Item Cheat na Dorei Harem Kenkokuki - Chapter 2.3

Chapter 2.3

[…]

“I want you to live freely… I wish I could get along with my cute bride and many other races, I want to befriend interesting people . Regarding the Wiz colleting subject, I want all of them simply because it stimulates my collection desires .   I was only thinking about the final result when saving Iris, in other words, I acted upon my own self-interest . That’s why you shouldn’t say stuff like “you saved my life twice” . I just want to have fun and enjoy my life . Got it?”

Iris nodded .

“I understand . But regardless of whether or not thou had a hidden intention, the fact that thou saved me does not change .

There is no doubt about it . That’s why, Tina, mocking Shouma is like making me thy enemy . ”

Looking straight at Tina with those crimson eyes, Iris spoke in a serious tone .

“I understand . If Onee-sama says so, I will have a test to see if your husband is a suitable person for you or not . ”

“A duel then?!”

“As I said I can’t have a duel with you! You really are a belligerent person, aren’t you…”

Tina sighed as if she was tired .

Then, what will the contents of the test be?

“You said you’d collect all kinds of Wiz cards . If you successfully manage to do it, only then I will let you marry Onee-sama, and I’ll call you Onii-sama . ”

“Sure do . When that happens, please come to our wedding only wearing underwear . ”

To Shouma’s lascivious comment, Tina responded with a huffy face .

“It’s a deal . Not even talking about wearing underwear-only, I will attend it nude . ”

“Stop it . It’s embarrassing hearing these things from a family member . ”

“It’s a win-win situation then . ”

“Yes, it indeed is . ”

They shook hands while ignoring Iris .

After that, Shouma said:

“I have a question for you, Tina — You created 50 cards in those 50 years right?”

“Yes . Since I have the power of <Fusion>, I can combine existing Wiz cards to create new ones… But… that power can only be used once every year . ”

“And what are you going to do with the newly created Wiz cards?”

“They’ll be a prize for the quest . ”

About the quest, it’s a duel which is held every other month . It’s not much different from most duels, except that Tina decides all rules and prizes .

While held in the Spirit community, various things such as buildings, plots of land and Wiz cards are made into prizes .

New Wiz cards will be a prize every year — In that month’s quest, creatures from all around the world will participate, the competition will be even more intense .

“Later, a new Wiz card is going to be the prize . ”

It’ll be the quest three months from now, right?

“Well, I certainly will be looking for it… Also, I surely want to obtain those 50 Wiz cards by then . In the last 50 years, 50 new Wiz cards were made – but, where are the owners of those cards?”

“I cannot specifically tell you where those 50 cards are . I want to help my Onee-sama, though, because I’m the supreme god substitute I can’t put my personal feelings above everything else . ”

Tina said firmly .

Even still, she had a relaxed expression .

“I am not the supreme god, only a substitute – so it’s okay for me to do something special for someone here . ”

Shouma smiled .

“Nice . I like flexible people . ”

Hearing that, Tina blushed .

“I-It doesn’t matter if you like me or not . First, you have Onee-sama . Of course I still do not accept your relationship! That’s why it is inexcusable to be talking about another woman!”

To regain her composure, Tina coughed lightly . Then, she began to talk frantically .

“So, in the last 50 years, new Wiz cards were made, and there are only one of each in the world — that makes them extremely rare . Such rare Wiz cards, they must be owned by very influential people . Because they sell at a very high price . Also, they can be robbed in a duel . Even if I don’t want to disclose information about the owners, the 50 cards are scattered throughout all of the 8 big communities . ”

“In other words, they are not in the Spirit community where we are now . ”

“That’s right . ”

Nodding, Tina gazed at Iris with her emerald eyes .

“So Irirs-oneesama, thanks for giving me some of your free time . To prepare for the quest three months from now, I have to meet with the spirits . ”

“Okay . It was good meeting thou today . ”

“Me too, Onee-sama . See you again sometime!”

Tina turned her back .

As if remembering something, she turned around again,

“Thank you for helping me Onee-sama, thank you very much… Shouma…san”

She was really embarrassed while saying that .

When Tina disappeared, the effect of <Silent> also expired . While in the lively place, Shouma sits down and opened <Card List> to check his amount of money .

Lightly, Iris started speaking .

“Well… It’s probably time to eat something . ”

“Is there a card for making food?”

“Ah . It seems I haven’t eaten in my entire life . ”

When he checked <Card List> before, it was revealed that there were about 50 . 000 kinds of special Wiz cards, excluding cheat Wiz cards, of course . Cards for water, for food, for precious metals, for building… Anyway, a lot of things were kept there .

Astral’s currency is [Flim] [Dolph] [Vill] [Landt] . One Flim is equivalent to one fruit, one Dolph is equivalent to a common person’s meal, one Vill is equivalent to the daily salary of common people, one Landt is equivalent to the monthly rent of an apartment building . And, Shouma currently owned 100 . 000 . 000 Landt .

Incredibly, that value is enough to live safely for the rest of your life . But for Shouma, to duel is the best entertainment . As long as he is in Astral, Shouma can play as much as he wants .

“In short, he did an amazing job on collecting money until now . Perhaps he wanted to pass all his wealth on… My grandpa sure was a calculating guy . ”

Well, he did not want to condemn him . If it wasn’t for him getting all of his wealth, gathering all Wiz cards from zero would be very hard . Besides, 50 years ago his grandparents were newlywed .

Torn apart from his most beloved wife, Atsumori must have been gathering Wiz cards with the mad aim of returning to his original world no matter what . He could spare no mercy for the vanquished .

“Anyway, there is a lot of money, let’s just go eat in a shop!”

“Whatever thou prefer Shouma . I cannot eat anyway . ”

Oh yeah, Iris was a spiritual body . Shouma’s life force was her food .

“Oh yeah, then please fill your belly with my life force . ”

“I’m sorry about the trouble . Also, have thou decided which shop thou want to go to?”

“Let’s eat in the busy Bunny girl’s shop . ”

“Bunny girl… Oh, it’s the Beast shop . Thou better not go there . ”

“Is the Beast’s cooking bad?”

“That’s not it . As I said, thou have the appearance of a Hyural . Certainly this is a neutral community, but the races still are a little bit hostile to each other . I’m just warning thou so thou don’t get embarrassed if they decide to not serve thou . But if thou decide to go eat there, I will go with thou . ”

“That’s it . Well, we still don’t know if the Bunny girl dislikes me or not . ”

Even if the majority of races hate each other, to decide things like that on your own is just stupid .

Although it may not be something that stands out in all the tribes, there should be some people who are not as discriminatory as Iris .

“If it’s something thou want, I will follow thou . ”

“Okay, let me do that then . ”

Then, Shouma headed for the Bunny girl’s shop .
