“All right, that seems to be a good invitation…” Allen nodded. “Now then to answer that boy’s question from a while ago, I am indeed a human but you should have seen my race through that girl’s appraisal type ability just like how you have known my name… my race changed because of my ability… I’m originally a human…”

“Is that so, we understood…” Andrea heaves a sigh of relief. “Then will you join us?”

Allen didn’t respond immediately and turned his gaze at Sara, who was frowning for some reason.

“Sara,”

“Hm?”

“They are inviting us for a Dungeon Boss fight, you in?”

Sara pondered for a moment. “What do you think?”

Allen shrugs. “Not really matters for me, however, it’s an opportunity to increase your strength, how about it?”

“Okay, that seems fun.” Sara nodded and smiled. She didn’t really care but, an opportunity to become stronger? Yes way! She’s in!

“We’re in.”

The Dungeon Expedition won’t still happen tomorrow morning when they have already prepared everything so Allen and Sara have some free time.

They rent a room in an inn, of course only one room for both of them. As a gentleman, Allen tried to suggest two but Sara said it would just be a waste of money, in any case, they are already together and he already even assaulted her, what’s there to even think about it? What is worth to steal or hidden from a man's eyes, Allen has already taken all!!

Well, women are one of the most mysterious creatures in the world.

At first, they were full of guard but once a woman entered a physical relationship with a man, she would change because of him and all of her guards will be put down, as if they were offering their selves personally.

Obviously, Allen didn’t care. Why would he? It’s like someone is offering you a free sundae, so why not accept it?

Allen left the inn to stroll while Sara remained, saying she wanted to rest.

With the lazy cat on his shoulder as his only company, Allen wandered around, looking at every sight.

Everywhere was full of stalls and people holding weapons, wearing various kinds of outfits that you might think, ‘Was it already Halloween?’ – Though the only exception is that there’s no scary mask or attire but filled with people wearing fantastical outfits.

There were even people wearing flashy robes and armors, looking like magicians, warriors or knights.

They looked like imitation fakes but with his sixth sense as a Monster King, well, Mana perception, Allen picked up minuscule amounts of magical power on.

Although incredibly weak, those items were the real deal. Did they found it inside the Dungeon? How come almost every people were wearing one?

Allen enjoyed walking around when,

In a place filled with many odd and strange looking creatures ( Fantasy wearing people ) are walking around nonchalantly as if it was natural. Consequently, a girl with obsidian-colored hair and sky-blue eyes would not be considered a particularly wondrous sight. Nevertheless, she was clearly different from all the rest.

-- Beautiful.

She was a girl in her late teens with average looking looks that can’t really contend to a famous model but Allen for some reason can’t help but call her beautiful and felt attracted.

Her black-colored hair was not very long. Tall, slim build an average and ordinary yet exquisite and proportional face like an angel's, displaying all-surpassing purity, giving her some strange charm.

However, her vagabond attire only served to further contrast with her beauty--

It seemed only natural, but why? Allen thought incredulously. Why does he feel attracted to her? Well, you know it’s as if he had known her from somewhere, someplace…

But, he can’t remember where he had seen her.

Allen shook his head and smiled bitterly. He then started walking forward.

“This sword is found in the Dungeon. It was a magical sword that can generate fire and has an implanted skill; [ Flame Slash ] and [ Vertical Sweep ]… 20 silver coins, how about it?” the vendor proudly said.

The girl examined the sword seriously.

“Is this really good?”

“Of course, it’s extremely good. You can easily kill monsters with that…”

“Ah sorry, it’s not for me but for my brother… I want to give him a present when he came back.” The girl smiled sweetly.

“Lady, you’re really beautiful, how about it, I will give you this for 18 silver coins, do you want it?

As the girl was about to respond suddenly,

“I suggest you also take that rusted short sword with that sword.” A voice said behind her.

The girl turned around and saw a dark-skinned youth with silver hair and crimson eyes walking towards her. what an odd and strange appearance…

“Excuse me?”

The moment she laid eyes on the youth, something inside the girl stirred, surprising her. What is this?

The youth smiled at her, giving her Goosebumps.

He took the sword from her hand and the rusted short sword beside it. “How much is this?”

“Hey!” She called out. She was the first one to see it. “That’s mi--”

“Don’t worry, it’s yours.” The handsome silver-haired youth said with a smile.

“Customer, together with that short sword its 30 Silver…” The vendor smiled excitedly.

“It seems like it went up, however, do you know what this is?”

“??”

“Then if you don’t know why are you raising the price?” the silver-haired youth asked sharply.

“Yes?” The vendor was taken aback.

“Do you know why I said to include the short sword? It’s because you’re clearly conning this pretty young lady…”

“What?!”

“Mister is that true?!”

“No, no way. I wasn’t. Hey boy, don’t speak in a venture. I’m not doing such thing!” The vendor tried to act violently but the moment he locked gazes with the young man in front of him, he suddenly felt dizzy and his vision blur.

Next, he felt the youth’s eyes enlarge infinitely, occupying his entire line of sight. Like a predator that had its eyes fixed on a prey, he gave him a deathly glare. That oppressive feeling was like a whole building pressing down on his body.

The vendor’s body trembled.

How terrifying!

His legs constantly trembled and softened; he couldn’t stand steadily and dropped on his butt.

Cold sweat dripping on his forehead.

“This sword, with two, three clashes, it will break. Count my words.” The silver-haired youth said, still with an amiable kid-next-door smile. “Giving 18 Silver coins for this is certainly, not worth. So, with this short sword, then all of it reaches the price of 18 Silver Coins… isn’t it?”

Vendor nodded fearfully.

“… oh, get with this bracer for the change~” the youth took some money, exactly 18 Silver Coins and placed it on the table and grab the items.

“Let’s go,” He said towards the girl. The girl was flabbergasted from what happened and automatically nodded her head.

When they were already disappeared from the crowd, the silver-haired youth turned around and gave all the things to the girl.

“Wai, huh?”

“These two are set weapons…” The silver-haired youth spoke as he took the sword and the rusted short sword and gave them to her. “They will be stronger if used together…”

“Then you lied?” the girl very fiercely glared at him and said unhappily. “You conned that mister?”

“I didn’t… what I said was the truth. That is why; I suggest you visit a blacksmith first and reinforced them before using it. Due to their age, they have become dull causing it to weaken their durability… and as for this bracer, this is a good support item. It can raise your strength and toughness…”

“Th, thank you…” The girl showed a complicated expression while accepting them. “18 Silver Coins, right…”

“Kanena provlima*…” The silver youth waved his hands in the air indicating that he didn’t want it. “I’m just passing by~”

“Oh,” The girl frowned but she didn’t force and just accepts it. She didn’t know why but she felt as if, it was understandable no, it was you know… it was fine…
