Next day

I did my usual routine while it snowed and headed to the guild at the rendezvous point with Youre a little early. When I entered the guild, Yua stood and waited at the inhabitant, so I rang.

"Good morning, Youre"

"Ah, good morning, Lena"

"Did you wait long enough, maybe?

"That's not true. I just got here a while ago."

"Really?

"Yeah. Where are you going more than that?

It's Mr. Rock's shop.

"Uh, Flora's parents'?

"Yeah.... shall we go then?

"Yeah!"

That's how we headed to Mr. Locke's store.

Flora was rarely in the store when she arrived at Mr. Locke's store and went inside. Then Flora called our names as she was surprised to notice us.

"Is that it? Lena and Youre?

"Yeah. That's right, it's been a while, Flora"

"Hi, long time no see, Flora"

"Yeah! Didn't quite fit in recently, but you've been busy?

"Well, is that the place? 'Cause there's been a little bit of a lot going on, right?

When I said that and looked at Yua, Yua was nodding next door too. Well, mostly because you trained a lot for the return of Youre adventurers and stuff.

"It is.... So Lena and Youre here to buy something?

"I wanted gloves and I came to buy them, but is Mr. Locke here? Think."

"? Then there's a lot more to your mother's shop, right?

Flora said strangely when I said so. Well, I know what Flora's trying to say. If you want to use it normally, that might be fine, because using it when hunting demons can slip your weapon......

"I'll buy it at Rhona's, but I also need to sell it to Mr. Rock's shop."

"Really? I'll call your father for now!

So Flora disappeared into the back of the store. Then a while later, Flora brought Mr. Locke back.

"Father, I brought you here!

"Thank you, Flora. If that's good, I'll even shop at Mr. Lorna's, but if you have something to recommend, I want you to look out for it, okay?

"Leave it to me! I'll be ready by the time Lena and the others get here!

So Flora disappeared into the back of the store. Is it connected to the store next door somewhere because Flora disappeared behind the store? and turned his gaze toward Mr. Rock with that in mind.

"... My daughter said Lena's lady was calling but something happened?

"It doesn't mean something happened, but I want gloves... My hands are really cold when I'm out there."

……

When I said so, Mr. Locke silently took the product nearby.

"Is this what you say when you swing with a weapon and it doesn't slip?

Two types of gloves were offered that way. One was a commonly seen glove and the other was a long bag that seemed to cover up to the elbow. But the gloves I was offered seemed to be for adults or big.

"This is what it is. How big are our hands?

"... if it's cold and waterproof, this one will be silver coin 2 and this one will be 3."

One silver coin is expensive if it's a long handbag... If that's the case, it's normal. But... Oh, but if it's cold and waterproof, maybe it can be used when demons are dismantled or something? If I try to clean the material, I have to wash it with water or I can't go...

"... both pairs at a time. What about Youre?"

"Wow, I'm just like you, Lena."

"Okay. I'm going to measure the size and make it now, but I don't think it will take long. Wait till we can?

"If you're saying it won't take that long, I'll wait. Oh, but I might be at Mr. Lorna's store, okay?

"I don't mind."

"Well, then, please"

"Please"

"... what about color? Black, white and brown, but the price varies slightly depending on the color"

"Is it color...... What color do you think Youre good for?

"Huh? Uh..., I think Lena would look good in white, huh?

I wonder what color Yua would make it? I was a little surprised to hear you say a color that suits me just fine.

"I asked how many colors Yua would like, not the one that suits me..."

"Huh? Oh, I'm sorry!

I came to apologize as Yua blushed when I said that to Yua with a bitter laugh. I don't even have to bother to apologize.

"You don't have to worry about it. I'll make it white because Yua says white suits me. Because of this, and how about a matching color for Youre?

"Huh? Are you sure?

"? I hope Youre good?

"White, please"

Yes, we asked Mr. Locke to take our measurements, and when it was over, Mr. Locke disappeared into the back of the store, so we moved to Mr. Lorna's store.
