Legend

For Lanigs and Therese, looking around at Anesis would have been unexpectedly interesting.

Eventually, as he was out of town, he dragged Ray and Bruit around and showed his face to various stores.

As such, the sun goes down quickly only in winter, and when it gets dim, it's time to talk about breaking up.

Shouldn't Ray be back at the Duke's residence for a moment for all of us? Though I thought so, Ray is the only one staying at the Duke of Keller's mansion in the first place, and the rest of us have a proper mansion.

More than that, it was not necessary for everyone to return to the Duke of Kelp mansion.

Most importantly, if you have business to meet Elaine or Liberté, it was different, but no one is there.

"Oh, wait a minute. Before I do, there's just one more store I'd like to stop by, okay?

Now, then dissolve... when Lanigus inadvertently says such a thing.

If I tried Lanigus, there was something desperate about the tone because if I missed this one, I would rarely come out of the city like this again.

Nevertheless, it doesn't mean I'll never be able to come out of the city again.

Still, imitations such as walking around instead of moving in a carriage with people who feel like it can probably not be done.

You felt Lanigus' thoughts like that, Ray... and contrary to Lanigus, he opens his mouth like he had no choice but to be out of the city all by himself at any one time.

"So? What store do you want to go to? I'm telling you, we don't have much time."

"I'm sorry.... Actually, I'd like to stop by the weapons store for a moment."

The words were unexpected not only for Bluit, but also for Ray and Therese and those around them.

The only exceptions would be Lanigus' escorts and escorts.

They didn't look particularly surprised because they knew Lanigus' taste.

"Surprisingly, I can't believe Lanigus is into weapons stores."

"Really? I'm pretty confident in the sight of a weapon."

Lanigus smiles confidently and tells him so.

It's not a strength or anything, but let those around you know that you really think so from the bottom of your heart.

"Okay. Do you want to go with me? Even if we keep consulting here, it won't change that much. If you think about it, it's quicker to get to the weapons store."

In Ray's words, the last place a line should go was decided.

"Heh... they're all good weapons"

"Huh. I thought it was just a Taoist nobleman, you know what I mean"

Dwarf, the shopkeeper, says as impressed by the words Lanigs grunted inside the weapons store.

If normal, having such a mouth over a nobleman is tantamount to committing suicide.

But Dwarf, aware of that, did not change his tone about Lanigus.

I guess that also has a lot to do with the fact that this Dwarf has a deep relationship with the Duke of Kelevel family.

This shop, which is an arms dealer but also a blacksmith workshop, has this Dwarf hit weapon put up for sale.

Naturally Lanigs must have come to this store after finding out about it too.

With his eyes shining so bright that Ray has never seen them before, long swords, daggers, spears, halvards... and all sorts of other weapons, he listens to Dwarf, and if he says anything to it, he talks to Dwarf again.

The way it was, clearly unlike the usual Lanigs, the three Rays, Bruit and Terez, who see such Lanigs, were blatant.

"Hey, I'll ask you once.... That's Lanigus, isn't it? Could it have been my mistake? You think you're switching to someone else?"

"Definitely Lanigs, and I didn't swap with anyone or anything.... To be honest, I've never seen Lanigs like this before, so I'm surprised."

It was Bruit answering Therese's question that way, but it hasn't been a month since Bruit actually got to know Lanigs.

Not to mention that it wasn't a strange story, even if Lanigs had an unknown side of Bruit, than we met a few times per se.

"I hear you're interested in weapons... quite a bit."

As Ray put it, those who are aristocrats and hobby about collecting weapons are not that uncommon.

Nevertheless, it is difficult to have such a taste unless one is somewhat wealthy among the aristocrats, as weapons naturally have a corresponding price.

... Besides, when it comes to hobbies that cost money, the hobby of collecting Ray's magic items costs more money than collecting weapons.

In that sense, Ray's taste is obviously more unusual.

"If you look at this long sword, the reflection of light, you can see how sharp it has a slashing flavor. Turchese technology?

"Do you understand that much? But it's not exactly Tarschez, it's Tarschel-based technology."

"Turshell system? But that's basically for spears..."

"That's right. But it wasn't decided that you couldn't apply it to a long sword, was it?

There's some sort of jargon flying around, but to Ray... no, I don't totally know what exactly you're talking about to the others.

No, I somehow know what that means in nuances, but I don't even know if that fits. Something like that?

"What do we do?

"Even if they say so... in that way, shouldn't we just leave it alone for a while? Whatever we say, I don't think it's worth it."

That's what Therese tells Ray to say.

Bruit also snorted silently at Terez's words like that.

Ray, who was watching the two of them like that, eventually decided it would be easier to leave them alone, and this one snorts again.

"Hey, I just want to ask you two. What good is a weapon in self-defense?

That's what Terez says inadvertently, and he turns his gaze to Ray and Bluitt.

Why did you do that all of a sudden? I thought Ray, but Bruit nods as convinced by Therese's words.

"Even if there's an escort or something, in case you think about it, you should still have a weapon for when it's time. Not a long sword or anything like that, but someone who can hide it."

"... is that what it is?

There are quite a few aristocrats Ray knows, but I haven't seen much like having a weapon of self-defense.

Most importantly, it is only because this seemingly does not possess a weapon, and there are few aristocrats who actually possess a weapon for times of need.

"That's what it is. So, it was a self-defense weapon. It's like something you can hide, so basically it's a small thing. It's easy to say, dagger or something."

A weapon you can hide.

The first thing that came to Ray's mind when he said that was Nebra's eyes on his waist belt.

Wearing slightly larger clothes makes it easy to hide them, and most importantly, with magic, they can produce endlessly.

Not to mention, the candle disappears back into magic in about a few minutes, so it was the perfect weapon to hide.

(Well, it consumes a lot of magic, so I don't think it can be used for Teles, and even if it can be used, I'm not going to give this away because it's a specially ordered item)

Like Bühne, I didn't mind lending it to him if he belonged to a party together, but Therese isn't.

... Although Byune, who seems to be able to use Nebra's eyes more effectively than Ray's, was unable to use them due to lack of magic after all.

"A dagger.... What do you think of Ray? I just can't trust Bruit for a second."

"Hey!"

To Therese's words, a blue-it that looks unsatisfactory.

To be honest with you that if you try to bluish it, you wouldn't have that say even though you recommended it in the corner.

But Therese opens her mouth, looking at such a bluight.

"'Cause Blueit's a lot of fights in life, isn't it? Besides, there's a big difference in stature from me. I don't care if you buy one of those blue-its recommended..."

"No, but I don't think you're wrong about Bruit's recommendation."

That's what Ray tells him, so as to block Terez's words.

In fact, if weapons and purposes for self-defence are limited, there will be very few types of choice.

There's no way you can imitate things like carrying a giant halvard to protect yourself... and most importantly, if you're a Therese who doesn't look like you're working out, such a heavyweight weapon would even be difficult to lift if you do poorly.

Above all, given that he confines himself to weapons that he can hide, he naturally also has fewer weapons to choose from.

"But you do. When it comes to being able to hide it outside of a dagger...... knuckles or something? No, it's not here."

"Hey, I don't think that's the point of letting Therese have it."

"... what kind of weapon is that?

Didn't you care that he told you there was no point in letting yourself have it, Therese glances at Bruit with a tough glance, then asks Ray.

Bruit knew knuckles probably because he still had a lot of fights all over the city.

"Right... plainly speaking, that's like simplifying your armor. It's got four places to fit your fingers, and it's a weapon like gripping and hitting."

Therese gives a disgusting look to the direct word of beating.

I know the armor, so I could understand what kind of weapon is a knuckle in Ray's description.

I understand... if you ask me if I can use it, I will tilt my neck.

"You don't like it a bit."

"Really? The knuckle is made of metal, so even if it doesn't have a blade, it just sticks the pointed part of the metal into the opponent's body, which gives it a lot of power. And since it's not a blade, it's not like killing someone with a single blow."

"No, I don't mind that kind of noise"

"... I don't think it's any more noisy than a guy with a dagger or some kind of blade. When that happens, what else... like shorter blow arrows?

If that's a blow arrow about ten centimeters long, it wouldn't be hard to carry with you if you were Therese, who often wears dresses.

If it was such a blow arrow, it would naturally be an end disposable blow arrow once released... but if you think of it only as a hidden weapon to protect yourself at times of need, it should never have been a bad thing.

"Blow arrows...... hmm, blow arrows. It might be better than a weapon like a knuckle... hmm..."

As for Therese, it still seems like the blow arrow is better for him than the knuckle Ray described, but it's also true that I can't imagine the sight of myself using the blow arrow.

"What else... what about the guy with the copper strand connected to the thin strand? I don't know if this is a kind of morningstar, either."

"No, that's not Morningstar, is it?"

I would immediately deny that Bruit is a Morningstar, but if you ask me what other weapon...

"So it's stranded copper as it is? Anyway, a little chain copper would be a lot of places to hide it, and I think it's a pretty effective weapon at times. But I think it's going to take a lot of training because it's going to be very difficult to handle."

Ray has never used that hand weapon, so I don't know exactly how difficult it is.

However, it was easy to understand that if Elaine saw Mirage being whipped and used, the chain-splitting copper would have the same difficulty handling it.

"I think it suits me better than blowing arrows or something."

"I think it's hard to use... well, if Therese thinks that's okay, why don't you give it a try? Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to sell to this store."

Weapons sold in this store… Most of the weapons in the store are commonly used, like long swords and spears.

Some weapons are like hammers, but that's really only a little bit.

I guess a weapon with few people to use is still that hard to sell.

Beyond that, if I wanted a weapon like chain-split copper, I needed to order it directly and make it instead of buying it for sale in the store.

"... I knew I'd turn it into a dagger. You seem to have a lot less trouble over there."

You thought it would be troublesome to bother making it, Therese said, and with Ray and Bruit's advice, you buy something that seems easy to use from one of the many daggers.

It should be noted that while Ray, Terez and Bruit were talking, Lanigs kept discussing weapons with Dwarf.
