Fake 88: Gratitude

“And, this is a reinforced ceramic sword. It is light but pretty strong; moreover, its length is twice as long as a survival knife. So, I believe using it will be quite advantageous in close combat. Its price is 85,000 yen. Since it is specially made for survivors, it is more expensive than a knife. What do you think?”

“Can I try holding it for a moment?”

“Yes, it is no problem.”

I held the reinforced ceramic sword with my hand and looked at it. It was clearly longer than a survival knife, and its size likely fell into the so-called short sword category.
Compared to knives that could only be used at extremely close range, it gave you the impression that you could slash from a certain distance with it.
Although its weight was quite heavier than a knife, it was still within the acceptable range.

“Lastly, this here is a stun baton. It is mainly used to immobilize the enemy rather than defeat it. But, even if you just lightly touch your opponent with it, a current of 200,000 volts will shock your opponent with a flip of the switch here. Since the materials used to make it are also reinforced, you can also do some damage by directly striking with it. Its price is 60,000 yen and is the cheapest among the three.”

When I tried holding the third weapon, it was considerably lighter than the earlier sword. As its length was only slightly shorter than the sword, I suppose I could fight while keeping a certain distance using it.
All three have different uses and purposes, but I feel that all of them are more suited for combat than the survival knives I am currently using.

“Then, I will take the 500,000 yen inner armor from earlier and these three.”

“Rin-kun!? Are you going to buy them all?”

“Yes, I feel that all of them are necessary.”

“But, wouldn’t it be impossible to master all of them……”

“It is okay. I’ve thought about it carefully.”

“In that case, I think it is better to buy holders for these three too. Since you’ve purchased three weapons, they will only cost you an additional 25,000 yen as a service. How does that sound?”

“Then, I will take those as well.”

Having decided to buy a total of four pieces of equipment and weapon holders, I settled the payment at the cash register.

“Then, it will be 790,000 yen in total.”

“Thank you, here is the money.”

790,000 yen……
Of course, this broke my previous highest purchase record by a large margin. But, since I’d earned a lot of money during the New Year’s holidays, I thought of it as an investment in myself and finished the payment.

“Aoi, it was a great help that you tagged along with me to buy equipment today. Thank you. And this is for you, Aoi.”

Having said that, I handed over the stun baton I just bought to Aoi.

“Eh? For me?”

“I told you before that you should have a melee weapon, right? Although I gave you a knife at that time, I think that’s too difficult for a girl to handle. But with this, you will have a longer reach and still won’t have a problem with its weight.”

“………… Thank you very much. I will use it carefully.”

Aoi thanked me while gazing at me intently, but I was embarrassed when she thanked me so earnestly.
In the first place, my debt to Aoi couldn’t be repaid with a weapon like this.
If this one weapon could reduce the risk Aoi would have to face even a little, it would be a cheap price to pay.
Since I prepared this much equipment for myself, I will have to do my best not to lose out to the equipment and so I can do more activities as an E-ranker.
