"Hmm, okay. I bought this one, I think I'm suitable for using it for the opening ceremony later," said the woman, smiling kindly in front of Freislor.
"Wouldn't the opening ceremony have a party to wear traditional dress? There will be lots of people and merchants later. Don't you think it won't be dangerous?" asked Freislor firmly. The girl continued to stare at her intently.
"Of course I understand that, young man. But, unfortunately I was assigned to guard the border. You know, at that times, something are not desirable things can happen, right? I'm going to time travel today. We are all tasked to clarifying about what things must be evaluated from past events. Even if it never happens again, but we must remain vigilant, right? It wouldn't be good if we forgot what happened in the past. The conclusion we must be a person who never negligent with the past," replied the woman at length. She took out a round bag containing some coins.
"Ah, I see. It doesn't matter if you use it for the right things. So, the price of this sword is five klotuos," said Freislor. Please note, Klotuos is a special currency made of gold and has a dragon symbol. Each Klotuos has its own level.
The tallest and most difficult to get are the Klotuos with the dragon symbol, followed by the Klotuos with the sheep element symbol, and finally the Klotuos with the cat symbol. Klotuos with the cat symbol are often used by someone there.
"Are you seriously going to buy it? Let me tell you, this sword costs the equivalent of five dragon Klotuos. Isn't that very expensive?" asked Freislor while squinting one eye.
"Are you doubting me? Do you think I can't afford it? Hahaha, alright young man. I know you're shocked after hearing this. But, well, I'll buy it. Here's the money," She said as she gave five Klotuos to Freislor. The girl smiled and accepted the bill.
"Thank you very much, Madam. Have a nice day," said Freislor.
"Yeah, me too. See you next time," the woman replied as she walked away from the shop. Freislor smiled cheerfully. She ran to the side of the room and immediately told Mr. Welbour.
"Mr. Welbour, you have to hear this. I'm sure you will be surprised after hearing this," said Freislor with a friendly smile. Mr. Welbour immediately stopped his work after hear that. He was very curious about what happened to Freislor.
"What do you want to say? Don't make me curious," he said with a smile.
"See? Someone bought your newest sword," said Freislor excitedly. The black hair girl gave the money to Mr Welbour.
"Wow, that's great. Thank you very much for trying hard, Freislor. I'll give you a bonus for that. By the way, I want to tell you about something. After this, our shop will be closed for a while. You know that we have to go back in time to offer a prayer to our predecessors, right?" asked Mr. Welbour while wiping his sweat.
"What? We went back in time? Today? But, why? Usually, we only do it at certain times, right?" asked Freislor while scratching her head.
"Hey, don't you know? Things like that were just discussed last week. There's been a change of decision now, Freis. So, we can only open the shop for two hours. You can relax a bit today," said Mr. Welbour while turning off the still burning stove.
"I think, I'm just hearing about it now. Well, thanks for the information, Mr. Welbour. I'm glad to hear that," said Freislor.
"Well, you're welcome. Now, I'm going inside to eat, take a shower, and arrange the bouquets. Please take care of the shop and properly close the workroom, okay? Thank you," said Mr. Welbour, he went and stepped into the house. After that, Freislor returned to the shop and stayed there for a while.
"Why didn't my Mother tell me about this? Akh, did I forgot it?" she thought deeply. The girl tapped her fingers on the table. Her mind was filled with endless questions regarding the sacred event that was a few hours away. On one side, several people were walking at an irregular pace.
"Hey, the atmosphere is very crowded right now," she said quietly. Freislor saw how people brought some items and flowers that were considered important. Some of them are rushing to do their activities. And the rest, are busy discussing something. Some people cried with smiling faces, and the rest, cried bitterly.
"I guess, this event will be emotionally draining," the girl breathed slowly. Freislor sat sadly. There were several things that were occupying her mind. However, it didn't last long, because so many customers came to her shop, even though the shop was only open for two hours.
After two hours later, she was called by Mr. Welbour. The man was ready with his best clothes. Black shirt combined with black pants and hat. A perfect combination.
"Hey, Freislor. We meet again now, what do you think?" he asked while smiling at Freislor. The teenager standing next to him saw Mr. Welbour.
"Well, very good. Fits in with today's program, Mr. Welbour. I'm sure your ancestors will like it," replied Freislor, the girl smiled cheerfully at him.
"Well, I hope so too. By the way, this is your bonus. As I told you before. Now, you can go back to your home and have fun with your family. I'm sure, you and your family will love this event," said Mr. Welbour while giving some coins to Freislor.
"Okay, Mr. Welbour, thank you very much. I'll be going home now, see you tomorrow," said Freislor with a smile. The girl left the shop where she worked. She walked and pass a group of people who look nervous, sad, and also frustrated. However, there was one thing that made Freislor curious.

"What is she doing out there?" Freislor thought as she glanced at a little girl standing on the corner and holding several newspapers, her clothes were very shabby, and her face was flat.
