One day, while waiting for the duel with Girard, set to be held 3 days later.
“Falnido is more lively than a country of humans, huh?”
“If I were to say it in a few words, it’s because the customs and cultures are quite different from tribe to tribe.”
Shin, who said so, spoke without any particular reason, but was dutifully answered by Cuore.
Four days had already passed since Shin came to Girard’s place in Elden.
It’s not good to stay in the library all the time, said Schnee and Tiera; which was the reason they were sightseeing in the town. Cuore who heard them, immediately announced she would become his guide, which is how they reached their current state.
Only Cuore walked next to Shin, except for Yuzuha who was sleeping on top of Shin’s head. Tiera was doing a completely different action of siding herself alongside Schnee.
Tiera, who was taken away by Schnee, had a gloomy face, or it was probably just his imagination. Shin deceived himself, she’ll feel better when she comes back.
“Though I only took you to the recommended places until now, is there anywhere Shin-dono would like to go?”
The capital of Falnido was decided on as the city where the king resides. Therefore, the current capital was here at Elden. He had heard the explanation from Schnee, but naturally it was not on a scale that could be called a village. It would be difficult to finish going around it in one day.
“Places I want to go, huh?”
Since Cuore already guided him to some extent, it didn’t occur to him right away.
“So?”
While thinking about where he wanted to go, what entered Shin’s line of sight was the signboard of a certain shop. Shin who saw it, for some reason, picked Yuzuha up from on top of his head and brought it before his face.
“Kuu?”
Yuzuha, who was suddenly being held, barked like it wanted to say: “What is it?”
“That reminds me, I have a feeling that Yuzuha’s fur is going from a bad situation to a worse one.”
One of Rokuten’s members, Cashmere, had taught him a lot of things about taking care of monsters. Was this because hugging a monster that had a good coat fur let one thoroughly enjoy its fluffiness? The present Shin understood the disorder of its fur to some degree. Of course, there was no such skill in the game. But when he stared at it closely, he was certain that the coat hair was deteriorating after all.
“For the moment, may I stop at that shop?”
“That one? Ah, I see. I understand.”
Cuore, who saw the shop, somewhat knew what Shin thought, and agreed immediately.
When they passed through the door and entered, a Dog-type woman came over.
“Welcome. What are you looking for today?”
After the woman shifted her attention from Cuore, who was standing next to Shin and Yuzuha, whom he carried, she shifted her pleasant eyes toward Shin.
Shin felt like he was being somewhat misunderstood.
“I need a brush for brushing, but I also want you to show me some combs….”
“Certainly. Here please.”
In the place which that woman guided them, there were big and small brushes displayed. Ignoring the employee who was speaking slowly, Shin looked at the brushes.
Apparently, there were materials that were prefered by different races, although they looked the same, they varied from materials to prices.
Dog, Wolf, Fox, and so on seemed to have similar preferences, as they were sold together.
“Amazing. Do you have something like personalized brushes here?”
“For a particular person, they can get the material by themselves.”
It was not rare, as Cuore had one, too. As Shin felt admiration for the beasts’ obsession to brush, suddenly he remembered these kinds of things. It was by the greatest tamer; the article that had been carefully made by Cashmere. It was something that seemed comfortable when Girard was brushed in the game era.
“I don’t have much time to explore, so I should care for Yuzuha every once in a while.”
“Kuu!”
He purchased some items to improve the coat of hair, and they exited the shop.
When they returned to the residence, Shin sat on the veranda outside of the room, and took out the brush, ‘Gloomy Star’, from his Item Box. It had a dark appearance, like a common brush. But the handle was made from the World Tree’s trunk, and the bristles of the brush were made from the materials removed from a level 800 gigantic monster with a large mass of hair, called Tyrant Bristle.
By the way, here is the description: , was one sentence that appeared. With brushing alone, cat, dog, horse and so forth, the favorability of the monster for each model increased. It was certainly a super brush.
Originally, there were various kinds of brushes; this brush was for hair loss, the furballs were collected and broken down by the magic item; it was also a magic tool.
“Keep still.”
Shin said, and he put the brush on Yuzuha’s back. First, it was gentle, as the brush loosened up the hairs.
