Back

　As I was thinking of something out of character to make Gilmas gasp, Ms. Eltina came back.

Here is the price of the magic stone, 5,300,000 elt, and the map of the store. Please take a look.

　Eltina doesn't even smile at me. It's a little sad. But 5.3 million. That's a lot of money. I'm surprised that I was told that magic stones alone don't bring in that much money. It would be even more if we had the materials.

　Five platinum coins and three gold coins. It's supposed to be a lot of money, but eight coins don't seem like much to me. I also checked the map and found that all the stores I had asked for were marked on it, starting from the Adventurers' Guild. He seems to be the type who does his job well.

"Indeed. Thank you very much."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"No, this way, then."

　There was no conversation, and it was as if they wanted us to leave the Adventurers' Guild as soon as possible. When I went out to the reception desk, all eyes were on me again, and the whispering started. I'm kind of a popular guy. I thank Ertina and leave the guild.

"Hmmm. You're going to surprise them. I'm looking forward to it.

　Sylphy's in a good mood. She's starting to have some fun. Come to think of it, when we first met, she seemed to think it would be fun, so I guess she doesn't mind. In a way, she's consistent.

"Yuta. Buy something?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

（Yeah, that's right. I'm going to go around now, so let me know if there's anything you want.)

"Oh, shopping!"

　Bell, who is excited, jumps around with Rain and the others. The discussion at the guild seemed to be boring. We set off on our shopping spree, careful not to stray too far.

　The map looks like armor. Ingredients. Seasonings, cooking utensils, clothes. Books. I think the order of furniture is better. Seasonings, cooking tools, and clothes seem to be in one place at the general store, so let's go there right away.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The armor shop shown on the map is near the Adventurers' Guild. Are they affiliated with the guild?　It smells like an adhesion.

（I'll buy some armor and stuff here first.)

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I say so, and Belle. RAIN. Tulu came charging in.

"I don't need armor!" "I have the armor of nature!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　There you go. But what about nature's armor?　I trust in their defenses, but walking through a labyrinthine city clad in rock, water, and wind is a little too much for me. We need ordinary armor.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I look at Belle and the others who are trying hard to appeal to me, and I wonder how to persuade them. By the way, Tamamo was not around when the magic was developed, so he doesn't seem to know what he's talking about. Maybe Tamamo will want to join us if we use nature's armor.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

(Nature's armor is a great armor to use when you fight against strong enemies, so you won't use it for everyday use in town or in places where enemies are relatively weak. What we are going to buy this time is the normal armor for daily use. Bells can wear natural armor over it, can't they?)

　The belles put their heads together and discuss something. After a few moments, they looked at me and nodded. It seems that permission has been granted. I guess it's all right as long as I have my natural armor on.

　Once inside the store, the walls are lined with weapons and armor, and it is exciting just to look at them. Swords. Swords are cool too. Hammers are powerful, but it's hard for me not to get excited about their appearance.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I'll buy a sword too.　I'm not likely to use it, but it looks kind of cool just to have it on my waist. I walk up to the shelf where the sword is displayed and pick it up. ...... It is heavy. I wonder how adventurers fight wielding such a sword.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"You like the sword?　The way you hold it, you look like an amateur.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Are you from the store?　I'm sorry. I've never used a sword before, but it looked so cool I had to touch it."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I looked at the man who spoke to me and saw a muscular, macho man. There are too many burly men in this world.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yeah, I'm Ax. I own this store. I'd say it's okay to look at it, but it's a weapon. If you're not used to handling it, don't touch it."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　You're absolutely right.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I'll do that. Just in time. You want light armor, what do you recommend?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"There are many kinds of light armor, but what kind do you want?　What's your budget?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Budget?　Let's see, what I have now is about 6 million for the magic stone and the betting profit. The rest is all Carl and the boys' money. Let's see, how much was in there. Let's check.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Three platinum coins. Two gold coins. Six silver coins, a large copper coin, and a copper coin. ...... That doesn't seem like a lot for five people selling off their savings and equipment. Karl said he's a C rank, right?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　With Gilmas, I have a feeling that he is being harassed somehow. Well, it's a little late for that. I should have checked with him right then and there. Was the harassment just a distraction?　...... Hmmm, you wouldn't do that, would you?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The total is about 9 million or so. ...... We'll have to buy a lot of things, but even though Sylphy and the others will protect us, we want to make sure we have the best armor. I'll put up about three million. Furniture, food, and lodging,...... six million should be enough to get us a good set.

"Can you get a complete set of lightweight items that won't impede movement for less than 3 million elts?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"You have a lot of money for an amateur. What about weapons?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I have weapons, so I'll be fine.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Hmm. Then go to ...... and wait a minute."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Do you have anything good?　Armor. It's very adventurous. I guess a necromancer would wear a robe, but I'm going to fight with a hammer, so armor is definitely the way to go.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　While I was killing time looking around the store, Mr. Ax came back with a large cloth bag.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"This is the one that fits your requirements. It is made of C grade Marshland Lizard leather. It comes with a complete set of leather armor, gloves, regalia, and cloak. Fireproof and good stuff."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Marsh lizard?　I'm not sure, but it is greenish-gray in color, with a hint of green in the gray. It's cool, but not flashy.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I'm a little tempted by the idea of a big guy in flashy armor. I'm torn. What's that?　Come to think of it, I was going to ask the Adventurers Guild to protect me from the troublesome chokkai if I became famous, but I guess I can't ......?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But I don't want to bow down to that Guilmouth, so I don't know what to do. I guess I should just move myself to a place that refuses to be messed with by ....... If I become famous, I can make my own conditions. I've thought about it before, but there's no need to ask for protection.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I'll go with this plain leather armor for now. I'll get used to flashier armor when I'm more familiar with this world. I don't know if the armor is good or bad, so I'll trust Mr. Axe.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"This will do."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Okay. I'll adjust it and you can wear it."

".................."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"What's wrong?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Mr. Axe approached me as I stood frozen in my leather armor. Hearing is a temporary shame, not hearing is a lifetime shame. Right?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I don't know how to put on armor."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"You. Aren't you an adventurer?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I became an adventurer yesterday.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Did you take a beginner's class?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I just found out there is a beginner's course."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"...... I'm an arms dealer, but you'd better take a course and come back."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Ha-ha. I should probably do that, but, well, there's a lot going on, and I like this armor, so I'm going to buy it."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I wish I could have gotten into a fight with Guilmouth after the class. You want to sign up for the beginners course ......?　I'm afraid they're going to hate this thing.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"If you're going to buy it, I'm not going to complain, but are you sure you want to do it?　Even with good armor, it's easy to die if you don't know what you're doing."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　You're a good man, Mr. Ax. He looks scary.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes, I'll study. I'll be fine."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He was a little reluctant, but he showed me how to put on the equipment. He said it would only take a few adjustments, so I decided to wait here while he made the adjustments.

(Hey, Sylphy. Do you know the basics of being an adventurer?)

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Hmmm. I think I know some things about adventurers, but I don't know the basics. I've never really paid attention."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

（I see. Thank you.)

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I guess I should sign up for a beginner's class after all. I feel like I can go by force, but if I don't know the unspoken rules, I might get frowned upon in some weird places. The problem is that the application may be rejected. After all the shopping is done, I'll stop by the guild and check.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　While I was waiting and thinking, Mr. Ax came back soon. I put on the armor he adjusted for me, checking the procedure again. Yes, it fits me perfectly. Mr. Ax is a very talented guy.

Thank you very much.

"Oh. Take good care of it. Study hard.

Ha-ha-ha, I'll take care of both of them.

　I bought a set of leather armor and three pieces of sturdy clothing for adventurers to wear under the armor. At 10,000 ...... a piece, I'm not sure if they are expensive or cheap.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I was allowed to change my clothes and put on the leather armor. I must have looked like a great adventurer. My pants are Japanese trunks, though.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　We leave the store and start walking to get some food. I'm going to buy a lot of food, but it would be more convenient to have some ingredients if I'm going to arrange them into Japanese dishes.

　Walking through the labyrinth city in a good mood while being praised by Bell and his friends. It's easy not to attract attention when you're dressed comfortably.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　We proceed to the stalls that Belle and the others are interested in, buying skewers and bread. The rough sandwiches with large chunks of meat sandwiched between bread are very tempting. I'm not sure if I can bite through it, but I'm looking forward to eating it.　

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Soup is also available, but I was told that the bowls must be returned, so I decided to pass on it this time. It would be better to get a lot of dishes and pots and have them cooked at a good restaurant.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yuta. When do you want some bread?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Rain, Tulu, and Tamamo gather around my face, as if they want to know too, when Belle asks me a question. It's hard to see in front of me. It looks like drool is dripping from the mouths of Belle and the others, but I can't let them eat here, can I?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

（Hmmm. Maybe after I'm done with my errands. Let's go back to the inn and eat without being seen. Can you stand it?)

　He looks a little disappointed, but he's willing to put up with it. I'm so happy to see them. I want to pet them all over, but I'll have to hold back because I'll be in pantomime all by myself in the town. Instead, I praise them in a whisper.

　It's fun to walk around the labyrinthine city together, but it's a hassle to be careful of our surroundings. It would be fun if I could just open up, but it's hard to be hated by the Adventurers' Guild and treated like a crazy person by the people in the labyrinth city.
