Bear-san, Gives Fina’s Present, Royal Capital Edition Part 2
Thanks?
When I tilted my head to the side, Uragan stretched out his thick arm and showed it to me.
Uragan’s arm has something like a black gauntlet attached to it.
“It’s my armor, made from that Scorpion.” (Uragan)
“And that chest plate too?” (Yuna)
The armor on his chest was also black.
“Yeah, it’s light and easy to move around in. And it’s sturdy. Recently, I was attacked by a tiger wolf on my arm, but this armor saved my life.” (Uragan)
He laughingly said while rubbing his gauntlet.
No, it’s dangerous… That is what I would want to say, but I can’t speak for others because I remember attacking the Black Tiger.
“That’s good to hear.” (Yuna)
If the armor had been poorly crafted, the attack could have rendered his arm useless. Well, I don’t think even iron could be chewed up easily. If he’s benefiting from the added lightness, then it was worth giving the scorpion carcass to him way back then.
Materials are only meaningful when they are used. It doesn’t make sense to store it away like a certain someone.
……Now, I have to figure out how to use the materials in the bear box.
……Though it seems that there’s no choice but to sell them.
“Everyone was thankful for this armor. It’s easier to accept high-ranking quests. Soon we’ll be rank C.” (Uragan)
Uragan said happily.
There is nothing wrong with equipping yourself with good-quality armor and rising in rank. Wearing such high-spec armor would typically be a big deal for a lot of adventurers.
That’s what I gave away, after all the trouble of getting it.
Some are are lucky, and there are others unlucky in life. Luck is not equal to everyone. If it were, then everyone would win the lottery and everyone would be rich. But that would never happen. More often than not, more people often miss out. Above all, everyone’s life is unequal from birth.
I believe luck is also a force of nature.
If Uragan had a luck parameter, it might be a high number.
But it must be accompanied by action.
It was only because Uragan had accepted the request at that time that he could meet me and receive the materials. He would not have met me if he had not accepted the request. If that had happened, I would not have been able to give him the materials of the Big Scorpion.
The same can be said with the lottery. You won’t win if you don’t buy the tickets.
“Well, good luck then. We’ll be going now.” (Yuna)
“Oh, I’m sorry for stopping you. Let me know if you need any help next time.” (Uragan)
“I’ll be counting on you then.” (Yuna)
I don’t have anything to ask for right now, but there might be something in the future. So I’ll graciously accept Uragan’s generosity.
We parted ways with Uragan, and I took Fina and Shuri outside the Adventurers’ Guild.
“He had a scary face, but he was a kind man.” (Fina)
“Yeah, his face was scary.” (Shuri)
And that’s why Shuri was unusually quiet.
Well, he has a stern face, but his personality isn’t bad.
More decent than a certain goblin-faced adventurer in Crimonia.
It seems he kept his promise and didn’t even talk about the giant Scorpion. I think Sanya-san would have kicked up a fuss about it if he did. Or maybe she forgot because she was able to meet Ruimin and Mumroot-san, but that shouldn’t be the case.
“Where shall we go then? Is there a place you want to go?” (Yuna)
“I want to see Shia-neechan! Also, I want to go to the castle! I want to go to that high place.” (Shuri)
I asked Fina, but Shuri raised her hand and answered instead.
Although we can meet Shia, the castle isn’t an easy place to enter. No, we can, but as expected, I think it’s impossible to go to the top of the castle.
“I think Shia is at school, so we can meet her later. And we may have to put going to the castle on hold, I guess? Where do you want to go, Fina?” (Yuna)
“I want to buy souvenirs for Mom and Dad.” (Fina)
Indeed, it might be a good idea to buy souvenirs in the royal capital. Aside from Tirumina-san, I can’t tell Genz-san that I have been to the Elven village, Dezerto, and the Land of Harmony. But the royal capital is within the range of my activities.
If he asks where we went, we can answer that we went to the capital and then gave the souvenirs.
Thinking that far, as expected of Fina.
“Then let’s go see Shia while we do some random shopping.” (Yuna)
We decided to walk around until Shia came back from school.
As usual, my outfit attracted stares, but I ignored them as long as no one attacked us. I am used to people pointing fingers at me.
However, I kinda feel sorry for Fina and Shuri, who’re with me.
“Sorry.” (Yuna)
