Arriving at the material store, Takumi and Iris had come to buy materials for their protective equipment.

"I've been here a long time, but I'm not sure which one is a good material..."

Iris laughed couscous as he looked around and heard a pompous word Takumi leaked.

"Actually, I don't really know what a good material is either. But this time we're going to use B-rank Monster White Wolf and SS Rank Monster Fantasy Beast materials."

And I found the White Wolf material, and I was happy to say, "There it is!" Takumi looked back and raised her voice unexpectedly to Iris, who shrugged.

"Do you use SS ranked monster material!?

Highly ranked monster materials are hard to get, so if you're not in a big city like Astrea, there's a lot of stuff that hasn't been out there, and the transaction price is half as high. When it comes to SS ranked monsters, you need a single gold coin that can be a lot of money even if it's cheap.

Iris replied with a bitter smile to such Takumi.

"To the point of buying a little phantom beast fur when I say use it, the base is going to be made of white wolf! I think it would be enough if we could combine the money we sometimes saved with the money we've earned since we became adventurers."

"I see...... Does phantom beast fur have any special properties or something?

According to Iris, Phantom Beast fur has properties that invalidate some magic attack. Looks like Iris in the role of party healing, auxiliary magic is more likely to get a wider range of magic attacks than physical ones, so I thought I'd hire him for protective gear this time around.

"Ah, Takumi! Find together which White Wolf materials are good!

With that said, Takumi blushed her cheeks at Iris leaning against Takumi's arm with an innocent grin.

(uhh! hey, I can light something...)

Then, Takumi and Iris managed to find the luxurious white wolf material, the transparency and the surface reflecting on the light to find the material of the sparkling phantom beast.

And Takumi finished shopping safely at the material store, surprised by the price that was not enough to match all of Takumi's property now offered by Iris' uncle in accounting.

- Whoa, whoa.

(Should I get some new gear, too? Because it would be tough to fight powerful enemies like Bundersnatch in the past, even if it were reinforced with granting magic in the current armor...)

When the two of them finished shopping, they left the store and next they were walking towards the blacksmith to hand over the material and order protective equipment.

- Cu ~......

When I heard a lovely noise from next door at that time and accidentally turned to Iris, Iris was shyly turning his face bright red and suppressing his stomach.

Takumi relaxed her cheeks and suggested to Iris.

"Time to go to lunch"

"Ugh... embarrassing... thank you"

- Whoa, whoa.

The material store that had just purchased the material was south of Astrea, and since the blacksmith was on the opposite north side, Takumi and the others were to have lunch at the store that was on the way.

Two people, Takumi and Iris, sitting in a two-seater at the building's window, ordered the food, and Takumi narrowed her eyes and looked out the window.

"I miss you...... Was it this seat when you first met Iris and came to this store?

Yes, this was the coffee shop where we started and went in and had a conversation after the two of us met.

"Oh, you remember very well! Speaking of which, were you rubbing something with Mr. Walnut after you left the store?

"Ahhh... Yeah, well, forget about that..."

Iris was laughing couscous at Takumi, who remembers the time and laughs bitterly and answers.

Then Takumi happened to hear a conversation between two adventurous pairs of women sitting in seats a little further away when Iris, who had finished cooking for a while, was taking his seat off the toilet.

He said, "I see you again."

"Again... No way the adventurer's missing again?

"Yeah. This is what I asked my friend's guild receptionist kid this morning... apparently an adventurer who took his request in the Forest of Death this time too"

(Again... No, is Ende village near the forest of death okay? Maybe next time the three of us should go show our faces...)

When Takumi was blurring and frowning at such a thing, Iris returned from washing her hands, so they left the store after completing accounting to go to the blacksmith.

- Whoa, whoa.

Then, under the guidance of Iris, the two-story blacksmith visited by Takumi Tatsuhita is measuring reception and equipment on the ground floor, and there seems to be a workshop upstairs to build equipment.

And as they entered the store side by side, the door bell rang, and Takumi and his aunts noticed that they were receptionists.

"Oh."

Then my aunt, who saw the two of them, approached me with a grin and laughed at them.

"Oh, sweetie ~! Couple, what are you doing here today? A tour?"

"Hey, a couple..."

When Takumi glanced next door, frightened by the aunt at the receptionist who was somewhat mistaken, to ask for her consent on what she was talking about, Iris, who had turned red and hidden her lit cheeks with both hands, looked less than full.

"... ahhh, this kid came here today to make Iris' gear. Some materials."

"What, you adventurers? Well, then I'll take my measurements, but are you here to watch?

Takumi replied with a bitter laugh to the words of her aunt, who smiled with a nigga.

"haha...... I won't be shy"

Takumi gently turned down and left the store. I felt sorry for you before I left the store, but I guess it was because of you. Maybe.

- Whoa, whoa.

Then as Takumi remembered what had happened today and watched the people walking in the city for enough time, the store door opened and Iris came out and found Takumi and ran for a small run.

And Takumi also noticed Iris, responding with one hand up.

"Have you finished measuring your gear?

"Yes! Since it's over, Takumi will you come inside and think about the design with me?

Takumi responded with a small laugh to such an eye of Iris' expectations.

"If I may."

After that, Iris and Takumi had already sunk by the time the design finally came together after coming up with a proposal for the design of the protective equipment.

- Whoa, whoa.

Street lights lit up the road and the people of the city who went out for drinks after work could be heard all over the city.

As Takumi and the others walked side-by-side through the city where so many people would come and go for dinner, Iris looked back as he ran out in front of Takumi for a small run and the sagging light reflected to soften his glowing golden hair, with a full grin.

"Thank you so much for today! It was so much fun and helpful!

"This one was fun! I've learned a lot. Thank you."

When Takumi laughed at Iris like that, Iris took a breath and waved to Takumi, patiently saying goodbye and breaking up what was unfortunate.

Afterwards, Iris was walking through the city of Astrea night in retrospect of what had been a day alone in an upbeat mood with his hair in the night breeze without returning to the inn immediately.

(It was fun...... Takumi is a little blunt in people's favors, but did she convey some of my feelings?)

And Iris grinned at his mouth as he looked up at the sky alone with his hair over his ear.

(My favorite hero ever since you helped me!)

And there was a glimmer of shooting stars in Astrea's night sky as an elf girl in love with one human being looked up.
