It's been a few more minutes since we left the Tsutenkaku Tower. So far, our ride is smooth and the undead around the road is not really a threat and they can't even chase our car. Of course, we don't do some speeding on the road because there are also abandoned cars around the streets that tend to stop our progress into our destination.
Souichi inspects the metals we are gathering slowly as he is still not sure what these items are.
”What do you think will those two say about these metals? We really have no idea what these things are and how the heck they even pop out from the bodies of the undead,” Okabe asked as he looked at Souichi inspecting the metals.
”No idea. I am not a blacksmith myself but I have seen different kinds of metal in my life and I have never seen this metal ever in my entire life. This is also the first time I have seen a metal pop out from undead monsters since the normal ones don't even give them,” Souichi answered.
”Are you all even sure those are metals? They might look shiny and hard but they looked like bars of charcoal too,” Kaito said as he keeps his eyes intact to the road.
”No doubt about it, Kaito. It might look different but charcoal is not this hard and cannot be compared to this one. Although it has some components of a metal, it also has the components of DNA fragments inside it when I checked it on my microscope so, from my guess, these metals can be said to be a foreign part that forms inside the body of an infected and can be looted from killing monsters infected by virus Galea. Still, I can't really confirm whether this thing is a metal or not. I don't have much knowledge in regard to metal so we will ask the expert,” I said as I check the metal's exterior look. The glossy texture I can feel in my gloves is just a little bit something I can only feel in steel.
”You mean the guy that Shoko and Kota mentioned? The guy who produces weapons they sell most of the time?” Souichi looked at me as he remembered what the two said back then.
”Yeah. I remembered that Kyosei asked Shoko for a repair to his broken cleaver and when he claimed it back, it was replaced with a forged steel blade. I don't think this guy is someone ordinary, he must be a real good blacksmith. If he is indeed a blacksmith, then this guy is someone who can easily determine what this metal is.”

We arrived at our destination 30 minutes later. After inputting the usual password, we entered the gun store while carrying the metals. During our last visits, the place is empty with people except for Shoko and Kota but now, I saw a few guys buying out things inside the store. They were a bit burly and they looked intimidating since they looked like thugs. I don't want to be acquainted with them when Souichi was the first one to greet them.
”Hey! If it isn't Big Fat Joe! You are still as healthy as ever!”
”Hmmm? Souichi? Holy crap, you are still alive! I didn't expect to see you up and about!” the big guy who looked liked the usual fat men gangsters in movies responded to Souichi.
