Everyone was very satisfied after shopping at the first shop with the quality of the product there. But there was one exception and that was Pachante. She wanted to buy a high number of weapons for an affordable price. She was not really too worried about the quality of the weapons. But even with the special discount of the sixth day, all the weapons of this shop were still way over Pachante's budget. So she was not able to fulfill her objectives in that shop.
Pachante still bought an expensive spear for Haliol. In his last mission Haliol had worked very hard and had risked him live. So enough to Pachante had already rewarded him with her pussy, she still wanted to give him more rewards to make him more motivated. Actually Elena could have helped her to buy weapons from that shop but she was trying to reward her subordinates so Elena buying those weapons for her would not be a good thing.
So next, for Pachante's sake, Elena decided to go to a weapon shop called "Homura". The owner of this shop was a peak A rank blacksmith and was trying to reach the S rank. But so far, he was not able to take the last step. So he regularly had been making a lot of A rank weapons to polish his skills more and more. For that reason, a lot of decent quality A rank weapons could be found in this shop.
While going toward Homura Kaya could not help but check out her new spare sword again. As soon as Kaya saw this sword, she immediately fell in love with it. The initial quality of this sword was actually higher than her main sword. Obviously after accompanying her in many battles, the quality of her main sword had grown exponentially but this sword was also very good.
All the other people had also bought something from that store and were satisfied with their purchase. So they all entered Homura just to look around and with no intention to buy anything.
But as soon as they entered, their eyes were greeted by a collection of many exceptional weapons including a few of the S rank. There were not many customers in the shop but the whole store was giving off a happy vibe. After asking a few employees they came to know that last night the owner of this store was finally able to take the last step and had now become a S rank blacksmith.
It was a very joyous news and because of this the shop was planning to give everyone visiting their store tonight a huge discount. As most of the people were visiting the "Clanking Blood" so this store had very few customers. This was a good thing for Pachante as she would be able to take her time browsing through what this store had to offer.
As the shop owner had just become a S rank blacksmith, he only had two S rank weapons to sell. One of them was extremely special as this was the weapon with which he had reached the S rank. And the other sword was a hastily made one that he made to test out his new found ability.
Those two were not the weapons that Pachante was interested in. So she went and started checking out the A rank weapons which were getting sold at a very low price. But Elena was interested in the weapon that this blacksmith had managed to create with all his heart and mind.
That weapon was a sword. It had a silver hilt and a crystal-like bluish blade. It was extremely beautiful but at the same time it was also extremely powerful. The more Elena looked at the sword, her eyes started to become hazy and the scene of a girl moving around with a similar looking sword appeared in her mind.
As if she was in a daze, Elena got hold of the sword and started to follow the girl's movements. She slashed the sword, she thrust it and she moved her body in a nimble and flexible fashion. Instead of sword forms, what Elena did looked more like a beautiful dance.
The whole store became so silent that even the breathing of the people could be perfectly heard. The owner of the shop suddenly felt something and came out of his workshop and witnessed Elena using his greatest weapon to perform a sword dance. Instead of feeling angry or displeased, he felt grateful. His weapons were like his children and this child of him looked to be glowing getting wielded by Elena.
All the other people in the store were also amazed and dumbstruck as Elena just looked way too beautiful while performing this sword dance. So everyone stopped doing whatever they were doing and started watching Elena. But the person who was the centre of all this attention had completely forgotten about her surroundings. Instead her mind had appeared in a large but dilapidated house where a younger looking her was observing another girl of her age performing this same sword dance. She was holding a heavily decorated sword made out of bluish crystal. That girl has a proud and cold face. The current serious look suited her very well.
This girl was named Beatrice. She was the heir to an ancient swordsman family and the only bloodline that family had in the world. Elena had come to meet this while chasing an Infernal Fiend who was a pawn of the calamity. It had not been too long since they had met, but in no time Elena and Beatrice had become close friends as their personalities were too compatible.
Beatrice's family were the ones who were taking care of the city where Elena was staying at that moment. But then this Infernal Fiend attacked the city and her whole family was wiped away except for her. This fiend was a powerhouse from a different world which had already been destroyed by the destroyer. This fiend had betrayed his own world and had become a servant for the calamity.
Elena had faced this fiend and had managed to badly injure it. But before she could finish it off, it had used some kind of special technique and had run away. Currently Elena was chasing after it and Beatrice had promised to help her locate this powerful enemy. She also wanted to take revenge on this being for killing her family.
What Beatrice was currently practicing was the sword art that was the symbol of her family. She was practicing it so that she could use this to kill off her hated foe. Even as a top tier sword user herself, Elena had found this technique to be exceptional. And the sword that she was holding was her family's heirloom.
And that was exactly the style of sword dance that Elena was suddenly demonstrating after she noticed how similar the newly made S rank sword was to the sword that this beloved friend of hers had once used.
Once again, Elena's mind went to those painful past days.
