467 Episode 458: The daily life of the city with the residence of Count Elvis. (Chatter between Taylor and Jen Wang. ）

I was listening to Taylor explain. King Jen shrugs as he tilts his neck.

"I don't know what that means..."

"It's a pretty painful technically, isn't it?

Well, I'm not talking about recent years.

That was about 50 years ago.

"You didn't resurrect me?

"Looks like he was going to pull out to another country, but...

Couldn't you have said, 'The engraving workshop over here has been wiped out'?

I guess I couldn't offer good terms for that.

It would be relatively cheaper to keep the purchase price of gems low and incorporate gems if you were to offer such a large amount.

Magic engraving is no match for gems. It's cheap, but... "

"That's a hassle.

"Absolutely.

Hmm? It was on the slip that Master Kitamizato's luggage was coming, but you bought the sword.

Taylor checks his luggage and says as he holds the knife.

"... Taylor, will you pull that sword out of your sheath?

King Jen feels something and asks Taylor.

"Take Kitamizato's on your own?

"Take responsibility for me.

I'm not going to cut it or anything. Pull me out of my sheath and show me.

"I get it.

Taylor pulls the knife out of his sheath.

Both Taylor and Jen Wang look at themselves without saying a word.

"Hmm... Taylor, what do you think?

"Thin in body, slightly shorter in length, and even a single blade...

If it's just the sword thing, is it down there?

But are you strengthening it... inside if it's going to be magic equipment?

Taylor lays a cloth on the floor that was nearby, and when he places his sword in care, he takes the pattern from the knife.

"Huh?... magic engraving?

Inside the pattern was engraved on the body and one small gem attached.

"Hmm. There's just a small gem and an engraving, from the top below to the inside... two steps up?

Nio mutters as he arms up.

"Are you strengthening the whole sword at this size... hmm..."

Taylor also bothers by putting his arms together.

"Can Taylor do the same thing, by the way?

"You can do it.

I was just wondering if I'd have to use something bigger two times after the gem?

"I see.

The workshop that built this is good, isn't it?

"Right... it was the Steno Workshop that made it?

"Hmm? You're with the little gun.

Taylor thinks without saying anything as he wrinkles between his eyebrows at King Jen's words.

King Jen said, "I see. I was convinced."

"Come back."

Taylor was sending men out at the entrance.

Close the store door and Taylor comes back to the counter.

"You've been buying things for a long time.

Is that the Knights?

Sigh as King Jen sits on the edge of the counter.

"Right.

That's... that's coming out fast. Just make sure you don't find it, okay?

"Taylor, I know.

"Yes... and there are a lot of knives coming in these days.

Says Taylor as he tilts his neck.

"Is that knife specially made?

"No... there's no ordinary additions. It's just a knife...

It's not a product you come to buy from a store that deals in magic, is it?

"And you can sell it?

"Right.

Three last week, two this week... you bought the same thing.

I don't think knives wear out much, unlike swords.

"... that knife really adds nothing?

"I don't think so. It's just a knife... more to the point. Inside if you look at it as a weapon.

I wonder why you're buying ours?

"Hmm... what kind of stuff is that?

"That's a single-edged knife.

Yeah, well, it's the same thing Kitamizato bought.

"Isn't that..."

"Hmm? Because Master Kitamizato uses it?

"Uhm.

People will tend to envy those who are growing up or succeeding, right?

If so, wouldn't you have wanted to be born with the same gear as Takeo, who has suddenly appeared in the corner of his head these days?

"I was wondering if I'd be born about the same weapon?

Answer as Taylor tilts his head.

"That's why I want to do it.

Of course I work hard on my own, but I need luck to be born.

Didn't you want to get your own luck by having the same thing as someone who's been successful?

"Is that what it is?

I don't know, though.

"Hmm, Taylor is a genius, but not yet as a customer business.

You should talk to Takeo when he gets back.

"I don't know about having it to use someone else's weapon to get my own luck... but I don't think it's very good.

I don't think Kitamizato would do that, though?

"Well... Takeo would be willing to talk to me.

"Really?

"Takeo will be available for consultation.

Besides, aren't you that focused on weapons?

I think I'd rather have the idea of selling when I can.

"You don't feel like you owe someone else's authority.

"Isn't that what business is all about?

King Jen asks with his neck tilted.

"There 'll be aspects to that, but...

I think it's basic to buy all the stuff that belongs to that person, right?

"Hmm... I guess that's why it's a knife.

"... I see. It's only spare equipment, so why don't you buy it?

Taylor nods.

"Either way, you're going to sell in the future.

"Absolutely.

Perhaps it is also a problem that the current seller is this.

Taylor laughs bitterly.

"Hmm... and the magicians here aren't buying much from this store, are they?

Taylor says you have a good product, right?

"Well, I guess there's an ancient familiar store for every platoon for generations.

I guess I can hardly change the store.

"Conne.

"I wouldn't even say Conne... but it's easier to find out about the store, right?

"Well... that's pretty hard stuff.

"Right.

Oh, there you are.

Taylor started responding to visitors.

King Jen was hiding himself the moment the guests opened the door.
