19. Shopping for Lena? (26/12/2019)

Yua said this when she left the store.

"Lena, what are you buying?

"Huh?"

Youre asked me that and I overheard it. I'm not thinking about anything because I was only thinking about buying Yua's gear. But is it a bad idea that I'm not buying anything because I told you to go shopping with me?

"... could I have said that to make you buy the gear properly?

"As, well, do you have that, too? Because I was worried about Yua's gear..."

When I said that, Youre looked dissatisfied.

"... but thanks for worrying"

"Duh, you're welcome?

Then Yua suddenly thanked me, so when I accidentally replied, I became doubtful. But Yua seemed happy, so I thought that would be okay.

For now I came up with what I wanted when I was wondering if I needed anything too.

"Does Youre know where they sell pots, rind bowls, etc?

"Then there's something I know..."

That's what Yua said, but for some reason she was saying a little bit. I know it's okay because Yua tells me, but is that also why it's so hard to say anything?

"Just tell me where you know it, okay?

"... I get it. Follow me."

That's what Yua walked out on, so I followed him.

"Here, though."

That being said, the place Yua led me to was a somewhat dim feeling store in a place that was quite deep. A peek inside the store leaves a lot of stuff.

"It's a better store than it looks, isn't it?

"Well, maybe, but it's mostly used stuff,"

Well, does that mean Youre knows because they sell second-hand stuff? He said life in the orphanage was tough. Besides, what you were just saying was, maybe you were worried about telling me because you keep all the second-hand stuff?

"Really? Well, you're just gonna get what you want, aren't you?

That's why I went into the store.

That's how I bought the pan and rind bowl I was looking for. The purchase amount was one silver coin and five copper coins, and the money was given out by Youre. Well, there were times when Yur said he put it out and the remainder of this reward was just right, but I spent all of this money. Are you glad?

"I've spent all my rewards on this one, are you okay?

"It's okay. I'll just have to try again tomorrow. Besides, thanks to Lena, I got rid of foot pain, and I could buy socks, boots, and protective gear... But I just got it from Lena, so I'll do my best to give it back. So say anything you think you can help me with because it's what Lena needs, okay?

"Okay. Think about it, huh?

"Yeah, well, I'm going back, right?

"Be careful, okay?

"Yeah. Today, thanks, bye?

Yua said, leaving. I went back to the inn after I saw Yua like that become invisible.
