Well, Lisa's shop is this way.

It's been a few days since I first went there, and I'm a little worried I'll get there safely because I just went with Sally's guide...

But Golitris, you seemed like a more vicious demon than I thought.

In addition to that powerful poison, I can't be more physical than Oak King, more alert.

If you're going to be sure, a Demon Ripper attack is the best, but it's like a sword with all the blades. If you can't beat me with that, and I fall, it's over.

Well, I've got magic manipulation now, and most of the levels have gone up. It's not a bad idea to try how much magic you consume in your current state before you fight Golithris.

Well, for now, it's about buying a poison resistance ring at Lisa's.

I hear that what works is going to be quite expensive when you talk about Mel, but you'd better buy something that works, even if it's somewhat expensive here.

Thanks to my request, I have a lot of money left.

Well, while I was thinking about it, I think I could make it to Lisa's.

Phew, glad you didn't get lost.

I open the door and go in.

As always, the store is full of magic items.

But that sounds a little dusty. Is it cleaning properly?

With that in mind, Lisa came out of the back room.

"Welcome......... Isn't that you, Yuma! Hey, it's been quite a while since then."

Ooh, I haven't seen it in a while, but my chest swells as rich as ever.

Surrey is normal, but compared to this, don't get too sumptuous.

Whoa, what are you thinking? Why don't I just think about this like it's an igloo?

"Oh, it's been a long time, Lisa. Looking good and above all. But isn't this store a little dusty?

Lisa laughed a little bit when I said that.

"Ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha"

"I see. But if you don't clean it properly, it's bad for you, okay? If Lisa gets sick again, Sally will be sad."

"Right, we'll be careful from now on."

"That's good, 'cause Lisa's sick makes me hard too. Yeah, next time you get sick, don't hesitate to tell me,' cause you're always coming to cure me!

Lisa gave me a slightly lighter look when I said that.

"Wow, when I get sick, Yuma, you're hard too."

"It's obvious, isn't it?

It's only natural for a friend to worry if he gets sick.

Well, I hardly had any friends...

"Oh, yeah. I don't know, I hardly had any friends but Sally, so I don't know what to say at a time like this, but I'm so happy. Thank you."

So Lisa leaned down and shut her face, which remained red.

No, Sally said Lisa doesn't get to talk to people very often.

I see, is that illuminating, utterly adorable. No!

Well, it's cute, so I'd like to see it all the time, but I have a little errand to do today, so should I stop?

"So, Lisa, can I tell you why I came to this store today?

Lisa looks up when I say so, but her face remains red.

"Ugh, yeah, fine."

"Thanks, I'm going to Stone Forest today. So we're looking for a poison resistant magic item."

"Toxic resistance in the Stone Forest, is that a Cocatrice crusade?

"No, it's Golithris."

When I say that, Lisa's face, which was still slightly lit, turns into something serious.

"Even Gorithris, Yuma, are you insane!? He's the top of the A-rank if you say so in rank, Yuma, and I know you're strong, but he's..."

"Yeah, I know you're strong. But it's what we need to do to crush the possibility of a major invasion."

"... I see the lord said yesterday that there are amazing adventurers moving to stop the Great Invasion, Yuma, but it was about you."

Seriously, did you say something like that with the lord?

Hey, but I'm an awesome adventurer, can you light it up a little?

"Well, that's the thing."

"But Yuma, you haven't been in this city that long. I don't know why you would do something that would put your life on the line..."

"Right, I'm not very thoughtful about this city itself. If I were just here in this city, I'd probably abandon it and run away. But now I can't run anymore. I don't want to leave Sally and Lisa behind and run away."

"…… Yuma, if you say so much, I have nothing to say anyway. Wait a minute, I'll just bring the poison resistance ring now."

That's right. Lisa ran away.

I'm a little nervous about how much you're going to bring.

Dozens of minutes later,

"You, Yuma! I just brought it from this store!

That said Lisa spread dozens of rings in front of me.

That's a lot! No matter how you think about it, it will be slightly over the number you can put on your finger!!

"Oh, thank you, Lisa. But I don't need all of this, so can you pick one or two of these things that work best for you?

"Okay! Wait a minute."

That's right. Lisa starts picking out rings.

After a few minutes,

"Again! This and this is the most effective ring."

Lisa chose a ring that was both disastrous.

That's really a poison resistance ring, isn't it?

It was bad for Lisa, but as a result of having her appraised a little, they were both poison resistance +2 rings. Not what it looks like. Excellent performance!

"Thanks Lisa! I'll let you buy them both. Can I ask you the price?

"Uh, two gold coins for both, four gold coins."

Hmm, that's still quite a price.

Well, there's no choice. This ring is not just about fighting Golithris, but there will be ample opportunities to be active in the future. There's nothing wrong with buying it.

"Okay, I'll let you buy it"

That's right. I take four gold coins out of the item box and give them to Lisa, and I get two poison resistance rings. All right, now we're ready for the battle of Golithris!

"Thank you Lisa, now I can fight Golithris.

Lisa leaned down a little again when I said so.

But this time he looked right up,

"Yuma, go with care. Don't just be impotent. Yuma, I think Sally would be terribly sad if you were gone. And of course I..."

"Thanks for worrying about me. It's okay, I won't be impotent. Then I'll go."

I waved gently at Lisa and I left the store.

Okay, ready, let's go to Stone Forest.
