Meeting the Team & Weapons

POV Aren

So where we going first? you seem like the guy that has his goal and will complete it at any cost.

"Not entirely true I will do anything as long as it doesn't hurt my party members. And were going to the blacksmith where my party is waiting." Naofumi

Alright this works out I want to get custom weapons made, and if you can help me find a good personal party member that would be appreciated.

"Know that you can't wield any other weapon but your daggers, and I can get you to a slave trader and you can find someone that might help you." Naofumi

Ok can we do that after we go to the forest? and I know about the only using the cardinal weapon, what about you how creative have you gotten with your shield?

"Um why the forest? and the most creative shield I have a is a book that helps me create items." Naofumi

Reason why I want to go to the forest is the god or gods that gave me another chance said that I would run into a wolf pack and said not to fight them but talk to them. they will help me out, how is unknown to me and I wish to talk to you about gaining new shields and having a sword or bow type shield.

"Interesting a higher being told you about a wolf pack that will help you in some way. And I never thought about trying a mix of those two weapons, but I'm unsure about it." Naofumi

Yeah I know it sounds crazy but it might work and if not well its a new idea for this blacksmith to go with.

"Here we are Elhart's shop he's the best blacksmith around, and he doesn't hate to much." Naofumi

"Master Naofumi! your alright and who's that?"

"Calm down Raphtalia he's the new cardinal hero that was summoned, and our new party member." Naofumi

Hi little one I'm Aren Aruna Akuma but you can call me Aren, and your name is Raphtalia right?

"Y.. Yes it is mister Aren." Raphtalia

You don't need to call me mister, I'm too young for that. but if its alright with you I would like to talk to mister Elhart and Naofumi ok?

"Umm ok but can I listen also?" Raphtalia

"Why are you being so nice to her and why do we need to talk?" Naofumi

Well she's a kid and needs to be pampered a bit and I've never had a little sister type person to talk to so don't ruin my fun.

"On another note why am I involved? any time its me and my shop being needed, this isn't a free room!" Elhart

"No your the only person I trust enough to not say anything as I'm probably your best customer." Naofumi

Anyways first I would like 4 custom weapons two shields and two daggers, the two daggers I want are simple slightly curved daggers. and for the shields I want something like Naofumis but ad a blade to the end but still keep it like a shield, and one that has a crossbow like merged into the shield.

"Why two shields? I understand the daggers but shields that random and I can get them to you in about four days." Elhart

"Yeah I'm also wondering why" Naofumi

Well simple you need to try and copy other shields as they might give you different buffs, and if you can maybe you can have a way to not only fight but help your team out more.

"That makes a lot of sense but your spending your own money on me when you hardly know me." Naofumi

Call it an investment of sorts. NOT to betray me

"I see no problems with that reason." Naofumi and Elhart

With that were is your next location that your going to next?

"Can you request a costume weapon for me?" Raphtalia

If Naofumi allows it I will observe your fighting style and your growth as a woman and well see from there. OK

"OK! ಥ⌣ಥ" Raphtalia

Why are you crying?

"Your so kind It reminds me of master." Raphtalia

Well let's wipe those tears away and smile going forward with confidence knowing that you have people that care about you.

"Yeah!" Raphtalia

"*Shigh* Let's go we should try the woods and hunt until we find that pack you were promised" Naofumi
