Chapter 264: Happy Shopping (2)

After purchasing a few magic stones, Tauro went downstairs, being seen off by the store clerks, who were all looking very pleased with his purchases.

The second floor is a section where weapons are sold.

I have no intention of buying one, but I want to compare it with the one I had made and use it for future reference.

The weapons section is also a store of the dragon people, with many high quality items, and some with attributes added.

There were some weapons with shapes that I didn’t quite understand, but I guess they put them there because there was a demand for them.

Tauro was attracted to a variety of products, but there seemed to be nothing in particular that looked good for the knives he was considering replacing this time.

“…should I find another store? …Now all that’s left is armor.”

After looking around the weapons section, Tauro went down to the first floor.

The dragon’s breath armory sells a large selection of armor and clothing.

There are many housewives looking for clothes, and the clothing section is crowded with people.

The armor ranges from heavy armor to light leather armor for children.

Although Tauro has grown a little since he turned 13 and has grown taller, he still has the body of a child.

He is just about the same height as Aeris, so perhaps they are about the same size.

While I was thinking about this, I saw clothes that a healer or a wizard would wear.

“Ah, it’s a size that Aeris can wear.”

Tauro picked it up, thinking that Aerith would be able to wear it.

The price tag showed that it was a very expensive item.

The design is based on a loose-fitting white fabric with purple and blue one-pointed designs, similar to the clothes Aeris wears.

It’s designed so that processed magic stones can be attached to the area around the chest, and depending on the type of processed magic stone, it seems to have a conferring effect.

The design was a little different from what Tauro had in mind, so he decided to buy it, saying,  “This looks like it will take shape with just a little tweaking.”

In the end, Tauro left the “Dragon’s Breath Armor Shop” without buying anything for himself.

He then headed next to the “Dragon Knight Armor Shop,” which mainly deals in one-of-a-kind items.

“Welcome!”

The “Dragon Knight Armor Shop,” located a few doors down from the “Dragon’s Breath Armor Shop,” was smaller than the “Dragon’s Breath Armor Shop,” but it was a familiar store with an integrated workshop.

Indeed, as one-of-a-kind items are their specialty, no two items are alike, and each one is different from the next.

At first glance, Tauro thought that he might find something more suitable for himself here.

“Are you from the human race?…That means you must be Tauro-sama. Thank you for coming to our store!”

Again, Tauro was welcomed as a lifesaver.

“…ahaha. May I take a look at your products?”

“With pleasure!”

I decided to look at the products, receiving a response I had heard somewhere before.

From Tauro’s point of view, it was immediately apparent that all of the items were good enough without the use of “true eyes”.

“The lineup of products is separated from that of the “Dragon’s Breath Armor Store.”

However, the majority of the items in the store were basically adult-sized items, and there were few items in Tauro’s size.

I will defend that this is the normal feeling of the store, but it was only because I had seen the first store.

“Regarding the size, depending on the type, you can adjust it somewhat, so don’t worry. What kind of item do you need?”

The clerk must have noticed Tauro’s reaction, because he asked.

“If possible, do you have any light and sturdy leather armor, a small shield that is also light and sturdy, and a light and large shield for my friend to carry instead of me?”

Tauro looked around the store and answered the clerk.

“Leather armor? If that is the case, I would recommend you to go to the shop that recently split from our store. The dwarves originally made the best leather armor in our company. ─ ─ If you are looking for a shield, how about this round shield made of an unknown metal obtained from a golem in this dungeon, beaten and stretched and attached to the surface? It is made of wood except for the surface and back, but the wood part is also carved from a piece of a wood-type monster, so it is very strong and lightweight. It may be pricey, but it is one of our craftsmen’s pride and joy.”

The shopkeeper took off the shield that was displayed on a high place, took it down, and handed it to Tauro.

It was indeed surprisingly lightweight, yet comfortable in the hand and, above all, it looked durable

When I checked with my “true eye,” it was obvious that the price was quite high, but the shield was well worth it.

“Another larger shield…how about this one? It is called a long shield. However, judging from the small sword on Tauro-sama’s waist, this shield is not suitable for you, is it?”

“No, it’s not something I would equip myself with, but my fellow Ragune…”

“Oh, Ragune? Then it should be fine. She’s a dragon knight and a spearman, and this shield is suitable for handling with a spear, and she would be happy to have this shield since she wanted it herself.”

The shopkeeper apparently knows Ragune.

Maybe she is a regular at this store.

If you think about it, it wouldn’t be strange for the dragon people to know each other.

“How is she? She hasn’t shown her face for a long time, so I was worried about her. Oh, I’m a relative of Ragune’s.”

You’re related to her?

Tauro inwardly retorted, he thought that the store clerk was unnecessarily handsome, and was convinced that he was a relative of Ragune’s.
