"Kid You sure are something," Barry says, who seem to like Akatosh's motives.

"Hard to say, I'm quite enjoying this."

"Curious, what are you going to do with the other one?" Barry reply looking at the gauntlet.

"I'll give this to some of these people," Akatosh says, also looking at the gauntlet thinking he should give it to Reith since he had one hell of a strength.

"I see… though let me check if this elven steel should suffice."

Following their conversation both of them, literary brought out every ingot from the chest counting.

"27, 28, 29, 30,31… Whoa, you sure are one lucky finder." Says Barry.

"Thinks so… So, will this suffice," Akatosh says, but somehow worried in a foul shop.

"Yep, I just need 8 ingots for making this gauntlet, anything you want?" Says Barry

Upon looking at his face Akatosh can tell Barry was more into crafting the item rather than being an unjust person to his customers.

"Sei if you would." Akatosh calls towards Sei busy searching the shop.

"One more thing could you repair this," Akatosh says to Barry showing him the elven-steel sword.

Barry inspects the sword for just a couple of seconds. "Well to think this is one heck of a treasure you just found. You must have done something that gains the favor of the 'goddess of luck and fortune'. I just need to change the handle, and a little bit of sharpening will bring this old sword back to its glory."

"I pray that would be true." Akatosh smile.

"Is this all, it might be a good chance to make something out of these eleven ingots. It would be a waste if they all just remain a box of steel?" Barry says smiling.

"Why not." Akatosh smile bringing out books and quill, and once he had prepared his things, he initially drafts a blueprint of a sword.

The knowledge that Akatosh had learned greatly affects his life. And for that, he put his past knowledge to good use.

While sketching the equipment, Chifya together with Sheila and her friends started to take notice as they too search for something relevant.

"This one unknown sword you just requested." Barry was confused looking at the sketch Akatosh had made a 'Katan' to be exact. It was richly detailed from the bottom to the tip even the 'Saya' (scabbard).

"What are these?" Barry says pointing out the numbers.

"Oh, my bad. That is my past world language, I mean my country's language." Akatosh says, explaining the numbers.

It took Akatosh minutes to explain the sword and its algorithms. He even went as far as to explain the length of the katana, its width, its curving point, its handguard, the handle, etc.

"What do you call this?" Barry says, fiddling his chin.

Akatosh smiled. "Well, it's called Katana."

"Katana?"

"Yep… So how much do you think all of these cost--"

"Well, the size of the elven steel and the measurements of the sword… I think I could use as much as 7 ingots." Barry says cutting Akatosh's words.

"Seven?"

"Yeah."

"I see, so how much."

"Well, a gauntlet that would be 15 silver Shar."

(Note: Shar the name of the money/coin that derives from the Goddess Sharum, the goddess of Luck and Fortune)

"Repairing the sword would cost 50 coppers. As for the Katana, I'd say, 17 silver Shar a total of 32 silver and 50 copper."

Sei and his companion were shocked by the price they heard it was a surely steep prize. But somehow Akatosh was calm. Dipping his pocket jeans, Akatosh slides one gold coin on the table. They were all surprised upon bringing out a gold coin.

"Mm-hmm, how long does it take you to finished these all?"

"Well, it would take me just a minute to fix the sword, melting elven steel not to mention a magical one that would take me a day. I would say come back after three days."

"Three days? That's good enough… Well, then I'll soon be back." Akatosh smile.

Right after Akatosh and Barrys' business Sheila and her companions came with something.

"Mister how much are these," Sheila said to Barry.

Akatosh can see some are weapons and equipment, some shields, swords, and utensils.

"These things cost nine silvers." Barry reply.

Before Sheila could pay the cost. "Can you deduct with mine?" Akatosh says to Barry giving him a sign not to accept Sheila's coin.

Barry smiled realizing what Akatosh is thinking. "That would be 41 silver Shar then."

"You know… you couldn't have to pay for those things." Sheila was embarrassed, she was late in bringing out her pouch.

"Am I not a friend?" Akatosh ignores her word and at the same time silencing her for a while.

After saying goodbye to Barry, the party all walk out the exit. Outside the shop, before they could make way towards the market, Akatosh forgot something.

"I forgot something. Guys, can you wait for me here it won't take too long." Akatosh implore.

The door rang. "Welcome what can I-- oh, it's you."

"Sorry, I forgot something…"

Bringing out the worn armor that he once bought to him. Barry could see how brutally the armor was damaged.

"Just what had you been through all for the past days. Did you have a beef with golems?" Barry shrugs in disbelief.

"Well, something like this and something like that"

Barry sigh in fatigue. "This might take a while to repair this."

"Well, I've got something in mind." Akatosh smiles towards Barry.

Upon seeing Akatosh's smug face, smiling in sensation Barry already knows what he's thinking.

"Let me guess, want me to replace it with this elven-steel."

"Right you are." Akatosh was trembling in rhapsody.

"I need 12 Elven steels, and the cost would be 20 Silver."

"Make it 19."

"Well, fine 19 it is." For the first time, Barry was shocked to see him haggle.

"I haven't seen Linda for a while," Akatosh says, giving him the coin.

"She went to the mage academy with her aunt."

"Mage academy?"

"Yes, not Maginum but there at Keshoval, an academy about magic and stuff. The school, however, might not be as great as Maginum."

"I understand. But if she comes home to tell her my greetings."

Barry smile. "I will."

After Akatosh and Barry are nearly done with their conversation. Sheila saw a group of people wearing a hooded cloak hiding their faces, they were six of them as they enter the shop Sheila together with her friends couldn't help but somehow worried.

After saying Akatosh's last word to Barry. And the moment he turns around, a group of six people in cloak-hood enters the shop.

"Welcome." Like always, says Barry.

Feeling a discord atmosphere Akatosh was a surprise. As he walks out, they make way for him to exit. The moment right after passing the hooded group, one of the people notice something from Akatosh. But he didn't bother instead to continue walking towards Barry.

Slowly as Akatosh opens the door he took a glimpse when they unhood. A handsome man is younger than Akatosh and has four beautiful lasses that seem to be closer to him. One was an elf while the other three were human and the last person was an old man.

Akatosh slowly closes the door, thinking that these are some bunches of adventurers, but some say otherwise.
