9. War Maiden
Let's ignore the so-called cultivation and the like...... Lynn's physical fitness is already far beyond that of ordinary adults, and fishing with such physical ability is actually the same as a person in his thirties being registered for a youth championship.
“GetDA☆ZE~”
"Oh oh, sister, you're so tired~ another one......"
"Yes, I've spent a lot of nets and only picked up two, my sister is really amazing......"
Not far away, Aisha looked at Rin, who had been worshiped as a god by a group of children, and secretly glad that she had only changed two fishing nets for Lin before—didn't you see that the boss on one side had already started biting the handkerchief?
Lin, who was immersed in the excitement of catching fish, suddenly felt a sad gaze, and immediately understood who the owner of this gaze was. If you think about it carefully, you have already caught (7) fish in two nets, and it is indeed a bit too ostentatious to catch them. So Lynn deliberately shook her hand so that the net was broken by the struggling fish—and the fish that had been fished out of the water fluttered and jumped into the water amid the lamentation of a group of children.
"Your sister...... It's amazing. ”
The boss looked at Lin who distributed the spoils to the children around him painfully, and said to Aisha, who was also watching from the sidelines.
"That's natural, but it's my sister, after all. ”
"I don't think you're locals, have you? I've never seen you two sisters in Nazca, so there's no reason why a girl as conspicuous as you would forget after seeing it......"
"Even if you live in the city, how many of them are 'locals'?" Aisha glanced at the boss's waist, "Anyway, I never knew that the people of Nazca City were so strong, and even the owners of fish stalls carried weapons with them......"
"This year...... It's not easy to beg for food......" The boss was stunned, but he didn't continue on this topic.
Seeing that the other party was silent about this, Aisha had no intention of continuing.
"Really...... However, if you are used to holding a two-handed sword, is there really no problem with this kind of small dagger? If it is just for self-defense, I personally feel that maybe two bricks may be better. ”
The boss stared at Aisha in amazement, and then followed Aisha's gaze to his hands: "Have you been betrayed by the cocoon? Little girl, your eyes are really vicious, ordinary people don't care about such details of a fishing boss, right?"
"I think...... Actually, Lynn must have already discovered this, right?"
"......" looked at the young figure for a long time, and the boss said helplessly: "You sisters...... It's really special. Speaking of which, did you come to Nazca City because of the trade fair?"
"yes, I'm going to sell some small things in exchange for living expenses...... Uncle, do you have any suggestions, for example, is there a fair place to buy magic items, or is there any place where it's relatively easy to find some unpopular materials?"
"You really think of me...... the boss thought about it carefully, and said that he couldn't do anything, "although I do know a few things that meet your criteria...... But honestly, I don't recommend a little girl like you go, I think you know what I mean, right?"
Aisha blinked, a little surprised by the unexpected kindness of the other party, although she wanted to say that with her own ability, she would not encounter danger, but since her boss, who was a stranger, gave her some kindness, Aisha did not want to ruin the other party's kindness.
"It's okay, thank you for your kindness, anyway, I was here for the trade rally in a few days, but I just had to wait two more days......" Aisha gave up her intention to continue asking, and after thinking about it, she asked the boss another question, "So, the high-quality weapons shop in Nazca City, can you tell me which one it is?"
"Weapons, if I'm not mistaken, you and your sister aren't warriors, do you? and I don't think you can afford those enchanted ones...... Anyway, what are you two girls going to do when you two go buy weapons?"
"You're really a curious uncle, it's really dangerous if it's not a cat......" Aisha looked helplessly at the other party who was full of curiosity, "Although it's not impossible to tell you, in fact, I didn't buy 'weapons', but bought 'raw materials' - the trade secret told you, can you exempt me from the money for two fishing nets?"
"Of course not~"

"Wet sauce, where are we going next?"
Seeing that Aisha did not continue to walk towards the downtown area with her, but walked towards a relatively remote street, Lin asked with some curiosity. It seems that Aisha is going here with a purpose.
"We just got word from the enthusiastic boss about the best weapons shop in the city, so we're going to go there and buy some 'raw materials' for processing. Aisha said as she suddenly looked at Lynn's chest.
Being stared at by Aisha, Lin also felt a little shy.
"Wet sauce! Where are you looking!"
"Uh...... I'm just wondering if I need to make some magic props for you to defend yourself......" In order to cover up her behavior, Aisha pretended to be innocent, "but then I think about it, it seems that I spoil you too much, and it's not good to come......"
"Okay, I'm not so delicate, I'm thinking too much about wet sauce~"
[It's good that I didn't notice it...... Anyway, I was really a little out of shape just now. 】
Aisha secretly rejoiced, fortunately she usually scored the "pretending" skill very high, and didn't show Lin anything.
[I remember that Mochi should be quite good at using swords, right?But looking at her thoughts, it seems that she doesn't want to influence Lin too much, and tries her best to avoid affecting Lin's growth, ......right? Forget it, since she doesn't want Lin to follow her old path, then I should not know anything......]
Compared to Rin, the psychological burden on the mochi side is heavier - Aisha guesses that it may be because of her past life, and subconsciously thinks that she is a more incompetent type of person who will drag her feet, and it is normal to think that the impact on Lin may not be good...... All in all, it is also a heart disease that takes time to slowly heal.
"Wet sauce, you said it's 'buying raw materials'...... Are you planning to buy some ordinary weapons, enchant them, and sell them at the rally?"
"Yes, although I just plan to make some ordinary finished products, but if its original quality is relatively good, the corresponding price increase after enchantment is also more objective...... Ah, here it is, this should be it, right?"
Aisha walked to the front of a shop called "War Girl" and stopped.
Anyway, it doesn't seem to be as bustling and lively as expected, and the storefront is also relatively simple - but on second thought, it's night, and no one will really pick the night to buy weapons, and the weapon shop is not a hotel restaurant after all, and shopping around for weapons is basic, more important than the store or the quality of the goods.
"Looks like it's still open, right?"
Aisha pushed open the door of the store, and Lin followed Aisha inside.
"Hmm!"
Lynn's form shuddered suddenly.
"Lynn, what's wrong with you, is there anything uncomfortable?" Seeing Lynn's strange appearance, Aisha hurriedly stepped forward to support Rin.
"Ah, it's actually nothing, it's just that Mochi suddenly got a little excited just now...... It's rare to see her say so excitedly...... Is it over there?"
Following Mochi's guidance, Lin and Aisha walked over to an ordinary-looking long sword.
I don't know what it is, but just now I suddenly felt a very strange resonance, which I had never felt like this when I was a human in the past...... Anyway, I don't know very well!]
"Lynn, don't move that sword. ”
Aisha suddenly reached out and stopped Lynn.
"Perversity must be demonic...... Generally speaking, the weapon represents never a good omen, if there is any wonderful connection with the weapon, it is better to be careful, and try not to believe in such a thing as picking up a dusty divine weapon. ”
Aisha looked at the dull-colored sword with a solemn face: "Mochi is now a half-spirit, to put it more directly, the inherent attributes contain more 'death' and 'negativity'...... You two are still a little too impulsive, right?
[Right...... I'm sorry ......]
It was Mochi who reacted more violently, after all, it was she who found and guided Rin, and at this moment, Aisha said that she also felt a chill.
"Uh, Wet Sauce, you don't have to blame Mochi, she didn't actually mean it......"
Lin hurriedly defended the mochi.
"It's like I'm a very vicious old woman......" Looking at the two of them (?) with a worried look, Aisha always felt as if she was being treated as a certain Daming Lake's grandmother, "I don't want to blame you, after all, everyone has some kind of inexplicable affection for weapons, your behavior is actually very normal, the reason why I am not very happy is ...... The owner of this shop has put a weapon buried with a vicious curse on the shelves, and you should give me some explanation, sir?"
Aisha looked at the shopkeeper with a wry smile as she walked down the stairs behind her.
