The request from the Grey Eagle Knights for new cold gear was first left to Noir and Alexia, experts.

As a store manager, I can't keep throwing round at both of them, but [repair] skills are not a useful occasion either.

Then there's still something I can do.

"Is this a measure of the cold in the Eastern continent?

During business hours one day, I casually throw that question to Sakura, who asked for help while Noir and Alexia were dedicated to product development.

When it comes to what I can do to help other than [repair], it's just to rely on connections with the various people that I've built up in my fifteen years as an adventurer and in the year since I started an arms store.

In that sense, Sakura, born and raised in a culture fundamentally different from that of the Kingdom of Westland, can be said to be the first person to rely on.

"You don't need it if it's Sakura's country of birth? If there's anything else going on besides wearing it, I want you to tell me for your information."

"No, it snowed in the winter, and it was essential to be prepared to outrun the cold. But is it cold proof other than wearing it... right..."

After thinking only a little, Sakura uttered an unfamiliar word.

"In terms of what you carry, is it still hot stone?"

"Oh, no?

"This stone was warmed using heating fires, etc. You wrap this in a cloth or bag, you put it in your nose and you get warm."

"I see... is that the ant too"

Carry something feverish and it'll warm you up.

It's a simple but so sure way.

"But I was wondering if it's really hard to warm your whole body up and if you want it to last, you just have to make the stone bigger and it's hard to be luggage"

"Is there no way around it because it's a stone? Thanks, it's going to be helpful in the future."

"I heard some tools burn charcoal in small containers to keep you warm."

The second half of the statement does not belong to Sakura.

It's not even the voice of a woman in the first place, it's clearly the voice of a youth.

Turning to the person who spoke, Mark in his personal clothes was walking this way with a cloth bag in his hand.

"I thought you said 'Portrait (Cairo)' because of the meaning of a fireplace in your pocket. Our Knights Commander gave way to a friend from the East who warmed his fingertips on a cold night."

The Purple Knights, of which Mark is officially a member, are tasked with vigilance against the Oriental Continent and the safeguarding of Oriental trade.

Sometimes he loves Eastern culture, and Mark's knowledge of the East is one of the best of his friends, except for those from the local area.

"Oh, speaking of which, some of those things were. It wasn't used much in my hometown, though."

"They just started selling in the city."

You look strange, but Mark's consciousness was obviously headed for Sakura next door, not mine.

"By the way, I don't seem to be here to shop, but is something wrong? I don't suppose you're just here to see Sakura or something."

"I won't tell you. It's not Chandler. I just came to return this."

Shortly after Mark placed the bag in his hand on the accounting counter, the tall sound of glass touching each other sounded.

The contents consist of several glass potion containers.

They're all for sale in our store.

I see. Convinced that was the case, Erica, the rep, cut up the merchandise display and came back to the counter.

"Oh, you brought me that. Thanks. Um, I'm refunding every little piece of copper coin for a single return... Yes, this. Thank you for your continued support."

"Hi. Is glass bottles expensive after all?

"Compared to a long time ago, prices are dropping. But if you buy it in large quantities, it doesn't make you stupid, so if you can reuse it, that's what you want to do."

Each other has a different tone of mouth than when dealing with me and the manager of the store and the general manager, not to mention a chat that is not important.

The reason Mark brought the bottle was just as it was in the conversation between the two of us.

Before the Kingdom of Westland unified the continent, glass was a specialty for which certain regions had a monopoly on manufacturing and sales.

And by means of continental unification, popularity and price declines, like other luxury goods, became widely used in private house windows and some containers.

But still, compared to conventional wooden and ceramic containers, the value becomes tense.

Therefore, the containers of potions sold by Erica in our store are not only new purchased from elsewhere, but also bribed by the reuse of bottles recovered from the buyer for a fee.

"Lord Luke. Apparently Lord Mark is here to see Erica, not me."

"... could you stop saying that in a misleading way?

Mark returned the words of perplexity with an indescribable look to a word that Sakura had unleashed with a smile of no malice or otherwise.

And I just tried to turn my heel back when I was done running errands, and I looked back with a face that reminded me of something.

"I don't know what's going on, but if you're looking into cold gear, why don't you ask Lord Hild as well? I heard he was from the North."

"Oh...... you sure do"

Reminds me that there were other people close to me who seemed familiar with them.

I had never lost sight of Hild's existence, just that she accidentally fell out of consciousness to fall into a category from the North.

In the north, even in the north, her birthplace is the 'Fairy Town of White Asia' in the dungeon.

Just as the environment of the nearby dungeon 'Ark of Elements' is far from that of Greenhollow, so is its dungeon far from the terrestrial climate of the northern part of the continent.

Rather, by the rule of thumb, the chances of being different from the ground would be extraordinarily higher.

Of course, the fact that Hild is an elf from "Fairy Town of White Asia" is only as good as me and Garnett in Green Hollow.

Around the mark you should only think of it as a mere northern origin, a statement that probably stemmed from the perception around it, but it's quite the right time.

"Do you want to talk to Hild too when you're done with your work? That's about all I can do."
