154 Equivalent Exchange

"Calm down. I won't take the Elixir of Immortality from you for free. If I do, how am I any different from a bandit?"

Those words made Iwasaka relax a little.

"In that case—"

"Let's change places."

*Click*

Before Iwasaka finished his words, Ars snapped his fingers. The next moment, the two of them were in different rooms.

"This..."

Iwasaka's pupils contracted when he realized they had changed locations.

"Tsukasa!"

When he saw his daughter lying weak on the bed, he went over to her and checked her condition.

Iwasaka felt his daughter was dying, and did not have long to live.

"Sir, I beg you to heal my daughter. I ask."

After that, he kowtowed to Ars.

(So she is one of the heroines of this world. No wonder Nasa fell in love with her at first sight. Her beauty is only slightly inferior to Princess Kaguya)

Ars thought to himself while observing the girl lying on the bed.

Even without makeup, the girl has a beautiful face. With long pink hair, her beauty surpasses South Korean actresses who rely on plastic surgery.

Tsukuyomi Tsukasa, or better known as Yuzaki Tsukasa after marrying Nasa in the future!

As for why Ars considers Tsukasa as one of the heroines, because this universe not only consists of the anime [Tonikaku Kawai], but also the anime [Hayate no Gotoko], so there are dozens of heroines.

After observing Tsukasa for a moment, Ars took out another glass bottle from [Storage Magic], and placed it in front of Iwasaka who was still kneeling.

"Let your daughter drink this. I guarantee, the disease will be cured."

"Really?"

Looking at the beautiful bottle filled with green liquid that exuded a fragrant aroma, Iwasaka hesitated a little.

"It's up to you to believe it or not. Anyway, I will not return the Elixir of Immortality back to you." Ars said indifferently.

In fact, he didn't need to make an equivalent exchange with Iwasaka. If he wanted to, the other party couldn't do anything if he took the Elixir of Immortality by force.

The reason Ars did this was because he didn't want to owe karma to Iwasaka. Even with his current level of strength, the karma had no effect on him.

"I believe. I'm sorry I doubted you, sir."

Afraid that Ars would retract his words, Iwasaka took the bottle, then approached his daughter who was barely breathing.

Opening the bottle cap, a scent full of vitality flowed out, even Iwasaka felt his body refreshed as if he had returned to his teenage years.

Then, he poured the liquid in the bottle into Tsukasa's mouth.

It didn't take long for the medicinal properties to start working. Tsukasa's skin color returned to that of a healthy person, her breathing stabilized, and she no longer looked like she was in pain.

"Haaa...."

Seeing his daughter's condition, Iwasaka breathed a sigh of relief. Before he could celebrate Tsukasa's recovery, he heard bad news from Ars.

"By the way, that medicine is not an ordinary healing potion. The effect is somewhat similar to the Elixir of immortality, but there are limitations."

"W-What will happen to Tsukasa?" Iwasaka asked a little nervously.

"Your daughter has a life span of more than 1400 years, she will not age, will not die from being killed, and she cannot commit suicide." Ars explained calmly.

In fact, this is the accumulated lifespan of the customers who made transactions with him.

If it were just a human, it would be impossible for Ars to accumulate that much life span. However, among the customers, there were three Elf.

Elf are a species known to be blessed with lifespan. Therefore, Ars got a lifespan of hundreds of years from them

He doesn't want Tsukasa to die before the plot starts because he took the Elixir of Immortality.

So, Ars created an alternative Elixir of Immortality with his own method.

Because the method of making it is unethical and contrary to morals, he will not make his future life partner immortal in this way.

That's why Ars patiently waited for Princess Kaguya to create the Elixir of Immortality for Emperor Murakami, then took it!

"So that's how it is... I was worried that Tsukasa would be executed along with me. Looks like I don't need to worry about this."

After hearing that, Iwasaka seemed to relax.

News of him not carrying out the emperor's order to burn the Elixir of Immortality would be known sooner or later. At that time, he and his entire family would be executed.

"Thank you very much, sir. I will always remember your kindness."

Iwasaka said sincerely while bowing in front of Ars.

He didn't want his daughter to live forever, if it wasn't for the lack of medicine, he wouldn't let her drink the Elixir of Immortality.

Even though Tsukasa has a long life, one day she will still die because she runs out of age. This option is better than eternal life.

"No need to thank me. It's just an equivalent exchange. Then, goodbye."

"Wait sir! You still haven't told me your name."

"Hmmm... There's no harm in telling you. My name is Ars Idriss, owner of the Destiny Trading Club."

After saying that, Ars' figure disappeared under Iwasaka's dumbfounded gaze.

"Destiny Trading Club... So he owns that place. Not suprisingly..."

.....

"I am home."

"Welcome home, boss."

As soon as he opened the door, Ars was greeted by Rea who was cleaning the shelves with a duster in her hand.

"Boss seems to be in a good mood. Did something good happen?"

"Is it obvious?"

"Yes. It's rare to see the boss smile."

Ars touched his face, and felt his lips curve into a faint smile unconsciously.

"Well, one of my quests has been achieved. Rea, prepare the scenic equipment. Tonight we are having a barbecue."

"Understood, boss. Leave it to me."

Rea's eyes lit up, then immediately went to the warehouse to prepare barbecue equipment.

"Restia, Est, stop watching TV. Let's get out."

Ars approached the two Sword Spirits who were engrossed in watching TV.

"You did it?" Restia asked.

"Yes."

Ars showed the Elixir of Immortality to the two of them

"The vessel looks ordinary. If you put it on the market, no one will know what's inside is the Elixir of Immortality." Restia commented.

"Congratulations, Ars." Est said still expressionless.

Then the three of them left the shop, gathered in the yard, and waited for Rea to finish preparing.

"It's a pity that the clouds cover the moon and stars in the sky. It drains the festive atmosphere." Restia said while looking at the sky.

"Ars, do something." Est said.

"Okay."

Ars felt that the weather conditions were also unfavorable, so he waved his hand. Instantly, the night sky filled with stars was clearly visible.

"Even though this isn't the first time I've seen it. The night sky in this era is much more beautiful than the night sky in the future." Rea sighed in amazement.

"It is reasonable. In the modern era, air pollution fills the atmosphere, so the night sky is not so good." Ars said lightly.

"Boss is right." Rea nodded in agreement.

After all the ingredients and equipment were ready, Rea and Restia started grilling the barbecue. Meanwhile, Ars lay on a folding chair with Est as needed.

"Carefree living is the best!"

Surrounded by beautiful girls, Ars felt that the life of the previous six reincarnations was the price for enjoying the seventh reincarnation.

"Ars, your hand touched my butt."

"Ah, sorry, Est. I accidentally."

Because he was lost in thought, Ars didn't realize that his hand, which was originally stroking Est's head, had somehow ended up on her butt.

"Ars seems to really enjoy it, keep going, I don't mind." Est said while preventing Ars from withdrawing his hand.

"I didn't mean to, okay?"

Ars's eyes twitched, and withdrew his hand.

"Stop making out, I'm here too~."

Restia came with a plate containing barbecue.

"Oh, it's cooked." Ars said, then tasted the barbecue.

"How does it feel?" Restia asked.

"Um, delicious as usual."

"Fufufuh~ that's good to hear."

Restia looked at Est as if showing off her superiority.

Est pretended not to see that, and ate barbecue in Ars' arms.

"This is delicious~"

Biting a roasted hydrangea leaf, Rea smiled with satisfaction.
