- For one thing, my opinion on strengthening Garnett's power has solidified, so I decide to sew between jobs and share it with Garnett.

As normal training and skills acquisition will continue as always, it is my idea that armed enrichment would be best if we were to aim for a definitive reinforcement in the short term.

"Garnett, what do you think?

Have a subtle conversation with Garnett sitting next to him while waiting for his next guest at the accounting counter.

"... um, I knew it was around there that was realistic"

"You have a bad tooth cut. If there's anything else you'd like to try, don't hesitate to say."

He said, "I know. I won't hesitate. If you're just gonna tell me, it's free."

Garnett laughed small with her cheek cane poked at the accounting counter.

"But, well... after all, I can't deny that I feel stronger myself."

Just at this time, a customer brings a product, so I immediately stop talking and finish accounting for it.

He's a young adventurer who left the boy in the shadow.

He thinks he has bought a decent weapon for the first time and is happy to tie his sword to his waist.

Something like leaving my hometown and joining the Alliance, working in the Green Hollow's "Day and Clock Forest" to rank and earn money, and finally taking the first full step?

As far as I'm concerned, I couldn't help but feel the indescribable nostalgia, but I wonder how it looks in Garnett's eyes.

"You can say" selfish. "I'm aware of that. Teme can't serve her purpose by herself, but she doesn't want to rely on her people. She's not only a weapon, she's stronger, so it feels like she can sleep and tell you what to do.

With his gaze thrown somewhere far away, Garnett said so in self-derision.

I looked at the side of the garnet sitting next to me, making sure the next customer wasn't close.

"If you'd said the same thing besides me, it would have been terrible."

"... what does that mean?"

Garnet's white cheeks blush slightly.

There are a large number of others around who do not reveal the circumstances - and I wanted to make a slightly ill-intentioned rhetoric about it - so I dare to supplement the thrust of the statement with far-fetched expressions.

"One, of course, is the reason you imagined. It's between me and you, so I can't get a little greed in."

Under the accounting counter, Garnett's foot kicks my calf lightly.

I went on to say more as I got the reactions I expected.

"And the other thing is, I'm not in a position to say."

"Am I? What's your position?

Garnett has only moved his gaze this way, so it becomes a shape that meets his eyes indefinitely.

"I've been obsessed with 'dreams' for fifteen years that I want to grow up as an adventurer, and in the meantime, I've listened to you no matter how many 'different paths you should choose' around me... as you know, I was such a bastard"

I kept my eyes open and kept staring back at Garnett's bright eyes.

"Is it your dream that you want to fight your enemies with your own hands whenever you can? Then I'm not in a position to say anything great, and I'd rather be there for you."

"I don't want you to make me give up the same mistake I did... or some pattern to say it out loud?

"Maybe some people do. But I'm not. I'm not talking about which is right..."

"'I'm just this kind of guy'?"

I'm ahead of Garnett in what I'm trying to say, so let me try to get the edge of my mouth up deliberately and show my willingness to be extraordinarily correct.

Garnett laughed back the same way, then looked up at the ceiling, keeping his weight as much as he could on the back of the chair.

"The first reason alone is enough. I don't need the second half. Give it to Erica."

"Hmm? What's wrong with me?

Erica makes a little face out of the shadows.

Garnett kept his posture intact and waved his sloppy hand loosely, indicating that he had no particular business.

"Nothing. I just got a little name in the story."

"Fine, but they're coming."

"Oops......!

Garnett in a hurry to get her attitude back.

Its appearance of quick customer service in its usual condition was full of juvenile brightness and insecurity, without shards such as the worrisome atmosphere just now.

I guess the speed of this switch is Garnett's advantage, but the problem I have isn't gone, I'm just not putting it on the table and pushing it in.

If you don't understand that properly and support it like an elderly person - no, I want to support you.

Whatever you say, because it's between (...) and (...).

I'll clean up the customer service as well and then try to get back to the main point, anticipating when it's quieter around the accounting counter again.

"I'm talking about procuring new gear, but I think it's better to procure it by following the handler than just us."

"It's a good story to [synthesize] with Mithril after you get it for now. But what exactly..."

"Can't you ask the Silver Wings Knights or the Argentian family?

Once I asked, thinking I should check it out, Garnett distorted his mouth and thought about it.

"That's hard...... oh, no, maybe I can do it now. Since the White Wolf Knights were launched and I was officially treated to travel, it doesn't seem to be a problem to procure equipment from the silver wings."

Until recently, Garnett needed to hide that he was a silver-wing knight, but now he can reveal his identity in grandeur as an official outgoing man.

So we can also expect backups from the Silver Wings Knights, which we haven't been able to take much of.

In the form of a great deal of support from the Silver Wings Knights to the White Wolf Knights...... the balance of power between the Knights can be troublesome in some way, but there will be nothing wrong with only improving the personal gear of the Knights (Garnets) to whom they belong.

"And your older brother...... Valentine's staying in Green Hollow too, right? Something if you take the story..."

As soon as Valentine's name came out, Garnett looked like he had chewed up a bitter bug.

"That's him... I don't want to borrow him..."

"... then I'll say it's a last resort"

I don't know Valentine Argentia very well.

So judgment around here should follow Garnett, my sister.

After concluding that for the first time, we decided to switch our awareness to dealing with customers who had brought new products.
