Magical Tool Master Dahlia Never Compromises ~ Starting Today: Life as a Freelancer ~

Guid immediately looked up and looked at Wolff.

The two nodded bitterly, each filled with confusion, surprise and understanding.

"...I don't know how to stop having nightmares."

"Wolfred, getting married is a good idea. I still have nightmares, but they're not as frequent."

“It’s hard to do, but I’ll remember it.”

Wolfe gave a wry smile, and Good smiled back.

"I've never done anything for you that a brother should do. If you're willing, I want to make it up to you. Whether it's about the Chamber of Commerce or the Royal City, just tell me if you have anything to say."

"Thank you. I know nothing about business, so I'll consult you when I have something to ask... By the way, if it's not too much trouble, I'd like to ask you to help me find some material for a magic tool."

"Of course, no problem. I'll do my best to find it. What material is it?"

"Fairy Crystal."

"'Fairy Crystal'... This material is very rare. I understand. I'll send it to you once I find it."

"thank you."

Wolf, emboldened by his brother's kindness, asked for help. Dahlia said that fairy crystals were difficult to obtain. Perhaps through the Scafalot family's connections, they could be found quickly.

"Would you like to talk to your father later?"

"If there's a chance..."

My father also avoided meeting me today. I wonder if my brother noticed this or if he wanted to act as a bridge between them. Seeing Wolff's hesitation, Guid continued:

"I'm sorry, I only visit Mrs. Vanessa's grave a few times a year, but as far as I know, my father goes there every month."

"yes……"

It was enough for him to know that his father seemed to love his mother more than he thought.

Even if his father's love didn't include him, it didn't matter. He was already an adult.

"Wolfred, I hope you won't dream about that day again."

At the moment of parting, my brother smiled after saying this.

Wolf watched him go, then remembered that he hadn't had that nightmare recently.

He searched his memory, trying to figure out when it all started, and suddenly laughed.

He hadn't had a nightmare since the day he met Dalia.

Volume 2 ◆ Sirius Bracelet

Yesterday evening, Wolfe sent a messenger to deliver a letter to Dahlia.

He politely and lengthily apologized to her for the conversation he had had with Ivano at the guild. On the second piece of paper he wrote, "If it doesn't cause you any discomfort, I'd like to come see you tomorrow after noon."

The messenger demanded an answer, so she asked him to convey her consent.

Today, Wolfe will be here soon, and Dahlia is thinking seriously about whether she should meet him and how to explain it if she does.

She walked nervously to the mirror.

There is a red abrasion from the right cheek to the side of the eye, and there is a swelling on the right back of the head, which is a little painful to touch.

My neck and shoulders hurt in the morning, and if I take off my clothes, I may see a bruise on my right shoulder.

Fortunately, she was wearing a unicorn pendant, so the pain was less severe.

The injury was not serious enough to require a recovery potion, so she decided to apply ice with a wet towel first.

Before going to bed last night, she found the Sirius Fang in her room.

She tested whether the small fragment could still be used and injected with magic power, but the magic power was not bounced off.

She decided to take this opportunity to use it as material to imbue the bracelet with magic, and sat on the bed to prevent herself from fainting during the imbuing.

Just in case, a bucket for vomiting was also prepared.

This time she once again realized how amazing the Sirius Fang's ability to absorb magic power was.

Through personal experience, he gained a deep understanding of the shocking consequences of using it to bestow magic.

When I first used the Sirius Fang to empower the bracelet, magic power flowed in normally.

Just as she felt things were going smoothly, the feeling of her magic being sucked away reappeared. Although she had prepared herself mentally, she still felt uncomfortable.

After that, she kept feeling the rush of her guts as she went down a roller coaster. But she still had time to think, "It's a good thing I didn't have dinner."

The Sirius Fang finally shattered and disappeared, creating a bracelet with a "wind magic effect." Delighted at her success, she put it on and admired its beautiful silvery-white glow.

However, she was too careless.

Before measuring her magic power and confirming the operation method, she accidentally let a small amount of magic power flow into the bracelet, causing her to be thrown into the air and hit the wall.

Dalia lost consciousness from the impact and woke up around noon the next day.

She rushed to the bathroom to wash up, but cried out in pain when she touched the hot water. She looked at herself in the mirror and was stunned by the scars all over her face.

There was a tapestry with a red flower pattern on the stone wall beside her bed. Fortunately, she bumped into the tapestry, so she only got a scratch; if she had hit the stone wall, she would have been hurt worse.

The bracelet made of wolf fangs has the most powerful "wind magic effect" of any magical tool she has ever made.

The table in the workshop was covered with a cloth endowed with magic silver, and the bracelet lay on the cloth, emitting a silver-white glow.

This is a male accessory she made using the most durable and hardest material she could find.

The enchantment was successful, and the magic power was plentiful. However, if even a small amount of magic power flowed in, the owner would be flung away. Who would actually want to use a bracelet like this? And what could it possibly be used for?

"I can only put it in the magic box and seal it away..."

Just as she was feeling depressed, the doorbell rang.

Wolff was a very anxious person. Rather than hiding it from him, it would be better to tell him the truth when we met.

She made up her mind and went to answer the door.

"I'm sorry that my words offended you the other day."

"No, I don't mind."

Wolfe's apology immediately stunned Dalia. She had already forgotten the topic of "breasts or waists."

"I brought my mother's textbook and notes with me and wanted to show them to you."

"Well, come in first."

She wanted to wait until Wolff came inside to explain, so she invited him into the Green Tower.

"Dalia, is your foot injured? Why are you dragging your right foot?"

"Eh, feet?"

Wolf asked as they were about to climb the stairs. Dahlia hadn't noticed before.

Her right knee did feel a little heavy, but it wasn't serious. She was about to say this when she turned around and saw him frowning deeply.

"Who hit you in the face?"

The deep and hoarse voice was completely different from the young man's usual voice.

Wolfe dropped his black leather bag on the spot and approached Dalia.

The golden eyes didn't even blink, and Dalia was instantly frightened by the intimidating aura.

"No, it was my own carelessness..."

"Let me see your injuries."

Dahlia let her hair down, trying to hide the scrape. Wolfe gently brushed her hair aside with his fingertips, examining the wound. Then he touched the back of her head, and she whimpered in pain.

"Um, um! This is a self-inflicted injury, it's not serious."

"Self-inflicted? But this doesn't look like a fall. You're injured here, your head hit, and your shoulder and foot are injured. Tell me the truth, Dahlia. Who did this?"

The Wolff before her was terrifying. He feigned composure, but he was clearly angry. Dalia was terrified.

"This really has nothing to do with anyone else! I was the one who was being ejected when I was using the Heavenly Wolf Fang to bestow it!"

"……I see."

The black pupil in the center of the golden eye suddenly enlarged.

"...I was ejected when I gave it to you. What happened? Please explain."

Wolff smiled a handsome smile, but it was definitely not genuine. He became even more terrifying.

"Uh... I used the wolf's fang to imbue the bracelet..."

Dahlia confessed everything.

When she explained the situation on the second floor, Wolff did not get angry, but just listened to her carefully and occasionally asked some questions.

When she finished, he sighed deeply.

"Dalia, you have two choices now. One is to drink the healing potion, and the other is to come with me to the temple immediately."

Dahlia really wanted to ask him, "Is this really a choice?", but when she saw his serious look, she gave up.

"I'm not hurt that badly."

"Oh? Then can you go out with me now?"

"It's better not to go out..."

The scratches on her face were a little noticeable.

It would be bad if people misunderstood that Wolfe beat her up, so she absolutely could not go out.

"...Okay, I'll drink it."

If she had known, she would have drunk it before Wolfe came. She regretted it and drank the recovery potion.

The potion had a subtle sweetness and a hint of mint, tasting a lot like a flat soda pop. A grassy taste rose up her throat as she swallowed it, and she quickly drank some water.

She knew she shouldn't criticize the taste of the recovery potion, but it really wasn't very tasty.

“…When I think about how many bottles of wine I could buy with that money, it seems like such a waste.”

A bottle of recovery potion costs five large silver coins, which is nearly 50,000 yen in Dahlia's eyes.

If she had used this money to buy the wine she usually drinks, she could have bought dozens of bottles. She didn't expect to spend so much money without realizing it.

"I understand. I'll bring you some healing potion next time."

"Come on, this was purely my mistake."

Wolfe's attitude was still somewhat unhappy, so Dalia bowed her head and apologized honestly.

"Wolf, um, I'm sorry for worrying you."

"No, I was just too worried. I'm sorry for touching you without your consent..."

"No, I know you care about me..."

The two looked away and apologized to each other, and the atmosphere was quite awkward.

She wanted to change the subject, so she pointed to the bracelet she had just made.

"That's the Sirius Fang bracelet I made."

"What a beautiful color."

"Yes, but if you let the magic power flow in, you'll be thrown back..."

"Can I touch it? My magic power can only be used to strengthen my body and won't leak out, so it should be fine."

"Then don't wear it yet, try touching it with your finger."

"Okay... Yeah, everything is fine after all."

Wolfe picked up the bracelet easily after touching it with his finger.

"Even if I wanted to, I couldn't. My magic power can't flow out of my body anyway."

"So, if you want to use magic tools that require mana, you have to set the blood level first, right?"

"Yes, but that way I'll be the only one using the magic tool, which is a bit inconvenient."

In this world, there are still some people whose magic power cannot be output outside the body, or whose magic power is relatively small.
