Transmigrate inside a Web Novel as a Side Character.
Chapter 107: Chapter 107 Malik once again.

Hearing the truth about the number of stats from Eiji's mouth made Soma stiffen. He covered his face with his palms. His mind started to wander, for he couldn't imagine someone with maximum luck. No, he experienced firsthand how someone with max stats was in luck in his everyday life.

Soma slid open his palm to show his cramped face. He directed his gaze at Eiji, who he knows as the mob character who acquires lightning magic in the story. With that kind of luck, he doesn't know what kind of battle or life he has been through, but it seems he is also facing quite a deal of trouble in his life. As he currently possessed affinity with dark element magic.

Also, the person named Eiji is in front of him and in the novel, there are slight differences in his nature. The current him is a timid guy, and from what Soma read in the novel, he is a person who is decisive in his thinking. He put aside the person named Eiji on the side and started to shift his mind back toward the event unfolding begore him.

"Soma?".

"Ah? What's the matter?".

"No, you keep glancing at me, so..".

Eiji, with his timid nature, shrank his body, seeing Soma's sharp gaze that pierced his soul. Eiji fidgeted, taping his index fingers together, and his face flushed.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to do that, it's just. How should I say this? Mm, you had a lot in your hand, huh".

"Well, I am used to it by now".

As someone with maximum luck in his status, Soma couldn't imagine his life being disturbed each time he walked in the street. He felt slightly relieved in his heart not to maximise his luck stats in that dungeon.

Soma felt a slight vibration coming from his pocket. His face twitched for a moment. Then, he tucked his hand inside his pocket, taking his phone. Soma glanced at the two of them, who seemed to have realized his intention.

"Go ahead".

Eiji opened his mouth while Eri nodded her head, to which Soma replied with a nod. He lit up the display on his phone and saw the incoming message with the name Mr. Hiroshi on it.

Soma raised his brows for the swift action Hiroshi took. It seems the treasure in his storage ring has already been exchanged. He swiped up the phone display, tapped the new message and found Hiroshi's greeting and the details about the transaction he had done. As for the total amount, he put the number below, showing ten digits in the number starting with one.

Seeing the enormous numerical value of the treasure he had. Soma's eyes bulged, and it almost popped out from his socket. His body turned to stone, and his brain halted, stopping his thought process.

It was the first time he saw this much money in his possession. Also, the currencies he had are the highest currencies in the world he lives in right now. After being absent for a few seconds, his consciousness came back.

Soma put away the phone in his pocket and started puffing out his chest, sucking a massive amount of oxygen into his lungs to calm his agitated mind. After doing it several times, his mind returned to its usual state, and his brain started to work properly after receiving some intake from oxygen.

"Soma, are you alright?".

"...Yeah, I am fine".

"I see".

"Should we search for a place to eat first Or resume our plan?".

Eri, who kept her mouth shut until now, opened it and asked about the plan they had agreed to beforehand. Soma and Eiji exchange glances and nod their heads simultaneously.

"Lets postponed our meal. If you don't mind. I had this storage ring that could preserve food. It also features some time stop function".

Hearing the words that came out from Soma's words, Eiji and Eri's eyes opened wide because of the amazing item Soma owns.

"Wow, amazing. Soma, are you from some rich family?".

"...?!".

"Nah, I was getting it from someone who owes me".

Soma raised his hand that held the takoyaki, which was still warm. He places the takoyaki before his eyes and then connects his thought with the ring before the takoyaki vanishes from his hand.

Eiji and Eri opened their eyes wide, seeing the event. They turned their gaze to each other as if they understood each other from gaze alone. They nodded and presented both takoyaki and the gold bars in Eiji's hands.

"Soma, please, can you put this inside?".

"No problem".

Soma began to store the takoyaki and the gold bars inside the storage ring he had and decided to resume their purpose coming in here.

They raised their feet, carrying them toward a certain place as Soma led in front. After walking for about five minutes, Soma and the others finally arrived at the corner of the market, where there stood a gray-colored building that looked old. On the door, there is a sign hinting that this place was a blacksmith.

"This is the place".

"This was…".

"...It looks antique".

Eiji and Eri express their dumbfoundedness while looking at the exterior of the building. Soma chuckled, seeing their expression. There is no more excellent proof than letting them experience it themselves.

"Let's enter".

Soma climbed the stairs and put his hand on the wooden door. He exerted some strength to push the door forward, letting out the clear chime of a bell that alarmed the person inside.

"Welcome?! It's you, kid".

"Pardon the intrusion".

As Soma enters the shop, Eiji and Eri follow him from behind. The interior of the shop didnt change much from Soma memories. Malik, who saw other people who entered the shop, shrunk his gaze, which made Eiji, who saw it, shrink his body. Eri, who notices it, starts to move and stands before Eiji, trying to protect him.

"Who are they?".

"They are my acquaintance who seems to have trouble looking for a blacksmith shop. So, I lead them here because you are the only blacksmith I know in town".

Soma, who is already acquainted with Malik, approaches the counter, glancing at the two.

"...Well, fair enough. You kids?".

"Yeesh?!".

"Hm?".

Eiji shrinks back. Face whitened, hearing the hoarse and low growl that came from Malik's side, which invited Eri also in peril.

"Ahaha, put away those frowns of yours, Mr Malik".

"Hm? Ah, sorry about that. It was my old habit".

"Is that so?".

"Yeah, sorry, you two. So what are you looking for?".

Malik changed his tone and fixed his facial expression a bit. The two of them warily exchange glances before approaching the counter where Malik sits.

"Um?".

"...".

"...Do you have sturdy shield and a longsword that I can use?".

Eri is the one who takes the lead, seeing Eiji still keep his mouth shut. Malik knitted his brows, hearing the girl's request. He turned his gaze vertically, seeing the girl statue, but after seeing the will that showed from her eyes. He throws away the urge to speak up.

"...Um, do you have some item that could Help me fix my control over magic?".

Malik turned his gaze at Soma, to which Soma replied by shaking his head to the side as he came here with another intention in mind.

"Why are you here then?".

"I am here because I want some information. Can you please elaborate some of it for me?".

"There is no such thing in here. Go home, kid!".

"... Please, I beg of you".

Malik's gaze, which softened, turned serene the moment Soma spoke about his business in coming to the shop, with hidden intention.
