn out…….You might need to regenerate the core…….”

“Is it hard?”

“It’s not hard. It’s very expensive.”

“If it’s a matter of money, I’ll talk to Jean about it, but how much will it cost?”

“I need a lot of orichalcum and phoenix stone, both of which I need about 10 kilos of…….Obi-Wan, do you know what the current price of orichalcum is?”

“Yes, I believe it’s about a million gold a gram.”

“That’s how much it costs.”

“Wait a minute, 10 kilos means 10,000 grams…….Oh……10 billion gold!”

“And that’s just for the cheapest orichalcon, the phoenix stone will cost twice that.”

“Even ten billion is a lot of money, and I need another twenty billion, or thirty billion……in total. It’s impossible. If I tell Jean that, he might die of fright.”

“I’m sure you’re right, but you need to generate a Ludia core to create a class 2 magicrafts, so you’ll need to get one anyway.”

“Master, what about the story you told me earlier about the giant beast’s nest?”

Obi-Wan suggested something to Rafishal.

“I wonder if there’s still a nest of giant beasts at…….It’s true that we got a lot of orichalcon and phoenix stone in the old civilization.”

“You’re going to need it anyway, so let’s go get it at that giant beast’s nest.”

When I said that, Rafishal thought for a moment and agreed.

“Yeah, let’s go for it.”

Once I had come to that conclusion, the welcome party seemed to be ready and Nanami came to call me.

“Yuta, what are you doing? I’m starving!”

“Okay, I’ll be right there.”

After replying to Nanami, I spoke to Rafishal.

“I’ll tell Jean and the others about it later, it’s a money matter and I think they’ll agree.”

More importantly, it’s time for food now, and like Nanami said, I’m about to collapse from hunger. Rafishal, Obi Wan and I were rushed by Nanami to the welcome party.
