Two devices, a box of fifty kilograms of gunpowder, a box of primer caps, a bundle of half-ton copper pieces, and dozens of pounds of gold, the trio was loaded.
After a long time, the gangster, who was passed out in his desk, awoke with a start.
He felt like he was having a nightmare.
In the dream, it seemed as if he had been beaten and broken, and had been ransacked from his treasure trove, and that the three villains had robbed a whole chest of gold bars.
Standing up, he was about to go out to make sure, but a sharp pain came from his right leg, making him unsteady on his feet.
Lowering his head, he saw his right leg held together by two boards, bound with twine.
"No... Nightmare!!!"
He instantly turned pale and tried to recall that dream scene, but no matter how much he thought about it, the faces of those three people were never able to be recalled, and with the passage of time, the figures of those three people began to gradually blur...
...
In the morning, Fioz in the tailor's store puts down his newspaper and watches as the trio, who again don't know what they're doing, come back from outside.
Suddenly, his eyes narrowed.
On her daughter Fina, she wore a white one-sleeved robe, well-made, brocade-embroidered and cloudy, very pretty, with a golden lace spreading all the way down the neckline to the small of her back before it came to a mute halt, the white color erased thereon, revealing the black corset inside.
On the witch, on the other hand, a white corseted dress with golden lace rising from the hem of her thighs to the bottom of her breasts, parted to hold the peaks of the mountains encased in black tights, and for richness of match she wore a white shawl over it.
With his years of experience as a tailor, he could tell at a glance that it was a piece of clothing that had been split in half.
Half each?
...
Back in the basement, Eleazar watches as the two men release their equipment from the space.
The lab, which was already not very spacious, now had a long table and two pieces of metalworking equipment added.
Eleazar immediately went to work and started replenishing the silver bullets while the two women divvied up the gold bars.
Evelea counted the gold and bristled, "See, I told you you'd get rich, didn't I. I asked you to buy me a dress and you wouldn't even do it!"
Eleazar, who was making silver bullets, didn't look back, "Be careful with that, don't forget the last case we checked in Enloe Town, large purchases of property of unknown origin are recorded, and someday someone with a good mind will be able to find out what's wrong when they look through your files."
"It's okay, I can go to the black market flowers~"
Fina glanced up at her at the sound of her voice, "Going to the black market, do you still need to spend money?"
In that kind of extra-legal place, acting would have been without scruples, and she would still need to pull out the gold bars that made people miss her for what she could handle with a charm spell?
Evelea stiffened her hand at once.
"If I can't spend it in the open, and I don't need to spend it in the dark, then why did I work so hard to bring back this box of gold?"
"Heh, who knows what you're thinking."
Eleazar looked back at her helplessly as well, "Weren't you the one who had to take it back?"
The witch suddenly scattered her hands, "I don't care, I'll spend your money from now on anyway!"
After that, she walked up the stairs in a rage.
Fina glanced at her back, "Where did you trick this fool?"
"I actually do think she's pretty savvy."
Eleazar shrugged back, "What this amounts to is that it clears the money, and she can spend my money in the future with a clear conscience."
Fina cocked her head, "So what are you going to do with the pile of gold bars?"
Eleazar stops what he's doing and walks over and gestures.
He was seen picking up a gold bar, breaking off a hard piece with his fingers and kneading it into a small ball.
"Here, this is the master's reward for you, get to work!"
Fina looked at the golden bean in her palm and thought for a moment.
"When the time comes, are you just going to hire people to build you palaces to hold Titan ceremonies like this?"
"Uh..."
"If you want to finish quickly without suspicion, then you can only use this kind of thing to stimulate the mind."
"Find a village that's remote and has a lot of laborers, scatter a handful of golden beans a day, and you should be able to complete the ceremony quickly."
Fina listened carefully to his plan and slowly raised her head, "Kurokimura?"
"Besides, I heard that the lumber production in that place might plummet, and there might not be much left to go back then."
Eleazar looked at her helplessly, "That's why you were told not to set the fire."
Fina cocked her head, "That's her being deliberately angry at me, and I don't really burn much~"
"Ning, I looked through the canon and found something very strange."
"What is it?"
Fina said seriously, "Anyone who gets close to a witch will end up being very unlucky!"
"Disaster pathway?..." Eleazar looked up and thought about the message in the legacy book, and then recalled the days since she had met the witch.
"Actually, I've been vaguely aware of it, and there is indeed a wave of bad luck, but she's been making up for it in other ways, so it doesn't make me feel like I'm losing out."
Turning back to Fina and seeing her glare, he hastily added, "It's divination... Other than traveling around and poking around all day, it's going to be really hard for us to spot demons in Celine, and we've got school to go to unless we go to that druid for help..."
Fina bristled, gathered up the gold bars, kicked the box heavily into the corner, and got up to leave.
In the laboratory where only the lone figure remained, the man suddenly raised his hand and wiped his forehead.
Eleazar, who had come so close to uttering Joy and Destiny, broke into a secret cold sweat.
Luckily, she hadn't known that the witch could transfer the poison of the magic potion over, otherwise, maybe that person would have died once again today.
...
After a morning of making hundreds of silver bullets, Eleazar organized the results.
Unloaded the six bullets that would never be a problem and loaded them with new silver bullets, but after careful thought, I didn't think it was safe to load another one back in.
In case all five of the new rounds are duds, at the very least, there's one to save your life.
"Hmm... That would be foolproof."
With a very handsome turn of the handle, Eleazar put away the revolver and walked out of the lab.
Fina, who had tied on an apron, served lunch from the kitchen.
"Are you done, then let's eat."
Eleazar went to wash his hands and came to the dining table.
The witch, who didn't need to be called by anyone at all, also walked down quickly.
Fina glanced at her faintly.
"Is the unearned meal good?"
"Yummy!"
Swallowing the rice in her mouth, Evelea, who had grains of rice stuck to her face, looked up and reiterated:
"Very tasty!"
After finishing his meal and looking at the magical girl who was summoning a stream of water to wash the dishes, Eleazar said to the two who were dutifully doing their chores:
"I'd better go over to the mayor's side to see what's going on, I always felt there was something in that druid's words."
"Wait a minute!"
The witch wiped her hands and took out a coin and flipped it.
Seeing her divining, the two waited in silence for the results.
The gold and silver coin of destiny, very magically, spun in her hand for a long time, probably several minutes, and the witch's face grew more and more grave, and finally the coin slowly tilted down, revealing the silver side.
Evelea slowly raised her head.
"All of us, and we'd better call that Shadow Warrior across the street as well!"
