The sky is blue and high. The sky is cloudless, and the sun shines brightly throughout.
　the height of summer That's all I can say, Ray and Elena were walking down the main street of Egzil in nearly 30 degrees Celsius.
　It's rare that there aren't even two of them, Seto and Yero, and it's just the two of themselves.
　As promised last night, I came here to buy some anti-desert tools, which are also dungeons after the 11th basement.

"But if you think about it carefully, you'll have to capture the tenth basement first."

　Ray muttering a sandwich I bought at a nearby store to my mouth.
　At Ray's words, Elena laughs bitterly, scratching up her golden hair as if it were against the falling sun.

"It's true that tomorrow is from the tenth basement, but can't we just capture the tenth basement and then go back to the ground and buy the tools necessary for the desert?"

　I certainly nod to Elena's small shoulder shrug.
　Or an ordinary adventurer's party might have taken such a step considering the amount of luggage they have. But Ray has a mistling, and Elena has a magic pouch. Magic pouches can be carried considerably less than mystery rings, but they can still be used in the desert without any problems.

"And did you know where it was?"

　Elena asks Ray, who is eating sandwiches.
　Ray didn't buy sandwiches at a stall for nothing. Of course, it's been about two hours since I had breakfast, so I'm a little hungry, but the main purpose was to ask the stall owner for a recommended tool store. The sandwiches served in Ray's mouth with grilled chicken and a spicy sauce were also purchased as information.

"Oh, it seems that there is a sign with a rock and hammer on it, going straight down this main street and walking for about ten minutes past the guild. They sell tools for use in the desert from the 11th basement, and they say the tools are of good quality."
"Rock and hammer? It's like a sign representing a dwarf."
"Actually, the owner is a dwarf, so it's no wonder. But it seems that the shopkeepers themselves often shut themselves up in a nearby blacksmith's shop."

　mutter and toss the last bite of sandwich into one's mouth.
　The grilled chicken was a rather voluminous sandwich, but for Ray it was just a treat.
　She walks along the main street with Elena and passes before the guild.

"Don't be silly! Who do you think I am?"

　I hear such voices in front of the guild, but they pass by it without a trace of concern.
　He might have been in trouble on an ordinary or inquisitive basis. But now we're on a near-date shopping event. If you stick your nose into such trouble and make a mistake, you may spend your time listening to it and so on. With that in mind, neither of us wanted to poke our heads in.

(In the first place, I'm strangely fond of trouble.) You don't have to go out of your way to poke yourself in.)

　Thinking this way, I passed the guild with Elena... and eventually discovered a sign with a rock and hammer on it, just as I heard from the owner of the stall selling sandwiches.
　The scale of the shop is neither small nor large, but rather an ordinary one. The cleanliness of the front of the shop was a good impression for Ray and Elena.

"Well, it's a pretty good place," ...so you'll come in right away. It's too hot to be exposed to direct sunlight."

　Elena glares at the sun as she says so, but there is no sweat coming from her forehead. This area is probably due to the succession of the magical stones of the Entient Dragon.
　From Ray's point of view, it seems that Elena will be able to operate in the desert without any problems, but there are still some just in case. And above all, patience and discomfort are two completely different things.
　In addition, Ray has Dragon Robes, which is a simple air conditioner, so there is no problem even in the desert.

"Well, I'm looking forward to seeing what they have,"

　Elena, with a normally stern expression, calls out to Ray with a small smile.
　Feeling his heart pounding for a moment in his smile, he reaches for the door to mislead it.
　The moment the door opened, a cool bell rang through the shop.
　The shop probably turned on the doorbell so that customers could see it as soon as they arrived, but Ray thought the windbell passed through his mind with the sound of summer and bells.

"May I help you?" Are you looking for something?"

　The person who asked me in an extended tone was a woman as tall as Ray's chest, a short man in the world.
　But it's not that I'm young. She feels strangely like a mature woman.

"Oh, I'd like various tools for use in the desert after the 11th basement of the dungeon."
"How many servings?"
"It's Elena's share there." Also, if there's anything that looks good, I want it, too."
"Yes, then I'll get you one set,"

　Saying so, the woman, much shorter than Ray, walks into the back of the counter.
　Watching her back, Ray asks Elena, who is looking around curiously with only a few other guests beside him.

"That clerk's a dwarf, isn't he?"

　Ray's knowledge shows that the Dwarves are quite short, both men and women. However, it is said that it is very strong and strong.
　In fact, some of the dwarves Ray had seen were exactly what he had imagined.
　However, all the dwarves Ray had seen were men, and he had never seen a woman's dwarves.
　Or pass each other in the guillem, or in the war against the Vestian Empire, but it is not remembered at all, and therefore asks Elena about what she thought to be a woman's dwarf for the first time.

"Huh? Didn't Ray ever see a woman's dwarf?"
"Oh,"
"If you don't ask him, you won't know for sure, but it's probably a dwarf. Unlike men's dwarves, women's dwarves do not naturally have whiskers. Therefore, on the surface, we have no choice but to check it by its back and body. But basically the Dwarves have great pride in their race. If you ask him, he will basically tell you."
"What do you mean by "drinking"? The dwarves I met before were extremely fond of drinking."

　The Brasso, a rank C party smashed warrior who worked with Ray to subdue Harpy, is past.
　He's the sort of person who drinks whenever he has time, even smaller than Ray, who is a small man. Despite his stature, he is a magic item with a strength characteristic of the Dwarves and a person who wields a hammer of earth shaking with ease.

"It's true that we Dwarves like to drink a lot, but that's different for each person."

　Rey's words were answered by a woman who seemed to be a dwarf from behind the counter, not by Elena.
　They include overcoats and water bottles in your hand, small folded tents, magic items that make fire, and medicine boxes that pack up the medicines you need in the desert.
　Even a big man would have to divide it several times before he could carry it, and the strength of his body around bringing the amount of luggage at once must be a dwarf.
　reopen one's mouth, putting the luggage together on the counter.

"Some dwarves don't like drinking, do they?" Oh, I'm a dwarf, as you can imagine."
"Yes, I see,"

　The tone of his tone, which somehow extends the end of the sentence, offends Ray's tempo.
　Without knowing how unusual she is, the woman first pulls her overcoat out of the counter.
　The brown...or rather sandy overcoat covers not only the body but also the head.

"Here's the first one." As you know, the sun in the desert is too strong, and you must wear an overcoat to block it."
"Is the sun too strong in the desert?"

　The dungeon where Ray and Elena once challenged themselves. There was a forest hierarchy in the dungeon, where the sun existed, even though it was in the dungeon. Moreover, the sun sets at night and rises again in the morning.Recalling this, the Dwarf woman nods, taking it for granted.

"Because it's a desert, the sunlight is naturally accompanied by tremendous heat." Rumor has it that some areas will be close to 50°C in some places. ...and therefore, in order to capture the desert hierarchy beyond the 11th basement level, you need an overcoat that blocks the sunlight. This overcoat is very simple, but it uses alchemy to give it a heat resistant effect. "However, it is very simple, so it is only about lowering the temperature by about 5°C."
"Five degrees. Then you don't need me."

　At Ray's words, Dwarf's woman bends her head and then opens her mouth.

"What do you mean?"

　Even if you're worried about something that might upset you, I'll pat on your dragon robe.

"This robe is a bit of a special magic item. There is also a kind of temperature control."
"Oh, my God," That's amazing, isn't it? What about that beautiful woman?"

　Did you believe Rey's words, or did you think they didn't matter? Anyway, the Dwarf woman turns her eyes from Ray to Elena and offers her sandy overcoat.

"Well, then I'll take it. What else?"
"Yes, sir. What you really need in the desert is hydration, so how about a water bottle?"
"A water bottle..."

　muttered Elena, picking up the water bottle on the counter.
　Surely the water bottle, made of some monster leather, will be of better quality than the ones sold in the ordinary market. But when it comes to water, there is no more drinking water than Ray's running dagger. As long as they have magical powers, they can produce water, so they think that carrying water bottles will only take up space in vain, and shake their heads.

"There is no need for water, as we can manage it. Next, please."
"Is that so? This water bottle is so strong that it can be used as a simple shield at any moment." That's too bad."
"... shield?"

　Ray unexpectedly asks back at the woman's words.
　After all, a water bottle is not something made of any kind of metal. It's a water bottle made of monster leather, or rather a water bag. Even though it was said to be a shield, Ray had to lean his head.

"Yes, sir. It's made of auger leather, so it's pretty strong."
"The leather of the auger?" I see. Then I'm sure it's sturdy. That being said, we don't need it, as I said. Next, please."

　The water bottle made of auger leather must have been too confident. The Dwarf woman sighs regrettably and then pulls out a tent folded in small. But...

"I don't need that either,"

　Ray, who has something close to the top of the tent called a magic tent, simply says so.

"Yes, indeed,"

　Elena, who has used magic tents many times on her way to Egzil with Ray or in dungeon, readily agrees with Ray.

"Oh, you don't want this, do you?"

　a dwarf woman who breathes and utters so
　It's no wonder. Because I was asked to bring a set of things for use in the desert hierarchy, and they said they didn't need most of them.
　However, Dwarf's woman has a will as a clerk in this shop.
　They are rarely seen as such by their language, but they are surprisingly proud to see it this way.
　Two guests in front of her, one of whom was a woman who looked so attractive and attractive. And the other is a boy younger than a woman. The first time I saw him in the shop, I thought about him as a lover, a couple, siblings, party buddies, and so on, but I couldn't see the answer at all. Nevertheless, I understood that boys have a lot of magic items in their hands. So if you're in a dungeon all night... reach for a box full of medicine as a last trump card, not a magic item that's a must-have fire in the cold.

"There are a lot of monsters that have poison in the desert, and the type of poison varies from monster to monster. So I wouldn't say that a common antidote is ineffective... but it's thin, so there's a antidote in this medicine box that specializes in the poison of desert monsters. I have other medicines in the desert, what shall I do?"
"Well, ... I think it's better to have some kind of course. Ray?"
"Oh, that's all right. There's nothing to be bothered by [There's no need for medicine]. Please."

　Winning. The Dwarf woman thinks Ray and Elena's words have no connection and opens her mouth to sell more convenient goods.
　After that, somehow Ray and Elena were forced to shop for a few silver coins.
