[Wizards’ Manor—Hallway]
Akira: Wh, what was that!?
Murr: Ahah, so there’s some kind of mechanism to it!
Akira: Murr! Was that you!? Just… What were you doing to tumble out of the storage room!? Are you hurt anywhere…?
Murr: I’m a-okay! I was fiddlin’ with a magic tool I had left in there, but don’t worry, it just blew up in my face!
Akira: It didn’t “just” blow up, it sounded like the whole Manor was coming down…
Anyhow, I’m glad you weren’t injured. …So? What kind of tool were you tampering with?
Murr: An old jar that changes anything you put inside into coins!
Akira: Coins…?
Murr: Yep! But don’t get your hopes up, it immediately turns it back into its original shape. Sounds more like a toy than a tool, doesn’t it?
I found it for cheap on the flea market a few days back, a real steal! I was told thieves swindled it a couple of times before it landed on their shelves.
Akira: It’s pretty obvious what they would do with that… Flea markets truly live up to their name: you can never expect what you’ll find there.
Murr: One man’s trash is another man’s treasure~ But I’m still left with a question… How many more spells could its previous owner have cast on it?
As you heard, the jar was booby-trapped to prevent anyone from prying the cork open by force!
Akira: The fact that you’re still breathing feels more and more like a miracle… You certainly couldn’t keep that in your room. But from what I can see, you’ve already made good use of the storage with some of your own belongings.
I can tell there are many curious contraptions in here, but… Are these all magic tools?
Murr: Yes? Maybe? I don’t know! I just like to peek and dig through the room sometimes!
There are more trinkets waiting to be tinkered with! Would you like to join me in this adventure, Master Sage?
Akira: As long as I can make sure it’s safe to be in there, then… Sure, why not!
