Fake 87: Equipment Purchase

“These three types cost 500,000 yen, 950,000 yen, and 1,390,000 yen, respectively. The pricier ones have better defensive abilities. Although there are more advanced ones with better performance, the basic ones are around this level.”

Even basic ones cost this much? Sure enough, inner armor is expensive. Of course, I know the price of the cheapest one since I’ve seen it once last time. There are two more with higher prices than that, but I can’t possibly afford the one that costs 1,390,000 yen.

“What is the difference between 500,000 yen one and 950,000 yen one?”

“They are both made from the same raw materials. However, the amount and thickness of materials used are 2.5 times greater for the more expensive one, so there is a significant gap between their defensive abilities.”

“So, that is the case.”

“Survivors are, after all, always in contact with danger, so it is essential to prepare a flawless set-up. Above all else, your defense is the most important. If you are having trouble deciding what to choose, I definitely recommend the 950,000 yen inner armor.”

“Is that so?”

“Clerk-san, please let us discuss a little. Rin-kun, can I have a minute?”

Aoi pulled my hand and temporarily left that place.

“What’s the matter?”

“Rin-kun, this is your first time buying inner armor, right? If that’s the case, wouldn’t it be fine to start with the cheaper one? Considering that Rin-kun is also wearing a protector, even if you just add the 500,000 yen inner armor, I believe you will be able to prevent most fatal injuries. Rather than forcing yourself to buy expensive things, it is better to think about total balance.”

“You’re right. It is just as Aoi said. There is no point in forcing that. I got a little impatient and almost bought it. Thank you.”

“No, I was just being nosy.”

It wasn’t that I could not afford 950,000 yen inner armor. But it was clearly over-budget compared to 500,000 yen armor, which I came to buy originally.
I might have been unable to make a proper judgment due to my impatience. Aoi’s advice was really helpful.

“Excuse me, I am going to buy this 500,000 yen inner armor after all. Also, can I see some weapons?”

“Of course, it is okay. What kind of weapons would you like to see?”

“Currently, I am using survival knives, but I am not confident in close combat. So, is there anything that can cover me in that aspect?”

“Please wait for a moment.”

The clerk brought me some stuff that looked like weapons from the back of the shop again.
This time as well, there were three types in total.

“First of all, considering that you want to avoid close combat, I recommend this.”

“Is it a crossbow?”

“Yes, since this is made to be small and compact, it is easy to handle, and its power is also something you can look forward to. If it is a low-rank monster, this alone is enough to defeat it. As for the price, it is 120,000 yen.”

It is certainly much smaller than a crossbow in my imagination. Moreover, when I heard its price was 120,000 yen, it felt quite cheap compared to inner armor.
If I think of it as a skill, I suppose its usage would be somewhat similar to that of [Ice Javelin]. If that’s the case, it seems like it will be really effective even on the imps that have the Skill Resist ability.
