'Here, it's your reward.'

When we arrived at the wolf cart, the old man said that and took out money from the bag of rewards for defeating goblins that his sister had given him earlier.

''Huh? You can't get that!

What are you talking about? That's the reward for killing the goblins. You heard the other day.

'That's not what I'm talking about, we've got Grandpa to train us, we can't take that kind of thing.'

Don't worry about it. It's part of the training.

Apprenticeship?

Until now, the wolf boy has fought with short swords and wooden swords, but next time he will fight a monster stronger than a goblin. But now he plans to fight monsters stronger than goblins. So use the goblin's reward to buy a new, stronger weapon.

I see.

You are not accustomed to spending money and you are not an expert on weapons, are you? It's a good opportunity for you to learn a thing or two.

My new weapon of choice.

Well, the weapons will be made by the kid soon enough.

What?

Oh, really? It's your job, Stu!

No, no, no, no. That's a first. I've got my hands full with the woodwork, all right?

We've got plenty of time to spare, so just take your time.

Huh. Are you going to the armorer now?

No, I'll go to the armorer, but I'll go to the fabric store first. Sakuya and my grandmother asked me to buy a lot of cloth.

Oh, you've been sewing a lot lately.

And so we set out for the fabric store.

When we arrived at the fabric store, the old man chose the fabric at random.

I didn't even check the price, but I wonder if he's okay with it?

How many people do you end up making clothes for? I bought about as much dough as I could and overspent the money I got from buying the materials.

Then, as before, we purchased wheat, spices, liquor, etc., and arrived at our destination weapon shop.

This time we visited a mass shop for adventurers.

This place sells a few strikes, apprentice goods, used goods, etc.

Of course, there is no basic defective goods even if it is an apprentice's goods because the store is checked on the side.

It is natural, because even if it breaks during a battle, your life is in danger.

Well, I heard that the guy you bought it from has poor maintenance...

Incidentally, most of these stores are bought for novice adventurers or as spare weapons, including Cruz's short sword and Ilya's short bow.

It is said that veteran adventurers and older adventurers usually make custom-made weapons at a blacksmith shop.

Now, wolf boy, if you want to use your own weapon, why don't you choose it yourself?

'All right, master!

With that said, Cruz went to the corner where the one-handed swords were lined up.

''Well, I'll have a look at some things too~''

Wait a minute, kid. Have you been using your own evaluation lately?

My grandfather told me to think about it, but I certainly haven't used appraisal recently. I just go around the same place regularly to collect, and I leave the hunting to my grandfather, Cruz-kun, and the squires. Or rather, all I've been doing lately is woodworking.

'I haven't been using...'

"Whether it's a skill or a skill, if you don't use it, you won't grow, so go use your appraisal and find some bargains.

A bargain?

Normally, some merchants have a certificate, and valuable things are not sold cheaply in a store like this, but you have a certificate that even my people can read, perhaps you have something they couldn't see.

Does it make such a difference in appraisals?

It's like a proficiency level. There is a difference between a new adventurer and an old adventurer, even if they have the same swordsmanship skills. This time, the boy was excellent when he was first given a test.

I see. I'll look for a bargain.

Oh, and I won't start looking for anything second-hand. I don't think anyone at this level of the store makes effective weapons of any kind. And be careful that they don't know you're appraising them, okay?

Okay, I'm off. Then I'm off!

And I went on a treasure hunt.
