Chapter 117 The Store Sells Things Like This?

The Store Sells Things Like This?

[Ace POV],

"All right, but how do we enter the village?"

"Since the setting looks like a plot type, then we'll follow it", I said.

"Did you just use a game term?" Emma asked.

"Yes"

"Fair enough, Please continue", she said as I turned to open my panel while I replied to her.

"Since we're here to solve the village problem, then we will do just that but first we have to mix in", I stated and continued; "The solution to that is very simple".

I paused after saying this before continuing.

"Since we don't have the costume to wear, we'll just have to buy one. "It's that simple," I remarked as Emma exclaimed in a strange voice alongside me.

Seeing this, I paused my actions in the store and turned to her, my head tilted to the side, and asked a question.

"What's the matter?" I inquired.

Without replying to me immediately, Emma asked a question of her own.

"Are you in the store right now?" she asked, to which I replied with a nod, leading her to ask another question.

"Does the store sell clothing? "Like 'normal' clothes?" She inquired in a peculiar tone, and I began to suspect what she was thinking.

"How many times have you gone to the store section?" I inquired as I continued my action at the store.

"Once," she replied, scratching the back of her head.

Her response was unexpected.

As I was about to speak, Emma interrupted me as she spoke first.

"It was around the time when the reward for surviving stage 1 were released," she explained.

Hearing this, I responded with a nod as I spoke.

"I also didn't expect the store to sell daily essentials as well as clothes. "I merely came across it by coincidence," I explained as Emma responded with a slight nod.

As soon as this happened, I closed my panel because I was finished with what I was doing, and a flash of light came before our sight, along with two new items in my hands.

One was male clothes and the other was female clothing.

Both outfits were medieval in style. Wool and leather were used as the materials. The pants and boots were made of leather, and apart from the gender variation in the attire, they were both long-sleeved shirts and pants.

Emma's pants were just a smidgeon tighter than mine.

Seeing this, I threw the female clothing to Emma and spoke to her when she caught it.

"Though the clothes are of greater quality than the people down, we can only make do with what I could find," I stated when Emma completed inspecting the cloth.

"How much did you pay for my set?" She inquired.

"50 bronze coins," I said, and before she could respond after hearing this, I spoke again.

"So don't wreck it too much since I plan to sell it back right after we finish the quest," I added as I watched Emma swallow the words she was about to say, and with a hmph, she went away from my side before heading to another spot.

Seeing this, I ignored her actions and began changing into the clothes I had brought.

...…

"Who would've thought that these types of clothes were comfy," Emma commented as she continued to examine herself, remarking on her attire multiple times.

"You have an odd taste," I remarked as I gazed at the village gate in the distance, which was getting closer by the second.

"You're the odd one," Emma retorted as I ignored her and examined the surroundings as I continued to make my way forward.

'From afar, it appears a little small,' I thought as I began to observe the cornfields around me, which were tall enough to reach my chest level.

Though I'm not familiar with the local economy, I could tell this community was relatively well-off just by looking at the fields.

There were a few people working in the fields right now, and they were whispering to each other as Emma and I approached the village gate.

Emma and I, on the other hand, ignored it since the field was not our focus and we were just passing by.

We wouldn't have taken this way of traveling slowly to the village if we didn't want to draw attention by dashing into the village and suddenly emerging in the eyes of ordinary people.

But besides giving us strange looks, no one on the field approached us and just stood there looking.

Except for one man. Instead of approaching us, he ran into the village. My guess is that he went to alert someone in charge of the community of our arrival.

In that case, it appears that we would still draw attention despite our clothing and unarmed status.

As I was thinking about these things, Emma and I got closer to the village entrance, where we noticed some people were already waiting for us.

Seeing this, I glanced at Emma, who softly nodded at me as we went on our way.

'It's about time we started our quest,' I thought as I fixed my gaze on an elderly man standing in front of a crowd by the gate.

I'm not sure why, but the air around the village seemed odd to me. The atmosphere wasn't awful, but it was strange, and glancing at the elderly man's flattering smile, which faded when he spotted our figure in the distance, I was certain of my assumption.

'I guess we'll just have to deal with it as it comes,' I thought as we moved closer to the village gate and the elderly man and the people there made their approach to us.

Emma and I stopped moving as we watched the individuals in front of us get closer.

The old man only spoke when they were a reasonable distance away from us.
