That person shouted loudly, protecting his head as if he wanted to take cover from something. He rolled on the ground with a leaking groan as if he had been seriously hurt. Causing a commotion mixed question marks for many parties.
"W-what are you doing?!" shouted the fellow man while raising his weapon at me.
Yeah, just ignore it.
It's a good time to get out of here. Thinking so, I took the bag out of his hand and pulled the little boy (?) —who was still confused— it out of this place.
Some of his comrades tried to head off, but the person himself continued to move and shouted loudly. Disturbing colleagues.
That's why we get out at a fast pace.
“Awas only! We will not forget this know!” I looked back when I heard those screams, but it didn't seem like we were any further away, huh.
Using that seems like the quickest way. Huhuhuhu, Primal Curses are indeed amazing.
"Te-thank you very much.” He said after I returned the bag to him.
"Pulse. Equally," I replied while slightly observing him.
He is a little boy (?) with a height of about 130 cm and reddish brown hair and tan skin color mature. Besides, he's a man ...? Ti ... dad? Possibly women? Uhh, yeah, her face is completely neutral to the point that it's hard to determine.
It will be a little bit of a mystery.
However, it is not polite to ask other people about gender. So, let's just say her gender is a special kind, myself.
She seemed to mutter something as I kept thinking about this useless thing and once again thanked her with a little nervousness.
Is he afraid of me because of what I did before? It's not a big deal and I'm just using a very, very simple method, so maybe not. Might as well.
And yes, it's actually a form of thank you from me so there's no need to thank back so much as well. It's just a natural thing to do, isn't it?
Alright. Well, it's time to go and continue what I wanted to do before but ...
"If you can figure out what you want to do to this area?"
... Again, he made my step stop.
It wasn't an extraordinary thing in particular so I guess it's fine to be able to tell you what the truth is.
"Yes, I just want to buy some equipment."
"Can I help you?"
Hmm, yes, because he seems to know this city better than me then ...
"All right."
... I nodded and accepted the offer.
"Also, just call me Dirae."
"I-I'm sorry, I haven't introduced myself ..."
He was a little embarrassed. Raise his right hand and introduce himself. There will finally be a hint of her gender. But—
"... I'm Ova, Ova Mondo."
Ova' huh? So is she a woman? No, the name Ova is still a neutral name in my opinion. So special gender status still persists, 'does ...?
Whatever strange thoughts were raging in my head, I replied, "Yes, greetings. Ova."
"So .. what Miss Girae is looking for."
"Yes, I don't want to look for weapons something else like clothes, but ...."
"What's Miss Girae doing?"
"Why do you call me 'Miss'?"
Yeah, it's kind of annoying for me to know. I win often hearing the word come out of Mireille's mouth, but at EFO .. I think this is the first time in a normal conversation.
I saw Ova bow her head, linking her fingers as if it was hard to reveal the reason behind it until ...
... He chose to back off and not tell me.
"Yes, forget it. By the way, where are we going?"
That's right, today's special priority is to look for new clothes! Let's get ready for this adventure, myself.
"Wait a minute Miss Girae." Ova said as she looked to check whatever was inside the bag was not damaged or missing.
Yeah, let it go. Or that's what I wanted to do but—
"So, what does Miss Dirae want out of those clothes?" He began to ask with a small booklet in hand.
What will he do?! That's what I want to say but just answer this question first. I feel this is important.
"It's a bit unusual but yes, there are some aspects" I said before starting to explain.
One, it should be light equipment. If it's too heavy it will affect my speed of movement. Yes, the speed of motion is closely related to evasive ability (in addition to the ability of the player) and that is important to me. If I don't dodge, then I'll be done with this unexpected physical defense.
Two, the equipment must be strong and durable. Yes, although the equipment in the EFO will still be changed periodically to adjust the user's Power Level, but I want to have equipment that will not be destroyed in the middle of battle.
... Well, imagining that kind of thing actually happening is pretty scary, okay?
And lastly, it would be great if at least the color of the equipment could be postominated. Not a primary need, just my personal interest so this can be ignored if not possible.
"So it was a light piece of equipment ...," he murmured softly after hearing what kind of equipment I wanted before taking out a blackish-gray ball from inside the bag and handing it to me.
It's iron ore, isn't it?
"Is that weight okay?"
"Hmm? Well, it's pretty light so I think it's fine."
And once again, I saw Ova thinking for a moment before leading the way.
"alright. We better get there now."
And said so before turning left and I followed him.
I look around. The path we were going through was very quiet, completely silent as if the breath of life was beginning to leave where we were heading.
Well, I don't think this is just my illusion. I could see the slum as I walked with the number of gazes fixed on us growing.
Well, it's much darker and quieter. And considering the basis of the existing motives, the level of criminal activity in this place will probably be much higher than the previous place.
Alright. Just in case something might happen.
And ...
Tring!
... The bell rang as Ova opened the door in one corner of the building.
It is seen that there are no signboards above the house or glass display cases like on the main street of the city. Well, let's not do that kind of thing. This building itself does not even have windows, making it have the impression of being isolated from the world.
However, the gaze that I felt before began to fade after I was in this place.
Could there be something here?
And when I came in, I was treated to a surprise. I saw that some equipment, be it weapons, clothes, or accessories were placed neatly lined up on the wall. Besides, the variety is pretty amazing.
Starting from common weapons such as swords to something like mace, protective clothing made of metal or fabric, and normal accessories in the form of rings or just a hairpin are also found here.
Is this a hidden paradise? Moreover, cheap!
That's what I thought when I saw the price of these things. Maybe about 20-30% lower than what is on the main road?
"I guess who came turned out to be you, Ova," an old man's voice immediately sounded. "Oh? You brought someone else, who is he?" continued.
