Chapter 29 (2/2)

His height should be within 170cm I think? A weapons dealer with an overall st.u.r.dy and a beard. Is he from the Dwarf race?7

「I’m not a child. I’ve temporarily registered at the Adventurer’s Guild today. Although my exam is tomorrow, I’m only taking a look at the weapons today. That being the case, I’ll be leaving in a bit.」

Saying that, the Dwarf old man-

「Temporarily registered you say? What’re those bunch doing in the guild letting a child register? No matter how I see it ya ain’t even grown up.」

I’ve become accustomed to these exchanges, or should I say I’ve gotten tired of them.

「Even though it looks that way, I’m 15 years old. It’s been confirmed by the Adventurer’s Guild’s card. I’ll come back with the card after I’ve pa.s.sed the exam.」

I can bring the card as proof.

It’s troublesome to explain.

I decided to quickly leave for today.

Leaving the weapons dealer and returning to the main street, I search for a clothing store while I head towards the inn.

Because I came across a shop which seemed like one, I entered to have a look.

It wasn’t very colourful inside, but clothes were lined up side by side. It seems there isn’t much variety. Could this shop be a store for women? There seems to be underwear placed towards the interior.

I search for clothing in a size that fits me but they’re all too big, when I look through the tunics, their lengths all end up around below knee level. Even the smallest size is the length of a miniskirt.

When I asked the employee-san, it seems the only size I can wear is for children.

Somehow I’ve lost all my willpower. From among those, I chose a dress, tunic and pants which were like hotpants as my everyday clothing.

Next I’ll also need to pick out some lingerie and underwear.

For underwear, there were mostly drawers (kabocha pantsu), the rest were stringed panties (g-string) and loincloth-like underwear.

There aren’t any typical elastic panties like there is in j.a.pan.8

Could it be, that is to say creating elastic is still impossible for this world’s technology?

For lingerie, I purchased a number of chemise type slips.

For bras… how should I say it, there wasn’t any bras without a cup attached. (eg; sports bras)

There are cloths to wrap around, or should I say it seems like that’s the only way.

I purchased a number of them just in case.

Lastly, I purchased the tunic from the beginning to subst.i.tute as pajamas.

The materials of the underwear, lingerie and the tunic used as my sleepwear are cotton, with the remaining being hemp.

With that, my change of clothing is good.

Finis.h.i.+ng paying, my baggage has increased once more, so I decide to return to the inn.

Placing the increased baggage in the inn, I once again head out to go shopping.

I ask a person from the inn about a general store and shoe store.

I have a considerable amount of time and money left to use.

The current time should be before 6 o’clock, luckily it seems the general store and shoe store are close by.

The remaining money on me is 1 gold, 15 silvers and 6 coppers, and also 3 punctured coppers

First, I’ll go to the shoe store.

Because made-to-order seems to the standard, I had them to make leather shoes and boots.

To measure my size, they took a pattern of my foot and that was it.

It seems it’ll take approximately 5 days to complete.

Since I’m done with the shoe store, next is the general store.

The general store has various miscellaneous goods.

Daily use general goods and accessories, things like decorations are abundant.9

Only just lightly looking around, several things have attracted my interest.

It would be interesting to carefully look around, however I decide to do it another time when I have the time.

For now I’m purchasing cloths to serve as a towel and sc.r.a.ps of disposable cloths, several ribbons to tie up my hair, wooden bottles to put spices in and cooking tools and utensils such as cutlery.

Though I say cooking tools, it’s just a pot and a frying pan.

And with that, today’s shopping comes to an end.

When I returned to the inn, the sun has already begun to set, could the current time be around 7 o’clock?

After requesting dinner, I place the baggage in my room while I wait for my dish to be cooked.

When I returned to the dining hall, as one would expect, the tables were mostly occupied during dinner time.

Because I’m by myself, I sit at the counter, immediately my dish was carried over and I started to eat.

The menu isn’t very brilliant in this world.10

I think I miss rice and pasta. I’ll try to make it soon since I have all the ingredients.

Finis.h.i.+ng my meal, I return to my room.

While arranging the purchases from today, I remembered the thing about the bath.

Because there isn’t a bath included in the room, there should be a public one.

Heading back to the dining hall which I left a moment ago, I ask about the bath.

It seems you need to place a reservation in advance for the time you want to enter the bath.

Luckily, because it’s currently available at this time, I decide to enter immediately.

I grabbed my lingerie, underwear and the tunic subst.i.tuted as pajamas that I purchased today, then went towards the bath. A cloth to dry the body seems to be complimentary from the inn.

After taking a bath and was.h.i.+ng off the sweat from today, a person from the inn called out to me as I was returning to my room.

It appears a package addressed to me has arrived from the tool shop.

Which reminds me of the delivery I requested.

I received the blanket and returned to my room.

I wrapped a cloth subst.i.tuted as a towel (I’ll just call it a towel because it’s troublesome) around my hair, then continued to arrange the baggage.

I pack the baggage into the rucksack and pouch respectively, I can carry it once again.

Ooh, it’s light.

It’s own weight isn’t the same as the items I put in, but as expected of a magic tool prepared by a King.

I think it’s thanks to the effect of the lightweight-ification. Isn’t this rucksack a considerably high level item…?

I take out a tunic and pants from the baggage for tomorrow’s change of clothes.

With that, the preparations for tomorrow are complete.

I turned off the lights in the room and went to bed, I fall asleep while thinking about tomorrow’s exam.
