What if the villainous aristocrat who is the middle boss remembers his previous life and gains knowledge of the game – I will never accept a future in

That  happened in the carriage on the way back to the Count's estate.

"Hmmm ......."

I was looking at one of the earring-type magical tools that I had finished appraising.

This is another one that I got from the Temple of Jealousy, but unlike the other magical tools I've appraised so far, it didn't take long and didn't expend much magic power at all.

(A magical tool that chooses its owner? ......)

I guess the fact that the appraisal was so easy is a sign of the intention to 'get with me quickly to a suitable owner'.

Some knowledge was not strange because some equipment had conditions for use, but it is a little complicated to say that I can not use something I obtained from the Temple of Jealousy, and I have the power of jealousy.

"What is it?"

"Hmm? Ah, it's one of the earring-type magical tools.'

Mina asked me wondering why I was holding a magical tool that I had just finished appraising.

"Is it a magical tool?'

"Yes, it is a magical tool with the effect of increasing the magic power of the person who wears it.'

The truth is, it is not such a nice effect.

In fact, the actual effect is the same as the function of recovering one's own magic power, what everyone calls a magic furnace.

In other words, the amount of magic power recovered can be simply doubled, and the earrings themselves have the effect of storing magic power, making it possible to fight for long period of time without worrying about magic power.

I can't explain all the details of such a dangerous thing.

"It's too bad I can't use it. ......"

If I wanted strength without relying on jealousy, this magical tool was very convenient.

Well, things are not supposed to go well.

Can't I use it?"

"Apparently there are conditions for its use, and I don't seem to fit those conditions."

What are the conditions?

'It's something as abstract as being favored by the magical tool. It's not a situation or some kind of ability at the time of obtaining it, and it would be up to luck as to whether or not I could use it."

As soon as I finished explaining, I noticed Mina staring at the earrings.

The earrings are designed to look like something a woman would like to wear, with a pretty flower base and a few gemstones embedded in it.

"If you don't mind, Mina would like to try them on?"

"Oh, you don't mind?!"

I asked her somehow, but she seemed to be quite hungry.

I guess she wanted to try it on.

"Yes, it's fine."

Thank you!

I handed the earrings to Mina.

'What?"

Mina, who was enjoying herself, froze when she saw the earrings.

"Hm? What's wrong?"

'......'

This could be bad.

I was caught off guard because the appraisal was over quickly. If you can choose who to use, you should be able to fool people.

Should I take the earrings away from Mina right away?

"Oh, um, ......"

'Are you okay?"

"Yes!

I heard voices coming from this earring. ......"

Did she hear voices?

'What did it say?"

Uh, well, it was a little rough, I guess I'd say. ......

"I don't care if it's rough, just tell me everything.""

After a few deep breaths, she opened his mouth.

"'That's nice, you deserve to use me, huh?'"

Huh?

Mina speaks in a strange voice, perhaps trying to imitate a voice, but her face is a little red and she must be embarrassed.

"'Well, the guy in front of you has some qualities, but he's a little bit...'Well, you're cute in that respect, and you're motivating me.

So, good luck from now on!'

Itsaid ......."

'That's it?"

'That's all."

Of course I'm interested in the unexpected intelligence, but couldn't she have done something about the way she speaks?

She sounds like a person who repeatedly picks up women at random.

'Can you speak freely?"

'No, I'm not sure I'm free now since I can't hear voices, but I do get the sense that I shouldn't throw away the earrings.'

When I touched the flirty earring to try it out, I felt strong resistance and my arm went numb, even though I let go immediately.

It has been transformed into a magical tool that is practically exclusive to Mina, which cannot even be touched by a regular human being, which is repelled even by me, who is no longer a pure person due to jealousy.

There were more things I had to do after I returned home.

I have to explain various things to Mina, and there is a high possibility that the magical tool will go out of control if I don't teach her how to use her magical powers.

I'm sorry, but I prohibit you to stay away from me temporarily. I will explain the situation when I return.

"Yes, Master!"

For some reason, Mina was in a better mood.

"May I put them on?"

"The earrings are now yours, and you are free to wear them as you wish."

"Thank you very much! I will treasure them!"

I am happy to see that Mina is pleased with it, perhaps because it is as if I gave it to her by accident.

There is a slight possibility that she will betray me, but considering that the Countess will make me strong, I might as well give the magical tools to the other servants as well.

I will give a few trusted ones, including Bosco, the magical tools I obtained at the Temple of Jealousy.

I will explain that it is a special bonus item...

Wait a minute.

The Count's family has been supporting the Duke's territory for some time now, and even though they have a powerful tool of commerce in the form of magic potions, it's still a tough sell, don't you think?

"Sorry to burst in here on such short notice, and at the risk of revealing my own ignorance, how much is Mina paid in salary?"

"Me? I have one gold coin.

One gold coin. ......!

It is lower than most of the people living in the city, and the lowest class of servants in the service of the nobility, in other words, no different from the servants of the barons.

Even though she is in the service of a count's family.

"Aaah."

It's a top priority. When I get to the count's house, I'll have to review the financial relationship as a top priority!

"I'm sorry."

"For what?'

We will be in the Count's territoy by tomorrow.

I'm sorry to Bosco for shaking things up, but there will be no time to sleep for a while from now on.
