Chapter 85

“Hanfell, please give me some shoes . ”

“You don’t sound too sincere!”

“Hanfell…please give me…some shoes…”

“Hmph, I suppose I have no choice then . Come in . ”

This little s.h.i.t . Who does he think he is… Hitting people with hammers out of nowhere and then acting like this . If this was a lawless land, I’d separate his d.a.m.ned face from his body right about now .

The interior of the store was packed tightly with rows of shoes . If this guy made all of these, well, that was kind of impressive?

Each pair had a tag hanging from them . Let me see…

“‘Slight STR boost . ’ So they are enchanted?”

“Yes . Did it myself . ”

Huh…that was impressive . They say that you could make a living off of being an enchanter . If you could make shoes on top of that, you would be a great craftsman . Though this one had the worst personality .

“I’d want shoes that raise my AGI…”

“Eh?”

“I’d like to…”

“Then look at those shelves . Just grab a pair and bring em here . ”

I sigh at his att.i.tude and walk to the shelf that he had pointed at . There were low cut and high cut shoes and even boots . I was currently wearing cheap low cut shoes . Hmm, maybe I’ll go for the high cut ones this time .

“These ones look quite nice?”

Daniela said next to me, as she picked up a pair of boots . The enchantment tag read, ‘Slight AGI boost’…

“Well, they’re kinda like the shoes I’m wearing now, no? I was thinking about some high cut ones this time . ”

“I see…hmm…”

We continued to search together . There were so many designs, that it was difficult to choose . I didn’t even know much about shoes, but my eyes kept moving from one pair to another . Even the colors were varied . Colors…that could be important too . I was Silvergreen, so I should have colors that matched that . But the more cla.s.sic brown colors weren’t bad either . Or I could go for black to match my hair color .

“What about these?”

“Ah, yes . ”

Black high cut boots . The enchantment was ‘AGI boost . ’ Not ‘Slight boost . ’ The price tripled because of that, but it wasn’t outside of my reach . I still had some money left from that time we prevented a stampede .

“Hey, you little shi-…Hanfell . Is it difficult to cast AGI boost enchantments?”

“Were you just about to call me a little s.h.i.t? Ah, well . That enchantment was the work of my older sister . I can only do slight boosts . ”

“Hmm…”

Well, not too impressive now, huh? Okay, being able to do any enchantments at all was still great… I think I will buy these boots, though . And so I took them from Daniela and brought them to Hanfell .

“I’ll take these . ”

“Ahh… But can you really afford these?”

Hmm . I’m rich, you know? I take out my money from the hollow bag and lay it on the counter .

“Oh, so you do have some money on you then . ”

I give him my best smug expression .

“Don’t look so pleased with yourself!”

“Gggg…”

“Gggg…”

Alright, whatever!

“Hmph . These shoes are now yours . This pair was made from accel panther leather . They are famous for their speed . And while they are very durable, you should take good care of them . ”

“Yeah, yeah . Thanks . ”

He was an annoying little s.h.i.t until the end . However, these shoes were comfortable . I didn’t want to admit it, but he knew what he was doing . But then again, his face would appear in my head every time I walked . And maybe that was even worse than being cursed .

As it was midday, we made a short return to the Leaves in Sunlight inn in order to enjoy some forest food before moving on to the weapon shop . We could have just went directly to the weapon shop, but I didn’t feel like eating anywhere else after having tasted that food . Except for that one place with the handsome chef . Not that this was in any way, an informed opinion .

Because really, it was more that this town was so difficult to navigate . Even the weapons store we were headed in was at the edge of the town . It was located on the exact opposite side as the shoe store, and the Leaves in Sunlight inn just happened to be on the way .

New shoes often gave you blisters, but I wasn’t having such problems so far . He couldn’t have hated me enough for the shoes to hold a grudge . And the AGI boost…

“Hey, Daniela . ”

“What?”

“Do you remember that double AGI shirt from Spiris?”

“Ahh, the one used to advertise the store . ”

You could say that .

“Yeah, that one . Do you think it really gave you double AGI?”

“…What do you mean?”

It was something that I had been thinking about for a while .

“My stats have gone up since then . I think probably double of what I had during that time . ”

“Yes, that is right . ”

It is . I believe I was over 300 at that point . I was over 600 now . I had only checked after leaving Spiris, so it wasn’t exact, but it should be close to double .

During that demonstration, I had moved so fast that it had looked as if I had disappeared . That was with just a little magic flowing into my clothes . I could practically disappear now if I used ‘Legs of the Forest Wolf’ to its fullest . But it was hard to believe the same thing could be achieved with one shirt . AGI type boosts affected your physical abilities . It didn’t affect skills .

“Was it really double? Was it even an enchantment that affected AGI in the first place?”

“So you believe that it was a different enchantment, but it was cleverly disguised?”

“Well, I do now . That speed was very similar to the speed of Legs of the Forest Wolf . ”

As I’ve said, I know what it’s like to use Legs of the Forest Wolf to the fullest . It was when I was running through the plains . I was fast enough that the wind was able to shred the gra.s.s .

But I still disappeared . It used up a lot of magic too . It was a lot more magic then what I had used with the shirt .

“‘Legs of the Forest Wolf . ’ What even is it? Is it really just a unique skill?”

“Would it not be an enchantment? Seeing as it is magic that was granted by a monster . By Beowulf . ”

“So, this is some kind of status abnormality . ”

“I do not know . It has no precedent as far as I know . ”

“Yeah . There isn’t . Do you think that maybe some monsters have cast enchantments on clothes then?”

This was what I was thinking . Some abnormally evolved being, like Beowulf, had enchanted some clothes with a skill and put it on the market . He had said that it was achieved by multiple AGI boosts, but that didn’t seem likely . Nick had also said that he worked with an enchanter…but was that enchanter really human?

“The mystery deepens, eh?”

“While I’ve gotten used to it, that was the speed I could achieve by using Beowulf’s skill to the fullest . There is something fishy about being able to match that with just a little magic . This enchanter that Nick talked about must be amazing . ”

“A human or monster with power that exceeds Beowulf . That’s a bear you may want to be wary of accidentally poking . ”

I agree . I would figure this out the next time we returned to Spiris, or if I ever happen to hear any rumors about this enchanter .

Now, we’ve arrived at our destination . The Kasil Arms Shop . This town’s weapon store . As I opened the door, I prayed that this one wouldn’t be run by an annoying little s.h.i.t .

“Hanfell, please give me some shoes . ”.

“You don’t sound too sincere!”.

“Hanfell…please give me…some shoes…”.

“Hmph, I suppose I have no choice then . Come in . ”.

This little s.h.i.t . Who does he think he is… Hitting people with hammers out of nowhere and then acting like this . If this was a lawless land, I’d separate his d.a.m.ned face from his body right about now
