âNext is the weapons shop, right?â Where is it? â
Lilia looks at her father wearing a rain gear.
Itâs over there.
Huh?
Everyone sees what your father pointed to.
What, over there?
âI donât knowâŠâ
Arenât you crushed?
Ah, Mr. Tanras said it.
Yes, the store your father was pointing to only seemed to be crumbling.
In front of the shop, broken wooden boxes are piled up, and the roof appears to have holes in some parts.
The shop doesnât seem to have lights on, and I even feel creepy when I look at it in the dimness of today.
Are you sure itâs there?
âThereâs no doubt about it. See?â
Dad shows Lilia the paper that Micke wrote.
âItâs really that place.â
Leah leans between her brows and looks at the paper Micke wrote.
He seemed to agree with the name on the paper and the name of the store in front of him.
Well then, letâs go.
Arielus walked out, and Tannis and Leah walked out.
Then he walks up the stairs and looks up at the sky.
Itâs not dark enough to rain all the time, but it hasnât come yet.
Iâd be glad if you could keep it that way until we get back to the inn.
Iâm sorry to bother you.
Mr. Arielus called out to the back of the store.
I waited for a while, but there was no voice coming back.
Looks like thereâs no one there, right?
âThere you are, here you are.â
»» »» »
In a sudden voice, Arielus and the others screamed small, and I jumped up.
When I held down my throbbing heart, Ponpon and my father gently stroked my back.
Also, your body is relieved and relaxed.
Who do you think you are?
I didnât see any signs.
âIâm sorry, I didnât think you were so surprised.â
When he turned his gaze to the voice, there was a small, tall man.
I tilted my neck as I saw the figure.
Even though Iâm in front of you, the signs are very thin.
âThatâs a face you donât see. Who are you referring to? You donât think a shop like this is open without an introduction, do you?â
Could it be the shopkeeper?
âWell, Iâm an adventurer on a journey.â This is an introduction to the people who are staying at the inn. I think itâs crushed without an introduction. â
Mr. Arielus returns all the answers to the law.
I donât think I needed the last answer.
I wonder if the man thought so, but after making a slightly surprised look at Mr. Ariasâ answer, he started laughing.
Ah!
Arielus made a slightly panicked look at how she noticed her response.
âItâs okay, youâre right.â Well, this is a shop, but if you have any business to do, please do it. â
The shopkeeper held the door with both hands.
What, two hands?
Gahh.
He lifted the door up and leaned against the side wall.
âIâm sorry, I havenât fixed it since it broke.â
Every time I open a store, it seems like it would be troublesome to lift and move the door, so I think it would be better to fix it quickly.
Isnât it a hassle to lift the door one day?
Lilia asks the shopkeeper as she enters the store.
âYouâre used to it. Itâs been four years? No, itâs been that way for five years.â
Doesnât that mean youâre not going to fix it anymore?
Lilia and Tanlas are dumbfounded by the shopkeeperâs response.
âWell, you can watch as you like.â Donât go in the back. Itâll collapse someday. â
I turned to the store ownerâs words and turned my attention to the back of the store.
There was a leaning shelf.
Certainly, I donât feel uncomfortable even if it breaks down now.
Is there anything else dangerous?
âNhh, the floor is fine.â Once the floor fell and I got injured, I replaced it with a sturdy material. â
The shopkeeper responds to your fatherâs questions by tilting his neck.
Is it dangerous except for the floor?
Look at the shelf next to it.
It looks so solid that it doesnât look like itâs going to fall.
Probably okay.
âDonât let me see it the way I want.â
âOh, if you find something that bothers you, just let me know.â
I have the permission of the store owner, so I will look at the shelf where the product is placed.
It may have been put there, or it may have been thrown in, but it might have been the right answer.
Awesome.
When I look at your father, he is nodding with a stone in his hand.
Whatâs the matter?
âThe quality of the grinding wheel is quite good. Sheâs the only one who can get this store moving.â
Receive a grindstone from your father.
The stone is black and the surface is wobbly.
To be honest, I have no idea how good the grinding wheel is.
Look at the shelf in front of you.
There is a similar stone, so I will take it in my hand.
When touched, the two stone surfaces were slightly different.
Until I met my father, I used a knife or knife that I picked up in the dump.
Therefore, it was common sense to pick it up at the dump when it became worse than when I picked it up.
Visit wuxiaworld.eu for extra chapters.
I didnât think that sharpening with a grinding wheel would make me feel better than when I picked it up.
I was moved when I had my father sharpen the knife for the first time.
On that day, the vegetables were cut in vain, and three soups were made in the pan.
Itâs better to use a slightly tighter and softer stone first than the grindstone Ivy got.
Huh?
âOh, I didnât choose it, I just took it.â
Today I was able to sharpen it, so I came to buy a grindstone just for me.
I canât afford to borrow my fatherâs grindstone all the time.
âIs that so?â I thought it was a grindstone that bothered me. â
Shake your head to your fatherâs words and return the grindstone to its original place.
âSome people just sharpen it with a medium cut, but if you think about the sharpness, I think you should sharpen it with three typesâ
Yeah, Iâm going to sharpen it with three types of grindstones just like my dad.
My father taught me how to get it using a medium grind and a finishing grind.
Thatâs why I also plan to use three types of grindstones.
Ask your dad and choose a size thatâs easy to use.
âAfter that, Iâll take care of the handles.â I have some magic items for you. I wonder where it is? â
It reminds me of a magic item that my father bought when he needed it before.
There must have been a hole in one of the boxes.
âIvy, there it is.â
When I went to my dadâs place, there were box-shaped magic items lined up.
It seems to be a little smaller than the one my father bought before.
Do they all have the same performance?
âTheyâre all the same.â Itâs just that the boxes are slightly different in size. â
Wow.
When I looked behind in a hurry, there was a shopkeeper.
This man is a wizard.
âPlease stop standing behind me unexpectedly.â
In his words, the shopkeeper shrugs his shoulders and takes a box.
âThis is the toughest of them all.â This is my recommendation. â
Thank you very much.
Receive a box-shaped magic item in front of you.
The shopkeeper nodded and went back to the original place.
Somehow, youâre a very distinctive person.
Thatâs right.
Your father smiles bitterly.
Gatan.
âOh, my God.â
Huh?
I heard a familiar voice at the entrance of the store.
I saw the head of the vigilante Gabari holding the door.
âHey, as I always say, you canât fix the door. One of these days, people will get hurt.â
âIf you come in quietly, thereâs no problem. Most likely you were the first to break down the door!â
What, a fight?
I alternated between the shopkeeper and the head of the Gabari team.
Whatâs that?
Itâs a totally different height, but itâs kind of similar?
âAh⊠Iâm sorry. I didnât know there were customers in this shop.â
Itâs an amazing way to say it.
âWhat are you doing here?â
âOh, my sword spilled a blade.â Please fix it. â
âHuh? This is the third time this month.â
The angry voice of the shopkeeper made the head of the Gabari team look a little grumpy.
âIâm sorry, but you canât help it, can you?â It looks like thereâs a top monster in the woods, and thereâs a gaol near the village. Iâll fight to keep them from coming back to the village, but their bodies are really hard. Take a good look at the spillage of the blade. â
Gaoru was indeed a monster covered in a very tough armor, and when he invaded the territory, he came into contact with his body.
But if that monster hadnât come out of the depths of the forest, it would have been in the book, wouldnât it?
