The Spearmaster and the Black Cat Chapter 62

SPEAR MASTER AND THE BLACK CAT CHAPTER62

Sixty-Second Episode~ Happy Purchase, Happy Shopping.

In the alley full of restaurants there should be a good place to eat.

Rollo, lets go find some good food.

Nn.

Rollo only replies with a purr.

However, she quickly takes up her spot on my shoulder.

Rollo and I leave the inn behind.

I walk down the street with the bar Cherry works in.

There seem to be a lot of stores which close at noon.

Lunch time should be good for profits

Ma, thinking with a Japanese mindset is probably inappropriate.

The gambling district appears I dont go there.

Should I walk to the market?

Despite the time, various things are being sold there.

As I wander down the street and through the shops, I manage to find somewhere to eat.

Its a simple street stall consisting of a curtain stretched over a thin wooden frame.

A flat curtain covers the top in place of a roof.

As a substitute for a menu, there is a black board. On the blackboard is written only food served in a pot.

I walk over.

My tasty food research committee is confident that this is a well-known hidden-shop.

Customers, merchants, and adventurers are sitting on stools, steam rises from an iron pot placed on a small table, the hot juices from the iron pot is soaked into the vegetables in wooden bowls, the vegetables heaped in the bowls are being eaten with great gusto.

It looks yummy

Gulping down a mouthful of saliva, I sit on one of the stools and order food.

The dish is the same as what the other customers are eating.

A brown liquid simmers in the iron pan, and there is a small wooden bowl.

Various vegetables are served in the hot pot.

The steam floats up, stimulating my appetite.

The onion-type juice is a reddish-yellow.

Or, is there a pork or poultry bullion?

Vegetables like paprika and white leaves are piled up.

Theres also a blue lettuce-like vegetable. A slim root like burdock.

Ah, its too tempting.

Immediately, I distribute the vegetables and soup in the wooden bowl.

Chop sticks would make this easier, but there are only two wooden spoons.

I should make my own at some point

Starting with the soup, I bring the bowl to my lips and drink the brown vegetable broth.

Ah, its hot. However, its yummy. The taste of Chinese cabbage spreads over my tongue.

The eat the vegetables with the soup. These vegetables are crisp and easy to chew.

Then, does the soup taste like meat? When I think so, I see there is a large bone at the bottom of the pot, buried under the vegetables.

I see. So thats why the broth tastes this way.

I bite into the meat steeped in the juices.

The meat is so tender that it practically melts in my mouth. Oh, wow, this meat is fantastic.

The texture of the meat is like chicken, similar to a chicken wing, is this the aged magic beast or the sauce?

Well, its fine either way. Its tasty and cheap.

Fuhahaha, my delicious food committee hit the jackpot.

This shop was a good find.

I also give some to Rollo.

Theres no more of the wing meat

I devour it.

On this occasion. I order multiple dishes.

The waitress is shocked, but the silverware for the food is thrown in as a bonus, she smiles and delivers the dishes.

The iron pans carried out disappear one after another, the sales clerk looks at me with strange eyes

However, I continue storing my food in the item box without letting it bother me.

I finish my business and leave the shop.

Passing through the market, I head to Zaga and Bons.

The Dwarf shop is around the corner.

When I turn the corner, I see Bonn.

His kappa hair is swaying as he runs.

I shouldnt have been seen yet, but hes already noticed Rollo and me.

Smiling, Bonn energetically shouts the usual phrase.

Enchant, Enchant, Enchant!

Nya, nya, nya.

This is what happens every time.

Rollo and Bonn begin their strange conversation.

It has the atmosphere of a fairy tale.

Is Bonn actually communicating with Rollo

Someone, interpret it!

Shouting that in my heart, I greet him.

Bonn, long time no see. Im going to go talk with Zaga.

Enchannto!

Bonn replies with a thumbs up.

Umu. Hes brimming with energy.

While Rollo and Bonn banter back and forth, I turn the corner and walk to the shop.

When I am about the enter the shop, Zaga appears.

Zaga is wearing a wife-beater, making his beard and chest hair stand out.

Oh, Shuya. Here to look at armor?

Yeah. The spear Ive been using broke. Also, Im sorrythe armor you put so much work into, it kinda, I can wear it, but its all ruined so, would you make something using materials from the Evil Dragon King?

When I say Evil Dragon King, Zaga is shocked.

-Buha The Evil Dragon King? That means Shuya, I heard that aside from the commander of the griffon corps who killed the dragon king, there were a few adventurers?

Thats right. I also received this ring.

Saying so, I show him the ring the Marquess gave me.

Oooooooh, the purple scale, this indeed came from the stomach of a dragon. Its not much, but it can work as a magic defense. *Gulp* Its beautifully carved, the craftsmanship is astonishing. The inside also has the Marquess familys crest, and Dragon Killer carved on it. Its elegant. It may not have much affected as a magic item, but it was still made by a magic Goldsmith with exceptional talent. You should treasure it. Take it back.

Zaga has become unusually excited.

His eyes have an unusual excitement, his desire for the ring is visible.

However, there were words carved on the inside?

Understood. Ill treasure it. Ill wear it.

Zaga smiles and crosses his arms.

-Well then, the materials of the Evil Dragon King is worthy of a master blacksmith, will you allow us to play with it?

Ah, thats what I want.

Hearing my words, Zagas tough guy appears collapses, and he nods several times.

He strokes his beard several times, then starts to talk.

Is that so. Shuya, thank you. -Bon, was he lucky? A dragon. Moreover, an ancient dragon.

Enchant!

Bon, your skill is going to be necessary. Lets do our best.

Enchant!

Zaga and Bonn seem excited, holding each others hands and shaking them up and down.

Then, where are the materials?

Ah, theyre cumbersome and big, so Ill take them out now. Open.

In the area in front of Zaga and Bonns store- I activate the item box.

Then, with a thump, I take out the Burdocks head.

Enchaaantoo!

Nuo, Oooh this is the Evil Dragon King? Amazing. What beautiful purple scales. These are definitely the scales of an ancient dragon. Its fangs are spectacular. However, if its compared to this. That crimson horn and the blue dragon eyes are truly unique. Also, connected to the brain stemshouldnt there be a huge magic stone?

His eyes, brain? The dragon magic stone?

N? I didnt think of that

Let alone a magic stone, its value will be beyond a magic gem, it will be incredible.

Judging by this reaction, it must be incredibly valuable.

-At the back.

The eyes alone are worth fifty pieces of white gold coin. The whiskers are twice that, however, it really is the dragon magic stone in its headthe value is enough to make the War God Vaisu and Totogudius, King of the Tenth Layer of Hell get along.

Nii-san is right. The head of the ancient dragon exists.

Speaking is a lecturing tone with the voice of a child, the twins of the S ranked clan Ice Mausoleum of Blue Waters.

Enchant?

Bon, get behind me, Shuya, are these acquaintances?

Cautious of the two who suddenly appeared, Zaga holds his hammer in both hands to protect Bonn.

Nevertheless, why didnt I feel a magic essence until the voice sounded?

After hiding their form, their magic essence disappeared too?

Acquaintance? I only know them. So, you followed me while hiding yourselves?

Nyan.

Rollo calls out in greeting.

And, she doesnt get down from my shoulder.

She stares at the twins calmly.

Thats right. The black cat amazing, and cute.

Yeah. Its as you said.

The voices of the twins are different.

They sound cold

Such a thing is irrelevant. Having gone so far, what do you want from me?

I say wearily.

The dragons eyes, we want them.

Yeah.

What?

I push storage and immediately store the Evil Dragon Kings head away.

Ah, its gone.

It really is an item box.

They say carelessly. I become even more cautious.

You intend to take the dragons head?

Hearing me, the twins exchange a look and burst into laughter.

No, its different.

We want to talk to you about buying the blue eyes of the ancient dragon.

OhI over reacted.

Really, these blue eyed kids are strange.

Say that first. Otherwise, there will be a weird tension.

Sorry.

This time they act like children and lower their heads

I saw them during the dinner, the emblem of their white heads their wriggling blood vessels stand out, it even continue on the back of their neck.

It is something like a blood limit? It might be a curse.

I dont mention the strange marks, I do ask about their eyes.

So you want the eyes?

Hai.

Thats right. The eyes should be small when taken out. One is enough. We can pay fifty white gold coins.

That is small?

Nn~, I dont understand the market price. What kind of effect do the eyes have?

I know. The price the twins gave you is good, the price is between forty-five and fifty-five white gold coins. Blue eyes of an ancient dragon are the most valuable, they have an effect on both water and ice type. Moreover, since they contain the magic of the water system, if a little mana is poured in, it can produce a strong water attribute magic. The eyes are a unique magic jewel.

Zaga explains.

Thats right. I can pay this.

Yeah. The price is right.

Hou, even S rank will pay according to the market price.

Maybe I should sell one.

Understood. Ill sell one.

Yay, really?

Yeah.

Nii-san, thank goodness.

Inah, take out the money.

One of the twin says, and a chest with a white pattern is removed and opened.

Then, a jingle of white coins.

O~i, dont throw your money around so carelessly.

There is also a white gold coin one size larger than the others.

Also, a long sword with a chipped blade and a magic jewel, Ive seen it somewhere beforeThe mysterious human face pot.

The last one was seen.

Is the small bag an item pouch?

Twins, wait a minute. Put your money and things away Zaga, how long will it take to remove the eyeball from the head?

Nn~, one eye should take about ten minutes?

Thats fast.

I, I see. Thats quick, understood. Then, I apologize, but could you remove one of the eyes?

Ah, its not a problem. Good. Well then, come inside the shop, there is a workshop.

Understood. Is it okay for the twins to come?

One nods and begins talking.

My name is Allen, Ina is my younger sister. We arent twins.

I got it. Im Shuya, Shuya Kagari. Call me Shuya. The black cat is called Rollodinu. Then, Inah, Allen, lets carry out the deal in Zagas shop.

Okay. Ill be in your care, Shuya.

Its fine. Shuya, thank you.

Enchant!

Bonn finally calls out.

Stretching out a hand, he gives a thumbs up.

Thumbs up.

No one reacts.

No, Rollo punches the air with her paw.

Because she reacted cutely, I slipped a little.

Like that, I am lead through the shop to the warehouse like a workshop.

Shuya, take it out here.

Got it, such a big space should be enough.

Got it, open.

The ancient dragon head appears quickly.

Yosh, Ill get started. You guys, its going to be bright, so be careful. Bon, use light enchant.

Enchant!

When Zaga tells Bonn, he puts on sunglasses to protect his eyes. He puts on special leather gloves that emit bright white light.

Magic glasses as well as leather gloves.

Then, a chisel that shines like gold is removed from his waist and handed to Bonn.

Bonn calls out Enchant repeatedly.

A dense aura of mana floats around his body, and an ecstatic expression is on his face, white light comes from both his eyes.

A floating crest appears, then the crest floats to the back of his arms.

Bonn laughs and approaches Zaga. The tools in Zagas hands are both releasing mana.

Releasing mana- Zagas tools blaze brighter.

Amazing, an enormous amount of mana is overflowing from Bonn.

So much that I can feel its weight.

As expected of Bonn.

The twins are also surprised, their eyes widen and mouths drop open, staring openly.

Zaga, using the shining chisel, dig out the area around the eye.

The mana released while working is strange.

After around ten minutes, it seems like the mana permeating the chisel is dissolving the area around the blue eye, Zaga works carefully under the dazzling light.

Zaga removes the blue eye.

The eye sends out a blue light.

The removed eye becomes small.

Really small. It surprised me.

The white of the eye is gone, only the colored part is there, and it fits in the palm of my hand.

Then, Inah smiles and approaches with an item pouch.

Heres your money.

Alright, Ill count it.

There are fifty-five gold coins.

I put them in the item box.

The transaction complete, you can have the blue dragon eye.

Yay, Inah!

Hai, Nii-san.

When the twins have the blue eye in their hands, their faces light up with smiles.

Good. However, during the Evil Dragon King subjugation, Inah and Allen released such a powerful ice magic, is the dragon eye really necessary?

Yes. You cant be satisfied with that. Our attribute is water. We want the full water system. This eye of an ancient dragon, with its magic reinforcement, you can defeat the ten wicked images.

Thats right. The eyes of this old dragon, with their effect, a strong magic can be released from the eyes without an aria. A powerful magic beyond magic jewels can be released.

The twins smile as they answer.

Are the Ten Wicked Images the thing I have?

Ma, there is probably a reason to fight these guys.

I see

Such a thing, attribute, Im water attribute too.

That means by using the blue eye, I can release water magic?

Gufufu, Ill keep the second one for myself.

N? Shuya, what is it?

N, nothing. I had a pleasant thoughtZaga, can I order a weapon and armor made from this material?

Ah, of course. Its possible.

Then, the twins talked.

Shuya, our business is finished here. May we meet in the future.

Bye bye-

A magic formation appears under the twins and expands.

The magic formation moves and their forms become thin, gradually disappearing.

Uhyo.

Nya.

Surprising. Rollo jumps at the after image.

-Rollo lands on the ground. She sniffs around the area for any strange smells. I look toward the doorway.

The smell still seems to be here.

An invisibility spell. They appear to be high leveled magicians.

Invisibility?

At any rate, S rank adventurers. The name of their clan is Ice Mausoleum of Blue Waters. Are those children some kind of grave keepers?

Hou, they really are highly ranked. Ive heard that name somewhere.

Zaga thinks for a moment and strokes his beard.

However, this is my first time seeing that magic. Being able to disappear like that

It is an excellent magician who can use that. Apart from that, who kind of weapon and armor do you want?

I wonder if its possible.

However, the optical camouflage was deep blue.

It looks kind of futuristic, it reminds me of Ghost in The Shell.

Also, The Invisible Man. Im getting ero ideas.

Oi, did you hear me?

Zaga stares at me.

Aah, sorry. For the spear, it would be ideal if it was the same weight as black tanza spear I usually use. As for the armor, I would like it to be mobile like last time as well. Theres a helmet too. The wrist of my left-hand needs to be open still, there should be a hole there. If you feel like it, a pair gauntlets toothen, since theres no helmet I would like a hooded jacket, knives, and a belt to put them in.

I show Zaga my left wrist, and gesture with my hands.

Understood. The spear first. Although you said spear, there are various options this time around. If I use that whole crimson horn, using the bones of the ancient dragon I can make an incredibly strong shaft.

Hee

Zaga continues to explain excitedly.

Working the magic stone will be difficult, if I think of a halberd, using the crimson horn should work. The crimson horn is hard but also has a strange softness. It is also incredibly sharp and possesses the fire attribute. It should make a matchless halberd. I can use the back end of the dragon magic stone to make it a cane. This is the hardest part. Its able to transmit magic really well still. By the way, how is the power of the blue eye?

A considerable weapon seems to be completed.

So a spear cane. Good, the form is ideal. However, is the dragon magic stone harder than common metal?

Umu. It is normally very hard to shape. Its hardness is superior to chitajarmid ore, famous for its hardness.

It seems like tungsten or titanium?

Then, it will take some time.

Isnt that normal? However, isnt this head fantastic material?

Zaga responds with a laugh.

Ah, thats right.

Then its fine. Its teeth are usable too, and the scales can be removed. And wont Bonn be helping? It will be done remarkably quick. Its use is luxurious, but does it really matter?

Enchant.

Bonn smiles confidently.

I respond with a strange smile too.

With a smile, I begin to talk while nodding.

Zaga and Bonn are the best, so its good.

Zagas shoulders shake a little.

Tears collect in Bonns eyes.

N?

Dont you understand this is such a wonderful thing! It is the simple happiness of a craftsman Yosh, wait a moment.

Zaga collects spear weapons and brings them to me.

Halberd, Lance, Pike, Trident, Long Stake, Sickle, he continues bringing out common long spears and a variety of spear weapons.

Choose from these which length and weight are sufficient. Ill use it as a reference.

Zaga is pushing me to choose one, full of excitement.

Alright.

I choose properly, swinging them around.

All of the spears feel too light.

After all, the black tanza spear was heavy.

The one with the best balance is the ax spear.

The halberd shines with a silver color.

The speak head has an ax attached, and there is a butt attached to the end.

The weight of this almost exactly right.

Hou, the halberd made of jellium. It looks like silver, but thats wrong. This is called silver crystal steel. It is often mistaken for silver magic steel. Its famous for being produced in large quantities from the jellium monster.

Silver Crystal Steel?

It seems to be different from common silver.

Ma, silver would be too soft.

Theres such a monster.

That right. So would you like the new weapon to have a spear tip and ax blade?

The joy of a new weapon

Yeah. That will work.

Zaga scratches on parchment with a pen.

Taking down notes.

He has already entered craftsman mode.

Hes become sharp eyed, the hard expression on his face makes him look cool.

His thick dwarf eye brows are scrunched up.

Then, a full set of armor, itll use plenty of bone and scales from the ancient dragon. Including Bonns enchantments, it should be finished quickly. The mantle, I may be able to acquire a special coating from an acquaintance if I sell the scale.

Enchant.

Leave it to Bonn. He jumps with his short legs as if to say that.

As if he heard music with a good beat, he begins dancing on the spot stretching both his hands out.

Rollo seems unable to resist the strange rhythm and jumps off my shoulder, moving the Bonns feet.

Jumping and dancing together.

They create a strange view

Encha, Enchant Haha, Enchant

He seems to be saying.

Ill leave Bonn and Rollo alone.

The armor and overcoat will be great.

Without minding the dancing, I think about the armor and accidentally speak frankly.

No, its not. A magic tailor can use dragon whiskers to create the highest quality clothing, incredible clothes can be madebut I make awful clothing. So I have to sell the scales and buy the material for the mantle.

Zaga apologizes. Its a matter of his pride as a craftsman.

Its enough for me to follow up.

I see I entrust Zagas judgment as a craftsman and merchant when it comes to producing materials and buying and selling.

I speak carefully, communicating my trust in him.

Zagas eyes widen, and his expression softens somewhat.

Ouyo. Trusting. Really, quaking at my age

Then, he ultimately enters work mode.

The fangs can be processed into the halberd blade, no, the crimson horn can be usedafter all, what matters is the strength

Zaga draws a picture while muttering.

He works fast

How long will it take?

Around ten days.

Oh.

Understood. Ah, until then will you lend me this halberd?

Returning to my regular manner, I point at the halberd.

Ah, take it.

Then, what will the price of the new armor and weapons be?

One large gold coin Id like to say, if the material sells, I will make a lot of money. So, I dont need to price it now. Besides, the weapon, the armor made from the scales, a lot will be left over. I will sell a little so that should cover the cost?

A lot of money. I cant completely imagine it.

Understood. It d be nice if you didnt sell the blue eye. Anything else is fine.

Hahahaha, what are you talking about? I dont mind. All business, Happy Buying, Happy Selling.’

Enchant!

Zagas generous behavior, he says a moto I dont understand.

Bonn also goes next to Zaga and begins preparations. He cries out in a happy voice.

Hm, Ill leave them to it.

Us,

Rollo, lets go back.

Nn, Nyao.

Rollo purrs.

She seems disappointed about leaving.

With such a Rollo, I leave Zaga and Bonns shop.

As I walk, I look at the condition of the silver halberd I borrowed.

The sharpness of the tipit looks really good.

-I wave the halberd around, slashing down.

Now then, what to do next?

Should I go to Holkerbam with the withered great tree that the Marquess subordinate mentioned?

There, I might find a clue about Genjus Sake Ball of Light for Rollo.

However, before I go, I need to wait for the items I ordered to be finished.

Ten days until the gear is finished.

What to do.

Should I explore the gates again?

Id like to be the same adventurer class as Shisho, should I accept a request to raise my rank?
