We really did involve in something big

  [Mr dean?]

  [Ah, sorry Billy. I just mumbling myself.] me

  ...

  [Billy!]

  [Are you sure you want to follow me?] Me

  [What do you mean Mr Dean?] Billy

  [You know that my action almost killing you back there, and now, I think we're just involved in something big.]

  [I don't know if I can keep us from an even bigger problem later, so, do you really want to go with me? You can always be a mercenary without me or join another party if you want.] Me

  [Don't worry, Mr Dean. I know the risk the moment I decide to come with you. Also, I'm already involved anyway, so I don't think I'll be safer with anyone else either. Going solo now is even worse.] Billy

  [Then I can't promise you'll not regret your decision. Just remember that you can always take the offer later on.] Me

  ...

  [Here. Use this instead of your bow.] Me

  I hand him a modern laminated recurve bow from my miracle shop.

  [Wha... is this also a magic tool? I can't receive something this exquisite, Mr Dean. I... I also kinda scared to use something like this.] Billy

  [Haha... Don't worry. It's just an ordinary bow. But I do use a special method to develop it. It should fly faster than your ordinary bow.] Me

  I just introduced a laminated recurve bow in this world. It will work a hell lot better than the ordinary short bow in this world.

  What I give to Billy is 2 step upgrade for his short bow.

  First is a recurve shaped that will give it a longer draw hence a longer more efficient acceleration time for the arrow.

  The second is a laminated constr that makes the bow lighter, stronger, and more long-lasting.

  [Hmm...] Billy

  [What is it Billy?] Me

  [It's just... I... never heard of a magician that can do something just like what you just did. Back then you tell me you can summon something out of a thin air because it's a magic tool. But now, you summon this and you tell me this is not even a magic tool... Ah! Sorry, Mr Dean. I don't mean to pry you!] Billy

  Mistakes! I should have been giving it to him after pretending I made a bow in the forest.

  Now, what is the use of that weapon crates that God gave me??

  [I... I'll explain about that when the time's right. Let's just sleep! We'll go to Romora tomorrow.] Me

  Oh well. I can already tell I need to explain my ability to Billy sooner or later.

  Hmm... Having a gunner sidekick is also nice... I'll teach Billy how to use a gun later.

  It'll be cool if I have a sniper watching my back, isn't it?

  [Umm... Mr dean? Are you sure this is not a magic tool? What if my head suddenly explodes when I use it? I won't dare to use something like this, Mr Dean.]

  [It's ordinary tools Billy. Sleep.]

  I need to prepare a narration for when I explain about guns to Billy.

  [The lacquer is soo smooth and shiny... It's just like a knight would use. Mr Dean? Can I really have it? You won't take it back later do you?]

  [Sleep!]

  -------------------------------------------------------

  *thunk*

  *thunk*

  [Yaawnn...]

  *thunk*

  [Hmm??]

  Billy is not here. Do I wake up late?

  I do spend a couple of hours thinking about my narration for Billy when the time comes.

  But I don't think I'll wake up that late, do I?

  *thunk*

  What's that sound anyway?

  It's Billy! He shooting a log with his new bow.

  [Oyyy!! Who's log are you shooting over there? Don't get us into trouble!!] Me

  [Ah Mr Dean! Do I wake you up? I'm sorry, I just can't resist trying the bow gave me. Don't worry though! I already asked the tavern master to shoot one of his firelogs!] Billy

  Ah well. As long as it didn't bring any trouble.

  Let's wash myself and go downstairs to get something to eat.

  Thinking about it, it's been a week I go to this world, and not once I take a proper bath.

  Wait! I also didn't bother anymore about the smell of my room! Do I used to it because of my body smell?!

  [Morning Mr Dean! Breakfast?] Barman

  [Morning master! Yes please and prepare some dried food for two days trip, thank you.] Me

  *thud*

  [Here you go. Don't worry about your friend portion. He wakes up early in the morning, asks something to eat, and asking me for a firelog to practice. Hahaha... What a lively young man!] Barman

  [Ahaha... Sorry if it brings you trouble.] Me

  [Nah... Don't worry. It's not like I won't be able to burn that firelog after getting shot at.] Barman

  [So, you're going somewhere after this I presume?] Barman

  [Yeah, we'll go to Romora today.] Me

  [Ahh... The life of a mercenary. I heard that the job is better there am I right? It's actually strange when I meet Billy the other day asking for a mercenary request in this village. There are not many mercenaries who wonder in a village like this asking for a request. But on the other hand, I am also glad some is doing that.] Barman

  [Glad?] Me

  [Yup, as you may know, the request in a city comes from either the kingdom or a somewhat rich village who can post their request there. Meanwhile, a village like us can only rely on luck to meet a mercenary who wants to take our request. We might not have a request for you now, but who knows when we'll meet another mercenary when we do have a request? Not to mention a village like us can only prepare pocket changes for the rewards.] Barman

  [Hahahaha! But a village like this won't have that many problems to begin with! Don't you remember your last request is just to kill a boar who wreak havoc on your cabbage farm? And the one who gets the reward is not even a mercenary but just a passing hunter. Hahaha...]

  [Ahhh, just shut up old man! Here for a drink?] Barman

  [Hahaha... You know me!]

  *sit*

  [So, you're going to Romora I heard? Silver claw?] Old bard

  [Where do you even come from? And why ask if you're already eavesdropping on me?] Me

  [Ahahahaha... You need to know that a lot of people out there are wary of us. Of course, we need to know how to get our information without revealing ourselves. So, Silver Claw?] Old bard

  [Yeah? Maybe? I don't know. I don't even know if I want to involve myself with them. It just seems it's too big of a hustle.] Me

  [Hm? Is that so? Just so you know, that Krill is an old friend of mine. Hahaha... Sometimes I envy that immortality of his. But sometimes, I think being able to grow old is not too bad either...] Old bard

  [And... Your point is?] Me

  [Point? Hahaha... Nothing... Just do as you see fit...]

  *gulp*

  *drop*

  [Name's Borad. That name can be beneficial for you if you happen to meet someone who knows me. Ah, a lot of them are old or probably dead already, hahaha...] Borad

  *stand*

  [But maybe, you can find someone who's still young and fit just like that Krill... Hahaha... Let's see if we can meet again... Dean...] Borad

  [Yo! Old man! Pay up!] Barman

  [I'll come back later! You speak like you aren't the only tavern here.] Borad

  Ahhh...

  Can I just eat in peace?
