We had our lunch at Tallys place as usual. I had the at set today. Selena and Sharon ordered the sa al as , Elna ordered the fish set, and Cleria ordered a large serving of the at set as usual.
Do you need armor as well, Sharon? You too, Selena. Cleria asked.
Armor? Is it sothing important? Sharon replied.
Oh, now that Cleria ntioned it. If we were to purchase two sets of armor of the sa grade as mine, well have to fork out thirty thousand each. That ans Ill have to pay a total of sixty thousand Guineas. No, I cant worry about the cost right now. My head is filled with nothing but thoughts about finances lately. Any more and I feel Ill go crazy. I have to prioritize the twos safety after all.
Right. Its definitely important for you two to have equipnt to protect yourselves. Lets go to Zalukes place later then. If were gonna buy so weapons and equipnt, it would be better to purchase them from Zaluke since were already familiar with him.
After finishing a hearty al, we all went to Zalukes shop next.
Yo, Zaluke. Hows it going?
Hey, its been a while, you lot. I see your companions have increased again. Theyre twins?
Yup, thats right. I want to buy armor sets for the two of them. Oh, right. What kind of armor do you prefer, guys?
It would be best if it was easier to move in. The armor Cleria-san and Elna-san are wearing are a bit Sharon replied.
I also want sothing that wont hinder movent please. Selena followed up.
So I guess youll need to go with leather armor. I just got so new ones delivered, actually.
Zaluke guided us to the leather armor corner of the store, where a new armor set was displayed in place of the armor I bought a while back. It seed a bit similar to my armor, and yet different at the sa ti. The price tag indicated forty thousand Guineas.
This is the new armor we got, sourced straight from the royal capital. This is actually a new version of the armor you bought back then Alan.
Man. So mine is out of date already?
Well, most of the basic stuff remains the sa. It just has little tweaks done to its structure a bit.
Zaluke explained the specifics of the armor to Selena and Sharon.
Eh!? Magic tool?
They were quite surprised when they heard from Zaluke that the armor was classified as a kind of magic tool.
Ill get this one! Sharon exclaid.
too!
I see. Actually, I also recomnd getting this one guys. So, how much for two sets. Zaluke?
Oh, so you want two of them huh. Okay then. Ill give you a twenty percent discount. Actually, let take off two thousand more from that. Itll be sixty two thousand Guineas all in all. How about it?
Great. Well take them.
As I was about to get so money from my bag to pay for the armor, Selena and Sharon took out their own money. Man, thats a lotta money!
We will pay for the armor ourselves.
Whoah! You ladies sure are loaded! How co?
Actually, I had a pretty good idea already.
We brought them from the ship of course.
(How much did you bring?)
(Each of us brought thirty large gold coins. We also have a few other lower valued coins as well.)
So thats sixty large gold coins in total. All in all, they had six million Guineas! That really is a lot of money. Co to think of it, I did notice Selenas luggage to be on the heavy side when I was helping her move them from the inn she first booked. So it was because of the coins she brought with her.
Alan, arent Sharon and Selena going to be part of our party? Then isnt it better to use the party funds to buy their equipnt?
Yeah, youre right. Hey Selena, Sharon. Since these equipnt are basically for the improvent of our partys performance, its better to use the party funds to buy them.
Eh? Is that so?
Alright, Zaluke. Here you go.
I handed Zaluke the sixty two thousand Guineas.
Thanks for the business. Ill get their asurents then.
Zaluke took Selenas asurents straight away. He finished taking down her asurents quite quickly.
Youre up next, young lady.
My bodys asurents are exactly the sa as Selenas, so theres no need for you to take them, sir.
Oh, is that so? Having a twin sure is convenient.
Well, I guess their asurents really were exactly the sa. Rather, itll be more surprising if they were different.
Hey Zaluke, we also wanna buy so swords. Do you have any weapon shops you can recomnd?
Well, Ill definitely have to recomnd one of our partner shops. Exit this shop and turn right. Its just five shops away from here. A guy nad Joe is the clerk over there. You guys are already pretty well known among our partner stores, Alan. So Im sure theyll be more than happy to give you discounts as well.
So they did have a partner store specialized in weaponry. Man, Tarus-san really has his hands on a lot of different businesses, doesnt he?
Really? Thats great then. Well check it out right away then.
Ill finish the adjustnts to both armors in three days, just like last ti. Please co back for them afterward.
Understood. Were counting on you then.
We exited the shop and turned right, passing by five other shop fronts. It was the sa as the other shops managed by Tarus-sans family. It was on the smaller side, but looked nice and tidy.
Welco! Please feel free to browse our wares, dear custors.
We were greeted by the store clerk right after we entered the shop. The clerk was a young man.
So youre Joe? We were introduced here through the armor shop managed by Zaluke. Im Alan, by the way.
Oh! So its Alan-san! Ive heard of you. Youre the benefactors who saved the Master, arent you? Please go ahead and check our goods out. Ill give you a nice discount.
I see. Thanks. Were thinking of buying swords for these two ladies here. So, girls. What kind of swords do you two want?
Were not really familiar with swords though. What kind of sword are you using by the way, Alan? Sharon asked.
Right. These girls havent even touched a sword yet. I drew my sword out of its sheath and presented it to Sharon.
Oh, so you have a magic sword. And it looks like quite the fine article as well.
Joe comnted as such when he took a gander at the sword. Magic sword, he says?
Magic sword? Sharon inquired further.
Thats right. Its a sword that can dramatically increase its sharpness through the use of magic power. We dont have a sword of this fine quality here, but we do have magic swords available.
I see. So this things a magic sword huh. To think my sword was the magical sort. So that explains why I couldnt perform the Final Blade technique when I tried doing it using one of Verses knives.
Magic sword! Please show them to us! Sharon requested excitedly.
Sharon and Selena seem to be really interested in magic swords. Joe carefully brought out a case containing ten swords from the back of the store.
These are all the magic swords we have on hand.
Co to think of it, I already saw Clerias sword glow a while back, but I havent seen Elnas sword glow until now. So does that an Elnas sword wasnt a magic sword?
Is your sword not a magic sword, Elna?
Why, yes, it isnt. Soone like isnt really fit to use such an article.
I beg to disagree, Elna. You have dedicated yourself to protecting after all. Alan, can Elna also get a magic sword for herself?
Of course. Since itll increase our partys strength, its more than welco.
By the way, these swords all have the sa length. They only differ in weight and appearance by a bit. Joe inford us.
How much for one?
One sword costs one hundred twenty thousand Guineas. If youll get three, Ill take twenty percent plus a thousand Guineas off as additional service and give them to you for ninety five thousand Guineas each.
Oh man! Thats surprisingly expensive. Im glad I managed to make so money before coming here.
Alan, I think the party funds arent enough, right? Cleria worriedly asked.
Yeah. The remaining party funds are two hundred ten thousand Guineas. But Ill just pay for the remainder myself. Ill just get them back once our partys started earning from taking quests.
If the money isnt enough, then well pay with the money we brought. These arent supposed to be our personal funds anyway. We were supposed to give them all to you, Alan. Selena chid in.
