Chapter 22: Illusions Breaker Ring
From the old man's words, it should be something related to curses. Therefore, Yasu bought two cure curse potions for them to fix the dizziness.
His balance dropped to 26,450 after purchasing them.
"How can you create stuff like that?" Keitomi asked.
He had never seen anything like this before. Even his fiance's family and his couldn't do that. Yet, his Nee-san easily kept making things out of thin air.
Seeing this, he felt that his decision to follow his Big bro was the correct one.
In Keitomi's mind, only the Celestials Spirit Emperor were the strongest. So when he saw Yasu, he was intrigued by him. A dragon that had the potential to exceed SSR!
"Just consider it as my unique magic." Yasu did not want to explain about the system as it was his greatest secret. Maybe in the future, but not now.
Keitomi and Erza obviously noticed that he avoided talking about it. They made a mental note to not broach the topic again. Even if they were dying to know...
Changing the subject, Keitomi asked, "Do you have any idea of what is the cause of the problem?"
"I have no idea, but I am sure we will get more clues if we ask the villagers. They should at least know how it all started," Erza said. Since she had done many missions in the past, she was a lot more experienced than them and knew exactly what to do.
Later, they left the inn after finishing their morning routine. Erza and Keitomi were in a great mood as Yasu bought breakfast for everyone.
Walking on the street, Erza declared, "Since you told me that you will do your best to become a better person, I want you to stop behaving coldly towards strangers. You will be the one inquiring the villagers about the curse."
As he didn't expect her to say this, Yasu flinched slightly after her words. He didn't want to talk to others. But since he had promised Erza, he would do it. Besides, he could use this opportunity to learn how to talk to other people.
"Alright"
Approaching a skinny middle-aged woman with an unnatural smile, Yasu politely asked, "Good morning. We have recently arrived at this place, so we don't have any knowledge about the curse. May you tell us more about its history?"
Keitomi looked at his brother while holding his laughter. The sight of Yasu smiling awkwardly and talking politely was just too much for him!
Right after, he immediately stopped when he felt Erza glaring at him from the side.
She believed that people who are doing their best should not be laughed at. Instead, they should encourage him to continue.
As the woman turned her attention to him, she immediately blushed. At first, she was disturbed by his smile, but his handsome face greatly compensated for it.
Yasu didn't mind her gaze, instead, he found that it was a natural reaction. As everyone in the town was sick, their pale face didn't look attractive. Moreover, Yasu was already more beautiful than others in the first place.
However, she didn't dare to try anything due to the glaring woman beside him.
"S-Sure, I don't mind telling you," She said before taking a deep breath and continued in a solemn voice, "It all started five years ago when a mysterious object fell from the sky. It created a loud boom once it had hit the ground. But strangely, the unidentified thing wasn't there when people went to inspect the impact crater. From that day, everyone kept getting sick all the time, and due to this, we always felt gloomy. Some people have tried to search for that thing, but it was nowhere to be found..."
"I see, thank you. It was helpful," Yasu bowed slightly to express his gratitude.
From what she said, that mysterious object should be the cause of their current situation. So, their objective would be to find that thing...
After they had walked away, Erza said, "You did great but next time, you should relax more. There is no need to be overly polite."
Yasu simply nodded his head. In the future, he would do better than this.
Afterward, they had asked several more people to get extra information, but the villagers all explained the same thing.
He still had some inhibitions, but with Erza and Keitomi's help, Yasu became slightly better at talking to people. Although he still preferred to stay away from others, it wasn't uncomfortable anymore.
Long after, they started looking for the object. They searched everywhere, be it the town, the forest, the lake, etc...
However, it seemed that the villagers were right as it was nowhere to be found.
While brainstorming, Yasu had an idea of why other people hadn't seen it until now. Maybe he had read too many Wuxia Novels, but it might actually be hidden by an illusion array or something!
Therefore, he bought an Illusions Breaker Ring from the Shop for 10,000. He still had a lot of points left, so It was worth it.
26,450 —> 16,450
Furthermore, even if the Ring didn't help him find the object, it would still be of use against Illusion Magic in the future.
As the Ring appeared, Keitomi and Erza curiously looked at it. However, they didn't say anything as they had made a mental note to avoid broaching his strange Magic topic.
Seeing their act, Yasu appreciated their intention. Nonetheless, even if he couldn't talk about the Shop, he could still explain his newly acquired Ring's ability. "This relic can help the wearer to break Illusion. Anything under rank A would be broken by this artifact."
Hearing his words, Erza and Keitomi looked at the Magic equipment with envy in their eyes. Anyone else would do the same as them, so it wasn't unexpected.
Until now, they had never heard of something like that before. Even if it only worked for some Illusions, the price for something like this would be exorbitant on the market!
"Let's see if we can find anything this time," Yasu said. Seeing these two staring at his hand was kind of uncomfortable, so he attempted to divert their attention from the ring.
