My 【Repair】Skill Became an Almighty Cheat Skill, So I Thought I’d Open Up a Weapon Shop
Episode 426: Love, Friendship and Corruption
The arms dealer's job was as busy as ever, but I still felt exceptionally comfortable compared to the official duties of the Knights.
It's not that I don't like that job.
The magnitude of the responsibility, or the impact of the results on the surroundings, is out of step, and I can't help but feel it.
Adventurers looking down on the weapons they want to replace.
Accommodation employees ordering bespoke design clocks.
Regular visitors to the town seeking potions.
A knight who came to talk about increasing the amount of magic props he regularly delivers.
Different groups of guests visit instead and go back to get various products.
There was no one to make fun of the mix about my other (...) shoulder (...) book (...), but the majority of them treat me as an arms store owner.
Well, it's a title I don't think fits my height myself.
Even as a surrounding area, it is probably the easiest to handle as ever.
"Well... is it time for us to take a break?
"Right. You're gonna be okay if you two get out of here."
By the time it was slightly past lunchtime, and anticipating the relaxation of the guests' legs, I decided to take Garnett into the lunch break.
For once, Garnett has been seconded by the Silver Wings Knights in the name of my escort, so he's decided to act together as much as possible.
No matter how much Green Hollow is a safe town, it's more natural to take one of the escorts with you, given the title you're supposed to be in.
In the unlikely event that something happens wrong, it could even develop into a liability issue for the silver wing that sent the escort, so if you don't have a reason, you should come about Garnett.
... Well, there's an extremely personal reason for it, apart from that.
"Yes, Mr. Luke. Because of this, why don't you take a longer break and see how the branch is doing? I guess I haven't had a face for a long time because I was out of business hours when I got back and forth from the dungeon."
"That's true, too," I thought, following Alexia's suggestion, and decided to take lunch today at the Adventurer Guild branch of The Day Clock Forest.
Stretching from Green Hollow Town in the mountains to the back of the mountain, at the end of the woodland ramp, which also faces this shop.
A soft-bottomed basin divided into five layers, the open E-rank dungeon 'Sunclock Forest' - Adventurer Guild's Hollow Bottom Branch is at its bottom.
There was idyllic air in the dungeon, famous for its dungeon, and even as it descended a well-maintained ramp, no signs of danger could be felt of fine dust.
"It would have been quick if I'd stopped by when I got back from Athlopolis."
"I can't help it. It was time for the store in the branch to be more or less cluttered."
Adventurer Guild, Hollow Bottom Branch.
Originally a facility built as a fortress for the Golden Tooth Knights, bearing in mind the war against the Demon King's Army, half of which was paid down to the Adventurer's Guild.
And it is in the current situation that the free space of the facility is loaned from the guild to the private sector for the business of adventurers diving into the dungeon….
That's how the branch we're headed has space in the Alliance Branch that was lent to us.
"Let's eat before we show our faces to the branch."
"Right. Where to eat…"
Garnett, who can't stand hunger, rushes me down the hall looking for a store that looks good.
Then at a bend in the direction of progress, I saw the back of a dark-haired girl who looked familiar.
He seems to be asking exactly what's going on across the bend, hiding himself in an obviously suspicious move.
"Hey, Leila. What do you mean, cancer?"
"Hih......!?
Speaking with a frigid eye by Garnett, Leila shook herself terribly and looked back.
He opens his distinctive red eyes to surprise, and swims his gaze like he's looking for an excuse.
These eyes seem to be the hallmark of the clan that makes up the Dragon King Knights of Marginalism, and they have eyes of much the same color, except for those who joined the clan in marriage.
But with the Dragon King's Knights rarely leaving beside the King, it's not a very well-known trait, and few people in this town realize Leila's identity.
Exactly, Garnett, the Silver Winged Knight, seemed to have a conjecture that he was the edge of the Dragon King Knights as soon as he first met Leila.
"I wish people in the White Wolf store were doing something suspicious in such a prominent spot..."
"Yes, no, no, this is..."
Break into conversation from side to side, suppressing Garnett still trying to say something.
"He said he didn't have to tell me. Travis, right?"
"... is, yes..."
Peeping across the bend at Leila's buttocks as she perceived it, Guiding Travis was standing up with an official from the Alliance branch.
A-rank adventurer, Travis of Black Sword Mountain.
It is a truly A-ranked A-rank that is highly regarded not only as a militant who boasts a long, fleshy body, but also as energetic in the development of young people.
It's the so-called synchronization of joining the Adventurer Alliance at the same age as I am, and it's also a pattern that you can call old friends for once.
- And what to hide, the reason Leila decided to stay in Green Hollow is this Travis like no other.
Leila's man's preference was for King Alfred, a benign figure, so I wasn't entirely eligible, but on the contrary, Travis was surprisingly fit for the terms.
But there is one big problem with this.
Travis at the time doesn't like young women, and he's been intentionally avoiding pornography for a long time.
That's why Leila's best practices haven't worked very well either, and how subtle a sense of distance continues to be maintained.
"Because of this, why don't you invite Travis to dinner too? How's Garnett?
"I don't mind. But if he's with us."
Garnett pulls back on Leila's shoulder as she tries to escape with fear.
"If you don't like it, I won't say you can't either."
"No, I don't hate it! But, Ko, you're ready for your heart......!
"Well, can I just hang up my voice for now? You may have finished your meal by then, but give it up."
With Leila's eyes on her back, where expectations, anxiety and so much more were mixed, I first decided, as a friend, to give Travis a little voice.
