Transition to Another World, Landmines Included

- Bookstore.

My first visit was to a bookstore with only one in this city.

It is the hope of Hulka.

Small store about 10 sqm deep in size.

A little dim, with the impression of an old bookstore setting up a shop in the alley.

However, there is something very different from what I imagine when I hear about bookstores.

First of all, the sales floor area is very small.

There is a counter at the entrance to the store, just moments after entering, and there is not a single bookshelf in that area, only a small table is placed.

That table is just loaded with worn-out books, and the books that are normally for sale are housed on a bookshelf arranged behind the counter.

There's a gray-haired grandfather sitting at the counter, so he can't go in the back of it.

In other words, 'you can look at worn out books, but don't let them touch ordinary books' is the arrangement.

I don't even have to think about the reason, probably because the book is expensive.

"You're buying something?

"Yep. I've told you before, magic books, you're here, right? And the basics, but also the phylogenetic magic, and I want to take it to the next level."

"Sure. I'm still level one."

"But you're buying it now? To go on an expedition? Sounds heavy, huh?

That's what Toya tells me, look at the bookshelf over the counter.

A good atmosphere is fantastic, with books that look great with the image of being heavy.

Never an easy book, like a paperback or a literary book.

If you weigh, it must be in kilograms.

"... what do we do?

"... price research, yeah. Let's do that."

"Really, the luggage problem is huge when it's real..."

Put it on something. That pulls my leg.

Conversely, as long as I can make a magic bag, I can make a lot of progress.

"Excuse me. I'm looking for a magic book..."

"Which one?

When Hulka spoke to his grandfather, he only glanced up at Chirali from the book he had in his hand and asked him so.

"Some books about foundations and water, wind, light, fire, space-time, that and alchemy"

"... Hmm. Wait a minute."

Standing up with the books down, Grandpa pulled some books out of the bookshelf behind him and arranged them on the counter.

"This is the foundation, the contents are almost identical, but not 15,000 and 20,000 rare. This is water, light, fire. 30,000 Rare, 36,000 Rare, 25,000 Rare, respectively. The Alchemy Dictionary is out of stock."

Ha, ha!

I imagined it, but it was more than that.

Hundreds of thousands of yen a book...

"Fine. Is the price difference between that beautiful?

"Bye. If you just read it, 15,000 over here will be enough."

If you compare the two foundational magic books lined up, they do have a cheaper Grassy Bedroom "Every Time," and the fitting looks a little cheaper.

I don't even buy art, and for those of us who read inside, it would be a cheaper option to buy.

"What about wind and space-time?

"There is no wind and space. The wind arrives occasionally, but space-time is almost impossible."

"Really?"

It seems that space-time magic is still unusual.

I can't sell magic books without someone to use them, and I don't receive things that I can't sell.

Naturally.

Since publishers and wholesalers do not exist in the first place, it seems difficult in itself to obtain the intended book.

The majority are ancient books let go by sorcerers and aristocrats, and rarely do new editions, as well as new copies, arrive.

There is the profession of a photographer, but the number of people seems to be small because of the low demand for books, not only because of the reading and writing, but also because of the financial ability to obtain the original books, the connections to those who have the books, and undoubtedly the guts and focus to copy them.

"Grandpa, what's the book on this table over here?

"That's disposable. All 2,000 rare copies, but I'm not complaining if the page falls out."

"Heh, cheap...?

No, no, it's not cheap to have an old book from a wagon sale and it's not worth 20,000 yen.

I almost mistook the height of a normal book.

But I'm curious about something like this.

I did run out when I took it in my hand.

If I had it, it would collapse, there's no such thing as missing a cover, loose spelling and separated pages, or really missing pages......

That's why there seems to be some interesting books.

"Nao, you're gonna buy it again, right?

"... right"

I just want to look for digs, but now I regret not being able to add more luggage.

He pulls my hand behind my hair at the table, and Hulka gently meets his grandfather.

"Thank you. I'll be back for you."

"Well, I'll wait till I don't expect it."

Back to back, we thanked our grandfather, who seemed a little in a good mood, and left the store behind.

- Clothing store.

Here too is the hope of Hulka.

"Do you have something to do? You've had enough for now, haven't you?

I bought clothes thinking about washing them, but thanks to Hulka's [purification] I don't need to wash them or even dry them.

I change clothes in the mood during the day and when I go to bed, but in the extreme argument, those two clothes are enough.

"You bought cheap and durable clothes now anyway. Wouldn't it be nice to wear, design or upgrade a little? Clothes, food, living. It's very important to live, isn't it?

"Right. Clothes are important too."

No, are you there?

I wear skin clothes as protective equipment over cloth clothes at work, so I can barely see them.

Taking it off is like sleeping clothes, about relaxing time until you finish dinner and go to bed.

We're the only ones who can see it.

You don't have to, do you?

Isn't that a waste?

Naturally, I'll tell Halka that too.

"Yeah, it could be good"

I don't have a wax.

Mouth out for a woman's choice of clothes can be a hassle.

That's what Toya and I have learned.

I'd like to improve my skills a little bit more if possible and get a talk technique that reduces the time for choosing clothes.

Should I try this one?

There can be no leveling without training.

When I glanced at Toya, I snorted and signed Ikeke.

"You know, Halka..."

The clothing store stayed only (...) for about 2 hours.

Of course, there's nothing I bought.

- Kamiya History, it is a total defeat.

- Weapon store.

This is Toya's hope.

Recently, Toya and I bought quite a few weapons, and Hulka and I came here to take in Toya's opinion that it's time to renew them because they are the lowest ranked weapons.

"Mr. Gantz, I'm interrupting."

"Ooh, oh, my God. Shit, you ready to buy a better weapon?

The one who welcomed me was Mr. Ganz, the Oyaji who has been looking after me since my first day.

Mr. Gantz didn't even say hello at first, but he was close enough to use it a few times, remember us as we talked, and give us advice.

"I bought it, didn't I? I'm here today to see Halka and Nao's."

Mr. Ganz laughs at such Toya's words with a hunched nose.

"It's probably just the sword. There's shields on top of the garbage, isn't there?

Garbage...

I bought some of Toya's armor pretty hard - although it was certainly cheaper than the others.

"Yeah, well, I don't have any money. I don't want to buy anything halfway. Or Mr. Gantz, will you fuck with me?

"I didn't say stupid. Oh, now I'm eating. It's so easy to get a discount! - Well, if you're gonna buy a bunch of them, I'm not gonna think about it. But hey."

Mr. Ganz, is that Tundre!?

No, well, actually, I've had a little bit of an omelet before.

"Besides, I'm not saving any money for you. Monster opponents, money is nothing for weapons or protective equipment. On the other hand, if you have a good weapon, you can protect yourself, and if you don't, you can sell it off, right?

"To the human opponent?

"You're a sprinkler. If Rookie makes you smell like gold, the troublemakers will stop by."

Once again, Mr. Gantz snorts and distorts his face in dissatisfaction.

That's what they told us. We looked at each other.

To be clear, we were anxious to carry a lot of money with us, too.

For those of us who were regular high school students, if we had more than 100,000 yen in our wallets, we'd be like, 'Why don't you drop it?' and anxiety levels.

Now, with about 100 times that amount of money, we're walking in less secure places than Japan.

There's no way I wouldn't be anxious.

I'd like to deposit it with a bank, if possible, but there's no mechanism in this world for individuals to at least deposit their money.

Lanobe, how good would it have been if you could have made a deposit with your guild card!

"Let's get this straight. You guys are ducks in other cities, right? Amateur rounded outfit, then the gold has quite the same vibe. Thank you for the security of this city."

They said we were ducks.

Are you wearing leeks or should I check your back?

"(What do we do?

"(Mr. Gantz has a point. I carry my wallet with me, too, I was a little scared)"

"(I think I can leave about 100,000 rare and use it later?

"(No, wait! I need money to buy a book)"

"(So, leave 200,000 to 300,000 and buy weapons and protective equipment, okay?

To the words of Hulka, we both snort.

"Have you talked to him?

"Yes. By the way, Mr. Gantz, may I ask which part of us looks like a duck?

"Beautiful outfit, cheap weapons and protective equipment, then one seems expensive weapon. You think Bombon brought a weapon from the house?

Pointed out, we compare to each other.

If you say so, it doesn't even look that way.

But in fact, we're not staying in a particularly expensive inn just because of Hulka's magical and beautiful outfit, and Toya's weapons just put us behind and bought it pretty hard.

It is true that I have money now.

"There are a certain number of idiots who don't think well and judge by their appearance alone. If we're going to avoid any trouble, we're going to need a little more than that, okay?

"Thank you. In the meantime, bows and spears, any good?

"Whoa, wait a minute."

That's what Mr. Gantz, who dropped back to the backyard, brought a while later with him two tense bows and two spears.

Arrange that on the counter.

"This is it first. Made from a composite of Elder Trent and Mithril, it uses a specially processed item on the yarn of Magi Spider in the string" Tsukuba ". The characteristic is to use the marksman's magic to make arrows. We're not gonna need arrow refills, are we?

Wow! It's just a magic weapon.

Expendable arrows compress both luggage and budget, so it's pretty convenient when it's no longer needed.

Pretty good, huh?

"Hmm. Aren't you supposed to use magic normally?

"... oh, I don't know. But you can't use magic on this. You can use it on humans. Besides, the activation time is short."

No, if it's Fire Arrow level, it's almost a moment for me, right?

Will it be too late for you to pull the bow?

Maybe it's good for humans, but a little subtle for elves?

"What's the price?

"The power isn't that great, so it's cheap. That's 7.8 million rare."

Too expensive.

Just to be clear, even a tenth is not worth buying for us.

If you have magic, you can use magic.

And Hulka instantly shakes his head, too.

"Yes, dismissed. At least we're not worth it"

"Shit! Well, you're an elf. Here it is, then. It is based on Trent's branches. It doesn't have any special effects, but it's a good bow."

"Can I pull it off for a second?

"Ooh."

Hulka takes the bow of the counter and pulls it several times to see how it feels.

It looks like a normal bow made of wood, but the texture of the tree, etc. looks pretty fine.

That's about it to figure out, and it's hard not to know how much it's actually worth.

"How much is this?

"Well, it's a regular bow. It's 80,000 rare."

"You've dropped all at once"

"That was a joke. I didn't think so."

"I guess. In the meantime, this is a keepsake. Let me see your spear."

"That's my recommendation. Yellow iron is used on the tip of the ear, and the pattern" eh "uses a rather hard tree called the pseudo-iron tree" Sticky ". It gets a little heavy, but the sharpness, the sturdiness, it's different digits, right?

I will receive the spear offered by Mr. Gantz and try to shake it gently.

A little heavy, for sure, but it would be acceptable.

The pattern of pseudo-iron wood looks like iron at first glance, but the feeling I touched does feel strange in the wood.

"The pseudo-iron tree is a little unusual. Originally hard, but by special processing, it becomes even harder. If you're dealing with iron, it won't even scratch you if you lose it. Then there is also the" scratch ". Ideal for a spear pattern."

That's awesome, Oi.

I think there was a substance in the original world that processed cellulose extracted from the tree and was lighter and stiffer than iron, but I don't think that one stays in its original form as a tree.

"The other one's a little special. Elf-tuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu, you use magic, right? He is a spear with a slightly magic rod function. If you use magic with a knack, it will be slight but powerful.

The tip is used to process the fangs of the serpentine demon. Not as hard as yellow iron, but harder than regular iron. The best thing about it is that it doesn't rust if you neglect to take care of it. "

This one is light compared to the first one.

Ease of handling is sure to be on top.

Though the tip is inferior to yellow iron, is it a considerable advantage to increase the power of magic without rust?

The tip of the snake's fangs feels a little strange, like a white polished ceramic.

It looks a little brittle.

"Whoa, you don't touch" Sawa "so badly on the tip, do you? If you stab him, he can eat poison."

"Whew!"

I can pull my finger in haste, which was about to play the tip of my ear.

"What is poison?

"That's magical processing. You don't have to worry about taking care of it, do you? The yellow iron is 140,000 rare, the other one is rare, but the spear and magic are rare, so 160,000 rare is fine."

Even if you don't reapply the poison, it works.

Sure, it's handy, but you're not eligible at a time when you can't use it for hunting.

I don't want to eat poisoned meat.

Yellow iron, is that a choice?

"By the way, Mr. Gantz, what is blue iron or yellow iron? It's not normal iron, is it?

This spear is yellow iron.

Toya uses the Blue Iron Sword.

There are other weapons made of black iron and red iron.

Looks like, 'Is the iron glow slightly blue?' To the extent that it is not bright blue or bright yellow.

"What, you don't know? I mixed something with iron and changed my nature. It's the alchemist who makes it. Buy that ingot and the blacksmith will process it. So, which way?

"Are you yellow iron? You know, pig hunting, poisoning, you get in trouble."

"Why not? The poison is magical, so you put it away for a while, and it won't go away, okay?

"Ugh... no, I knew it was yellow iron. Because I liked the touch of the pattern."

I was a little worried when I heard the poison disappeared, but I choose someone who feels tight in my hand.

To be honest, there is something quite appealing about magical effects...

"Ma, you know what? I'm not familiar with your hands. You shouldn't use weapons. Are these two good?

"No, because of this, I will also update Toya's shield and our protective gear. It's good, is there?

"Ooh, buy it, buy it. So make me money."

Mr. Gantz laughs happily gahaha,.

Around what you're saying is allergic but doesn't make you hate it, is it personable?

I was pretty heartless at first...... sometimes I'm just familiar with people.

"If it's your style of combat, it must be a small shield. These three are common guys, these two are the type to wear and handle on your arms. If you're the type to put it on your arm, you don't have to throw away your shield when handling it with both hands. But treating it like a shield makes it harder."

Having bows and spears we didn't choose, Mr. Gantz, who dropped back to the backyard again, now came back with five small shields.

Each difference is about the shape and weight, and there seems to be little difference in performance.

One more step of good stuff seems to increase the price by one digit, so we can't help it very much.

Toya eventually chose the type of shield she could wear on her arm after worrying as she repeatedly held the shield in her hand or put it on her arm.

"That's some protective equipment later. Oh, my God, is that Kuritaka Tartaru? If you're going to stand forward, it's not a bad idea to wear partial armor from above. Soft leather, hard leather, metal, I like that."

We follow Mr. Gantz's recommendation and choose a good quality companion as far as the budget allows.

On top of that, Toya also added metal breast plates and armor to protect the joints, and I added soft leather partial armor.

Hulka is a basic rear guard, a little inferior in health, so only Kusako.

Instead, they choose something a little more superior than ours.

"It's 560,000 rare, but I'll give it 550,000. Then I'll wear it under my armor."

Under the armor is a slightly thick and durable cloth that is worn under the clasp.

Normal clothes are expensive, but this is even more expensive for the durable.

"That's Mr. Gantz, chubby!

"Damn it! I'm going to serve most of you! Come and buy it before you save so much! You can't buy a life, can you?

Mr. Gantz, seriously a good man, who beats up hatred but worries me.

Maybe armor should have been updated sooner.

After I was even busy, I lost sight of it because it was only when Vipe Bear remembered the crisis.

I was a little overwhelmed at the time to update Toya's weapons, so I'm not overwhelmed.

"You're in a normal physique, so come and get it tomorrow morning. I'll tweak it by then. And then... if you don't want to stand out, put something on top of your clasp. Even a robe from the top. It's pretty conspicuous from reflecting light, huh?

"Thank you"

"Don't let a well-paid customer die! When you're done, don't go home. I'm going to have to adjust your armor, I'm not free!

Mr. Gantz was escorted to a stable hatred, and we left the weapons store behind.
