Chapter 110 - Buying New Armor

Kazane left the Zeral Arms Shop, but her feet went towards the market, not to the hotel . There might be magic swords and other bargains, and she also wanted to continue shopping and buy food .

「Thank you for your patronage, young lady; here"s some extra . 」

「Thank you, Uncle-chan . 」

When Kazane purchased takoyaki the middle-aged man gave her two extra . It was a common phenomenon when Kazane shopped .

「Hofuu, it"s hot, but so delicious . 」

Her pleased appearance from eating delicious food charmed the people who walked by and saw her . The middle-aged man said「Diligently pay attention as you walk」and Kazane said「Yes~」as she headed towards the arms market .

And when Kazane finished eating the takoyaki she took out an Indestructible Handkerchief and wiped the sauce from her hands until they were clean . This Handkerchief properly cleaned without absorbing things like sauce . It was a mysterious specification .

「Well then . 」

She arrived at the targeted arms market . The quality of the Indestructible Cloak Kazane was wearing was high and attracted attention, so she tended to be seen as a reasonably well-off child who had spent a lot of money .

The people at everyday sundries and food shops still treated her with hospitality, but when she went to places selling weapons and armor she could only be seen as a window shopper . In fact, Zeral"s greeting earlier was actually gracefully telling her to leave .

So after entering the market Kazane decided to open her cloak a little as she walked . Kazane"s equipment could immediately be recognized as high grade armor to the trained eye . They might not immediately notice it was dragonscale equipment, but creators were creators . Even if they did not know the material its quality couldn"t be hidden .

「Hey there, young lady . You have some splendid equipment; where did you get it?」

In the middle of walking around she was greeted .

「It was made by the Batroa Workshop . 」

The old man at the armor stall said「I see」after Kazane"s remark . At first he thought she was some rich brat given excessive equipment by her parents, but when he looked closer he understood that they had been used, and he noticed she was abnormally accustomed to her foot armor .

「Are the breastplate and gauntlets dragonscale equipment? The armor on your legs also seems to be made from the horn of some kind of monster . I don"t know anything about the circlet or cloak, but they look like they have some special abilities . With all that prepared it seems unlikely the young lady will find anything suitable in this market . 」

The old man said after evaluating Kazane"s equipment .

「I was thinking I might find a hidden treasure . 」

「Hmm . Well, I thought it might be something like that . If that"s your objective, how about this?」

The old man fetched some trousers from the back of the stall .

「They look considerably tight . 」

「Young lady, from appearances you seem to be the Boxer type . 」

Kazane frowned at his words, but he wasn"t really wrong, so she nodded .

「But even though the trousers you"re wearing now seem to be high in defensive power they don"t look easy to move in . 」

「That"s certainly so . 」

The Carapace Bull Trousers Kazane was wearing emphasized defense, but they were not made with mobility in mind .

「And so I recommend this thing . These pants made from a Plasma Panther"s leather increase Agility . 」

The Plasma Panther was said to be the fastest monster on the surface . They were probably that way because the Street Gazelle was their staple food .

「But they seem expensive?」

「Well, they"re about this much . 」

It wasn"t like Kazane couldn"t pay the old man"s asking price, but thinking they were way too tight to wear by themselves she pointed at a skirt to the side and spoke .

「Since I"ll also buy this one please give me a slight discount . 」

「You"re a clever young lady, but this item is very expensive . Even compared to these Plasma Pants . 」

So saying the old man fetched the skirt .

「It is a skirt made by joining together a large number of feathers from Flying Sylphan . It is a magical tool that allows gliding to a certain extent if you fall from a high place, which can save your life . 」

It was natural that Kazane pointed at it . It was the most eye-catching item in the store .

「By the way, what is the price?」

「Combined with the Plasma Pants it is this much . 」

The amount of money the old man said made Kazane groan . It wasn"t an amount she couldn"t pay . But Tatsuyoshi-kun Dragoon had taken half of her a.s.sets, and that remainder would be reduced by half if she bought them . There was the possibility that she wouldn"t have enough to purchase a magic sword even if she found a desirable one .

「Well, it"s fine? I"ll take them . 」

Kazane already had adequate equipment, and she chose to strengthen her current style of fighting rather than wait for a magic sword she hadn"t seen yet .

With the gliding ability she might be able to extend the flight time of her Air Jump . Since the magic dagger alone might be insufficient for her planned『Special Move』supplementing with this might be enough to make it work . A side benefit was that the tight pants like leopard print tights and the skirt would increase her girl power . Rather, that was the most important factor .

「Yosh, let"s try them out later . 」

Kazane cheerfully said farewell to the old man as she parted from the street stall, and then she continued walking around the arms market in search of magic swords and spell swords .

「Muu」

Kazane groaned while visiting the market stalls . As expected there were no particularly interesting weapons . From the start the quality of a spell sword was largely based on the artisan"s skill, so finding a bargain was considerably difficult because the high quality ones were sold at arms stores . There were magic swords like the lightning and flame ones possessed by the Dullahans, but the quality was several levels lower . Although she found a few unusual things, it didn"t lead to any purchases .

It could rather be said that Kazane"s Black Fang and Adhesion Sword should be sold .

「Muu, there just isn"t anything」「There simply isn"t anything useful . 」

「「?」」

Kazane was startled when words suddenly overlapped with her own and she looked over in surprise, and the other person was also looking at Kazane with surprised eyes .

「Ah, pardon me . 」

The first person to talk wasn"t Kazane but the other party, who was a woman with a tall figure .

「Not at all, it is I who should say that . 」

Since the other party behaved politely Kazane also politely answered .

「Muu, that"s a katana . 」

The moment Kazane turned her head she noticed the katana hanging from the woman"s waist .

「Oh my, you know that this is a katana? Are you perhaps from the same place?」

The woman speaking had long black hair and j.a.panese facial features . With her dignified air and feminine modesty Kazane thought the woman was the perfect embodiment of Yamato Nadeshiko .

「No, I think it"s different . You"re『j.a.panese,』aren"t you?」

「That"s right . Your facial features made me think you were j.a.panese . So I was wrong? Pardon me . 」

She seemed to be a courteous person . j.a.panese people were black-haired people that lived in the island country of j.a.pan, which was slightly east of the Philon continent . In other words, it was a country in the game that was based on an outrageous impersonation of j.a.pan with occupations like Samurai, Ninja, and Sumo Wrestler .

「No, I"m often told that, so it"s fine . Did Onee-san come to see the swords here?」

「That"s right . In my country there aren"t many kinds of magic swords, so I thought I might find some good weapons here, but . . . 」

「Hmm」

Incidentally, there was no j.a.panese magic sword, but there were weapons called Taima Katanas . It was a technology developed by the j.a.panese because they lacked Magic Ore . It involved engraving magic seals on a sword, pouring in something called blood ink that included their own blood, then pa.s.sing magical power through the sword .

「Hey, Uncle-chan . Is there anything a bit more powerful?」

Kazane asked the stall clerk .

「It would be nice if there were . If nothing here catches your eye it would be better go to the Zeral Arms Shop . There aren"t many things coming here through the Dragon Boat at the moment . 」

「It would be nice if there were . If nothing here catches your eye it would be better go to the Zeral Arms Shop . There aren"t many things coming here through the Dragon Boat at the moment . 」

「Things aren"t coming by Dragon Boat?」

「That"s right . It"s time for the Grand Tournament in Resurrect City . Anything good is sold over there, and useful goods flow in that direction instead of coming this way, so there aren"t any high quality goods left . 」

The clerk said with a sigh . But Kazane blinked in surprise at the information she heard for the first time .

「Jinrai-san said that there are always events at the arenas, but that seems different?」

「It"s different . Although there are open fighting compet.i.tions held on a weekly basis, the Grand Tournament is only held once a year . It would usually already be over . But it looked like Minshiana and Soldard would go to war until a little while ago . Because of that it was postponed for a while, but they finally decided to open it . 」

「Ah, so that"s why . 」

Jinrai probably didn"t get that information yet . Kazane thought about discussing that with Jinrai and the rest once she returned . The woman beside her asked「Then won"t there be good weapons in Resurrect City?」

「That"s right . Or as I mentioned earlier you can go to the Zeral Arms Shop . They restock from Minshiana"s Zenith Firm . Although there will probably still be fewer weapons than usual . 」

The woman bowed her head to the clerk and said「Thank you . 」Kazane decided to guide the woman, so she returned the way she came and once again arrived at the Zeral Arms Shop .

After they parted in front of the shop Kazane returned to the hotel and told Jinrai and the others about the Grand Tournament .

◎ Wombard City, Roiro Hotel

「So that"s what I heard . 」

Kazane explained what she heard in the market after Jinrai came back from today"s training, and he groaned hmm in thought . In addition, it seemed that the Wolf G.o.d Transformed Yumika was overwhelmingly defeated again today, but from Yumika"s expression it looked like she still put up some resistance .

「Hm . So the Grand Tournament was started? I was careless . 」

「In that case, what will you do?」

What to do was asked about Yumika . Originally she was only going to be partic.i.p.ating in something like a small tournament .

「Well, she may as well try . Yumika, for now we should prepare for the compet.i.tion . 」

From Yumika"s expression she was expecting that, and she replied「Understood」 .

「So are you also going to make an appearance?」

To Jinrai"s question Kazane replied「I will not . 」

「Honestly it"s not that I have zero desire to compete . I can probably fight well against any opponent, but won"t I have to hold back if I don"t want my ability exposed?」

「Hmm . Well . . . . probably . But since it is the Grand Tournament there is also a summoning compet.i.tion . How about competing with Yuuko-nee?」
「Honestly it"s not that I have zero desire to compete . I can probably fight well against any opponent, but won"t I have to hold back if I don"t want my ability exposed?」

「Hmm . Well . . . . probably . But since it is the Grand Tournament there is also a summoning compet.i.tion . How about competing with Yuuko-nee?」

「There"s something like that?」

Jinrai nodded in reply to Kazane .

「There aren"t very many summoners so there are usually only exhibition matches, but I hear if you win the the championship you will receive an item that can strengthen your summon . 」

Kazane"s eyes gleamed after hearing Jinrai"s words, and she replied「If that"s the case then shouldn"t I compete?」Naturally her objective was the strengthening item .

Chapter 110 - Buying New Armor . Kazane left the Zeral Arms Shop, but her feet went towards the market, not to the hotel .
