“Tenma, this isn’t according to plan, but would it be alright if we stopped by Marnie’s shop first?”

“I don’t mind, but... what kind of store is it?”

“Leather goods, magical tools, and high-end items. The place is big. The first floor has leather goods and magic tools, and the second floor is for luxury items.”

“Luxury items? Like gemstones?”

“Yeah. Rings, necklaces, even pocket watches.”

“Pocket watches? What are those like?”

“Sorry, I’ve never actually seen one. Leaf, do you know?”

“Sorry, I don’t either.”

While the three chatted, they arrived at Marnie’s shop. A sign hung out front read:
『Leather Goods & Magic Tools - Jewel Marnie』

Inside, Mario and Marnie were seated at a table, chatting and laughing. When Mario noticed the trio entering, he immediately voiced his complaint.

“You three are so late! Do you have any idea how long I’ve been waiting? Two and a half hours! Two and a half! I was about to get full on just tea!”

All three grimaced at Mario’s whining. Marnie gave a wry smile as he added:

“Welcome, I’ve been waiting. As thanks for yesterday, I’ll give you twenty percent off anything you buy today.”

“Ooh, that’s generous! In that case—can you show us some boots for Tenma? Size 8, laced-up, durable enough for exploration quests.”

“Understood. Please give me a moment.”

Marnie called over an employee and gave instructions. Meanwhile, Tenma browsed the store, stopping at a section for magical leather pouches and Magic Water Bags.

Marnie approached to explain the products.

“This magical leather pouch may look small, but it can hold the volume of a barrel. The waist pouch size holds up to ten barrels, and the backpack variant holds thirty. All of them are enchanted with weight-reduction magic, so they only feel as heavy as the container itself. Though... since you have an item box, I doubt you really need one?”

“True, I do have one. But isn’t it conspicuous? Alff invited me to join his party just because of that. So I figured it’d be better to take things in and out of a magic pouch instead. That way, I won’t give away that I’m using an item box.”

“That makes sense. In that case, I recommend one with magic imprint registration. These ones here are that type. They’re a bit more expensive. The material is magical beast leather. Enchantments include: weight reduction, magic imprint, waterproofing, stain resistance, material reinforcement, time-dilation, and anti-theft alarms. You can register up to five people.”

“What happens if a registered user dies? Are the contents stuck inside?”

“No. Shops that sell this type of item are required to keep a record of who purchased them. Additionally, the shop’s seal is engraved on the clasp and the pouch itself, so it’s always identifiable. If the buyer dies or it’s involved in a crime, the guards and the buyer’s affiliated guild can jointly authorize a seller or a dispelling magician to open it. If multiple people are registered, the procedure only activates when all registered users are deceased.”

“I see. Then I’ll take this one.”

Tenma picked a belt-loop style waist pouch. Next, he asked Marnie about recommended Magic Water Bags.

Looking a bit apologetic, Marnie explained:

“There aren’t many kinds of Magic Water Bags. And honestly... they’re a bit inconvenient. They’re basically disposable.”

Apparently, each Magic Water Bag only dispenses water based on the mana capacity of the magic stone inside. To refill it, one needs a water-attribute magician—usually arranged through the Magic Guild. It costs 70 copper coins per refill, and the amount of water dispensed equals about 1.2 times the same value in regular water.

“Unless your party has a water-type magician, the running costs add up fast. That’s why most adventurers just buy regular water flasks or use magic pouches to store water instead. We sell these starting at one small silver coin, and buy them back for 10 copper.”

Tenma nodded thoughtfully and examined the water bags. Most of them were wine-skin shaped, differing only in size. One item, however, caught his eye—a bamboo canteen, fitted with a leather strap for shoulder-carrying.

He was surprised to see bamboo in this world at all.

On the back was a beautiful, pale blue gem. Curious, Tenma touched it—and felt something being drawn from him.

“Huh? Marnie, is this Magic Water Bag’s magic stone... empty?”

“That’s right. We charge the stone only after purchase. We have a dedicated enchanter and water magician on staff. Is something wrong?”

“Ah, I’m sorry. I’ll take this one. I think it just absorbed some of my mana.”

“Oh! Tenma, you’re water-elemental?”

“That’s right.”

“I see, then allow me to gift that one to you. The material was rare, and I’d imported it—but no one liked it, so I was thinking of returning it. I can’t charge the 70 copper mana charge now. The item sells for one small silver, and we buy it back for 10 copper. At best, we profit 20 copper coins. So, really, take it.”

“Well, if you insist... I’ll accept.”

“Please do. The material is bamboo, enchanted with stain resistance and reinforcement. It’s very durable.”

“By the way—do the number of enchantments depend on the material?”

“Yes. With normal materials, the maximum is usually three. Magical beasts or magical trees allow up to eight. Legendary materials, like dragon fangs or skins, or metals like adamantite or orichalcum, are said to accept more than ten enchantments.”

“Fascinating. Thanks for the explanation.”

At that moment, the staff member Marnie had spoken to earlier came over.

“Tenma, your boots are ready.”

Turning around, Tenma saw three pairs laid out on a table.

He walked over with Marnie, and the members of Orochi joined them. Once everyone was gathered, Marnie began explaining the boots.

**“First pair: Sole made of ebony. Leather from a salamander. The sole is enchanted with anti-slip, stain-resistance, and reinforcement. The leather has waterproofing, stain-resistance, reinforcement, and natural warmth and fire-resistance from the material. The laces are also salamander leather.

Second pair: Sole is ebony. Leather from a wyvern. Same enchantments, but the wyvern leather grants wind-resistance and ‘Flight’ properties—this enhances walking speed, running speed, jumping ability, and sometimes even hang time. Laces are wyvern leather as well.

Third pair: Sole is made from five layers of wyvern leather, magically compressed into one. Leather is salamander. Sole enchantments include waterproofing, anti-slip, stain-resistance, and reinforcement. Leather has all the same plus both material traits. Additionally, kicking power is significantly enhanced due to a synergy between fire and wind properties. Laces come in either salamander or wyvern leather.

Prices: One small silver, one small silver plus 80 copper, and two small silvers plus 50 copper, respectively.”**

“That’s expensive!” Alf exclaimed, stunned. Leaf and Mario froze.

“Can I try on the pair with the wyvern sole?”

The Orochi members stared at Tenma in disbelief. Marnie’s face lit up with delight.

“Of course! You can try all three pairs if you’d like.”

Tenma slipped his feet into the wyvern-soled boots, tightened the laces, and took a few steps.

He immediately felt the effect—each step carried him farther, his pace quickened without conscious effort. The soles moved naturally with his feet, unlike the stiff boots he’d bought from Aefa’s shop. He could even feel the floor through the soles, giving him precise feedback with each step.

“I’ll take these.”

As Tenma stated his decision, the Orochi members looked at him in exasperation, while Marnie beamed.

“I’ll include both kinds of laces—salamander and wyvern. Do you need anything else?”

“Could I see your pocket watches?”

Marnie smiled brightly.

“Of course. But before that, would you mind settling the bill?”
