Chapter 140 - Why Are Those Guys So Mature

"Hey Kayn, is this the place?" Marcus asked.

"Mhmm, it should be it." Kayn said as he looked at a map in his hands.

"So? How do we proceed?"Anna asked with a quiet voice.

"What do you mean by that? Don't we just need to pick some items for that guy?"

"Marcus, please think before you talk." Anna rolled her eyes at him.

'If it were that easy, he wouldn't have given us such a valuable item to us.'

Staring at the ring that Kayn had on his finger, she knew that their job wasn't supposed to be easy.

An item that many consider an artifact, a ring of spatial storage.

Although the resources required to craft such a ring weren't that high compared to the effect it did, cause of his nature of being forbidden, the one who holds possession would be labeled as criminals that the mages of various academies would gladly accept them with open arms on their labs.

"Standing here wouldn't do us much either..." Kayn said as he hid his hands deeper into his cloaks.

"See? Even Kayn agrees with me."

"Alright..." 

Walking inside the shop, many various items came into their sight.

"Wow..." Anna and Marcus gasped in amazement.

They never thought that they who were called monsters and slaves would ever enter such a grand shop.

They were items that they only saw those rich mages carrying and others that they haven't seen before to begin with.

Compared to the dirty bakery that they went to buy the leftovers of a day ago, this place was like a palace in their eyes.

"Huh!? For such a small stone they want a whole 30 gold coins? Isn't that a rip off" Marcus complained upon seeing the price tag put in a mana crystal.

"If you got any complaints about my items, you are free to leave Si-"

Walking to them, a man with a mustache and a big belly said to the trio.

"Huh? What is a bunch of brats doing inside here? This isn't a playground! I don´t have the time to amuses brats such as you! Go away!" Honor waved his hand as he was chasing a bunch of dogs away.

Staring at Honor, Kayn pulled a piece of paper out of the ring of storage that Danzel had given him and showed it at him.

"Excuse us if we are wrong, but do you by any chance know something about this?"

"You guys are still here? I already told yo-" Mind sentence, Honor eyes widen up in shock.

Looking at all the similar patterns on the paper he couldn´t help but look at the brat in front of him.

`It can´t be that those guys are...´

"Who gave you this item?" Honor asked with a serious face.

A week has passed already when he sold those contracts to the union. 

Since the union served as the middle man between him and the customers, he had no idea who knew about the runed contracts.

Although today´s date was supposed for Danzel to send someone to collect and resupply him with runed contracts, it was still somewhat hard for him to believe that those kinds were it.

If he by any chance were to spill the beans without even realizing it, he would be done for in more than one way.

`There is no way that despisable guy sends a bunch of children to do such an important job! Those guys must be spies sent by someone else!´

"I ask you again, who gave you that..."

Looking at each other, the trio was confused as to why the man in front of them was so stressed out looking.

"Mister, you should know who gave us this, right?" Anna said tilting her head.

"Yes, we were told that you should know the one who made this paper! Don´t lie to us!" Marcus said as he pointed his finger at him.

`So they really are spies! I knew this day will come, but to think it will be so soon!´ Sweat formed though his forehead, while his eyes darted left and right trying to see if someone else was watching.

"Oh, right a forgot..." Kayn put his hand into his cloak seeming to try to find something.

`Is he trying to pull out a dagger? Are they going to threaten me!?´ Honor though horrified.

Preparing himself mentally to face such danger, he walked a step to the front.

`They are just a bunch of brats, they shouldn´t be that difficult to handle!´

"Here Mister, he told us to give that."

"Hmmm?" Seeing the similar handwriting of his, Honor suddenly halted.

"Isn´t this the list that I wrote...?" Mumbling to himself, he blankly looked at the kids.

"Why didn´t you show me that instead of that thing, for damn's sake. Follow behind me, I got the stuff there." Honor said, trying to sound refined to hide the embarrassing few seconds a moment ago.

Following behind Honor, the trio arrived in the room where Danzel and Merrick talked things out with Honor.

But compared to the other time, the room was filled with boxes of various weapon and armor pieces.

"Seat wherever you find, that was the only place I could store that huge order of this man..." 

Nodding their head, they seated together with Kayn in the middle.

"Are those all the things that we got to bring back?" Kayn said with a frown

Seeing the amount of stuff with some weapons being even taller than Anna, Kayn severely doubted that they were fit for the job.

And Honor was the same opinion.

"I am not sure if I am supposed to ask that, but how are you guys planning to carry all this stuff back to the knight? I haven´t seen you guys coming from carriage either." Honor said.

At that time when he asked how they will transport the goods, Danzel just told him not to worry about it and that he has a way.

At that time though him being stressed out from having to host a murderer in his store, he just agreed without giving it much thought at all.

Why should he care if the other party said it´s fine? Even if it end up not working out, he wasn´t the one to be blamed.

But even he got curious of how Danzel would bring all those items without a soul knowing.

Since he was already receiving customers who he suspected to be spies aiming to find the gold mine that was the rune contracts, bringing out such quantity of goods would never go unnoticed by the watchful eyes aiming for a clue.

Shaking his head, Kayn pulled his sleeve and showed the ring that Danzel gave him.

"We will use this."

"Hmm, the ring? What do you mean by..."

Without explaining any further, Kayn stood up and went for one of the crates of weapons.

`It´s faster if I show him´ Kayn thought as he touched the crates with his palm.

And the next moment, the whole crate vanished into thin air without creating the smallest sound.

Honor who saw that stood up with opened mouth, staring in shock.

`It can´t be! The item that this Danzel stole from the Berums army wasn´t his equipment! But a whole damn [Ring of Spatial Storage]´ Honor thought in shock.

Giving someone who wasn´t a part of the army or of the nobles class such an item, meant either that the man was either a powerhouse on his own or someone the kingdom valued.

Thinking about Danzel's occupation, he could somewhat guess why the army had given him the ring. 

But he was damn sure that they didn´t expect him running with it.

While Honor was daydreaming of what he has just seen, Kayn continued gathering the crates before nothing else was left to pick up.

Seeing the clear room and then back at the ring, Kayn had a surprised look.

"To think such a small object could hold so much stuff in it without any difference of the wight..."

Putting his hand under his sleeve he looked at Honor who was still trying to proceed with what just happend.

"Is there anything else for us to bring to him?" Kayn asked.

As if just woken up, Honor shook his head with a bitter smile on his face.

"No, that´s everything that this guy requested me." Honor said while glazing at them with a serious expression.

"Enough of that, you guys got the supplies?"

Nodding their head, the trio opened their bags and let the runed contracts fall to the table messily.

"That´s what he told us to give you."

After confirming that those were the right stuff, Honor stored them into a luxurious box before he guided the trio back to the storefront.

"Alright, since people might be watching we will pretend that I will be throwing you out alright? Act like...well, kids." Honor scratches his head as he just realized that all this time he was speaking with a bunch of brats.

`Aren´t children supposed to be more carefree? Why are those three so mature?´ Honor thought before shaking his head of such thoughts.

After `throwing´ the trio out of his store and them `giggling´ as if they did something mischievous.

Kayn, Marcus and Anna made their way back while carrying a whole armory worth of equipment into their fingertips.
