Chapter 3: Chapter 3 : an equipment and an old friend
As soon we get to the blacksmith she's still laughing at me.... And then I punch her right arm as a response to her laughing she then stopped and agreed to not laugh again... For awhile until she finds anything funny again.
"So this is the blacksmith huh? Quite.... The standard stuff for a place to do it"
"What you think it would have a some advance machinery and or something like magic that can do it all by itself?" She said that while doing questionable movement
And yeah it is just a normal fantasy world.... not that I complained about, we entered the blacksmith shop then an old man greeted us, he is wearing the usual blacksmith equipment and all nothing to fancy and he looked polite.
"Welcome welcome nice to see young ladies like you two come in to this place of mine, so what's bring you here? Upgrade? Selling ore? Or a little shopping spree?"
"Okay okay enough sell out gramps my friend here wanted to give you one of those starter coupon"
"Oh a starter adventurer you say little Cyndy hehehe right this way"
"Cyndy?"
"Yeah this old man really know a lot of nickname and mine is Cyndy given by him"
Walking to the hall of the blacksmith shop area that call "starter journey"... Neat another one of those tutorial in a game I used to play but here... I'm a brawler... Heck....
As soon we get to the brawler section... There's a lot of gauntlet there like it's almost Dusty since rarely people become a brawler like me.
"Soo.. mostly it's just gauntlet for me huh?" Saying that while scratching my head
"Well yes but you can get a few light armor for example at your torso to be fast and agile, or you can full out armor so you won't take any damage like you focus on solely defense just not to take any damage, but looked at me I wear little to no armor and yet not dead a single time" as she flexing herself while spinning around and showing me that she wears literally no armor except for elbow pads and some knee pad
"Mhmmm less armor make you more agile suited for fast attacking brawler, but if you're not confidence enough you could go full defense and not take any damage" the blacksmith said while showing a couple good armor for fast and agile movement and full out armor
I think about it for awhile and still sight seeing the armor, and then I decided to pick the fast and agile one since in my past life there are many martial arts that doesn't involve any armor so I just replicated it and I'm going to be the number one adventurer in this new world hehehehe...
"Hello.... Cynthia to Erika I'm about to land on your massive forehead if you don't call me back" as she said that she took a few of my bang hair Infront just to avoid me being daydreaming.
I slapped her hand and gave the blacksmith on what I picked he nodded and give me the fast and agile set one it really suit me even though he barely measure my size.
We get out of the blacksmith shop feeling about to do something better.
"Wow I'm feeling.... Nothing... Does this happen to you too Cynthia when you're first to be a adventurer?"
"Yeah why?"
"Asking...."
As I twirling around feeling absolutely nothing... Like my stat didn't change... Wait is there even a statistics in this world, as I tried to "open it" using my adventurer ID card it's nothing, Cynthia observing me like I'm a crazy girl just so happened to be another Adventurer with her
"So what now?" Asking the real question here Erika just see her as a good friend you can do it.
"Let's hunt some slime"
"No"
She confused on why am I refuse after asking her what to do.
"You asked me I answered so let's go slime hunting"
NOOOOOOO I HATE SLIME
"can't we do another thing?"
"Nope" Cynthia walking toward a Forrest confidently and waving her hand making sure I follow her
I sigh and continue to go with her unknowingly to kill a disgusting and slimy and more disgusting..... Oh my gosh... It's... CUTEEEE
I rushed out to one of the baby slime and pat it wobble by my patting and releasing some cute noise
"Oi what are you doing to it Erika? It's dangerous" she trying taking my hand off the baby slime
"You know it can be dangerous since if there's a baby slime there's-"
Before he could finished a big BIG slime jump Infront of us making me fall to the ground, scared about the potential of being eaten and much worse dissolve by it I almost fainting before a surge of light kill it making a mess around the Forrest.
"Phew I was thinking about going to kill it myself... Is that one of your secret awesome power Erika?" She looked at me with a sparkling eyes
"No.... I can't do magic..... You?..." Tilting my head seeing the impact of the light burn the ground leaving only a creater of it behind me making me confused
"I'm a swordman... Well sword woman to be precise... So if you don't do this and I don't this... Then who is..."
And then a tall figure coming out behind the bushes a long and white silverish hair man wearing a black jacket, inspecting the two of us with a sly smile he had.
"So long time no see old friend? Fighting slime again?" The mysterious man said while rubbing his chin
"Oh khirhan long time no see, still wandering around the continent I see? hehehe thanks for the help old man" she said while going to him nudging him with her elbow
I stand up brush the dust of my clothes and then go to Cynthia, still confused about the whole situation is and then I whispering to Cynthia who is this man
"So who is he Cynthia? You did say he is an old friend"
"Hahaha not quite but he is one though, this old man or should I say khirhan is the current Grand mage of this continent" she saying it while posing that he is a worthy treasure.....
"Nice to meet another one of Cynthia friend, as she introduced myself I'm khirhan the current Grand mage of the continent and also the Grand mage of Dracoria kingdom"
"Isn't that the kingdom with the giant mountain?" Scratching my head while pointing at the dragon head mountain that me and Cynthia talking about earlier with the Forstaxen driver
"Sure indeed" he nodded and started walking again leaving us behind.
"Hey khirhan mind me and Erika follow you around? I promise to not borrow any money again" as she sees khirhan walking she scoot over to the side of him while making a hand pose that I should follow him too
"You sure? The last time you said that you borrow me a couple hundred silver coins" hahaha"
So he is normal and the one I'm following this blue anomalies that has been helping me out is a literal golddigger.... Fantastic... I should've met khirhan but rather I met Cynthia first well may day could get worse or weird but khirhan save it by a mile
"Erika hello~ Cynthia to Erika again she really likes to daydreaming khirhan believe me on that"
"Hehehe no needs to be worried you two journey are still far from done"
"Khirhan... The way you said that making me nervous because everytime I heard that from someone I watch in my past life die in second they said that"
He laughed at my word and pat my head.... HE PATTED MY HEAD!!!!!
"I'm still young as you two are I'm just looked like this"
"How old are you khirhan?" I said it with full curiosity
"I'm 47 years old"
47 while looking this young.... So that's why Cynthia call him an old man..... 47.... Literally 47 ....I just can't....
"Say... Where are you going actually? Aurelia? Dracoria? Marinara? Or sylveria?"
So that's what the kingdom called huh? Aurelia, dracoria, marinara and sylveria.....
"Hmm not sure probably marinara since they're having their great dragon offering festival"
A festival? That was fast for my journey... I just spawn here some guide me i register as a adventurer got gear and now my very first event in this world.... Wow so much happening in one day.... I guess this is called idol energy huh? I mean in my past life as an idol I used to be like this get dragged around the place but here I'm getting dragged all over the place because of this Blue hair girl named Cynthia Atsuki....
