After confirming the number of points he had, El quickly scrolled through the list of auctioned items, in search of a suitable gift for Kirai, his contract wife.
Soon, his eyes fell on something that caught his eye, the perfect gift for Kirai. In fact, El had also found another item that was very interesting and useful for his mission.
Immediately, El set a high price, in order to obtain these items. 'It's a good thing I have so many points,' El muttered in thought.

El managed to win the Immortality Pill for 15,000 points and the Star Crystal for 10,000 points, bringing his total expenditure to 25,000 points. Now his total points are 395,000.
"Since I already have a lot of Points, why not just get a new skill?" El muttered while operating the holographic panel in front of him.
El opened the list of Special Skills and started browsing through the available options. "Hmm... It turns out that Gate of Babylon and Mystic Eye of Death Perception are also sold here? Even Shadow Extraction? But the price is over 500,000 Points," he said, surprised at such a high price.
In addition, El found various other special abilities such as the Rinnegan eye, Byakugan, and Sharingan. However, El did not feel interested in having any of these special abilities.
Continuing to scroll through the list on the holographic panel, his gaze suddenly fell on a Special Skill that immediately caught his attention.
With great interest, El opened the description of the skill, wanting to make sure his guess was right.

"From the description, this ability is similar to Tanjiro's," El said with a faint smile. "And the price starts at 100,000 Points? No problem, I have plenty of Points." El immediately set the price, to obtain Tanjiro's olfactory ability.
While in constant conflict with the other Beyonders who kept increasing the price, El was curious about Tanjiro's condition. "I wonder how that kid is doing? It should be fine, because I have prevented the destruction of the Demon Slayer Cops
Soon after, El won the skill struggle with a price value of 140,000 Points. Now his total Points were 225,000 Points.
After winning the Star Crystal, Immortality Pill and Enhanced Smell, El immediately left the auction house and headed to his house to pick up special Items and Skills, then immediately left for his Home World.
On his way to the house, El suddenly stopped his steps when he saw Misaka tidying up her merchandise that had just finished arranging.
Thinking to say hello, El approached his, maybe there was an item that caught his attention at the stall.
Misaka Sister saw El approaching and greeted him, "Ah! Beyonder 120,000, long time no see, Misaka said welcoming the arrival of customers."
"Yes, the previous mission was very difficult and long," El replied casually while observing the items sold by Misaka Sister. His gaze fell on a tool with an unusual shape. "Hmm? You sell communication devices?" he asked after reading the description of the item.
Not only that, his gaze then shifted to another item that caught his attention. "Costume? What's this for?" El murmured curiously, reading the information on the costume displayed there.

Misaka Sister nodded slowly. "The Crystal Device is an important item for the Beyonder, you're new, that's why you don't know, Misaka said in a neutral tone."
Then Misaka Sister pointed towards a crystal bracelet-shaped item. "Last time this was out of stock because the creator of the item was away in another world."
"Interesting." El observed the item with interest. "And this... Costume? But, what use is it to a Beyonder?"
"This costume is not a battle accessory," Misaka Sister replied in a calm tone. "It's just entertainment because it's cute, Misaka explained. Most female Beyonders are interested in items like this."
El smiled slightly. "Alright, I'll take two Crystal Devices and one Costume Fake Gumiho."
"Your request is accepted, it was a pleasure doing business with you, Misaka said," Misaka Sister replied while packing the items with her trademark efficiency, without any exaggerated expression.
As El prepared to leave after purchasing some items from Misaka Sister, her steps were suddenly halted by Misaka Sister's soft yet hesitant voice. "Ano... said Misaka with a little nervousness, "May I know your real name?"
El stared at him for a moment, surprised by the unexpected request. He blinked a few times before smiling warmly, a smile he rarely showed.
Gently, El extended his right hand. "My name is El Ira Adrian," he said briefly. "And your name is?"
Misaka Sister seemed momentarily speechless, surprised and slightly blushing at El's warm smile. Her face flushed, feeling that such a smile was very rare on El's face, which more often looked serious and cold.
In fact, before becoming a Beyonder, El was often misunderstood to have many boyfriends, even though she was actually single and had never been in a relationship.
A little nervously, Misaka Sister finally reached out to shake El's hand. "Call Misaka Sister Ichigo, Misaka said in a shy manner," she replied quietly, still feeling the residual warmth of El's smile which seemed to be very rare.
{N/A: Misaka Sister Ichigo is a clone of Sister serial number 100,000, the first Sister to be killed by the Accelerator. A miracle happened, Sister Ichigo became a Beyonder}
After getting to know each other, El and Sister Ichigo also scanned their Crystal Devices, so that they could communicate with each other at any time.
Crystal Devices are bracelets like transparent glass bracelets. To scan another Crystal Device owner, they need to bring the bracelets closer to each other, allowing for easy exchange of information and connection between the two devices.
Ding!
[Serial number 199,800 has been registered in friendship. Please feel free to communicate with each other anytime and anywhere]
Having finished exchanging contacts, El said goodbye, explaining that he had to leave as there were other matters that needed to be resolved, though he would have liked to chat a little longer with Sister Ichigo.
