Chapter 77 – Shelter Building [2]

"Welcome."

A deep, clear voice rang from the figure. Based on it, Max guessed that it belonged to a man, even if his figure was not clear and ambiguous.

"Customers, step inside, and let's do the trade."

— No matter how I see him, I can't trust this merchant

— How shady. This is why he's called a shady merchant.

— How come all shop owners in this game have this getup? Are they connected somehow?!

— They are an anonymous group and have many different people running shops. I bet their group is called SHADY with capitals, though

— I really like this NPC! It gives me a mysterious vibe!

Shady merchant. From how the shop owner looked, that name really fit and described it quite well.

Max entered the building, and the merchant pulled the string hanging near his head. Some mechanisms worked. Gear turned loudly, closing the door and locking it safely.
