“Shopping with Delight”

After I took the reward I gave it to the female warrior. A weird medieval weapon did not attract me even for a second, unlike my companion whose eyes shined with desire.

To compensate for this minor act, my friends decided to take me shopping with them. I wonder why they are willing to spend their money after I just gave one of them a piece of blackish steel but I guess I will never understand the locals.

“What? What is wrong? Hey, Miss Delight?” The others were concerned when I leaned against a wall.

My declaration made everyone dumbfounded.

“What do you…!”

“What is this smell?” The knight asked after we exited.

I sniffed.

“Oh my… I know what this smell is…”
