ch 48 The Girl That Didn’t Have It part 2

◆◆

◆Avangard Kingdom: in front of the castle gate◆

The training on that day had ended, an the day turned to night. after that, in the end Ritta didn't comde back. I want to chase after her but, right night i am being entrusted by a quest i can't just neglect it. Kirkton notice it and said that to me.
Kirkton as a captain and the Kirkton who is not, its as if he was another person.
actually when we were parting Kirkton returned to the mood that i knew.

「I'm really grateful for what you did today, i believe it was a good stimulus to my subordinates. By the i would like to consult you with something. tomorrow afternon i wonder if it would be fine if you would join us to have a training to combat with monsters?」

「to monsters? I'm fine with it, but is it alright...?」

After all been said, I realized that it wasn't something to be said to a kingdom's soldier. but still, Kirkton smiled and ignored it.
since he was like that to Ritta earlier, i thought he would really get mad at me.
it seems that Roel got bored halfway, she was bearing her drowisiness.
letting her get bored, i'm somewhat kinda feel bad for it.

「That's right, if the monsters are the opponents there might be someone who will get injured. Isn't it fine for Roel to tag along and use her recovery magic?」

「fua!」

Roel who was looking towards the night sky, being suddenly mention, she leaked out a weird voice and pointed her face towards us.

「That's a good idea. Can i ask you to come with us?」

「i gratefully accept!!」

and then for some reason Reol was tightly holding her fire rod. It kinda felt like she is going to join a fight, i wonder if its just my imagination?

「Kirkton-san, Ritta is....」

「.....I feel sorry for her but, I should not always spoil her.
If she can't recover from this, then that means this is her stop.」

「does Ritta have no talent as a soldier?」

「I can not say that she has no talent at all. You may not believe it but during the enlistment examination her perfermance was good.
especially during a vitality test it can be compared to a high rank. that slender body of hers should have been through some considerable training.
but if she is fit for being a soldier is another story. she feels down about the situation of her brother but, nevertheless i can not let her get by that excuse.」

I can understand what kirkton is saying and I believe it is correct. But still i can't just somehow forgive how he treated her earlier. If he truly thinks of his subordinates, then he should help her. but if it was me, i wonder what i can do?
saying she should be helped, i can't think of anything.

「well then, it will be early in the morning so i will be waiting for you. after all the reward is pretty much quite an amount! hahahaha!」

saying that Kirkton was waving his hand as he sees us off. I wonder if that guy is living in the castle. since he is still wearing his armor, maybe he has to do something after this.
while walking with Roel, i suddenly remembered something when i was looking at the fire rod she was carrying.

「that's right, if the monsters are the enemy then i have to buy a new sword.」

「won't the sword you have been carrying from the start be fine?」

「that is dangering, since it has an explosion enchantment......in the worst case, it would be very bad if someone gets rolled up in the explosiion.
hmm, i wonder if there is any weapon shop open?」

「The shop oin this city will be open until late at night so don't worry Cythia said.
it should've like she said so, wanna go and see?」

If i remember it right at Kwimill, Kozow's shop would be closed right away at this time. in the pastafter we finished a quest, at night we tried going to his shop but then it was already closed.
i remember Roel cojmplaining "this is why rural shops are-" back then.
it may be a bit late to say, but compared to Kwimwill it is more crowded here. When i first came to that town, i was surprised by the amount of people there but, now its not much of a big deal anymore i think. though thinking about it, i wonder if I have gotten used to the outside world.

◆Avangard Kingdom: weapon shop◆

「looks like its still open. how should i put it, its pretty much very different to Kozow-san's shop....」

peeking inside, there were various kinds of weapons and protectors lined up. the are a lot them even just on the wall. its certainly totally different to kozow-san's shop which is like a narrow indoor storage room.
Kozow-san is a good person so i don't think bad of him at all but still, i can't help but compare it to his.
i thought that i should whatever there is and then go out but, with this i just won't know if its a whatever. and also they're expensive, even the cheapest Falchion, a weapon having its blade curved a bit, is 2200 gold.

「The sword on that wall, its seems to be  40000 gold...i don't really know but what's the difference with that one to the cheap one over their」

「That defender can be subsituted as a shield because of the with of its blade, and most of all, and most of all if you hold it out, it has an enchanted effect of increasing the party's defense」

the one who answered Roel's question was Aude. why is this guy here as if its normal. even though up until now i completely forgot his existence. (9:ouch)

「Yo, you two. long time no see」

「ah, Aude-san! when did you come here to Avangard?」

「just a while ago. well, on the way a group of monkey attacked me and got pecked by birds, it was so troublesome.
though, thanks to my partner i was somehow able to get through em」

i know its not good but, for some reason i just can't seem to like Aude.  he is too over-familiar, and seeing that he is tapping Roel's shoulder just makes me more irritated.

「since its the Rank C me, it was not that hard all. ah! did you hear that? its C rank. haha how troubling」

「So Aude-san became a Rank C」

「It sure was hard. but because i have the talent it was destined to happened. The two of you too, there is no need to be too affected by your rank. the result of each person depends on their effort. just do it at your own pace」

「We are rank B you know」

「yeah yeah, oh that's right. I wonder if there is something good here?」

Aude showed off his money to us and bought a spear in good mood then went out.
what in the world is with that guy. I don't have time to deal with him, I came here to buy my own sword.

「hmmm, I wonder which is good....」

pointing each on of them with my finger, i noticed unusual presences. and then once again there was a crowd on our surrounding.
it seems they are even observing what i'm going to chose, really what a stubborn stares.

「so its the kid who won the Tougi Taikai.....i think the weapon she will choose will also be top grade」

「If its me i would probably choose that defender. with that strenght of hers, she wouldn't be satisfied with a half-assed weapon」

i was just about to take out a sword that i don't even know what its name is at the unsold products corner. Do i really have to buy that defender? I pretty much used all of the money on hand and also it won't even reach hald of the price of it. i wonder what this desteble feeling.

「Ryua-chan don't mind them, so how about this?」

What Roel pointed at was not at the unsold products corner but a bit above the place where the falchion was. its a bit big but, the price is reasonable, so let's go with this.

「a b-bastard sword?!」

「no, its an indication that this shop doesn't have an appropriate weapon for her. so its just a defender, it has no merit to pay for」

ignoring the noisy gallery i bought the Bastard Sword. compared to the mithril sword the blade is more extensive, it kinda feels powerful. this might be similar to the sword that Seigel lent me that time. after we left the shop, i once again make sure of tested the sword.

「hey, look at that. She is swinging the big sword with just one hand....」

「that sure has an outrageous strenght.....i wonder how hight her Lv is?」

Peeking from the entrance of the shop, the gallery was still noisy. Let's quickly go back to the inn. i wonder what's the menu for today, i hope there aren't any strange bitter vegetables. if there is something like that then i'll have Roel eat it.

「those people are still look at us.......
hey, Ryua-chan. You said it earlier but what is an enchanted effect?」

「inside the weapon there is something that attacks along the weapon and furthermore there is an effect following it.
though i don't really know how it became like. that person said it 」

yes, that person. there is also the abdnormal status but, this also was taught by that person. that day, it was the swordsman who saved me. other than that he also taught me a lot of things. thinking about it the me who doesn't know anything goes to the outside world, it was thanks to that person that i have enough knowledge.
i know it won't come true but, once again i'd like to meet with that person again. when we meet i'll say my thanks and once again talk about various things.

「i-i wonder what happeing there?」

On the street way there was 2 adventurer like people fighting. something like this also happenined before, even though this rarely happens at Kwimill, absent-mindedly look at them, suddenly someone entered between both of them. that one strand of hair(ahoge?) from the hair, looking from behind i'm sure that's Ritta.

「put those weapon down right now!」

「Shut the hell up! That bastard stole the weapon that i was aiming for! 」

「Did you even reserve it? wasn't it first come first serve 」

「Both of you are guilty! Please, put down weapons!」

I don't who the one who is excessively angry but, i know the other one. i think it was Griiman who was at the final match of the preliminary round. that extravagant equipment even stands out in the night. more importantly, Ritta who i thought was gone, i wonder what she is doing again. Even though just recently, she tried to stop it and then failed. If i don't stop her again she might really get injured this time, is what i thought butm Ritta is a soldier of the castle. I'm not Kirkton but, if she can't handle this much then she is not suited to be a soldier. maybe i should just be a demon at heart right now. but still, if I can't watch anymore i'll immediately help her, okay let's go with this.
but if i remember it correctly, Griiman should be an A rank Adventurer. If he got serious not just Ritta but even the other person will be in danger.

「weren't you hesitating to buy it or not? A Poor plebian who is hesitating at that price should just obediently buy even just an Iron sword.」

「you bastard, i know about it you know. If I'm not mistaken you're the guy who lost on the preliminary round of the Tougi Taikai to a kid.
you even had your armor had a hole on it and also you got blown away that it was so funny, hihihi!」

「what the hell did you just say....? if i just had a better equipment such thing won't happen again. don't ever open that mouth again.」

Finally Griiman drew out his sword. It was a different weapon when he fought against me, there was a gem-like stone embed on the edge of the sowrd, it was a rapier. Is he also going to boast about that too?

「this sword is what you call Sunshine Sword. it has an enchanted effect of adding an light attribute when attack it with.
And also it islight and everyone can handle it, so even a supporting job like healers demands it.
well, I knew about that so i monopolized it! how is it? Is it too dazzling to the poor plebian like you? nn?
after all just a 15 thousand gold is trivial to me. Even if you spent your whole life you won't get it with you income」

"15 thousand!"　both me and Roel shouted at the same time. And because of that the two of them noticed us but, Riita interrupted with a warning that they faced towards her.

「That's enough!」

「Get out of the way! i can't take it anymore!」

Riita who was warning them was thrust away, then finally the guy violently pointed his sword to Griiman.

「Making a Fool out of the me, The Hell bear killer Darz! I'll beat the hell out of ya!」

「killing a hell bear? ah i see, anyone can kill a bear cub」

as i thought riita can't do it, giving up on ritta when i was about to stop them, Ritta grasped the hands of both of them. "oh?" the two raised their voice and in a momennt, a scream resounded on the street.

「ooooooooooow! L-let goooo!」

「if you have reflected then i will let go」

「it's gonna break, pleas staaahp!」

Their weapons fell from their hands. and yet Riita is still not loosening her strength. For Ritta to have that kind of strenght, maybe what Kirkton said was true. even though they are bad they are soldiers,  saying that may get them angry at me but i unintentionally got a better opinion of them.  but still, She should really let go of them right now.

「Ritta, i think it would already be fine to let go of the-」

「eh, Ryua-san?」

Ritta brightened up when she saw us, and at the same time she release the two. And then Grimman saw me, he had face like he was holding something back and he let out a hysteric voice.

「y-you are-! damn it, that armor was expensive you know!! Pay me back!!」

「Ritta, that was amazing. just as i thought you are training habitually right」

「Don't fucking ignore me, DAMN IT!」

She is smiling that it seems she is in a good mood. I can't think of her as the one in the morning. I wonder if something good happened to her.

「I'm sorry for showing an unsightly sight of me. Also to Captain Kirkton, i also have to apologize to him. I,,,even since that happened i have been thinking.
If i always stay down nothing will begin. If I run away from that i am disqualified as this Country's soldier.....」

Ritta scratched her head and embarrassingly smiled. I'm glad, I was thinking over what happened after that but it looks like she is fine.

「and so Ryua-san, please coach me well tomorrow!」

Is she that energetic, she sprinted towards the dark night. I wonder if her house is somewhere around here? she said the she will apologize but, i wonder if that scary kirkton will forgive it, i'm only a little worried about that.
looking at her appearance, i suddenly noticed it.

「it sure is reasuring that Ritta-chan is fine」

「I wonder if Ritta bought a new spear?」

「a new spear? why?」

「because she is carrying a different spear before. So there was that pitch black spear.」

「I wasn't able to notice, its surprising that Ryua-chan looks at those things」

「what's wrong with that」

Roel giggles as she smiled. Roel was kinda annoying so i grabbed her cheeks.

「wuhat are yu dyuing!?」

「i was kinda annoyed」

「oi, Ryua was it. I haven't forgetten the resentment about the armor ok」

Grimman put a hand on my shoulder. it was annoying so i shook it off, though more than i expected it did more damagae than i thought.

「oooooooooow! this time it really brokeeeeeeee! damn that strenght!!!!!」

「......somehow it kinda became stupid. let's go home」

Darz was shocked seeing Griiman unnaturally rolling over. from that start i wasn't even talking to Griiman so, roel and I walked towards the inn. there were still shouts behind us but, sooner or later he will probably get embarrased and stop.
after all we are already out of the croud.
so that we won't see that embarrasing figure we didn't look back,  and faced towards the inn to heal the fatigue of the day.
