Yoru Machi naturally accepted the four Starstone Rings Shimada Yousuke handed over with a grin, without the slightest hesitation.
Neither of them thought there was anything strange about exchanging rings. In their eyes, Starstone Rings were just items and held no special meaning whatsoever.
They even slung their arms around each other's shoulders and started discussing why Starstones could sell for so much, wildly speculating whether gathering all seven Starstone Rings together might allow them to summon a Divine Dragon.
To test that theory, Yoru Machi borrowed the rings from Cui, Mei Beilu, and the Demon Flame Dragon again, placed them together, and recited all sorts of chuunibyou incantations alongside Shimada Yousuke.
However, the facts proved that there being only seven Starstone Rings was merely a matter of rarity and coincidence. They had no special properties of their own.
They sold for such high prices entirely because they were made from Seven-Colored Coral. They changed color once every 3.5 hours, making them not only extremely fascinating but also exceptionally difficult to craft.
Seeing that the Starstone Rings did nothing to improve one's strength and were merely pretty to look at, Yoru Machi and Shimada Yousuke, both straight men, immediately classified them as useless trash items that looked good but served no purpose.
Yoru Machi even said that once they returned to Mag Town, he would give one to Soya, the cute receptionist. Girls seemed to have no resistance to this sort of thing.
Whether it was Cui, Mei Beilu, or the Demon Flame Dragon, they had all seemed quite happy when they received their rings.
It was because he said that that Yoru Machi was attacked that very night!
And his attackers were none other than Cui, Mei Beilu, and the Demon Flame Dragon.
