Riot Grasper

- Two weeks in August, one day.

"What do you say, this? Don't you think it looks good on you?

"... you know, women only do that"

You want me to rate the newly purchased clothes, or leak my candid thoughts as I watch Ren feel comfortable going around in front of me.

Longer garments covering the body all the way up to the top of the knee have exotic embroidery on the collar area and chest. Including trousers gives the impression of a blue courtesy dress, which looks like an exotic prince's outfit when Len wears it with a neat appearance. I have to say that this is another long shawl hanging on my shoulder, showing a classy orange like a natural grace.

"But can you stand the journey?

"You're gonna be okay. Because it's easier to move than it looks, and they knit with sturdy yarn. And there's some proper leather armor underneath."

"Fine, but the... shawl? Do you need something like that?

"This is... Here."

Ren wraps the shawl he had on his shoulder around his face and twirls it cleverly to rotate it. My face completely hid in seconds of things.

Don't feel like the people on camels in the desert were wearing masks like this.

"I don't think it's necessary to be in this country, but you might need it once you get into the Suaven Empire, right?

Well, I guess so.

- In the end, I decided to go to the Suaven Empire.

Kroko was given 'overprotective' or 'stoo-oo' or 'sex offender reserve' or cursed words, but that is a mistake.

You can admit you're overprotective by conceding a hundred steps, but it's not all because you're worried about rims.

Can I miss the opportunity to connect with the king of a country?

No, not good.

Later, I knocked on the Royal Palace Gate, and I offered to release Ray and Ren's twin sister.

It's my first time in the country. I'm pretty sure it helps to have someone familiar with the land.

Worrying about being stabbed from behind means I'm going to try to believe what Mr. Ilyi said for now.

Of course, I'm not going to forgive myself for that. Even the inn on the road is going to be in a different room.

It was a visit shortly after I said no, but apparently the king's vessel wasn't small enough to move into my sudden change of heart, and I was immediately ready for release.

Besides, as I was saying, he tried to get me a small amount of money to call me Road Bank, but I politely declined that.

'Cause if they say it's a forward investment or something, I'm scared to accept it. I'm honestly glad you're buying a human being named me, but when you realize it, you're going to be in a state where you can't refuse things.

Nevertheless, we can't take the twins on a journey with their prisoner clothes, so we just got the money to gear them up and about the cost of the inn.

So now we have all the gear for both of us.

My armor has already been repaired.

- Let's get the story back to normal.

"... there are only a few people who know the faces of the oilers."

The need to hide your face is just in case.

They were working for the Secret Service, but it's not strange to be executed if they came back to congratulate you for failing in your mission, throwing up all the information.

By the nature of their work, they don't seem to be many people who know the two faces, but I guess they've never gone beyond caution.

"That's right... that outfit, isn't it hot?

Ren's outfit seems slightly hot and bitter as the temperature is also getting higher. Wouldn't it be better if we masked it and fell in the heat?

"Chick, toggles are hotter than here, but that's why we need to block the sunlight. The real danger is exposure to direct sunlight for long periods of time."

"... Phew."

"Hey, listen to me!... What's that? Beautiful. You have a view."

Ren's story was going to be long, so he took the phosphorous dragon crystal out of the tool bag and watched it as he responded raw.

A tornado that emits a slightly strange light. No, degenerate dragon crystals after a long time are harder than any metal...... it could be considered a super rare highest hardness material.

I really love this stuff.

I don't get tired of watching it all day.

I'd rather eat.

... By the way, I returned my skills properly to Berga.

You won't know what happened because you returned it while you were drunk and asleep.

I seem to have realized I've regained my strength since I woke up.

If I met someone named Shania, I broke up with her after I promised to tell her about Berga. I haven't looked at each other yet, but I don't think I need to worry about it.

"... Still, it's too late for Sister Ray"

"Well, women say it takes time to prepare"

Me and Ren laughed bitterly all together.

"- By the way, Ren uses two swords in battle, right?

"Uh, yeah."

Ren's waist also holds a pair of freshly purchased swords. It should have been Ren's style of combat to use long swords primarily for attacks and to be thoroughly defensive with daggers.

"What's wrong? Suddenly."

"No, I wonder what it's like to be duplicitous."

This journey is not a matter of haste. I'm just worried about the rim - it works for the fuzzy purpose of seeing and hearing what's going on in the neighborhood.

Somewhat, I think we can stop by.

"Hmm. What do you think? Basically, Oyla uses a dagger instead of a shield, but in some cases, I think it's convenient to attack with a small, sharp dagger. It's just that defenses don't extend to real shields."

"What do you expect both to be equipped with long swords?

"I admired Oyla at first, too. 'Cause it's better that way."

"" Cool ""

The two voices overlap and their gaze staggers.

I felt like an odd friendship had arisen.

"But. As a matter of fact, it's tough to use both swords."

"...?

"Duplicity is an advantage of a lot of trouble, isn't it? Even daggers can attack once, and attack more often than shields. But if you make them both long swords of the main attack, they will definitely gain weight, so if you don't have the extra muscle strength, you will get tired quickly. Even if you could swing it... what would you do if your opponent was slashed with a sword in both hands?

"Well, avoid it, or I'll take it with my sword."

"Yeah, I hope you dodge it, but if you defend it with a sword, you'll have to resist the muscle strength of your opponent's arms with one arm's muscle strength."

"Then take it with both swords..."

"As I said earlier, duplicants sell a lot of trouble, but you don't think it makes sense if they both seal up to be attacked by their opponents? And it's easy to fatigue because of its weight"

... I see. I kind of might have reviewed Len.

"If you're a dagger, you basically just concentrate on derailing your opponent's attack, and it's lighter than a shield, so it's hard to fatigue"

Dagger...... huh? No, but hey.

"Well, that's the general theory."

"...?

"I know your arm strength doesn't look good on the outside. Really, human? Then the approximate opponent can fight well with one arm. If it's possible to dodge an opponent's attack, both swords will increase their overall Attack by an explosion."

"Attack Specialization," "Explosive Rise"

... this guy lined up my favorite words at the end.

Thanks to physical skills and physical enhancement, the ability to avoid can be said to be increasing.

Maybe I should consider it positively.

"- You, why are you making your eyes shine so bright?

It was the princess who took so long to prepare and do it that she spoke out against me in paranoia.

"Nothing's good. Leave me alone. So, we've decided on the gear..."

He caught Ray in sight as he turned around and his eyeballs stiffened.

"Nah... it..."

"What. We've got it all within a set amount, haven't we?

Ray's outfit was like seeing it for the first time since he came to this world.

As you raise your gaze from your feet in turn, first the footwear is like a footbag, with a fluffy and soft looking thin purple fabric integrated with the footbag wrapped around your knees.

He seems to be wearing black tights from thighs to hips.

The upper body is designed like a yukata and is made of the same fabric that wraps around the knee and looks soft. The length is about half the length of the thigh.

Exposed from shoulder to arm, but protected by gloves around forearm.

Slightly higher than the waist is wrapped with beautiful bands of light orange colour, an outfit that, although somewhere Japanese-style, is hardly a kimono. Wouldn't it be polishing the Japanese-style look that ties the hair behind it?

"What are you looking at?"

"No, Sister Ray's unique taste also has something to say about her brother, Oyla -..."

"Shut up. I'm sorry for your unique taste."

"... I don't"

At a glance at his sister, Ren instantly shut up.

"You think you're dressed differently, too, but you're also functionally good. Because this light purple fabric is woven with yarn spit out by purple moss larvae, it is also shock-resistant and durable, as well as a thermoregulating function that keeps the inside of the garment at the right temperature. Even this belt is made from yellow-coated cotton, so it protects the organs of the abdomen."

Although it is certainly more functional and surprising than I expected, it is for another reason that I remain silent.

Unique taste......?

No, this is very good stuff.

There is also a Japanese-style atmosphere somewhere. The imbalance may be said to be exquisite.

"I mean, I think you look normal. Good. That's great."

Goodjob!

"Huh? I don't need you to tell me. I know. Because the eagle chose it."

Turn your back around and walk slowly.

"... I'm going to see some weapons too, just give me a second"

That's what I said and I never turned around, and I pushed closer to the weapons corner.

- I'll wait a while again.

"That's crazy."

"What's going on?

Reacting to Ren groaning, I listen looking at the phosphorous dragon crystal.

"No, Sister Ray said I'd use the weapon for this, so I thought you'd be back soon."

"It's hard to come back."

Were you lost just before? It seems possible.

"By the way, why did you suddenly want to go to the Suaven Empire? That's all you said you weren't going now - so stop looking at me like that fang already!

I have no choice but to put the phosphorous dragon crystal in my tool bag.

"No, there's no big reason."

"A little bit, something to do with that beastman cutie or something?

... This guy is scared because there's something oddly sharp about you floating around.

"Well, that could be one of the reasons"

"... I see"

He smiles slightly.

"What the fuck?

"No... Oh, Sister Ray, have you decided on a weapon too?

She would have returned from the weapons corner, carrying a whip in strange shape.

"Make it this"

That whip, whose handles would be thicker than normal and probably have a built-in winding mechanism, can see a number of small blades in the area to be stretched.

"... blade-wip?

"That's right. This way..."

When Ray moved slightly at hand, a blade whip shaped like a whip became a single sword along with a continuous metal sound.

"The whip would be unfavourable if approached, because this could be as defensive as defense. Well, I'm gonna rattle it out before it does."

Hey, that doesn't sound like a joke.

"Well, I'll buy that whip and clothes, so it's a decision."

Money management is up to me, so it's my job to finally buy the equipment I choose.

I proceeded to the back of the spacious store and spoke to the owner of the store.

"Excuse me. I'd like to buy a set of gear this guy's trying on."

A shopkeeper turning this way gives a strange look at Ray next door.

"Every time! That... what's wrong with you? You look so grumpy. I was in the weapons corner just now to cross noses..."

- Dossssss.

"... sorry. I was thinking of buying this too."

"Hih... every time"

What Ray threw and stabbed at the accounting table was a small throwing knife. Looks like a blunt knife with three sets, but only one was painted black.

"What are you doing?"

"Throwing is talented there too, so you're not wasting your time shopping."

"Not there. Yikes!

I hope you don't try to cause problems to prove if you can use it.

- I managed to make the purchase safely and can say that I am all set to leave with this.

I have greeted everyone who took care of me in Wangdu, and I have stored emergency food, water, cures, antidotes, and many other items in my magic tool bag.

I was willing to be independent about Mr. Uran and Mr. Stella in the near future, and next time I come, I'm going to let them stop by a new store.

Ha... I think I forgot something.

"What are you bawling at?

Ray, dressed in new clothes, asks against me in emotion.

"Damn, if I walked all over the city in that country, I'd get a whole purse for Suri, wouldn't I?

"No. That's just not so insecure."

"That's sweet. Mostly - - Cah."

She must have been obsessed with preaching to me as I walked her face this way. I ran into a passerby from the front.

"... ooh! I'm sorry about this. I didn't expect what I did to be disrespectful to a pretty woman like you. How about a meal to apologize?

She dissipated herself without hiding her rejection as the man she bumped into suddenly tried to hold Ray's hand.

"Don't touch me."

To that reaction, the man says his apologies without breaking his smile.

"Excuse me. Because it was so appealing... Have a good trip."

Ah... I remember.

I finally remembered that perverted man because this guy's bareback resembled someone I knew.

Mr. Galeb, what's going on?

In the end, a few days after that, there is still no tone out.

When you can disappear in silence, that bothers me.

I peek into the face of a man trying to walk away, but of course he was a total different person.

Hmm?... Something...

"What's wrong?

"Oh, I'm a little blinded. Maybe you're tired."

"Hey, are you okay with leaving now?

Ren groans anxiously, but after several blinks, his vision quickly cleared up.

"It's alright. Better than that... Ray should walk careful before."

"Shut up. I call it by name lightly -"

"- Conditions of release, part 1. The two released names shall accompany me in an effort to establish the minimum necessary relationship."

There are a number of conditions that we were allowed to present when we released them, but this is one of them.

"Calling their names is the least you need, isn't it? Ren to Ray...... for a while now, thanks for asking."

"Ouilla is perfectly good, though. On the contrary, I was just thinking about what I'd call you."

"Even the eagle... I'll try."

- Thus I left Horn, the king's capital, with two new companions.
