âHuh? Yeah, but itâs okay. Gaol does not come to the village because the vigilante can handle it. The problem is, the higher monster who canât see what appeared in the forest.â
An invisible higher monster?
âFrom the remaining magic power, I knew that I was a superior monster, but I couldnât capture my figure.â If the type of monster could not be identified, it would be difficult to deal with it. So far, I havenât heard anything about being attacked, but I canât rest assured. Where exactly are you hiding? â
Thatâs scary.
There are many caves around this village, so are they hiding there?
But then, the adventurers who enter and exit the cave will witness it, right?
âCanât you think of getting away from this place?â
Oh, it could be.
No, I donât think so.
I donât have any.
Even today, the magic power of the top monster was found around the third cave from the back.
If there was still magic power left, it meant that I was still around.
Then why canât we find it?
I canât find it⌠Iâm looking for it in the woods.
Something wrong with where youâre looking?
For example, in the ground⌠thereâs no such thing.
âHey, Gabari, put out your sword. Iâll sharpen it.â
âOh, thank you. What about the sword I deposited with you?â
âWait a minute.â
The shopkeeper puts out a big sword from the bag beside him and gives it to Gabari-san.
Wow, Iâve never seen such a big sword before.
Was he a great swordsman?
With a slightly surprised expression, Father looked at the great sword held by Mr. Gabari.
âWell, a sword this size is unusual, isnât it?â This is it, donât do it, please. â
After receiving the sword from the shopkeeper, Gabari hands him another sword from the bag that was hanging on his shoulder.
The shopkeeper sighed as he took the sword out of the sheath.
âHey, I donât think this is going to work.â
When I looked at the great sword that the shopkeeper had, I noticed that there was a big chip in the middle.
I donât think there is anything that can be done by sharpening it.
I knew it couldnât be done? It was easy to grip and I really liked it.
Gabari said unfortunately, and the shopkeeper turned to him.
âIt will take time, but I will change the blade.â Thatâs fine. â
Mr. Gabari, the head of the Delegation with a happy expression in the words of the shopkeeper.
These two sound like they have a good relationship, though their words are rough.
âBut, Dad, what happened to the restoration of this shop?â You said youâd do me a favor before, right? â
Huh?
Daddy⌠daddy of Gabari-san?
I compare the shopkeeper with the head of the Gabari delegation.
Thatâs why theyâre alike.
âAh, well⌠Iâll see you next time.â
âDid you run out of money again?â Youâre telling me to fix this place. â
Is the owner a hard man to pay for?
It doesnât look like that.
âI thought Iâd fix it, but I got a magic item.â With it, we might be able to measure the change in the amount of magic power in the cave. If that happens, youâll immediately notice the cave abnormality. â
âThatâs why you donât spend all your money on magic items or cave research.â
Well, itâs not about the money, itâs about the research.
Iâve thought of something very rude.
âAlso, let the Vigilante or the Adventurerâs Guild have a budget.â If youâre talking about the cave, Iâll give you the money. â
âI donât know if that magic item is really useful for the cave.â I wonder if I can get money out of things that might be wasted. â
âDad. Hahaâ
The shopkeeper gave a slightly awkward look to the frightened head of the Gabari delegation.
However, in an instant, I immediately returned to a slightly grumpy expression.
Could it be that youâre feeling awkward about what youâre worried about?
âIf it seems helpful, I will submit the documents to pay the purchase price.â
SeparatelyâŚ
âThis is a decision. And the family will decide to fix this place. Iâll arrange a subcontractor.â
â⌠ahhhâ
Whatâs that?
The shopkeeperâs face now looked happy.
âHmm? Oh, Iâm sorry. Looks like I interrupted you.â
Huh?
Gabari-san looks at us and lowers his head.
When I look at my dad, he has a grindstone or magic item that he decides to buy.
AhâŚ
When I looked back at the gaze of Brigadier Gabari, Arielus and the others also had the product.
I thought it might have prevented me from buying it.
âItâs okay, you have a better product than that.â
Gabari-san smiles happily at your fatherâs words.
âItâs only natural.â Donât always say whatâs normal. â
When the shopkeeper says in a grumpy mood, the head of the Gabari team smiles bitterly.
âIâm sorry. My mouth is bad⌠but itâs twisted.â Iâm sure of my skill. â
Father laughed tinyly at the words of the head of the Gabari delegation.
Is it twisted?
Definitely, yes.
âPlease do this.â
When his father placed a grinding wheel or something on the counter, the shopkeeper held it in his hands one by one.
Well, well, you chose the right thing.
Thank you very much.
When his father thanked the shopkeeper, he replied âhmmâ.
And when he laughed, his father looked at me and smiled.
Oh, my dad seems to like the shopkeeper.
Whatâs that?
I felt like the shopkeeper had just sneaked in to see my dad.
Visit wuxiaworld.eu for extra chapters.
Oh, here we go again.
âHey, hereâs a bonus. Use it.â
The shopkeeper looked at the things on the counter and his father was surprised.
From the appearance, it seems that the shopkeeper has put out a pretty good product.
Could it be that the shopkeeper liked your father as well?
âItâs unusual. Do you like him?â
The shopkeeper turns to the side and says âhmmâ to the head of the Gabari delegation.
I donât deny it.
âThank you, Iâll take good care of it.â
âDo that. Because I only want people who understand the value to use it.â
I guess that means youâve admitted your fatherâs eye-catcher.
Oh, my dad seems happy.
When I pay for the product I bought, I put it in a magic bag.
It looked like Arielus and the others had bought it safely.
Thank you very much.
I thanked the store owner and left the store.
AhâŚ
Finally, itâs raining.
Lilia looks up at the sky.
I look up at the sky with you.
Dimmer clouds cover the sky than before.
This could rain pretty hard.
What are you going to do?
Everyoneâs gaze turned to his father in response to Liliaâs words.
I had my first planned shopping, so letâs go back to the inn.
âI see. Itâs going to get worse and worse in this sky.â
Mr. Arielus wears rain gear.
Looking at the rain gear, I saw Tanlas and Leah, who were already wearing rain gear.
It was a match, wasnât it?
The three of them had different colors, but they wore matching rain gear.
Besides, Mr. Arias and Mr. Tanras smile bitterly.
Tilting her head to the response, she heard Liliaâs happy voice.
You know what? Thatâs why I did the same thing.
Looking at her, she looked quite satisfied.
I see, Arielus and Tannis lost out on Leahâs momentum.
It looks good on you.
Iâm glad to hear it, Lilia-san.
Mr. Tanras looks a little embarrassed, but he doesnât look nasty.
Hurry up.
Running toward the inn as the rain grows stronger.
I wish you could have put up with it a little more!
Iâm back.
Easily drain the water at the entrance and then enter the inn.
âWelcome home. I brought you a towel, so you can use it.â
Have you noticed that I have returned? The owner of the store, Mr. Chagu, brought me a towel from the back of the inn.
Thank you very much.
Remove your rain gear and hang it on the hangers provided at the front door.
Thanks to the rain gear, it seems that the inside is not so wet.
I knew you should use rain gear that suits your body.
Yep.
âWhatâs the matter?â
Lean your head against my attitude, Father.
I thought rain gear with no water coming in through the gap would be good
â⌠letâs use what we have now.â
Ahahaha. Thatâs right.
Some rain gear wasnât that expensive, so letâs do it.
