Chapter 25 – Magic training will happen.
Nahida traveled a few hours and arrived in Tokyo. He will enjoy his "vacation" a lot. He had never been able to travel to Tokyo with so much money in his wallet.
"Speaking of which, I'd better open a new bank account to put all my money. Carrying around that much cash is..." The big problem was that even today, many stores in Japan do not accept credit or debit cards.
Of course, some places accept credit cards, but usually, you would use cash. Most people pay with cash only. Nahida could deposit the money and withdraw it when needed.
But before doing that, Nahida headed towards Akihabara, where there were many electronics stores to go after a power generator. However, even after many hours, he could not find anything.
But he already had a Plan B since he left his hotel.
He took his smartphone and, using the internet, opened a store website that sold what he wanted. It was a store specializing in solar energy. They only delivered to Tokyo or the more metropolitan areas of Japan. It was for this reason that he had gone to Tokyo.
He already had this plan in mind, but he even wanted to look around to see if he could find anything in the stores. It would be quicker that way.
"Right, I'll look for a hotel to stay in and ask them to deliver to the hotel address. They'll deliver in two days. I hope the box isn't big. But anyway, it will be a lot of boxes."
Because, in addition to the generator, he needed some solar panels.
Nahida found a hotel near central Tokyo and stayed. Nahida asked the receptionist if he could put the hotel's address, and he could.
Then, two days after his order was placed, the items he had bought finally arrived.

There were several boxes—a bigger box with a big solar power generator, plus several smaller boxes with some solar panels. The receptionist who received everything seemed incredulous about it.
"I'm sorry, but I can't store all this. That's why it was left here until you came back. But don't worry; no one touched anything."
"Don't worry, thank you very much." Nahida opened the boxes to make sure everything was right. Everything was there; he had to get these things to his hotel.
And the simplest way would be to pay for the transportation (usually done with trucks). It would take a few more days to get to his hotel, maybe two days.
But that was the only way.
Nahida looked for a service and hired a big truck to take everything to his hotel. The price was much higher than he expected, but he had enough. And after the truck took the boxes, Nahida was ready to return.
It had been a fun stay. He mostly walked around Akihabara and bought a lot of manga and figures to put in his room. But he didn't buy any erotic figures.
Nahida took his backpack with clothes and all the items he had bought and walked towards the station to use the bullet train.
He was quite eager to visit Rimuru's world again. He had finally decided:
He was going to raise his level.

Nahida arrived at his hotel a few hours later. He had stayed 4 days in Tokyo. However, he only remembered something important when he arrived at his hotel and saw the dust all over the floor.
He had forgotten to let Shirou know he was traveling.
"Damn..." But Nahida could do nothing but smile bitterly. "Lucky, I'm back," Nahida shouted for Lucky, and he appeared a few seconds later. He was, as usual, in his chef outfit.
"Welcome back!"
"So, do you know if Shirou came here while I was gone?"
"The boy who is working here? He came the same day you left."
"And what did you do?"
"I used the spare key to open the door and told him you had traveled."
"I see. You did well." Nahida praised Lucky, and he was happy like a child despite having an appearance of an older man than Nahida. "Now I'm going to shower; I'm tired from the trip."
Although it was only a few hours, traveling by train was tiring.
Nahida took a hot bath and drifted off to sleep for a few hours until Lucky woke him up. It was night, but someone was looking for him. And it wasn't a customer.
"What is it, Rimuru? I'm tired, you know. I was in Tokyo after your power generator."
"Really?!" Rimuru shouted excitedly. "And you got it?" His eyes were shining.
"Everything will arrive on a truck in two days, I think. When everything has arrived, I'll give it to you. But I can't go to your world without someone opening the door, so it would be nice if you came here to pick it up." Nahida scratched his head.
"Right, I'll do that."
"So, why are you here?" Rimuru and Nahida sat down at one of the tables. Nahida crossed his arms; he was wearing a tired expression.
"Don't you remember what you asked? For me to teach you magic."
"And are you really going to do that? I thought you had even forgotten about it."
"I still remember. I found a way to help you so you don't have to worry."
"That's good. I'm quite anxious. But I need to tell you something before we start training..." Nahida told Rimuru about the level system he had received. It was a basic system.
At least for now.
"A level system like an RPG? Interesting." Rimuru was quite excited to hear about Nahida's system. "That's it. I'll help you with that."
"Are you sure?"
"Of course. But we'll only do this when my power generator arrives; I don't want you not to be here when they deliver the generator."
"Sure... Sure... I'll be looking forward to it. Oh, and before you leave, do you want to see what I bought?"
"You bought many interesting things while you were in Tokyo, didn't you?" Rimuru gave a smug.
"I didn't buy anything erotic, but I did buy some nice things. Come to my room so I can show you."
