The picturesque rice cakes are delicious today

'Do you want me to kill you for now', and for a moment, I didn't know what you were talking about.

However, if the shopkeeper comes out with a knife from under the counter... to the boulder, I can tell this first.

The knife put out by the shopkeeper was thrown at me.

If I rushed to avoid it, now suddenly, something sharp and glowing protrudes from the right edge of my vision. I avoided this almost like a reflex. [M]

Avoid, lose your posture, but I managed to look back... and again, something shining sharply at me was about to roll out.

It glows sharply, maybe, a knife. Here comes the second one.

And with the second knife, he was after me... inside the store, other customers. No, it wasn't a customer, it was a related party, I guess. Originally, he seemed to know someone at the store.

"You were unlucky, boy!

I managed to avoid the knife coming at me, rolling down the floor. I'm lucky. The knife that targeted me stuck him on the floor.

It's not like you missed the paperwork.

"What, you can't run anymore anyway. Let's do it carefully."

Don't take it off next time.

While I'm asking you to take it off next time, I guess even if I ask you to do it anyway, I'll come and guess... I'll manage to get up and get up.

The situation is as if I don't know. When I walked into a pawnshop-like store, they were going to kill me as soon as possible.

And......

"Nevertheless... I'm surprised our rival or his companion came here to kill us with a fortune."

People in the store laugh when they say that.

... What the hell does this mean?

First of all, one of the reasons you're after me right now is money, I guess.

Yeah, I did, I left my bag of money. Would it have been a detour?

But more than money... it seems like I'm about to be killed now because I'm here to buy that sword.

The reaction of the store people also went crazy when they found out I was here to buy a sword. So maybe that's what this is about.

... These people were referring to me as "our enemy or one of them". Does that mean... that 'people who come to buy swords' are 'rivals'? Then Laocles, who was staring at that sword...

I couldn't afford to think any more. Soon the next knife will come. I run all at once low and head to the store door avoiding the knife thrown by the shopkeeper. But before we get to the door, one more person, someone who was a guest, gets stuck. I was supposed to avoid the axe that the person wielded, and I couldn't get close to the door inside.

While doing so, another customer closes the door key from the inside and approaches it with a knife as it is. Another knife flew in from somewhere and broke the pot that was around there. The baked goods crack but the noise sounds awful.

An axe swung down there, rushing to avoid it. Then one of the shelves in the store broke and it sounds amazing again.

... so while I was running around, I was totally pushed.

It's not that big of a store. There is no escape.

... This might not be a good idea.

"... it doesn't look like you're going to kill me simply because you want money"

When I said that, the shopkeepers and customers laughed.

"Money? I want money. As much as you want. How much for what the kid's got? If that's all you've got, it'll be the middle forehead, right?

After I said that... the store people continued.

"But you do. If it was just money, you wouldn't have taken it to life."

Right. I knew it.

"Then what if I told you that I wanted that sword simply because it was beautiful?

"Not now. It's like saying you know what you're talking about."

I have trouble being told that. I know it, but I don't know any details about it.

Because Laocles was watching, because maybe he simply used a sword before he became a slave, and that made him nostalgic, or something.

...... but. But something, I'm sure, catches on.

If that sword had anything to do with Laocles? What the hell can you expect there to be? What brings these people to the outrageous idea of 'killing everyone who has shown an interest in that sword'?

... How did Laocles become a slave in the first place?

"Could that sword have killed a man?

That's why I heard.

… Then the store person answered with a smile.

"Oh, yeah. The sword you wanted was the sword of the men who killed our dear, dear husband!

And towards me, a knife or an axe looms...

... that was then.

The store door rattles.

The people at the store were frightened for a moment by the sound.... shortly thereafter.

Bang, and it sounded amazing, and the door... kicked in.

Blowing doors. And door fragments. Then part of the wall.

... scattered those things, and it was... laocles that came in.

For a moment Raocles and I got eyes on each other. And right after that, Laocles was already on the move.

First he threw his stuff. Large chunks of cheese and chunks of bread. per bag.

... the chunk of cheese hits the torso of one of the guests with momentum, causing him to fall on the spot.

"Oh no...!

In addition, Laocles wielded a shopping bag in his hand and punched the side of the head of someone in the store who was surprised at something. Throw away the shopping bag as it is and he sets one hand free.

And Laocles confronts... one of his guests with an axe with a raw ham.

... Wow. Raw ham is starting to look like such a stick. There was definitely one in the Hercules statue, wasn't there? Hercules with these sticks also......

Raw ham. Raocles with this stick, it was amazing. Take the axe with the raw ham, grab the customer's chest barn with your left hand, and poke him in the head.

I see the guy from the store who's been up, and now I'm gonna beat you up with a raw ham.

... Wow. Really amazing. Laocles is so strong.

Strong, and... amazing, beautiful.

Is moving muscle so beautiful? The muscle boost in your arm when you shake it. The movement of the body that is distracted when avoiding flying knives. of tense muscles, never possible with just sculpture, a sense of dynamism.

... No, I know it's not if you're being seen. But the battle of Laocles is so one-sided... just watching, the battle is over.

Looking down at the three people who fell on the floor, Laocles sighed small.

Then he looked at me... and looked at me awkwardly... and turned to me... and reached out to me.

I accidentally flaunted myself, but I didn't have the shock my body had a hunch for, it was just, Pong, and Laocles' hand was put over my head.

Then, clumsily, his hand moves. Me, me, me.

"... annoyed"

"Huh?"

Laocles says he's not sure, then picks up the shopping bags and cheeses and bread he was throwing away and tries to leave the store.

What's annoying... in the store? Well, the door did break, the shelves broke, and the merchandise broke for what it cost. But maybe that's not what Laocles said...

"... you bothered me, you think, ru?

I asked hesitantly, and Laocles stopped and then just said it was small, yes.

"Um, it was me who bothered you. I walked out on my own, and things got weird. I'm sorry."

I immediately followed Laocles and apologized properly there.

I bothered him. I found a slice of his thoughts on my own, and I went to catch it. Without confirming what he might want.... Reflecting.

When I apologize, Laocles also looks awkward. I don't know what to say, or I don't know how to say it.

"You were watching me... watching that sword."

"Yeah."

"So you moved. I know that. Then it's like I'm involved."

"Yeah.... I should have asked you properly if I could go buy that sword. I shouldn't have been afraid to ask."

Somehow, I felt like I shouldn't ask. Because Laocles said something, and then I felt sure he wouldn't tell me that. Still, even if they didn't tell me, I wanted to make what he thought come true.

Maybe it was crowded. That's all.

"... In the meantime, we're going back. Because that nobleman will be lost."

Yeah, speaking of which, you annoyed Faye, too. Oh, my God, he's on the road...

...... yeah.

That's how I tried to chase Laocles out of the store... I remember.

Why did you come to this store in the first place?

"Um, Laocles"

Now it's time to listen properly. His will. I'm not weighing it on my own. Don't let me be afraid. [M]

... but I couldn't say beyond that.

I thought there was a strange noise... a corner of a rough store, in the hands of a man in a fallen store, something black.

That, as soon as I thought.

It sounded awesome. The ground rocks. There are many, many heavy sounds that something breaks, it sounds.

... and.

"This is... oh my God"

Black black, an indeterminate haunt like the one made by collecting the darkness of the night... breaking through the ceiling, with its large body, looking down at us slowly.
