"Ah!I'm here because I have a customer for you Uncle!"Willen shouted out brimming with excitement. "Hmm.. What type weapon are they looking for ?"The man who replied was a man who seemed to be a dwarf from his stature and neatly trimmed beard.
"Ah.. um.. I'm not too sure.."Willen answered.
"Hmm then let them check these weapons I made. "The man replied, placing his hand under his chin, With a nonchalant gesture, settling onto his wooden stool behind the counter while his other hand pointed to the weapons. Kian walked in looking a little alarmed and fearful but his eyes widened in awe towards the weapons in the weaponry, 'it seems like he's extremely fascination!" taking in the gleaming blades and intricate gadgets adorning each weapon.
I looked left and right I saw some unique ones but since I had a skill which could give me details I didn't have to get Kian to ask the blacksmith which one was the best!
I looked around...
[Stainless steel blade D-Rank]
[Caladbolg D+Rank]
[War-Bow E-Rank]
'hmm all these are alright for a beginner...but I need something thats a little higher ranked...'
Since I wanted the best for Kian of course we should find the most suitable and high ranking one!I thought
I looked around a bit more before I saw a few long swords 'hmm a long sword is said to be significantly easier to use and it's a good range weapon..'i looked at some of the ranking of the long swords,'no..no..not this one either..'
[Double-edged long sword C-Rank]
[Author's note:I actually didn't know what to name the sword]
'oh this one C-Rank!'
'lets check the stats!'

"Kian!that Long sword in the middle has not bad ranking and skills on it,it should be pretty good for you to use for now!"
Looking at it Kian went over,picking up the sword I was a little scared that he wouldn't be able to lift it but he lifted it with one hand even swinging it a bit,I looked at the price '3 Gold and 10 Silver coins'cost quite a lot but it's affordable...
Kian went over to the counter and placed the long sword on the wooden countertop he took out the pouch with coins before stuffing his hand into the pouch,"Kid since my nephew led you here as a friend..you don't have to pay for the 10 Silver coins."Medlen looked at Kian lazily.
Kian took out the 3 Gold coins and placed it on the counter
'Cling' the sounds of the coins hit the counter.
" T..Thank you.."
Kian took the long sword and placed the Scabbard by his left legs side.
"So now we should be going, although it would be better with more equipment like armour but since the task is E-Rank there shouldn't be any trouble!"Willen said in a cheerful manner.
"Now we should go back the way we came from and walk with the direction signs."Easton walked out saying.
Before walking out I saw a few small stones at the side,"Kian,those stones look quite pretty why not we get a pair!I really liked the designs of the stones,"Willen..I going to get another thing.."Kian said to Willen.
"Sure!me and Easton will be waiting outside!"
Kian slowly walked over to the stones on a wooden shelf,"w.why not this one."Kian held onto the black straps of the stones,both the stones were diamond shaped,one had shimmering gold color while the other was blood red.
"Sure!I quite like the ones you picked."
Kian walked over and paid the amount on the board stamped onto the wooden shelf,"ah these crystals are probably fake but the colors on them we're really vibrant,so I bought some and carve some shapes."Melden held the crystals before handling it over to Kian.
"This.. one's yours.."Kian said to me in a shy voice. 'such a cute kid!'I brushed my tail across his face.
The red crystal which was handled over to me was placed into the space storage while the one Kian had was placed on his neck.
[Author's note : I'm not sure if I wrote the lines properly hope you understand it. T-T]
"Okay let's go!"I nudged Kian who had been a small smile hurriedly walked out of the door.

"we have to get across a river filled with Cipactlis ."Easton spoke in a calm manner.
I stared at the river fill with crocodiles with fish tail with Kian,I could see his face filled with fear.
"No need to be scared!we just need to feed them some meat!while these Cipactlis eat we can cross the river!"Willen reassured Kian.
Easton took out a bag from the necklace hanging on his chest,I could smell the strong smell of raw meat in that bag.
"I've already prepared for any occasions similar to this."Easton held onto the bag which probably had raw meat,the Cipactlis seemed to have reacted when Easton brought the bag out.
Before the Cipactlis could walk onto land,Easton swiftly held his arm back with the bag in his hand then threw it to the furthest side of the river with great force.
"Splash!"the big bag filled with raw meat hit the water surface, the Cipactlis who were staring at Easton turned towards the bag and swam off at a high speed.
"Haha!this guy is always prepared for any occasions or danger that's why you don't have anything to worry about when he's here!"Willen grinned.
I could hear Easton's sigh beside him,"okay now we should hurry over before they finish the bag."Easton waved his hand signaling to follow him.
"Wait..I can build a bridge that way it'll be easier for us to cross."I said loudly so that both Easton and Willen could hear.
They look back the nodded,I jumped out from the hooded cowl.
I slithered my way over to the river before creating a small bridge with the skill earth manipulation,it was done quite quickly.
I hurriedly slithered back to Kian who picked me up and started cleaning the dirt from my body then placed me back under the his hooded cowl.
Easton and Willen already started to walk across the small bridge.
"Now we need to walk a bit longer."

'Finally! we're finally here!'
I looked at the fields of grass.
"Now we collect the herbs."Easton grabbed his necklace before a handful of bags appeared in his hands,"here."Easton handed a few bags over to Kian.
"Do you need me to show you which is the herb?"Easton asked
"Thank you but I can identify them."I said to Easton, Seeing me answer he nodded and walked off over to another part of the field.
I got off Kian again since I wanted to show him what the herb looked like,I slithered my way over to a nearby patch of grass and plucked what was supposedly the plant with my tail wrapping around it.
Slithering over to Kian "Kian!this is what the herb look like,since you didn't really get to see one I got one as an example!"
"Mn.Thank you."
Going over to the patch of grass,"Kian what do you want to do after we're done with this?"I was quite curious of what Kian might want to do,since, he doesn't really question anything I do.
"..."
I stared at him as he looked to the ground,"ah!since you don't really have anything you want to do right now,you can think later on!"I reassured him,"let's continue collecting!"I nervously said.
• • •
"We collected enough right?"I questioned,looking at me he nodded.
"Okay!let's reunit with Willen and Easton."I climbed up the hand that reached out to me,"yes."placing me on the shoulders.
• • •
After we reunited we returned back and handed the bags of herbs to the guild ,
"How many bags did you collect? "I inquired, "me and him collected 6 bags. ",before I could answer back someone did it before me"we collected 4 bags. "Kian answered.
"..."he finally talked normally to someone!
Seeing Kian finally able to talk normally to somebody, I happily waved my tail around.
"We were supposed to leave today to another continent but since it seemed like you guys needed some help I wanted to provide some but were leaving now-
Here. Since me and Willen are nobles and hero candidate, this small plate will give you privileges, don't be mischievous or do any shenanigans with it since I'll know..then see you next time then..."he placed the plate onto Kian's palm before dragging Willen who waved his hand "bye-bye friends! see you next time!".
"We obtained quite a lot! one gold coin and thirty silver coins! "I shook my tail around.
"I think-"I was about to speak but was interrupted by a systematic voice "host, Nigh will process the amount of mana host has collected, since host wants to transform into a human, nigh has been collecting from the surrounding area. Nigh suggest that host have some mana left afterward, nigh has already collected enough but hopes that host will obtain more first then proceed with transformation. Nigh recommends host ask nigh to get a useful skill, only an extra skills can be chosen. apologizing to host for being purposeless and-" I cut in "No need to say anymore ! I understood everything and ill go with your suggestions, don't say such stupid thoughts! "
"yes host."
"Who are you talking to...? "Kian asked quietly ,I hurriedly answered back "Oh! it's my skill! Don't worry about it!" Waving my hand. "Mn..okay then I'll walk back to the inn.." Since Kian didn't seemed to mind me talking to nothing... I turned back to thinking.
"What skill should I acquire?" I pondered, thinking of what is convenient. 'I desire something versatile, skills that provides everyday uses...? '
'right! Why not a skill that services like cleaning oneself...right! I should also have another that allows me to remember and able to preserve my memory.. Two skills then..'
'you can read my mind right?'
'of course host.'
'I keep forgetting...oh this means I really do need a perfect memory skill...' I grumbled.
"Host has obtain skill 'Rinse' and 'Memorization' Sacrificing 10% of mana. Hope that Host is happy with obtained skills."
"Kian! From now onwards there's no need for us to bath since I obtained a skill that's able to keep us clean!" I happily wiggled my tail since it benefited both me and Kian.
"that's convenient."
"right! That's why I got it!"
'Okay Nigh! thank you for your services!'
'Nigh is happy if host is happy.'

"hmm...are you already ready to go out?"
"yes."
