Miara
Miara
Claim!
She lays down on the bed and slept without care.
One night passed, The next morning.
Someone knocked at the door.
Lena (Inn Keeper)
Lena (Inn Keeper)
Miss! Miss!
Miara stood up and opened the door.
Miara
Miara
Yes?
Lena (Inn Keeper)
Lena (Inn Keeper)
Are you okay? There was a burglar last night, good thing that the patrol knights found him and took him to the court.
Lena (Inn Keeper)
Lena (Inn Keeper)
Is anything missing on you, Miss?
Lena (Inn Keeper)
Lena (Inn Keeper)
Please check your things.
Miara
Miara
Thanks for worrying but nothing is missing, I wasn't carrying anything else other than beef jerky and water anyway.
Lena (Inn Keeper)
Lena (Inn Keeper)
Phew! That's a good thing.
Lena (Inn Keeper)
Lena (Inn Keeper)
Oh, And a letter came today in the mail for you, Miss.
Lena (Inn Keeper)
Lena (Inn Keeper)
Here.
The Innkeeper handed it over, So Miara took it and opened it, sure enough it was the letter for the job interview.
Miara
Miara
Yes! I passed the screening!
Lena (Inn Keeper)
Lena (Inn Keeper)
Did you... apply for the position of a maid in the inner palace by any chance, Miss?
Miara
Miara
I did, Why? Is there a problem?
Lena (Inn Keeper)
Lena (Inn Keeper)
Well, Rumors are going around saying that the Imperial family doesn't like impostors and impersonating the late princess, so you better dye your hair since you might go to jail for impersonating the late princess.
Miara
Miara
Oh, This? I'm natural, I have this hair color since birth.
Miara plucked one of her hair to prove it.
Miara
Miara
See? My hair is not dyed, It's natural.
Lena (Inn Keeper)
Lena (Inn Keeper)
But still, you better be careful, Miss. As I've said earlier many have been sent to jail and some even died for impersonating the late princess.
Miara
Miara
I heard you, but there's no way they would have mistaken me as there daughter, After all, I'm not trying to impersonate anyone, I'm just being me.
Miara
Miara
Well, I know that Magic is a thing, but I'm not a Magician nor a Witch, I'm a Healer.
The Innkeeper was shocked by what she heard.
Lena (Inn Keeper)
Lena (Inn Keeper)
M-my lady... You're a healer?!
Miara
Miara
I am, Why?
Lena (Inn Keeper)
Lena (Inn Keeper)
Healers are very rare class, I haven't even seen one in my entire life.
Miara
Miara
You've seen one now, Woo.
Lena (Inn Keeper)
Lena (Inn Keeper)
My lady, you shouldn't go around saying you're a healer, Many may target you and use you for gains.
Miara
Miara
Don't worry, I'm not someone arrogant who would flaunt there class.
Lena (Inn Keeper)
Lena (Inn Keeper)
Yes, but still never ever tell anyone about your class.
Miara
Miara
Alright, I will. Thanks for worrying about me.
Lena (Inn Keeper)
Lena (Inn Keeper)
I'm Lena Valentina by the way, and you?
Miara
Miara
Miara, No last name, I'm a commoner.
Lena (Inn Keeper)
Lena (Inn Keeper)
My father is a Merchant, So I have a last name, It's a Pleasure to meet you Miara.
Miara
Miara
Pleasure is all mine, Lena.
Lena (Inn Keeper)
Lena (Inn Keeper)
Oh! And we are serving pasta and salad today, would you like to come down and eat?
Miara

While walking on the street, She entered the nearest shop while being distracted.
Remer (Shopkeeper)
Remer (Shopkeeper)
Welcome!
He said as he flexes his muscles.
It was the Dragon Armor Shop

Remer (Shopkeeper)
Huh? What brings someone as delicate as you to my humble shop?

Ah... Um...
Remer (Shopkeeper)
Remer (Shopkeeper)
I respect my lady's exceptional taste!
Remer (Shopkeeper)
Remer (Shopkeeper)
What would you like to buy?
The Shopkeeper said with a smile and encouraging expression.
Miara
Miara
Do you have a set of dagger and a small sword? Just arm length.
Remer (Shopkeeper)
Remer (Shopkeeper)
Hm? Can you please try swinging this sword?
Miara
Miara
Why?
Remer (Shopkeeper)
Remer (Shopkeeper)
So I would know what kind of dagger and short sword would fit you.
Miara
Miara
Oh! okay.
Miara swung the sword up and swiftly swung it down which causes the surrounding dust to fly on the air.
Miara
Miara
Oops, Sorry.
Remer (Shopkeeper)
Remer (Shopkeeper)
It's okay, it's okay.
Remer (Shopkeeper)
Remer (Shopkeeper)
HAHAHAHA
He turned around and opened a box.
Remer (Shopkeeper)
Remer (Shopkeeper)
I think this would fit you.
He took out a small box with daggers inside and another box with a short sword.
Miara
Miara
Ohh Wow.
Remer (Shopkeeper)
Remer (Shopkeeper)
The short sword can become a long sword if you apply a small amount of MANA and the daggers can change shape too using a small amount of MANA depending on what you want it to change into.
Remer (Shopkeeper)
Remer (Shopkeeper)
Try them.
Miara first tried shooting the dagger at the wall and it hit right in deeply.
Miara
Miara
Not bad.
She then tried to swing the sword around.
Miara
Miara
Woah, this one is so light, do you have more of the daggers, How much for all of this?
Remer (Shopkeeper)
Remer (Shopkeeper)
10 gold coins.
Miara
Miara
Hm? No discount?
Remer (Shopkeeper)
Remer (Shopkeeper)
I'll give you a 10% discount if you come again.
Miara
Miara
Sure, I still want more of the daggers, Can you make like dozens of daggers that's the same with this?
Remer (Shopkeeper)
Remer (Shopkeeper)
Ohh, I think that would be hard but if you want a dozen, you have to wait for a few more weeks.
Miara put 10 gold coins on the counter.
Remer (Shopkeeper)
Remer (Shopkeeper)
