Kuro no Maou

Episode 168: Seeking a Robe

Are you a mercenary in the war? After lunch at a pasta based noodle restaurant run by a strong oak with such splendid scars carved on his face that he was about to hear about it, we headed off to shop for gear, which is scheduled for the afternoon.

"There are too many different stores, don't wonder where to come in from"

Once again, across the square, the adventurers' arms stores, tool shops, blacksmiths, and monstrous magic equipment (magic items) specialize in a narrow shopping district.

There are no stores like those used by ordinary people, but simply the number of adventurers is not comparable to that of the local villages, after all, there are still many people crossing the street here.

I'm not used to the crowd much more than being Japanese on a boulder, so I don't have a knack for getting flushed.

There are so many different types of stores lined up that I'm likely to see, and for me with no advance information or tourist guide materials, I worry as per the dialogue as to where to start.

With so many people, there will be more bad guys for that matter, and I'm sure there will be stores in this city that will fool stupid new adventurers as well.

"Chrono, look - those robes are adorable!

Shiny and shiny at my feet, Lily, and at the end of her gaze was Moffmoff's white dress-style robe adorned the store.

Besides, it's the perfect size for toddlers and Lily if you put it on, should I even say fate from now on?

"That shop apparently specializes in magician robes"

"Well, let's have a look"

Whatever it is, it is a party composition totally ignored by the adventurer Theory: the three magicians.

My 'Element Master' has no business in stores dealing with boneless armor that can be seen on the other side, beyond the absence of swordsmen and warriors who work in the avant-garde.

Even so, I'm the only one who needs new protective gear so far that has lost 'Devil's Embrace (Bafomet Embrace)'.

If you're a magician robe specialist, you'll find the new black robe I'm looking for.

I slipped ahead and dived into the door of Fix & Fica, a magician's robe specialty store, as I leaped my chest to meet some of the protective equipment I hadn't seen yet.

By the way, Lily didn't arrive obsessed with the white rabbit robe in the store.

"There you are."

A middle-aged female clerk sitting at the counter glances at me with a voice that's not so welcoming.

She had a fine tall nose like a witch painted in a fairy tale illustration and dropped her gaze again on a hardcover book that she had a sharp eye for, but was not interested in me as a guest.

Seeing what you haven't said, it'll mean you can look around on your own.

I walked around the store boasting more space than I thought because I didn't originally expect such a loving response.

From what I've seen, robes in white, ash, black and monotone colors make up nearly half of it.

I have a robe on display in a mannequin replacement person shape, but would this, if I told the clerk, provide me with a different size?

What a thought, slowly look around at the different types of robes.

Unlike the tool shop in the village of Iles, most of the products on display bear a price tag.

I'm not even going to negotiate a price, so how can you have a grand dry customer service attitude? No, that witch-style aunt is probably the vegan one.

"What do you say?

To the lid, Fiona, standing beside me, asks.

"It's not an eye-catching wax, so you're not sure you just saw it."

There doesn't seem to be any luxury items here that have magical defensive effects that I can feel, so later the robe's material changes its defenses, its resistance to attributes, or its properties.

From what I've seen, nearly half of them use monster furs, skins, etc., and I can't get a rough idea of the characteristics without knowing the nature of the monster on which they originated.

"I'll ask if you have a robe for black magic."

"I don't think it's going to be a big deal at this store's grade."

You can't say that to me, Mr. Fiona, even if you think about it.

Please, the clerk didn't hear me. I sweated cold inside and headed to the counter.

"Excuse me."

"What?

Guillaume, a female clerk who turned to me with a sharp eye that seemed to hear a phonetic sound.

Yeah, this guy is a simple apron with a store name logo on it, but wearing witch gear like Fiona must make him the perfect evil witch.

With all that disrespect, I'll just ask you what I'm looking for.

"Do you have a robe called 'The Devil's Embrace (Bafomet Embrace)'?

I wore it out in the Cyprus war, and I'm a dead partner now that I was stabbed in the todome by Fiona's "Golden Sun (All Soleil)," but I got the same one if I could -

"Don't be silly, Rank 1 looks good on your apprenticeship robe."

A hell of a curse just flew in.

At the tip of her finger with a cold eye, she said, "Freshmen!" and a simple black robe with a lot of complaints.

"Um, I was wearing the 'Devil's Embrace (Bafomet Embrace)' before, so I'm looking for a new one, don't you know the store I'm dealing with?

This witch aunt doesn't seem to be going to sell it to me even if she has a robe, so I'm going to change it to another question.

"Were you wearing it before? Well, you, nobleman's bong bong or something, then you'll have your rich dad take you to the 'top’ shop, and you'll have the ‘awesome magic gear' you're looking for."

It is a tremendous dislike, but I am not even a resident of this world rather than a nobleman bonbonbong, I am completely unrelated to blood muscles, etc.

But if you're going to work hard to interpret her dialogue, it means that there's a 'top’ store, or a store in the upper compartment, there's a 'Devil's Embrace (Bafomet Embrace)'.

No, you can't, you need a proper identity, a passage note, or special permission to enter the upper compartment.

It was Guild headquarters who arrived in Sparta and received compensation for the situation and emergency quest, but Arre was given a one-time special treatment by the Spartan government.

The only way I can make it to the upper division with dignity as an adventurer is to rank it up to Rank 4.

"You, if you want gear like that witch of a twat, don't just go back upstairs, it's just the guild and the school that comes this way, I didn't say it in Ijiwal, because unknown bongs like you are easy to get your eyes on bad guys"

Hihihi, and ask an aunt who makes evil mockery like a bad people rep., who cares less.

"Is the equipment she's wearing awesome?

By her, I mean Fiona, of course.

Sure, you think that witch gear is one of those dishes I made in my graduate production at the Elysion School of Magic?

Normally, they produce magic equipment (magic items) and the like in co-productions, but when Fiona's lonely memories of collecting, producing, and doing the material by herself are still stuck in the eye, I'm impressed to hear a painful episode for a tea drink.

"You don't have to appraise it. At first glance, you can almost tell what the array looks like. It still plants something in the lining besides the decorative feathers of the Dark Bird (Blackbird) on the Naruto silk (Abyss silk).

If that witch hadn't been your escort, she'd be an active Rank Four Adventurer. "

I don't know, but apparently I could understand that they use amazing materials.

And then I also found out that they think it's a relationship between Fiona being hired as my escort in noble Bombon.

"Well, there's an obsession fairy wearing a bear rabbit kid's robe outside our house. The enchantville road is probably, but who could have worn the children's clothes?"

What's a bear, not a rabbit? No, more than that.

"I'm the one who gave it to you. If you're complaining, tell me."

"You're really in good shape, you know, it's noble road music to give such a superior gift to your favorite animal (pet) here, Hihihi"

They're coming with a cock to think Lily's my pet on the boulder.

"She's not an animal (pet), she's my precious companion"

"Buddy? Hihi, is that the fashion? Well, it's as good as you can spoil it."

I must first explain to this man that I am not a luxury yarrow who is interested in adventurers with beautiful escorts and cute pets on aristocratic roads.

However, only the Rank 1 Adventurer asked for an item that did not deserve a minute, which is why in the first place.

Well, for me, I can't have any idea that the 'Devil's Embrace (Bafomet Embrace)' I'm used to wearing is an image of extra luxury, but I guess it just seems that way from someone else like her.

I can't help it, originally I can't afford much in terms of money, I don't know how much the luxury 'Devil's Embrace (Bafomet Embrace)' actually costs, but I'm sure I don't have the money to buy it.

Let's do a quest here and accumulate money before buying expensive items.

Until then, yeah, can I have that freshman magician apprentice robe?

"That, can I have it?

When I indicated my willingness to buy the robe she had pointed out earlier, I had a slightly surprising feeling in her thin eyes.

"Heh, how greenhouse-grown are you to honestly ask about Baba's dislike?

"Nothing, I'm not noble or anything, I'm just a Rank 1 adventurer."

She pulled into the back of the store to get her robe.

Soon after less than a minute, she returned with a black monochromatic robe one size larger than the stuff on display.

"10,000 clans"

Compared to the price tag, I was offered an amount that was not discounted by a single clan, and I made a huge effort to give out a gold coin and stopped.

One gold coin earned in this village of Iles was made in Daedalus, and this Daedalus gold coin, which symbolizes a dragon, will never be cast more than it was occupied by the Crusaders.

I thought I would never bother to let go of a memorable gold coin, and decided to pay for it with 10,000 clan gold coins that I received as a reward for my emergency quest.

"Maido"

I weave a robe on the spot, listening to a merchant-like word, not a witch.

It's not uncomfortable to touch, but it's not far from that feeling that integrates with the body of The Devil's Embrace (Bafomet Embrace).

Speaking of which, I didn't feel the heat at all wearing an array during the early summer season, but this naturally only covers my whole body and makes me fever.

Still not unbearable, I don't show the wind I particularly cared about, I just try to walk away saying I'm done for, but I stepped back and asked.

"Um, how many robes are there?

Thirty-seven thousand clans.

Are you going to do that?

It is a hesitant price to buy now.

"I'll come and buy it when I get to Rank 2"

"Hihi, don't expect me to wait."

That's how I left the store with a mean Baba gaze on my back.

Now, the weapon is next, but it's impossible to have both a wand equivalent to 'Black Barista Replica' and a sword for the Devil's Sword (Sword Arts), which means I'm rank one, and an absolute lack of funding.

I decided to leave the store with Fiona and take her to strip Lily, who has the rest of her heart on her razor robe, to go for an arms store all the way.
