Chapitre 11: Chapter 11: Stay!

The best way for someone to get mana with a dream catcher, as one might figure out from the name, is if people sleep near the dream catcher.

The villagers were fed and watered. But most of them were beginning to gather up their stuff.

I needed something to make them stay! The dream catcher did not have enough mana in it! I had to pay the gnomes!

"Ladies and gentlemen!" I began, standing up. This was a weird thing to do with people whom you barely knew, but I still had hope. "How would you like to participate in the Forest of Forget-Me-Nots Lottery?"

There was no such thing.

 Also, I had no money. Heck, I did not even have a machine to spill out random numbers for the villagers to hold their breath for.

But I had a single gem I have been keeping around as a souvenir. Something I did not need, for it was just one sapphire. Nothing magical.

I took it out of my pocket, letting the light reflect off it.
