"we are back"
I and Alna were quite close to each other and when they both arrived we instinctively backed down.
I hope they won't misunderstand. I have finished explaining her what she exactly has to do so now I just have to wait.
"Were you two kissing each other? I wanna kiss shield hero TOOO!" Rifana said.
"We weren't." I and Alna said in unison.
"Anyway, have you done what I told you?" I asked
"Yeah we did, but I don't think you would be interested in knowing what we ate. If next time shield hero has to do something like this then you just tell us directly, we will go out." Rifana said with an impish smile.
Raphtalia wasn't saying anything, maybe she's not accused of talking with strangers. And right now, I'm a stranger to her.
In my previous life raphtalia told me that Rifana was more mature and girly than her. Come to think of it, she was right.
"I already told you that we weren't doing that. But yeah, if you're that interested in love, I can help you find yours." Alna winked at them.
"They're too small for those things. The thing they should learn right now is how to survive in this world." I said
"mr shield hero is right, I don't want to see someone close to me die again." Raphtalia said with a sad expression.
She's really adorable, I want to hug her. Maybe because she's raphtalia.
Okay then.
"Raphtalia, Rifana. Come with me, we're going to buy weapons and clothes for you."
"I want clothes too!" Alna said, like a child
"Alright alright."
AT THE WEAPON SHOP:~
I put Raphtalia and Rifana on the counter.
"Show me some cheap weapons for these two."
Erhard looked at me strangely and then started looking for something in a box. After a while he came with some weapons.
"Hey kid, can you take them off the counter?" he said
I took them off from there and Erhard gave some weapons to Raphtalia and Rifana to check.
Meanwhile we also bought some consumables and then I asked Erhard to show me some clothes.
"What do you think of me kid?"
"I want clothes having a lot of durability at a low cost. I don't think there would be a better place for that than your shop."
He showed us some clothes.
"These four." I said
"At least ask them what they want to buy." Alna said
"Their lives are much more important than what they want to wear. When they both become mature, I'll let them wear clothes of their own choice." I said
"You are much smarter than the other heroes, kid."
"Do you really think you can compare me with the other heroes?"
"Oh no, absolutely not. Hahaha"
Raphtalia's chose a dagger but none of the weapons were suiting Rifana.
"Rifana, what do you think. Which weapon do you want to use?" I asked her
She came near me and said, "Mr. Shield Hero, can I try a bow once?"
"Oh sure. Erhard, show me a cheap bow."
He brought 5 bows. After checking the bows, I picked one and gave it to Rifana.
"Check it."
"I don't need to check it, if you chose it for me, than it'll have to suit my preference." Rifana said confidently.
"Alright."
I asked for the total price and reduced it to some extent, but when I searched for my money bag to give the money
"What happened, Naofumi?"
"One of my money bags are missing, Maybe I got careless. Don't worry, there wasn't much in it anyway."
I took out the money bag and paid with it.
"Do you think someone might have stolen it?"
"No, this is the result of my carelessness, I should've been careful. Hey Alna, you keep this second money bag of mine. All my money is in it, if it gets lost I will be in trouble."
"Alright but... are you sure?"
"Of course. You're the person I trust the most."
I gave my money bag to her. I think she knows why I gave it to her.
