Welcome Trading Company was more than a general store. Its inventory ranged from sugar purchased from Wataru to enchanted clothing and even alchemical tools. Its reputation for versatility made William, the store's owner, confident he could meet Wataru's requests.
"Our store serves a wide variety of customers," William said with a polite smile. "We stock some items for alchemy and magic, though I'm curious—what specifically are you looking for?"
"Stella, you're the expert. Explain what you need," Wataru prompted.
"Yes, Master," Stella replied, her voice demure yet steady. "I require fine tools for crafting enchantments—engraving implements, to be precise—and a high-quality magic staff. I didn't want anything too extravagant, but Master insisted on getting something exceptional."
