Let’s Get Equipped

There was a wide space in the processing area, so they decided to take out the kobolds again.
*Thud, thud, thud—piling up high.*
“How did you manage to defeat so many…? And isn’t an item box normally not supposed to hold this much…?” (Silue)
“Really? This bag is of poor quality, so I couldn’t make one with a significant capacity, though.” (Leon)
“You couldn’t make it…?” (Silue)
Silue furrowed her brows at those words.
After all, in the current world, item boxes could only be made by a very limited number of magicians and were extremely rare magic tools that hardly ever circulated in the market. Moreover, even the most expensive ones had a capacity of at most a single wagonload.
“No, I must have misheard… yeah.” (Silue)
Silue convinced herself of that, but upon seeing Leon finally take out the Kobold King, her jaw nearly dropped in shock.
“Eh… this looks like a Kobold King… But, no way, you defeated it? The Kobold King is a monster that requires high-ranking adventurers to step in, you know…?” (Silue)
Silue stared intently at the slime sitting atop Leon’s head.
What’s wrong~?’
Sura quivered.
“I had heard from Mr Zaraga, but this is quite an incredible slime despite its appearance…” (Silue)
It seemed she assumed that Sura was the one who had defeated the Kobold King.
However, upon seeing Seira and Yuri shaking their heads vigorously side to side.
“Eh? No? Huh? Almost all of them were defeated by Leon-kun alone? All of these? What are you even saying? There’s no way that’s possible… you’re saying it’s true?” (Silue)
At her sheer level of astonishment, Leon finally started to sense something off.
Maybe I overdid it a little?
Of course, it wasn’t just “a little”.
“So, how much do you think this will be worth?” (Leon)
“Uh… with this much, it’ll take some time to appraise everything. Sorry, but could you come back tomorrow?” (Silue)
—
The next day, Leon and the others visited the guild once more.
“This is the reward, including the purchase of the materials from yesterday.” (Silue)
“Ohh, hefty. Is it really okay to get this much?” (Leon)
“Yes, of course. Not only did you defeat 56 kobolds, including one Kobold King and four Elder Kobolds, but you also brought them in whole. Furthermore, all the materials had minimal damage, so they were highly valued. Normally, even top-tier adventurers can’t defeat monsters this cleanly…” (Silue)
The reward Silue handed over easily exceeded the yearly earnings of a commoner.
Furthermore…
“With this quest, Leon-kun is promoted to D-rank, and Seira-san and Yuri-san to E-rank. Congratulations, this is the fastest record in our guild.” (Silue)
Seira and Yuri exchanged glances, wearing complicated expressions as if to say, “We hardly did anything, though…”.
Afterward, they moved to the guild’s free space to split the reward. Of course, Leon intended to divide it into three equal parts as agreed upon, but that led to a dispute with Seira and Yuri.
“We really can’t accept this.” (Seira)
“That’s right. We barely did anything, so we don’t deserve it…” (Yuri)
Both of them argued that they had no right to take the money.
“But we decided this beforehand. If you really don’t want it, then you could always donate it somewhere.” (Leon)
“If that’s the case…” (Seira)
“Are you really sure…?” (Yuri)
In the end, the two relented, reluctantly accepting the money with guilty expressions. However, since it would be dangerous for rookie adventurers to carry such a large sum…
Let’s deposit it in the guild.
They looked at each other and nodded in agreement.
—
“Let’s get equipped.” (Leon)
After leaving the guild, Leon decided to use his first earnings to purchase equipment. At present, he didn’t even have a sword.
I can fight without one, but if a formidable opponent appears, it could be a problem.
Incidentally, the strong enemies Leon envisioned included the Demon King, mythical-class monsters, or noble-rank demons. His clothing was also just the one set he was currently wearing, plain everyday clothes, unsuitable for adventuring. With frayed edges and holes here and there, it didn’t look good at all.
Leon headed toward the market.
—
“Well, this should do.” (Leon)
He purchased clothes from a store that catered to adventurers. Made from monster leather, they were durable yet flexible, allowing for easy movement. Of course, they couldn’t compare to what he had worn in his previous life, but for now, they were good enough.
“Thank you for your purchase.” (Clerk)
As soon as he received the item, Leon began enchanting it with magic right in front of the store clerk. Since the material could withstand a decent amount of enhancement… Heat resistance, cold resistance, impact resistance, magic resistance, and even auto-cleaning and auto-repair functions. With this lightness, its defensive capability far surpassed that of inferior armor.
“…Huh?” (Clerk)
Seeing the newly sold clothing instantly transform into a national-treasure-class magic garment, the clerk could only gape in astonishment. Although, as a mere shop attendant, they couldn’t fully comprehend what had just happened, only that a child had casually performed enchantments.
“How does it look? Does it suit me?” (Leon)
Sura gazed at him longingly.
“You want clothes too? I see… but, well, they don’t sell clothes for slimes.” (Leon)
Thinking that a hat might work, Leon bought one for Sura.
It was a round, brimless hat with a little tip sticking up at the top.
Putting it on—
It suited Sura perfectly. And it was adorable.
“Yaaay~!” (Sura)
Sura bounced up and down in delight.
It seemed like she liked it. Of course, he will also attach magic to it, just like with Leon’s clothes.
Next, Leon arrived at the weapon shop. Swords, axes, spears, bows, and various other weapons were placed. However…
Hmm… not great
All of them were mass-produced. The materials used were bad, and at best, they were made of mithril. In that case, it would be better to fight barehanded. Yet, compared to the clothes, the prices were quite high, so there was no way he felt like buying anything. He tried other stores, but they were all pretty much the same.
“Well, it’s fine. It’s not like I need it immediately.” (Leon)
In the end, he decided to return to the inn without buying anything. Then, at that moment.
“If you’re a blacksmith, then just quietly forge the sword the customer wants! I’ll pay you properly, so!” (Man)
Such a yelling voice could be heard.
When Leon looked over, there was a small workshop that seemed like it was about to collapse. It seemed the voice was coming from inside this workshop.
“I’ve been saying it over and over again, right? I only forge swords that I want to forge. Unfortunately, you’re not on the list.” (Woman)
“What the hell, amateur! If you keep talking like that, I’ll—gugh!?” (Man)
A big man broke through the door and rolled out of the workshop. Soon after, a tall woman came out, carrying a sword.
“I’ll tell you, I don’t show mercy to malicious complainers!” (Woman)
“Yiii!” (Man)
Just as the man tried to get up, the tip of the sword was thrust right in front of his nose, and the man let out a scream. The strong killing intent emanating from the woman’s whole body indicated that she was ready to kill the man at any moment.
“O-okay, I was wrong, aaaaahhh!” (Man)
In the end, the man fled while crying.
