Armor Store, At Last

The sandwiches contained a great combination or fried eggs, bacon and lettuce . We knew that we would definitely be visiting this place again as we left our seats .

We should get going then .

I say as I put the change in a leather bag . Danielas hand was on her stomach as if to show her dissatisfaction, but then she remembered that she was trying to be ladylike today, and so she nodded .

As it was midday, many people from around town were now gathering towards the wide streets and looking for places to eat . We walked together, hand in handfor the purpose of not losing each other .

I feel a little bashful .

I as well . I have not held a persons hand and walked since the time I took walks with my father

Daniela said, which put us in a sentimental mood . Her parents, huh . I wish I could have met them

Hey, Daniela .

Mm? What is it?

Um, are there tombstones in your homeland? For your parents .

Daniela looked up into the sky, as far as she could see and answered .

Aye, I built it for them on the land that our house once stood . But I have not returned since then, and I do not know what has happened to it

I see Then, once things get settled, I have to go and introduce myself .

Thank youAsagi .

She squeezed my hand tightly and smiled . I smiled and squeezed her hand back . The town was alive and clamorous, but we felt as if our time together was calm and gentle .

The Paw Clothes and Accessories Shop faced a large road, but we went through a back alley to reach the Paw Armor Shop on the other side . We let go of each others hands once we were inside . It would be the worst if we accidentally b.u.mped into and damaged any of the armor here .

Welcome! Welcome to the Paw Armor Shop!

A familiar voice rang from the back .

h.e.l.lo .

Ahh, it is you . Do not worry, I have set your armor aside for you!

He would have h.e.l.l to pay if he hadnt . I would go berserk . I would .

I came because I have enough money now .

I said as I handed over a leather bag containing the sixty gold pieces that I got from Harolds wyvern materials, plus five gold pieces I got from the reward that was shared between Rex and the other men . Praise the wyverns! Amen .

But it has only been a few days What did you do?

A little wyvern hunting .

No, then this Silvergreen who slew two wyverns alone must be?

I did not solo two wyverns! Thats an insane exaggeration!

Even killing one is impressive enough .

I just dealt the finishing blow to a wyvern that was already heavily wounded .

Oh, how modest!

He clearly didnt believe me Ah, well . This was a pointless conversation anyway . Just give me my lovely armor set!

Well, allow me to take you to it, Silvergreen .

Could we not do that?

We were led to the back of the store . Well, not too far back, as then we would just come into the clothing store on the other side . My armor was set up on a wooden mannequin-like block of wood . But something was different from before . There was a waistcloth . Complete with embroidery .

What is this cape-like thing?

Ahh, this . When I put it all together here, my wifewho, uh, happens to own the clothing store on the other side, she says that it looks unbalanced . And so created this cape out of extra wind dragon cloth in one night . Oh, you can consider it a bonus . It is not as if you requested it, after all . Also, it is going to be worn by Silvergreen himself!

Ahh Well, he was probably right . It would be a nicer silhouette to have cloth come down under the waist to match the poncho that would hang from my shoulders . An old friend called Yasuda had once told me that Character designs needed a great silhouette . However, what about utility?

There should be no problem in terms of your movement . And this waist mantle should strengthen the potency of your wind magic even further . There are no AGI enchantments, as we did not have enough time . But we could request that it be done . If you can pay the price for it .

Request? So you can ask someone to do it?

Yes . In truth, this price is more of an intermediary fee . You see, Enchanters do not accept private requests, and so this is the only way to go about it .

I see . It was a type of magic that would be in high demand, by keeping the door narrow, they could maintain a certain value . Very smart .

But it seemed like it would take some time . I wasnt really sure, but I had a decent military budget thanks to lord wyvern . Being cheap on my first investment in armor could have grave consequences as well . It would probably be wise to just do it .

Then I will request it . And I will pay for it now . So, how long does it take, anyway?

Uh, it can vary depending on the magicians schedule . But I would say that it is around one week .

Well, that wasnt too bad . It was a little sad that I couldnt take it all now, but I had to have some restraint .

So that will be sixty-five gold pieces for the armor set and an additional ten gold pieces for the enchantment . Seventy-five in all .

Yes, yes . Here is the extra ten .

I took out ten gold pieces from the Rex treasury and handed them over . Now, everything was complete . I felt good and clean, free of debts .

Thank you . Now, if you can just come by in one week, everything should be ready for you .

No . Thank you . I got quite a bargain . It was a good thing that I came here .

We shook hands, but it did not lead to a contest of grip strength .

By the way, your friend over there

Hm? Me?

Daniela had been staring blankly at some heavy armor . She was like a boyfriend who had no interest in the clothes store

That dress

Ah, is it not pretty? Asagi bought it for me .

She laughed with a little pride and turned around to show it off . It was too cute .

It is splendid! And if I may be so bold, could it be from the Goblins Boutique?

Yeah . We stopped there before finding this place .

I answer . I wasnt likely to forget that stores name for a while .

I knew it! Uh, would you mind if I had a closer look?

Ah, if you insist

Daniela said suspiciously as she stepped closer to the clerk . He folded his arms and looked sternly at the dress as he walked around her in a circle . He had the eyes of a craftsman .

Then his hand stretched out towards the skirt . I smacked the back of his head at full speed .

Are some kind of imbecile!

Forgive meI just got carried away

He rubbed the back of his head and bowed apologetically . Perhaps she was stunned because it was so sudden, but Daniela didnt move .

Asagiyou did that for me

She seemed to be so overwhelmed with grat.i.tude that she could not move . I forced a smile just as my temples were twitching with rage and looked towards the clerk in order to tear him a new one .

In the first place, dont you specialize in armor?

But I am also curious in clothing and accessories! I am very fond of clothing of this fashion .

Then you should go to the punk ladys store

Oh, but that place, it is a little intimidating

I had no answer for that .

We talked for a while after that and then left the store . I will be brave next time and go! the clerk said before we left . He really didnt need to be so nervous . She wasnt going to eat him, as far as I knew .

When we went out into the main street, the falling sun cast a giant shadow from the city walls . The time seemed to have past very quickly as we were in there . Almost too quickly .

The sun has already begun to set I had not realized how much time had pa.s.sed .

Ah, I was just thinking the same thing .

Hehe . Is that what one feels when they are with someone they like?

Je-jerk!

Whats with the surprise attacks! It was even worse because I was increasingly aware of how red my face was getting .

Hmm? What is wrong Asagi? You have turned scarlet .

Daniela asked as she looked deep into my eyes . It was too cute . Which only ramped up my bashfulness .

Its you know, the heat of the sun .

Oh?

She grins at me teasingly . If this was how things would be, then I was happy from the bottom of my heart that I became an Adventurer . However, being teased without reciprocating was no fun . I would have to deal a heavy blow in return .

Asagi, Asagi . My own face has not been affected . Is this somehow because of the sun as well?

She continued with an evil grin and moved closer to me . And so I cupped her chin in my hand and moved in to shut her up . Wide eyes look into mine .

And then, perhaps it was the work of the sun, Danielas face turned a bright red .

When our lips parted, I was able to put on a triumphant smile, knowing full well that my revenge had been a success .

But then again, her revenge for my revenge would be something fearsome . So it was best that I retreat for now . I run ahead toward our inn . I dont look back . There is no need to look back . There wasnt a speck of a chance that Daniela would not chase after me .
