"Do you like my big stick?"
The young blonde-haired girl was stunned at the words of the shopkeeper in front of her, her eyes narrowed with slight disgust as she watches the sour-faced man behind the counter.
"Pervert..."
The young blonde girl mutters under her breath, her right hand at this one about to rise to slap the bitter face of the man behind the counter.
Before she can do anything, the man behind the counter extends one of his hands with which he holds a small wooden stick no more than a meter long.
"This is a great sword once forged by a mighty man, this man lived..."
Before the man behind the counter could finish speaking, the blonde girl sighs in exasperation and walks away from the store with firm steps and a low murmur.
The blonde girl is Enri Emmot, a peasant girl living in a village far from the Re-estize kingdom watches the sunset with a face still filled with disgust at the double-meaning words of the man in that strange store she found.
"What's a contract with a magical beast?, what the fuck is one of the swords of the seven swordsmen of the mist?", Enri didn't understand a single one of the stupid words of the man in that strange store.
However, Enri's anger at wasting time in that strange store is quickly discerned by a man walking along one of the main roads not far away.
Here in the Re-estize kingdom many things can be seen during the day and evening as well, however, the spectacle of an adventurer returning from a dangerous mission is always the favorite event of the civilians.
On both sides of the main road several people, children, old men and men crowd to see the lone adventurer who returned from an A-ranked mission.
"Do you ever hear of that guy?"
"He defeated an Elite ogre in a forest not too far away, it is said that strange staff with a skull he holds is cursed..."
Several murmurs of admiration and doubt can be heard among the civilians, after all, the young adventurer of barely twenty-four had been a piece of trash for his first six years as an adventurer.
It wasn't until about a month ago that he was seen wielding a strange staff with a small skull on it that he began to stand out, the staff appears to have been plucked from an old tree and it was as if a miniature skull about four inches in size had been nailed to the tip of the staff.
Strangely, the twenty-four year old adventurer uses the staff as a support as he walks with his back slightly hunched, a strange thing for a young man of his age who should be brimming with joy.
"Sir Daisuke Hiyama, please wait."
Suddenly, one of the people who was watching in admiration swallowed saliva and shouted, his rapid footsteps noticed by the several people who were lining up around the main road.
The one who shouted was a boy, black hair, a weak and frail appearance, and behind the boy walked a girl with shoulder-length black hair, a lovely face but a red scarf around her neck.
Daisuke Hiyama, a man who has been in this strange world for a long time watches the two children with some nostalgia for some strange reason, however, he does not wait for those two boys to catch up with him.
"Fly..."
Daisuke Hiyama says, a strange green light seems to light up inside the skull of his staff and Daisuke Hiyama begins to fly as a green light covers him.
The shouts of excitement and surprise from several civilians were not long in coming.
Several civilians, common people and even adventurers watch as Daisuke Hiyama flies high and can't help but smile and feel that the future could be something good for mankind.
"Sir Hiyama will probably succeed in ending the threats to the kingdom."
The strange voice of a civilian is heard as he watches Hiyama fly away, his voice full of hope was heard by several people around him who also begin to praise Hiyama with shouts and laughter.
After all, in the face of the adversity faced by Re-estize, a man talented to fight on the front lines against the enemies is always well appreciated.
The boy who was running to catch up with Hiyama watches as Hiyama flies away with two shining eyes.
"Eren... the food should be..."
Mikasa, the girl behind Eren can't finish speaking, the boy, Eren, has already embarked on a determined run, his eyes focused on Hiyama's silhouette as his legs begin to work intensely.
"Sir Hiyama... I'll catch up."
Eren thinks determinedly as he runs, his ears seeming unable to hear the small, hysterical Mikasa running hurriedly behind him.
Meanwhile, in the strange store that caused Enri Emmot's wrath, a sour-faced man sighs with some disappointment.
"Why do the last customers run away before I can offer them my discounted products?"
The man laments, he really wanted to show the power and size of his big stick to Enri Emmot.
This man's name is Matt, a man who seven years ago was living a random life in a normal world called earth, in fact his life was that of a slave to the code.
One day he simply died because one of his clients, who claimed that Matt had slept with his wife, came to his office to take revenge.
Then Matt was transported to this strange world, with no knowledge of what to do or how to move, Matt wandered around for several days until a gentle looking girl gave him a gift of a store with strange goods that she could sell to some customers.
She gave her some generous gold coins and then the girl simply did not return.
Matt was confused, but he wouldn't refuse the bread that fell into his hands without him making any effort.
In these seven years, in fact, he was only able to sell one product, a strange stick with a skull nailed to the end whose name in the inventory was.... "Baculum of the Last Necromancer."
There was also a descriuption in the inventory, "Which is a large thick book", in which the history of the baculum was written.
"Baculum whose branch belongs to the world tree and whose skull was taken from the legendary Kel'thuzad, the skull was reduced in size thanks to a spell of the creator, and then the skull was attached to the branch of the world tree."
"It looks magical..."
That's what Matt said at first, however, no matter what he did, or how he moved the staff, that crappy staff just looked like any other stick.
However, this was not a disappointment to Matt, he simply took the words written on the booklet as a joke and went on with his life.
One day, a strange young man who looked like a Japanese villain out of one of those cartoons seen by the young people of Matt's old world approached his store.
"Sir, I saw the name of your store, and I want to buy something from you."
The young man struck a sort of power ranger pose or something like that according to Matt before grinning ghoulishly.
"I am... I am, my name is Daisuke Hiyama, and I have surely been transported to this kingdom to accomplish a great..."
The man swallowed saliva as he looked at Matt at that moment, just for a moment before sighing with some exhasperation.
Something had changed in him after seeing one of his companions get devoured by a beast not too long ago.
In the Heiligh realm not far from the Re-estize realm, Hiyama who had been jealous because Kaori was in love with Haijme pushed the latter into the Orcus maze before escaping from that great beast.
However, the reality shock that came after that when he realized that he might have killed one of his companions made him quietly escape one night from the Heiligh realm and come to the Re-estize realm.
In fact, Hiyama influenced by guilt and shame registered as an adventurer in Re-estize by paying several gold coins he stole from his trainer in Heiligh Kingdom.
Hiyama had been watching Matt begging on the streets a while back, although he didn't want to admit it, he was reminded of Nagumo being beaten by him and couldn't help but feel guilty.
Then, Hiyama seeing how Matt was a store owner couldn't help but smile, and project Nagumo's figure on Matt.
Then.
"What do you have to offer me, sir?"
Hiyama said with a sly smile.
"Well... I have this, it's... the Staff of the last necromancer, Kel'thuzad, it was forged from the wood of the world tree itself, and the skull on the tip belongs to the archmage Kel'thuzad..."
Hiyama nodded his head at Matt's foolishness, inside Hiyama was laughing out loud, and something inside him made him want to punch this sour-faced middle-aged man.
Does this ugly, sour-faced man really think that cheating and swindling him is so easy?
If it weren't for Nagumo's figure being projected by himself in Matt, Hiyama would have already slapped that sour-faced man a long time ago.
"You need say no more, sir... I will buy the Staff of.... Kel'thuzad."
