Completing Arios' request moistened my nostalgia a lot.
I had some leeway, so I decided to gear up.
Take a trip to an armoury store called The Best in the City.
"... Welcome"
The owner's heartless voice greets us.
The owner of the shop was an old man who felt stubborn.
He is as low as a child and in a sluggish shape.
Groundlings.
He is a race very similar to humans and specializes in blacksmiths.
Also known as Dwarf.
"I'm sorry. I'm looking for weapons and protective equipment..."
"... is your eye a pit? That's where the weapons are lined up, isn't it? Pick something you like."
"Ah, oh. Okay."
I wanted the store owner to pick a recommendation, but I can't even talk to him.
"... you look like a stubborn grandfather"
"Grounders are just bigots."
When Canade and Tania say this...
The store owner saw this one with Chirali.
Could you hear me?
Terrible hell ears.
I stopped the two of them talking and cautioned them not to say anything more unnecessary.
"Rain. How about weapons like this?
Sora brought a dagger.
"That sounds so good. Doesn't seem like a bad cut."
"Isn't it?
"Um, it's just..."
"Just?"
"What can I say? I can't really put it into words, but I think it's different."
"No, is it?
"I'm sorry you can't put it into words well. I'm not coming."
"Really... too bad"
"For me, I'm glad you did your best to find me. Thanks."
"No. That's about it, of course. I just fulfilled my mission as a demon."
"Rain, Rain"
Now Luna brought the whip.
"How about this?
"Luna? Rain can't handle whips, can he?
"But isn't it a whip when it comes to Tamer? Now you're going to play the devil that doesn't listen to you!
"Phew, it's filthy."
"Huh, what did you imagine? I can't believe it's just a whip, and I can't imagine it being weird... Sora is so obnoxious. Kuhaha."
"Luna."
"It's a strategic retreat!
Sisters who start chasing after each other in a fuss.
I hope they don't kick me out...
I look at the owner of the store, but there is no indication of interest here.
He was quietly reading the book, looking bored.
How can you not be willing to go that far?
I'm curious...
You won't answer me if I ask.
"Before they kick you out, will you choose your weapon soon"
Look around at the shelves lined with weapons.
I deal mainly with daggers.
Beast Tamer is often unarmed, so such light gear becomes the main weapon.
Now that I'm under contract with Canade, instead of a long sword, I'll be able to equip myself with a big sword...
They have never been used properly.
Even if you buy it because it can be equipped, it will not handle it well and will likely become a treasure possession and rot.
Again, the dagger I'm used to using would be the best.
Think of it that way and move in front of the shelves where the daggers are arranged...
"Hmm."
The shopkeeper here must be quite skilled.
Every weapon looks radiant.
But...... is it my fault you just look radiant?
It only looks good and has no contents.
I got that impression.
"Ugh, I'll get in the way!
Looks like an adventurer, a big man came to the store.
I have scars on my face and arms, and have the appearance that it feels like anything.
He could be the mighty man who screwed up the war.
"Are you the owner?
"... um"
"I came here because I was introduced to an adventurer I knew. This store will find the perfect weapon for me."
"Well... did someone I know introduce you to"
"Do you keep your long sword? Give me the finest."
"Money... okay. Hmm... I don't know about this."
The shopkeeper gave the big man a wielding sword.
The big man pulls his sword out of his sheath and confirms himself.
"Well...... that's a good glow. It's a sword that's going to cut off."
"It also has great endurance. You won't get one scratch if you treat me like a brute. Wouldn't that satisfy you, too?
"Okay, I like it! Let's get this guy."
"... maido"
The big man leaves the store with a ladder.
Seeing that, Canade has been softly earringing.
"Nyah... is that uncle a bit of a nice guy? If I ask, will you give me a proper answer?
"I don't know...... more than that, that's kinda weird right now"
"Nha?
Walk over to the store owner and speak up.
"I'm sorry. Now I want to ask you something about the sword you sold to a man..."
"... what?
"I may be rude... but maybe the sword now, it's a no big deal substitute?
I saw everyone's surprised face at the sudden remarks.
It's just...
The store owner looked somewhere interesting, as he was interested in this one.
"Well... did Non sell Namakura to customers? Is that what you're trying to say?
"No. I wouldn't even say Namakura... wouldn't this store have had a better sword?
"What makes you think that?
"It just makes me wonder... the weapons I keep in this store shine very well, but that's all I feel. It's perfect for viewing, but I don't think it's enough when I use it in action."
"... kid, you have a lot of eyes to see. Correct."
"Does that mean...?
"What I sold that guy was just a mass-produced product that could be made in one piece. Slashed and sturdy enough... but that's not all a sword is. I can say it's quite something, but it's not like a soulful one. It's a long way from a trade."
How could you sell a sword like that?
I don't think it's fraudulent because I'm not receiving extrajudicial money...
To answer my question, the shopkeeper laughs, like when the kid plays tricks.
"Nah, a little mean of an old man."
"Mean?"
"Recently, I've had a lot of customers say things to money and get weapons that don't fit their level. Earlier customers, too, had money in the second word, when. While we're dealing with those people, it's starting to sound silly. Non is a martial arts artisan. The works of Non are all like children of Non. Isn't it Wagamama who wants the right users to treat you and be happy?
"I know how that feels! I can assure you that Grandma's right, I'm not wrong!
Unexpectedly, Tania agreed with the store owner.
Was there anything that would pass between those with high pride?
"Ho, miss. You know what I mean."
"You're a good gut for a human being."
"Yeah? The way you put it...... oh. If you look closely, are you a dragon tribe?"
"Oh, you're not surprised?
"At this age. It's not the first time we've met the most powerful species."
"Hmm, you have the guts. Fine. I like it more and more."
Strange intimacy was emerging.
"You're way out of line."
The store owner gave me my gaze back from Tania.
"Well, that's why they sell Namakura to people who are fooled by Namakura."
"You're gonna do something mean."
"Are you angry?
"No. He seemed satisfied. It wouldn't be a question of me putting my ass on."
"Hmm. You seem rather mean, too?
"Rayne's very kind, isn't he?
"But the night could be mean"
"Hey, night......!?
"Huh, what did my sister imagine? You're really upset."
"Enough of this development."
I missed the conversation again.
"By the way... how did you realize what you had here was Namakura? I don't know what you're talking about, but it's not easy to tell.
"Don't mean..."
What an ambiguous answer.
"It's a real hunch. If you insist, it might have something to do with me being BeastTamer."
"Wow, you're a beast taster. It's unusual to be in an unpopular position."
"I like it. Anyway... when you take a taste, you need to observe them carefully. If you're used to it, fine, but if you're the first person to see it, you need to observe it closely so that my words, my magic, can reach you. I also trained like that. So maybe the eyes that see things were naturally nourished."
"Hmmm...... haha, funny!
The shopkeeper laughed lavishly and slapped him on the knee.
"I like it. Your lord is a long-time customer! What kind of weapons are you looking for? Is that a sword or a spear? Axe?"
"And...?
"Anyone who spots Namakura and passes the test decides to sell real weapons. Genuine... I'll make it right away."
"Is that what you mean? Then ask for a dagger."
"Oh, leave it to me... I'm just trying to say"
"Nha?
"What's the matter with you? No way. I knew you wouldn't say anything, would you?
"Tania, I think it's too soon to draw a conclusion."
Something looks troubled and the shopkeeper says it.
Maybe there's something wrong.
He came to the same idea as me, and Luna tips her neck.
"What's the matter, shopkeeper? Is there a problem?
"Uhm, that's not..."
"Why don't we talk about it? We might be able to help."
"Hmm... right. Sooner or later, everyone in the city will know... that even if they want to build weapons, they don't have the ingredients."
As sincerely troubled, the shopkeeper spilled a loud sigh.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
