I don't know about the best shop here to get weapon and armour here. So we decided to go nearest to us marked on the map. It was not as big as guild but it was still quite big compared to other buildings around it. Just as we were about to enter we saw 2 people being thrown and were being shouted at.
"Get out of my shop I have already declined your request go tell it to your master If he sends someone again he will get blacklisted by the blacksmith association. Sigh, honestly some people don't just understand." - a well built man in his mid forties.
"We should leave and report it to young lord. I don't get it we were offering 10 times the standard price"- Young Man
As the pair of men left and the raucous settled down we deliberated about whether to enter or not enter the shop but we didn't want to waste more time, So we entered the shop. All the equipment were neatly arranged and as we didn't know what to choose we went near what look like reception desk. There was no one there so I shouted.
"Hello is there someone here we need some help."-Shane
"Who is there ?"-shop owner
"Hello we are new adventures and would like some advice on what equipment to take.My name is Shane and he is my friend Mac"-Shane
"Hmpf! Are you also one of those travelers who came here. The business has boomed a little thanks to you guys but some of you are quite arrogant."- Shop owner
"Ah yes, We are travelers and before going to our first quest we wanted to upgrade our equipment but we don't know much about what would be best and we don't have a big budget."-Shane
"Quite honest aren't you. Go try those wooden sword for me."
As he told us we started swinging few different kinds of swords. After about 5 mins he told us to stop.
"For the half elf boy I recommend dual short swords he is quite robust and the longsword wouldn't suit him but for you any sword would work as although you are not quite robust as the elf boy you are the type who is quite dexterous but I would recommend something not too heavy as it would keep you more busy and the advantage you have over others would be wasted."-shop owner
After that he recommended us 3 sword and one dagger. There were all beautifully crafted and not too expensive but it would almost deplete all our budget.
"Although we went a little overboard with budget we would like to purchase them and could you recommend me some cooking pans to go well with this magic stove."

"Hmmm!!!!! Wait isn't this magic stove the one Gustavo used . How did you get it depending on your answers I would have to turn you to guards."-Shop owner
"No No No.... This certainly belongs to Gustavo-san but he gave it to me for my adventures when he met me so that I could get good food while on adventure. "-Shane
"That old geezer . It sounds like something he would do, he always used to have that beside him. When we didn't have enough space in our backpack for treasures he decided to part with treasures and kept the stove with him and rambled something about the joys of delicious food and how it would energize him. So you guys know him .Comeback here when you would need to maintain your weapons i would do it for free but keep it a secret."-shop owner
"We can't ask for you to do it for free it would burden our conciseness. " -Mac
"Hahahaha... certainely but don't think to much about it its not like when you would come here you wouldn't buy something new so it would benefit me too."-Shop owner
After paying we moved on and showed our guild card to the guard at gate would told us to be careful . As we already knew the general location of the herbs it didn't take us too long to gather the required amount. But I decided to get some more herbs and few herbs which could be used for cooking. Mac was swinging his dual swords to get used to them in the meantime. After gathering for a while I decided to prepare some food for us and try out the newly acquired pans.
I took out the meat and bread which was given to us as starting bonus. I first heated the meat and put few hers which i knew about to enhance its flavour and smell. As the bread was cold I decided to cut it up and heat it with butter which was a little expensive but i got it before coming here. Just as I completed my first sandwich I got the notice that I got the [Novice cook lvl 1] job and [cooking lvl 1] as well. I got excited over ir and decided to make sandwich and herb tea with all the ingredients we had. As a result I leveled up my [cooking skill ] to lvl 2 and the job was almost at lvl 2 too but I ran out of ingredients.
"Hey Shane stop. Although they taste good who would eat all this. You should not waste food"-Mac
"No it's not a waste we can store this in item box which although waste a bit of inventory will be helpful to us if we ever couldn't find anything to eat."-Shane
"Stop lying I doubt you won't cook when we get hungry and eating same thing would get boring. Honestly you went too overboard this time."-Mac
"I am sorry, I will be careful next time. Huh"-Shane
As I was about to keep the extra food inside the item box the plate which had the sandwich was empty, I checked my inventory just in case but there was nothing to be found . We couldn't find it anywhere and thought it might have despawned so we started heading towards the next location.When I heard something following us . It was hardly noticeable at first but as I grew conscious about it , It was certain that someone was following us. So I placed my hand on my sword and turned around quickly.
"Puru! purin pururin" - Slime
"Eh Why is a slime following us. Should I kill it"-Mac
"No wait it's so cute I don't want to kill it. It was following us for a while maybe from when we took a break to eat and didn't harm us. Did you eat the sandwiches ?"
"PURURU"-Slime
"Eh Why are you so proud about it."-Shane
"Puhahha. It certainly is cute but what should we do maybe he is one of the slimes Kitsune-san told us about who were causing trouble. "-Mac
"But she also said that they are non aggressive. Maybe there is a reason for it."-Shane
