Although Senmai is an open tourist city, the cost of coming here or living here is several times higher than outside.
This inevitably means that most of those who can come here, apart from the local natives, are people with certain wealth or status.
And the bank vault holds the money of these wealthy youngsters and stores their important items.
Now the Demon King wants to borrow your money for a bit, not too much to ask, right?
Shami said nothing. After quieting down the skeleton, she went to the front desk of the bank.
"Hello, I would like to deposit this box in your highest security vault."
Shami lifted the box.
"Please come this way."
The front desk attendant led Shami into a secure room, where there were dedicated inspection and liaison personnel.
"Hello, before placing items in the safety deposit box, we need to inspect them to ensure they do not pose a threat to other customers' items and that they are legal."
"I understand, go ahead and check."
The inspector opened Shami's suitcase and saw a crystal-clear bone frame, thinking it was a bad person threatening the bank, almost pressed the alarm button in his hand.
"This is the skeleton of my brother's deceased wife. Because I promised her to travel around the world together, after she died, I've been bringing her to tour the world."
"Oh, I see (sigh of relief)."
"Wait, sir, your information is quite a lot."
The two inspectors frowned.
However, having handled many similar requests, the two suppressed their inner confusion.
Rich people have all kinds of peculiarities. Last time, someone even deposited a bottle claiming to be 'original sea water bathed by a magical girl.'
As long as it's safe, there's no need to worry about such things, just do your job properly.
"But because the climate here is hot and humid, carrying it around isn't convenient for my activities, so I'm planning to put her in your safety deposit for a while and retrieve her later."
"In such a case, actually storing it in a hotel is also possi—"
"Miss Inspector, you wouldn't want to see my brother's wife's skeleton left in the hotel facing some abuse while I'm out enjoying myself, would you? Just the thought makes my heart ache."
Normal people wouldn't do such things to a skeleton! And what's with that 'I'm serious' expression?
The inspector bowed quickly.
"I'm very sorry for saying such things! I'll arrange it for you now. However, storing it in the vault has a minimum fee requirement. Since you are choosing to deposit your wife's, oh sorry, your brother's wife's, remains, a 50 Gold Coin deposit fee is required."
So expensive!
Shami frowned but still agreed.
"It's okay. After all, she's my wife now."
During the comprehensive inspection, everything checked out fine.
But in the end, the inspector wanted to conduct an extra life sign test out of curiosity.
"Sir, I might need to conduct a life sign test on your brother's wife. It's not because I worry she's a magical skeleton, just..."
"I understand what you mean, go ahead."
"Thank you for your understanding."
"This ring..."
"Oh, it's a ring my brother gave to his wife. Since it has sentimental value, I've kept it, letting my brother also enjoy the scenery. And when money is tight, I can sell it, haha. Do I need to take it off now?"
Oh, what a player! He's a total Minotaur!
"No need, sir..."
Ordinary tools can't see through the ring Shami spent a night disguising with Magic Power.
The inspector skipped the ring, thoroughly examining the skeleton inside and out, including the inside of the skull, finding no abnormalities.
In an earlier upgrade, Shami had moved the bone frame's weak point to the toe.
Also, this bone frame is different from the ordinary Skeleton Race. When completely pretending to be dead, the inside of the skull doesn't emit a ghostly glow like normal skeletons, so no matter how you look at it, it appears as an ordinary skeleton. Standard ways to identify the Skeleton Race don't work at all.
It passed the inspection smoothly, and the box was sent to the safe vault.
"I'll be back to retrieve it in the afternoon."
"Rest assured, sir! We will take good care of your wife!"
...
The streetscape of Senmai is very beautiful; almost the entire city is built on a hillside, so walking on the streets, one can see the sea and the beach, with flocks of white seagulls circling in the azure sky.
As they walked along, the three girls each donned a white beach hat with a pure white feather tucked in the brim.
After parting ways with Shami, the three agreed to first buy swimwear.
While admiring the scenery, they strolled leisurely through the streets.
With Shami's financial support, the three arrived at the largest women's swimwear & clothing store in Senmai. Even before entering, they could see various types of swimwear through the window, and besides swimwear, there were also all sorts of cute and stylish clothing for girls on sale.
"So many swimsuits!"
The white-haired girl's face lit up with excitement as she impatiently stepped inside.
The Magical Girl followed with interest, entering the store.
Although she lived in Saint Karno, it was her first time seeing such a big swimwear store.
Maybe she could buy a nice swimsuit and seduce the Demon King with it, convincing him that such a beautiful girl wouldn't casually pick flowers from people's bodies.
The Magical Girl pondered silently.
But the Elf Maiden was stunned at the entrance, hesitant to go in.
"What's wrong, Lureya?"
The two looked back and found Lureya standing dumbfounded at the entrance, her face full of fear.
"It's nothing really..."
Lureya swallowed and her eyes wandered.
Wait, this is a swimsuit store, which means soon she'll try on swimsuits together with Lina and Saili.
The blond girl glanced at Lina's impressive chest, then at Saili's rather nice curves, and finally looked at herself.
Lowering her head slightly, she caught sight of her cute toes.
It's definitely a big deal!
