Chapter 55 – Episode 52 – Dungeon Preparation!
When I arrived at the door of my room at the dorm, Lisbeth came out of the next room at just the right time.
Lisbeth saw the envelopes in my hands, her eyes widened and she asked what it was all about.
“My sister Rihanna made a lot of clothes for me. Thanks to you, I won’t have to worry about clothes for a while.”
“Huh. Miss Rihanna…”
Uh uh… Lisbeth, I think her eyes have sharpened a bit… You’re not really jealous, are you? I don’t think it’s that stage yet…
Still, she quickly returned to her usual eyes, and she said to see her, and she came into my room together.
That’s how she and Lisbeth take out her clothes and organize them one by one. Today, when Rihanna told her story, Lisbeth said in a slightly bitter voice.
“Yeah… I liked the clothes there, but it’s a bit disappointing. Rihanna’s sense was pretty good.”
Lisbeth hasn’t seen the second floor yet, has she? She wants to try on some of the clothes on the second floor… Can she go with me before the store closes?
After putting her clothes in order while thinking about that, she told me that Als was looking into the dungeon.
“Yes. That’s right. I should start focusing on my adventurer activities soon.”
While talking about it, she and Lisbeth came out of the dorm, deciding to look around the smithy to match my equipment.
************************************************** ************************************************** *******
When she visited blacksmiths, most of them expressed their reluctance to make equipment that fit my body. It was because the molds and tools were a bit difficult and cumbersome to make usable armor for my size. It’s not possible, but I can’t imagine being rejected because it’s annoying and difficult…
Then a blacksmith said that it would take some time, but it was possible and measured my body type. Thank god. I almost had to go around naked without any armor.
When I said that it would be better to wear active armor rather than wearing a full set of armor because of his size, the blacksmith owner with a slightly strict impression nodded and wrote down my order.
After that, he explained the material and the armor to be made here and there, but from what I heard, it seemed to be the appropriate metal for most adventurers’ armor, so he asked me to adjust it myself.
After the owner had written something down, he told me that it was 5 gold coins when the price went to 1 gold coin as a deposit. The armors that are said to be made of the same material cost 2-3 gold coins… But it’s made to order, so what’s the point of asking for it to be cut?
However, I got dizzy again when I heard that it would take a couple of months due to the large number of reservations, and then said that if it was armor that only protected the arm or chest, I could use it even now, so I just ordered an arm protector like an iron plate and a piece of leather armor that was tightened with a string. Showed
“How is it? I wonder if I can use this enough.”
“It’s a little strange that leather armor is in the forge. Do you handle leather too?”
“They said they only got leather and added sheet metal to the inside like this. Most blacksmiths do this.”
Oh… I thought it was simple leather, but I can see small iron plates attached to the inside.
Soon the shop owner put the armor on me… But it’s small. The abs are a bit exposed. But if custom armor takes that long, I’ll have to use this at least.
Soon after, I matched the arm guard, tapped it a few times from the inside, and wrapped it around my arm. This one also leaves some elbows, but it’s better than nothing.
“It would be nice to have a greaves as well, but those legs look a little tired.”
Well… It’s definitely a bit of a headache to fit the armor on these retro-jointed legs. It seems that the custom-made price suddenly makes sense just by fitting it to this leg.
And when I tried to look at the weapons, most of the weapons that seemed a little expensive were over 10 gold coins. Even if you can’t buy it now and receive the lord’s compensation, it’s a bit burdensome.
However, the blacksmith who was watching me told me that if it was my first time using a weapon, it would be better to find a shape that fits my hand with a cheap weapon before I have a weapon that I am familiar with. It sounded plausible after hearing it for a while, so I bought a cheap sword that was a little less than 1 meter long.
That’s how armor, arm guards, and even a sword cost me 1 gold coin and 20 silver coins. I paid 1 gold coin for the custom armor deposit and left the smithy.
“I thought it would be a week or two… But I’m glad I have something I can use right away. I almost went to the dungeon naked.”
“Um, are you still a little anxious? I need to prepare a lot of recovery potions and wound medicines.”
Still, it wouldn’t be too difficult if the management center assigned the dungeons to suit us. Shouldn’t it be okay to think that you’re learning a weapon or a hand?
“The cost is a little more painful than that. Aside from custom-made, it’s just cheap clothes and swords, but I didn’t expect to receive them in gold coins.”
“Originally, armor and weapons are like that.”
Lisbeth’s wand was a pretty good wand she got when she graduated from magic school, so it didn’t cost any money, and Als got a cheap weapon from an adventurer’s training center and used it.
Even Ars’ ordinary-looking sword was worth about 5 gold coins.
Hmm… Adventurers spend as much as they earn. A penniless person who suddenly succeeds as an adventurer is a tough story in Essentia.
“And I got a call from the church earlier in the morning. Come when it is convenient for you to receive the quest reward.”
Come to think of it, there was also a reward for Paul’s quest. Was it 5 gold coins? You can go get it together when you go to call Clea, right?
While carrying her armor and talking to Lisbeth on her way back to the lodging, a store that sells accessories suddenly caught her eye.
… Lisbeth said it was her birthday soon. The money I have left is a little less than 5 gold coins… Wouldn’t it be nice to have a suitable accessory?
Then what kind of jewelry are you buying for the rest? For some reason, Liz’s earrings catch her eye. No It wasn’t an earring, but an earring.
Small green earrings that didn’t seem to fit Lisbeth.
It’s not very noticeable, but every time I see it, it doesn’t feel right for Lisbeth. Wouldn’t hurt to get one for her birthday.
I took her Lisbeth’s hand and dragged her to her store for her accessories.
“Leeds. She said it was her birthday soon, right?”
“Uh? Wait a minute. A trinket from a store like this for her birthday is too much… What I said the other day was just a joke!”
“No way. Are you okay. Didn’t I tell you to prepare something expensive? I haven’t received any compensation, but I still have the money to buy a trinket.”
Saying that, I went into the store with Lisbeth, and was greeted by a young female clerk who looked a little younger. Could it be the store owner’s daughter?
Lisbeth seems to refuse until she enters the store, but when she enters the store together and sees the colorful trinkets, she examines the store with a rather curious gaze. It’s not like he’s not interested at all.
The store clerk was still surprised to see me, but she pointed at Lisbeth and said that she had come to look for matching earrings.
“Hmm… I think something like this would suit Liz.”
I said, putting the red earring that caught her eye on Lisbeth’s ear.
A rather splendid and large garnet-like red jewel hangs from it, and a short string with small jewels stretched underneath it. At the end of the drooping area, a small but gorgeous red jewel is finished.
Overall, these earrings fit well with Lisbeth’s image and add splendor.
“It’s pretty…But it’s burdensome because it looks so glamorous…”
“Liz suits her like this.”
After saying that, I asked the clerk the price, and he said 2 gold coins and told me the effect of this and that earring. It seems that it is not a simple accessory store, but an accessory store close to magic tools with various functions.
Lisbeth was burdened by her price, then again expressed her disapproval when she saw the shape of her earrings.
“You need to get your ears pierced. I’ve never had my ears pierced before…”
“Isn’t it okay to pierce it right now? If you don’t have your ears pierced, there’s not much you can wear.”
“Eh… Ear piercing is a little bit…”
Well, it’s a bit much to pierce an enormous size piercing or several, but isn’t it okay for a girl to pierce her ears with a normal size like this?
The clerk also recommended getting her ears pierced, perhaps thinking the same way as I did, and started persuading Lisbeth by adding various words.
Lisbeth, who had been listening to me and the clerk, looked back to me as if she would soon confirm.
“Are you really okay? Two gold coins for a birthday present is too much…”
“It’s okay. Think of it as a token of my appreciation.”
He quietly whispered into Lisbeth’s ear, so only she could hear.
“It takes care of my libido every night, and I wonder if this is rather cheap. I’ll get a reward tomorrow and I’ll take care of more.”
When I said that, Lisbeth looked at me with her blush on her face, and as if she had made up her mind, she said to the clerk,
“Then I’d like to pierce my ears…”
Lisbeth pulled her earring out of her ear as she approached the clerk, and she looked for a moment at the little green earring in her hand. His expression and gestures look like he’s worried about something. Did Ars give you a present?
“Do you cherish that? Still, I think Lisbeth’s appearance is a bit disappointing.”
“…Ah, no. It’s just… She was given a gift…”
Saying so, Lisbeth puts on her earrings and follows her clerk inside. Her clerk brought an object with an ear piercing needle in her hand and held it up to Lisbeth’s ear, she said.
“It will sting a little~”
“I’m sorry…!”
After she had her ears pierced and her clerk helped her put on the earrings, she held her mirror in front of Lisbeth’s eyes. Examining her own face, Lisbeth said shyly.
“…It’s pretty…”
“It’s because Lisbeth is pretty.”
When Lisbeth heard me, she smiled and blushed. The clerk, who was looking at her, added her thanks.
“You look really good. Shin-soo has an eye for it. Her girlfriend, I think her appearance has become much more beautiful!”
“Hey, I’m not your girlfriend…”
“Oh, excuse me! The atmosphere seems to be like that, so stop…”
I’m a bit surprised by the clerk who says I’m my girlfriend even after seeing my appearance. Still, you’re a girlfriend, you say that little clerk quite likes it.
Looking at Lisbeth who was so embarrassed, she paid her two gold coins and purchased her earrings.
“Immediately after getting your ears pierced, you have to wear them for about two weeks. And you need to disinfect it from time to time, but with this…”
While telling Lisbeth, who had pierced her ears, her precautions, etc., He gave her an earring case and a small note with precautions written on it.
She said as Lisbeth muttered as she left the store and went back to the inn.
“I have to keep kicking…”
“Why? What’s wrong?”
When I asked, she stared at me, and Lisbeth shook her head and smiled.
“No. Are you okay. Thank you for the gift, Sema.”
After you become my female, I will give you a more expensive gift, so look forward to it.
I said that to myself, and Lisbeth and I entered the entrance of the inn looking at each other with smiles.
