Kapitel 6: Yandere shield
"Oh isn't this shield Nii-san?" as I entered the weapon shop to sell some of my craft in order to gain this world currency, no I'm just kidding I was here to test something.
"Oh, Will-kun where have you been? And where's Altria-chan? you worried the others you know running off somewhere even that king told us this was your wish"
"hahaha, sorry Nii-san I can't help but be excited from the prospect getting to another world like those isekai protagonists did and Altria, she's currently in an inn we booked in." Well, after hearing from charlotte onee-san (the librarian girl) last night apparently there were records of people from another world who got stranded here and most of them are carrying tremendous knowledge and even power that sometimes rival the heroes.
After hearing that, I concluded staying inside the castle would be dangerous and detrimental to our journey, as most of the noble who have heard of me will be tried to rope me to dangerous game of theirs, even there's rumor where the noble plotting to trap one of the heroes to become their slaves, and the most viable target was the shield hero who really scorned in this country. Though the man in front of me didn't know shit about it. I hope he will learn someday oh I think it will be soon, as I noticed the young woman behind him who inspecting some blades and armor.
After on it was a piece of cake, I just walk through the king chamber using presence concealment since I noticed the king had some hidden guard around him, then using a mind-altering spell on him. He was sleeping so it was easy to invade his mind. and I don't forget to leave some farewell gift in the form of a half-empty treasury, I only took a few hundred thousand golds, some crafting material, precious metals, and jewels.
"Nii-san, I think you should watch your back you know" of course he won't believe it, I only said that to gain his trust later on. From all of the heroes, he painfully reminded me of my best friend in the past, a nice and adaptable person to befriend with. I think because of that I prefer him than the others. Still, he is in another world, another set of game rules.
"what do you mean about that will-kun?"
"nothing, just remember my words 'kay Nii-san" then I step-up to the counter leaving him to his own thought.
"oi, ossan do you buy weapons?" I speak to the burly and bald man in front of me, no doubt the owner of this shop judging from his attire and looks.
"brat, I think you should watch your tongue you know." though he said that, he was using playful tone to me.
"meh, so you buy weapons or not?"
"material, weapon, or armor I can buy them as long as they are within my interest."
"then can you take a look at this" I pulled two daggers from the inventory, of course, I didn't show it. I used a sling leather bag as a disguise whenever I want to use the inventory in front of people.
"Oh, aren't you have something shiny here" he took the daggers then he was chanting, a ball of light flew out to the daggers, only to bounce off harmlessly.
"How peculiar, I tried to appraise it but I can certainly feel the holy energy emanating from it.", as he rubbed his chin.
As expected, the SS and appraisal magic also cannot appraise item I made before coming to this world. Taking the daggers back, I pulled yet another set of daggers. This one was made last night using the same properties as the previous daggers.
"how about this one, ossan!"
Repeating his previous action, this time he successfully appraised it. "oh, a pair of twin daggers with holy properties, and also anti-rust and blood enhancement. And it also has an intricate decoration with the sheath." Placing back the daggers to the table, he crossed his arms, "I can give you 5-no 700 silver coins for this, still are you sure to sell this? If you sell it to the nobles or auction you may get a triple price of it you know."
"I need quick cash right now, and that's too troublesome. Besides, aren't the waves monsters consisted with most of them being undead, 10 gold for it ossan."
"too expensive, 770 silver"
"oi, oi, ossan this will be more expensive when the waves hit you know 900 silver."
"huh, not bad brat 800 silver" as we bartering forth, we settled it at 850 silver. 100 bronze coins are worth 1 silver coin and 100 silver coins are worth 1 gold coin. Apparently, gold coin here was usually used when making large deals like buying a piece of land, houses, or expensive things.
"still, where did you get it?", Naofumi joined in after seeing our transaction.
"ah, that's a trade secret Nii-san, don't worry about it though I didn't steal it or anything."
Taking the pouch of silver coin into my bag, I bid them farewell and head outside the city.
'Will, have you done?' Altria asks me through the link 'yeah, I will head to the inn first before opening the portal', she was actually inside "my room" using the inn as a disguise. It can't be helped I also put a bounded field around the inn to keep the spy who started following us since I came back from the library.
----------------------------------------=====================------------------------------
Strolling around the outskirts of the city, we were greeted with grassland and some forests surrounding it. Taking shelter from the blazing sun under a lone big tree, we set up our baggage.
Altria as usual, she sat beside me munched another daifuku set I promised to her as she read a book.
Pulling a small log of wood inside the inventory, I carve it into a wooden hunting bow for a good three hours as I also make a fine decoration around the body of the bow, I also make some arrow with the leftover and carved stone as its arrowhead.
"Will, do you think me as a burden." Altria suddenly asked I took a peek at her. Her face was covered with the book she read so I can't see her expression. then i took a peek at her book 'fifty shades of rainbow', guess now i know why.
"why do you think so Altria?" I sighed at this, how I can see her as a burden when she faithfully follows me and every word I said, granted she has total loyalty to me thanks to the system still at least what I can do is spoil her rotten, and indulge her with whatever things she wants.
"mm-master…." She lost her composure as she called me my old nickname and steam came out from her head as she covered her face with the book. Oh, Crap, "did I say that out loud?" old habit dies hard it seems.
"u..hm" she nodded her face still planted on the book.
"Regardless, what I said is true Altria." I carefully patted her head, it feels weird though since our height was the same.
Our current relationship was more like siblings or brother and sister, it may change in the future and I couldn't care less about it.
"oiii! Will-kun!" I searched the source of the voice, then my vision landed on two figures. It seems Naofumi-san is also someone with natural mood-breaker skill, I smiled a little at this.
"what're you doing here will-kun?" Naofumi approached me, with his companion in tow behind him.
"we're just relaxing here and Altria want to me to take her into a picnic." He then glanced at her, who started become silence once again and focusing on her book.
"I can see that, oh I forgot to introduce her but she is myne my party member." He introduced his only member, a redhead girl with an upside ponytail.
"hello there Will-kun, Altria-chan." She offered her hand to me with a sweet smile
As I tried to grab her hand, "don't touch him, you trash!" Altria said lowly but we can still clearly heard it.
"ahahaha, it looks like Altria is too engrossed with her book." I put a hand into the back of my head scratching it awkwardly.
"Oh, is that a bow will-kun?" Naofumi tried to break the mood, once again. Nice, Naofumi san!
"Yeah, I've been carving it for three hours." I took the bow into my hands, knocked an arrow onto it,
Then I pulled the string. Pow! a balloon monster from fifty meters ahead popped up.
"isn't that amazing!, where do you learn something like that?"
"those balloon monster, they like lives only as target practice for marksman." I said trying to shift the conversation as I popped t another balloons around the previous one as they tried to scattered around the area, no doubt they are too dumb to realize what's coming for them. "somehow, this is very relaxing."
"really? I took a good five minutes just to punch and popped one of them earlier. Becoming a shield hero is somehow frustrating, and I can't take any other weapon nor absorb them into my shield." Naofumi deadpanned at this.
I mused at this, it looks like level 1 strength was actually comparable with a newborn or maybe a toddler power. As the weakest balloon, the orange one was actually has the durability of a normal gas balloon.
"haha, they said a weapon has a soul of its own, I think the weapon you four heroes use is what they called as yandere."
Naofumi chuckled at this, "a yandere huh, ouch!"
"what's up Nii-san?" I take a look at him.
"I don't know it suddenly zapped me" he looks confused, "try to say it again, Nii-san," I said.
"okay, my shield is a yandere!, OUCH!" his body suddenly jerked forward.
"it looks like I hit the mark." I nonchalantly said as I popped another balloon.
"that is so hurt you know, I would take it for granted if she can become a girl or something, ow!" he yelled painfully again.
"I think that is a blessing in disguise Nii-san, not everyone has a shield that can punish their owner you know."
"really, are all boys this stupid or something," and that was the only time when the two girls agree with something.
