Chapter 203

Before the Departure 3

After leaving the jewelry store, we looked for a smithery or store that dealt mainly with weapons.

"Onii~chan."

"That place~"

"N? Ah, you are right. Let's try going there then."

""Yea!""

Allen and Elena found an authentic-looking store, so when we entered it, various weapons that were lined up in the store interior came to view.

"So many kinds~"

"Lots~

"Indeed~"

They had not only weapons like swords, daggers, bows, spears, and axes, but even armor and protectors.

"W, welcome!"

"Sorry for intruding."

"What might you be looking for?"

When we entered the store, a vigorous young man appeared from further inside.

"Do you deal with swords with blunt blades here?"

"Blunt blades? Sorry, we don't sell those. Ah, but…"

The young man told me that they don't sell what we wanted, but he then started hesitating and his eyes swam around.

Looks like he has an idea~

"But, what is it?"

"The swords I… the swords I made…"

"The swords you made?"

"Yes… Boss often tells me that my swords are still 'dull' so…"

The young man seemed to be a blacksmith apprentice and told me in a low voice that the dull blades he makes might be close to what I need.

It might be quite difficult for him to say that the swords he makes are dull swords that "can't cut". Despite that, he responded to a customer's requirements.

"Would you be able to show them to me?"

"The sword I made? Err, wait a moment please. I will go confirm with Boss!"

The young man ran back to the inside of the store.

Well, he probably can't sell the sword he made on his own, so he needed to confirm first.

"Is it you? The one who wanted a blunt sword?"

After a while, the young man returned together with a middle-aged man. This person is most likely the Boss.

"Rather than blunt, I want a sword with a dull blade. A sword that children could practice with."

"Ah, I see. A practice sword, huh. So that's why a blunt sword? In that case, this fellow's swords would be perfect."

"I'm not sure whether they will be perfect, but can I take a look?"

"Well, I'm fine with that.——Mike, bring all there is."

"Y, yes!"

The young man——Mike-kun, rushed inside the store once again.

"Right, right, customer. My apprentice strikes and redoes the swords many times over, so they won't be very strong."

"Well, even if they won't be usable in a battle, won't it be fine as long as they can be practiced with?"

"Yeah, there won't be any problems then. By they way, by children, did you mean these two? You are starting with them quite young~"

"They seem to be interested in swords, so I thought of letting them get the feeling for it."

"Certainly… they do seem very intrigued."

"Indeed."

Since a while ago, Elena and naturally Allen, have been going around and staring at the weapons in the store.

"Allen, Elena, looking is fine, but don't be touching it now, it's dangerous."

""Yess~""

I got a reply back when I cautioned them, but they showed no signs of coming back to me.
