There's a recently popular fortune teller . Well known for giving accurate advices for many things, from love problems to finding lost items . Take a turn at an alley . A small tent . Anyone is welcome to come in .
"What brings you here today?"
"H-how do I make the one I love to turn at me?"
I brought that matter to consult with the fortune teller . The fortune teller, unclear if they're a man or a woman inside the dim tent, touched a crystal ball and murmured something . And then the crystal ball shot out a faint light . I wonder why, I can't take my eyes off it .
"Your love shall come true if you put on this necklace and make him carry this jewel . "
"Y-yes! I'll get right to it! Here's your payment . "
I handed over all the cash I had and went out the tent in high spirits . Ufufufu, with this he will be mine, ufufufufufufu .

Nobusadasa~n, nobusada~n♪ With Lunar Cat on his waist~♪ Wanna cut up monsters in two, let's~♪ Let's cut up, cut up~♪ Together with kids, in precise~♪ Let's cut it up in two like thump, let's~♪
Right now, I'm on dungeon 2F together with four kids . At first I was only going to take the three girls with me, but Tino-chan ended up tagging along for some reason . I suppose it's wise to let her learn how to protect herself even if I don't plan to make these kids live in battlefields . Since Tino-chan requested for it herself, I've gone and convinced Dilt-san to let her go . Ah, Tama-chan the watch dog has enshrined herself on top of my head .
Anyway, I picked this hunting spot since beating up mushroom monsters should be easier than dog and humanoid monsters . It's a quiet spot with not much foot traffic .
And now it's like . . . .
"Hohhohhohhohoo, would you fools kindly get out of my sight desuwa . "
"Ora ora ora ora ora, bring me someone stronger! Strong enough to satiate me!"
"Kuka----, oooh . Ambush is a no no desuyo, Wind Arrow, Wind Arrow, ey ey . "
"Spirit-san, spirit-san, go get 'em~"
We have mushrooms getting whipped, punched, pierced, blown away . Would make even P*min jump in surprise . These are children musou . . . How'd it even come to this!! You can't blame for singing aloud to escape reality .

Turning back the time a bit .
"Heyaa, Boss-san, you in there?"
I went into the store nonchalantly like usual .
"Ou, what's up? A bit late to dive in a dungeon . . . ain't . . . Gah, you got more of 'em!? Young kids this time!?"
That comes off sounding scandalous . Yes I got more of them though .
"No no no, I won't quip back at what you might have in mind there, but these kids are our store's employees, see . I was thinking of teaching them ways to defend themselves in this violent world, thus I picked up times when few people are out and about . "
"O-oh yeah? Been hearing some rumors about ya recently . So you know, I thought for a sec . Heard you've been getting called [Magic Beast] lately . "
What the heck! No one told me though?! My nickname changed yet again, or rather, isn't it getting more and more inhumane? I've given up on it though so whatever . More importantly, gotta get to the point .
"I've decided not to worry about that anymore . Anyway, today I'm here for these kids' equipment . Since we need to find out stuff like aptitudes for their Weapon Skills and such, maybe we'll take a bunch with with us . "
Eh? Boss-san's got this dubious look on him . Huh? Did I say something weird??
"Nobusada . Don't tell me, you never used a 『Martial Soul Stone』?"
Hae? What is that item, never heard of it .
"Eh, what is that thing?"
Boss-san scratched his head while grimacing like he was saying, 'Achaa' .
"I see now, had my suspicion already when you bought so many stuff the first time you came here, but with how confident you were, I thought you already knew . 『Martial Soul Stones』 are items processed from Soul Stones . Using one will tell you your correct weapon aptitudes . "
ΩΩΩ< W-whattttttt .
Just what all those struggles to find solutions when I was told I couldn't use Weapon Skills for then . . .
" . . . I'll have those 『Martial Soul Stones』 for five please . . . "
"It ain't breaking with use, so just go in turns . Here ya go ladies, put yer' hand on this one by one . "
Boss-san brought out a sumo wrestler's fist-sized lithograph-like thing .
Some words emerged on the [Martial Soul Stone] when Gana put her hand on it .
『Rapier, One-handed Sword, Small Shield, Whip』 Whip!? It is indeed the weapon of choice for a certain vampire hunter, but she's supposed to be on the receiving end here . Besides, used by a girl, it's . . . no wait, I guess it's fine? It's fine I guess .
Oltea is 『Fist, Ball, Rock, Club』 . There's so many things I want to quip, but I don't even know where to begin .
Mashu is 『One-handed Cane, Two-handed Cane, Wand』。 It's ordinary . But why does it makes me so glad I wonder .
Tino-chan is 『Dagger, Bow』 . Yup, it's ordinary again . Ordinary is wonderful .
. . . It's good up until Wand . Does guns even exist in this world? Not to forget, Concealed Weaponry and Bombs . I can only laugh . Are they telling me to assassinate or slaughter people or something . I don't mind doing such to monsters though . Ah well, I suppose this helps squeeze my Classes down . Let's think in that direction . Thinking further will just make me depressed .
"Aa, well then, go pick your own weapons with these results in mind . Protectors come after . "
""""YES""""
Boss-san laughed as he watched over us .
"Yer' the very image of a father aintcha . That aside, I couldn't read two parts of yer' aptitudes, what was that about?"
Oho, does that mean they don't exist in this world then?
"I have no clue either . For these girls' protectors, since we don't have time to spare, would it be okay to purchase ready-made ones?"
"Yea, no probs . We're out of Iron Ant mats with no ETA anyway . You're going once 『Turbulent Quicksands』 is over right? I'm gonna send ya nominated quest for it . "
"Sure thing . We plan to go straight to 9F on our next expedition . Boss-san has been such a great help to us, I'll be sure to get a lot for you . "
"That's swell . Just don't for yerself to hard . "
"Ah, right, I found myself a Mithril sword, though worn-out . Could you melt it down and use it to try that thing I asked you last time?"
"Ah, that single-ended sword handed down in the east huh . Oh hey, this thing's a two-handed sword . Should get plenty of mats from this . Suffice for around two one-handed swords I reckon . "
"Yes, please make them . "
"Leave it to me . I'mma finish them up before [Turbulent Quicksands]'s over . "
We had that conversation while warmly watching over the kids frolicking over equipment in the store .
30 minutes later .
These are the girls' equipment .
Gana Main Weapon: Vera's Whip Sub Weapons: Iron Rapier, Buckler
Whip as her main!? Gana, just what kind of path have you taken . By the way, Vera's Whip is one of magic weapons this shop's hoarded . It's got unknown effects and few known users . Since it had been collecting dust for years in this store, I managed to buy it for cheap .
『Vera's Whip』 A magic whip owned by a demon who wished to become a human . Its trajectory can be changed to a degree by its user's will .
I suppose it has a bit of homing function . Should give better hit rates and surprise attacks . Please just don't end up living in the darkness .
Oltea Main Weapon: Iron Fist Sub Weapons: Iron Ball, Treant Club
It's ordinary brass knuckles . Apparently to her, a fight doesn't feel real if she can't feel her fists gouging out her opponent's flesh . What are you, a combative race . Ah, she is Ogrekin . Iron Ball is exactly what it says on the tin . She also bought three baseball-sized iron balls . Treant Club is shaped like a baseball bat for some reason . Though twice as long and big .
Mashu Main Weapon: Treant Wand Sub Weapons: Morning Star
Mashu has managed to learn wind magic under Sefi-san's tutelage during break times . Treant Wand for magic support is wonderfully normal . But why's her sub a morning star . Is it the thorns, it must be the thorns isn't it?
Tino Main Weapon: Treant Small Bow Sub Weapon: Iron Cutter
Tino-chan picked a small bow partially due to her physical strength . Iron Cutter is a dagger that resembles a hatchet . Pretty good for crushing branches that get in the way . Huh? Aren't elves supposed to forest protectors? I guess pruning is okay though .
We choose light armor like leather breastplates that won't slow them down . They're even more lightweight thanks to [Lightening] enchant magic . There were no catalyst to do the enchant initially, but Boss-san found leftovers his little brother had used . I had no idea Gilui-san's got that kind of special skill . At any rate, I'll use my magic to cover for any shortcoming in their defense .
All in all, it cost 21,240 mani . Quite an expense . A necessary one for bolstering defenses . Luckily our cosmetics and stuff sold well .
Thus we finally dived into the dungeon with all new equipment .
