Chapter 16
Kitsune and Finia who returned to the hotel faced towards under Rishe earlyWhen they were ran away from the forest into this countryKitsune remembered the place where he first awakened after thatKitsune with Finia went up the stairsand immediately stood at the front of that room
Excuse me~
AahIll come out nowehHahahaits been a week nowKitsune
Yepglad to see you againWe came here to return the money we borrowed
Im glad to see you again Rishe Have you been alright
Rishe who opened the door and came out made a smile as soon as the face of Kitsune was seenAnd after they exchanged their words of greeting for a long timeFinia took out her small hand while matching it up with Rishe and thye both exchanged a High touch(TLN: Original word is High touch so Ill leave it at that but its high five.)
YeahIve been waiting for youTalking while standing here is a little bit..so lets go inside
Then I shall excuse myself
Rishe opened the door wide and invited Kitsune insideKitsune placed Finia on his shoulder and stepped inside the room
The room had the same arrangement as the one Kitsune is also usingand there was the spectacle seen while he woke up from beforeThough it was the same as their roombut there was this feeling of nostalgiamaybe because Rishe was there
Kitsune sat on the chair that Rishe presented while Rishe also sat on the bed
Thenthough its already lateFor the second timethank you for saving us
Ahmy pleasureIm glad that you two are energetic
Kitsune took out 3 silver coins that he prepared in his pocket and handed it over to RisheRishe receives it and put it in her bosom
Obligation incurred through accepting hospitalitythough she didnt think that the money wouldnt be returned alreadybut since the money was able to be returnedKitsune seems to have become eased somewhat tooFinia who sees those two like that made a smile like a sunflower
Andthough I thought I would come over to play with Rishe-chan
What
We easily handled requests continuously for a week like thisso we thought that we would take a break for todaySo it became a talk where we should ask Rishe-chan to join us
A-ahhis that sobut this is troublingI was thinking of training later though
Though Rishe is being invited by KitsuneRishe seems to be busyShes also wearing clothes like shes gonna go out for a while when looking at herThe eyes of Kitsune was attracted to those hips that had a sword attached to it the first time they met and a small bag is worn on her shoulderIts most likely a first aid kit with medical treatment tools inside of it
It looks like it would be impossible for her to come and playKitsune judged soTo make her original schedule a messhe thought that he should forcibly take her out to play
Then you just have to take Kitsune with you in training
HoweverFinia proposed it so like that at that time
Kitsune and Rishe were both astonishedHoweverFinia didnt care and continued to stick out he chest like shes implying that its a good idea
Kitsune-san hasnt tremendously strengthened at all from all the one whole week of helpingYou should train a bit with this chance
What Finia said is quite rightAfter Kitsune ran away from the forest last timehe didnt raise a single level at allTherefore his level is still at 4I should raise my defense power to the extent of me not dyingis what he said but he didnt even make any effort on doing it
Kitsune listened to the words of Finia and secretly invoked Status Judgement on himself

When the skill Fortitude is invokedthough the coercion enters to all throughout the statustime is usually a numerical value that adventurers are anxious about excluding the status of the tolerance in which it is not.

Huh
Finias status has improved from the last time I saw itThe ability level of her Magic is now twice or more from the previous oneMoreoverher Magic Recovery Lv4andFlame magic Lv4 skills have gone up a levelFurthermore, a new skill has been added to her
Finia basically participated with Kitsunes actionand she shouldnt have had any time to be apart from him in this whole weekNevertheless why has her level and ability level gone up
Kitsune can be seen with a shocked expression while looking at FiniaThenFinia has who noticed such a Kitsune made a confused face and opened her mouth
Its because I dont need sleep While Kitsune-san was asleepI quietly polished up my magic and trained with the wolves as my opponent outside
I seeFinia-chanyou shouldnt do those kind of dangerous things
Eh
HoweverKitsune hid his eyebrow from the action of FiniaIts not like getting stronger is wrongHoweverFinia saying that I fought against monsters while he was sleeping is what he couldnt forgiveIf she became carelessher life might be the price at that stake
What would you do if by chance you encountered that monster Dont do something reckless like that again(TLN: Kitsune talking about Miasma monster.which is my love)
Ye-yesIm sorry
That is why Kitsune scolded FiniaThey met in the foresthas been partners for a long time till nowand if shes gone then it would become impossible for him to get back on his feetFor that reasonhe didnt want her to go to a place he didnt know and do something dangerous
Yeshowever isnt that great Your level and ability level has greatly grown You sure are reliable
EhY-yes Leave it to me Because Ill protect Kitsune myself
HoweverKitsune forgave Finia who has obediently apologized and praised her statusIt is alright if you will reflect on itand he should be grateful for her hard work in raising her status for himThat is what he thought of
However that is soIll be asking Finias help forever if this continues
Hm
Kitsune moved his glance from Finia to RisheRishe inclined her neck in response to Kitsunes gaze with a sound of *Kyoton*
Yeahthat is soRishe-chanIs it possible for you to take me with you in your training If its possiblethat is.
Kitsune decided to get stronger so he wouldnt rely on Finia too muchThough he didnt have the will to raise his adventurer ranking for nowbut it would be better if becomes someone who can protect ones own bodyThis world isnt simple since this is a world where one can easily lose their life
ThenRishe places her hand on her chinand she gave her answer after thinking for a while
OkayI understandSince today is just training by myselfthen its alright
Thank youRishe-chan
The place will be the meadows outside from the entrance of this country so it will be a bit of a walkIn the daytimethe small fry monsters loiter around the forestso they shall be our opponents is what Ive thoughtIll be going now so Ill meet you at the entrance I said a while ago so its alright if you prepare first
Ehthough Im already alright as I am right now
Kitsune says those words to RisheHoweverRishe abruptly narrowed her eyes on Kitsune who said such words
What are you sayingKitsuneEven if I say theyre small fry but its impossible to defeat them without a weaponare you kidding me
AhIncidentally that is so
Since Kitsunes past world didnt have a custom of bringing a weapon with themhe completely forgot the existence of the thing called weaponsKnights and Adventurers are the ones who defeats monstersbut weapons are needed for that to happen
However if one says a weapon that Kitsune has then it was a broken knife
I understandthen Ill go prepare myself now
Okaythen I;ll be going now like what I just said a while ago
Kitsune thought for a second and said soRishe looked and nods in agreement to Kitsune then she stood upKitsune identically stood upand went out of the room with RisheSeeing Rishe as she closed the door with a keyKitsune headed over to his room
ByeIll be seeing you later
Okayit would be better if you come faster (TLN: That sounded like( ))
Rishe went downstairs while Kitsune entered his room
Wellthis is a problem
Though deciding to go with Rishes training is alright alreadybut he didnt buy any equipment since he thought that he would be getting monster subjugation requestsIts not only him if one thinks about itan adventurer without weapons for example
Since Finia-chan used her magic in the forest then he didnt need a weaponthe bee died from being stepped and crushed and the wolves obediently withdrew thoughSo he didnt think about it at all
To begin withhe didnt posses any weaponSince staple wise would be a sword as he though sobut its impossible to be a master the act of killing with a sword so suddenlyThats only a story that happens in novels and manga you knowMoreoverhe didnt have or obtained any cheat or special power other than Status Judgement
What should we do Kitsune-san
Though he hears Finia saying sowell if he doesnt have any weapon then Rishe wont permit him to join her training
Fortunatelythere was a weapon shop on the way to the entranceso he thought of buying something handy
YepLets go and buySomething than even a weak person like me can handle
Ohh Kitsune-san will finally posses a weapon Youll become a true adventurer now
Theres still some of our earned moneyWe should be able to purchase at least one weapon
He placed the money they earned in his pocket for the time being and they went out of the roomHis eyes matched with the landlady who they were indebted to for a whole week now when they went downstairsIt seems like the landladys name is Eira-san by the way
OhAre you going out again
YesIll be having a little training with Rishe-chan
I seeYou should be careful okay
He got acquainted with Eira-san for a whole week in the conduct of oneselfHe thought that they became intimate to the extent of having idle chats and giving greetings nowSince he was disliked by the people surrounding himhe felt a little bit embarrassed that there was a person he got intimate with
Yes
Well be going now
Okay okaygoodbye to you too Finia-chan
I took Finia-chan who was waving her hand and went out of the innThe street wasnt different at all and it was still lively
I was sentimentalizing in that place a bitbut I should make Rishe-chan wait too muchI should face the weapon shop early
Hey Finia-chan
What is it
What should I do to go back to my past world is what I thought about
To return to my past worldif it is made into a letter then its easyand its also easy to make it to wordsbutit wasnt easy to achieveOriginallyIts not a place that you can walk to, ride a ship to or ride a plane to reachTo cross from world to go to another worldI cant think of anything that I can do to do that
If there was a possibilitythen that thing would be Finias Magic which was like a fantasy thingIf there exist a thing such as summoning like magicthen a magic to send me back would existThough Im not detailed in regards to magicbut should I focus on that first of all
It exists We would surely find it if we search for it
Howeverwhat if that way doesnt exist What if the way to meet Shiori-chan doesnt exist
When I think about thatthen the reason for me to keep on living in this world disappearsThat ismy biggest anxiety
Though Finia-chan says sothis anxiety doesnt completely fade awayBecause I have only exeperince thatthough I didnt think that there was anything scarybut only this becomes impossible
It is so
Theres no way even if I worry nowIll just put this thinking away
AhKitsune-san Its the weapon shop
Yeah
We arrived at the weapon storeLets change the thing that Ive been thinking
Excuse me
Alright
When we entered the shop and called for anyone with our voicewe heard a deep voice from the interior of the storeAnd after weve waiteda small old man came outThough his height was the same as my waistI can see that his face is more older than mine
Perhapshe might be from the dwarf raceSince theyre good at making thingsthen its expected that hes in a weapon shop
Kept you waitingwhat is it that you need
I want to buy a weaponI want a sword or a knife that can be swung even by a weak guy like me
HmmmTo want to swing a sword with such a weak bodyyoure a very arrogant kid huh
The dwarf said that unto meCertainlyabout the man who shall use the weapon made from the maker himselfI also nod since I understand when I see itPerhaps that is what he meant when he said that I was arrogant in his evaluation
Youwhy do you want a weapon If youre gonna say that its for playing then go homethese guys arent vulgar things that can be played with as you wish
To such a dwarfhe tried to ascertain mewith his eyes that was like it was trying to look for my answerIn a serious meaningdo you really want a weaponthen I shall ascertain to that myself is what I understood
Howeverwhat I do in this world all falls under one purposeThis is the one and only guidepost of my action
That is why I answeredThe reason for me to posses a weapon
To live
That is all it is
Those eyesyou dont seem to be lying huh
Of courseI cannot die hereThere is a reason that wont happen if I dont live
I seeI have understood your seriousness from your eyesHoweverto wield a sword with the looks of your weak bodyI dont have anything great for you
Its fineA weapon is necessary for me as of today
While saying soafter the dwarf had a thinking like look for a few secondshe took out one swordIt was a short swordA small sword of about 40cm
This guy can be swung even by a comparatively inferior man or a normal female citizenYoull be able to be a bit stronger and be able to defend your own body
Then I want that
Yeahits 10 silver coinsThe sheath is also included
Then with this
Even though 10 silver coins are expensiveit isnt an amount that I cannot payI took out 10 silver coins from my pocketand handed it over to the dwarfIn exchangeI have received the small swordSince it was a weapon for taking livesit felt a little bit heavier than the original weight
Come by again if it needs maintenancethen Ill repair it
Alrightincidentally what is your name
Huh I am dwarf Gran as you see
I am Kitsune the adventurerMy best regards
YeahUntil your still alive though
An adventurer is a person of freedomtherefore the dont understand when they would dieThat is why even if it were just wordsI still noddedIt is good as long as he doesnt dieHe doesnt have any thought at all to die after all
Thank youIll be going now
Yeah
Well since he has obtained a weapon then he should be on his way to Rishes placeHe went outside of the store and placed the small sword he had inside the scabbard that was attached to his belt
However you were quite quietFinia-chan
I was a bit scared of his mismatch feeling lke his face was mature but his body was small
AhI see
Finia seems to be not good with dwarfs by the contrary
