Gumiho Bead の小説・ストーリー

The next morning, Jamie woke up and did as the old woman asked. She looked into the embers of the fire and saw a bead the size of a large marble. It was completely black, but when held up to the light, intricate spirals of oranges, yellows, purples, and reds could be seen. There were also two holes going through the middle, so a string or chain could be put on it.

muttered Hoyt as he stared at the carnage that Gerald had left behind, too nervous to even speak anymore. Both Hoyt’s hands now trembling violently, he watched as Gerald extended his own hand to take the bead off him. “So… This is the Thunderstorm Formation?” asked Gerald as he carefully observed the bead. True enough, Gerald was able to sense a small formation contained within the bead. “T-that’s right!” replied Hoyt as he nodded like an idiot. Following that, both Hoyt and Master Ghost’s eyes widened as Gerald tossed the bead up into the air… instantly triggering the formation!

She stopped beside Jai and bent down a bit. Jai took the bracelet and swiped lightly on the beads, feeling cool sensation on the smooth rocks. There are only three square beads on it that looked like it was made of jade, but they’re very smooth. When he touched them, it somehow felt like something was pouring into him, something that makes him relaxed. “Hmm… Alright, I’ll take it.” Jai took out his wallet from his bag, apologizing to Shoru for making her uncomfortable. “Good choice!” They went to register and Jai asked his questions then. “Hey, does the Komatsu come here often?” He asked.

“I… I came.” She didn’t have to explain who “I” included; the stone knew, the wind knew, and the small circle of family behind them understood without comment. Her fingers found the beads at her throat, and she rolled them between thumb and forefinger—blue glass, worn smooth by years of skin and time. She had learned to make those beads with her grandmother’s rough, patient hands when she was young; they had been the thing that marked her as Morau’s child before any title the world gave her. Every time she wore them, the world felt a little more anchored.

How difficult to replicate without the exact training Mami Lulu had given me. I selected seven beads—all variations on the blue-green spiral—and carried them back to the cabin. At my worktable by the eastern window, I arranged my metalworking tools and began incorporating the beads into a necklace design. The silver wire bent easily beneath my fingers, forming an asymmetrical cascade that would hold the beads in a seemingly random pattern that was actually precisely calculated.

She discovered the other party's intention to take away the blood beads, so she put away the blood beads first. "Hand over the Pluto Beads." Although the two of them could speak the Huaxia language, they were awkward. If the people of Huaxia didn't listen carefully, they wouldn't know what the two Westerners were talking about. "It turns out that these beads are called Pluto Beads." Lao Hei picked up one, but he didn't see anything unusual. He asked, "You came to the East, killed the people, and got their blood. What's the use of these beads?"

As the name suggests, the bead was made of Black Stone, a material known for its hardness. “These two fit my criteria perfectly, I like them. So what price would you give for them, Manager Li?” Xiao Long chuckled. “Each has a value of 5 Million Gold, so 10 Million Gold for both. But since it's Young Master Xiao Long, I'll give you a 20% discount.” Manager Li said. “Looks like Manager Li thinks too highly of me.” Xiao Long said, 20% is not a small amount. Moreover, he was giving it to a young man with the cultivation level of Earth Foundation.

"250 mill—" However, before he could finish his words, Sebastian grabbed his elbow and whispered, "Listen to me, Mr. Hindon. The beads are fake."

The farmer carefully opened up his bag to produce a green bead the size of a fist. It was unclear what the green bead was made out of. It looked like jade, but not. It looked like a gem, but it was not. There was a shiny outer layer, but it had very low transparency. It looked like something made by a machine. It was unassuming. "Old man, what treasure is this? What can it do?" The Black Gorilla asked. "I don't know," The old man shook his head.

The item in question was a certain mysterious bead. The mysterious bead took up one of his accessory slots and he couldn't check its details. What was even weirder was that whenever he tried to unequip the bead, he kept getting the following message; [System Message: Item is soul-bound and cannot be unequipped.] This message kept bugging Kirou as he tried removing the bead. He had no idea how the bead followed him into the game or became an item. He wasn't even sure how it got him to another world in the first place.
