Chapter 50: Red magic stone
"That’s a fancy name." Coco hummed out, the excited smile seemingly permanent on her face.
"Ohoho, I’m honored." Mrs. Tani raised a hand and covered her mouth, laughing quietly as she spoke, "The people of Yogusho Village think otherwise. They believe that this shop wouldn’t last if I wish to build a branch in the main city."
"Well, Magia Pierre is a very fancy name." Coco stated, crossing her arms and nodding her head as if she was convincing herself more than the shop owner herself, "I didn’t see the sign when I walked in because I was excited to buy magic stones, but I can assure you that much."
Mrs. Tani only flashed her a business smile before nodding her head, "I see.. Back on the topic at hand, what kind of magic stone are you looking for?"
Being asked about the magic stone, the previous excitement brewed over and made Coco bounce on her two feet, "Right! I don’t know anything about magic stones because you know? I was busy drowning myself in those damned drinks?"
Coco can’t say that she doesn’t know a single about magic stones because she wasn’t born or grew in this world so instead, she used Coco Hughes’s wrongdoings and reputation as an excuse to make Mrs. Tani explains the uses of magic stones.
The stones have different colors, shapes, and energy— not that she’s an expert about it, but she can tell that much— so having someone who sells and seems to know a lot about magic stones tell her its uses will save her a lot of trouble.
Better late than nothing, right?
"Oh." Mrs. Tani blinked, a look of contemplation crossed her features for a brief moment before she nodded her head, "I understand. Do you at least know the fundamental functions of the magic stones?"
