—
At my grumbling, Jelly tilted his head.
< Didn’t you ask him to investigate a loan shark, nya? >
“What? When did I…”
< You asked him to do it. That cornfield is the loan shark’s base, nya. >
“……?!”
Wait a minute, does that mean…
“So, he’s in danger of going berserk because of me…?”
As I muttered in disbelief, Jelly clicked his tongue.
< This is why you shouldn’t help pink-haired beasts, nya. Haa. >
In an instant, I was reduced to trash.
‘So that’s why it wasn’t in the original story.’
I had wondered why such a major incident wasn’t in the original. If I caused it, it couldn’t have appeared in the original story.
I pressed my throbbing temples and spoke with determination.
“Let’s go right now.”
Since I caused this mess, I had to fix it.
“But how do we get there?”
I can’t ride a horse. So, the only option is to wake up the coachman and take a carriage….
I was worried about making it in time and whether I’d arouse suspicion.
As I was pondering seriously, Jelly tapped my ankle with his tail and said.
< There should be a nyuseful item in the item shop. >
“…You know about the item shop too.”
< …Nya? >
Jelly avoided answering again. His cuteness only added to my annoyance.
‘Well, whatever. That’s not the urgent issue right now.’
I glared at him sharply but did as he suggested and opened the item shop.
Since betting at the temple, I had opened the item shop a few times but never bought anything.
Nothing had caught my eye, so I hadn’t looked at it for a while.
‘And shopping can be endless once you start browsing.’
Since it was a time to save money, I had deliberately avoided opening it.
〈 ITEM SHOP 〉
The item shop I opened for the first time in a while was still packed with items.
Among them, there were items marked with 〈 New 〉.
“New items get stocked too?”
< The stocks change based on your reputation. >
“So, you’re not even trying to hide it anymore?”
< Mraow? >
“Never mind.”
Instead of continuing the pointless conversation, I searched for a useful item.
‘Oh, this one.’
Something caught my eye.
〈 One-Time Warp Ticket 〉
There were only three in stock, and the price was…
‘Three million coins?’
Three million coins were equivalent to three million shillings. Why is this item so damn expensive?
As I was in shock, the detailed information of the item popped up.
〈 No matter how far the distance, travel instantly! Time is more precious than gold. Secure your precious time for just three million coins! 〉
…They would have been great in sales.
With bitter admiration, I pressed the purchase button.
Moments later.
I arrived at the cornfield I had seen in my dream as if I had warped there.
“Ugh, I’m dizzy.”
How can a warp item cause motion sickness? This definitely warrants a refund.
While I was trying to suppress my nausea, Jelly was sniffing around the area.
His yellow eyes gleamed sharply in the night.
< Oh nyo, it seems they’ve already entered the cornfield, nya. >
“…How on earth am I supposed to find two people in here?”
I stared at the eerie cornfield.
The damp summer breeze rustled the leaves, making a sssss sound. The stalks, which seemed twice as large as regular corn, felt intimidating.
It felt more like a dungeon than a cornfield.
< Don’t worry about that. I’ll guide you to where they are, nya. >
Seeing me shivering, Jelly raised his chin confidently.
“You?”
< Hmph. I am a sacred beast capable of that much, nya. >
I was skeptical but decided to trust him for now.
“Wait a minute. Before that…”
I needed to prepare before entering the cornfield.
‘I saw that item in the shop earlier…’
Ah, found it.
After checking the item description and making the purchase, Jelly urged me.
< Are you ready nyow? >
“Yes. Let’s go.”
< Nya! >
With a vigorous shout, we entered the cornfield. We wandered through the maze-like cornfield and—
< Here it is! Nyow, I’ll head back first! >
“What? You’re leaving me here? How?”
< I’m a great sacred beast, so I can do it, nya. Don’t worry about me. Just make sure you come back safely, nya. >
“You’re not planning to run off, are you?”
< Haa, I won’t run off, so stop worrying. I despise clingy people, nya. >
With that, Jelly trotted away.
His swaying hips and tail gradually disappeared from sight.
