Ryuji: hey Isn't that?

Naofumi slammed the table and glared at Erhard.

Naofumi: *furious* NO WAY IN HELL!! I refuse to wear that thing...

Raphtalia and I were confused about why Naofumi suddenly got angry.

Erhard seemed to realize why Naofumi got pissed and sighed.

Erhard: okay, okay. quit glaring at me I'm sorry that I brought it up. As an apology why don't I whip up something made-to-order, out of something special

Raphtalia: something special!?

Erhard: if you want I could use whatever I got on hand and finish by tomorrow

Raphtalia got very excited and held Erhard's hand.

Raphtalia: please do!

Ryuji: on the topic of made-to-order gear, do you think you could make me some as well?

I then brought out a bunch of materials.

Ryuji: not just armor but weapons too. preferably out of some of these things

Erhard picked up a large tusk and examined it.

Erhard: I've never seen these materials before

Ryuji: if you give us a discount you can keep the leftovers for future works

Erhard: *grin* you got yourself a deal. I'm actually getting excited to work with new materials

Ryuji: thanks a lot

We then bought Raphtalia new gear and headed out.

With our business with Erhard over we went to a restaurant to eat dinner.

Raphtalia: that was so sweet for him to help us like that

Naofumi: I'm not convinced

Ryuji: someone sure is extra grumpy today

Raphtalia: *giggle*

After entering we each sat down and placed an order with Naofumi ordering a kid's meal for Raphtalia for some reason.

When our food arrived Raphtalia looked at her meal in glee.

It took Raphtalia a moment before realizing what was going on and got embarrassed.

Raphtalia: master Naofumi!!

Naofumi: what's wrong?

Raphtalia: I'm not a little kid anymore

Naofumi: you don't need to force yourself to act mature. besides deep down you want to eat it right?

Raphtalia: *embarrassed* I-I'm not forcing it!

Ryuji: if you're not forcing it then why not suck it up for now and order yours first before Naofumi can next time

Raphtalia: *pout* right
