"If you're scared, take this!"
Seele took out a green magatama and held it out to him.
"This is...?"
"A spirit artifact that can defend against attacks from spiritual entities. It only costs 200,000 yen, but since we're fated to meet, I'll give you a fifty percent discount. Just give Seele 100,000 yen."
"What?! 100,000 yen?! Sorry, I don't have it."
The boy's expression immediately changed. He looked like he had no money to give, only his life.
"Then there's nothing I can do. This is a genuine spirit artifact. Those fake consecrated items are worth millions, even tens of millions of yen. Two hundred thousand yen is already a huge loss, okay? And that's before the fifty percent discount."
Seele immediately took back the magatama.
Although it was just an ordinary magatama—no, it could not even be called jade. It was merely a common glass trinket. Seele had bought a hundred of them for 1,000 yen.
She had simply attached a Spirit Tongue to it.
But Seele felt that this Spirit Tongue was absolutely worth selling to him for 100,000 yen.
"No... I'm not saying it's expensive. It's just... I don't have any money." The boy looked helplessly at Asou Yuna as she put away the magatama. He had witnessed Seele's extraordinary strength firsthand, so the spirit artifact could not be fake. One hundred thousand yen was indeed very cheap.
But... he could not even come up with 100,000 yen.
"I see! How much do you have on you right now? You can write an IOU for the rest."
After thinking it over carefully, Seele immediately made the suggestion.
"..."
"Sister Seele, we made 100,000 yen just like that!"
Watching the boy leave with the magatama, Asou Yuna looked at the IOU and 20,000 yen in Seele's hand.
