Chapter 46 Pana Village.
"Thank you for your patronage, Dear Customer".
After finding the weapon and finishing the transaction, Jin waited for Silvia near the entrance door while he scanned the interior. He had nothing to do besides check his condition and the equipment he had just bought.
"Thanks for the wait, Jin".
A clear bell-like voice echoed as Jin’s breath caught up in his throat, witnessing Iris with her new looks.
In her hand, she held the folded black Jacket Jin had lent her. Silvia’s new outfit was a white coat that draped to her knees, with fur around her collar to prevent her from getting cold and a hood.
On her chest, Jin could see a glittering silver plate strapped to her back and a pair of gauntlets to protect her arms and knee guards, prompting him to tilt his head and ask. "Are you coming with me?".
"Well, of course, I will". Silvia pounded her chest; confidence radiating on her beings. "This was my first time exploring the outside world, and I’m a bit excited."
Meanwhile, Jin furrowed his brows and smacked his forehead. He planned to ask Silvia to return and send his parents a message, but the outcome was outside his prediction.
It was not his place to restrict the girl’s will; she was free to do anything. She was also the one who bought him a new weapon. However, this becomes a different story if she becomes involved in a dangerous situation, entering a newborn dungeon that is shrouded in unknown danger.
Jin already considered the risk when taking the Subquest: ’I plan to investigate this case alone and escort the girl back home’.
’If things go south quickly, I can still do something to save myself,’ he says, staring at the girl standing before him.
