Chapter 39 - We Are Ready

"It was very easy. Watch this Kimi." I turned around to look at the shopkeeper. I waved my hand at the dwarf woman and said. "Sorry miss, can we ask for your help in choosing a weapon?"

"Sure, I'll be there soon."

"Big sis!" The little girl yelled at me. The tail stands tall and her sharp glare stabs me.

"Don't upset little pie. If we can't do something well, we'd better ask someone else who's an expert at that something. The work done by people who don't understand anything won't end well."

"Your sister was right, little girl. So tell me, what kind of weapon do you want?"

"Haa… well, I wanted to use a one-handed sword but I was too short. Therefore, I want a weapon similar to the one-handed sword that a little girl like me can use."

"All right, let's see..." replied the shopkeeper. Then, she approaches a rack filled with swords. It didn't take long for her to pick a weapon. "What about this?"

Kimi receives a sword from the shopkeeper. She tried to lift the sword and then swung it vertically.

Swosh!

"Ah!" The little girl screams and drops the sword as a trail of fire appears to follow the swing she made.

"Oh! I forgot to say that the sword has been imbued with fire element! I'm a sorry little girl."

"Ah! Okay, it's okay. I'm just shocked by it," Kimi replied. The little girl took the sword on the floor. Then, she looks at me while hugging that fire-imbued weapon. "Big sis! I want this sword!"

Seeing my lively sister look at me with sparkling eyes made a little giggle come out of my mouth. "What about the speech of the weapon must be suitable with its user?"

"This weapon suits me. I'm sure!"

"You sure huh... All right, that weapon is yours."

"Yay~"

The cute little girl gets her weapon and she was happy. A smile blooms on her adorable face.

Bleed Fair and Red Line have a total price of forty-seven silver coins. Twenty-one silver for the Bleed Fair and twenty-six silver for the Red Line.

Yup! Weapons are expensive. In the blink of an eye, they took almost half of my savings. Ugh! With this, I have to be careful with the money when I buy other supplies.

Our shopping isn't over yet. Kimi and I went deeper into the store. The next piece of equipment we're looking for was armor.

Our levels are low. Therefore, we have to be satisfied with Leather Armor or Light Armor. Plate Armor or Full Plate Armor is too heavy for us to use. They're also out of our reach because they're expensive.

I was envious when I saw a male adventurer buy a gray Full Plate Armor.

That armor is so cool!

For some time, we looked around the shelves and wooden boxes containing dozens of pieces of armor. Where is the armor we looking for?

"um... um..."

"Found something, Kimi?"

I walked up to Kimi who look at dozens of Leather Armor hanging neatly. Leather Armor in there is Common-grade Equipment, they are suitable for Newbie Adventurers like us. I'm pretty sure of my assessor because some of the leather armor that was there appeared on Ark Fantasy Online.

"Big sis, what do you think of this leather armor?"

"Rock Lizard Leather Armor..."

That was a good quality Leather Armor for a Newbie Player. And wow! The price is so cheap. A quarter of the normal price in Ark Fantasy Online.

"Do you like it, Kimi?"

"That's right. This leather armor was quite pretty."

"Pretty?"

Kimi nodded to answer my question. The little girl then looked at me with her sparkling eyes. There's no doubt that she wants this Leather Armor.

"All right, we'll buy it. And... it looks like we should ask the shopkeeper if they have armor with suitable size for you."

"Okay."

We approached the cashier and asked the shopkeeper. Luckily, they have Rock Lizard Leather Armor with a suitable size for Kimi.

And in the end, we bought two sets of Rock Lizard Leather Armor with the same design. Not to forget, we also buy gloves and boots that are also made of leather, they are black.

Two daggers also entered our shopping cart. They will be used as backup weapons and tools to process the Monsters we hunt.

"Which leather bag would you choose?"

"I like this one."

"Then take it. It will be yours."

"Yay!"

This little girl... she likes shopping and... I'm too.

I love shopping.

After buying two large leather bags and a belt, we bought three small leather bags that can be worn on the belt. Two for me and one for Kimi.

The leather bag became the last item we bought in this store. In the end, I spent eighty-seven silver coins to buy all that stuff.

Kimi is a cute Adventurer as she puts on all her pieces of equipment. She tried to look fierce but her efforts were unsuccessful.

"What are we going to do next?"

"We need medicines and first aid kits. Therefore, let's visit the drugstore! And incidentally, I know the right drugstore to visit."

I guided Kimi and we traced the streets of Rishtonbell. Our destination was Zen Pharmacy. The store is famous for having various supplies of medicines and potions. And the main appeal of the store is their affordable price.

Time passes…

We finally got to our destination. In front of us stood a three-story wooden building. The first floor of the building is filled with customers, shop employees, and of course their merchandise.

I don't know in this world, but inside Ark Fantasy Online, the second floor of Zen Pharmacy is a place for medicine. While the third floor is a special place to see the famous doctors who work there.

"We're going shopping at this store?"

"Yes, is there a problem?"

"I don't think we should have come to this store."

"Why? Many adventurers visit this shop. We don't have to feel out of place. Let's go in."

I took Kimi's hand and pulled her into the store. We walked past customers, wooden boxes, and merchandise. Our goal is a long table in front of a large cabinet that has dozens of drawers.

Some shop employees are busy serving customers. So I approached the available store clerks.

"Welcome to Zen Pharmacy miss, can I help you?"

"Yes, I would like to purchase two sets of first aid kits for Newbie Adventurer. And, can I know how much a bottle of Basic Potion?"

"One silver coin for one Basic Potion. How many bottles do you need? I'll prepare it with your previous order."

"I need four bottles."

"I understand, please wait a minute."

A few minutes later, the store clerk came back with the stuff I wanted. I hand over five silver coins for the items I wanted and with that, our preparations were complete.

Surprisingly enough, I got statistical bonus points when using the Bleed Fair and Rock Lizard Leather Armor.

Bleed Fair gave six points on the STR while a set of rock Lizard Leather Armor gave twelve points on the end. Unfortunately, when I used the two types of equipment, my AGI was reduced by two points.
