8 Danger (1/2)

”This armor is made from the scales of a turtle dragon. I guarantee it's defensive prowess, even those of level 80 and above will find it difficult to dent it.” the merchant presented to the shinigami in awe

”And how much does this cost?” Shiro asked drooling as he looked at the imposing dark blue armor

”100 platinum coins!”

Something inside the shinigami cracked as he was broken out of his stupor. Turning his gaze towards the merchant from the armor, he gave a 'Are you serious' look as if the man was insane. He just came into the shop and asked if he had any armor and the man just went ahead and showed him a masterpiece he couldn't hope to afford!

'Is he trying to mess with my feelings!? Where is the justice!?'Shiro thought as he was still staring at the merchant incredulously

”Um, do you have anything cheaper? Preferably in the 11 gold price range?” Shiro asked a little embarrassed that he wasn't worthy of even looking at the armor

Moments later the shinigami was sent flying out the door by boot.

Shiro sighed as he continued to loiter around the commercial district in search for armor.

”Magic infused silk armor! 300 gold!”

”Savage King Snake's leather boots! 170 gold!”

”Emperor Armadillo's Pauldrons! 600 gold!”

Everything was freakin expensive! His 11 gold didn't seem like it could buy anything

[The equipment here is overpriced due to them coming from the main continent] The system's voice rang out

'Still, at the very least I want to get something to help keep me alive.' Shiro thought as he kept looking around.

The shinigami stopped as something caught his eyes. It was a blue hat, one of those bamboo hats that farmers and samurais wore. Honestly, he should be looking for armor but he was sort of a weaboo for this kind of thing.

The old shop lady noticed the snow haired boy's look and smiled.

”That hat was from an eastern warrior. He died in a city raid, I picked it up afterwards. I'm not sure of the material, but it's pretty sturdy. For you lad, 10 gold!” The elderly merchant lady said

”10 gold for a hat?” shiro said cocking a brow, sure he found it cool. but 10 gold for a hat? Are you serious?

”It's a rare find around these parts, I am already quite generous to offer 10” The shop owner smiled causing the shinigami to give her a look

”5 gold” he responded

”9 gold” she countered

”6”
