Chapter 7 - Fashion king Zanac

"Welcome back, owner!" as expected he is the owner of this shop by what they said.

"So Mr Zanac you are the Owner...?"

"Ah, I run this store. But that's not important right now, let's get you changed! Somebody pick out new clothes for this boy!" Zanac whisked me off into a changing room, which was an actual small room with a door, not just a box with a curtain dividing it off. Neat.

After that, he rushed back in with a pile of clothes. I removed my jacket and shirt so I could begin getting changed. I was wearing a simple black T-shirt underneath, and it seemed to have caught Zanac's eye as well.

"M-Might I press you to sell me those undergarments as well...?!" This scoundrel! Ishe a pervert or what?

In the end, I was made to sell every last thread off my back. Everything including my socks, shoes even my boxer briefs.

By the time my underpants were added to his list of demands, I had become quite tired of the ordeal. I understood how he felt, I just wish he could've understood how I felt...

The clothes and shoes he'd prepared for me in return were comfy and easy to wear.

I certainly had no complaints about them. Black pants and a white shirt, with a black jacket over the top. A chic outfit that also wasn't too showy. I liked it. It kept me from standing out.

"Now, how much are you selling me your clothes for? I'll spare no expense, of course, but did you have a particular charge in mind?"

"Well... I'm afraid I don't really have a good estimate in mind. This isn't my field of expertise, you see. I can only assume they'd be expensive, but... To be completely honest, those clothes were bought by my father for my journey and I lost my travelling expenses on the way so I'm penniless right now." well I told some truth mix with some lies forgive me I don't have a choice.

"I see...That is rather sad to hear and I also understand why you agree to sell your clothes in the first place. Well then, how does ten gold pieces sound?" Zanac offered.

Without any knowledge of the currency in this world, I had no way to judge the worth of ten gold pieces. As such, I accepted.

"Sounds good." Soma.

"Wonderful! Well, here you are," Zanac replied, clearly pleased hearing my answer.

Ten gold pieces jingled into the palm of my hand. Each one was about as big as a 500 yen coin, and had engravings of something resembling a lion. It was my entire life savings. Something I had to spend wisely.

"By the way, you wouldn't know where I could find someplace like an inn, would you? I'd like to find a place to rest my head before the sun goes down and also this town's adventures guild to register myself here." I simply asked him as I don't know anybody here and after hours of contact I can say we are Aquantance at least.

"An inn, yes? Turn right as you go out onto the street, then follow the road. You should see a sign for the Silver Moon Inn, won't be hard to find. As for Adventures Guild, you have to the centre of the town then ask someone." Zamac simply tell me the directions.

Well, I don't have any kind of map or something so I have to keep asking around on my way.

"Got it, thanks. I'll be on my way then." I said my goodbyes to Zanac.

"Very well. If you come across any other unusual garments, please bring them my way." Well what can I say, he is a businessman after all.

I said my goodbyes to Zanac and left the shop. The sun was still high in the sky.

Before heading towards the Inn I decided to head towards the Adventures guild.

After coming to the crossroads I asked the people standing the. They told me to walk straight and turn right then after crosssing the plaza it would be adventuters guild.

Being a town in another world, everything was unusual and fascinating. My wandering gaze made some people regard me with suspicion, and whenever I grew aware of that fact, it caused my gaze to wander even more. That was no good.

One thing that I did notice about the people in town was how many of them were carrying weapons around. Some had swords or axes, others had knives, and a few were even carrying whips.

I figured that was just how it was in this world. I made note to consider buying a weapon of my own because, if gramps know what I did, there will be another beating waiting for me

Well me carrying gramps's katana wouldn't pose any problem then but It struck me as somewhat dangerous as even though I was carrying weapon, I have zero proficiency in it but other people they are proficient.
