Another World Warrior Who Uses a Shop

chapter 18



Nostalgic scenery

Shosanna spoke calmly at first, but then explained with excitement, like when she was talking to Hackman again. Still, he didn’t say how many people he killed or how his life was in danger. If it did, Mary would indeed burst into tears.

“I’m glad you’re safe. I haven’t liked the idea of you doing adventure work ever since you ran away from home. Why don’t you quit now and take your parents’ job? If you really don’t like it, I’ll tell him and get you a job with the company.”

Shosanna seemed a little displeased, but she pursed her lips and spoke softly, as if she were careful what she said to Maria.

“I will think about it.”

Maria laughed a little at that answer and turned to Hyeon-jun and said.

“I’m sorry we kept talking to each other. Wasn’t the reception of the guests a mess?”

“no. it’s okay. They looked harmonious, so it was fun just to look at them.”

The sight of Shosanna talking excitedly, not empty words, and Maria smiling benevolently and reciprocating, somehow made me feel better just by looking at it.

“Jun, if you don’t mind, would you like to visit the market with Shosanna? There are quite a lot of things to see in the village next to the river.”

“I still wanted to look around.”

Maria smiled softly at Hyeon-jun and looked at Shosanna.

“Shosanna, guide Jun. I must prepare dinner. Come back before sunset.”

“all right.”

Shosanna took off her Gambison and weapons and wore only casual clothes, but Hyeon-jun took his sword and shield. I want to take this opportunity to sell everything and buy a longsword. And I packed up the equipment I got from the gangsters and left the house.

“Let’s sell these first.”

“uh. Follow me.”

Shosanna moved without hesitation and guided Hyeon-jun to the forge. It is a chaotic place with everything from farm tools and pots to weapons and armor placed in disorder. As soon as I entered, the heat hit me.

“grandfather!”

Shosanna shouted as soon as she entered. Soon after, the door opened from the inside and a large old man walked out.

“What is it, Shosanna? I thought you were a guest.”

The old man spoke bluntly, but he seemed to be in a good mood.

“Oh, why is that?”

“It’s okay, Inum. What did you come for? Did you break the ax and eat it?”

“No, the ax is fine. I took more than a hundred shots of the goblin head alone, but it didn’t come out either.”

“You say the same thing a hundred times. Only the new boasting that I didn’t see has increased.”

“No, is it real? Hey, right?”

“Bitter, you probably killed less than a hundred of them yourself, right?”

“Oh really!”

In fact, he killed hundreds of goblins, but Hyeon-jun killed the most, followed by Yeti. Shosanna and Barnes were also killed a lot, but they were often blocked with shields, so they couldn’t kill a hundred.

“So what happened? What is that guy?”

The old man glared at Hyeon-jun fiercely. If you say one word wrong, you will be hit in the head with a hammer.

“I’m Jun, my fellow adventurer.”

“Hello, old man.”

“Hmm… okay. nice to meet.”

The old man’s spirits subsided a little. Isn’t that just like a man brought by his granddaughter?

“Is that your grandfather?”

“okay. Shosanna is a widow.”

“no. But I’ve seen him often since I was little, so he’s like my real grandfather.”

The old man seemed shocked when Shosanna denied it with a single knife, but looked at Shosanna fondly, perhaps moved by what he said.

‘Is this guy the mascot of this town?’

Considering the reactions of Hackman, Maria, and the old man, it seems to be popular with the elderly for some reason.

“So Grandpa. I’m trying to sell you something, is that okay?”

“Okay, let’s see.”

A gentle smile on her face would give her granddaughter some pocket money. Hyeonjun took out the weapons from the bag and put them down. I also put the one-handed sword hanging from my waist and the shield that came from my back.

“What, are you going to change now?”

“uh. You should change it when you have time.”

Meanwhile, the old man was examining the weapons carefully. To be honest, Hyunjoon didn’t expect much. The one that Hyeon-jun was managing is also not in very good condition, but what about the one used by gangsters?

“I can only pay you the price of iron. I’m in bad shape. Not a good railroad there.”

“hahahahaha, if you try to take more in that state, you’re a thief.”

The old man nodded at Hyeonjun’s words, thought for a moment, and then said.

“33 fairy tales.”

“great.”

Hyunjoon readily accepted. That also hit a lot. It must be thanks to Shosanna. Then Shosanna interrupted and said:

“First, choose a knife.”

“You have to share your share.”

“Choose one.”

“What is it, okay?”

Hyeon-joon said to the old man that he had no choice but to push Shosanna strangely.

“I want to see some longswords.”

“Longsword?”

The old man looked Hyun-joon up and down. If it’s a combination of a sword and a shield, I don’t know, but I can’t handle a long sword if I don’t learn it properly. However, it seemed that the adventurer was looking for a longsword.

“Do you know how to wield a longsword?”

“yes. I learned something before.”

At the old man’s words, Hyeonjun said calmly. Then I opened a shop and bought a Longsword 1. Knowledge flows into your head.

“what? But why did you use a one-handed sword?”

“The first place I stopped by didn’t have a longsword, so I just picked up the cheapest one.”

The first time Hyeonjun touched a longsword was when he held the longsword left by a farmer who had run away from the first battle. If Barnes had been there, he wouldn’t have been able to say this, but Shosanna didn’t know, so she could pass it off as a lie.

“Hmm… This way.”

The old man looked at Hyeon-jun as if he was suspicious and guided him to one side. All kinds of weapons are hanging on the wall. Hyeonjun selected only the longsword among them and looked at it. Longswords are collectively referred to as longswords, but all longswords handled with both hands are longswords. Hyunjun can now handle anything from a light bastard sword that can be handled with one hand to a true two-hander the size of his height. No matter how much I thought about it, it was the amount of knowledge that this shop was so clumsy that it was all tied up with a long sword.

Hyeonjun excluded swords that were too long and thick. I don’t know if you’re fighting with a perfect armor and formation, but there’s no choice but to have a big gap with such a heavy long weapon. Also, swords that were too thin or short were excluded. If you’re going to use something like that, it’s better to have a shield.

Hyeonjun carefully inspected the longswords of appropriate length. I looked at it and excluded the sword that narrowed too sharply as the blade went to the tip. I wouldn’t fight against a knight in full plate armor, so there was no need for a sword like that.

In the end, only longswords with a length of 1.2m to 1.3m and a wide blade were nominated. Hyeonjun looked back at the old man and said.

“Is it okay if I swing it once?”

“okay. If you break something instead, pay for it.”

“yes.”

Hyeonjun took out the three longswords that were nominated and stood in the wide space inside the forge holding one of them. I gripped the grip with both hands, shook it slightly to feel the weight and length, and then lowered it at once.

Hiss!

Unlike when he first grabbed the longsword, he hesitated in embarrassment at its length, the sword stopped exactly where he wanted it. Hyeon-jun surrendered to the knowledge in his head.

Cut horizontally from the top, step forward with your left foot at once and cut with the back blade. He pulls his left foot back, cuts it down, and stabs it at once. All movements are smooth and connected like a flash war. The four attacks took less than two seconds.

“Wow…”

Leaving behind Shosanna’s admiration, Hyeon-jun grabbed another sword. The length of the black handle I wielded now is a bit long. If you hold it right, the distance between your hands is too wide, and if you hold it comfortably, it feels uncomfortable because the permal keeps getting stuck on your wrist. It feels a little light there. This is because the puller on the blade greatly reduced the weight. It’s a perfect weight for a general test, but it felt a little light to Hyun-jun, who has strengthened all his physical abilities through physical strengthening. I know that there is no problem in killing enemies, but I feel like my killing power is lacking for some reason.

The second sword was of just the right length and weight, and had a very nice hilt. The third time I put it down without even swinging it, because the moment I squeezed the grip I could tell it didn’t fit in his hand.

“I will do this.”

Hyeonjun said while choosing the second sword. The old man looked at Hyeon-jun with a slightly surprised face. It was all a brief swing, but it was definitely a swordsmanship. Normal soldiers don’t know how to handle two-handed swords because they wear shields. Longsword swordsmanship is not well known to the common people, even for soldiers who do not carry a shield, since most of them wield long weapons such as long spears or halberds. Retired soldiers sometimes teach swordsmanship for money, but of course they use swords and shields and do not teach longsword swordsmanship.

Dogs and cows use longswords to catch up, but longsword swordsmanship belongs to knights and nobles who wear strong armor. It is not something to be seen as an adventurer. In other words, it is Hyeon-jun’s mistake of throwing away his shield without armor. He only knew swordsmanship, but his brain was dominated by Gao.

In fact, it has a great effect on strengthening the mind. It is Hyeon-jun, who was put under tremendous stress and in an extreme situation. As these things were suddenly relieved by the power of mental enhancement, I did as I pleased with a great sense of liberation and stability. It had only been many years since his father died, and he lost control in an instant.

“Keuheum, just give me 45 fairy tales.”

He said, organizing his complexion with the power of his years of experience. Seeing Shosanna, I sang a little cheaply.

“grandfather.”

“huh?”

At Shosanna’s question, the old man smiled softly and looked at Shosanna. Shosanna held out a silver coin.

“Here you go.”

“What is this?”

“I’ll give you the remaining 12 of the 33 fairy tales.”

“No, dear. If you have your share. And why do you pay for it?”

“I owe Jun my life twice. This is cheap.”

At those words, the old man glanced back at Hyeon-joon. Hyunjoon was equally flustered. It was because I didn’t know that Shosanna would keep her loyalty to this extent.

“Hey, I have money too.”

“Yes, you should get more, but you split it equally.”

“Ah, why are you like this?”

The old man who saw the scene took the silver coin from Shosanna. Then he told Hyunjoon.

“Just take it as a thank you. Because that side will be good for each other.”

Hyunjoon hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

“thanks.”

“what.”

Hyunjoon felt his heart tighten. It’s been over two months since I came here, but it’s the first time I’ve felt the favor. I can’t tell you how fortunate I am to be friends with a merchant like Shosanna. He even had the heart to introduce his sister to Shosanna. If you look at Sunae, who is handsome, has a good personality, is diligent, does housework well, has good abilities, and loves only one woman. Of course, he does not have a younger brother, and such a younger brother cannot exist in reality.

“Now, 88 fairy tales. Check it out.”

“no way. It was given to me by my grandfather, until I checked it.”

“Uh huh, but you have to make sure the money is flowing.”

As the old man scolded him, Shosanna grumbled and checked the money. After checking everything, I tied the sack tightly and tucked it inside my clothes.

“Shosanna. come often This old lady is bored.”

“all right. see you next time.”

Shosanna waved her hand and left the store. Hyeonjun greeted the old man politely. The old man nodded and said hello.

“Where do you sell the leftovers?”

“Follow me.”

Hyeon-jun followed Shosanna and learned how friendly she was with the street vendors here. Most of them looked friendly with the elderly, but they were all anxious to give Shosanna one more thing. It’s like watching a grandchild who came down on a holiday day.

“Isn’t this your hometown? Do the elders like you very much?”

“My hometown is the next village. It’s a plain village.”

“The name of the town was really rough.”

“Everything is like that. If you go to another territory, there is a plain village there too.”

“I’ll turn. But why do so many people know?”

“Ever since I was little, I used to hang out here and there with Mr. Hackman.”

Hyeon-jun asked Shosanna, thinking about it passing through his head.

“Hey, Chairman Hackman, do you have a son or daughter?”

“No, because Maria is weak…”

“Then, who is the heir to the upper house?”

“uh···. I don’t know? Haven’t you heard of it?”

Hyeon-jun secretly foretold the possibility that Hakman would pass on Sanghoe to Shosanna. Shosanna is quick to calculate and not cool-headed, but has a good personality, gets along well with everyone, and is loyal. And it’s not just that it’s dull. It’s the type of person that people gather around. If a competent person helps you, it will be difficult to achieve great success right away, but you will not go bankrupt. She’s a good co-worker, but she could also be a good boss.

‘This is just an assumption.’

Hyeonjun brushed aside his thoughts and followed Shosanna. Let’s rest for now. You don’t have to think about such complicated things.
