Volume 8 Chapter 5 Part 9
I can only hope that the fact that I have paid so much to obtain Vesta is not going to cause me any problems or conflicts in the long run.
「It’s fine because it’s Master.」
Roxanne seem to support my idea, too. Looks like there won’t be any problems in that regard after all.
「Then, does Roxanne-san have one, too?」
「Yes, I have mine since quite a while ago, actually.」
Roxanne pulls the hem of her trousers up and shows her Sacrificial Misanga to Vesta. The Sacrificial Misanga is tied on her gorgeous foot. It’s making her ankle shine. Should I head to the bed with them both right now?
「Ok, wait here for a minute.」
「Okay. Umm, thank you very much.」
Vesta bows down to me again. The place where I am going is not the bedroom, but the storeroom at the back of the house. The item that I am looking for in there is the Iron Sword that I have placed there long ago and almost forgotten about it since I had pretty much no use for it. I take it out and bring it back with me to the living room where the girls were patiently waiting for me.
「For the time being, you can this sword. It might not be the best one out there, but it should be enough for you for now.」
When I return to the living room, I pass the Iron Sword to Vesta. There was a time when I was wearing this Iron Sword around on my waist when I was going to the Labyrinth, but after a while I stopped doing that altogether, so now is the perfect chance to give this sword a second chance at being useful for something.
If Vesta is going to use a two-handed sword, then it’s obvious that she is going to use the Steel Sword. But if I give Vesta the steel sword, that would mean that I would have to carry the Iron Sword for a time again, which would in turn mean that Vesta would be having a better equipment than me, her master.
Doing something like that would probably not be a good idea, since it might cause others to question my authority over her.
「Okay. Uhm…」
Vesta anxiously looks toward Roxanne, most likely because she was seeking her approval to take the Iron Sword from me, but personally I don’t see why she would have to do that, since I don’t have any problems with it. This Iron Sword is an entire tier below the Steel Sword when it comes to quality, so I’m not going to lose anything by giving it to her.
「It’s fine. Because it’s Master.」
It seems to be alright, exactly as it should be.
「Well then, shall we be on our way?」
We are going out shopping for some daily necessities for Vesta. Facing a wall in the living room, I cast 「Warp」. This is going to be the second time, so I hope Vesta won’t have any problems going through the portal.
Our first stop is going to be the Adventurers Guild.
「「Yes, master!」」
Roxanne and Vesta follow closely after me. It looks like Vesta is still a little surprised, but she is keeping quiet, at least. Good girl, that’s all that I want from you: to be on your best behavior and not to ask too many unnecessary questions.
「Where are we going now?」
「If we are not going to the Weapons Shop or the Armor Shop, then we should go to the grocery store first. I think it will be best to save the clothing store for last.」
After stepping out of the Adventurers Guild, Roxanne says that. So, leave the clothing store for last, you say? Well, if that is her way of suggesting that it will take long, then I guess we can do it the way she wants. Either way should be fine, I guess.
「If it’s about my clothes, then I already have them.」
「You may be right, but you will need a change of clothes as well.」
Vesta said that while looking hesitant, but I reject her suggestion.
「It’s fine, because it’s master.」
Roxanne’s way of persuading her sounds funny, but apparently it works, because Vesta is not saying anything else and simply follows after us.
Just like we agreed on, we’re going to the grocery store first. We look around for various items. Since we’re only shopping for small things right now, I think it’s okay to leave this matter to Roxanne.
「This backpack, is it small?」
「I think so, yeah.」
「Is that so?」
Regarding the backpack, it is the same, normal-sized backpack we are using, but when Vesta tried it on, it looked like it would snap at any moment. It definitely doesn’t fit someone as big as Vesta.
「How about a large one instead then?」
「Yes, I think that would be better.」
「I think so too as well.」
We pick a large backpack for Vesta instead of the small one. Since it is large, it should be able to hold more items. However, the burden of carrying it will also be that much greater. Forgive me for doing this, Vesta, but this is the case of the necessary evil. That said, it’s a perfect fit, and it looks good on Vesta’s shoulders. Sherry, on the other hand, looks like she’s always climbing a mountain when she’s carrying a large bag on her back.
「We’re going to be taking this.」
We purchase the backpack, a cup, a shukure branch, and various other items from the grocery store. We put everything we bought just now inside the backpack, and once everything is loaded inside, we let Vesta carry it.
「Excuse me, I would like to buy this.」
When I was paying for everything that we just bought, Roxanne hands something to the shop clerk as well.
「Did we forget to buy something?」
「No, this is something meant for me.」
「I see.」
I paid for all of our things, while Roxanne paid for the additional thing from her own money. It costs about one silver coin and it seems to be… a brush?
「This brush is a present from me.」
「Ahh, thank you very much, Roxanne!」
「I am glad I still had some money left. Today, I also bought something for Miria and Sherry as well.」
So the thing that Roxanne bough was a hair brush for Vesta? How very nice of her to be so considerate of the newest harem member. Roxanne shows it to Vesta for a brief moment, then puts it back in Vesta’s backpack.
We head to the clothing store next.
「Do you have any clothes that would fit this girl’s size?」
「Yes, I believe we do. This way, please.」
After I asked the shop clerk if they had anything that would suit Vesta, we were then led to the inner part of the shop. They seem to have clothes for her. Good.
「These ones right here?」
「Yes, the clothes that we have on display right here are the biggest ones that we have available. They might not look like it, but they will become fairly large when worn.」
「They will?」
「Yes, they will. Unfortinately, we don’t have many customers from the Dragonkin tribe, so we don’t have that much variety when it comes to the clothes that the members of that race could wear, so allow me to apologize for that.」
I don’t know how far this inner part of the shop extends, but there seems to be a fair number of clothes being stored here, and they still say that they don’t have that big of a selection when it comes to the members of the Dragonkin tribe? Is it similar to how even the Dwarven adults need to wear clothing designed for Human children because there is not that many clothes that would otherwise suit them?
The male slave from the Dragonkin tribe that I saw back at the auction was huge, too, so I guess all the members of the Dragonkin tribe must be quite tall.
「With these many clothes to choose from it’s not bad at all, so don’t worry, I think we’re going to find something that’s going to suit you just fine.」
Roxanne says while she steps forward.
Roxanne’s eyes seemed to flash when we heard there were not that many clothes that the members of the Dragonkin race can choose from, and if my hunch is correct then her switch was probably switched right at that very moment.
