Chapter 214

Traveling Together

The next day, we went with Rudolph-san to replenish the equipment.

First, we bought general medicine, smoke bombs and flares at a pharmacy.

Rather, I had no idea smoke bombs and flares were sold at the pharmacy! Of course, stores that sell tools for adventurers apparently sell them too, but pharmacy has more varieties, it seems. I am seriously glad Rudolph-san went with us!

After that, I ordered a treasure chest-like toy box at a carpenter's and bought small blankets in a bedding store. I also bought blankets that were similar to bathrobes. They were wearable blankets. I thought it would come in handy, so I bought three.

Lastly, Rudolph-san brought us to a weapon's shop to get the knives. It was the shop that was repairing his weapons.

"Old man, we are intruding~"

"Oh, is it you, Rudolph? You came at the right time!"

"W, what is it? What's wrong, Old man?"

The moment we entered the workshop, a man that was sitting behind the counter stood up as he hit the counter.

"I am lacking materials! Let's go to the mines! Right away!"

It appears that he wanted to visit the mines to restock on materials, so he was thinking of hiring guards, and then, Rudolph-san appeared just at the right time.

"Old man, look here~… my weapon is with you for repairs."

"Since it's you, you will be fine with a subst.i.tute."

"Well, I won't say it won't be fine, but…"

Are there perhaps no monsters in the mines that would make Rudolph-san take it seriously?

"Which tunnel?"

"2 should be good."

"N~ right~… Old man, is it fine for these guys to tag along?"

"Eh?"

Suddenly facing us, he let out a weird noise.

"These guys, you mean these kids?"

"I guarantee that they won't be a hindrance."

"Hooh~ They have enough skill for your warranty, huh. But, they can't prove their skill without proof, I might reject?"

What is this… the discussion is advancing on its own. At this rate, we will be going to the mines as we are?

"Tak.u.mi, what rank are the pipsqueaks?"

"… They are D-rank."

"You heard that. How about it, Old man?"

"You have said enough, Rudolph. I have no problems with it."

Rudolph-san's discussion with the blacksmith's Old man continued to advance.

"Tak.u.mi, did you know that these mines are under Feudal Lord's management and that you needed an application to enter and mine?"

"No, I wasn't aware."

"You could cave-in if you dug mindlessly, after all."

"Ah, I see."

Certainly, I can see that now that he mentioned it.

That said, it seems to take a lot of effort to dig in mines, so I feel that you can't simply do it if it's not your main job… but, there seem to be people managing it.

"I will tell you just in case, but you are free to collect materials around the mountain as you please if you aren't planning on entering the mines."

"I am glad to hear that."

I definitely planned to collect materials on the mountain after entering the town, so I thought it might become a problem.

"And so, here's the real issue at hand. The mountain has several tunnels that are numbered."
