Chapter 34.1
Chapter 34 . 1 : Strengthening ≒ Reinforcement + Date
「I see, I understand . The only thing I can do is to cooperate then . 」
After explaining the reason why I needed to find a new weapon, Hanzou-san agreed to my request while flourishing his muscular arms .
「Anyway, please enter my store . You may find an item to your liking in there . 」
Following Hanzou-san into his store, I discovered that one side of the wall wasn’t just decorated with shelves, there were also knives, daggers, spears and long swords . Edged weapons aside, there were also shields and hammers . It was quite the magnificent scenery .
「Feel free to look at them . I’ll even add an extra service for you, Sou-kun . 」
「Thank you very much!」
Let’s find a subt.i.tute knife for now . I could feel relieved since my purse is filled with money after converting the loot I’ve gained so far . But, as expected, the most expensive item here is…
Yup, it’s too expensive for me .
I took a common knife which I felt the most familiar with and pa.s.sed it to Hanzou-san .
「I’m going to buy this one, Hanzou-san . 」
The knife that I gave him was somewhat of a bigger size, 7 centimetres thick and 36 centimetres long . I felt stronger holding it, since its size is only somewhat bigger than my previous knife . It also came to me the moment I held it, that its weight was about the same as the one I’m using in reality .
「It’ll be harder to use since its size is somewhat bigger than a common knife but, it’s also a powerful one . Its Physical Attack is 12, boasting the highest attack power amongst the ones of the same price . 」
Its attack power is double of my previous knife . It doesn’t mean that my damage will be doubled but, it’ll undoubtedly become a great war potential .
But when I was about to purchase it, Hanzou-san blocked my way .
「This is my present from me to you, Sou-kun . It’s my grat.i.tude for the transaction with Sakura yesterday . 」
「Eh, it’ll be hard on me to receive such a gift . I’ve already received a proper payment from Sakursan and I also really enjoyed it yesterday . Rather, if it’s grat.i.tude, I should be the――」
When I said that far, Hanzou-san suddenly pushed his fist to me .
「This is a form of investment by me, since I can also get various smithing material from the next stage if you can beat the boss . That’s why this is also for me . So, you must receive this!」
Ah, as expected, I really can’t just reject this . But, is this also the form of Hanzou-san’s chivalry? If that was the case, should I just accept this then? U~hm…
I hesitated for a short while .
「Then, thank you very much . I will keep this knife with my utmost care!」
I will return this favor . Definitely!
「That’s a relief . Being able to be useful is the greatest happiness for a craftsman」
Hanzou-san’s expression when saying so is in fact so cool and refreshing .
After saying my grat.i.tude to Hanzou-san, I’m heading toward the next weapon store in order to update my firearms . Though I expected that I’ll have a hard time in finding one, Hanzou-san who knew that I’m going to get a new gun next is introducing me to his acquaintances .
I really am in care for him for everything . I absolutely will repay this grat.i.tude . Defeating the boss could only pay the interest . I’m properly ingraining that deep in my heart as I’m opening the door of the next store .
The store was quite a big one which is designed to be able to house several stores in one floor . Upon a closer look there’s the store that specialize in rifle, gun, crossbow and bow . There’s also unique store which is placing some kind of pac.h.i.n.ko-like machine amongst those stores .
「This is quite a spectacle huh . What are you going to do Sou, are we going to gather here? 」
「That’s right . I want to stroll for a while to look for gun related store . Is it fine? 」
「Absolutely fine . I’ll be going to h.e.l.lowork to get some quest in the meantime」
Eh, is that mean I’m going to hold a flower in each hand? What’s with this harem situation . Isn’t this the best situation .
「Ah, in that case I’ll go with Hive《Shinji》」
Yup, I knew it . I guess Fuyukawsan will also be heading to somewhere else next right? I can see the ending .
「Shall we split into two team then . Since I’m going with Leaf《Midori》 to get some quest, Sou will go with Blue《Aoi》 as her bodyguard . Please be careful to not getting separated since she most likely will be lost if we leave her alone」
「I won’t! 」
「Ahaha, I’ll leave her to you then」
After saying so, Shinji and Wakakussan left the store with profound smile on their face .
Eh, is that mean it just me and Fuyukawsan then? This, isn’t this a date? Speaking of date, isn’t it about that? 【Date】, a continues shared time and s.p.a.ce between a man and a woman which only permitted to a stalwart who mastered certain level of communication skill, isn’t it?
「Geez……… . Shall we go then, Sou-kun」
「Y-Yeah . Let’s get going」
Fuyukawsan is so calm about this huh . Even though my heart is beating lou-……… . Eh?
「Blue, that way is to the entrance you know」
「Hau, EH! ? 」
No way, she’s almost become a lost child from the first step . It seems she really will become a lost child so easily as Shinji says . If I’m not paying special attention on her .
「W-W-W-W-Well then, Sou-kun! L-L-L-L-Let’s go! 」
No need to be that stiff…………… Are you really that embarra.s.sed when you almost become a lost child . Nay, it seems it’s better for me to not touch of this subject . This is where I should turn into a nonchalant leader . Be a nonchalant leader .
「W-W-W-W-W-Well, let’s go then! 」
G.o.d*ess d*mn it . .
G.o.d*ess d*mn it . .
Our face turning completely red as we entered the destinated store .
「Uwaa~……… . There’s a lot of gun . Which one is the one you’re looking for, Sou-kun? 」
「I’ll be using the one I’m using now, handgun . It’s better if it has smaller size」
Fuyukawsan is listening to my explanation and then went to pick one of the hand gun that being displayed on the shelves .
「WAH……… . . It’s quite heavy isn’t it」
「Well, they’re different from air gun after all . Well the recoil is also powerful since they made so close to reality」
All of the handgun here is player made since this is the store that is managed by a player . And speaking of gun, how are they able to make the guns . Does he make the gun powder too? Our strategy for boss capture will be drastically increasing in the degree of freedom if he can make hand granade too .
「What is the name of this pretty gun, Sou-kun? 」
The gun she holds on her hands is just a simple automatic pistol despite its georgeous silver color .
「This one is……… . . There are a few different parts but…… . . No, don’t tell me………… . Is this a desert eagle? 」
