The older sister takes my card and after a short while the red card turns white. When I touch the card once again, it instantly returns to white. Seems like an amazing mechanism. I wonder how it works.

[That ends the registration. The tasks are posted on that board over there. After you check that place, please apply at the reception desk.]

The three of us stand in front of the tasks posted on the board. Our guild cards are black, showing that we're beginners. The color seems to change if you rise in rank, but for now it means that we can only accept the red colored beginner tasks.

Jenna and Jack seem to be pondering while examining each task one at a time and as for me.....

[T-This is bad....if I don't do something about this language problem....]

It's out of the question if I don't know the contents of the tasks. Alright, I'll start studying the language at night.

[ūçø,ūçø, What about this one? The reward is decent, isn't this good for starters?]

[Umm, It's not bad I think. William, what do you think?]

[...Sorry, I don't know what's written at all and even I can't write.]

In high spirits. Jenna glances at a certain poster and without any strength, turns the board to face her. Damn.

[...Let's see, west forest demon monster beast subjugation. Ten demon beasts called horned rabbit. They aren't that strong...I think we should be able to manage. Ah, the reward is 20 copper.]

For me who can't read, Jack reads the task description with difficulty. 20 copper...if we split that between the three of us is six copper each and the 2 copper coin we dicide after the subjugation. That's enough for three days at the inn. Not bad.

[Then shall we do that request?]

[Okay, then I'll apply at the reception desk.]

Jack tears off the poster of the task and moves towards the reception desk to apply. Horned rabbit, is it? According to the name, it seems to be a rabbit with a horn growing from the head. I feel a little worried if I can really defeat them.

[Ah......I forgot something important.]

[What's wrong William?]

Jenna asks me with a surprised look.

[I forgot....I...don't have a weapon yet.]

Weapons aren't included in the request either. Going unarmed is not even worth considering. Therefore after we leave the guild, we head for the weapon shop.

When I walk on the street named sword and shield towards the east, we saw the usual recognizable signboard logo. And as usual, I can't read the store name under the logo. When I open the door of the entrance. a small bell attached to the door makes a sound. In reaction to that sound, a middle aged man with a white beard shows up slowly from the interior of the shop. A muscle head.

[Hoho, a kid?...Welcome. What are you looking for?]

It appears that the bearlike uncle is the shopkeeper. But, tall! He's at least no shorter than three meters. His body is like that of a body builder.

[We were thinking of buying a weapon suitable for this person. Can we take a look around the shop?]

[Go ahead. Pick them up and take a closer look.]

The Builder man answers Jenna question with a smile. What a nice bo~...er, rather, what a nice person.

Weapons are displayed everywhere when I take a look around the shop. There's a lot of variety: swords to spears, bows, axes, whips, the various weapons are cramped and lined up.

[William, is there any weapon that you're good at?]

[Hmm~there's not particularly any worth mentioning.... but if I had to say I've been taught the sword for a while.]

I reply to Jenna's question while thinking a little. You might say it's from sword class from school. Not that I was actually properly taught it either. It was something like the basics of swordplay, I'm roughly like an amateur.

[Then...I think a sword is good after all.... in William's case, instead of a contest of strength....I think he will have trouble in terms of speed, how about a one handed sword.]

Jack points to a corner where one-handed swords are lined up. On the wall, I pick up a sword together with the sheath with one hand. I grip the handle with the other. It's light. I think a little heavier would be better.

Suddenly, a sword hung on the wall caught my sight. No, rather than a sword...that's a Curtana!. A
a shortsword with a simple and bare blade center and a magnificently crafted round handguard. A belt like strap attached and a black sheath. Somewhat, when I look carefully, the swords is beautiful. Would it still be fair to call this a cortana?

[Hoho....what's wrong?]

[Ah---, this is a sword from outside country right. As expected, is the sword from your hometown on your mind?]

When they saw me gazing at the Cortana, Jenna and Jack call out to me. I see, so this is a sword from county of belden ?. Rather that's not even my hometown. It appears belden has parts largely common to earth. I'm becoming even more interested in belden hometown.

I take the cortana hung on the wall and slowly pull it out of the sheath. The beautiful pattern on the blade shines, very captivating to the eyes. The blade is thicker than I thought and the body of the sword is also heavier.

[How much is this?]

The bodybuilder man at the back of the shop hears my voice and sticks out his neck.

[Aah, that Cortana, is it? It's Five gold coins. However, that is hard to master which is why I don't recommend that product to beginners.]

[Five gold coins? It's expensive?]

[It's rarely in stock and the you pick the right swords that sword is symbol of mercy and is a numbers of users is a one person I know for a long time. So that sword is expensive.]

Although Jenna is pouting in displeasure, the bodybuilder says it calmly. I wonder if that's a reasonable price. I admit that it's worth at that much.

[I'll take it. Five gold coins, it is.]

I return the cortana back into the sheath, I take out five gold pieces from my pocket and place it on the counter.

[Thank you for your patronage. Then what will you do about protective gear?]

[We'll postpone it for now, I'll come again when I earn money.]

[Is that so. Please earn a lot with that cortana.]

After saying that, bodybuilder laughs heartily.

Although my shopping ended with this, Jenna is there with her greaves and Jack bought a silver wand. Their combat styles are Jack fights at the front as the vanguard and it seems Jenna uses magic as the rear guard.

We leave the weapon shop and head towards the second hand shop. Along the way, it was on my mind a little. I confirm that weapon shop earlier on the map.

[Weapon Shop white beard]

......The naming sense in this town is a little amusing.

In the second hand shop, I bought a small pouch, a water bottle, rations, a fish hook and strings, and, a knife, a magic tool box filled with convenient set of tools such as a match, medicinal herbs, and something like antidote grass. Because Jack and Jenna already had them, it was only me shopping here.

Okay, everything is prepared. Now, we depart for the west to demon forest to defeat horned rabbit.
