Shadow Ruler Chapter 7 Part 1 (Patreon)

About Petunia and the Sage

After leaving the church, we came to buy the bags we would need for the upcoming trip.

The first reason we decided to buy a bag was because we heard the priest's grandfather's prophecy? The reason why we decided to buy the first bag was because we heard the priest's recommendation.

At the entrance, there was a man standing across the door who looked as strong as or maybe stronger than the gatekeeper who was there when we entered this town.

But I was able to enter normally without talking to him.

Lily-san told me that if I made any suspicious movements, she would immediately talk to me about what I was doing.

If they were up to something, we would tell them what they were up to. Intuition? If they are up to something, they know what they are up to and catch them right away.

That's wonderful.

But Dan-san and the others said that they don't smile, they look scared, and they keep giving off a very scary vibe, but they smile all the time, you know?

And they look so happy and wave to me.

Well, when I turned around and gave them a wave, they were making little clenched fists and their faces were red, and they looked so happy, right?

I'm not scared at all.

"Oh... The Freesia-Chan effect... I can't believe it's affecting me this much... "

(?)

"Don't worry about it~"

It was like Lily-san had figured out what was going on, but she brushed it off.

I go inside without worrying.

Once inside, I found a variety of bags.

There were bags with different lengths of strings, bags without strings, bags of different sizes, and so on.

There are three floors here, and each floor is divided by price.

The lowest floor is the cheapest, with prices starting at around 5 silver coins, the second floor is for 1 or more gold coins, and the third floor is for 10 or more gold coins.

So, we go up to the second floor.

We have many silver coins, so we don't use gold coins unless it's for something like this.

Carna also said that they want to put more effort into armor and other things, but first, they would like to make the tools they carry as light as possible, so they can't put too much money in their containers. He said it's no good if you don't.

"Freesia-chan, most of the things in this level can be bought with the money you have on hand, so you can look around as you like."

I glanced at Carna, and she said I could do as I please, so I move as I please.

I'm thrilled and excited about the first experience of being able to look around as I please at my own will.

Shasty is running alongside me, but Carna is watching over me from a little distance.

There are many different types of backpacks: some you can carry on your back, some you can hang from your waist, and some you can wrap around your waist.

I thought they were just separated by price, but some of them were mixed up and put in one box.

Carna told me that the things are made by people, and depending on who made them or how great they are, they may look the same but have different prices, and that's why they are neatly arranged or not.

But why?

I'm genuinely interested in that jumbled arrangement.

And since I was told that I could move around as I liked, I went there as I liked.

Everyone said, "What's that? I don't care.

And then we arrived.

The big box was so big that Lily-san and I could fit in it together.

There are so many of them lined up.

There are bags of various shapes in one box.

Among them, one bag caught my eye. One of the bags caught my eye.

Among all the bags lined up, not a single one is the same.

It's wonderful.

It seems to be the hobby of the person who made it, but maybe he/she didn't want it to be the same shape as other people's?

I would like to take it out of the box and take a closer look.

I'd like to take it out of the box and take a closer look at it. I tried to take it, but it was just a little bit too tall.

-Zurizuri-

The bag-san approached me by himself.

He was so kind.

Thanks to that, I was able to take it off easily.

Nn~

This bag has a nice touch.

It is Squishy, Squishy, Squishy.

And it's a beautiful green color, though it's transparent, and you can kind of see through to the other side.

But the green is blackish, but I think it's a beautiful balance.

I like this color.

Um... I think you said it's not blackish, it's darker, right?

I mean very dark.

Squishy, Squishy,

I'm going to pull it out just a little bit.

Myooooooon!

It stretches.

How do you put the tool in?

I stick my finger in.

It went in.

Is it a little cool?

I thought it was cool, but it was just right.

I thought, "It was the right amount of warmth".

If I use it as a pillow, I will be able to sleep comfortably.

Do you carry it around manually or put it on your head?

Do I put it on my head?

I'm going to put it on my head.

Oh?

It is more stable than I thought.

I tried jumping around a bit, but it didn't come off my head, and it didn't fall off even when I tilted my head.

And it's very light.

This is nice.

I'm still not sure if it will hold my stuff, but it's cute, so let's buy this one.

I don't see a price on it, but I wonder how much it costs.

Let's ask Carna.

So, I asked Carna how much it costs. I showed Carna how much it costs and nodded my head.

"Where did you get this from?

She was surprised.

Why?

This is a bag, isn't it?

"No, no, no, no, no, no! That is not a Bag!! That's a demon!!"

Carna said that her mother said it was a "Slime"? I wonder what he was talking about?

"Freesia-chan, throw it away!"

What?

Why?

If they were going to attack me, I'd have been attacked by now.

I've been Squishy, Squishy, Squishy with it for a while now.

And to show that I was okay, I stretched out my hands.

I mean, you are still alive, right?

Oh, okay.
