Chapter 37 (1/2)
Arriving at a town near the border, Rudel's partywhen they arrived, and as it would be dangerous at night, the subjugation was set for the following day Vargas and Eunius sallied forth into the town of the night, partly to prepare for tomorrohile Luecke spent his time with a book in the inn
Basyle went out saying she had to look into so was off about the requested, so it seems she went off to ask around town about her
And Rudel decided to look around the blacksas already had his own equipment, and Eunius possessed his own specially-made claymore Even Luecke's self-protection one-handed sas a special order But Rudel's sas a cheap one
Perhaps because he would only ever swing it around in training, the one he received at hisit fine, but lately, its quality was dropping, and it was starting to chip He was carefully looking after it… but when it came to life or death, he did have his anxieties
”Is the store still open… according to the innkeeper, it's supposed to be somewhere around here…”
Rudel walked alone through the unfa by the innkeeper's ht of a number of weapon shops Lined up in front of the stores were sturdy weapons and well-orna around the display weapons, he entered a shop to see their stock
”This is best for kids”
”A rapier? I'd prefer so more durable…
”How about it, noble boy!? Aren't all our store's weapons the coolest!?”
”Yeah, they do look cool (Those unnecessary ornaments look heavy)”
”If you buy two, I'll throw in this knife as a bonus”
”I don't need two”
A majority of the shops either treated hioods onto him due to his noble status While there were definitely a few nice pieces a theive up
It was at that le le katana Rudel had learned about it froht of it as an eastern saber, but according to Izumi it was used differently
”How rare… but why is there only one?”
Standing before the ht, katanas rarely circulated through Courtois Yet the , his beard and hair a scraggly mess He seemed to be in terrible shape
”It's the last piece I was able to er have a smithy to make another…”
The man explained with uncomfortable words While Rudel kneouldn't use it, perhaps Izumi would be happy to receive it, so he pulled out the exact price of the tag
Thea question as he took the rown intrigued by Rudel who could calmly hand it over
”Do you intend to use this katana? As the seller, it may be odd for me to say, but if you don't kno to use and look after it, it's no more than a lump or iron”
Taking the katana, Rudel carefully held it as he spoke
”I have an acquaintance fro it so you don't have to worry Truth be told, I wanted a weapon for ”
The money Rudel put out had been fro as of late But in the academy, he had little opportunity to use it, so his funds would only build up He had intended to use it to buy a neeapon for himself… but in the end, it became a present for Izumi
”… I see, so you're acquainted with one of my countrymen”
