Kuro no Maou
Episode 25: Ils Village Tool Store
"There you are."
When I opened the wooden door with the season, I heard a man from behind the cluttered store.
A well-width middle-aged man sitting on the counter would be this Iles Village Tool Store owner named Kish.
"Hi, I'm a newbie adventurer who signed up for the guild earlier, but I thought I'd put together what I needed"
"Oh, yes, yes, if that's the case, we'll have it all.
My name is Quiche, and I'll be sure to keep you company. "
"Yes, my name is Chrono, thank you"
A good smiling shopkeeper, a sales smile in another world, seems to be the basic skill of a merchant.
"By the way, Mr. Chrono, could that bear..."
"Lily is taking a little nap right now, so please be as quiet as possible"
Lily did the Adventurer course in Sleep Learning, but she still travels to the world of her dreams after leaving the guild.
I had no choice but to come to the store.
"If you like, why don't I put you to bed in this chair?
"Sorry, that helps"
Sweet to the generosity of the store owner, grate Lily in the bench.
It's because you're a fairy, it's lighter than you look, Lily, but it's inconvenient to roll around the store with your back on, and if you move too much, Lily's going to have a bad dream.
"No, I'm surprised, does Mr. Chrono know Mr. Lily?
Lily the boulder, it's still here.
"Yes, I'm a friend, from now on I'll take care of Lily's cabin"
"Really? How the hell did you..."
"There were a lot of circumstances, and it would help if you didn't pursue them too much.
But I'm going to be doing an adventurer in the village of Iles and living for a while, so I'll be sure to take care of you in the future. "
"That's a thankful story, because it's not just the guild's job to support adventurers, and I can help.
Um, so you want to get ready to act as an adventurer, that's what you're saying?
"Yes, but I've never done anything like this before, and I don't know what to put together.
May I have a proper look?
I can't help but look good, so I'll be honest with you.
Even if they buy some extra stuff with this, well, I can't help it, there's no way I'm going to be over 20 gold.
"Of course it's good, but there's a set for new adventurers."
"That's... you have a lot of convenient stuff"
"Newbies have a lot of deficiencies in their items, so that's what I'm talking about, even here, trying to sell them with everything I need first."
"Oh, I see you're in good demand"
"Mm, Mr. Chrono, how do you know the word demand, is it born of a merchant? The language seems very polite, too - whoa, you shouldn't have done the extra prying.
As for this one, Mr. Chrono is an adventurer, and he shops with us, because that's enough. "
"Thank you"
"Now we have a new set for you, please wait a moment"
You call it a rookie set, that's another straightforward product name.
But I'm pretty sure it's the most necessary thing for me right now, honestly, that helps.
Apparently, shopping is going to be smooth.
"- Yes, two gold indeed, thank you for your purchase"
The rookie set I bought became the most expensive one.
It was not deceived, because it also included tents and the like necessary to go wild.
It's just that I don't want to have it, so I added a lot of things and it was at this price.
My most inspiring point about this purchase is that there are potion restorative drugs.
There was a collection of potion materials in the description of the quest, but I was impressed inside when I moved the actual item forward.
The potion in the thin vial is correctly as the RPG imagines, but the liquid that is the potion body is not a primary color such as green or red, but shades like gray and white and sports drinks.
The potion is a pill, but there are other ointments like ointment that should be called scratch pills.
You use this trauma that involves bleeding, or something, but if you're in battle, it's definitely faster to block the wound with 'physical complement'.
He also bought a set of two gold rookies, including horns and all of them.
I'm glad you have something of your own, this is my property now!
"Mr. Chrono, it's a pretty big load, but are you sure you want to take it home?
Speaking of which, I don't have any bags, let alone carriages.
The amount of luggage I'm sorry for holding, I can't help it with one body, but I'm a black wizard now!
"It's okay, I'll go in all of it -"
My shadow extends from my feet, from which my rookie set is taken in as I sink into the mud.
"This is... hey, I'm surprised, I didn't know you were even mastering spatial magic!
Guild cards are showing, so you knew I was a black wizard, but since I'm a newbie, it's natural to assume I wouldn't be on a big level.
Or is it called spatial magic? Here.
In the meantime, I know it's rare for a Rank 1 Wizard to master magic.
"Looks like Mr. Chrono has quite a magical arm.
Speaking of which, is the weapon available?
"Weapon, is it, well, that's once and for all"
There's a curse or something.
"Really? The weapons have a workshop on the outskirts of the village, so you should buy them there, they will take care of everything but magical related weapons.
I don't specialize in wands and magic books, but I'll take a look at some of them.
And we also do a weapons appraisal, so please let us know when you get it in the dungeon. "
"What does appraisal mean?
"Did you know that Mr. Chrono has a magical weapon?
"Yes, I've seen it several times, I've used it."
"Then the story is quick, our appraisal is about figuring out what kind of magic weapon has, how to use it, etc.
You don't have to specialize in anything other than magic, like the sharpness of the blade or the product, and you should ask them in the workshop. "
"I see... can an appraisal be a curse weapon?
"Of, is it a curse weapon? It's dangerous, but you can't deal with it until you know what kind of curse it is."
"Really, then..."
I take the curse out of the shadows, excited inside.
"Can you please appraise this?
Place a black daikon on the counter from the top to the end of the pattern.
Whether it is my magic or my grudge, there is a black aura bursting from my body like hot air.
"Ko, this... you have another hell of a thing..."
The store owner's face is feeling a little pulled, I knew this would happen if a normal person put a curse weapon in front of him.
No, is he done to this extent because he is a merchant?
"... Mr. Chrono, did you possibly override the curse with a curse, no, black magic?
"Are you saying override? It's not wrapped in black magic for your own use."
"Really, it's a big deal, it almost holds up the resentment of the curse... brilliant stuff, overwriting is the simple way to do it, but consumes the amount of magic for it, Mr. Krono seems to have a great talent"
"Really? Something I don't quite understand.
However, the curse weapon and my black magic seem to go well together, so you can do whatever you want with this one. "
"Excellent! Mr. Chrono, you are a very rare type of person who can handle a weapon of curse as it is.
If you like, I will give you a cheap weapon of curse that we have. "
"Ha, is that okay?
"A weapon of curse is, of course, a hassle for the user to just keep it.
Some things even have to be completely sealed, and if not treated regularly, it's not something I've figured out what kind of disaster would sprinkle, more importantly, it's bad luck.
I buy a lot of stuff because I'm in business too, but I really want to sell it off because it's cheap in every store. "
"Really? It would be very powerful if I could use it normally."
"You can't turn it into life, so no matter how strong you are, it's a real fall.
So, what do you say?
"I'm terrific, but it's time to go home today"
The sun is still shining, but when you leave the village around evening, you literally have to walk the dark night lane.
"Really? Are you sure the appraisal results are tomorrow?
"Yes, I'll come back tomorrow, if you can show me the curse weapon then too. Oh, and I'd like you to see another weapon."
"Yeah, go ahead."
Removed from the nostalgia was a shake of a small knife and black tact.
It's in the chest with the robe, I don't really know how to use the knife, I somehow know the tact, but I've never been over there to get it appraised.
"The price of the appraisal will be 2,000 silver per piece, are you sure?
I don't think that's a good idea, but appraising requires specialized technical magic, and there seems to be some material needed to activate a magic called 'catalyst', and it's not like this is the place to disappear or the price, it seems to be this expensive anywhere.
"Yes, please"
"Yes, I did, I'll see you tomorrow"
I left my weapon with the owner and stopped to leave the store.
I totally forgot, but all I'm dressed for right now is a pair of black robes with a pair of pants and the same gear as a pervert on his way to school.
What I needed right now was normal clothes, not magic weapons or items.
"Excuse me, where can I buy clothes and underwear?
I didn't say anything extra about the bread under the robe, but I asked the owner to work and pretend to be calm.
"Oh, if that's the case -"
When I get the most important shopping information, it's time for me to leave the store cool.
By the way, Lily was still asleep.
