This time it was Ella's turn to stutter.

"Never mind, never mind. No... no thanks. I'll buy them all for a rainy day."

"So, do you need some underwear and stockings?"

The shop assistant dropped a bomb.

[Should I buy it or not?] Ella was struggling with herself.

[Your body has become like this, so what's wrong with buying underwear? Isn't it normal? ]

[I understand buying a skirt, but this is underwear! This is underwear!]

"Of course I'll buy it. If someone finds out that this high-level beautiful swordsman is actually a nympho who doesn't wear underwear, wouldn't that be a terrible situation?"

"No, no, no, that's not right. Skirts are outer garments that everyone can see, while underwear is something you wear underneath, so no one else can see it, right? If no one else can see it, why worry about it? You don't actually want to wear it, do you?!"

The inner war has been won and lost, and Ella pretends to be calm

"No, I have other plans for these."

"Okay, please follow me over here."

After the female clerk finished speaking, she picked up the pile of clothes and led Ella out of the room.

Walked to a place similar to a counter.

Various cloths were placed on a dark red wooden counter about one meter high. Behind it, there was an old woman with a little white hair, who looked to be in her sixties, fiddling with an unfinished piece of clothing. She seemed to be the owner of the clothing store.

"Master, this guest wants to buy these clothes."

The clerk spoke to the old woman behind the counter and then piled the clothes on the side of the counter.

[Hmm? Master? Is there slavery in the other world? But this clerk doesn't seem to be enslaved.]

Ella looked at the two of them with some curiosity.

"Okay, Jana, just put it here and leave the rest to me."

The old woman raised her head, and a soft voice echoed. The saleswoman nodded and walked back to the house, probably to sort out the clothes that had been turned over.

The old woman stood up, brought the clothes over, sorted them one by one, looked at Ella's clothes, and said with a smile

"That's 4 gold coins and 7 silver coins in total. It looks like the girl must be quite wealthy."

"Okay, is this enough? I'm a swordsman from afar, and I've run out of gold coins. Can I use this as collateral?"

After saying this, Ella handed the old woman a few gold coins she had prepared. These were the game coins that Ella had taken out from the warehouse in advance when she decided to buy clothes on the street. They were used to trade in "F.Wing".

"This is--"

The old woman took the gold coin and first tried the weight with her hand. Then she took out a monocle from the counter and looked up and down. After a moment, as if she had discovered something extraordinary, she said in surprise:

"This is a gold coin from the Demon God Age, which predates Genesis. I once had the pleasure of seeing it in the Magic Exhibition Hall in the Royal Capital when I was a child studying there. You're flattering me by using this as currency, little girl."

"This is just the most basic currency in the game..."

Ella muttered softly.

"Little girl, what did you say? I'm old and my hearing isn't very good, so please forgive me."

The old woman bent down and returned the gold coin to Ella.

After taking the gold coin, Ella asked

"No—I mean, is this coin actually usable?"

"Yes, but this one gold coin is too expensive. It's enough to buy my entire store and still have some left over."

Ella asked with a troubled expression.

"Then do you know where I can exchange this gold coin from the Demon God Age for regular gold coins?"

"This should be exchangeable for gold coins at the Adventurer's Guild. I suggest you go and have a look. However, this is a rare treasure. Do you really want to sell it?"

"It's okay. My family gave me several gold coins like this."

In response to the old woman's suggestion, Ella clenched her fist and waved it vigorously in the air, making a happy expression.

As if moved by Ella's cute behavior, the old woman's already gentle eyes instantly became kind, as if she was looking at her own granddaughter.

"As expected, you're the eldest daughter of a noble family. Do you know how to get to the Adventurer's Guild?"

"Yes, I know. I asked the people in the town when I came here."

Of course it was a lie, Ella apologized in her heart.

She looked at the old woman's kind eyes and decided not to act cute in front of the elderly anymore. She would feel guilty about it. After all, she still considered herself a man at heart, and her previous actions were just an attempt to imitate the athletic girls in the comics. Hmm—as for choosing women's clothing, it was something she had no choice about at the moment, so it didn't count.

"Can I leave my clothes here and come back later?"

Feeling guilty, Ella wanted to end this guilt-ridden conversation quickly.

"Of course you can, but the people in the Adventurer's Guild are all rough guys who don't talk much. Little girl, are you okay going alone? I can ask Jana to go with you. Although she is nominally my slave, I actually treat her as my own daughter, hehe."

The kind look on the old man's face deepened.

"It's okay, no need. I'll go exchange the coins first. I'll see you later, old lady."

Ella couldn't stand this scene, so she turned around and walked out of the store. The old woman's words came from behind her.

"Be careful on your way."

"Please spare me... This sun-like light is too dazzling. I will never act cute in front of old people again..."

Ella whimpered softly as she walked towards the Adventurer's Guild marked on the map.

Chapter 9: Girl Elelaya Goes to the Adventurer's Guild

*Lion Town, Kingdom of Barris

As one of the border towns between the Kingdom of Barris and the Barris Coast Forest, Ryan Town, a small town with an area of ​​only 5 square kilometers, did not live up to its name and was not a heavily guarded town. Instead, Ryan Town was filled with a lazy and non-stressful atmosphere.

This is because of the geographical location of Ryan Town - it is located at the border of the forest where there are few magical beasts, and the magical beasts in the Baris Coast Forest rarely actively invade human towns, so the town has developed the awareness of being a town without boundaries.

The town is divided into four parts by two perpendicular main roads - residential areas on the east and south sides, commercial areas on the north side and free markets on the west side.

Ella's destination is the Adventurer's Guild on the west side.

In the square in the west district, everyone can set up stalls freely. Compared with the commercial area in the north system, it looks extremely messy.

On ordinary days, the West District is a hodgepodge of vegetables, condiments, and daily necessities, all scattered about haphazardly. The sounds of vendors hawking their wares to the passing crowds, the haggling of shoppers bargaining with vendors, and the clamor of greetings all blend together, turning the already chaotic square into a chaotic mess.

But now, the objects and people in the square have not changed, but the scene has become extremely strange.

Everyone watched the young woman walking in the center of the square in silence, consciously making way for her. She looked to be between twelve and fourteen years old, her orange-red eyes paired with an expressionless face, giving off a cold, aloof vibe. Her long white hair was pulled into twin ponytails by two black ribbons, revealing the back of her neck.

The swordsman's suit, made of a large amount of white silk that ordinary people would not use, looks extremely dazzling in the sun, and the smooth back and sharp shoulders not covered by the clothes are even more eye-catching in this brilliance.

The white, rounded flesh between her tight black shorts and matching knee-high socks showcased the girl's healthy figure. The longsword, half her height, tied around her waist added a touch of heroism to her.

"Angel"——this was the thought shared by everyone.

[Ah~ah, what's going on? It's so strangely quiet. Could it be that everyone who came here before has gathered here? There were so few people here before.]

In the square, Ella forced herself to pretend to have no expression under everyone's gaze, while walking forward without looking around.

Thinking about how I had stood at the entrance of the square and watched people pushing and shoving each other, I couldn't help but comfort myself that this way I wouldn't have to squeeze in the crowd.

Even when he was Yousuke, he was not very good at staying in crowded places, and now this crowd of people could be said to be his natural enemy.

[No matter how you look at it, it's a public execution!]

Thinking this in his mind, he quickly walked out of the square.

Ella arrived at her destination and looked at the words written on the door of the stone building in front of her.

Adventurer's Guild

He breathed a sigh of relief. He'd been watched the entire time, and while he didn't sense any ill will, it still made him feel uncomfortable. As soon as he'd left the square, those who'd been keeping quiet suddenly became noisy, and the conversation seemed to be directed at him.

He straightened the non-existent wrinkles on his clothes, pushed open the wooden double doors with the name of the Adventurer's Guild written on them, and walked in.

All the windows on the wall were wide open. Compared to the Adventurer's Guild that he had seen in anime and cartoons, the room did not seem very spacious, but it was at least over a hundred square meters. There was no one sitting on the several tables and chairs in the room.

Directly in front of them stood a counter, where a man in his forties dozed off. Next to it stood a two-meter-tall signboard, bearing a few written requests.

The feeling of being unpopular—that was Ella's first impression.

She walked straight to the counter and heard footsteps approaching her. The man at the counter raised his head and looked at Ella, then shook his head and muttered something.

Then he lowered his head again.

"This must be an angel. This must be a dream."

Thanks to the swordsman's five senses, Ella heard what the old man said.

What would this uncle's expression be like if he knew that the angel in front of him was actually a man?

I shook off my wandering thoughts and tapped the counter a few times with my hands.

"Excuse me, can I pawn items here?"

The man in front of him raised his head again, saw Ella, and shook his head again, staring at her intently as if to confirm. After confirming that the person before him was a real person, he muttered to himself.

"Eh? Isn't this a dream? How could such a cute girl come to the Adventurer's Guild?"

"Excuse me, can I pawn items here?"

Ella asked again helplessly.

The uncle at the counter was brought back to reality by Ella's question. He coughed a few times to calm down, and then gave the professional answer that a counter receptionist should give.

"Yes, you can pawn items here. What do you want to pawn?"

"I want to pawn this."

After saying that, Ella took out the "Angel Crystal" she had prepared in advance from her jacket pocket and placed it on the counter.

The "Angel Crystal" on the apple's surface emits a faint golden light.

The reason why she chose the "Angel Crystal" instead of the game coin was: Ella wanted to see what value various items had in this world, and the value of the game coin seemed to be quite high. If she took out something of such high value, it would inevitably cause some unnecessary trouble if others knew about it. The old woman before didn't seem like the type to spread the news everywhere.

Seeing the fruits displayed by Ella, the uncle raised his eyebrows, picked up the fruits with both hands, and while staring at the fruits, he kept muttering some words that Ella had never heard before.

"'Basic Item Appraisal'."

After muttering some incomprehensible words, the old man mentioned the name of a skill in 『F.Wing』.

Ella couldn't help but wonder at the old man's actions. "Does magic in this world require chanting? This should be common knowledge. It's really troublesome that I can't ask others."

A faint blue light rose from the uncle's hand, covering the entire fruit and then gradually disappeared.

After finishing the prop identification, the uncle showed an expression of great surprise, and placed the fruit on the counter with both hands more carefully than before.

"What is this? This is the 'Angel Crystal'! It's only found in the territory of the God-Humans. How did you get it out?"

[As expected, the items and races in this world are the same as those in 'F.Wing'.] He was secretly delighted that he had changed races before entering the city.

"This was given to me by someone when I was traveling in the mainland." He said the prepared words.

The uncle said with a serious face.

"I can't make the decision on this. I need to ask the guild leader to make the decision. Please wait a moment."

"Okay, I'll stay here."

After saying that, the uncle left the counter, walked towards the stairs behind him, and entered the second floor of the union.

Ella looked at the mission commissions posted on the notice board beside her - most of them were commissions to collect medicinal herbs, and only a very small number were missions to hunt monsters. The rewards for these missions were generally less than 3 silver coins.

"I always feel like adventurers in this world are miserable."

Ella was worried about the adventurers in this world.

However, what Ella didn't know was that in this world, three gold coins were enough for a family of three to live a relatively affluent life for a month. This was also the reason why the female clerk was surprised when Ella was buying clothes in the clothing store before.

After a moment, a young voice came.

"Hello, I'm Enjie, the president of the Adventurer's Guild in Ryan Town. Are you the one who wants to sell the Angel Crystal?"
