Chapter 5: The Melancholy of a Game Reincarnator - and the Story That Didn't Go Right from the

"The school has plenty of time for its courses. Puppet Alchemy Medicine doesn't waste time or energy, but it's easy to get credits. It's definitely worth it if you take it as an elective."

Rose explained.

"And if the puppet gets sick, the price of medicine in the shopping street is very high. If you learn puppet alchemy medicine, you can save a lot of credits in such a situation."

"So that's what's going on. I understand."

Alfred nodded in agreement, somewhat awkwardly.

He knew that once Rose got serious, nothing he said would be of any use.

The best way now is to listen to Rose obediently.

Rose spent the entire morning shopping with Alfred in the shopping district, buying a variety of items that far exceeded what a freshman would need.

?◇?◇?◇?◇?

After Brady summoned the puppets, he waited for his two childhood friends, Mark B. Rufus and Dutt V. Judson, to finish summoning their puppets.

Then, the three of them left the hall together.

When he left, he certainly looked very proud.

Although I don't quite understand what the ancient demon species mentioned by the male teacher means.

But Brady knew that the puppet he summoned possessed unparalleled talent.

Even the Valkyrie, Violet D. Christiana, who is known as the empire's top puppeteer, has the same S+ rarity as Asmodeus summoned by Brady.

However, the opponent's individual talent value is only 13, which is less than Asmodeus's 17.

This can also be understood from the side that Brady is more talented as a puppeteer than Violet, who has the title of Valkyrie.

In an empire where puppeteers are respected, Brady will surely have a smooth life and become a rising star that attracts worldwide attention.

What's more, he is the son of the hero Ulysses.

Brady firmly believed that he would become a hero of the next generation.

"Oh, oh, I heard that there are a lot of interesting places in Illya and Alia's shopping street. Anyway, we don't have anything to do next, so why don't we go shopping?"

Brady suggested, unable to hide his excitement.

Viscount Ulysses's territory was not rich, so he rarely had the opportunity to see such a busy street.

"Okay, okay! I've heard there are a lot of interesting shops there, and I've been wanting to go check them out for a long time."

Mark immediately agreed with Brady, but Dutt seemed a little hesitant.

"What's the problem, Dutt?"

Brady felt that Dutt's reaction was a bit disappointing, so he asked unhappily.

"Well, we only have 300 credits on hand right now, and we have no way to use the gold coins we brought back from home. It's already very tight just to buy the necessities for school. We probably don't have any spare money for fun, right?"

"Don't worry, credits are easy to earn. My dad said that he could easily earn 30,000 to 50,000 credits in the past week, so it won't be too late to buy those things after school starts, right?"

Brady persuaded confidently.

"That's right. Viscount Ulysses also graduated from Illya Elia, so what he said must be right. After school starts, we will be able to easily earn back those credits!"

Mark, who just wanted to go shopping, also actively agreed with Brady's opinion.

"But, but what if..."

"Hey, Duterte, you're still the same, always afraid of this and that. Forget it, if you don't have enough credits, I can always lend them to you later, right?"

Brady suggested impatiently.

"Is this really okay?"

"It's okay! If there's no problem, let's get going quickly. Our students are at the back of the queue, and we don't have much time left today."

Brady didn't wait for Dutt's response and took Mark and set off directly.

Based on his understanding of Dutt, he would definitely follow him next even though he was originally hesitant.

After arriving at the shopping street, Brady went to the store his father mentioned first.

The shop is run by a weird old man with a goatee.

The items sold in the store are also the same weird alchemical props as this old man, such as metal cards that can instantly change one's clothes, bracelets and necklaces that can make a certain part of the body bigger...

Although it's strange, it's very interesting.

Brady half-forced Dutt to put a bracelet on his ears, making them as big as elephant ears, and laughed for a long time at his funny appearance.

After browsing the store, Brady set his sights on a pair of monocles with emerald green lenses.

This monocle can measure other people's moods and display them as numerical values ​​above their heads.

It also appears to be able to tell if someone is lying.

If the person is lying, a red cross will appear above his head. If the person is not lying, a blue circle will appear above his head.

Although it's just a prank prop, Brady likes it very much.

Moreover, this prop can only be used on Mark and Dutt in the store, which makes Brady feel a little bored.

He wanted to buy it and try it on other students after school started.

"Hey old man, how much are these glasses?"

"Huh? You little brat, didn't your family teach you the most basic etiquette?"

The old shop owner glanced at Brady unhappily and asked back.

"Stop talking nonsense. Are you going to sell this thing or not?"

"Tsk, what an annoying brat. I see you are a new student. There are always arrogant brats like you every year."

"I am indeed a freshman, but don't look down on me! I summoned an S+ grade puppet for the first time."

Brady showed off proudly, not taking the shop owner's ridicule seriously at all.

"Hmph, you have the capital to be arrogant. But after accepting the baptism of freshmen every year, you should have tasted the bitterness. That pair of glasses costs 450 credits. I don't think you have so much money, so you'd better put your things down and get out of here."

Although Brady had heard of it, his father seemed to have mentioned something about baptism in the past.

But his attention was all focused on the price of the glasses.

"Hey, Mark, Duterte, can you each lend me 75 credits?"

Brady looked at his two childhood friends and asked for their help.

This time Dutt took out his student ID very neatly, but Mark looked embarrassed.

"What's the problem, Mark?"

"It's not that I don't want to lend it to you, Brady. But my nanny taught me since I was a child that I should not lend money to friends casually."

Mark stammered in his explanation.
