Chapter 59: The Phantom Thread, Arachne Tribe 4
Everyone was guided to the Arachne Village, where we went to replenish supplies.
-x-x-x-x-x-
We decided to take a stroll through the Arachne village to replenish our supplies. Piyo is happily climbing the elaborate bridge designed by the village people, as if it were a sports facility.
"Hey, don't go too far."
I thought there was no hope, but when I turned to the side, Sharin had disappeared from my side. I looked around frantically and saw her looking at the goods in a clothing store.
"What, do you like that outfit?"
All that was on display was a white long-sleeved shirt. However, it has a silky sheen and is soft to the touch.
"These could be clothes woven with Arachne threads... With just this piece, I could live and play for a week."
Sharin's eyes sparkle.
"Is it really that amazing?"
Sharin responded to my words in a quick and lively voice.
"They say that Arachne thread is a mystical thread, this is the first time I've seen a real product. It's also quite cheap! It's only three small gold coins, if you were to sell it in a city, you can get at least ten gold coins!"
As a small gold coin is worth about 10,000 yen, the profit would be considerable.
"Fufufu, you have a good eye, customer."
A shopkeeper suddenly appeared from the back of the store.
"Huh, no, I don't have any money right now, so I'll do it next time!"
Sharin takes a step back and waves her hands.
"Oh, what an unusual sight, sir. The forest around here is a bit scary, so not many people come close. But it's nice and quiet."
Indeed, the Arachnes passing by were staring at me with confused expressions.
"We are on a journey."
"Maybe an adventurer?"
"More of a traveler than an adventurer."
The shopkeeper seemed surprised when Pauline suddenly appeared next to me.
"Well, why is there a Honey Bee here? And only one? What a strange thing to happen."
We left the place after the shopkeeper showed us the way to the market where food was sold.
