Tensei Shite Inaka de Slowlife wo Okuritai - Chapter 555

Magic Stone Lamp

　However, when I see such an attractive product, I start wanting something too.

"Maybe I should buy something too..."

　I'd love to fall asleep in my room gazing at a lamp emitting a fantastic light.

If you want to give a gift to a friend, this is the product for you.

　If you are wondering about this, Oken will immediately show you the way.

　As I moved further, I saw a row of smaller lamps than the ones I had seen before.

　This lamp is slightly smaller and less vibrant in color than the previous one, but it is still reasonably priced.

　The price also settled at between a few and a few dozen gold coins――wait, maybe my sense of money is messed up if I think the price settled at a few dozen gold coins.

　As I looked at the products with a wry smile in my mind, a pair of S-shaped lamps caught my eye.

　The shade part is small, but it makes good use of the curve of the base to create a well-balanced finish.

　The soft green and cool blue glow is just like Mother Elna and Father Nord.

　I feel like it suits those two somehow.

"Are you interested in this lamp?"

"Yes, I thought our parents would get along well."

"Indeed! It matches the all-embracing atmosphere of Elna-sama and the calming atmosphere of Nord-sama perfectly!"

　It's unclear whether Kaasan Elna has the tolerance to do so, but if Loretta, a woman, nods in agreement, then there can be no mistake.

"I'd like this S-shaped lamp, please."

"thank you"

　The price for both is 30 gold coins. It's a little expensive for a souvenir, but if you count it as a gift for your family, it won't hurt.

"Maybe I should also buy souvenirs for Eleonora and Silvio."

　I know they'll be asking for souvenirs from the royal capital anyway, so I'll buy them all here.

　Silvio, a lamp. He often reads books in his room, so I want to buy him a lamp so he can read in peace.

"This would suit Al's brother!"

　As I was looking around at the lamps, Ra-chan came running up to me.

　In her little arms she holds a book.

"...a book?"

"Open it!"

　I took the book from Ra-chan and opened it, and as the pages slid open, a warm light emanated from it.

"Whoa, what's this? A book-shaped lamp?"

"Apparently so! Interesting, right?"

"Yeah, that's interesting. I'll buy this as a souvenir for my brother Silvio. Thank you."

"Ehehe."

　When I thanked her for finding it, Ra-chan smiled happily.

　According to Oken, it is a light with a book motif. When you take it out and open it, the light turns on, and when you close it, the light goes out. How interesting.

　This is the only souvenir I can buy for my brother Silvio. I can't think of anything else.

"Well, the only one left is Eleonora..."

　After Elna-kaasan, she is the most difficult person in the family to give a souvenir to.

"Al's sister?"

"Yeah. Do you have anything that looks good?"

"Hmm, I don't know."

　I asked, hoping to catch the attention of Ra-chan after her earlier performance, but it seemed like nothing stood out to her.

　When she came to the mansion, she was with me and Eric, and I didn't have much contact with Eleonora-nee-san. I guess she couldn't think of anything to imagine.

　It's a shame because if Ra-chan had chosen it, I would have had an excuse when I gave it to Eleonora-neesan.

　If I can't ask for Ra-chan's help, then I have no choice but to choose and decide for myself.

　It's obvious that Eleonora isn't the kind of sister to put a lamp in her room and admire the light...

　Even if I bought it for him, I could easily imagine him carelessly leaving it on the floor and stepping on it and breaking it, or swinging it around indoors and breaking it.

"I'd like to buy a gift for my sister. Is there anything you'd recommend other than a lamp?"

"How about these ornaments?"

　The place Oken led me to was mainly filled with accessories such as bracelets, rings, necklaces, and earrings made from processed magic stones.

　Come to think of it, Eleonora was wearing earrings.

　Last time I gave them hair ties and scrunchies as gifts and they were quite happy with them.

　I don't think it's a bad idea to choose decorations.

　Looking closely at the earrings, he noticed that they were modeled after butterfly wings.

　It has a striking black and jade color scheme, and even the fine fibers and scales of its feathers are visible.

"Those are called butterfly earrings and are made from real butterfly wings."

"So you're using real feathers after all."

"Yes. Not only can you enjoy the different expressions on the front and back, but if you infuse it with magic it can also become a light."

"Ah, it glowed."

　When I channeled magical power into it, the butterfly's wings lit up faintly.

　Not only is it a beautiful piece to hold your ears, but it can also be used as a light source.

　Eleonora-san is already used to wearing earrings, and knowing that they have a practical function won't make her feel bad.

"Then I'd like this too."

"thank you"

　When I expressed my intention to purchase it, Oken carefully took it to the register.

"Now that I've decided on souvenirs for my family, I think I'll pay the bill."

"Aren't you going to buy one for Al?"

"Oh, I forgot."

　I was so engrossed in buying souvenirs for my family that I completely forgot about my own. I also wanted a lamp.

"What kind of lamp do you want, Al?"

"I want a lamp that I can put in my bedroom. Something that I can look at the pretty light in before going to sleep and relax while reading a book."

"Let's search together!"

"I'll help you."

"Yes, please."

　When I mentioned the lamp of hope, Ra-chan and Loretta replied enthusiastically.

　Each of us sets out to find a lamp for me.

　Perhaps because Oken knows that I am enjoying the process of finding something I like, he watches over me warmly without interfering. I appreciate his consideration.

"Alfleet, this lamp is so beautiful."

　Saying this, Loretta brought out a hexagonal lamp with a red and black motif.

　Each side is dotted with warm colors such as red, orange, and pink.

"It's certainly beautiful, but the colors are a bit strong."

　Since you will be looking at it before going to sleep, you want to avoid bright colors. Rather, a soft light is best.

"I see"

　After I give her the details of what I want, Loretta puts the lamp back in its place and begins searching again.

"Al, what's this?"

　When I approached where Ra-chan was, I saw a large seashell-shaped lamp there.

　The shells are carefully separated and come in pale, cool colors that mimic the ocean.

"Hmm, it's refreshing and pretty, but maybe a little big."

"I see."

　The colors were calm and beautiful, but the lamps were quite large.

　I can't place it next to the bed in the mansion, and if I put it in the corner of the room it would feel cramped.

　Maybe something a little more compact would be better.

　With that in mind, I moved over to where the compact lamp was.

　This one is very compact. It's small enough to fit on a small table or even in the palm of your hand. It looks like it would be easy to use in my room.

　All you have to do is choose one with a design and light color you like.

"Hmm? What's this?"

　While I was looking for a small lamp, a spherical lamp caught my eye.

　It has a smooth, pure white surface.

　While the other lamps have very sophisticated designs, this one has a rather understated feel to it.

"The lid kind of opened."

　When I picked it up, the top part of the sphere came off.

　Looking closely, there is a depression in the center and some unevenness that looks like something is to be placed on it.

"Maybe they'll embed the magic attribute stones we have here?"

"I see!"

　I picked up the water magic stone nearby and tried to fit it into the sphere.

　When he channeled magical power and pressed the switch on the back, light was emitted from the top of the sphere, illuminating the ceiling in a pale blue light.

"Oh, it's beautiful."

　After observing for a while, I then place the Fuuma Stone and press the switch.

　Then, a green light was emitted from the ceiling.

"You can see all kinds of lights!"

"That's wonderful!"

　You can change the magic stone and watch the light change to suit your mood that day.

　That's great.

　After trying out all the attributes of the Fire Magic Stone, Earth Magic Stone, and Light Magic Stone, Oken, who had been holding back this whole time, stepped forward.

"Normally magic stones emit a single color of light, but if you use a high-quality magic stone, you can express a more delicate light."

　Saying that, Oken handed me a transparent magic stone that was a mixture of blue and light blue.

　It is imbued with strong magical power and can be seen at a glance to be of high quality.

　I'm afraid to ask what kind of magic stone it is, so I put it into the lamp without asking anything.

　Then, the sea spread across the ceiling.

　The blue light emitted is so vivid that it gives the illusion of being blue.

　All three of them let out exclamations of admiration.

"It is also possible to change the color by adjusting the magical power."

　When Oaken touched the lamp and strengthened its magic, the color changed to a dark ocean color like the deep sea or a mixture of strong colors like the aurora. Conversely, when he weakened the magic, the color changed to a pale ocean color like shallow water.

It may also be a good match.

　The colors are truly complex. They can only be created using high-quality magic stones.

　Lie on your back in bed and enjoy the different lights.

"I'll take this one."

　Although the direction has changed from my original plan, I think I've managed to buy the perfect lamp for my bedroom.
