Chapter 302: Second date (2)
After coming into the store, we headed in a specific direction.
This was my first time in this store of Awakeners, but since I came, I had already figured out what I wanted to get.
I had no idea what Claire wanted, but there were a few things that I did want. So I would take advantage of this chance to get them.
Claire seemingly just followed me as we went through the store.
It didn't seem like she knew what she wanted to get.
When she acted this way, it made it very clear what she wanted, but there was a problem.
Even if they tried to act like they weren't looking at us, it was very clear that there was a group of people who were following us.
From what I could see, it seemed to be the same group of people that had gathered around Claire earlier.
Were they still trying to get with her or was it something else?
It had to be something else since I could see the way that they were looking at me.
It wasn't just them being angry at me, but rather it was as if they were trying to find something wrong with me that they could use.
I didn't know any of these people, so there shouldn't be a reason for them to do anything like this.
Just why were they following us like this?
Could it be that they followed whoever had tried to trap me after the raid dungeon incident?
Were they here to cause trouble for me or were they here for something else?
For now, there was no need to think too much about it and I should focus on Claire first.
After walking around for a bit, I turned to her and asked, "What should we look at first?"
They had come here to buy things for their group, or at least that was the excuse that Claire had given him.
Since that was the case, he wanted to see what kind of plan she had to invite him here.
Claire had a surprised look on her face when she heard this before revealing an awkward look and saying, "I really don't know. I didn't think about what we would need, so I just thought that we could walk around and find something."
I couldn't help revealing a surprised look when I heard this.
I looked at her with narrowed eyes, as if I was trying to figure out if she was being serious or not.
But the look on her face made it clear that she really didn't have a plan.
She had actually been planning on just walking around without any clue of what they were supposed to buy.
It seemed that her age was still something.
She was younger than me, but I forgot that sometimes because of how well she followed orders.
But in reality, she was just a teenager who didn't think things through.
Even asking me out like this was most likely an impulse that she suddenly had after everything that happened.
I gave a sigh and said, "Haven't you been looking for a new weapon? How about we go and find one for you?"
Claire revealed a surprised look when she heard this before giving a nod with a happy smile.
She was happy because she never thought that he would remember something like this and even suggested they go shopping for a new weapon together.
Seeing her act this way, I really couldn't help giving a secret sigh.
Who would have thought that such a simple girl would have caused me so much trouble recently.
Because of how she kept clashing with Long Shui Ling, she had caused me quite a bit of a headache before.
But now she was being tamed so easily with just a few words…
It really was a stark contrast.
Claire used bows, so we went to the ranged weapon department.
This was a department that had all kinds of ranged weapons and as we walked through it, it would be a lie to say that my eyes didn't wander. I couldn't help being attracted by the guns that they had on display.
These were mana guns that used the user's mana to shoot mana bullets.
These were guns that could be used by any Awakener since all Awakeners had mana of some form. These guns were designed to absorb the passive mana of Awakeners and gather them in the form of bullets to shoot.
So these were guns that most Awakeners would be able to use regardless of their rank.
That was because they also accepted mana from magic stones, so it didn't matter how weak one was.
But these were regulated because of how easily they could be used and one couldn't buy them that easily.
Which was why I had never been able to buy them before.
But they looked very cool and I thought that I would look cool holding one, so I had always wanted one.
Still, it wasn't the time for that now.
I went over to the bow section with Claire and waited on the side as she chose one that she liked.
There really wasn't much that I could add at this point since this was going to be her weapon. It was something that she would be using often, so it was something that she had to be comfortable with.
The only way to make sure that she was comfortable with it was for her to test these bows out herself.
After a while, she finally decided on two that she liked, but she could only buy one.
It wasn't that she couldn't afford it, but rather the other would go to waste since she could only carry one of these bows with her at all times.
Seeing that she was struggling to choose, I seized this opportunity and went forward.
I went behind her and suddenly brought my arms up to reach around her.
Claire was shocked when she saw this, but in no time at all, my hands had taken her hands and were helping her hold the bow.
