After spending the night at the lord’s mansion, the next day.
Cyclo and Mist went to town to buy weapons and equipment.
Since they had breakfast at the lord’s mansion before they left, neither of them was hungry …… but…
“–Mist?”
Cyclo noticed that Mist’s pace was lagging behind.
He looked and saw that Mist’s gaze had been stolen by a food stall selling skewers.
“…… Mist. Do you want to eat?”
“–Fue!? M-Master!?”
Mist hurriedly misdirected.
“T-That’s not possible! Come on, Master! Let’s go look at the weapons!”
Cyclo smiles at Mist.
“You don’t have to hold back. I’ll buy you as many skewers as you want.”
“…… Really?”
Cyclo nods in response to Mist’s question.
“Yeah. The truth is …… I have a special Job Skill called “Clock User”.”
“A clock user?”
“Yeah. It’s not as much as Mist, but I had trouble with various things. it’s not necessarily –because of that, but because if Mist is happy, I feel like I’m being rewarded, and that makes me happy. “
Cyclo is embarrassed, but speaks his true feelings.
“So don’t hesitate to tell me what you want and what you want to do.”
“Master.”
Receiving Cyclo’s thoughts, Mist nodded her head in a serious manner, as if she too had felt something.
“I understand. If that’s the case – I’ll make be happy without hesitation. I’m going to get a lot of things from Master then.”
Mist said a little mischievously, to which Cyclo responded in the same way.
“Yeah. Don’t hesitate to take as much as you want!”
“Yes!”
After confirming each other’s intentions, the two bought two skewers of roasted meat and headed for the weapons store, each enjoying one skewer at a time.
Upon arriving at the weapon shop, they were allowed to try out various weapons to find the one that best suited Misto’s skills.
“–If you want to test it out, do it here.”
The owner of the arms shop led us to an open space built behind the store for testing.
Cyclo expects to see bundles of straw and wood randomly placed on the floor for test cutting.
“Thank you very much, shopkeeper. Can I bring the weapons together?”
“Yeah. If it’s to test the weapon, you can.”
With the shopkeeper’s permission, Cyclo brings the weapons for test cutting to the open space.
Among them, there were some unusual weapons, such as a club and a chain sickle.
“Okay, then, Mist. Try these out in turn.”
“Yes, sir!”
Thus began Mist’s test cutting.
At first, she started with standard weapons such as swords and spears. However, no matter which weapon she used, she only moved unsteadily and did not seem to have any aptitude for it.
Then she tried all the bladed weapons and found that she was not suited for any of them.
