Nagai Koto Chapter 007

The Long Journey Until I Reunite With You

An Annoying Pattern

If it were the previous world it could become a tourist attraction, but the police would definitely intervene on the shop A one-handed buster sword, a dagger for self defense, sets of bows and arrows, spears, cudgels ether with shi+elds and armor to defend oneself with Up till now I’ve never once co of aeapon I should use

「I haven’t coot a good selection」 (Melma)

「Well I’ really stands out right away」 (Velt)

To be frank, when it comes to swords and spears, I’ve never touched a real one before, though I do have experience ooden swords In any case, in order to get used to it, I’h In any case, I should choose so that’s easy to handle and that I’m familiar with

「Asakura, what sort of style did you fight with」 (Melma)

「Kicks I’ll kick and kick and kick I didn’t really punch much」 (Velt)

「Ooh, you’re pretty unusual」 (Melma)

「But, in this world there are coer than humans, aren’t there? I haven’tunarht?」 (Velt)

「H eapons then?」 (Melma)

「When I fought against a bunch of people, when my opponent took out a spiked bat, I struck back with a baton」 (Velt)

「A baton? Is that really how you’ve been carrying yourself?!」 (Melma)

「Buuut, thinking about that there ain’t anything like a baton It e in a different world」 (Velt)

If I were to use a weapon, it’d be good if it were so I’m experienced with I’ve used batons and metal bats a few times before However, as expected I don’t see theels, but there aren’taround like that

「Whatsat～ Going to use a weapon kid? Even though we only sell to people over 13?」 (Shopkeeper)

Looking over the figures of sensei and I who extensively looked through the shelves, the oldon the chair spoke out to us

「That’s why, sensei is going to hand you the money and buy it for me」 (Velt)

「Nonsense! The point is, like I said, a kid will be using a weapon that I’!」 (Shopkeeper)

Well, that’s how it is Since I wanted to sht it for me But, even then I didn’t leave

「Hey, oldenough to protect my family and childhood friend Especially since I don’t knohen the de to come and attack with their armies」 (Velt)

Everything was a lie But, it’s better to reason with the geezer However, the old man had a weak response

「Fu~n, you’re a pretty cheeky brat for saying these things aren’t you? As far as how h, you should know this country’s army isn’t weak」 (Shopkeeper)

「Er- well, that’s true」 (Velt)

「Even then, kid, come and stand over here for a bit」 (Shopkeeper)

「Kay」 (Velt)

Doing as he said, I stood in front of the old man He silently looked at me froazed right into my eyes Or rather, there was a serious look in the old man’s eyes

「Fu~n, you’re pretty dull huh You don’t have the hope, talent, or resolution」 (Shopkeeper)

「Haa? What the hell are you saying all of a sudden? Or rather, what the hell can you see with your eyes you senile old man?」 (Velt)

「Ooh, a boy withoutto the point, you don’t have the qualifications or the resolution to go about wielding a weapon, kid」 (Shopkeeper)

「Resolution?」 (Velt)

「You listening? You hold a weapon to take out your opponent, but you need the resolution to be killed yourself」 (Shopkeeper)

At this time, I had a bad premonition This pattern was a pain in the ass This oldothers, which is why he has to blab on about resolution

「If you’re going to injure someone you’ll need to resolve yourself and take responsibility for beco fit to do so If you don’t have the resolution nor the responsibility, don’t even think about holding a weapon」 (Shopkeeper)

Look here Ever since the past, and in whatever world there is, there hasn’t been anyone lecturing and twisting theuy As for how it should be, kids shouldn’t have to think about every single daht?

「What a pain」 (Velt)

「What was that?」 (Shopkeeper)

「Well, although there are things that are important, I’ a weapon to injure so a weapon to protect et hurt With that,will increase, and the rest is using it with the resolution to beat et hurt As for taking responsibility, I haven’t killed someone before, nor have I irrevocably haro that far」 (Velt)

What a stubborn oldback in retaliation Without holding back, the stuff the old hteous, but he spoke like he was looking down on people, which pissed me off

「You’re too honest, and all theto you」 (Shopkeeper)

Well, that’s what happened The old usted face

「YOU IDIOOOOOOOOT!!」 (Melma)

「That hurts, sensei, don’t hit me」 (Velt)

「Nois much more just than you!」 (Melma)

「No, well that’s true, but nonetheless」 (Velt)

Sensei also got mad at me

「Well, nothing I can do, I’ll coain another day」 (Velt)

Back in my life as Asakura Ryuuma, the old lady at the store calmly let me buy dirty books at the bookstore, but that doesn’t seeh I say that, it’d be unreasonable to do so as in actuality I haven’t even found a suitable weapon yet From here, I suppose I could only obediently leave, and as I did,

「Oh? If I’m not mistaken is that Velt over there?」 (????)

Suddenly a childish voice called out totrousers and a white shi+rt covered with a purple mantle

「It’s Shalt, yo」 (Velt)

(TN: His name is written as “Shout,” but the naed it to Shalt)

「Yaa, fancyhappen?」 (Shalt)

(TN: They both say the equivalent of “yo” in japanese and English, so I’ll just leave the japanese one as “Yaa” (やあ))
