Chapter 59

A week pa.s.sed . A week pa.s.sed . It bears repeating . Romancing with Daniela had made the time fly by really quickly . We lived off of the money I had made from Lord Wyvern, and then the week was over before we knew it . As for specifics, it will be omitted here, as it is private . What I will say, is that Daniela was very cute . That is all .

Well, perhaps a week full of romancing was enough to help Daniela calm down . Because we no longer moved arm in arm all around town, and she no longer refused to leave my room after returning to the inn . We were now used to the reality, I guess . I tended to feel bashful at times, so a little distance made me feel better . I suppose she must have been very lonely all those years by herself . I understood that feeling too, to an extent . Working at night put you in contact with lots of customers, but your interactions were only on the surface . I would smile good-naturedly to complaints and give the answers written in the manual . And I could only bow and apologize to customers who were drunk and angry . Even my interactions with the other workers there were just ‘good morning’ and ‘goodbye . ’ There wasn’t much opportunity to make friends when you woke up at night and slept during the day . Ultimately, what I had met was store robber and that was it . It made me wonder who was really the happier during this past week .

But, just thinking about the happy days ahead of us brought a smile to my face . It made me want to bury my face into the pillow and flail my legs . I consider doing just that, as my buried face smells the scent of her hair . I really couldn’t help how it had an effect on me .

“Hah… . ha…

I would lose myself in that scent . The scent of someone you loved .

And so it also couldn’t be helped that I didn’t notice that I was late in meeting up with Daniela for a trip to the armor store .

I didn’t even realize that the door had opened .

“Ahh, ahh, Daniela…”

“Um…Asagi . ”

“Ah, ahhh…!”

The sudden voice forced me to pull my face out of the pillow . Daniela was standing in front of me with a forced smile .

“Le-let me explain…”

“That is not necessary . I know . I know . ”

“Listen!”

“I will give you ten more minutes…no, you will likely only need five . Meet me in front of the inn in five minutes . ”

“Wait! Daniela!”

I could not persuade her, and Daniela shut the door and left . But what did she mean by five minutes? In any case, I better get dressed and go after her…

I got dressed in five minutes and left the room .

“Hmm, right on time . ”

“Um, Miss Daniela . ”

“Let us go then . ”

Apparently, she was not going to listen to me today, and no matter what subject I brought up on our way to the store, she brushed them aside . Just when I was feeling incredibly defeated, we arrived at the Paw Armor Shop . We went inside and down to the back . We were now very familiar with the place .

“h.e.l.lo . ”

“Ahh, Asagi . It is ready for you . ”

We were led to a room in the farthest back . And there, in a security case, was my lovely set or armor .

“Yes…fantastic . ”

The hooded poncho made of magical fibers from a green wind dragon . The trousers . The waist mantle . The chest armor made of platinum scales and black iron from an ice dragon . The gauntlets . Leg guards . It was a beauty .

“A set worthy of the name ‘Silvergreen’!”

It was true . Ultimately, this set had those very colors in them . Though, it was a complete coincidence .

“Will you try it on here?”

“Of course . ”

And so I borrowed the changing room and put on the new set of armor . The leather armor had served me well for a long time . It was a pre-owned set that had been sold at an armor shop . Leather really was quite durable . It had sentimental value to me, so I decided to keep it in the hollow bag for now . This was part of my origin . Even my old iron sword was kept in there . And though I had lost the tip of the steel sword, I kept the blade and the sheath . I just found it difficult to throw things away .

Now it was done . I opened the curtains and stepped outside . Daniela’s eyes were sparkling, the clerk a.s.sessed me with folded arms, some other female clerk sighed . Who was she?
