Chapter 7

{Time skip: next day}

As he expected, no one entered in his shop after the adventurer exited the previous day. Still, he was confident he would sell his first item today, so he was in a pretty good mood when he opened his shop.

He had to wait two hours before he finally saw the adventurer from the day before. What surprised him was the fact that four other people were following him and behind his group, there was another 4-person group.

All of them entered his shop. The shop wasn't really that full, but Satoru felt like it was since he never saw so many people in it.

"Ah, good morning… Sir Moknach and… dear customers."

The blond adventurer grinned at him.

"Good morning, Sir Satoru. I apologize for my lateness, but after showing the item you gave me to my group, they insisted to come, and even the group we were working with wanted to come."

Moknach explained as he drew the enchanted sword.

"So, I imagine you want to buy it."

Said Satoru.

"Of course."

Confirmed the adventurer as he put on the counter five golden coins. Satoru grabbed the coins and put them away before turning to the other adventurers.

They all introduced themselves, but Satoru only grasped some names. He made a mental note to remember the other group name, Iron Grip, another gold ranked group.

"Pleased to meet you all. Have a look around and ask me if you need anything."

The adventurers began to look around. The first to ask for his help was the magic caster from Rainbow.

"Excuse me, are these magic scrolls? I recognize some of them, but not the others. I have no idea what kind of spells they contain."

She was a young woman, maybe not even 20.

"Are you an arcane magic caster miss?"

Satoru asked. She nodded.

"Well, these here are all magic scrolls for arcane magic casters. They go from the first tier to the third, I have fireball, iceball, lightning and many others."

As he explained the girl's eyes went wide.

"T-T-Third tier spells in scrolls?!"

The shock on her face was pretty funny.

"H-How much?! How much for a t-third tier spell?"

She asked, her voice trembling.

"It is 50 silver for the first tier, 1 gold coin for the second tier and 2 gold coins for the third tier."

He explained.

"I-Impossible! In the magician guild first tier scrolls cost around 1 gold coin! Considering the rarity of third tier casters, this scroll should be around 10 gold coins at least!"

Satoru was a bit tired of her attitude and decided to put an end to that farce.

"Are you going to buy some?"

She looked frenetically in her bag and in an instant launched herself against Moknach.

"MOKNACH! GIVE ME MONEY! THIS IS A ONCE-IN-A-LIFETIME OCCASION!"

Her teammate was trying to calm her down.

"Militia, I already spent more than yesterday's pay for this sword. How do you expect me to lend you money?"

Even after Moknach's protests, she still continued to insist until one of her companions gave her a purse. She ended up buying 3 third tier scrolls and 2 second tier scrolls.

"Excuse me, are all of these weapons enchanted?"

Asked one of the members of Iron Grip. To say they were enchanted was quite incorrect. After all, Satoru didn't have the data crystals used in enchanting.

What he did was just infuse some of his magic in the weapons and armors. As an arcane magic caster, he could infuse them with the element of fire, ice and lightning.

With his undead status, he could add darkness and, considering his job classes, he could put in matter, space and time as well.

Of course, such a cheap method didn't allow for the creation of magical items as powerful as those in Yggdrasil, but he didn't think there was someone who could do better than that in this world without data crystals.

"Yes, if you tell me what you are looking for, I will see if I can accommodate you."

After he helped the adventurers with their gear, another one asked for his help.

"Excuse me, what is this?"

He asked as he pointed at the blackboard with the spells' names on it. They were all buff spells.

"Ah, those are spells I can cast on you to give you certain buffs. Of course, the price changes for each spell and for how much time the spells last. There are only 12 hours or 24 hours spells for now, but I will maybe introduce 6 and 48 hours in the future."

As he explained the concept, many seemed interested. It was surely an innovative concept.

"But there are so many spells. And to make them last 24 hours? Even 12 would be a great feat on its own!"

Said Militia, the magic caster. For Satoru, it wasn't that much of a problem. He just needed to put more MP in his spells and since they were weak spells, the MP required was far less than those for higher tiers.

"Do not worry. I'm an arcane magic caster of the fifth tier. It is no problem for me."

At that statement everyone's eyes fell on him in amazement. Militia closed the distance between her and Satoru.

"Do you accept apprentices? Please, I will do anything!"

Satoru wasn't used to having young women so near to him and his Emotional Suppression activated.

"Ah, I'm sorry. I don't feel ready to have apprentices. I'm only 27 after all."

As he said those words, Militia practically threw her voluptuous body against his, triggering his Emotional Suppression once more.

"Fifth tier and only 27! Then please marry me!"

Satoru was at a loss. He couldn't even speak anymore. Fortunately, Moknach came to save him. He grabbed his companion from behind and pulled her away from Satoru.

"Oi! Stop it already! Do not disgrace our names in front of others! I humbly apologize for her behavior, Sir Satoru."

He said as he bowed his head.

"It's fine."

Satoru managed to say before trying to return to his previous decorum like nothing had happened.

He ended up selling some more items in the next hour. When everyone finally left, he went to count how much he got.

23 gold coins and 70 silver coins. A good amount. Surely more than what he initially thought.

He waited a few more hours but as he expected, no one came. Still, he was confident these quiet days wouldn't last for much longer.

It was impossible to not notice the new gear of two groups. Surely more will hear about him and what he offered.

It was a couple hours past noon when the door of the shop opened once more.

"Good afternoon dear custo- Oh?!"

On the door frame there was a young boy with brown hair and green eyes. He had a smile on his face and a book in his arms.

"Rayne?" He asked.

The boy smiled even more and ran at him. Following him inside was Randel.

"Good afternoon Lord Satoru." He said.

The magic caster felt awkward again at being addressed like that.

"Good afternoon, how are things going?"

"It's great Lord Satoru. Did you know that in a few months, we will move away from our home and come to live here next to you!"

The boy said excitedly.

"Oh, I see. You must be quite excited."

He said as he ruffled the boy's hair with his large gloved hand.

"He insisted on coming with me today, but I have a lot of customers now. Could I ask you to look after him for a few minutes? If it is no bother for you of course."

Randel asked.

"It's okay."

Satoru answered since he really had nothing better to do than wait. Randel left his shop to return to his customers and he and Rayne were left alone.

"Well, I saw that book when I came at your home. You seem to like it a lot, what is it about?"

Satoru asked before the silence became awkward. The boy smiled.

"It is the legend of the Thirteen Heroes from 200 years ago! I always wanted to be like the dark knight from that story!"

The boy said with shining eyes.

"Oh, I'm from far away so I never heard about that legend. Could you tell it to me?" Satoru asked.
