The Strongest Onmyoji and the Shikigami With AI are Unparalleled in Another World ~ A Second Life Properly Enjoyed Using Artificial Intelligence ~ - Chapter 222

After selling the scimitar and leaving the guild, I head south as Gina had said.

Then, unlike the north, there were people on a whole different level, and it was incredibly bustling.

There were all kinds of shops, some of them shady street vendors, giving the place a strange atmosphere.

Moreover, seeing the goods lined up in such shops, Lily’s eyes sparkled, which was very dangerous.

While stopping Lily, we looked around the shops and turned back just before the shady area.

Then, when we returned to the inn, A.I.-chan used telepathy to talk to the bee with Leanne.

“Bee-san says Master should wait a bit longer because Leanne-san is currently working hard.”

Is her job that busy?

“Got it. Well then, let’s rest a bit.”

We sat on the sofa and took a breather.

Then, after waiting for about 30 minutes, Leanne arrived.

“Is your work finished?”

“I’ll talk about that too. Where’s Pamela?”

“She prepared dinner. Let’s go home.”

Oh yeah, it’s her day off.

“Got it. I’m counting on you.”

We touched Leanne and returned to my room in the dorm.

There, food was lined up on the kotatsu table, and Pamela was sitting in her usual spot, waiting.

Beside her, Tama-chan was gnawing on a fish.

“Welcome back.”

Pamela greeted us with a smile.

“Ah, I’m back. Sorry for making you cook for us.”

“It’s fine. I only waited a bit anyway.”

We took off our shoes and sat in our usual spots.

“I’m tired.”

“……I’m really grateful that you cooked for us.”

“Making food from now on is kind of tough.”

“Lunch was a bit early, so I got hungry.”

We decided to eat the food Pamela made.

First, I picked up the rice ball in front of me and stared at it.

“I-Is something wrong?”

Leanne, sitting next to me, looked up with a worried expression.

“That’s something that was called an onigiri in my previous life. Did your world have them too?”

“Yes. Rice cultivation was central.”

Leanne’s world really is close to the one I lived in.

“At my house, we used to wrap this in seaweed.”

“So did we. But seaweed doesn’t exist in this world.”

Is that so…

I took a bite of the onigiri.

“Tastes good.”

The saltiness is just right, and it’s very delicious.

Well, there’s no way a salted onigiri could taste bad.

“I-I see…”

Leanne nodded in relief.

As I thought, this onigiri was made by Leanne.

It must be Leanne’s heartfelt creation, even though she can’t cook.

That’s why Bee-san told us to wait a little.

“……Chibi-masu, your face is all red.”

“Shut up. Just eat.”

We continued eating the onigiri that Leanne had made and the food Pamela had prepared.

As Annie had said, since lunch was a bit early and we were tired from going through the labyrinth and shops, we finished everything in no time.

Then, after dinner, we relaxed with tea Natalia had brewed.

“Yuuma-sama, how was today?”

Leanne asked.

“Do you want the good news or the bad news first?”

“Then, the good news.”

Good news first, huh…

“Well… First, I got a sword called a scimitar and sold it at the guild. Got 50 gold coins.”

“Fifty…”

“That’s amazing. As expected of the labyrinth city…”

Leanne and Pamela had surprised expressions.

“And then there are the magic stones. AI-chan.”

“Yes, yes!”

AI-chan lined up the magic stones on the kotatsu table.

“Amazing…”

“Yes. Even without examining them in detail, you can tell they’re high-rank magic stones.”

Pamela picked up one of the magic stones and began staring at it intently.

“How is it?”

Leanne asked Pamela.

“The rank is at least B. I’d say 5 gold coins each…”

“I see.”

5 gold coins… There are 8 magic stones, so that’s 40 gold coins.

“Just diving in a bit got us 90 gold coins.”

That’s incredible.

“The labyrinth city really is amazing.”

“Indeed… No wonder adventurers from all over the world gather here. Yuuma-sama, I’d like to hear the bad news too.”

There’s a lot of bad, though…

“The labyrinth’s difficulty was higher than I imagined. This result came from just a little over an hour. In other words, we dove in and turned back after just that much.”

“You got this much in just over an hour… But it was that difficult, huh? Still, there are no enemies for you, Yuuma-sama, right?”

“The monsters were strong, but certainly not enemies. The bigger issue lies elsewhere. Especially the traps.”

“Traps? Can’t the little fox’s search handle those?”

When Leanne asked that, AI-chan looked dejected.

“Sorryyy. It’s uselessss…”

“What’s wrong, little fox?”

Leanne seemed a bit put off.

“The biggest reason we turned back is that AI-chan fell into a pitfall and died.”

“Huh? She’s alive though…?”

AI-chan had a smug look.

“AI-chan is a shikigami, same as Big Spider-chan and the others. Even if she dies, she comes back if I summon the shikigami again.”

“Now that you mention it, you did say something like that. But if the little fox died, that means she couldn’t detect the trap…”

AI-chan sank down gloomily.

“Yuuma-san, the labyrinth is certainly profitable, but if it’s dangerous, you should stop…”

Pamela tried to stop me.

“Well, hold on. AI-chan, tell me the results of the installation.”

“Okaaay…”

Cheer up…

I hate to say it, but you’re useful, helpful, and cute, well, also clumsy, and frequently messing around.
