----------------------------------------------------------

This time, Emiya's party received a reward exceeding fifty million Eris.

Even after splitting it, each person would still receive over ten million.

It was an absurd amount of money.

So Aqua immediately stopped talking about taking down a Demon King Army executive.

Instead, she sat in the Guild bar, enthusiastically planning how to spend her share.

Darkness, on the other hand, looked a little uncomfortable.

"Is it really okay to divide it like this?"

Truthfully, her personal gains from the cabbage hunt were only worth a few hundred thousand Eris.

Now she was suddenly receiving millions.

She was clearly benefiting the most.

"It's fine," Emiya said calmly. "Aren't we a party?"

"Hahaha. I see."

A voice suddenly cut in.

"So you're Darkness's leader?"

"It looks like she's found some really good companions."

Emiya turned his head.

A girl was sitting at the neighboring table.

She wore a leather vest and light gear, clearly dressed for mobility.

A small scar ran across her cheek, giving her a slightly rough edge, but her overall presence was cheerful and relaxed.

She was a beautiful silver-haired girl.

When Darkness saw her, her eyes lit up.

"Let me introduce her," Darkness said excitedly.

"This is my friend, Chris. She's also an adventurer registered with the Guild. Her class is Thief."

Emiya nodded.

Of course he knew who she was.

Or rather, who she really was.

Chris was the goddess Eris.

Darkness's family had always been devout believers of the Eris faith.

She had once prayed every day for a friend.

Eris heard those prayers and descended in the form of the thief Chris to befriend her.

Emiya held a fair amount of respect for Eris.

Unlike Aqua, Eris possessed a normal level of intelligence.

She could very easily see through his identity.

That was why Emiya had always avoided meeting her.

He hadn't expected her to appear in front of him like this.

And in the form of Chris, no less.

"Hello. I'm Emiya."

Since they had already met, brushing her off would only raise suspicion.

Fortunately, Chris didn't look at him meaningfully.

She simply smiled and nodded.

"I'm Darkness's good friend, the thief Chris. It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Emiya."

"The pleasure is mine," Emiya replied.

He then introduced the rest of the party to her one by one.

Chris didn't put on any airs.

After all, she was playing the role of a thief.

Even when she saw Aqua, she acted like they were strangers and greeted her politely.

Aqua didn't notice anything unusual either, treating her like any other adventurer.

Emiya clicked his tongue internally.

You can't even recognize your own junior.

How useless can you be?

After the introductions, Emiya spoke.

"Miss Chris, are you here to see Darkness?"

"Because of the Demon King Army executive, we don't have anything urgent to do."

"Darkness, you can spend some time with her."

"Really?" Darkness asked, clearly delighted.

"Of course." Emiya nodded.

Truthfully, he was a little grateful for the appearance of the headless knight.

If not for that incident, it might not have been so easy to send Chris away.

Chris didn't refuse either.

After saying goodbye to the others, Darkness left the Guild with her, seemingly heading out to shop.

Emiya then turned to the remaining members.

"What about you?"

"What are your plans?"

Megumin spoke first.

"I've had my eye on a very nice staff. Now that I have money, I'm going to buy it."

Kazuma thought for a moment.

"I'll upgrade my gear too. I'll go to the weapon shop with Megumin."

In the end, Aqua decided to go with them.

She turned to Emiya last.

"What about you? Want to come?"

Emiya shook his head.

"No. I'm heading somewhere else."

The place he was going was Wiz's shop.

After separating at the entrance of the Adventurers' Guild, Emiya followed the address on the business card.

It was a small store specializing in magical items.

He pushed the door open.

The bell hanging above it rang brightly.

"Welcome-oh, it's you, Emiya."

"Hey, Wiz. As promised, I'm here."

Emiya raised a hand.

Wiz immediately looked behind him.

Only after confirming that the terrifying Great Priest wasn't there did she relax.

"Welcome, Emiya."

Emiya smiled.

"You really are afraid of Aqua, huh?"

Wiz smiled bitterly.

"I just feel like she's a natural enemy of undead monsters."

Emiya agreed.

Useless or not, Aqua was still a genuine goddess.

"How's business lately?" Emiya asked.

"Same as usual," Wiz replied.

"But those things you called lighters are extremely popular."

"I sold out on the third day."

"So now you believe I wasn't lying?"

"Please don't tease me anymore."

Wiz truly hadn't expected them to sell that well.

Thanks to them, she'd made a small profit.

"Do you want to restock?" Emiya asked.

"Of course!"

Wiz nodded quickly.

If not for her fear of the Great Priest following Emiya, she would've come to him much earlier.

"How many this time?" Emiya asked.

"Ten thousand enough?"

Wiz shook her head immediately.

"That's too many. Axel is just a beginner town."

"Three thousand should be enough."

"Alright."

Emiya didn't argue.

He created three thousand lighters and handed them over.

At the same time, a portion of his spiritual energy was consumed.

But since they were simple items, it was less than one-tenth of his reserves.

"Thank you."

Wiz accepted them gratefully.

Each lighter sold for three hundred Eris.

Selling all three thousand would earn her nearly a million.

For someone perpetually poor like her, that was a massive sum.

"By the way, Wiz," Emiya said.

"I have other goods as well. Interested?"

"What kind?"

"Panacea."

In mythology, Panacea was a medicine that cured all diseases.

But this Panacea wasn't mythical.

It came from the DanMachi world.

It could heal most internal and external injuries.

An essential survival item for adventurers.

Many would buy some before entering the dungeon.

"Panacea?" Wiz asked curiously.

"There's nothing like that here."

Emiya nodded and explained its effects.

Before becoming a lich, Wiz had been a hot-blooded adventurer.

She might like strange items, but she understood value very well.

She agreed without hesitation.

"I'll start with a hundred bottles," Emiya said.

"One hundred thousand Eris per bottle."

"You can sell them for three hundred thousand or five hundred thousand. Your choice."

"Same as before. Pay me after you sell them."

Wiz agreed immediately.

Emiya created one hundred bottles of Panacea and handed them over.

He had used Panacea before in the DanMachi world.

Thanks to Fantasy Creation, reproducing it was no issue.

But unlike lighters, Panacea consumed a huge amount of spiritual energy.

Three thousand lighters had cost less than a tenth.

One hundred bottles of Panacea consumed nearly three-quarters.

The moment he finished, Emiya felt exhausted.

He wanted to lie down and sleep.

Then his Flame God's Ring activated.

A cool sensation spread through his mind.

His depleted spiritual energy rapidly recovered.

Before long, the fatigue was gone.

Half an hour later, Emiya felt completely refreshed.

At that point, Wiz handed over the money she'd earned from the lighter sales.

Emiya accepted it without hesitation.

If he refused, future business would only become awkward.

"By the way, Wiz," Emiya said.

"I've accumulated some skill points recently."

"I'd like to learn a few skills from you. Is that alright?"

"Of course," Wiz replied immediately.

"I'll demonstrate my skills. Choose whichever you want."

Most of her skills required a target.

Since no one else was present, she could only use herself.

In the end, Emiya chose Wiz's signature lich skill.

Drain Touch.

A skill that absorbed a target's life force and magic.

It could also transfer his own stamina and magic to others.

Extremely practical.

A lifesaving ability when used correctly.

Kazuma had learned this skill in the original story and made great use of it.

After some consideration, Emiya chose it.

Once the skill transfer was complete, Emiya treated Wiz to a large meal as thanks.

Wiz happily accepted.
