Chapter 38-: Let's make a weapon
( TL By GUST )
Finalizing Arios' request has greatly enriched my bosom.
I had some time to spare, so I decided to equip it.
Visit the best armour shop in town.
"……welcome"
The unfriendly voice of the owner of the store welcomes us.
The owner of the store was an elderly man who felt stubborn.
He is as short as a child and has a chunky body.
It's a local people.
A race very similar to humans, he specializes in blacksmithing.
Another name is a dwarf.
"I'm sorry. I'm looking for weapons and armour..."
"... Is your eyes a knot hole? Armour is lined up all over the place? Choose the one you like."
"Oh, oh. I see."
I wanted the shop owner to choose a recommendation, but I can't even talk.
"... Nya, you're a stubborn grandfather."
"The local people are all eccentric."
When Kanade and Tania are saying this and that ...
The shopkeeper glanced at me.
Maybe you can hear it?
It's a terrifying hellish ear.
I stopped their mouths and was careful not to say anything more.
"Rain. How about a weapon like this?"
Sora brought a dagger.
"It looks pretty good. It doesn't look bad."
"Isn't it?"
"Hmm, just ..."
"However?"
"What should I say? I can't put it into words, but I feel something different."
"Isn't it?"
"I'm sorry I can't put it into words well. It doesn't come nicely."
"Is that so ... sorry."
"I'm glad you did your best to find it for me. Thank you."
"No. That's so natural. I just fulfilled my mission as a familiar."
"Rain, Rain"
This time, Luna brought a whip.
"How about this?"
"Luna? Rain can't handle the whip?"
"But isn't the tamer a whip? Now you're going to be a familiar!"
"Huh, it's filthy."
"Hmm, what did you imagine? It's a whip and you have a strange imagination ... Sora is moody. Kuhahaha."
"Luna"
"It's a strategic withdrawal!"
Sisters who start chasing after making noise.
I hope I won't be kicked out ...
I glanced at the shop owner, but he didn't seem to be interested in it.
I was quietly reading a book with a boring look.
Why aren't you so motivated?
I'm curious ...
Even if you ask, they won't answer.
"Will you choose your armour early before you are kicked out?"
Look around the shelves where the armour is lined up.
I mainly deal with daggers.
Beast tamers are often weak, so such light equipment is their main weapon.
Now that I have a contract with Kanade, I could equip a big sword instead of a longsword ...
They have never been used properly.
Even if you purchase it because you can equip it, you will not be able to handle it well, and there is a high possibility that it will become a treasure.
After all, the familiar dagger is probably the best.
With that in mind, I move to the shelves where the daggers are lined up ...
"Hmm"
The owner here is probably quite good at it.
Every weapon looks shining.
But ... is it because of me that it looks like it's just shining?
It only looks good and has no contents.
I got such an impression.
"Oh, I'll disturb you!"
A big man who seems to be an adventurer came to the store.
There are scars on the face and arms, and it looks like it really is.
It may be a strong man who has survived the battle.
"Are you the owner?"
"... Umu"
"I came here after being introduced to an adventurer I knew. You can find the perfect armour for me at this store."
"Hmm ... Did you get introduced to an acquaintance?"
"Do you have a longsword? Give me the finest money, no matter how much money you have."
"Is it money ... well. Hmm ... how about this?"
The shopkeeper gave the big man a swinging sword.
The big man pulls out the sword from the scabbard and checks the blade.
"Well ... it's a good glow. It's a sword that seems to cut well."
"It's also very durable. Even if you handle it roughly, it won't hurt you. If that's the case, you might be satisfied."
"Okay, I like it! Let's get this one"
"... Maido"
The big man leaves the store with great joy.
Seeing that, Kanade softly listened.
"Nya ... Is that uncle a nice person? If you ask, will he answer properly?"
"I don't know ... it's a little strange now."
"Nyan?"
Walk up to the shop owner and call out.
"I'm sorry. I have something to ask about the sword I sold to a man ..."
"... What?"
"Maybe I'm rude, but ... maybe the current sword isn't a big deal?"
The sudden remarks made everyone surprised.
However……
The shopkeeper looked interesting, as if he was interested in it.
"Hmm ... I heard that I sold Namakura to customers? Do you want to say that?"
"No. I don't call it Namakura ... I think there was a better sword at this store."
"Why do you think so?"
"It's just a hunch ... The weapons in this store are shining very well, but I feel like that. It's perfect for ornamental purposes, but when used in actual battles. I feel unsatisfactory when it comes to it. "
"... Boy, you have a lot of eyes to see. That's the correct answer."
"That means ...?"
"I sold it to that man, it's just a mass-produced product that can be made in one hand. It's moderately slashed and sturdy, but ... it's just a sword. It's different from the one. It's far from being a business. "
Why did you sell such a sword?
I don't think I'm receiving exorbitant money, so I don't think it's for fraudulent purposes ...
To answer my question, the shopkeeper grins like when a child played a prank.
"Well, it's a little mean old man."
"Are you mean?"
"Recently, there are only customers who let money talk and get weapons that do not suit their level. The previous customer also has money in the second word. I'm getting stupid. I'm an armour craftsman. All of my works are like my children. I want them to be treated by the appropriate users and be happy. Is it selfish? "
"I understand that feeling! I guarantee that my uncle is right and not wrong!"
Surprisingly, Tania agreed with the owner.
Was there something that people with high pride could communicate with each other?
"Hey, Miss. I don't understand the story."
"You have good guts for humans."
"Yeah? That way of saying ... Oh. If you look closely, is the lady a dragon tribe?"
"Oh, aren't you surprised?"
