It had already been three days since Nordrad began his research on the den. Despite dripping waterfalls of sweat, his face was positively filled with vitality.

Iris and Kate, meanwhile, were bored out of their skulls.

If his research had been a little more interesting, that would have been great, but what he was up to now was rather plain. At a glance, it looked like he was just doing the same things over and over, so it wasn’t much fun to watch.

The only reason the pair continued to endure the heat and boredom was because they were getting paid twenty gold a day just to stand there. However, even that patience was close to running out of stock. Iris called out to Nordrad, who was still engaged in his research.

“Hey, Nord.” Her tone was slightly fed up. “How long are you going to keep doing that?”

There was a pause before he absently responded, “Oh, sorry. This will be my last experiment, so wait just a little longer.”

Nordrad had a black box set up on the ground. It was thirty centimeters to a side, and there was an opening the size of about three fingers on the top.

He poured something inside that rattled, and then it immediately started making a whirring noise.

With that sound drawing their attention, Iris and Kate came over. They leaned in to peer at the thing Nordrad was holding.

“Would those...happen to be frostbite bat fangs?”

“Yeah. I could have used junk magic stones, but for some reason, these were available at a more affordable price. That was fortunate.”

“Affordable, huh?”

The reason was blatantly obvious to Iris and Kate, but no matter how cheap the fangs had been, he was still using a lot of them. They would have cost him more than any ordinary person could have casually afforded to pay—or they should have, but Nordrad was grabbing fangs by the fistful and just chucking them in.

Just thinking about the cost was enough to make Kate sigh, so she kept asking questions so that she wouldn’t have to think about it. “What are you doing with them?”

“This is an artifact that boosts the magical power of the area around it using these sorts of materials.”

Kate had been asking about his objective, but what she had gotten instead was an explanation of the device’s effect. She couldn’t imagine that boosting the magical power of the surrounding area was his end goal, so the key thing was what he was hoping would happen as a result of that increased magical power.

However, Nordrad offered no further explanation. He measured the level of magical power with his gauge, noting down the values. “Water element is up, volume of magical power is up. Looking just at the volume of magical power, I feel like it could cause some kind of change, but...nothing, huh? Is it not enough yet?”

The next thing Nordrad pulled out was the flame stones that Iris and Kate had worked so hard to gather for him. He casually tossed the bag they were in into the top of the box.
