Chapter 9 Castle Town Diana

The third day of training.

A day has passed since I taught Hal magic. Thanks to Gobuos achievements, the lecture I was worried about went smoothly, though not quite as smoothly as the martial arts. Now, Haru has grown to the point where its okay to use elementary level magic in succession. If she keeps this up, her job level will increase by the end of the day.

==============================

Yeah, its good. It looks like she had been practicing in the shadows privately, her hand-to-hand combat has risen unnoticed. If Harus job was a brawler, she should have leveled up a long time ago. Well, if that skill is displayed as , that is.

By the way, Harus status can be viewed at any time by the power of the skill Uncrowned Master and Disciple which links me and Haru as a master and disciple. Farewell, your duty is over, Sacred Stone. However, Haru cant see my status. That damn Haru, she was wanting to see my status the moment I explained this. Being curious is a good thing. However, even a master has privacy. Even I ask for permission to see her status.

This skill also bestows another benefit on Haru, but I will explain it when she raised her job level.

Are you going out to town again?

Yeah, things are going better than I expected. Its a lot earlier than planned, but Harus basic skills are building up reasonably well. Today were going to change things up and train outside.

Ah, training outside!

Harus eyes are shining brightly. Thats right, were going to train outside. Well, except when I went shopping, we basically trained around the house. I can understand the feeling of being interested in a townscape and a world that you havent seen yet. Maybe her feeling is like a young person just before traveling abroad?

The country we are live in, Magic Kingdom Adelheit, is a country thats excelling at handling magic as the name suggests. Since it is inland, it was hard to obtain fish dishes. But, thanks to the development of high-performance magic items, it is relatively more convenient than other countries. The resources are also quite abundant.

It is a peaceful country that is not so big to be called a big country, but its big to be called a small country, and the Kings policy is always neutral. There is an army in such a country, and the army is surprisingly strong. Thats the Magic Knights, or rather, their leader is the strong one.

Even if it doesnt get caught in the fires of war, monsters will still spring forth outside the citys barrier. If you leave it alone, the road will be destroyed and the carriage will be attacked, so those who subdue them will always be necessary. The work of the Magic Knights mentioned above includes cleaning these monsters. However, their scope is concentrated on ensuring peoples safety. So, they cant go to dungeons to collect valuable materials or go to monsters habitat area unless its an emergency.

That stage is for those who dream of getting rich quickly, Adventurers. They go out of their way to dangerous areas where ferocious monsters roam, taking a risk to defeat bounty monsters, or making a living by collecting designated materials. There was no such a profession like an adventurer, but since who-knows-when, there are people like warriors or magicians lumped together and being called so.

In the guild, which is their work agency, it is possible to decide a suitable job for those who havent do so. This place is one of our destinations today. Well, theres a place we need to go to before going there.

Shishou, why did you build your house deep in the mountain? Isnt that inconvenient? There almost only animal trail in the forest, and its an hours walk just to get down to the city.

Just as we were about to leave, Haru started talking about such things.

It would be dangerous if it exploded in a crowded city.

That might be true explosion!? Is that house can explode!?

Its okay, it rarely happens.

It doesnt sound okay at all

Haru is looking at the house with concern, but it is safe unless dangerous work is done. Its more likely to happen if you make that woman angry, but Ill shut up about it.

Haru, you seem to be fine with it, even though its inconvenient. Canon seems to have gotten used to it now, but when he came here for the first time, he was exhausted and fell in front of the door.

Im used to training in the mountains. This much is a piece of cake.

You sure are sturdy. Well, lets go.

Ye~s.

After that, Haru descended while shadow-boxing. And by the time we arrived in town, her hand-to-hand combat skill level was raised by one.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The castle town of Adelheid, Diana. As you can expect from a town under the royal castle, it is large in size and has a beautiful, well-developed townscape. Especially in the commercial district, there are a lot of people coming and going, and the lively voice of merchants can be heard here and there. Ahh, I hate crowds.

Wow, this place is always bustling! Shishou, that shop sells fish. But its expensive!

I think there is still a stockpile of foodstuffs that we bought last time. More importantly, that way, cmon.

I pointed a certain store while grabbing the naughty little girl, who was about to dash off, by the scruff of the neck.

Armor shop Bristly Beard ?

Haru can speak the language of this world and can read the letters as a side effect of the different world transfer. The sign of the store is also here. Well, if she couldnt do it, she wouldnt be able to read books or having a conversation in the first place, so its too late pointing it out now.

That shop sells weapons and armor for adventurers. First, look at your clothes and equipment. Keep using those clothes is inconvenient, right?

Ehehe, its easy to move though

Currently, the clothes that Haru has are one tracksuit, one good-looking outfit that seems to have been provided from the castle, and two athletic clothes thats easy to move around. Since she does training every day, she washes and dry it every time it gets dirty. She had been using it for the past few days by using every trick, but thats not good.

Shishou, is this store your top recommendation?

Yeah, all the items for sale are first-class items, and you can even make custom-made items. Above all, because the shopkeeper is a stubborn person, maybe thats why the shop is so quiet and easy to enter around here. There arent many armor shops that are run by level 5 blacksmiths that are this good.

Shishou, please dont talk about that in the store even by mistake.

Its okay.

Clank clank.

I opened the door without minding about Haru. Then, the doorbell made a lovely sound. Inside the store, swords, armor, etc. are displayed in a narrow space, and some of the weapons randomly placed in the big barrels can be seen here and there. How should I put it, its so narrow that it feels like being buried by the products. The path to the counter is narrow. They should have kept it a bit organized.

Welcome, aint it Deris-danna? Do you have business with boss Gan?

The one who greeted me over the counter using a fake Kansai dialect was Anita, the poster girl. Shes a weirdo who used standard language when she was a child, but changed her speech the moment she became a merchant.

Theres that too, but I have to buy some clothes for this girl

Wow, thats a huge amount of armor! Are these all real?

Those are real, so dont touch them carelessly, okay? Its stacked in a perfect balance, so it will collapse if you are careless.

Ahaha, Ill be careful.

Good grief. So, Anita.

Anita?

Deris-danna brought in a woman!? This aint a joke!

Oi.
