“You…” murmured the owner, looking down at us from the counter. Her face was twisted in pain, and her hands were shaking. “See? If you don’t attack it, you’re the one who gets hurt.” But she was a slave, and there was magic that would punish her for disobeying. When I held out the balloon, she let out a shriek of surprise and seemed so taken aback that she nearly dropped her knife. I removed one and held it out to Raphtalia. I then opened my cape to reveal the Orange Balloons there. She kept her terrified eyes fixed on me and nodded. I expect you to use it to fight monsters. Surely she knew that disobeying me would only result in further suffering? I kept my eyes on her, took a seat, and started talking. She finished changing in silence and then ran over to me.

The river running through the country split into three rivers upstream, and I’d moved my hunting over in that direction recently. There was a river that flowed through the fields. She ducked inside, and coughed the whole time she was changing. I gave Raphtalia the knife and clothes and sent her in. “And here’s your clothes and cape.” The owner threw them roughly in my direction before leading us to the fitting room. Raphtalia, with the knife in her hand, looked pale. I made Raphtalia hold them all and then chose the one I thought fit her best.
The owner muttered quietly to himself as he laid some knives out on the counter.įrom the right side moving left, there was a bronze, steel, and an iron knife.Īpparently the price changed based on the type of handle.
And do you have any other clothes or capes back there?” “I don’t know if the country is wrong, or if you’ve just gone rotten. “Give me a weapon that this girl can use. If I didn’t get some weapons, there would be no point to any of this. We’d gone to the weapon shop, and the owner leaned on the counter and sighed when he saw me come in with Raphtalia.
