The shopkeeper's grandmother directly picked up the magic stone pointed out by Arthur, she had long enough to notice the stone, a sense of awe and shock emanated from her face.
The magic stone was red like blood, it was a fire-type magic stone making its user clothes would be resistant to fire magic attacks.
" It's a fire magic stone, where did you get it?." asked the shopkeeper's grandmother while staring at the stone in her hand, this was the first time she had seen the stone directly, all this time he was just looking at books.
Arthur explains that he got when he entered the underground labyrinth that is near the city of Arcana.
" Is the stone still lacking?" asked Arthur, it was as big as an adult fist.
" It's quite enough that even we can make ten more magic suits." replied the shop owner's grandmother happily.
The shop owner's grandmother took the thread making machine and she immediately made a magic thread, Arthur noticed Ruby who was playing with the goods in the store.
Arthur pulls Ruby to get closer to the shopkeeper's grandmother who is making magic threads.
" you made it" said Arthur asked the shop owner's grandmother to let Ruby work.
Ruby had already made 5 rolls of thread, she was still twisting the magic thread making machine with her right hand while her left hand was holding the stone fastened on a thin wooden board so that the stone could become thread.
" When will this end ?." Ruby had already complained because she had been turning the thread making machine for almost all day.
" Suffering a little more, yeah. When it's finished, I will give you a meal." said the shop owner's grandmother encouraged Ruby.
Ruby became excited after hearing the meal that grandmother would give her when she had completed the task she was doing.
After Ruby was finished, the grandmother gave Ruby a pastry and they all said goodbye to the shopkeeper's grandmother to deliver the magic thread to be made into clothes.
" Wait a minute." call the shopkeeper's grandmother to stop Arthur's steps, he takes the magic stone that is still quite large and calls it to Arthur.
" That's for you" said Arthur gave a stone to the shop owner's grandmother, according to him the grandmother had helped him a lot.
The granny was happy to get that very step magic stone, not forgetting that she thanked Arthur.
Arthur returns to the town of Terion to find the shopkeeper who will make Ruby a dress.
They instantly gave the magic thread after arriving at the woman, they waited for one day for the shirt to be made.
Arthur trains Rias and Ruby while waiting for the clothes to be sewn, he helps them both to increase endurance so that their physiques get stronger.
After waiting for one day Ruby's clothes were finally finished, the clothes with red robes that Arthur ordered because the robes that Ruby always used were hollow everywhere.
The shirt is very beautiful with a skirt under the knees and a red robe that is equipped with a hood to cover the head like the characteristics of the old Ruby robe.
Arthur stared at Ruby for a long time when he came to wear his new clothes, according to him Ruby is very sweet to wear the shirt.
Rias turned her lips when she saw Arthur staring at Ruby for quite a while, she was a little jealous of Arthur's gaze, according to him Arthur was interested in Ruby.
" It fits you so well" said Arthur stroking Ruby's head.
Ruby was so happy to get a new dress, she immediately hugged Arthur because it was the first gift given by Arthur.
During this time Ruby was very lonely there was not a single person who was there to accompany her, only this time she felt comfortable being close to someone like Arthur.
" Mister Arthur, thank you very much" said Ruby, who was still hugging.
" Make sure you work hard." said Arthur removing Ruby's embrace.
" Well, I'll fight." Ruby smiled with excitement.
They all headed to the restaurant to enjoy lunch, where a man came near Arthur.
The man recognizes Arthur as a hero, he asks Arthur for help to deliver the goods.
" The village in the southern region ordered this potion, but they needed it immediately in large quantities." the man showed Arthur the potion.
The herb is made from various types of plants to heal the villagers affected by trombes, which are types of vines that absorb life energy.
The soil that has been absorbed by the trombes becomes arid, it takes time for the soil to become fertile again but it requires soul energy to fertilize it.
The man was a merchant who got a message from the village of Lumbar, he asked Arthur to deliver and eradicate the trombe that grew in the middle of the village.
" Are you also interested in being a traveling merchant?" asked the man before Arthur, he was Alan Rufus the richest merchant on the continent.
" Traveler?" said Arthur who was still confused.
" This badge will definitely be very useful to make you free to enter and enter cities on this continent, so you are free to trade anywhere" said Alan offered Arthur.
Arthur thinks long enough before receiving the silver merchant badge, Alan Rufus gives Arthur the silver merchant badge as a gift because Arthur is willing to help him
" In addition to being free to go in and out of the city and I can also trade, it sounds good." Arthur's inner self while receiving Alan's badge.
Arthur accepts the assignment given by Alan Rufus and they prepare, he follows Alan Rufus to the storage warehouse of magic potions that Arthur will deliver to the village of Lumber.
They lifted the box containing the potion onto Arthur's carriage, he was leaving tomorrow morning but Alan Rufus could not come along because of the many merchant affairs he was still working on.
