When I went to the park I was told about, I found a parent and child and a couple enjoying their meal.

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

Unusually for a park, it was fully equipped with tables and chairs, so we sat down at an available seat.

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

As we spread out the items we had purchased from the food stall, the father looked happy.

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

'Garga meat skewers, huh~?

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

Maybe he likes it?

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

""Bon appétit!""

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

He eats the skewer of garga meat with his sister, halving it with her.

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

It's been a while since I've had it, but it's delicious. I found a good restaurant. I've had it for a long time, but it's good.

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

He and his sister looked at each other and laughed at his father's words.

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

I was right to choose a stall where there were many villagers lined up.

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

Yes, it was a good choice. The meat was small, too.

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

The vegetable soup is also delicious.

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

It is fun to cook, but I also love to enjoy food prepared by others.

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

I'm glad to hear that your father is satisfied with his meal.

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

Oh, by the way, there's something that's been bothering me.

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

He glanced at his father.

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

'Hey, Dad, are those two okay?

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

Unlike usual, he was less cautious about them.

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

I couldn't quite put my finger on it.

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

When I looked at my father, I thought he looked flustered, but then he looked awkward.

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

When I looked at him curiously, his gaze began to wander.

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

'Ah~, those two can't betray me, so it's okay.

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

Hm?

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

Not betray you, but can't betray you?

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

I tilt my head and look at my father, but our gazes don't meet.

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

I stare at him and he glances at me.

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

'You were young, you didn't know the limits of alcohol.'

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

I have no idea what he means, so I stare at my sister and my father.

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

He looked at me and my sister.

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

We used to work together," he said. Well, we got drunk and got deep drunk and ...... those two guys did something a little bit shady to a guy I know and ...... they forgave me by letting me work for free. Maybe that's when they made that deal for some reason. Yeah. I was just drunk."

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

He was searching for the right words to explain, as if he was bound by some kind of contract.

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

"A contract that you can't betray him?"

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

He nodded at my words.

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

I thought it would be a good idea after I sobered up and cooled down, so I suggested that we break the contract or make a new one, but he said he was fine with that. It's not like I'm ordering you to do anything. I'm not in trouble, so I thought it'd be fine. ......"

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

What can I say?

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

I'm not sure I'd ever consider a contractually-binding relationship.

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

I didn't think it was a relationship bound by contract. ......

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

But I didn't get that vibe from you earlier.

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

I got the impression that they were really close.

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

I had completely forgotten about the contract until Ivy told me.

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

'Eh!　Really?"

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

'Oh, I just had the perception that those two were absolutely fine, and I completely forgot the reason why. Now that Ivy told me, I thought about why I trust them so much and remembered."

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

Dad lets out a sigh and hides his face with his hands.

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

A contract that prevents him from betraying me, huh?

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

That's a great binding, isn't it?

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

What did those two do?"

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

What did they do that would warrant such a contract?

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

I can't talk about it because I'm under contract, so don't ask them either, because I realized right then and there that all three of us are afraid of alcohol.

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

I'm very curious, but I can't seem to talk about it, so I don't have a choice.

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

I thought, "Didn't your master get mad at you?"

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

I can't believe he would sign a contract like that.

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

He's that master, right?"　He laughed when he heard the details of the contract. Well, I didn't have to tell anyone because of the contents of the contract.

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

Oh, that's right.

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

He is a master, isn't he?

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

Contracts are very enforceable, aren't they?"

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

Dad nodded at his sister's words.

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

Don't sign a contract so casually," he said, "or you'll regret it later. You will regret it later. Depending on the contents of the contract, your whole life may depend on it.

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

He was saying something very important, but he was not very convincing .......

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

This is advice from someone who has been there.

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

That would be very convincing.

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

My sister felt the same way and started to laugh.

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

She said, "Hahaha. After we finish eating, let's go look at clothes and shoes.

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

I guess so.

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

I looked at the desk.

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

There are four skewers of garga meat left.

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

I put them in my magic bag.

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

I ate six skewers.

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

I know you like meat, but aren't you eating too much?

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

I wonder if you are all right.

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

I feel heavy, as expected. But I haven't eaten in a while, and I can't stop.

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

My father likes garga meat skewers.

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

I think I'll stock up on some when we leave the village.

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

Now, shall we go look for clothes and shoes?

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

Yes, let's go, Sis. Let's go, sis.

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

We cleaned up after eating and left the park.

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

Ega had asked her for her recommendation, so we went to that place first.

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

It was close to the park, so we didn't have to walk too far.

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

This is the place. I heard this is the place to go for adventurers' shoes, clothes, and accessories.

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

The exterior of the shop was plain, and I had no idea what they were selling until I peeked inside.

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

Once inside the store, he found a wide selection of shoes, bags, hats, and other items.

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

I thought, "Let's get some shoes for the time being. Let's get your size and see what we can do for you.

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

The father approached the shopkeeper.

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

Welcome," the father said. I'm Rubeto, the owner of the store.

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

A man in his mid-thirties bows to us.

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

I'm sorry, but I need you to measure the size of her feet. I'm sorry, but I need you to measure her feet. Also, I would like to know what kind of shoes you recommend for my trip.

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

I understand. Is the trip going to be long?

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

Rubeto spoke to his father.

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

He thought for a moment and nodded.

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

We don't have much of a plan, but it's going to be a long trip, so I'd like a strong pair of shoes, please.

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

I understand.

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

'How about Ivy, too?　Are your shoes getting tight or anything?"

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

I took a few steps, conscious of my father's words.

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

Speaking of which, my pinky finger is definitely hitting the shoe.

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

I tie the laces back on and walk again.

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

The little toe is still hitting the shoe.

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

I guess I'd better buy new shoes.

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

My father notices the look on my face and asks Mr. Lubet to measure my size as well.

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

I think I can wear them a little longer.

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

If your shoes hurt your feet, you'll have a hard time traveling, so you'd better take care of that as soon as possible."

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

I nod, because my dad is right.

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

When I was traveling alone, I once broke the nail on my pinky toe by pushing myself too hard.

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

It was quite painful because even though I healed it a little with a degrading potion, it got worse when I put on my shoes.

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

So I try to find shoes only from cheap ones, but I don't overdo it.

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

I recommend these five pairs.

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

I looked at the shoes that Mr. Rubet recommended.

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

Three pairs for my sister and two pairs for me.

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

All of them have solid soles.

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

She said, "Sis, why don't you try them on?

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

It's important that they are comfortable, too."

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

My father and I told her to put on the shoes.

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

She puts them on, walks around in them, and looks a little surprised.

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

They are very comfortable. And they are light.

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

She seems to like them a lot and is excited to walk around in them.

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

Rubeto was also happy to see her.

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

I also looked at the shoes he recommended.

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

I took them in my hands and looked at the laces and the inside.

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

They sure are light," he says. Dad."

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

I hand them to him and he holds them in his hands, his eyes widening slightly.

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

They are clearly lighter than the shoes I have been wearing.

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

Why don't you get one too?　The lighter the better, the less tired you'll be, right?"

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

"Yes, I think so. This one is worth replacing.

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

But why are they so different in weight from the ones I had before?

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

Looking at the soles of the shoes, I noticed an elastic material.

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

I have never seen this material before.

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

At my words, Rubeto brought me a piece of the material used for the sole of the shoe.

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

It's a material that is dropped by the demons that appear in newly discovered caves," he said. It is a little difficult to process, but the craftsmen in this village have made excellent use of it.

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

It is more resilient than ever before.

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

Yes, it is!　Thanks to that, it has a reputation for being less tiring to walk on for long periods of time.

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

The material is so confident of its quality that it makes them speak a little louder.

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

The older sister is surprised at that.

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

Rubeto-san looked a little embarrassed when he saw her.

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

I'm sorry."

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

She laughs and shakes her head with her father at Mr. Rubeto's words.

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

He looks at the price of one of the two pairs of shoes and freezes a little.

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

It is almost 1.5 times the price of his usual shoes.

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

This is .......

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

'Okay, let's all buy a pair for the safety of our upcoming trip. Do you have any recommendations for mine?"

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

I look at my dad in a panic, but he chuckles at the look on his face.

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

It looks like he's decided.

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

He says, "Thank you. Thank you, father.

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

Me too, thank you.

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

"Thanks to you, too. Now, you have to choose your clothes, too, or I'll choose for you.

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

At her father's words, she and her sister hurriedly decided on clothes.

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

If I leave it to my father, there is a possibility that he will choose a lot of cute patterns.

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

Somehow, I managed to get my father to wait while my sister and I picked out the clothes.

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

As soon as we finished, Rubeto paid the bill.

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

Come to think of it, I hadn't heard how much the magic stone cost.

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

Because of the price of the shoes, it is possible that we came up quite a bit short.

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

I asked her, "Are you all right?　Can you make up the cost of the magic stone alone?"

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

I sold an extra one.

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

One more?

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

Does that mean you sold one high level magic stone?

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

What?

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

There are two pieces of clothing in the mix that my sister and I didn't choose.

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

Here's one: ......"

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

Cute, right?"

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

Cute indeed.

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

Though definitely not appropriate for the trip.

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

I glanced at my father, and he looked satisfied.

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

It looks like he's decided.
