17. To the clothes store! (26/12/2019)

I'm glad I walked out onto the boulevard to go buy Yua's gear, but I realized I'd never bought any gear or anything like that. I bought a robe or something at Lorna's... and I was worried about what to do with that in mind.

"Don't you know a store that sells good protective equipment?

I don't know either.

"But where did you buy the previous protective equipment?

"It's..."

Then Yua slipped her gaze uncomfortably.

"Maybe you've never used protective equipment?

"That's not true. However, since Onoma and the others bought it on their own and were charged for that amount of money, until where they bought it..."

Have you ever used protective equipment on boulders?

"... I see"

Hmm? But did Youre say that his protective gear hurts fast or something? So maybe the party members were giving away the crude product and deceiving the money...... and that made me head over. That's my idea and there's no way to confirm it... But I don't think I'm wrong. Because Yua's party members are like that...

"Has Lena ever bought any protective equipment?

When they say that, I may not be wearing protective gear. Always this robe? Because I wore it......

"Have you ever bought one? I wear this all the time, and maybe I haven't seen a shield store since I came to this city."

"Really?... So what do you do?

"Uh-huh, why don't we just go buy some socks first?

"Yeah."

That's how we headed to Rhona's store.

When I arrived at Rhona's store, Yua looked a little strange.

"What's going on?

"No, I didn't expect you to come to a store on such a boulevard..."

He seemed a little distracted when he said. Maybe you've never been in a clothes store or something?

"Well, let's go in"

That's why I went inside the store.

"Oh, not Lena."

"Hello"

"You're with a girl today. What are you here to buy today?

"To buy socks"

"Socks are over here."

That's what he said and led me to a place with lots of socks.

"I think anything around here would be pretty much fine. Take your time and go, okay?

Having said that, Rhona turned to the customer who came in later. I dropped Mr. Lorna off like that, and then I turned to Youre.

"Well, I keep a lot of it, but what do we do?

Yua then looks at the bag he had in his hand and then at the socks he has a lot in front of him.

"Do you want something that's not as expensive and durable as possible?

"Wouldn't that be okay?

"Why?"

And Yua looked strange and asked.

"Because I'm buying it here, too, right?

With that said, Youre had an ambiguous look on his face for some reason. Why not? Don't you have any credibility? I thought I was a little depressed.

"In the meantime, at least three pairs, let's buy it, shall we?

"Ugh, yeah."

When I said that, Yua was nodding as she shook her head vertically.

Then Youre had a lot to worry about, so I finished picking out three pairs when I gave him a little advice and a few things to worry about. Well, when I say advice, I was worried about the length and the price, so it's better to stay warmer because it's going to get cold in the future. That doesn't mean it's that expensive, does it? I just taught...

Yua was surprised because she bought three pairs and five copper coins. I didn't even know what I was surprised about the boulder, but I think it turned out to be a good purchase. I remembered one thing when I thought of that.

"Ah, Mr. Rhona."

"What's going on?

"Don't you know a protective equipment store or a shoe store that Mr. Lorna knows?

"Then the store next door is?

"Huh? Really?

I was surprised not to think that the store next door was. I have come to Rhona's shop many times, but I have noticed that I do not know what store next door is. On second thought, I may not know anything about anything other than the store I tried to go to or where I was concerned......

"Huh? Maybe Lena, you didn't know?

Ms Lorna nodded because she asked slightly surprised at what I didn't know.

"Really... well, that's what the store next door is anyway. Well, it's my husband's shop, isn't it?

"Huh!? Mr. Lorna's husband works in the store next door?

With that said, maybe you never heard of Flora's father? Besides, I was a little relieved to think you had something because you didn't come out to talk about Flora, but you weren't saying that.

"That's right. It might depend on Lena, but if you want something, why don't you take a peek?

"Okay. I'll go."

That's what I said, I broke up with Mr. Rhona and headed to the store next door.
