=========================================
We have walked for 20 minutes. As expected from the dwarf kingdom, this place is full of rare materials. From armors to the jewelleries, they have everything that crafted in here. I just can’t help myself from not looking here and there. Kena and Lila are having a hard time to keep me from being lost. Not to mention the twins that keep lured by the materials sellers…They both are really busy keeping us from getting lost.
“Rare Black Basilisk’s fang! Only twenty silver for each!”
“Black Basilisk!”(Perika)
“White trigo’s wings! Only one gold for each!”
“Trigo’s wings!”(Parika)
“Rare!Rare! Rainbow stone from the deepes-”
“WE WANT TO BUY!!”(Twins)
You see what I mean? They both stuck from store to store!
“These griffons are only 35 gold! Breed in a high level farm, they were raised and feed with the high quality food! These soft feathers and firm claws, they are raised with the utmost care!”
“Can it be eaten?”(Mark)
“Eh?”
“Can I fry it?”(Mark)
“Dear costumer, breeding and raising a griffon is difficult task. They live by eating magic stones, that’s why their feathers are full of mana and have a great resistantce toward magic attack and high endurance”
“Would soaking it in black sauces, then covering it in thick flour, can be deep fried”(Mark)
“D-dear customer? This good quality griffon...to be end up as a food is a little bit…”
“Just fry it after being marinated also seems good”(Mark)
“L-like I said dear customer, this griffon is-”
The old dwarf seller seems to be troubled by Mark. Walking toward the nearest griffon, Mark is feeling their muscle.
“The meat also seems to be firm”(Mark)
Seeing this, the seller just lost his composure.
“D-don’t yer eyeing my griffon with yer stinky dirty eyes! These baby ar’ not yer to eaaaattt!!!”
….You are fine with it being used as weapon material but not to be eaten? What is wrong with this seller!? Also, he accidently drop his formal speech
“That is no good Mark-mark”(Perika)
Perika suddenly interrupt
“Un! The rare breed griffons are supposed to be weapon and armour material”(Parika)
Added Parika
“A food can only fill you for a moment!”(Perika)
“But a good weapon and armor can fill you for life!”(Parika)
Said the twins looking in trance
“It just like little’ missy said!”
The seller is agreeing to them. Mark then looking at the twins with irritated face.
“Even a great food can fill your heart and soul!”(Mark)
“Food will disappear fast!”(Parika)
“If you keep them too long, it will be spoiled!”(Perika)
Oi, the seller over there! Don’t just stand there and nod as if the twins has made some great argument!
“Don’t you know that food can be preserved for a long time? Even Crev understood the greatness of the food! Right Crev?”(Mark)
Wh-wait! Don’t drag me into this!
“Crev promised to teach me on how to keep food stay longer! He understand the importance of food as much as I do!”(Mark)
Mark, you can just use the item bag that Shena gave you! And also, I never heard of that promise you spoken of!
“Talk all you want! Can’t you see how much Crev was mesmerized by this town’s beautiful armours?”(Parika)
“And weapons! He’ll definitely understand us more than stupid cooking!”(Perika)
“No way! Crev understand me better right?”(Mark)
“No! You understand us better, right?”(Twins)
“Please let me stay out of this!”(Rune/Crev)
This feeling…. A de javù…. Somehow I feel like we have similar conversation a few months ago….
“This is an important matter Crev!”(Mark)
“Right-right! Critical matter!”(Twins)
What’s so critical about this?!
“I’m just a child you know?! Spare me from your pointless fight!”(Rune/Crev)
“P-pointless….”(Mark)
“...How cruel….”(Perika)
“Very, very cruel….”(Parika)
Wh-what? Why are you guys looking at me as if I’m the bad guy here?!
“Heartless youn’ lass”
Even the old dwarf seller?!! (>_< ‘)
Ignoring the depressed me, the twins and Mark resumes their fighting.
“Food is better!”(Mark)
“No! Armours are better!”(Parika)
“No! Weapons are better!”(Perika)
“Food!”(Mark)
“Weapons!”(Perika)
“Armours!”(Parika)
You three, please stop causing a scene with your childish fight! There are onlookers starting to gather you know?
“You can talk like that at this moment! Once it’s midday, you two will come to me for food!”(Mark)
“Guh! W-we can survive without food!”(Perika)
“We hold record of five days five night without food before we end up collapsed!”(Parika)
Why do you seem so proud about that?!
“Idiot! You can die because of starvation!”(Mark)
Exactly!
“Five day huh, back in my ol’ day, I could stand seven days without eating and sleeping!”
The old dwarf seller suddenly comments with a proud face.
Seriously! Once again, that isn’t something you should be proud of! Take care of your own body old man! Also, those two girls over there, stop admiring the old man! You two should also learn how to take care of your own body too!
...Somehow I’m mentally tired…
“I never thought I would meet the Winlterwod’s sisters here, How’s yer old man?”
The old dwarf suddenly changes the topic of the conversation
“Gone missing!-”(Parika)
“-As usual!”(Perika)
Said the twins with cheerfully….how can they say that with content smile on their face?!
“Probably hunting!”(Parika)
“-somewhere with Mom!”(Perika)
“Hahahahahaha! That ol’ piece of block just don’t change! People, the Winlterwod sister is here!”
As the old dwarf yells with his loud voice, the onlooker seems starting to recognize Perika and Parika
“Oh! It’s the Winlterwod sisters!”
“So that’s why their faces seem so familiar!”
“They are coming back?”
“Is it for the competition?”
“Their weapon last time was magnificent!”
“I want to see their handmade armours!”
“We cheer on you guys!”
“Good luck!”
Perika and Parika start to push their chest with proud look
“Wha-? They both are so small!”
“Is that their friends?”
“They er’ so tiny!”
“That birdwoman have small hips and thin body”
“The other girl is also tiny!”
This time, Kena is looking flattered and taking a pose on purpose while Lila seems embarrassed as she is hiding behind Kena’s back
“Ugly”
W-who said that?!
“Who said that!?” (Kena)
Kena’s voice overlapped with my thought. From posing, now she’s ready to punch to whom has called her with the taboo word.
Although Kena and Lila aren’t my type, they both can be considered as a that rarely seen beauty. Kena have those tomboyish and almost look like handsome man, while Lila have that cute and shy small girl feeling.
By the way, my type are young, small, innocent, smart but cute and a bit shy-.....wait, doesn’t that actually makes Lila my type?
…..Huh? How come I never realize that before? Also, although my type is right in front of me, my heart doesn’t go doki-doki at all.
Is it because now I’m a woman too?
If you come across this story on Amazon, it's taken without permission from the author. Report it.
....Or is it because I have a traumatic experience from being dress up doll by her? Or the fact that Lila sometimes looking scary as she read those adult book?
….Now I think about it, the fact that she boldly read adult story means she isn’t that innocent at all right? If it so, she isn’t in my type category. The girl have to be innocent, cute and shy! That three are the important factor! Oh, and kind, committed, can cook, can take care children, good at cleani-...*cough*somehow I get trailed off in the middle…
Well, no need to think hard about it now. It might also be because I’m just a child at the moment. I read in the book once in my previous life about how a child have no awareness or interest about adult romantic relationship because their lack of knowledge and undeveloped hormones. Their like and love to opposite gender are different from those of an adult’s.
Yep, that must be because of that.
I’m just an (almost) eight years old child after all.
“K-kena, please stoooopppp”(Lila)
Lila is looks desperate as she’s trying to stop Kena.
Yup, I still think she’s cute...but no other feeling than that.
“Even if the twins have strong arms, they are after all still an ugly with no good point who can only smith like a slime”
The same voice talks nastily. And now, the battle axe and hammer should be flying about...Huh? No flying gigantic weapon?
Surprisingly, both the twins keep quite and not get aggressive as usual.
On contrary, Kena actually snap at those last words. She drags Lila’s body and run towards the voice. But before she reach the crowd, a butcher knife is flying passes her at great speed. It land right next to the voice owner’s feet.
“Hiiiii!”
Since the crowd disperse around the knife, we can see clearly the person that keep giving nasty comment.
It was a younger dwarf man, with a red hair and mustaches. From his clothes, it seems he is a blacksmith like the twins.
“...My hand slipped?”(Mark)
No, you are not! There is no way that thing is slipped from your hand! You has clearly thrown itttt!!!! Also, why the question mark at the end of your sentence?!
The stunned crowd suddenly take Mark’s knife and inspect it
“The knife’s really sharp!”
“E-eh?”(Mark)
“It stuck at the ground neatly!”
“W-wait, where are you taking-”(Mark)
“It have smooth figure!!”
“H-hold on there!”(Mark)
“Is it also Winlterwod’s craft?”
“You people! Stop!”(Mark)
Mark voice is sinking from the crowd as he sounds more and more panicked.
The crowd is inspecting the knife, taking it more and more far away from our position...until it’s no longer in our sight
“No! Tariiiiiiiiiiiiii!!!!!!!”(Mark)
Mark calls out his knife name as he run for it. And he’s gone with the crowd.
As we got distracted for a moment, the red haired dwarf is trying to escape slowly, but get caught by Kena.
“Where do you think you’re going?”(Kena)
Her smile is scary.
“S-shut up ugly bird woman! You’re just a woman! And you two shouldn’t have won that tournament! You shouldn’t even had the permit to enter! You two are just a tiny girls! I should have won that tournament! Me!”
Said the dwarf looking desperate as he’s looking towards the twins with anger in his face. On contrast, the twins tilt their head in sync
“....Who?”(Twins)
“It is me! You don’t remember?! Semi-final? It is the great me!”
“...???”(Twins)
“Aaarrrggg! It’s me! It’s me!”
“...Your name is ‘me’?”(Perika)
I’m not so sure, but the dwarf sounds like a con-man from the telephone at the moment.
“The gold handle sword! Remember?! Semi-final at the tournament five years ago?!”
“Ah!”(Parika)
“The ugly sword!”(Perika)
“G-guh?! U-ugly…”
“Crude!”(Parika)
“Ack!”
“Rugged!”(Perika)
“Gwack!”
“Lumpy and rough”(Parika)
“The only good about it is the handle, and only because it is gold”(Perika)
“Yup, gold are useful to buy ingredients”(Parika)
“Aside from that, weak”(Perika)
“Really, really, really, reaaaallllyyyy~~~ weak sword!”(Parika)
“Un! It is a question on how it passes the first eliminations!”(Perika)
“A junk!”(Twins)
“Aaagghhhhh!!!”
C-cruel! Althought I dislike this guy, but the twins’ commenst are really cruel! The dwarf guy took critical mental damage from their comments and coughs blood.
“Since the twins have passed their punishment, now it is my turn to pass judgment on you~”(Kena)
As she said that, Kena claws up that guy’s head
“The Divine Punishment - [Iron Claw]!!!”(Kena)
“Aaaaaaaaarrrrrrgggggg!”
That isn’t a skill right? That’s just gripping that guy’s head with a very strong grip!
And that look really painful….
Rest in peace shorty that I don’t know the name of…
“U-uffh...y-you and your sister! You two are ugly as a goblin! You traitors!”
The dwarf ran as he yells his last words before disappearing into the crowd
“Let me run and give him the [Double Iron Claw] divine punishment, and then throw him up into the sky several times before I drop him dead”(Kena)
“No need”(Parika)
“Just leave it”(Perika)
The twins said with wry smiles.
Something about that man’s words bothers me…
What did he mean ‘traitors’?

[Mark’s pov]
That was a close call! I almost lose my precious knife from the crowd
“I won’t throw you randomly again Tari”(Mark)
I trace my precious butcher knife with a gentleness that of a father.
Yup, with this sharpness, it could cut meat like a butter! My comrade in kitchen...my precious-
“Those ugly wh*re! Why did they come back?! They should just die! That useless Winlterwod twi-”
I unconsciously swung my sharp knife towards the unpleasant guy that keep hurting my ears with his yapping.
“Hiiiii?!!”
I cut his beard into half. Ah, it’s that guy from before. Now he have hand print over his face.
Why….did I? This guy, he keeps making me irritated.
“.........”(Mark)
Although I was in the wrong from suddenly cutting his beard, but somehow I don’t want to apologize.
“Y-you! You are with those twins! The one that throws the knife!”
“A-a…”(Mark)
I answer him awkwardly
“Just mind your own business sonny! And keep those wild ugly women in check will ya’? Or you and your knives will not survive he-Gack!”
He yelps as I suddenly slam my elbow toward his neck and pin him down to the wall.
“Ga…...ack”
I’m really angry now. *sigh* I just don’t care anymore, what ever happen, happen…
“Next time you talk with that mouth, I will use this knife to cut you into tiny little pieces and cook you into side dish”(Mark)
He grew pale over my threat as I walk back to where the others are. That shorty really is annoying.
