Dungeons Appeared in Real Life Chapter 14

The next morning, when I wake up, I take care of the field, as usual, feed the chickens and collect eggs then I have breakfast.
After that, I killed time and went out nearly at ten.
First is to withdraw money at the bank.
It took time to process because of the large amount, but I withdrew 3 million yen.
Next, I headed to the store that purchases monster materials.
It's to sell the rabbit ears I got.
I have in hand 6 rabbit ears.
The people of the SDF said it was 2000 to 3000 yen, but I don't know if it's true.
If it's true then if I hunt a rabbit, let's get its ears.
If it's too cheap, then I stop it because it's a bother.
It was the first time I go to the store that buys monster materials, but that store was close to the place I bought the Tsuruginata.

Oh, has it been so close?
I didn't notice it at all because I didn't have the time.
Somehow I understand the reason.
Perhaps, it's because it makes it easy to sell materials and then buy weapons and armors with that money.

I enter the store while thinking such a thing.

"Welcome"

As soon as I entered the store there was a counter in front of me.
The interior of the store isn't very wide.
Is it not more than 20 tatamis?
And at the counter, there was an ossan in his late thirties.(TN: or middle-aged man)

"It's a face I see for the first time. Have you just become a Seeker?"

"Y-yes, that's right"

"Really. So what?"

"……Eh?"

"You came to sell, right? What is the material?"

"A~ah, yeah, this"

I take out the rabbit ears that I brought.
I put the rabbit on the counter.

"Ho~, rabbit ears?"

The ossan took one rabbit ear and scrutinize it.

"The condition isn't bad. The others seem to be similar. If it's this I can buy it, do you want to sell it?"

"E~to, how much it will be?"

"That's right. How about 2,500 for one?"

One for 2,500?
Because there are six, will it be 15,000 yen?
It isn't a splendid good price.
Let's get it from now.

"Then, please"

"Understood. 15,000 in total"

Ossan took out 15,000 yen from the cash register and handed to me.
I check if the money it's correct and put it in my wallet.

"Thank you for your continued patronage, bring it again. I will buy it if it’s in this state"

"Understood. Then, from now I will come to sell if I get one in a good condition"

"Oh, I'll be waiting"

I leave that store and enter the weapon and armor store.
The purpose is an armor.
First of all, let's see the group of armors.

I went to the armor corner, the first thing I saw was a western armor and helmet.
It's called Full Plate Armor.
I approach and observe carefully.
It's made of iron, so it looks good but it seems to be pretty heavy.
Not so much, but I can't move wearing such thing.
The price is also worth seeing, it's 350 thousand.
It's fun to look as an otaku, but not as a Seeker, I think is impractical.
There are also others warrior armors, but they are for otakus.
I won't go to the dungeon with this.
Let's see if there is one more practical.
Looking at it, there were the chest part of a Plate Armor, bulletproof vest, and others.
Its defense power seems high, but I'm hesitant to buy it because generally, it's heavy.
I am not confident in my strength and endurance, so one that not hindered my movement is good even if its defense is slightly low.
Thinking so, looking for others, when I see a place with things with fur color lined up.
It's an armor, which seems to be made from monsters' material.
Armor which looks like made from alligator skin or animal fur is lined up.

He~e, there is something like this too.

When I touch them, the one like alligator skin was unexpectedly slippery and the fur was fluffy (fuwafuwa).
I thought about the weight, so I tried to pick it up, but I felt something unusual.
I tried to lift the armor made of alligator skin and I felt like I was losing my power.
Still, I want to lift it so I tried to lift it by putting my strength but I'm out of power.
No, it may be correct to say that I lost my power.
For a while, I struggled to lift it up, but in the end, I couldn’t.
I let go the armor, while I was fixing my breath, a salesclerk happened to pa.s.s.

"May I help you?"

"Ah, no, I tried to lift this but…"

I point to the one made of alligator skin.

"Ah, perhaps, you couldn't lift it?"

"Yes, that's right. It's like my power is gone"

"I see. Customer, I don't say bad things. You better give up on this armor"

"Why?"

"We don't know the cause yet, but weapons and armors made of monster materials choose their owner"

"Choose their owner?"

"Yes, that's right. When a person without power tries to wear it, he can't wear it well for some reason. Not only that but it seems that some penalty will come"

"Penalty?"

"Yes, that's right. For example, your movement gets worse or you get abnormally tired and others"

"Such a thing…"

"Some people say that their level isn't enough, but what do they mean?"

Oh, I see.
The level isn't enough, right?
Like a game.
A game that requires a certain level to equip with armors and weapons.
You can't equip it unless you reach that level, and even if you can equip it, there is a penalty.
In the case of weapons, the attack speed becomes extremely slow or doesn't reach half of the real attack power.
Is such thing applied?
If so, that means my level isn't enough to equip this armor.

"Thank you. That will be very helpful"

"Is that so? I'm glad if that the case, but what will you do?"

What to do?
If I use an armor made from a monster material, there will be high defense power and isn't heavy, but if my level isn't enough, do I have no choice but to give up?
Then, there is other?
Do I have to ask this clerk?

"Ah, is there a recommended armor?"

"What would you like?"

"One that is not too heavy and doesn't hinder the movement is good."

"How much is your budget?"

"Right. I think that about 1 million"

"1 million. One moment, please"

That said, the clerk left this place.
After a while, he brought something in his hands.

"How about this?"

The clerk spreads what he has in his hands.
That looked like a Rider Suit.

"Ano~, is that a proper armor?"

"Please wait a moment. I will explain this item now, so please judge after hearing it"

"…Understood"

"Then, I going to explain this product. This suit is similar to a raider suit but what is the raw material! It's made of carbon fiber!"

"Carbon fiber?"

"That's right. Do not you know?"

"Somehow, have I heard that name before?"

"Then, Do you know what kind of material is?"

"Ah, I know that. A light and durable material, right?"

"Yes, that's right. And carbon fiber is a fiber made of carbon" (TN: people die if they are killed)

"…In other words, is it a strong thread?"

"Yes, that's okay with that perception. To put it in more detail, the carbon material it's a material with the lightness comparable to aluminum foil and a strength like iron. This suit was made by processing it as fiber"

"Eh~, I see"

"That's so. In other words, this suit is a revolutionary armor that has strength as an average chain mail but less than 1 kilogram of weight"

"Eh!? As an average chain mail!?"

"Yes, that's right. How is it? It's a considerable recommended product"

Certainly, it's pretty good.
If this is the case, there will be no hindrance to the movement, also it's excellent as armor.
Moreover, there are few exposed parts because it's made to wear in the whole body like a raider suit.
It seems that the neck is also covered, ok, let's get it.

"That's good. How much is it?"

"Tha~t, the price…"

"Hmm? How much?"

"120…"

"120?"

"1.2 million"

"High!!"

"That's right. Although the performance is good, it's very difficult to make carbon fiber, in addition, the price is high so ma.s.s production can't be done…"

Certainly, the performance is good, but the price isn't proportional to that.
But, because this is about my life.
If you buy a cheap article and lose your life, then there is no choice but to buy something as high as this.

"That's good"

"Ah, as I thought would you like to stop?"

"Ah, that's not"

"Eh?"

"That's fine. I will purchase. That"

That said, the clerk made a smile on his whole face.

"Thank you. Then, we will match the size, this way please"

As it is the clerk lead me, to purchase something that just matches my size.
I also bought shoes, but they weren't so expensive, together it was 1.23 million in total.
