Chapter 126 – Mysterious Magic Tools
Actually, I’m the only one staying here. This inn, Hanfarest, is a four-story building.
Even the shops on the main street are usually two stories high, and there are only a few three-story buildings, so this four-story building is the tallest in the area.
When I reached the top floor of the inn, I could see at a glance that a single corridor stretched out in front of me and that there were three doors on either side of it.
“(One on the left, two on the right. That means…)”
“This is the biggest room in the inn.”
I knew it.
It seems that the room on the top floor takes up half the floor.
There’s absolutely no need for that much space, is there?
A space of about 6 tatami mats would be enough, wouldn’t it? [T/n: About 9.72 square meters].
I think so in my heart, but I can’t stop now.
As soon as I open the door and step inside…
“This is… It’s amazing…”
A single large room with no partitions, where you could easily run 50 meters from one end to the other, jumped into view.
One, two, three huge beds… how many are there?
“When do you want to eat?”
“Eh? Um… could it be about half an hour after the bell rings?”
“Yes, of course. There are several magic tools in this room. If you have any questions about how to use them, or if you need additional magic stones, please come to the counter on the first floor.”
“Y-yes.”
“Finally, we understand that you will be staying for about a week. Would you like your sheets changed during that time?”
“We won’t be here during the day, so we would like them changed every day if possible.”
“During your absence, our staff will be entering your room, so if you leave your luggage in the room, please use the storage room at the back on the right.”
“Storage room?”
“It is a luggage storage room that requires personal authentication to open and close. The method of use is written in the room, but if you have any questions, please let us know. Our staff will explain it to you.”
“…I understand.”
“Please make yourself comfortable.”
As I watched the staff member leave with a beautiful bow, I held my head in my hands and thought to myself that I had come to a most extraordinary place.
“(What is this place? It’s much more amazing than I imagined. Isn’t this room cool? Is there even air conditioning in here?)”
When I went in and looked around, I saw that there were all kinds of mysterious-looking magic tools installed in various places.
However, unlike the familiar household appliances, I couldn’t associate them with any particular purpose, so I couldn’t really tell the difference between them and the furniture.
“This is a wonderful room.”
“Riste is surprisingly normal. I’m already at my limit with all these mysterious magic tools.”
“Fufu, I’m interested in magic tools too, and we have time before dinner, so let’s take our time looking around.”
“Yeah, okay. Well, can you enjoy this room first, Riste? I have to get my stuff from yesterday’s room.”
“Oh, that’s right. Then I’ll figure out how to use it and explain it to Loki-kun later.”
“Oh, that’s a big help! As expected from Riste! See you later!”
The distance between the inns is not far.
I rushed to the inn where I stayed yesterday to get my luggage.

“Hmm, so there’s a magic tool that produces cold air, a magic tool that produces hot water, a magic tool that cools things down, and a magic tool that produces water.”
“The magic tools that produce hot water and water need to be operated each time they are used, but they are both easy to use because you just have to lower this stick.”
“I see. As long as you know how to use them, there’s nothing to worry about. Then what I don’t understand is this one.”
“That’s right. I’ve figured out how to use it, but I don’t know what magic is in this one.”
The two of us looked at the ‘storage room’ they had just been given a brief explanation of.
The inside was about the size of three tatami mats, and there were no shelves or anything like that, so it just looked like a storage room.
However, the door, or rather the heavy metal door, has a pattern carved in the middle that looks like a magic circle.
“All you have to do is put your hand on it, right?”
“That’s right. Why don’t you try it?”
As if it were natural, I put my palm on the magic circle, and it glowed.
Riste then puts her palm on the magic circle, but it doesn’t react at all.
“It seems that only the person who activated the magic can open it.”
“Wow, this is amazing. On Earth, there are ways to identify people using voice and fingerprints, but I wonder how this works?”
Even when I look at the magic circle, it just looks like it’s been beautifully carved, so I can’t imagine that it has a device to identify fingerprints.
“Just to confirm, Loki-kun, you can see your magic power being quantified, right? Can you tell if your magic power has decreased due to your current actions?”
“Hmm? I think I can tell.”
Opening the status screen to check what Riste had asked me to do, I could see that the process of locking and unlocking the door had consumed 2 magic powers.
“It’s only gone down by 2. So it’s only going down by 1 each time? Isn’t that even more amazing?”
“It’s great. What they are doing is applying a barrier―but it is impossible to have a magic consumption of 1, so then they have to rely on an external magic supply…”
I watch silently as Riste mumbles to herself and checks the door.
When she crouches down, I see her slender, white thighs, and I rejoice in my mind.
“Just as I thought. So anyone can use it. But how do they identify the individuals? With a little magic, by making them use magic… Is this the wavelength of magic? But…”
“H-hey… Riste-san…”
“I’m sorry… I could easily understand the other magic tools because the merchants had some knowledge about them, but this is the first time I’ve heard about this, so it’s very interesting.”
“You checked it out in detail. Did you find out anything?”
“It’s just a guess, but I don’t think the people of this world could have made this.”
“So… there’s a big chance that it was made by a reincarnated person?”
“That’s right.”
I see, I see.
I don’t know who it is, but this is amazing!
I know there are some reincarnated people who get carried away, but when I think that there are people from my homeworld who develop things with functions that would surprise even the Goddess, I feel proud of them.
“We’ve found another achievement of a reincarnated person.”
It was a casual comment I couldn’t help but make.
“There’s something I’m worried about.”
“Hmm?”
“Did you say something important to Felin?”
“(…Oh no.)”
When I think about it, I’ve never told Riste about any of the achievements related to reincarnation.
I told Felin not to tell the other goddesses, but I’m the one who lets the cat out of the bag… [T/n: it means to reveal a secret carelessly or accidentally].
“Ha-haha… I might have told her…”
“Loki-kun, we just learned, right? That we have to be honest with each other.”
“Yes…”
“After meeting you, Felin’s behavior has become strange. All of a sudden, she wants to travel to the lower world and she’s started to say things that make everyone else jealous… or worried, I guess.”
“Yes…”
“I thought it was you, but what exactly did you tell her?”
I’m screwed.
I can’t get out of this.
I don’t think I can get away with lying to a god, and if I do, I’ll lose Riste’s trust.
“(Well… I was going to tell Riste or Alicia-sama. Maybe it’s better to tell Riste.)”
Having made up my mind, I passed on the information I had heard from Yagov-san, just as I had done with Felin, but only as an unconfirmed story.
