The next day Jin also made his way to Ganz's weapons store first.

"Hello -"

"Whoa, are you here? It's finished."

Yes, Gantz said and gave it to me, the steel spear he was asking to repair.

The gin was disassembled and assembled on the spot to confirm the finish. The fight against the mutant species was getting a little tight, but it's fixed properly.

"Thank you. Now we're in perfect condition."

"Whoa. But actually, that spear is powerless for you. How much not to say it's not a main weapon, don't you have to buy it again?

That's especially worrying about Gantz. In fact, in the fight against mutant species, it emerged, because it ended up using a wooden sword, not a spear.

"Um, you like that you can break it down. Not that I'm not interested, but if it's a little better, I'll choose this spear."

If you are a normal-sized spear, you always have to hold it with one hand or brace it around your back. I like this spear, which is easy to disassemble and carry for Jin because it can often get in the way in both cases. It is also true that there was reassurance that there was a wooden sword as the main weapon.

"Well, if you say so."

Gantz doesn't feel bad either because he likes the weapons he makes.

"More than that, I want you to show me your shield and bow today. I want to do more of what I can."

In response to Gin's request to say so, Ganz brings a circular shield as a recommendation. The center of the shield is protruding round out, and from the back, it's smudged there. Looks like you can hold the handle there.

"If you're a shield, this is the one you recommend. The circular shield (round shield) is lighter among the shields, but the defense is medium. As you can see, it's basic to use it by gripping the handle on the edge here. You'll take the attack with your wrist, but you'll be fine."

Ganz also shows another shield as he says so. It looks the same just a little bigger, but the back is different. In addition to the handle that is centered as earlier, there is another handle slightly off the edge rather than the center, and there is also a belt for fixing on that diagonal. Apparently, it's built to hold from a small hand to a fist throughout and take the attack.

"This type is also more capable of securing the entire arm, so you can take the attack more firmly than you did earlier. However, in your case, you may fight with both hands. I think it would be easier to throw it away."

Certainly there will be trouble when it is not easy to throw it away, not to say how well you can take the attack. Jin worried only a little and came to a conclusion.

"Um, I'll make it a little bigger. Then you can have it at the center, and I'm going to use it separately."

It's true what Jin is talking about, but I had another idea. That's using [change] or [gear].

[CHANGE] is useful when changing two or more pieces of equipment at a time, but it is not necessary to use [CHANGE] if there is only one. Awareness of [equipment] and [tool bags] in one place makes it easy to make changes.

Jin thought of it yesterday and tried it when he was alone, but it was easy to replace it with a spear with a wooden sword in his right hand, or just be aware of putting a spear out or erasing it in his empty left hand. When Jin fights with both hands, he intends to store his shield in a [tool bag].

"Okay, okay. Later it's a bow, but unfortunately we don't have a bow. Why don't you ask Greg what's good for you, because he'll show his face to the guild anyway?

"Okay, I will"

That's how Jin bought a slightly larger circular shield (round shield). And I'll try to equip it in a fast-fixing way to my left hand, but thanks to the high STR, it's not a huge strain. Jin waved her arms gently to see how she was doing, nodding satisfactorily and laughing.

"Hmm, you're inside."

Ganz sees such a gin and seems to be thinking something. And a while later, I asked Jin.

"As I said yesterday, I use it because I got the premium Mad Bull leather. I mean, we have a budget of eight, but are you okay with 10?

"The budget is fine, but what's wrong?

"No, I just thought of something. Does the shield intend to continue to use it in the future?

"Yes, I intend to"

Even in the fight against mutant species, I deliberately blocked the attack with my sword in order not to let it pass behind me. Jin needed to be annihilated when fighting at the party, but he also felt the importance of protecting it. That's why we think shields are a must if we're to anticipate future party fighting.

"Okay, then give me a little more time to finish than planned. If it doesn't turn out to be something, the budget stays at 8 sheets. What do you say?"

"Yes, please."

Jin responded instantly.

Jin didn't know what Gantz was thinking, but I trust him to take the time to think and work for himself. Jin was happy to accept the suggestion, so much so that the less pleasant face would laugh at Niyanya.

"Well, I'll try to live up to my expectations."

While I grinned bitterly at the over-expected gin, Ganz also tempered to live up to that trust.

So after talking to Ganz for a while, Jin left the store and headed to the guild.

Jin remains equipped with a shield during the journey. I usually end up with a [tool bag], but I do it deliberately to get used to it. Nothing new equipment is happily doing this. I think...

I enter the guild for an athletic field, but a woman spoke to me along the way. It was Samantha who spoke up.

Although Jin had seen it at the reception, he had no direct knowledge. Jin asks Samantha for an errand, wondering.

"What is it?

"I'm sorry to call you so suddenly. My name is Samantha. I thought heading to the athletic field meant you were looking for instructor Greg, but no?

"No, you're right."

"Then I'm sorry, but Teacher Gregg isn't on the field today."

Jin is also convinced by Samantha's answer to that. I honestly think it would be appreciated if you took the time to tell me kindly.

"Thank you for taking the time to tell us"

So I expressed my gratitude properly. And I went on to say it.

"Isn't Teacher Melinda here?

"Huh? No, I think Instructor Melinda will be there"

Samantha says as upset for some reason.

"Good. Then I'll ask Instructor Melinda. Thank you."

A little strange, Jin said goodbye to Samantha and headed to the athletic field.

Samantha, on the other hand, didn't show it to her face, but she was sorry. The reason I spoke to Jin was to get to know Jin and get along for Aria.

And I wanted to have tea with Jin so badly that I could hear a lot about it.

But those thoughts came off brilliantly, and Samantha shrugged Boso by the time Jin entered the athletic field.

"Did you let him get away?"

Fortunately, there was no one else to hear that little black whine.

Jin enters the athletic field and looks for Melinda. But Melinda called me before Jin found me.

"Hey Jin. What's the matter with you? Greg wouldn't be here today."

"Hello, Instructor Melinda. Actually, I need to talk to you."

"To me? What is it?

So Jin told me that she was going to buy a bow and wanted me to tell her if she didn't know where to recommend it. When she heard Jin's favor and Melinda thought a little, she laughed and told Jin.

"Well, I have a recommendation. I guess it's just a little early. I think you should go after lunch."

That's how Jin asked Melinda to give him more information and was pushed to go there first thing in the afternoon. Jin promised to go to the store first thing in the afternoon without thinking deeply and walked away when he thanked Melinda. I don't notice Melinda laughing at Niyanya behind her back. Samantha wasn't the only black person.

Gin, who left the guild, had an early lunch. For Jin, the most pleasant thing about coming to this world is eating. Enjoy a meal while thanking your healthy body. And when I said that, it was tough, I remembered yesterday morning with a bitter smile.

The dining there was gin in the atmosphere of the launch, but it is true that we ate less than usual. I never really thought about why, but I found out why the next morning when I woke up. Because I was attacked by a fierce hunger. With that hunger, Jin finally realized that the mutant species had been defeated and the level had increased.

I didn't tell the inn in advance this time, but I managed to get a meal prepared in favor of the employees to satisfy the hunger. It was the salvation that satisfied me in a much smaller amount because I only got one level higher than last time.

And Jin, who had just been punished for this, decided to employ a system sound that he had not used before. When I learned a new level or skill, I set it to sound like a system.

If "pawn" sounds, you can check [basic information] when viewing the log, so you won't have to overlook it like this one. In fact, this course not only raised the level, but also acquired new skills.

That's how Jin enjoyed his meal before spending time in the Great Square looking at the sights of different worlds with one hand of juice. Then it was time to leave the square and move to the store where Melinda taught me. I bought a bow so I just removed the shield and it was sneaked into the [tool bag].

"Hello, sorry"

Jin enters the store with such a voice. There seemed to be a client in the store, and I see two women standing talkin '. When one of them looked back, the woman was Elsa.

"Jin, what's going on, in here?

Surprisingly, Elsa calls out to Jin. Elsa probably didn't know Jin was practicing her bow.

"Trying to buy a bow and arrow. Instructor Melinda taught me."

"Well, I just came to get the bow I put out to adjust"

And when the two of them were checking each other's affairs, an employee's 40s and a woman with a dog ear called out.

"Looks like Elsa's taking care of you. I'm Seema, the clerk of this shop and this kid's aunt, and it's nice to meet you."

"It's this one who's taking care of you. I say gin. Thank you very much."

Jin greets Seema with a smile. And when I told her that I wanted to buy a bow, I actually pulled some bows to see how they were doing. And in the end, I decided to buy a long bow (long bow) that was affordable and compatible with the power of gin. Short bows (short bows) were too light to fit, and composite bows (composite bows) were discouraged for the price.

"I didn't know you could pull a heavier bow than Elsa. One of these days, when you get to the next level and save money, you can have our guy make a composite bow (composite bow) on order."

Even though I don't know how much it would cost to order a high composite bow, maybe one of these days I'll need it. Jin laughed and clouded his tea for now.

"By the way, does Jin have plans from now on?

Elsa talks to Jin, who also bought 50 arrows and ran errands.

"No, as much as I thought I'd try the bow after the herb collection"

"Then why don't you hang out with me? The practice is hunting and the prey is being wholesaled to the butcher. It's not that far away, and I think you'll be back in the evening."

"Well, let me ask you a favor."

The best way to get used to it would be in action. If the prey is to be used properly and effectively, there is no gin either.

When they took off and left the store, they followed Elsa's guide for the destination forest. And from a short while before entering the woods, he proceeded in a sneaky fashion, refraining from conversation after that so that his prey would not notice him. The [hidden (stealth)] that Jin learned during the beginner's course was also helpful and rarely noticed before the attack.

And after discovering the prey, Jin and Elsa each shot at the same prey, so that even if one of them took it off, the other could stop it. At first, the gin was only removed, but since the middle of the day, I have never been used to the distance of the bow and removed it. Needless to say, the system sound I set in the middle of the hunt rang.

That's how they decided to go back to the city after capturing the number of prey there.

"Jin is amazing after all."

Elsa says as she walks.

"If you fight with a sword, you defeat even the mutant species by yourself, and the bow quickly got better. It's amazing."

It was the bow Elsa had worked out for the past few weeks, but I felt Jin had caught me up in a day. I'm not sure even mutants can win. Even though he says it's amazing with his mouth, that kind of Elsa's face looks lonely.

"Isn't Elsa amazing? I didn't even take my aim off, and it doesn't mean I'm special."

That's what Jin says, but Elsa's face doesn't clear. Look at the side of it. Jin remembers his past self.

There is certainly a human being in the world who can. When I was a student, I envied my classmates who were active in sports competitions and colleagues who had done well in sales since I went out into society. Sometimes I felt inferior when compared to myself I couldn't. Jin thought Elsa's face now resembled her then.

But that's when Jin didn't want to work hard in the same field because of it. I didn't do anything to strengthen my body in particular, and I didn't have anything to work on continuously to improve my sales results. I didn't even try, I was just envious.

But Elsa isn't. Even archery works out with a proper sense of purpose, and that's what you get. I keep trying to be for myself, so I have nowhere to be inferior.

I was a gin who reflected on my past self to hang up sick care and then continued to make good efforts, but before that I and Elsa were completely different.

Jin manages to lighten Elsa's heart burden and spins the word.

"Hey, Elsa. I do seem to remember things a little better than people, and honestly, there are other secrets I can't tell you."

In reaction to the secret part, Elsa sees Gin's face.

"Elsa tells me she's amazing is a part of it that has nothing to do with that kind of effort. And I don't think I'd call that awesome at all."

Jin confirmed Elsa was listening jizzily to this side of the story, putting aside a beat and saying.

"It's amazing, I think, who wants to be like Elsa, who keeps working towards himself."

Think of your past faults and tell the truth you think with all your heart.

"I know, now is the time to try so hard, but I used to not. Even if I wanted to be, I didn't make much effort to do so. But Elsa isn't. I know you're working hard."

Even if I give up a hundred steps and I'm awesome, Jin thinks that's not true awesomeness. It is Jin's idea to say that this is a good place to be immature.

"There are a lot of amazing people in the world, aren't there? Even Teacher Greg and Teacher Melinda. Oh, you admire people like that, you want to be. But does Elsa want to be like me? Weaker than the instructors, Greg, to me? Or do you want to be like the Greg instructors?

And put it between beats.

"Or do you want to be stronger than anyone else?

Yes, Jin asked Elsa.

And Elsa, who was asked, also gave the answer.

"I want to be stronger than anyone else. I want to be stronger than Teacher Greg, more than Teacher Melinda, more than Jin, more than anyone else. I can't right now. But I want to be one day. Because that's my dream."

Elsa remembered. Elsa's mother fell ill after giving birth to herself, unable to move, as she used to. But before that happened, I heard he was a very strong man. I still remember being strong enough, but wondering how old I used to be. And I thought that I had made my mother weak like that, and I started wanting to be strong, and stronger than anyone else, from sometime until my mother's minute. But when I grew up and became an adventurer and learned about reality, I stopped dreaming like that. I was trying to be strong, but I gave up that I couldn't. That's when I met Jin and I was attracted to that talent, and at the same time I was jealous of that talent. That's what Elsa thought the emotions that were swirling in her until just now were meant to say. But I remember the dream I had, and Elsa felt clear.

"Yeah. Then look at me. Not what I think, but look up there. If you're going to compare it, you have to compare it at the highest level."

That's what Jin said with a laugh. I felt Elsa's mood clear.

"Yeah, right. I'm sorry I let you down in a weird place."

Finally, a smile returned to Elsa's face.

"Oh, yeah"

And Jin adds. Even Jin has dreams.

"One of my dreams is to have enough power to protect people around me properly. So if Elsa's gonna be the strongest, she's gonna have to be stronger to protect Elsa."

Saying you protect it doesn't always mean it's all physical. But I dare to simplify this place, Jin says. to this hard-working cute rival.

"I don't want to be the strongest, but I don't want to lose to Elsa. We'll keep fighting each other, Elsa."

Jin laughs so nicely that he hangs a blast on Elsa.

"Oh, I can't beat you either"

Yeah, Elsa smiles back, too. He then offered his hand from either side and exchanged a hard handshake. So after a few moments, we blew each other out and laughed. What is common to that laugh is gratitude for meeting an unattainable competitor.

That's how the two laughing bright laughs echoed with this wide grassland breeze.
