"Ah I am sorry... we trail a bit too far in our conversation. So let's get back to the matter about the clothes shall we?" Kazuki said that.
"Sure," I reply.
With that, we're back in the topics regarding my clothes... as her sister Matsuri was still watching over us at the front counter.
After a few minutes of talking about one kind of clothes, I want the specific detail of it. Kazuki finally answered whether they're going to tailor that kind of clothes or not.
"I see but I am rather sorry Yei... Our supplies wouldn't be enough to make that kind of clothes at the moment."
"Well, I just need one... not dozens of them. So no way would it cost a lot of supplies right?"
"About that, you see, we could just make ordinary clothes but I wouldn't recommend that. As it would be easily thorned apart... That's why it's best to make the clothes using a special thread but as I say, we are out of that apparently."
"Special thread? What kind of thread..."
"It's from a spider, a large spider... I think you have heard of it as well, The Spider Terror Webscream." Kazuki said that.
Terror Webscream... of course, I am familiar with that spider. It's one of the toughest spiders, it has the same skillet as a regular spider but what makes it different is because it makes a scream that could deafen one's ear. If someone gets caught in that, it would confuse you as well... making you unable to control your own character and with that, you would be attacking your own party member.
Of course, the skin was as hard as a rock as well... But do they need to defeat it? As from what I know inside the game before, it was considered as one of the bosses of a dungeon and it wasn't just a normal monster that you see roaming the forest or the cave area.
"I have heard of that spider before? But how do you collect the special thread then... there's no way someone would be able to fight it."
"Of course, no one would be that foolish. Usually, people just grab their web on its nest while the spider is away."
"That makes sense..." I paused for a while and asked Kazuki a question regarding the special thread. "How long would I need to wait for you guys to get that restock then?"
"I am not sure because-"
Kazuki was interrupted by her big sister as Matsuri suddenly entered our conversation.
"That special thread would not be available at all... As it's quite pricey and there's no way we could get that kind of stuff. Besides, I doubt that we would be able to negotiate the price as it would be immediately bought up by a different clothing shop. So-"
*Tuk*
The door of the shop suddenly opened up, it was the person that I was waiting for all of this time. Finally, Elina had finished helping that little boy from earlier. Surely that took quite a long time... as it's already been around 30 minutes since I entered this shop.
"Yei! Sorry I am late... I had to do a lot-"
Before Elina could say anything further, Matsuri suddenly reached out to Elina and hugged her tightly. Seeing that action, I realized that both of them must have known each other already.
'No wonder Elina recommended this place to me... despite it looking very worn down.'
"Elina! Welcome back! Are you here to buy clothes or you wanted to hang out with me."
"Matsuri... you're as lively as ever. I am not here to buy anything today... I am here to see whether my friend Yei has finished her business here."
Matsuri then looks at me with a rather confused face. "Is that girl really your friend Elina?"
"Yup, Yei is one of my friends..." Elina said that with a smile on her face.
Kazuki then said, "I see, no wonder your friend here walks into this shop. As I don't think that customer would even dare to set foot in this place... looking how old this shop was."
"The shop is not that old Kazuki, it's still in great shape..." Elina said.
"There's no need to make up such stuff Elina, it's pretty obvious already," Kazuki said.
"Hey! Don't ignore me please.." Matsuri said that all of a sudden.
Yet Matsuri doesn't get that attention as Kazuki then explains the situation... about how she wouldn't be able to take up my request because there's no Special Thread in stock at the moment.
After knowing all of that, Elina then asks Kazuki a question. "Wouldn't you be able to go there and collect the web yourself Kazuki, surely-"
"Well we could make the thread on our own but going there would be too risky... I am not at a level where I could handle any monsters yet. As that place was crawling with the dangerous monster." Kazuki said that.
"Oh I see, I guess-" Elina's facial expression changed as if she had thought of something right now. "How about bringing Yei with you... I am sure that way you would be able to get that web and make it out alive as well."
Wait!? Am I hearing things right... Does Elina try to make me involved in this matter without even asking about my opinion first?
"Elina-" I was cut off by Kazuki.
"That would just make it worse... I can't protect your friend at all, for sure that both of us will die there." Kazuki said that.
"No, you got it wrong. Yei was the one that was supposed to protect you Kazuki. With her strength, you would not have to worry about the monsters at all as long as you stick with Yei."
Kazuki was rather confused when she heard what Elina had said. I know for certain that Kazuki also does have the same thought as the other people too. She simply said that I'm strong so that I wouldn't leave the shop...
