"I'll buy it! It's just a re 300,000 yen after all!"
Ainz, in his ultimate nouveau riche form, declared he'd buy it on the spot.
He took out a small handful of gold coins and placed them on the table.
"Saitama! Don't forget! You still have !!!" Ainz patted Saitama's back.
The two looked at each other with true emotion.
"Ainz!"
"Saitama!"
"My besto friendo!!!"
Yuto didn't know where to start complaining.
He was quite doubtful inside. Utaha told him playing SAO required wearing a sensory helt to stimulate the cranial nerves.
That's how normal humans play.
But... a skeleton, even if he could wear a helt, does he even have cranial nerves to speak of?
Also, how does a sli body wear a helt?
Does he just squeeze inside it?
Looking at Ainz and Rimuru, who were grinning foolishly, Yuto was sure of one thing: these two guys definitely hadn't thought about this problem.
When he brought this issue up, Ainz and Rimuru fell silent.
They were quiet for a few seconds.
The skeleton and the sli both stated they'd just buy it first and figure it out later.
Yuto froze for a mont.
'Whatever, why should I care so much? When the ti cos to buy it, I'll let these two figure it out themselves!'
Yuto put the gold coins Ainz gave him into the spatial backpack Ainz had given him last ti.
After buying a bunch of random stuff for Ainz and Rimuru last ti, Ainz gifted the backpack to Yuto.
If the bag weren't so plain, Yuto wouldn't mind carrying it out.
But it couldn't be helped.
No matter who wore this bag, it would draw a lot of attention.
Last ti Yuto carried this bag out, passersby stared at him for a long ti.
Maybe it was because this spatial backpack was originally an in-ga item.
So it carried an unexplainable gaming otaku vibe. So Yuto just left it in the restaurant.
Just as he put away the chest of gems Gilgash gave him, he thought of this backpack.
It was perfect for putting gold, gems, gold coins, and similar items inside.
It doesn't take up space and is lightweight.
Very convenient!
As for how to deal with these gold and gems, Yuto had a plan. Originally, Yuto temporarily set aside the gold Rimuru gave him. Because he was worried about how to handle it at the ti.
Simply selling it at a gold shop would inevitably draw a lot of attention.
That would be troubleso.
But now, he'd thought of an appropriate thod.
Ask Kaguya for help!
As the eldest daughter of the Shinomiya family, she'd have no problem dealing with this amount of gold and gems.
When the ti cos, he'd just give her a gem as a reward.
Yuto locked the spatial backpack up again. He glanced at the clock again. It was already past three o'clock.
Then he looked at Saitama. "Saitama, aren't you going to rest?"
Saitama froze the mont Yuto asked him.
He looked up at the clock.
Shock appeared on his face, followed by instant disappointnt.
His perfect sleep has gone again!!!
"Oh, it's already this ti. There's no need for you to sleep then, Saitama. Let's pull an all-nighter together." Ainz glanced at the clock.
It was just past three o'clock, Ainz didn't care!
"Yeah, it's past three so there's no need to sleep. Let's pull an all-nighter together! Pulling an all-nighter occasionally is good for the body!" Rimuru agreed.
Hearing Rimuru's words, Yuto froze.
'Huh?! Pulling an all-nighter occasionally is good for the body??? What kind of devilish health tip is this???'
Saitama's expression shifted several tis.
Ainz took the chance to pat his shoulder again.
"We're about to clear the ga, aren't you curious about the later scenes, Saitama?" Ainz looked like a devil tempting people right now.
Coupled with his skeletal fra, the comparison was even more fitting.
Saitama sighed with so determination. Just as he was about to nod and agree, Yuto spoke up to Ainz and Rimuru.
"Ainz, Rimuru, don't forget you two still have important business tonight."
At Yuto's words, Ainz and Rimuru froze.
Ainz let out a helpless and disappointed sigh as Rimuru did the sa.
"This is painful, I forgot about that!"
"Sigh, it looks like we can't keep playing!"
Both of their tones were pained.
To Yuto, these two were just sad because they couldn't keep playing gas!
'Sigh. Guardians of the Great Tomb of Nazarick and goblins of the Goblin Village, it's my fault. I shouldn't have bought handheld consoles for Ainz and Rimuru.' Yuto learned a painful lesson.
He finally realized the mistake of his past actions.
Unfortunately, there was no way to change it.
"Saitama, it seems we can't pull an all-nighter today." Ainz patted Saitama's shoulder in pain and disappointnt.
This left Saitama feeling a bit confused. 'If we can't, we can't... why are you so disappointed...'
Maybe because Saitama wasn't a veteran gaming otaku, he couldn't understand the joy of an all-nighter for veteran gars.
"It can't be helped, let's get down to business, or else I'll have to lie to Rigurd again," Rimuru said.
"Sigh." Ainz sighed deeply and stood up. "Kamisaka, this is for you."
Yuto looked at the handheld console Ainz's handed over and was a bit confused.
"I don't play." Yuto waved his hand, showing he didn't play gas.
The restaurant is running now, he can't sink into gas.
Playing during the day is fine though.
"No, I an can you charge it for ? It's about to run out of battery." Ainz paused for a mont before stating his true intention.
At his words, Rimuru quickly followed suit.
He handed his console over too. "Boss, Boss, too!"
Yuto's mouth twitched as he took the consoles from these two guys.
When he bought them, he'd thought about how the two of them would charge them.
Now, his thought had co true.
They're really charging them in the restaurant!
"Nice! As expected of my best friend!" Ainz gave Yuto a thumbs-up.
At this mont, Yuto even had an illusion. 'Are the guy's teeth shining? The weird reflections multiplied!'
"Hurry up and disappear from my sight."
"Ah, okay."
Yuto waved at Ainz in annoyance, and the latter zood out with Rimuru.
He had to take Rimuru first to record the structure of the upper floors of the Great Tomb of Nazarick.
After Ainz and Rimuru left, Saitama scratched his head.
"Then I'm leaving too, Kamisaka."
Saitama smiled naively at Yuto and turned to leave.
Perhaps because it was his first ti wearing this kind of leather suit. Yuto felt Saitama's pace was a bit like a primary school student's.
The raised arms and falling steps really made people want to laugh.
"Hey! That sli just now—"
Thump!
"Call him boss! Don't use 'hey' to address the boss!" Fafnir was hamred by Tohru the mont he spoke.
He looked angry but suppressed it.
Then he spoke again. "Boss, what is that thing the sli was playing with called?"
Yuto raised his eyebrows slightly.
'What, another one wanting to sink into gas?'
In the end, Yuto agreed to Fafnir's request to buy a handheld console.
Facing Fafnir, who seriously said, "I'm just studying human tools, don't look down on ," Yuto felt the guy was being earnest.
If it was for research, that was fine.
Fafnir took out a few pieces of sothing resembling talisman paper and handed them to Yuto in return.
Yuto picked up the talisman paper and inspected it.
It was a strip, no more than ten centiters long, with a wicked-looking dragon head drawn at the top.
The rest was blank.
"What's this?" Yuto asked.
"A cursed tool. Just write down the na of the person you hate, and they'll die under bizarre circumstances within three days," Fafnir said.
From his serious expression, it was impossible to tell if he was being serious or joking!
"Is... is this real?" Yuto asked.
He received nods of agreent from everyone.
"Oh my, is this a cursing tool you just researched recently, Fafnir? It looks much more convenient than before," Lucoa said.
"Fafnir is a dragon who excels at curses anyway. Because his body is too small for combat, he can only rely on curses," Kanna's naive words made Fafnir frown instantly.
"Hey! Kanna, I'm right next to you."
"Oh." Facing Fafnir's serious and dangerous gaze, Kanna just gave a plain "oh."
She had no intention of apologizing.
"Mhm~ mhm~~ mhm!!! Boss, I think it's very fitting for you to hold onto this! This way, if any human dares to provoke you, you can just curse them to death! That's great! Hehehehahaha, good job, Fafnir!"
Tohru never cared about other humans.
She usually added adjectives like "dirty" or "disgusting" when referring to humans.
Although she always stated that Yuto wasn't included in the category of humans she insulted, Yuto still felt it was weird.
Tohru laughed and patted Fafnir's back.
This almost made Fafnir's glasses fall off.
He pushed up his glasses and added another sentence. "As long as the dragon head at the top hasn't disappeared, you can use it repeatedly."
What else could Yuto say? He could only smile.
He glanced at the paper strip again and then put it away.
He hoped there wouldn't co a day he'd need to use this strip!
"Hmph, this is our deal, we must not break our promise," Fafnir crossed his arms again.
