Chapter 123 – Necessity (5)
There is no particular reason for choosing the Yongsan Mugu shopping district as a date course.
“Ku-k-k-k! Hey, look at that shield. Doesn’t that look bigger than Elena’s?”
“I think it can be used only if you have a characteristic like supernatural strength….”
This is because the equipment displayed in numerous stores is a spectacle in itself.
The fun is even more special for hunters who need to pay a lot of attention to their equipment.
You can find your own fun just by showing the equipment made of different shapes and materials, guessing its use, and evaluating its efficiency.
Moreover, Shin Yoo-jung is a person who is infinitely sincere about her job as a hunter.
In other words, this place can be said to be a customized dating course for her and only her.
“A… , That seems to have little practical use.”
My heart is at rest for an hour.
It’s a course I chose with the guy in mind, but if you don’t like it, isn’t it a joke?
Seeing that he was having so much fun and chattering, I don’t think it was a wrong choice.
Around the time I looked around half of the building in Building D.
“Hey, didn’t you come here to buy equipment?”
“I was going to buy something I liked, but so far there hasn’t been anything.”
“Huh… , Do you have very high eyes?”
Hehe, is it?”
She smiled awkwardly at the man’s words.
Eyes are high. It is inevitable.
Until just a few months ago, all of the equipment I was using was either a masterpiece made by a master craftsman or only the highest quality equipment found in dungeons from time to time.
It was only natural that the equipment in Building D did not catch my attention.
“Then let’s just go straight to Building C. If I look back anyway, I don’t think I’ll be satisfied with your last name.”
“So, then.”
Get out of Building D, which is reminiscent of Dottegi Market.
I was about to head straight to building C, which is not that far away, but I saw Yoo-jung’s eyes fixed on one spot.
Wanting something, I checked and found it to be a street vendor selling food.
Chicken skewers coated with bright red sauce are sizzling over the fire.
The guy sees it and swallows his saliva.
It looks like it wants to eat.
“Shall we eat chicken skewers one at a time? My mouth is a bit bored.”
“Oh, is that so?”
The happy expression is cute.
We go to a street vendor where our eyes haven’t moved since a while ago and buy chicken skewers.
“Good men and women, good men and women! Are you on a date?”
“Yes, it’s a first date.”
“Oh my! It’s a good time, a good time There was a time when my husband and I were like that… , Ho Ho!”
Haha….”
I was surprised again.
25 years ago, when I was in a hot love affair with Han Joo-hee, I was not mistaken in the story I heard from the street vendor.
It is said that a luxury product is something that does not change over time.
“I put in one chicken skewer as a service! I love you pretty!”
“Yes, thank you.”
He took the chicken skewers piled up in tinfoil in his hand and started walking again.
He and I have an appetite close to those of gluttons, so we have to eat this much to go away from hunger.
Biting each piece of chicken skewers into my mouth, I entered Building C.
Sales clerks welcome you with a much calmer atmosphere than building D.
The lower the grade, the louder the building, and the higher the grade, the lower the decibel.
Because they all know that if you buy equipment in buildings C and B, it will quickly become difficult to lure the hustle and bustle through solicitation.
“If you want something, go and see it.”
At most, it’s all about stabbing once when passing by.
“It’s better here.”
“Is not it.”
In a calm atmosphere, they have heated discussions and check equipment.
Whether he’s trying to pick out my equipment, he’s looking at light equipment that’s good for wizards to wear, and asking me how I feel.
I really don’t have much desire to buy my own equipment.
After talking for a while, the guy pouted his lips.
“Hey, are you thinking of buying equipment?”
“Yes.”
“But why are you all so grim? Don’t you like what I picked?”
That’s because you picked the wrong number, son.
I smiled and held the boy’s hand.
“Follow me for a second.”
“Where are you going?”
“I will know when I go.”
The weakly dragged guy was taken to a weapon shop, especially a place that specializes in selling swords.
The name of the store is ‘Dragon’s Breath’.
The place where I used to buy equipment when I was a C-class hunter when I was very young.
When I first saw this place, I was shocked twice.
Because of the fact that the shop still exists at that time and the quality of the equipment is not pushed back at all compared to then.
“Wow… , How long have you been here?”
Shin Yoo-jung, who looked around her shop, stuck out her tongue.
Then, in the deepest part of the store, an unfamiliar voice answered his question.
“It’s been 30 years.”
A voice full of twists and turns evokes nostalgia.
In the depths of the store, a piece of wood… , No, a man with a thick, muscular body… , No, inspiration walked out.
“… OMG.”
Without realizing it, I let out a sigh through upbringing.
Why does that inspiration come from over there… ?
“Did you come to see the weapon?”
I suddenly came to my senses at the question of inspiration and nodded.
“Ah, yes.”
“What kind do you want?”
“It’s a one-handed sword. About 70 to 80 cm long?”
The gaze of the inspiration goes to Shin Yoo-jung, who is standing with a puzzled expression.
“I don’t think it’s the right length for you, and it looks like something the girl next to you will use.”
Upon hearing that, Shin Yoo-jung’s eyes widened and she pointed at her with her finger.
“Uh? Me?”
I replaced her question with an answer to my inspiration.
“Yes, that’s right.”
“Hmm… , Will you see for yourself, or will you choose?”
“I’ll see for myself first.”
“… It’s a good choice. Then take a quick look around. As long as the weapon doesn’t get damaged, you can wield it as much as you like.”
“Thank you.”
A fairly generous service.
If it was like any other store, I would have only touched it.
I’m slowly looking around the weapons hanging in the store, but Shin Yu-jeong grabs my arm and stops me.
“Hey, what are you talking about? Did you come to see my weapon?”
“What are you talking about? Literally.”
“So, why are you suddenly looking at my weapon?”
“Because it is time to change.”
“What?”
Shin Yu-jung’s current weapon is an ordinary D-class shortsword.
Approximate duration of use… , It’s been about 2 years.
Although she used it while taking good care of it in her own way, it was time for her lifespan to come to an end.
If she looked closely at the sword, she was starting to see a few tiny teeth missing.
It’s better to replace it with a new one at this point than to grind it all up and use it.
The sword is a means of harm and at the same time a means of protecting my own life, so I must never neglect it.
After explaining in detail, he looks at me suspiciously.
“… Why do you know so quickly about weapons?”
“Yeah….”
It’s because I was an S-class hunter who mainly uses swords, because I can’t say….
“This is the first thing to say… , Actually, I’m a weapon geek.”
Let’s put on the image of Deokhu.
“… You?”
“Uh, me.”
I’m like that, but what are you going to do?
“When I was always stuck in the corner of my room, I roamed the Internet looking for pictures of games or weapons.”
“… Ah, you were the worst person in the corner of the room.”
I have changed so much that I must have forgotten what kind of person I was in the past.
I took the quiet guy and slowly looked around the sword.
The current shortsword was light in weight, so it was not suitable for his strength.
Being light means fast, but at the same time, it also means that the attack has less power.
“Hey….”
When I look at the weapons, admiration comes out.
None of the weapons displayed are of uniform quality.
No matter what.
What kind of inspiration is that inspiration, but I will make something with defects.
Knowing that the quality was uniform, I picked a suitable one and presented it to Shin Yoo-jung.
“Hold this one.”
“Uh, uh.”
The guy holding the handle of the sword with a bewildered expression.
“How do you feel?”
“Uh… , You seem okay?”
That’s not too bad in its current state.
Currently, the string wrapped around the handle is only formally wrapped, so if you untie it and rewind it to fit the guy’s hand, the grip will be much better.
“Take a swing.”
The guy steps back and swings his sword lightly.
Seeing the corners of his mouth rise slightly whenever the sharp blade cut through the air, it seemed that he liked the taste of his swing.
“Good?”
“Uh? Uh… , This is fine… ? It’s heavier than the one I’m using now, so it must taste like cutting, huh.”
“Then this time….”
After that, I tried to hold a few more swords in my hands.
But in the end, the first one is the best.
So, with Yujeong’s hand in one hand and the sword in the other, she headed to the counter.
“I’ll take this one.”
“Hmm… , You have a very good eye.”
The insight that inspiration speaks of is probably not the eye that selects quality.
After all, the quality of weapons here is almost the same.
Here, discernment means the ability to select the weapon that best suits a person.
“It is 850. The weapon seems to have found its owner well, so I’ll take care of it for free for the next two years.”
“8, 850?”
Upon hearing the price, Shin Yoo-jung’s eyes widened.
Unexpected price.
Actually I didn’t expect either.
“… Is it cheaper than you think?”
Cheaper than expected
Building C is where equipment ranging from about 5 to 10 million won is displayed.
And the weapons hung here are very slightly unfortunate to be B-class.
So, of course, I thought I would get 10 million won full… , 1.5 million won cheap.
But we cannot stop here.
“Will you give me a scabbard too?”
“Huh, I think I just said you were cum with your mouth.”
“The cheaper the better.”
Then, the old man laughed out loud.
“Uhhaha! Yes, the cheaper the better, cancer.”
An old man with a sword in his hand enters the workshop in the back, and soon brings a sheath.
A sword in a scabbard is packed in a rugged box.
“Come on, take it.”
I received the box and immediately put it in Yu-jeong’s arms.
Then the guy puts one hand in his pocket, pulls out a card and holds it out to the old man.
I snatched the card from my trembling fingertips and returned it to the guy’s pocket.
“Uh, hey… !”
While he frowned, I took out my card and handed it to the old man.
“Please do with this.”
“You’re a big boyfriend.”
Hehe, is that so?”
That’s my money sense.
Even if you can’t buy a luxury bag worth several million won, you can buy a sword worth 8.5 million won.
You don’t have to have the former, but having the latter is reassuring.
“You you… ?”
The pupils of the guy holding the box containing the sword in his arms were shaking violently.
As I was handing over the payment card, the old man asked me.
“How did you know about this store?”
“Uh… , Did you get a recommendation?”
“Oh, it’s a recommendation. Someone’s?”
I smiled and answered the inspiration’s words.
“The national hunter.”
“… Is that so?”
“Yes. So I think we will see each other often in the future.”
“There is no reason to refuse to say that it will increase sales. Come any time.”
“Okay, then, enough for today.”
I grab the hand of the guy who still doesn’t know what to do and leave the store.
I didn’t have anything else to live for anyway, so I just left the building itself.
Only then did Shin Yoo-jeong’s face move slightly as she was hit by the cold air.
“Hey, what are you doing?”
In a not-so-good way.
“Whatever, it’s a gift.”
“Who wants to buy you something like this?”
“You can buy it.”
I grab the shoulder of Yoo-jung, who is frowning, and pull her in front of me.
Facing her face from a very close distance, he parted her lips.
“We can do this enough between us.”
In the future, we will get closer and do more things.
When the trembling in his pupils subsided and his cheeks were dyed a pretty pink color.
A translucent spear popped up, separating him from me.
[Participant 504?]
[ Now… , What are you doing here?]
