There is no particular reason for choosing Yongsan Mugu Shopping Center as a date destination.

“Tsk tsk! Hey, look at that shield. Doesn’t that look bigger than Elena’s?”

“I think you need to have some kind of super strength to be able to use it… .”

This is because the equipment displayed in numerous stores is a sight to behold in itself.

The fun is even more special for hunters who need to pay a lot of attention to their equipment.

You can find some fun just by showing equipment made of different shapes and materials, guessing its use, and considering its efficiency.

Moreover, Shin Yu-jeong is a person who is extremely sincere about her job as a hunter.

In other words, this can be said to be a customized dating course aimed only at her.

“no way… “That doesn’t seem to have much practical use.”

My mind is relieved for an hour.

It’s a course I chose with the guy in mind, but if you don’t like it, it’s a shame.

Seeing that they were so happy and chatting, I guess it wasn’t a bad choice.

By the time I got around to seeing about half of the buildings in Building D.

“Hey, didn’t you come here to buy equipment?”

“I was going to buy it if there was something I liked, but so far I haven’t found anything.”

“Hmm… “Are your eyes secretly high?”

“Hehe, really?”

I smiled awkwardly and accepted what he said.

It’s inevitable that your eyes are high.

Until just a few months ago, the equipment I used was either a masterpiece created by a master craftsman with all his efforts, or only the highest quality equipment found in a dungeon from time to time.

In a way, it was natural that the equipment in Building D could not attract my attention.

“Then let’s just go straight to Building C. “I don’t think you’ll be satisfied if you look back any further.”

“Okay, then.”

Leave Building D, which is reminiscent of Dottegi Market.

I was about to head straight to Building C, which wasn’t that far away, when I saw Yujeong’s eyes fixed on a certain spot.

I wanted to know something, so I checked and found that it was a street vendor selling food.

Chicken skewers covered in bright red sauce are sizzling on the fire.

The guy is swallowing his saliva when he sees that.

It looks like he really wants to eat it.

“Shall we watch while eating one chicken skewer each? “My mouth is a bit boring.”

“Oh, I guess so?”

The smiling expression is cute.

We went to a street vendor where our eyes had not moved since before and purchased chicken skewers, but the owner looked at us and smiled with a mischievous expression.

“You’re a handsome man and a fairy, you’re a handsome man and a fairy! “You’re out on a date?”

“Yes, it’s our first date.”

“Oh my! It’s a good time, it’s a good time There was a time like that with my husband too… , Ho Ho!”

“ha ha ha… .”

I was surprised again.

25 years ago, when I was in the midst of a passionate relationship with Han Joo-hee, there was nothing wrong with what I heard from the street vendor woman.

They say that luxury goods are things that do not change over time, and I guess that is the famous quote from the street vendor ladies.

“I added a chicken skewer for free! “I love you pretty!”

“Yes, thank you.”

I start walking again holding the chicken skewers piled up in tin foil in my hand.

Both of us have the appetite of big eaters, so we have to eat this much to satisfy our hunger.

I put a piece of chicken skewer in my mouth and entered Building C.

The salespeople welcome you in a much calmer atmosphere than in Building D.

The lower the grade the building is, the noisier it is, and the decibel level decreases as you move up to the higher grade.

This is because they all know that once you reach the point where equipment can be purchased in Buildings C and B, it will become rapidly more difficult to attract customers by soliciting them.

“If you want something, just take a look.”

At most, I can just take a stab at it when passing by.

“It’s much better here.”

“right.”

We check the equipment while having a heated discussion with each other in a calm atmosphere.

As if he were trying to choose my equipment, he was looking at light equipment that would be good for a wizard to wear and asking me what I thought.

Actually, I don’t really have any intention of buying my own equipment.

After chatting for a while, he pouted his lips.

“Hey, are you thinking about buying equipment?”

“Yes.”

“But why do you have such a sour expression on your face? “You don’t like what I chose that much?”

That’s because you picked the wrong number, you son of a bitch.

I smiled brightly and held his hand.

“Follow me for a moment.”

“Where are you going?”

“I’ll find out when I get there.”

The place we took the helpless boy to was a weapon shop, specifically a place that specialized in selling swords.

The name of the store is ‘Dragon’s Breath’.

A place where I used to buy equipment when I was very young and a C-level hunter.

I was surprised twice when I first saw this place.

Because of the fact that the store still exists and the quality of the equipment is no different from then.

“wow… “How long have you been here?”

Shin Yoo-jeong clicks her tongue after looking around the store.

Then, from the deepest part of the store, an unfamiliar voice answered his question.

“It’s been 30 years.”

The voice, full of coquettishness, evokes nostalgia.

Deep inside the store, a piece of wood… , No, a man with a thick, muscular body… , No, the old man walked out.

“… omg.”

Without realizing it, I let out a sigh in my voice.

Why does that spirit come out of there… ?

“Are you here to look at weapons?”

He suddenly comes to his senses at the old man’s question and nods his head.

“Oh, yes.”

“What kind do you want?”

“It’s a one-handed sword. “About 70 to 80 cm in length?”

The old man’s eyes turn to Shin Yu-jeong, who is standing with a puzzled expression.

“It doesn’t seem like the right length for you, and it looks like it’s something the lover next to you would use.”

Upon hearing those words, Shin Yu-jeong’s eyes widen and he points at himself with his finger.

“uh? me?”

I replaced her question with an answer to the old man.

“Yes, that’s right.”

“Hmm… , Are you going to see it in person, or will you choose it for me?”

“I’ll see for myself first.”

“… It’s a good choice. Then take your time and look around. “As long as you don’t damage the weapon, you can swing it as much as you want.”

“Thank you.”

It’s a very generous service.

If it were like any other store, all I would have done was touch it.

I was slowly looking around at the weapons hanging in the store, but Shin Yoo-jeong grabbed my arm and stopped me.

“Hey, what did you just say? “You came to see my weapon?”

“What are you talking about? “Literally.”

“So, why are you suddenly coming to see my weapon?”

“Because it’s time for a change.”

“what?”

The weapon Shin Yu-jeong is currently using is an ordinary short sword of approximately D rank.

The period of use is approximately… , I think it’s been about two years.

Although I have been using it well and taking good care of it, its lifespan is coming to an end.

If you look closely at the sword, you will start to see a lot of small missing teeth.

Rather than grinding all of them and using them, it is better to replace one at this point.

The sword is not only a means of harm, but it is also a means of protecting one’s life, so it should never be neglected.

After I finished explaining in detail, he looked at me with suspicious eyes.

“… Why do you know so much about weapons?”

“Yeah… .”

I can’t say that it’s because I was an S-class hunter who mainly used a sword… .

“This is my first time revealing it… “Actually, I’m a weapons fanatic.”

Let’s put on the image of a fan.

“… you?”

“Uh, me.”

I said I was like that, but what can I do?

“Every day, when I was stuck in the corner of my room, I browsed the internet looking for pictures of games or weapons.”

“… Ah, you were the one in the corner.”

I’ve changed so much that I think I’ve forgotten for a moment what kind of person I was in the past.

I take the quiet guy and slowly look around at the sword.

The current short sword is light in weight and is not suitable for his strength.

Light means fast, but it also means less force is applied to the attack.

“Hey… .”

When I look at the weapons, admiration comes out.

Among the weapons on display, none of them are of poor quality and are uniform.

Anyway, I guess so.

What kind of inspiration is that? I will make a defective product.

Now that I knew that the quality was uniform, I chose a suitable one and presented it to Shin Yu-jeong.

“Try holding this.”

“Uh, uh.”

A guy holding the handle of a sword with a confused expression.

“How do you feel?”

“uh… “I think it’s okay?”

It’s not bad in its current state.

The string currently wrapped around the handle is just a formality, so if you unwrap it and rewind it to fit his hand, the grip will be much better.

“Try swinging once.”

The guy stepped back and lightly swung his sword.

It seems that he likes the taste of swinging it, as the corners of his mouth slowly turn up every time the sharp sword blade cuts through the air.

“It’s good?”

“uh? uh… , this is okay… ? “It’s heavier than the one I’m using now, so it’ll taste better when I cut it, huh.”

“Then this time… .”

After that, I tried holding a few more swords.

But in the end, they say the first one is best.

So, holding Yujeong’s hand in one hand and the sword in the other, he headed to the counter.

“I’ll take this.”

“Hmm… , He’s a guy with a really good eye.”

The discernment that the old man speaks of does not necessarily mean the eye to select quality.

Anyway, the quality of weapons here is almost the same.

Here, discernment refers to the discernment to choose the weapon that best suits a person.

“It’s 850. “It looks like the weapon has found its owner, so we’ll provide free maintenance for the next two years.”

“8,850?”

Shin Yu-jeong’s eyes widen when she hears the price.

Unexpected price.

Actually, I didn’t expect it either.

“… “It’s cheaper than you think?”

It’s cheaper than I thought.

Building C is where equipment worth approximately 5 to 10 million won is displayed.

And the weapons here are a bit disappointing for being B-grade.

So, of course, I thought I would receive a full 10 million won… , it’s 1.5 million won cheaper.

But we can’t stop here.

“Would you please give me a scabbard as well?”

“Huh, I thought you just said you were cumming with your mouth.”

“It would be nice if it was cheaper.”

Then the old man laughed out loud.

“Whahaha! Yes, it’s better if it’s cheaper, Am.”

The old man, holding a sword in his hand, enters the workshop in the back, and soon comes holding a sword sheath.

The sword in its scabbard is packaged in a clunky box.

“Okay, take it.”

I took the box and immediately placed it in Yujeong’s arms.

Then the guy put one hand into his pocket, took out a card, and handed it to the old man.

I snatched the card from his trembling fingertips and returned it to the guy’s pocket.

“Uh, hey… !”

While he was frowning, I took out my card and handed it to the old man.

“Please do this.”

“You have a big boyfriend.”

“Hehe, is that so?”

That’s my sense of money.

Even if I can’t buy you a luxury bag worth several million won, I can buy you a sword worth 8.5 million won.

It’s okay if you don’t have the former, but it’s reassuring to have the latter.

“you you… ?”

The pupils of the guy holding the box containing the sword in his arms are shaking violently.

As I was handing over the card that had been paid for, the old man asked me.

“How did you find out about this store?”

“uh… , by recommendation?”

“Wow, it’s a recommendation. Someone’s?”

I smiled and answered what the old man said.

“The national hunter.”

“… “Is that so?”

“yes. So, I think we’ll see each other often in the future.”

“There is no reason to refuse if it says it will increase sales. “Please come as often as you like.”

“Okay, then that’s enough for today.”

I grab the hand of the guy who still doesn’t know what to do and leave the store.

I didn’t have anything else to buy anyway, so I just left the building.

Shin Yu-jeong’s face, hit by the cold air, moves little by little.

“Hey, what is this?”

Not in a very good way.

“Well, it’s a gift.”

“Who wants to buy you something like this?”

“I could buy it for you.”

I grab Yujeong’s shoulder, who is frowning heavily, and pull her in front of me.

Face to face at a very close distance and part your lips.

“Between us, we can do this much.”

In the future, we will become closer and do more things.

When the trembling of the pupils subsides and the boy’s cheeks turn a pretty pink color.

A translucent window suddenly appeared, separating the guy and me.

[Participant number 504?]

[now… , What are you doing here?]
