 Chapter 6: Business

Allan: "In order to bring Sayuri back I have to face that scumbag, and for this I have to become stronger, much stronger ! "

… So Allan is really planing to fight a god ?! May Ares look after us all !

Allan: "Trix, we have to fix the levitator and get out of here ! We're not safe here."

Allan catch the spare magic part and stride towards the exit.

"Wait, what do you mean by we're not safe here ? "

Allan: "Sayuri's crisis last night probably means that bitch was feeding on the artifact's energy. That monster may have detected our presence here. "

Allan: "Sara ! I'll ask you a favor, fly around and keep your eyes open, we may face enemies. "

Sara: "Ok ! "

Allan starts to hastily fix the coach.

"It means they're already looking for us? "

Allan: "Not us, but any strong soul to empower the artifact. "

Allan is laying on the ground under the coach, and it's a quite narrow place.

He's in a vulnerable position ! If something happens he will not be able to react fast enough. I have to stay alert and protect him !

Patrol job is not easy if you don't know what you have to be aware of, and looks like Sara didn't get much sleep. Well, I didn't either, but four eyes are better than two.

<p class="western" lang="en-US">"Allan, is it going to take much longer ?"

<p class="western" lang="en-US">Allan: "No, it's almost done. Hum.. Lissa, I know you're anxious to show me your underwear, but it's not the right time for it now."

<p class="western" lang="en-US">"Huh ! I didn't do it on purpose ! "

<p class="western" lang="en-US">Allan: "Ok ! Lets get out of here ! Sara, lets go !"

<p class="western" lang="en-US">Sara:"You may go ! I'll scout ahe.. What !! "

<p class="western" lang="en-US">Sara:"Hey ! This think is fast ! I cant fly this fast for more than a minute, at least not on level. "

<p class="western" lang="en-US">It brings me memories.

<p class="western" lang="en-US">Allan: "Hold on ! We're not in a strait road ! "

<p class="western" lang="en-US">After several hours running faster than a racehorse Allan finally decides to slow down.

<p class="western" lang="en-US">Allan: "We should be safe now."

<p class="western" lang="en-US">"I think we just traveled ten times more than we did during the last week."

<p class="western" lang="en-US">Allan: "Let me check if the coach is ok. "

<p class="western" lang="en-US">Ayumi: "You will have to do it later ! "

<p class="western" lang="en-US">Huh, what happened ?

<p class="western" lang="en-US">Ayumi: "The lunch is ready. "

<p class="western" lang="en-US">Allan: "It's just a minute."

<p class="western" lang="en-US">Ayumi: "You already skipped breakfast. You will not skip lunch too !"

<p class="western" lang="en-US">Allan: "Ok ! You won."

<p class="western" lang="en-US">­After the lunch I decided to go out for a walk

<p class="western" lang="en-US">Ayumi's food is really good, if I'm not careful I'll turn into a glutton like Trix.

<p class="western" lang="en-US">Outside the coach a strange man is trying to look under it.

<p class="western" lang="en-US">"Hey ! What are you doing ?"

<p class="western" lang="en-US">Man: "Ah, I'm sorry ! I didn't touch anything ! I was just curious about your magic carriage. You have a really interesting item here !"

<p class="western" lang="en-US">Allan: "What's going on ?"

<p class="western" lang="en-US">"He was looking under the coach."

<p class="western" lang="en-US">Man: "Let me introduce myself. My name is Arthur and.."

<p class="western" lang="en-US">Allan: "And you're actually a tanuki, right ?"

<p class="western" lang="en-US">Suddenly, in a puff of smoke, the man turns into a Gyoubu Danuki.

<p class="western" lang="en-US">Tanuki: "Heh.. you must be a really skilled mage to uncover my disguise so fast ! Ok, then let me introduce myself again. My name Satiko the hawker, if you wanna something, I have what you need !"

<p class="western" lang="en-US">Allan: "Can I browse through your wares ?"

<p class="western" lang="en-US">Satiko: "Sure ! My carriage is just over there, help yourself. "

<p class="western" lang="en-US">Trix: "Ah, I wanna see too !"

<p class="western" lang="en-US">So, this is a Tanuki's carriage, for sure there's a lot of different things here.. but there's something odd here...

<p class="western" lang="en-US">There's very few items of each kind, most of them only one.

<p class="western" lang="en-US">Allan jumps into the carriage and leisurely walks through the wares and into a large mirror. Into a mirror ?! He just passed through the mirror like is was nothing and disappeared !

<p class="western" lang="en-US">Satiko: "Ah ! Ok, you can see my storehouse too."

<p class="western" lang="en-US">A bit annoyed, she follows Allan through the mirror.

<p class="western" lang="en-US">"Trix do you.. " Huh ? Where did she go ?

<p class="western" lang="en-US">This mirror looks normal at first, even to the touch. Is it a portal to another dimension like Allan's house ?

<p class="western" lang="en-US">I touch the mirror with both hands, close my eyes and try to use the same technique Ayumi showed me to enter and leave the house.

<p class="western" lang="en-US">It worked ! My hands pass through the reflexive surface and then it's easy to get in.

<p class="western" lang="en-US">On the other side of the mirror I see a huge and bustling storehouse almost as big as Allan's gym, large shelves up to the ceiling and a colossal amount of goods

<p class="western" lang="en-US">Above me Allan is walking on a force platform followed by Satiko on a basket crane running on rails attached to the ceiling.

<p class="western" lang="en-US">Satiko: "Can I make you a question? Where did you get that magic coach?"

<p class="western" lang="en-US">Allan: "I made most of it. "

<p class="western" lang="en-US">Satiko: "Including the levitating devices under it ?"

<p class="western" lang="en-US">Allan: "Yes."

<p class="western" lang="en-US">Satiko: "Hahaha so it's you ! It's really you ! "

<p class="western" lang="en-US">Allan: "Me what ?"

<p class="western" lang="en-US">Satiko: "You are Misako's secret magic device provider aren't you ? That snake always hid her source  from me   !"

<p class="western" lang="en-US">Allan: "Ah, that.. yes, sometimes I sell her small gadgets."

<p class="western" lang="en-US">"Who's Misako?"

<p class="western" lang="en-US">Satiko: "She's my cousin. Ah, you're here too ! Ok, just don't touch anything you're not gonna buy, ok ?"

<p class="western" lang="en-US">Satiko: "So Allan, you sell magic devices only to her ?" I'm quite intere.. "

<p class="western" lang="en-US">Ayumi: "Ara, what a big warehouse ! "

<p class="western" lang="en-US">Trix: "How much stuff !! "

<p class="western" lang="en-US">Sara: "Wow, I never imagined something like this existed !"

<p class="western" lang="en-US">Lionel "Yeah.."

<p class="western" lang="en-US">Satiko: "Hey ! Where's all this people coming from ? "

<p class="western" lang="en-US">Allan: "They're my family and friends. "

<p class="western" lang="en-US">Trix: "Ah ! There's some Fairies here !"

<p class="western" lang="en-US">Satiko: "So, you trade only with Misako? Beca.."

<p class="western" lang="en-US">Trix: "Master, can I play with the fairies ? Please ! Please !"

<p class="western" lang="en-US">Ayumi: "Oh, so you know Misako. It has been some time since last time we meet her. We have a room full of things to sell her.

<p class="western" lang="en-US">Allan: "Ok Trix, but try to don't make too much fuss."

<p class="western" lang="en-US">Satiko: "If you sell them to me I'll pay you double !"

<p class="western" lang="en-US">Trix: "Yeah !!! "

<p class="western" lang="en-US">Allan: "Huh ? What ?"

<p class="western" lang="en-US">Satiko: "Not enough ? Triple ! If you sell me your magic devices I'll pay you three times the value my cousin pays you !"

<p class="western" lang="en-US">Allan: "Ok, I'll show you what I have later. "

<p class="western" lang="en-US">Satiko: "Yes !!"

<p class="western" lang="en-US">"Allan, you really make those amazing magic devices to sell them for money ?"

<p class="western" lang="en-US">Allan: "Huh ? No ! I sell only flawed creations and the ones I've already replaced for something better. Ah, and sometimes the third-rate ones I find in dungeons too."

<p class="western" lang="en-US">Knowing Allan I can say that even his flawed creations must be quite impressive too !

<p class="western" lang="en-US">Trix: "Alraune nectar ! Alraune nectar ! I love Alraune nectar !"

<p class="western" lang="en-US">Satiko: "…and take care of that crazy pixie !"

<p class="western" lang="en-US">man: "How ? "

<p class="western" lang="en-US">CRASH

<p class="western" lang="en-US">Satiko: "I don't know ! Call your fairies ! Do something !!"

<p class="western" lang="en-US">If this continues for too long Trix is gonna drive her to crazy.

<p class="western" lang="en-US">I find Ayumi in the toys section. "Ayumi, do you know what is going on with Trix ? She's even crazier than normal. "

<p class="western" lang="en-US">Ayumi: "It must be because she miss the time she lived in the fairy kingdom. "

<p class="western" lang="en-US">Ayumi: "Ara, what a cute doll ! "

<p class="western" lang="en-US">Doll : "Thank you ! My name is Dora, I take care of this section with my owner. "

<p class="western" lang="en-US">Sara: "Ahahahahah yeah !!!"

<p class="western" lang="en-US">Next to the kids toys section is the adult toys section and looks like Sara and Lionel decided to play with them.

<p class="western" lang="en-US">Ah, I wanna play with Allan too, but I'm pretty sure he will not want do do it here. I'll ask him if it's gonna take much longer.

<p class="western" lang="en-US">Trix:(whispering)" Hey, Lissa ! Look what I have here..."

<p class="western" lang="en-US">"Fairy powder ? What you're gonna do with it ?"

<p class="western" lang="en-US">Trix: "I wanna play a prank on Lionel ! Not all girls here are married, if I throw this on him they're gonna gang rape him ! Hihihih !"

<p class="western" lang="en-US">"Hey, you would not like if someone did the same with Allan right ?"

<p class="western" lang="en-US">Trix: "Ah, yeah you're right… I'm gonna save this for someone else."

<p class="western" lang="en-US">Today Trix is looking like little a devil. I hope she turn back to normal once we leave this place.

<p class="western" lang="en-US">Hey, a magic devices section, there's really a lot of things here. Some of Allan's devices will probably stored here soon.

<p class="western" lang="en-US">There's some weapons too. I wonder how powerful they are. Huh ? Ah of course, they're valuable so they are all protected by a force field.

<p class="western" lang="en-US">My sword is in my family for generations and also have some magic. I don't know if they are stronger than mine, but I'm pretty sure all of them look like toys to Allan.

<p class="western" lang="en-US">Satiko: "…I see you are really interested in my raw magic gems . Of course you are, you're specialist magic device maker. "

<p class="western" lang="en-US">Allan: "I would not say I'm a specialist."

<p class="western" lang="en-US">Satiko: "Hahaha, you're being modest I see ! But you don't have to be ! Not to me ! I already saw many of your devices in my cousin store, and they are amazing ! Only a specialist would be able to make those items."

<p class="western" lang="en-US">Satiko: "You know ? Even at a distance your devices are really easy to recognize. That magic gem looking like a star ruby is unique ! There's nothing similar to that in the market !"

<p class="western" lang="en-US">Allan: "These gems are all small or have small flaws. If I try to enchant them they're gonna shatter."

<p class="western" lang="en-US">Satiko: "Haha ! Of course ! You're a extremely powerful mage, after all. All right, then I'll show you my prized collection."

<p class="western" lang="en-US">Satiko: "I store them in this magic safe. No one but me can open it."

<p class="western" lang="en-US">Satiko: "Look ! Here I have 76 gems each one of them strong enough to hold a Baphomet's energy. These are ones you use to create your most powerful devices. But that's not all !"

<p class="western" lang="en-US">Satiko: "Here I have 12 gems that can even stand the power of a Lilim ! And the crown of my collection, this gem is probably strong enough to hold even the Demon Lord's power !! Hahaha what do you think, huh ?"

<p class="western" lang="en-US">Allan: "Looks good. I'm gonna take."

<p class="western" lang="en-US">Satiko: "W-wait ! Which one you want ?"

<p class="western" lang="en-US">Allan: "All of them. "

<p class="western" lang="en-US">Satiko: "What ?! You're kidding me right ?"

<p class="western" lang="en-US">Allan: "No. "

<p class="western" lang="en-US">Satiko: "L-listen to me ! All of them together are worth more than this deposit with all the remaining wares inside !"

<p class="western" lang="en-US">Allan: "Yeah, I know this. "

<p class="western" lang="en-US">Satiko: "W-wait ! Y-you're not gonna enchant them all at once. Th-this is just insane ! W-why don't you take only the ones you're gonna use soon ?"

<p class="western" lang="en-US">Allan: "Yeah, maybe you're right. Then I wanna the big one, two of the medium ones, and six of the smaller."

<p class="western" lang="en-US">Satiko: "Er.. ok, I-I will take them to you after I see your magic items, ok ?"

<p class="western" lang="en-US">Allan: "Ok. "

<p class="western" lang="en-US">I knew that Allan was rich, but that much ?!

<p class="western" lang="en-US">Allan: "Well, I guess that's all. "

<p class="western" lang="en-US">Satiko: "Ok, my staff will take the wares to your house. Now, may I see yours ?"

<p class="western" lang="en-US">Allan: "Sure. Just let me find my family. "

<p class="western" lang="en-US">Satiko: "I take care of it. "

<p class="western" lang="en-US">Satiko: "You, tell everybody.. Hey, didn't I tell to you take care of our guests ? Where's that pixie ?"

<p class="western" lang="en-US">man: "In the greenhouse, I lost patience threw her in a fairy hug. "

<p class="western" lang="en-US">Satiko: "You what ?!"

<p class="western" lang="en-US">man: "It's ok ! She liked it so much that started to test all of them one by one."

<p class="western" lang="en-US">Satiko: "What about the harpy and her man ?"

<p class="western" lang="en-US">man: "In the greenhouse too, playing with the remaining tentacle plants. "

<p class="western" lang="en-US">Satiko: "Ok, ok. Tell everybody that the tour is over and help take everything to their house. "

<p class="western" lang="en-US">Over than 10 people started to help us take the items we bought, and they could not take all at once.

<p class="western" lang="en-US">Ayumi got some furniture and several pots of demonic lamp flowers, Trix got few fairy hugs and several candies, there was also books, Allan's lab material, clothes, fairy powder, demon realm silver, food, tools. I never saw someone buy this many things in one go.

<p class="western" lang="en-US">Even Sara and Lionel got a few toys with their own money. I should have got something for me too. Well, never mind, all I really need is Allan.

<p class="western" lang="en-US">Satiko: "Oh ! You have a really nice house here ! Just from entering I can say this pocket dimension is bigger than my deposit. How many Mimics you employed to do this ? 15 ? 20 ?"

<p class="western" lang="en-US">Allan: "None, I did it myself."

<p class="western" lang="en-US">Satiko: "Er.. you serious ?"

<p class="western" lang="en-US">Allan: "Yes, I just made a Mimic teach me the spell. "

<p class="western" lang="en-US">Satiko: "How many years did you spend in this ? "

<p class="western" lang="en-US">Allan: "It took me a bit more than two weeks."

<p class="western" lang="en-US">She opened her mouth but nothing came out. Her surprise is no surprise to me, Allan can leave anyone speechless.

<p class="western" lang="en-US">Allan: "I store them here. "

<p class="western" lang="en-US">He opens the door and a strong light comes out, the room was almost overflowing with hundreds of items inside, almost all of them emanating Allan's energy.

<p class="western" lang="en-US">Satiko: "Hum, er... Mister Allan, are you still considering take all my prized collection ? Because I won't be able to pay for this.."

<p class="western" lang="en-US">

<p class="western" lang="en-US">

<p class="western" lang="en-US">

<p class="western" lang="en-US">
