As a result of selling the goods I brought, I had 11 silver coins and 4 copper coins.
nI went to the bakery and bought some bread and water in a leather bag until I had about half of my shoiko. Even so, I only needed one silver coin. With this much money, I should be able to avoid starving to death for now.

After that, I found a signboard of a sword and a shield while walking around the city. It was certainly a weapon and armor store.
nWhen I went inside, I saw a one-eyed skinhead squid shopkeeper.
nI gestured to him and told him that I wanted a weapon and armor and that I had only ten silver coins, and he silently threw me a shortsword in a scabbard and an armor made of leather. It looked like something for a beginner, but I couldn’t change my mind. I told him “Kaimas” in the local language, and the deal was done.
nIf I were to bargain unwisely here, it might affect our future relationship. I decided that it would be safer to follow the asking price.
nThe ironclad rule is that you should only haggle for discount when you are in the market for something expensive. I still plan to trade eggs and medicinal herbs, so I need to focus on building business relationships here.
nIf possible, I also wanted the bow and arrows propped up on the shelf, but I was told that they cost two gold coins.
nI can’t afford it right now, so I’ll have to get it later.
nFinally, he introduced himself as Margo, and shook my hand firmly. I also shook his hand, mimicking what he probably said in our language, “Yoroshiku”. Then I left Margo’s Weapon and Armor Shop and returned to my hut.

I gained a lot today. First of all, it was great to be able to interact with people from this part of the world. I learned a few words of the local language, and also found customers for chicken eggs, herbs, and monster materials.
nFirst of all, I’m going to spend my time fighting slimes with my shortsword, collecting herbs, and trade them.
nBy the time I got back to the hut, I felt a little tired from all the walking, so I tried took some Irene herbs. As I did so, I felt warmer and lighter.
n『 Individual name: Keigo Okuda’s physical strength has increased from 6 to 7 』 (t/n: tairyoku, so his HP increased)
nApparently, my physical strength has improved. I’m basically an indoor person except for work, and I’m not physically fit. Today’s activity is an unthinkable amount of exercise for me. I guess that as soon as I recovered, my strength also increased. (t/n:super saiyan trait)
