The Devil Who Grants Wishes

“Huh…”

I’m bored. really boring

In the past, there were a lot of people selling stolen goods that they picked up or inherited, but these days there are none. Ew, cowards.

‘No ambition, no ambition.’

Of course, it is understandable to a certain extent that if you sell stolen property in a hurry, you will be scared as much as you are going straight to prison.

Aren’t the stores that also accept customers’ purchases like me attracting the attention of security officers and security guards?

When a report related to stolen property comes in, they go into the store recklessly and search all kinds of places with a guide to report if such or such an item has come in. Of course, those who acquire stolen property will not want to sell it in haste.

Of course, I can avoid all such dangers and deal with stolen goods… The problem is that if I openly promote such things, I have to close my business and leave the country, so I have no choice but to keep my mouth shut.

Even the few people who sell stolen goods to me don’t spread it around, so people don’t even know that I am dealing with stolen goods.

…Eheh, humans too.

Why is it that as time goes by, only cowards remain?

Tiling-

“…Five.”

At that moment, the bell hanging on the door rings.

I was swearing at customers, but it’s something I feel every day when customers come, but it’s really strange.

I don’t use any magic, but I always do this. There is also a fate that cannot be explained by magic.

“Come on…”

uh… uh…

what is this guy

As soon as I entered the store, the atmosphere changed in an instant. The air that was just filled with musty dust and the smell of mold turned into the air of the dungeon filled with dense magical power, as if it had ever been.

Not only that.

The robes he’s wearing, even me, who has evaluated all kinds of things, is an advanced magic tool that I can’t even know the value of.

It just has a grayish color like ratskin and looks very ugly and cheap, but that’s just a trick to fool blind idiots.

At first glance, it looks like a magical tool that can block the mana naturally discharged to a considerable level…

“Uh… ah…”

‘…baby?’

At that moment, I see a scene where a human child is held in the arms of that being.

It is an extraordinary landscape that does not fit the image of Kangja.

Normally, if you had brought a baby into the store, you would have kicked them out saying that you don’t know what your bedroom is.

“I heard that you buy any kind of thing once it’s worth it.”

“…Yes that’s right.”

The unidentified strongman takes out all sorts of dazzling jewels from his arms, regardless of my fearful attitude.

Manastones and bloodstones are the basics, and they are really rare things such as jewels cut in the shape of flowers, pink diamonds, and black pearls.

“Hey, these are…”

“Choose one to buy.”

“…Yes?”

“Can you pay for these things? If so, I apologize for what I just said.”

…I’m angry, but I can’t refute it.

I’ve been dealing with all sorts of things for almost hundreds of years, but I’ve never seen such precious jewels gathered in one place.

Truly, these will be worth the price, and I will barely be able to meet the price by pouring out all of my fortune.

“Then… Let’s do this. What’s your name?”

“Eclipse.”

Ummm… It’s the first jewel I’ve ever seen and the first name I’ve ever heard of.

But you can tell it’s never a trick or a scam.

It is partly because of the powerful spirit this person possesses, but the bigger thing is the presence of this gem called the Eclipse.

The body is pitch-black as pitch black and does not reflect anything, and it maintains a perfectly spherical shape, but the light emitted by this jewel emits a brilliant golden light that is completely different from the black body.

What’s even more creepy is that that golden light is only visible from the edge of the gem, no matter what point of view it is.

No matter what point of view you look at, the original body is not completely black, and it does not emit light at all, so it has complete darkness. It feels as if a two-dimensional object has been forcibly moved into a three-dimensional space.

…I’m not kidding, it’s going to be expensive.

“how much?”

“Evaluate. If it’s an appropriate price, I’ll trade it.”

I’ll be back. You’re doing it right now

If you ask for a price that is too high, you will receive it as is… Wait a minute.

Something… strange?

Asking me to give an appraisal, or even having to come to this back alley store… Do I really have no sense of money?

“How about 25,000 gold?”

“Twenty-five thousand…”

…that’s true.

Seeing you worrying, you have no sense of money.

If it is 25,000 gold, it is definitely within the range that can be called huge gold, but it is less than half the level of this gem called Eclipse.

It means that even if you select only the moderately sized ones among the finest manastones and bloodstones that this person just showed you, it will easily exceed 25,000 gold.

“Yeah, do that.”

“…!”

Ah… this…

can i take it?

I really didn’t know if I would agree…

Obviously, if you make this trade, you can make a huge profit. For the time being, you can stop doing business and just play.

But… that’s too short-sighted.

If he realizes he has been deceived, his reaction will either be that he will never come to my store to sell his valuables again, or that he will be angry and try to kill me.

Yes, you must not be blinded by the profits in front of you.

“Hey, I’ll give you 45,000 gold instead of 20,000 gold.”

“Are you okay?”

“Yes, instead, please come to me whenever you need money in the future.”

OK, this should be enough.

You can secure regular customers, and your life will be threatened.

“You called the price too low.”

…what?

Although he had no sense of money… he was very quick to see…?

“I… that’s…”

“You don’t need that much money anyway, so don’t worry about it.”

No, I don’t care…

When the person who was about to be deceived tells you not to care, someone nodded your head…

“And, one last question. It looks like an elf, so he must have lived for a long time and possessed various kinds of knowledge.”

“What is?”

…I’m surprised many times today.

How the hell did you know that I was an elf, my ears were cut off, my hair was frizzy, and I ate meat and alcohol every day and left nature for a long time.

As an elf, this is the knowledge to ask… I wonder where the other kindreds are-

“Uh… ahhh…”

“Do you know how to make baby food with what ingredients?”

“…yes?”

what are you talking about all of a sudden

**********

‘You have to prepare grain flour, meat, and vegetables in a ratio of 2:2:3 by weight, and then add water to adjust the concentration that the baby can digest. Appropriate…’

Meat can be substituted with fish or eggs, vegetables can be used, and you can add fish stock or meat stock to suit your baby’s taste.

Uh… I think it’s too rough, but… Well, the words of the elves, who have lived for a long time, are more credible than me who doesn’t know anything.

‘Let’s see, if this is enough… huh?’

…not tasty.

No, no matter how much I put the ingredients like this, it should be normal if something tastes good, right?

Where- no, carrots are the same.

‘…Is it my problem?’

Obviously, Noah had descriptions of demons enjoying various supper, so why can’t I taste it? Isn’t it Faust’s problem, not the devil’s problem?

Uh… I’m not sure about the taste, but I added only human-edible ones, and I thoroughly followed the recipe the elf gave me, so it’ll be okay, right?

“Eat it.”

“Ahh…”

After holding Lucia dearly, she scoops out baby food with a spoon and brings it to her lips.

Contrary to actions, the words that come out of your mouth are cold because they are not cheap enough, but it doesn’t seem to matter that much to Lucia, who doesn’t understand the words well.

Carefully lifted by her gigantic and vicious arms, Lucia looked at the spoon in the terrible hand of Molgol and the food in it, uttering only small sounds as to whether she wanted to eat it.

“Abu…”

‘Eat well…’

Usually, the videos of feeding a baby food that I saw on YouTube all say that the baby does not want to eat, so he stumbles or turns his face. It is enough to swallow a spoon and empty it in an instant.

It doesn’t taste like anything to me, but fortunately it seems to suit Lucia’s taste well. Or maybe it’s because I’m hungry.

‘…cute.’

Unlike ordinary babies, she is emaciated, but that cannot hide Lucia’s cuteness.

Lucia, who is desperately trying to eat baby food with her shaky black eyes, is so cute.

After becoming Faust, I stopped responding to people’s deaths, and I don’t even know how the devil’s body reacts to these emotions.
