Kagura x Lyon ~ I'll Take It Under Consideration

Author's P.O.V.

The job seemed brutal for most wizard in Lamia Scale, one they feared for one reason or another. For the third most powerful guild in Fiore, they didn't seem too keen on risking their lives, not even the S-Class wizards. However, this seemed like no problem at all for the ice-make wizard, Lyon Vastia. Jura of the Ten Wizards Saints could have easily taken the same request if he weren't already out on a mission by their master, Oba Babasama.

Lyon's friends were obviously confident in his abilities, although they still asked him if he wanted them to accompany him, since they were often considered a team. He refused. Although he knew the job was dangerous, he had no doubt he'd complete it with ease (and deep down, he also wanted to show off to his guild mates and the readers of Weekly Sorcerer.

He set off on his mission to the small town of Black-Eyed-Susan, which had become infamous for their extreme requests. But when he arrived, he wasn't left quite unimpressed.

Lyon's P.O.V.

How boring, to think this is the town famous for its collection of valuable items collected by wizards. The town houses were small, and quite pathetic looking. They were unkempt and empty looking, however, the people wore exotic clothing. It was quite easy to tell apart the inhabitants from the tourists. The citizens wore extra fine material, lots were flashy and even sparkled, they were either leaving their homes or returning with merchandise. The tourist were more casual clothing, obviously, many brought image-capture lacrimas, and roamed the streets and sidewalks.

The closer I got to down town, the more merchants were on the streets, selling all types of exotic items. Even children had put out lemonade stands.

"Come get some nice cool lemonade on this hot day! The lemons were brought from the Giant Alligator Hill, the most sour lemons in Fiore! The sugar is pure sugar cane from Tooth Lake! Where the most notorious sharks swim, with legs to walk on land. But the finest sugar you could find on the continent!"

"Make sure to buy these necklaces! Silver brought from the darkest and most dangerous cave, Bat Horror, where you'll find the shiniest sliver! It's even more valuable than regular platinum!"

"This snake skin purse was made from a Basilisk's scales! The most predatory and rare snake in Ishgar!"

Everything was made from the finest and rarest products in the continent. Not even the capital city of Crocus had such fine products. But what do they do with the money they make off of such expensive products. The houses were bent out of shape, so they were obviously not using it for renovations. However, looking around, it seemed that they sold as much as they bought. Greedy is what defines this town best.

The town's center was the most beautiful area, the only place that looked at all decent. Right in the center was a large fountain, with the purest and most crystal-clear water I had ever seen. It was in the center of all the rowdiest selling area, where the merchants were most productive. The houses were almost as large as mansion, definitely well cleaned (probably thanks to the maids and housekeepers that were brought in from foreign areas, considered the best in the land).

But right behind the fountain stood the largest building, both wide in width and depth. And it was very tall as well. The client was the mayor of the town. And apparently, he was notorious for requesting the finest of the finest products in all of Earthland.

I was welcomed into the building by a tall man with short black hair, in a proper suit, but the materiel was obviously much more valuable than any normal suit. It's only a wonder where he got everything.

"May I speak to Mayor Franziz please?" I asked him.

The man grinned, quite proudly, "That would be me," he asserted.
