“No, I’m sorry, but I’m not interested in the equipment, so I don’t have the eyes to see, so even if I showed it to you, you wouldn’t know.”

Contrary to expectations, Gabriel refused even to look at this thick, perfectly gripped magic wand.

“why??? “You don’t feel anything even after seeing this?”

I was rejected so firmly that I was heartbroken.

“I’m sorry, but I don’t really like relying on equipment.”

“Are you pure?!”

“It’s pure… It’s not good to use profanity.”

Suncheong.

This refers to a person who prefers to fight with their natural strength without relying on equipment or scrolls.

Of course, if you just go around like that, there’s no way you’ll get a nickname that’s close to the slang term ‘pure bug.’

The problem is that they disparage the skills of people who have increased their abilities through equipment and scrolls.

“And I think preparing equipment and scrolls is also a type of skill. However, I fundamentally think that improving your skills through training is better than purchasing equipment.”

“Wow, you were surprised.”

“That much is acceptable.”

Fortunately, it doesn’t appear to be a severe case of pure worm.

The only problem now was how to change Gabriel’s unexpected negative reaction.

“So you really have no interest in equipment at all? “It would suit you really well, isn’t it a waste?”

“If I don’t buy it, someone else will buy it and use it to my advantage.”

“If possible, we don’t say things like this. But it’s because the opportunity was so precious. “Don’t you want to take a look?”

“Do you think that equipment will suit me so well?”

For the first time, Gabriel hesitated, as if he was ignoring his friends’ sincerity.

Just when I thought I could persuade Gabriel by attacking this, Ariando had an accident.

“ok? That’s not it, he told me to bring it because he had some equipment that he thought would suit you well. “We didn’t even see what the equipment was.”

“Hey, what if I tell you all that? “It looks very suspicious.”

Shine pointed this out, and Gabrielle said with a hardened expression.

“Yeah, it’s definitely suspicious. How do they know me so that they can call me because I have the right equipment? It’s strange that that man even knows me. “Is this someone I am acquainted with?”

“That’s fine with us too… .”

“He may look very suspicious, but he is not a strange person. No, he is a strange person, but he is not the kind of person who is harmful to us.”

Ariando is gibbering.

He’s a strange person, but he’s not harmful!

It was a statement that made me think it was suspicious.

Shine also received Ariando’s words in a desperate attempt to take care of things in his own way.

“that’s right! I can guarantee it. The boss is a good person! “I’ve got something as good as a golden goblin, so if I meet him, I’ll never lose anything?”

“Hey, Golden Goblin, you spoke well. “The image fits perfectly.”

“Isn’t the image correct? “He’s skeevy, but you’re muscular.”

The Golden Goblin is actually a monster whose entire body is made of gold, and there is an extremely rare chance of encountering it with very lucky people.

Even if you meet one, you could miss it right in front of your eyes if you don’t catch it because it’s so quick.

For reference, if you captured a golden goblin, the price was the price of one building on a prime piece of land.

Since it is a creature made of gold itself, its body itself is quite expensive, but the golden goblin is more expensive because it is a symbol of good luck and wealth.

“… That’s not important now. “The problem is that we couldn’t explain it properly, so Ms. Gabrielle developed unnecessary prejudice.”

I was in a hurry to make an excuse because I felt like I had caused a strange misunderstanding, but Gabriel said,

“I won’t be prejudiced because of what you say. However, I think we should meet in person and make a judgment. “I need to know how you knew me and asked me a favor.”

“uh… “Then it’s true that you want to go together, right?”

“I originally didn’t want to go, but after hearing that he knew me, I don’t think I could stay still. “Can you guide me?”

“huh! Of course not. “We were going to go together.”

“But. “You’re not going to clear up any misunderstandings, are you?”

“I will see for myself and judge whether it is a misunderstanding or not.”

Gabriel has already become stubborn.

No matter how much I tried to persuade her, it seemed like it wouldn’t listen.

“I think I’ve created a very strange misunderstanding, but I’m not sure if it’s okay.”

“I told you that no matter the method, you just need to bring Gabriel.”

I shook my head, remembering the owner’s words to just bring me to the store no matter what method I used.

The misunderstanding that Gabriel had… .

‘If you look at the object, won’t it disappear?’

I decided to trust that the boss would take care of it.

‘There are still a lot of kids to take in.’

If this continues, we will be in trouble, so I thought we should avoid brute force calling the kids and introducing them to the general store.

It was necessary to devise a definite countermeasure, and to do so, it was necessary to hold a serious countermeasure meeting.

⁂ ⁂ ⁂

“Is this this place?”

“huh.”

“I didn’t know there was a general store in a place like this.”

“So this is the Golden Goblin’s headquarters. “There’s no way you can become a Golden Goblin if someone catches you.”

“Giggle!!”

I hear children’s voices saying strange things.

If they came, they would come in, but I don’t know what they are doing outside.

“Boss, we’re here!!!”

thud!

The door opened and Ariando was the first to enter the store.

Gabriel comes in next, his eyes sparkling with wonder.

When Gabriel appeared, who was taller than I expected, my eyes turned towards him without realizing it.

‘It’s been a while since I was summoned, but now I’m finally seeing that face up close.’

When I was summoned, of course I didn’t pay attention.

Rather than the joy of summoning her, all I could think about was having to keep picking what was left.

And unless I make a sign, the summoned character returns to its original place without being aware of its existence.

Since no one found that strange, it was clear that Gabriel didn’t even remember meeting me.

“Hello, my name is Gabriel. “I heard you said you wanted to meet me.”

A firm tone of voice and a restrained gesture reminiscent of a soldier.

The Gabriel I was seeing on the screen was alive and moving in front of me.

As befits a woman with an honest personality, her tightly tied golden hair is gently swaying.

“Let’s sit down and talk about the details.”

First, we brought Gabriel into the store and sat him down.

Other kids automatically take a chair and take a seat without being told to do so.

Judging by the fact that there were kids going up to the second floor, they must have gone looking for snacks.

‘Now it’s completely acting like it’s its own house.’

Unlike the other kids wandering around distractedly, Gabrielle was staring at me.

It’s as if they’re trying to find out what kind of person I am.

“Do you need a car?”

“it’s okay. “I’m not thirsty.”

“Then shall we get straight to the point?”

“I would appreciate it if you could do so.”

In fact, I knew that if I asked the kids to bring someone, they wouldn’t say no.

But aren’t there just one or two kids I’ll be calling from now on?

At first, it may be something that can be done as a favor, but if it continues, it is natural that it will become burdensome for the person asking the request.

It will become tiresome to keep listening.

‘You have to take care of it when they say they will give it to you.’

So, I took this opportunity to ask the kids to bring the person I had pinpointed to the store.

I like that I can ask my kids for favors without any pressure, and the kids aren’t asked to do difficult things either, so isn’t that a good thing for both of us?

Of course, the kids readily accepted, asking if this was all they were asking for.

However, since the number of children I was asked to bring was quite large, their eyes became a bit harsh.

‘Still, I have to sell what I have to sell. ‘How much have you saved?’

The first person to ask the children to come was Gabriel.

Although I haven’t been able to get my hands on him yet, he is Grade A, but his basic stats are All-A and he is a promising player with monstrous growth potential.

In other words, he is a child who needs to be raised with care.

“At first glance, it seems like I heard something, but I had something I wanted to sell to Mr. Gabriel, so I asked him a favor. “As you can probably tell by looking at it, it’s similar to the equipment kids have.”

“I’ve heard that you sell good equipment, but I don’t understand why it’s me. There are quite a few kids who are jealous of their equipment.”

Among so many children, why did you single out yourself?

This part was a question that you didn’t have to worry about.

“That’s because you are much more special than those kids.”

“… “It’s special?”

“Then you don’t think of yourself as special?”

“No, not that.”

According to the setting, she would have grown up hearing geniuses since she was young.

Receiving an SSR rating in itself is proof that it is special.

“The front line is still very close. It’s already been several months and we still haven’t been able to completely resolve the monster wave. “Under these circumstances, all I could do for humanity was to help and support people like you with special talents.”

“… … .”

Gabriel’s thoughts became complicated after hearing what I said, so he did not open his mouth easily.

“Of course, I also have to make a living, so I’m not saying I’ll provide support for free. They probably aren’t the ones who need support anyway. So, the idea was to sell the things I own for money.”

“Are you sure that thing will help me? Furthermore, you think it will be helpful for humanity.”

“of course. I have no intention of going into business without that level of confidence. “I guess I spent the rest of my life just having fun spending the money I earned when I was young.”

We were having a serious conversation, but some kids came by and were listening in on our conversation.

Shine raised his hand and said.

“With your stuff, I was able to move up from class B to class A. I didn’t become part of Class A simply because of the equipment. “My skills have improved since then, as if the blockage in my growth had been cleared up.”

“So do i. “My overall skills have improved since I got the magic wand.”

The children who have personally experienced the truth of what I say are vouching for it.

You can’t say you don’t believe that people who have first-hand experience are giving guarantees.
