The Start Part 3

As soon as Kuta recovered from his injuries Kuta and Shiro went to a blacksmith named Urashi Hou...

"Welcome Dear Customers, how can i help you today?" blacksmith Hou asked

"We would like to buy some equipments..." Shiro said

"What kind of equipments sir?" blacksmith Hou asked

"Is there an equipment that would only cost us 500 copper coins?" Shiro asked

"Ofcourse sir... but what kind of equipment sir? A sword? A dagger? or bow and arrow?" blacksmith Hou said

"How much will the sword be?" Kuta asked

"1 sword cost about 150 copper coins, so if both of you want a pair it would cost you 300 copper coins..." blacksmith Hou said

As they heard the price Kuta and Shiro excuse themselves and went to a corner to talk about on how will they budget the price...

"What now Shiro? the price is just to high for us to buy a sword and we still need to buy some armor..." Kuta said in concern

"Hmmm... what about if we just bought 1 sword and 1 dagger? I'll take the dagger and you'll take the sword..." Shiro said

"If that's what you want..." Kuta said

"Mr. Hou how much is the dagger?" Shiro asked

"It'll cost you 100 copper coins and I overheard that you needed some armor? I have here an armor but it'll only cover up some parts of your body... and it'll cost 150 each..." blacksmith Hou said

"A 150 copper coins and it'll only cover up one body part? That's too expensive" Shiro said in shock

"Shiro if you want you don't have to buy me an armor, weapon is enoug" Kuta said

"No, we both should have an armor..." Shiro said

"But we don't have enough money to buy an armor for both of us" Kuta said in concern...

"You're right... I know that you're right but what if something happened and we didn't have an armor? The injury we might receive could be fatal because of lack of tools..." Shiro said

"Sorry for the intrusion sir but if we combine the cost of every equipment that you need it will be 550 copper coins in total... and 50 copper coins is not that big of a deal so I'll give to you as a gift for your first adventure, Hows that?" blacksmith Hou said with a smile...

"But sir..." Shiro said in concern

"It's okay as I told you 50 copper coins is nothing the imoortant thing here is that you are buying in my shop even though there are plenty more shop nex door" blacksmith hou said...

"Thank you very much sir... I won't forget your kindness and one day I will repay my debt to you" Shiro said as he bow down to the blacksmith

"Lift your head young man actually there is another reason... you see I was once an adventurer I started adventuring with my friends as the same age as you two... I just remeber that when we feiends don't have enough money the smith gave us a discount... so it is like I'm doing what he have done to us too... so no need to take it at heart..." blacksmith said with a smile

"No sir I couldn't actually not take it at heart you kindness will stay in my heart... and if you wouldn't mind may I ask you something?" Shiro said

"I don't mind... what is it?" blacksmith Hou said

"How does it feel doing an adventure?" Shiro asked with a sparkling eyes

"How does it feel? Hmmm... I guess it was the most fun things that have happened to my life... doing an adventure with your friends risking your life for each other caring and many more things that I can't count how many... the two of you just remember this having an adventure with your love ones is the most happiest thing that you will receive in this world..." blacksmith said with he's biggest smile...

"Wow" Kuta and Shiro said woth enthusiasm

"Okay let's stop here and I'll prepare the equipmenta that you've ask" blacksmith Hou said as he went inside and to take the equipments...

Hours have past and the blacksmith has finally returned...

"Sorry took me too long" blacksmith Hou said ashamed

"It's okay sir you don't be ashamed we are not in a hurry anyway" Shiro said with a smile

"Okay, here are are the equipments that you need" blacksmith Hou said

"Thank you sir" Shiro said and handed over the payment

As they were about to leave the blacksmith called them out...

"Wait!" blacksmith Hou shouted

"Yes sir?" Kuta and Shiro asked

"I want you to take this" blacksmith Hou said and handed it over

"What is this sir?" Shiro asked

"That is a space bag" blacksmith Hou said

"Space bag? What is that?" Kuta said in confusion

"It's just a small pouch" Shiro said

"What!? you don't know what a space bag is? And you want to be an adventurer without knowing simple thing?" blacksmith said as he put his hand in his forehead...

"Well..." Shiro said ashamed

"Can't be helped" blacksmith said

"So what is a space bag?" Kuta asked

"A space bag is an item where you can put items as the name suggest it has a big space inside but still has a limt" blacksmith Hou said

"What? but how?" Shiro said

"Ugh... just let me show you... bring out your sword and put it in the space bag and you'll understand what I'm trying to say here" blacksmith Hou said as he assist the two...

" Wow!! It really fit inside and even though we put all our belongis inside it's not heavy at all" Shiro and Kuta said amazed

"Now you get what I mean?" blacksmith said

"Yeah definitely" Shiro and Kuta said amazed

"But as I stated awhile ago it still has a limit" blacksmoth Hou said

"But why are you giving it to us... this kind of items might be so expensive" Shiro said...

"It's okay I don't have any use of it now anyway" blacksmith said

"If you say so... and again thank you very much Mr. Hou I don't know how to repay you again but I will keep it as long as I... we live" Shiro said as he bow down again

"I told you I don't have any use of it..." blacksmith Hou said as he feel shy

"Then we'll take our leave... thank you again Mr. Hou" Shiro said as he bow down

"Ohh wait! I forgot to give you this" blacksmith Hou said and hand it over

"A bracelet?" Kuta said

"Yes... my wife made it and I want you both to have some... she said it will give you some luck to your adventure" blacksmith Hou said as he wave to say good bye...

As they were done buying the things they need they both eent to Shiro's house...

"Mom I'm back" Shiro said

"Welcome back Shiro" Hiyori Mayu said and greets him

"Good evening Aunt Mayu" Kuta said as he puts his head down

"Kuta long time no see... Shiro!! Why didn't you tell me Kuta will be come here" Mrs. Mayu said as she shouts at Shiro

"Honey! What's happening here" Mr. Hiyori Lash said as he checked what is happening

"Good Evening Uncle Lash" Kuta said and puts his head down

"Kuta!! What a surprise that you came to visit" Uncle Lash said

Shiro hit Kuta's back and said...

"Lift up your head Kuta" Shiro said

"But... I don't know how to face your family" Kuta said in low voice

"It's fine look at them they are just happy to see you again" Shiro said with a smile

"O-okay..." Kuta said

"You two are just in time for dinner, come Kuta join us" Aunt Mayu said

"N-no need I better go I can cook some for dinner when I get home" Kuta said

As Kuta about to leave Shiro holds his shirt and pull him to the dining area...

"You are going to eat here, sleep here cauz we are going to leave early in the morning" Shiro said as he was still pulling Kuta to the kitchen

As they are about to reach the dining area Aunt Mayu has already finished preparing for dinner and everyone takes their seat and started eating...

"So how are you Kuta?" Uncle Lash asked as he sip the soup

"I'm good Uncle" Kuta said

"Kuta... why are you not touching your food? Better eat or you'll never leave the here until you finish eating" Aunt Mayu said with a scary face and threatening voice

"Y-yes Auntie...*Aunt really is as scary as ever*" Kuta said and started eating

"Isn't my moms cooking delicious" Shiro said with a sparkling smile

"It is but she is so scary" Kuta said

"What did you say?" Aunt Mayu said threatening

"N-nothing Auntie... I just said that your cooking is so delicious and you are so beautiful" Kuta said while trembling

"Ohh is that so... i thought you said I'm scary" Aunt said with a scary smile

"Why would I say that" Kuta said

"But your mommy Shizuka is more skilled and beatiful than I am" Aunt said

As he heard her mentioned her name he suddenly lost his appetite and left
