Black Haired King

"... yes, next ~... what Count Arnold!?

A soldier in charge of getting in and out of King's Capital looks at me and sounds surprised. He seemed to know my face. Well, is it natural to be surprised because the Count uses a gate for general use without using a gate for nobility?

"I'm sorry. I was out on a little personal business and came back temporarily. I'm gonna have to ask you to do something."

"Yes. Count Arnold is fine, but what about the children who will be on the carrier?

"There's a village a little far from the king's capital, isn't there? I came to the King's Capital to shop with the kids."

Soldiers pounding on my story for a moment. Well, it's impossible for the Count to shop with a civilian child. It's what I do because I'm a former civilian.

Besides, a little while later, the soldier is nodding as I recall. Everyone who was in the King's Capital during that war knows what I call a village of the Dead Wall Squad. I guess I remembered that.

"... Now that's good. Let the children have this wooden plaque. It's a temporary pass. If you could give it back to me when I leave."

"Okay. Thank you for your time."

Finish the process and I'll move the carriage. I was able to get inside with Swiss thanks to an old horse who would move accurately on my instructions. We need to find somewhere we can keep the carriage.

The carrier was discussing what the kids would buy. I was going to buy the butt wooden sword, so I'll buy the other kids something about the same price. It's not fair to just buy a bat.

Then stop the carriage at the carriage yard a little off the boulevard and walk around the city.

The children are the oldest, 10-year-old boy, Dan, standing behind the children's first, and the second older, 9-year-old girl, Mimim, joins hands with Sil to follow me.

"Then I'll go to the weapons store to buy a wooden sword first. Everyone else should discuss what else they want to buy and where they want to go."

Children who respond well to my words. Watching these kids makes me feel like I want to go back to the realm soon. Helestia and Cecil, who haven't seen their faces in a while. Especially with Hellestia. I haven't been face-to-face in over two months. If you think maybe you're forgetting about me, you're about to cry.

I'd like to see you soon, but I kept walking without giving you that yawn, and I reached the weapons store. I decided to take only the kids I plan to buy here to the weapons store. It's dangerous inside with weapons and protective equipment.

Were you interested in coming with Bat, Dan, and then Terra came with me at an 8-year-old girl. A boy the same age as Terra to Sil and two boys close to his age. Then Mimim on Sil, the other girl the same age as Sil didn't seem interested in weapons.

The bats were trying to get serious, but I grabbed the root and headed for the wooden sword. Only Terra followed me closely.

"Look, pick one of these boxes"

A wooden sword that is tightly stabbed in a tall box. From that box Dan and Bat are pulling out the wooden sword and checking each one. In the meantime, Terra said...

"Is that good?

When I ask, I snort. What Terra had was a training spear. It's a little longer for Terra to handle, but it's made of the same wood as a wooden sword and would be great for beginner training.

If there's just a problem, it's something I can't teach you about spears. I don't know if it's as easy as holding it, but I've never held a spear and shook it, so I can't tell you. If Minerva were here, it would have been different.

"Hey there! I made up my mind about this!

With that in mind, the bat came to his side with a wooden sword raised with both hands. Looks like Dan picked a wooden sword that he thinks would suit him too. I loaned it from each of them and shake it lightly... yeah, that's enough for a kid to use in training.

I also get Terra's spear and head straight to the clerk. Dan and Terra tried to give the allowance their parents gave them, but they stop. I was going to pay for the bat originally, so two people would be happy to tell you that I would pay you the same. Keep paying. Leave the weapons store.

Outside, there are kids for waiting, and when I call them, they brighten their faces all the time and come closer. Then we take the kids to where they each wanted to go.

Many of the girls were grocery stores. I will buy each while everyone discusses what can be decorated in the room. Sil was mixed up in it, too, and he looked like he was having fun talking.

I'll take the kids out for dinner after each shopping. The kids also remained all excited about the food they couldn't eat in the village. That it was worth bringing.

It was around the evening that all the shopping was done, and we get in the carriage again and leave the King's Capital. Are the kids shaggy tired or sleeping, but the bat is excited or has been looking at the wooden sword the whole time.

I never thought of it at this time, but I never thought that this purchase of a wooden sword would cause any problems.
