69 Tourism in a different world: Arms store





It's a little late for that, and I don't want to be the one to tell you this, but are you sure you want to follow us around all the time? You're supposed to be the enemy, you're supposed to be angry with me later.

 While walking through the hustle and bustle, I also became a part of the hustle and bustle and asked the brave man walking next to me.

...... That's really a bit late to be saying that. Well, that's just the way it is. I'm sure you're afraid of what might happen to you if you're left alone, right? Then I just thought it would be better to follow along.

 Rude. I basically don't do anything unless she tries to come at me.

And for the record, I'm not from here, so I'm not that familiar with the city's geography, okay?

You know better than we do.

...... Well, I'm sure you do. So, where do you want to go?

I want to go to a weapons store and a bookstore. Where do you want to go, Leffi?

 Then I bent my head up.  

 Leffi climbs on my shoulder again, looks comfortable, and replies, folding her arms.

I want to go to a good place to eat. If there's a sweet shop, that's where I want to be.

"No, you were eating a lot of food in the morning.

Oh, you'd be wrong if you thought that would fill my stomach.

 Is that a good thing.

That's why. A restaurant, an armory and a bookstore.

Hmmm, okay. Okay, let's start with the armorer.

 Then I was brought to the city's arms store.

 The walls of the store are filled with weapons of all kinds, and cheap ones are sold in tars.
 There are several customers other than us, and the shopkeeper's eccentric personality catches a glimpse of us as we enter, but he immediately loses interest and goes back to polishing his weapon.

 Nice. It's a great vibe. I'm excited.
 I've been excited ever since I came to town.

 I'm no ordinary sword handler, but I wanted to see what kind of weapons we make.
 After all, researching someone else's work is an essential part of manufacturing. Without input, there is no output.
 As a creative demon king who makes weapons by myself, I always wanted to visit a weapon shop at least once.

...... has a pretty good selection.

This is a place that carries the knights' weapons as well. I was brought to this store once before when I came to town with a knight's expedition.

 It's a very good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.

 I'm a novice, so I don't know much about the quality of the weapons, but I have my own analytical skills, my family's treasure trove.
 The quality of the items on the wall is roughly B- to A+. Weapons in the tull range from E- to C+.

 ...... and, oh?

 I was casually looking at the items for sale when I saw a piece of jewelry and pulled it out of the tartar.

 The blade was rusty, the blade was missing in places, and the handle and hilt were rugged, making it a shoddy sword for anyone to see. .......

 The Sword of the Prehistoric Heroes: Long ago, an unknown hero took the sword to protect his people and slaughtered many powerful enemies. Now it has lost most of its power. Quality: Unmeasurable.

 Oh, oh, .......

 What a great one!

 That's not it! It's not like the "ancient mass" series in Monk's parlance! It's like your power comes back when you're successfully enhanced.

I'm not a fan of that. ......? Lord, I found something that looks good.

"Ah, ......

 I've been looking at the store and noticed a sword in my hand and said with interest.

 ...... That's it. I'll add that axe to the mix as a material when we rebuild it into a weapon. I was just thinking that that wasn't enough material to transform it into a big sword.
 We can't use only one material for weaponry training. If you let the magic flow, you can combine multiple materials into a single weapon.

 You'll need other materials, but if you're successful, you'll be able to create some serious karma.

 That's great, human. You understand the meaning of romance. I have to say, that's commendable.

All right, I'll buy it. Do you want something, Leffi? I'll buy it.

No, it's a novelty, but nothing special. You can buy me something to eat later.

"Hey, hey, I got it. Nell, is ...... Nell?

 I looked and saw the brave man staring and biting at a long sword hanging on the wall.

...... You have a fine weapon, don't you?

 There are only a few fine ones in the world that look like holy swords. It seems to be under some kind of inhibiting spell, though I can't get a detailed readout of its abilities with my analytical skills.

 ...... No, I'm not so sure. I'm sure you'll be able to find out more about this in the future. This pokey brat has one.

 Maybe it's not so great as it sounds.

"Huh? Oh, yeah, yeah, I know, but. No, I mean, you know, it's not like that, you know?



 Well, I see your point.

"It's nice to see, but I don't want to stay long. I've got other things to do.

Uh-huh, okay. Just a little bit more.

 I thought these things were more for men to be interested in and for women to be like "hmmm" and not that interesting. ...... Well, it sounds fun, so it's okay.
