A Man Should Be Quiet and Carry a Sword

”hellooo I'd like to buy some weapons”

Kasil Arain, the door was unlocked The walls of the store were lined with all kinds of weapons None of thens clearly focused on practicality and function

And then maybe there was just a small embellish things

”There's no one here”

”Maybe they are in the back?”

”Should we really just walk in here?”

”It is not our fault that there is no one here If anything, we shouldany thieves in”

”Maybe you're right…I'll take a look”

”Yes I ait out here”

As the owner see, I talked about it with Daniela and decided to go towards the back from behind the counter

There was a hallway behind the door, and there was a light on hello? I call as check the doors

”Ah, it's hot…a se rooht of a furnace It was incredibly war steamed alive

”It's damn hot…but still, it would probably be on ar from inside of the furnace Hot air shot out and wrecked my hair I really needed a haircut… I looked around the room, but I couldn't see anyone

”Hmm…I wouldn't be surprised if someone fainted in this heat, but it doesn't look to be the…what!?”

I wiped at the sweat on my forehead and turned around to leave, and saw someone on the floor behind the door A bushy beard A ha by his state, it looked like he had lost consciousness while trying to escape from the room It had been completely out of my vision I frantically ran over to him and tried to pull hi him out of the rooet you so that we used when out caed to roll the blacksic I didn't think about it toocracked and creaked into shape on my palm Then I put the ice blocks near his neck, under his arms, and around his feet And lastly, I froze a wet towel and placed it over his forehead

”I guess that just about does it…”

I was pretty sure that this was how to deal with it There were a lot of shows on tv that taught you about this in the suave them the etting worried because you were late…what happened here?”

”Ah, Daniela This guy passed out in the sht be a heatstroke”

”A heatstroke…is that what happens when you are in a very hot place?”

”You could say that It happens when you are dehydrated and your salt is depleted”

”I see…we must be careful e visit volcanic mountains”

I was about to ask e had ever decided to visit a volcanic roaned and opened his eyes

”Mmm, hhh…my head…who the hell are you…”

He seemed too dazed to stand up and continued to stare at the ceiling But he could at least reply to ood

“A customer There was no one around e came in, so I tried to look around, and you had fainted in the s I do re dizzy…but I couldn't…”

”Yes You were just one step short of the door, too”

He was so close It really was too bad I guess it showed how preoccupied he had been with his work He needed to beproblem for me, as I needed to buy weapons

”Sorry…thank you for the help I ao to the store”

”Are you sure? You don't have to push yourself, alright?”

”Ah, this is nothing…oh, oh, still a little shaky”

Maybe he didn't understand theof fine?

”Ah, you'll have to pardon me But I have to sit down because of my head So you eapons, eh? What kind of weapons?”
