Azeez picked the Boosted Gear up and put it back in its spot, "Azeez did not wish to sell it in the first place. As long as the pretty redhead returns with money, Azeez will sell it to her."
Both girls looked concerned and Sona could see Rias contemplating just trying to take the Boosted Gear.
Wanting to preempt any attempt to do so and likely infuriating a potentially powerful person they could recruit, she grabbed Rias by the elbow and guided her out of the pocket dimension.
Without saying a word the pair teleported back to the school to gather the necessary funds to buy their items.
Sirzechs looked up from the paperwork he was filling out and smiled when he saw who was calling him. He quickly accepted the call, "Ria-tan! It's so good to hear from you!"
On the magical screen for the call, Rias fought not to frown at the childish nickname her much, much, older brother constantly used. She ignored it in favor of getting right to the point, "I need one hundred million yen, onii-san."
Sirzechs coughed and looked at his little sister in surprise. While he could easily get that much money, it was also not an insignificant sum.
Rias had never, not once, asked him for money before, and the slight desperation in her tone set off alarm bells for him. He gave Rias a serious look as he asked, "What do you need that kind of money for?"
A large part of him hoped it was for something silly related to her love of all things Japanese, like a super limited edition figure.
He was not prepared for the words that came out of her mouth, "I need it to buy the Boosted Gear from the person using Innovate Clear in my territory."
Sirzechs was shocked and didn't know what to say to that. Not right away at least. Once his processed the shocking words his suspicions grew, "Are you sure it's the real deal?"
Rias nodded, "As sure as I can be." She explained the entire meeting with the character Azeez in his bazaar pocket dimension then finished with, "Sona scanned it and the potions. As far as we can tell, it's all legitimate."
Sirzechs tapped a finger on his desk. It all sounded a little too good to be true. On the other hand, Rias always had a ridiculous amount of good luck. Akeno, Yuuto, and Gasper were all examples of her luck in finding excellent people she could easily recruit into her peerage.
He supposed being born as his sister could count as good luck in the case of recruiting Koneko. It would be just like her to stumble upon a person new to the supernatural world who is completely unaware of just what it is he's selling.
His thoughts turned a little devious. Even if the Boosted Gear was a fake, somehow, giving the person selling the fake money would make tracking them down fairly easy. He could have Ajuka keep an eye on the deposits coming into the local banks and investigate anyone who makes a sufficiently large one.
A hundred million to potentially get two Longinus Class Sacred Gears into his precious Ria-tan's hands? Easy choice.
He focused back on Rias, his thoughts having only taken seconds, "Alright. How soon do you need the money?"
"As soon as possible! Thank you Onii-chan."
Ryuji stared in shock as he watched Rias hand over one hundred million yen for the replica Boosted Gear.
Seeing her sheer excitement over it actually made him feel fairly guilty. He'd bought a magical replica of the Boosted Gear to sit in the shop and make the place seem more legitimate while attracting attention. He'd placed a price on it because it was required to do so, but he'd thought a hundred million was a crazy high price...
Apparently not. Clearly he should have made the price even higher. It made the ninety thousand he got from Sona seem like peanuts.
But the guilt...
Fuck it. He needed the money and Azeez had said many times that it was just a display item! It's her fault... Yeah, he couldn't even convince himself to believe that, let alone anyone else. The devils were about to be super pissed off with him and he had no idea what to do about it.
Thank god he was still anonymous and no one had any idea that the scenarios were all his doing. He almost felt sorry for whoever had Innovate Clear out in the world because they were going to be hunted down for what he'd done.
Despite his guilt, he was keeping the money. He would have been ecstatic with just Sona's purchase. The Least tier of potions only cost him mana to create, so selling them was essentially free money.
With that cash infusion, he'd planned to make Lesser potions and do some research. Now, thanks to Rias, he had a massive influx of funds and he planned to spend a large portion on potion research.
He watched the girls leaving Azeez's place and closed the scenario down. He had a feeling poor Azeez was in for a bad time the next time he opened that particular scenario. At least the poor guy could easily be re-spawned.
Looking at all the money in his inventory, Ryuji smirked and started to use it to buy every Tier 1 potion ingredient that was available. They were cheap so he bought in bulk. He knew the recipes for the Lesser health, mana, and stamina potions so he bought extra of those ingredients.
If he could sell the Least versions for ten thousand, he could probably sell the twice as effective Lesser potions for significantly more.
Things were looking good!
Ryuji decided that he really, REALLY, needed to stop thinking things were going to be alright every time something happened. He wasn't always wrong, but when he was...
