Nell, Lois, Jasmine, Saya, Cera, Saeko and Racherna with Jas all left the dungeon and headed towards the town once again.
“Jas, is there anything special today?” Jasmine asked.
“In town?” Jas asked back.
“I don't know,” Jasmine responded. “You just seed more eager,” she said.
“You also made us have all our weapons,” Lois added as she held her M4W.
“Yes Master,” Cera said as she held Custodire. Racherna looked at Ulticurse.
“Well I have a feeling sothing might happen in town today so better be prepared,” Jas responded.
“What will happen?” Nell asked. She had to find out. She thought as the hero she could save lives.
“I am not sure, maybe nothing, maybe sothing,” Jas said. He did not want them to worry too much.
Saya thought he knew sothing. “Will it be okay with Cera and Racherna here?” Saya asked. She looked at the half horse girl and half spider girl. She thought if she had seen them a few weeks ago she would be terrified but after all the things she had seen. This was normal, she thought.
“There are humanoids here so they should fit in,” Jas responded. “We also have Nell here,” he added.
Nell frowned. She thought Jas was abusing her authority. Despite her hesitation, they approached the gates once more. As they neared, Nell took the lead, stepping forward. She addressed the knight on duty. It was the sa knight as yesterday. "They are with ," she said.
The guard studied the group, sweat forming at his temple. His eyes flickered between Nell and the two humanoid figures behind her. For a mont, uncertainty clouded his face. Then he hesitated. Then he nodded and went inside to get the paperwork.
Jas smirked. "That was smooth," he said.
Nell shot him a glance as she crossed her arms. "For you," she said.
Cera tilted her head. "Is it okay for us to be here?" she asked. Her ears flopped down.
Jas gave a reassuring nod. "It’ll be fine,” he responded. “If anyone says sothing, I will kill them,” he stated.
“Master,” Cera said as she blushed.
Nell straightened. “Dont,” Nell said.
“Danna-sama might or might not,” Saeko said.
"I need to go to the Governor’s Mansion," Nell said.
Jas gestured forward. "Alright, we’ll co with you. Then we’ll make sure Cera and Rachnera get their passes,” he said.
Nell considered briefly, then nodded. "Okay," she replied.
With that, they moved toward the Governor’s Mansion. They arrived at his Mansion and saw Leillo standing near the entrance.
Jas approached with ease, raising a hand in greeting. "Hey, Leillo," he said.
Leillo’s expression darkened instantly. His hand clenched into a fist. "What are you doing here?" he asked. He looked behind Jas and saw two new humanoid figures.
The guards reacted imdiately, shifting into defensive stances, fingers hovering near their weapons.
"They are with us," Saya said.
Leillo eyed them carefully and signaled his n to stand down. "What can I help you with?" he asked.
Jas wasted no ti. "I want to ask about cursed weapons," he responded.
"Cursed weapons?" Leillo asked. He looked nervous.
Jas gestured towards Rachnera’s axe. "Like the one she carries?" he asked.
Leillo narrowed his eyes, studying the weapon carefully before shaking his head. "That is not a cursed weapon," he replied.
Jas smiled. He thought the Ultimatrix removed the curse entirely. He thought what would have been a dangerous weapon, now seed like an ordinary weapon. Jas knew there had to be more to it. He looked closely at her double headed axe and the Ultimatrix symbol.
Leillo sighed. "Cursed weapons have a unique presence. They unsettle everyone around them. My n aren’t reacting to that axe, which ans there’s nothing sinister," he responded. He crossed his arms. "True cursed weapons have the ability to take over their users, to amplify their strength, making them more dangerous," he added.
"So my weapon isn’t cursed?" Rachnera asked. Her fingers tightened around the axe’s grip.
"No. Otherwise, you'd already be under its control unless you have exceptional will," Leillo responded. "Please, try not to cause trouble while you’re here,” he added.
"We’ll try,” Lois responded.
Leillo exhaled. "Do you have any business here?" he asked. He wanted them to go.
Jas crossed his arms casually. "We plan to explore a bit, then return ho before coming back later," he responded.
Leillo gave him a long stare before muttering, "For a human, you are more dangerous than a demon lord," he stated.
Saya murmured under her breath, barely audible. "He can be a demon.”
Jas chuckled lightly before turning to Nell. "Did you need to ask anything else?" he asked.
Nell shook her head. "I've already gotten what I needed," she replied.
"Alright. We will be heading off,” Jas said as they took their leave. They walked towards the town centre.
“He seed pathetic,” Racherna said.
“He might be under great burden,” Cera said.
“He is,” Nell said.
He turned toward Nell again. "Nell, can you take Cera and Rachnera to get their ID cards? We’ll et up later," he asked.
Nell hesitated briefly, then nodded. "Okay," she replied. She and the others headed off, leaving Jas and the rest standing in the streets of the town.
“Shouldn't we go with them?” Saya asked.
“They are only down the road and we all don't need to go back,” Jas responded.
Jasmine stretched her arms. "So, what now?" she asked.
"There’s a weapon shop right there," he noted, nodding toward the building.
“We do have plenty of weapons,” Saya asked.
"I wonder what else they have gotten,” Lois responded.
The group made their way toward the shop, the worn sign above the entrance displaying crossed swords and a shining shield. The stone walls and iron-trimd windows gave the store a classic dieval feel.
Jas stepped forward, pushing open the heavy wooden door. They saw a number of axes and swords. “A dieval store,” Saya remarked.
“It has a different feel,” Saeko added.
They walked in and looked at the different weapons. Jas walked to a barrel and saw a bunch of swords. He saw a rusting sword and picked it up. He looked at the handle and smiled.
Saeko walked towards him. “Danna-sama what have you found?” she asked. She looked at the rusty blade.
“This is a sword used by an ancient hero,” Jas responded. “It is rusty for now but I wonder if we put in the Pack-A-Punch Machine it would improve,” he added.
“We can try Danna-sama,” Saeko responded. She smiled and looked at him.
“Did anyone else find anything interesting?” Jas asked.
“Not really,” Lois responded. “I prefer shooting,” she added.
“If it's not by you then I wont accept it,” Jasmine added.
Saya stayed silent. She also would only use weapons given by Jas like the Ray Gun. She had no real interest in getting these ones. They had much superior weapons.
“Okay, let's leave,” Jas said as he purchased the sword and left. He thought it was cheap for the potential value it could bring.
