Good afternoon!

I gave a cheerful greeting before entering the weapon shop.

Oji-san immediately noticed me, stopped working and started a conversation.

Oh, Myne boy! Lively as always, arent ya!

He greeted me with a smile.

Since he always treats me warmly, I should be able to discuss with him without worries.

He even prepared a wonderful weapon like the Steel Dagger +12 for me I am very grateful for that.

However, since I ruined such a precious weapon, Im a little uneasy about whether hell get angry at me.

And, how can I help you? Is it weapon maintenance?

Seeing that I hesitated in replying to his question, oji-san probably became suspicious and asked Whats wrong?.

Im sorry, oji-san. The amazing dagger you previously gave me snapped

As I dejectedly answer him, oji-san looked at me blankly for an instant, and immediately grinned widely.

Ah, I see. So thats what you hesitated in saying? Dont worry about that.

However, for that to snap, what the heck did you fight?

Phew, it seems like hes not angry.

But the opponent, huh I wonder if hell believe me if I say I fought an OrcKing?

I dont want to lie to oji-san who Im indebted to, so Ill tell him the truth, though I am a little worried.

An An OrcKing

Thats weird, have my ears gone funny? Boy, say it again

It was an OrcKing

This time, oji-san did not ask me to repeat it, but was silent.

He seemed to be thinking about something for a moment, but asked me a question after letting out a sigh.

I dont think youre lying but as expected, that sounds too crazy.

Do you have some kind of proof? If what you said is true, Ill bring out a weapon thatll meet your needs

Proof, huh, I only have its magic stone, but I wonder if hell understand with just that?

Ill just show him the magic stone for now.

I placed the OrcKings magic stone, which I took out from my storage bag, onto the counter.

I only have this though

Oji-san stared at the magic stone with his eyes in perfect circles.

W, what a big magic stone I cant judge whether its an OrcKings, but

Sorry for that, boy

While I looked at Oji-san, who let out a deep sigh, I placed the magic stone back into my storage bag.

Oji-san pondered for a moment before going to the back of the store.

I wonder if I should have done that.

After waiting for about five minutes, oji-san came out with a small box.

This is the dagger with the best abilities in this store

As he said that, oji-san took out a dagger from the box and placed it in front of me.

Attack : +50

Attribute: Lightning

Special trait: Critical

It looks amazing, but wont this be really expensive??

This is a drop from a dungeon guardian, a dagger said to have a magical attribute

Said to have?

When the guy who got this in a dungeon used this dagger, it was clad in lightning.

Because of that, nowadays nobody believes in its worth as a magic dagger

Thats weird. Since my appraisal says that it has the lightning attribute, theres no doubt that this is a magic dagger, but.

The truth is, the person who brought this from the dungeon was a customer of mine.

Theres no doubt that this is a magic dagger, but I think theres some kind of condition before it can be used as a magic dagger.

How is it, wont you try using it?

Un, theres no problem with it.

From the appraisals results, its a magic dagger.

However, Im curious about the activation condition Oji-san mentioned.

Oji-san, Im interested in this dagger, but how much is it?

Let me see, considering that its a magic dagger, I want to sell it for 5 platinum coins but.

As Ive said just now, its effects as a magic dagger is as of now unclear. How about 80 gold coins?

That cheap!? Is it okay for a magic dagger to have such a price!?

Oji-san, is such a price okay? Ive said this before, but wont you be on the losing side?

Uhahahahahahaha, I, too, have said this before, a kid like you shouldnt be worrying for an adult.

Well, are you buying it? Or are you not?

Ill buy it! Also, do you have anything for grappling like a knuckle guard or something?

Hm? Boy, you can grapple too?

As he said that, he walked to the back of the store again.

I waited once more, and oji-san came back in three minutes with a weapon for grappling called a cestus.

This can stand in for a knuckle guard, though it doesnt have great abilities since its a mass-produced product

Attack : +6

Strong against : None

Un, although its ability certainly isnt high, this will suffice for now.

Oji-san, Im buying this! How much is it?

The total for both of the items is 80 gold coins and 10 silver coins

I feel sorry for taking advantage of his goodwill I gratefully paid him and returned home.

The owner spoke to himself while drinking sake inside the shop.

Hey, Dyne, your sons become a splendid man.

He defeated a Calamity Class. Perhaps, like you, he was blessed with quite a good Skill.

I sold that to your son, Myne, today. Of course, I sold it to him at a special price, so dont worry.

Your son will succeed your intentions. I couldnt be happier, you know

The owner muttered to himself as tears spilled from his eyes.

AN:

Thank you very much for always reading.

Impressions and evaluations left will become my encouragement.

Please treat me well.
