​

[Heart of Alephwad]. At first glance, it was a name that seemed to have something more than a touch or a haze.

​

This was especially true for products with the words ‘breath of ~’ in them. Doesn’t that feel like paying for someone else’s bad breath? Although it was clearly a metaphor for something, there was a feeling of resistance felt in the word.

​

Other products either had no clue what they were or had names that were not very interesting. Well, it just doesn’t have a good feel to it.

​

And there was another reason why I chose the heart. Usually, when we think of the heart, the internal organs of an animal come to mind. An organ made of muscles that pumps blood throughout the body.

​

But there was no way the hearts sold at mileage stores were that ordinary. It was clear that it was either the heart of an extremely rare creature, or something similar to a heart.

​

‘Maybe it’s an elixir.’

​

To be honest, I felt more comfortable with the identity of the object being an elixir. Because if you eat it, its use ends. If a material item requires the hands of the best craftsman in the world, selecting a travel destination with an appropriate craftsman was also a task.

​

If it was indeed an elixir, it was clear that it would have unusual efficacy as it was a product sold at this price and mileage.

​

‘15,000 mileage… After buying this, I’ll have 6,600 miles left.’

​

15,000 miles was enough to register souvenirs 15 times. The price is slightly higher than the total amount of mileage I earned on this trip. I purchased the heart with slightly trembling hands, hoping that it was worth the money.

​

“… … .”

​

My mileage ran out in an instant.

​

[Heart of Alephwad] appeared in my hands as if it had been there from the beginning.

​

‘Is this the heart?’

​

Although the name in the store clearly said “Heart,” what I held in my hand was an absolute gem.

​

A gem crafted into beautiful polyhedrons that transmits light brilliantly. At first glance, it resembled a water drop and was as transparent as a diamond.

​

‘… If it’s just a gem, it’s a complete disaster.’

​

I don’t know much about gems, but I was certain that if this gem were to be sold, it wouldn’t be for a normal price. At first glance, it was a jewel that was as clear and white as a diamond and was artistically crafted.

​

What about the size? It boasted a heavy weight, almost the size of the palm of one’s hand.

​

However, in the end, it is no different from buying money with mileage.

​

‘Could it be that Heart of Alephwad was the name of the gem?’

​

It wasn’t an unlikely story. From what I had picked up in the past, it seemed like famous gems were given names that seemed to have something to do with them.

​

Feeling ominous, I hurriedly lifted it up and checked the information. This was because after purchasing an item at a store, you could see a description of what it was. A translucent window appeared before my eyes.

​

[Heart of Alephwad]

-The origin of High Elf Alephward. Alephwad is the guardian of the World Tree, a great spiritist who made a contract with the Spirit King, the king of the elves, and one of the seven warriors who fought against destruction. At the same time, he is the one who elevated Álfheimr to the position of world coordinator. For his successor, he asked a craftsman in Niðavellir to process his soul into a gem. You can obtain his arrangement by breaking the jewel.

​

Surprisingly, this gem was not just a mineral. Warrior… Other than that, it could be seen as the soul of a high elf who had achieved many achievements. No, it wasn’t just a soul; it looked similar to an elixir made from the soul.

​

I breathed a sigh of relief.

​

‘Luckily it’s not just a gem… ‘

​

It seemed safe to say that the alchemy of converting mileage into money did not occur.

​

I let go of my worries and looked at the jewels with a slightly more relaxed mind.

​

Even though I said money was no object, it was my first time seeing a piece of jewelry this size in the flesh. No, I have to say that it doesn’t even include all the videos and photos I’ve seen so far.

​

It was definitely a beauty that to some extent sympathized with why people are crazy about jewelry.

​

‘It’s the origin of the high elves… ‘

​

To be honest, since it was called heart, deep down, I was expecting something like Dragon Heart. However, it seems that 15,000 mileage was too much. It was not a small price, but it was far from being the price of a dragon heart.

​

‘… Wait, but how was this registered as a product?’

​

A thought suddenly occurred to me while I was looking at the jewels in a daze.

​

Judging by the fact that it was sold at a mileage store and the elaborate explanation, it seemed clear that this high elf named Alephwad was a real person. Tickets are not sold with virtual settings assigned to each product.

​

So doesn’t that mean that the soul of the high elf that went into the material really existed somewhere?

​

Unlike when I simply thought of it as an item, I felt a little uncomfortable.

​

‘That doesn’t mean I won’t use it, though.’

​

The heart doesn’t have a creepy shape like a real organ, and it looks no different from a jewel. If you look at the mention of ‘source’ in the explanation, the effect you get from using this is probably quite high.

​

‘It seems like the elf named Alephwad also wanted someone to take this.’

​

Otherwise, there would be no explanation that something like this was created by directly processing the soul.

​

The problem is that I am not a descendant of a high elf.

​

There was no remorse that some dirty person had intercepted the arrangements for a noble successor. The original probably still exists in the original world, somewhere unknown. It is a mileage store, which is a function provided by the ticket, but it would not have been handled so sloppily.

​

I could think of it as a fairly identical replica.

​

Even if it doesn’t, is it any of my business? I don’t even know what world it was in, but if I bought it, the story is already over.

​

‘But I don’t know if I, a human, can use that. Just because the race is different doesn’t mean it’s not effective, right?’

​

I looked at the jewel scattering sparkling light with eyes full of suspicion.

​

I wasn’t worried about side effects. Wasn’t it a ticket that took care of traffic control even when souvenirs piled up and even covered summons contracts that could put a strain on the soul?

​

‘If I save it and it turns into shit, I’ll be the only one who loses, so let’s spend it.’

​

I don’t know if any of the women on my trip were of elf descent. Since they have a higher chance of receiving the full effect than humans, it might have been like giving them an expensive luxury bag as a gift.

​

But since it doesn’t apply now, I’ll have to write this myself.

​

‘… Still, just in case, I’ll try it out while I’m traveling.’

​

First, place the gems in your inventory. And as soon as I could shake my hands, Maria spoke up.

​

-Are you finished?

​

‘uh? Uh, why were you so quiet?’

​

-I thought you were doing something important.

​

Because I wasn’t consciously talking to Maria, she didn’t know that I had been thinking about mileage. All I did was sense the atmosphere and remain quiet.

​

I called that Maria.

​

‘By the way, Maria.’

​

-yes?

​

‘Are you really not thinking about signing a contract?’

​

The contract he was talking about with Maria meant the summons contract he had made with Janey.

​

She always sang about wanting to feel magical power and inner strength. If you sign a contract with me and enter the tower, you will be registered as a summon in the tower’s system and receive the summon system.

​

The important thing here is that the summoned beast can obtain half of the summoner’s abilities as a bonus.

​

My pure magic ability is 99, and I can get half of it. Then, there was a possibility that one could feel magical power simply by signing a contract.

​

Of course, unlike Janey, it was already registered in my souvenir list, so it was unclear whether the contract skill would be applied properly, but I guess I could give it a try.

​

But surprisingly, when I first suggested a contract, Maria rejected the offer.

​

It’s still the same now. She spoke in a firm voice.

​

-no. are you okay.

​

‘really?’

​

-yes. Now, I don’t have a body, and I’m entrusting myself to nanobots. Even if I could feel magical power, I think it would only make me thirstier.

​

It wasn’t really wrong. If I felt magical power, I would want to manipulate it, but there was a part of my body that was dangerous to allow me to manipulate magical energy like that.

​

Maria continued.

​

-What I want is not only magical power, but also a perfect ‘body.’ A body that functions identically to, but superior to, a human. I want to sign a contract later, after I get a body like that.

​

‘If you want to do that… ‘

​

Maria seemed to be the type to eat all the delicious food at once and eat it last.

​

I didn’t finish it and said no more. Instead, I opened the travel destination list and looked through it.

​

‘Then where should I go?’

​

The task was to choose a travel destination to use [Heart of Alephwad].

​

It didn’t matter where I went. Because it was really just a case in point.

​

‘I’m going to go in here after a long time.’

​

[Men and Women Reversal Hero Live]

​

It was a travel destination that I shortened to Namhira for convenience.
