For those who might have forgotten, one of the most important things while diving into the dungeon is being prepared. No matter how talented you are at combat or how strong, fast, or durable you are, miss dungeon would never let you have your way in it.

Therefore, I am always visiting the Blue Pharmacy before I enter the dungeon as a first thing after I leave the church.

Since I have been a frequent visitor and God Miach is a close friend of Hestia, we have made a deal with them to have a discount.

After leaving the church, I started going towards to the Blue Pharmacy, which is behind the church on the western side of the Orario.

When I reached there, the first person to welcome me was a blue-haired man with bangs felling over his eyes. However, if you look closely, you can see the aura he is emitting, coupled with his handsome looks. It would make you understand that he was a god.

"Good morning, Wayne-kun. You are pretty early today."

Yes, it was the God Miach. Seeing me enter, he greeted me with a kind smile on his face.

"Good morning, Miach-sama. Are you the one looking for the shop today?"

Seeing him politely greeting me, I greeted him as well. Talking with God Miach is always like that since he is a polite and kind person. He is always talking with a kind tone that would make the person in front of him comfortable.

However, to be honest, sometimes his kindness bothers me. Although he has a good heart, he doesn't have the qualities to manage a business. At least, this is what I have observed. Since from time to time, I have seen him giving potions freely to other adventurers out of kindness, not considering the situation his store is in.

"Yes, today I am looking over the store since Naaza is sick."

'Hmm, a person working in the pharmacy is sick. Although it is normal, it feels still kind of ironic.' I thought while giving her my regards.

"I see. I hope she gets better soon."

"Well, she is recovering in her house right now, and I am checking on her from time to time, so you don't have to worry."

"Okay, then. Send her my regards."

"I will. How many potions are you going to buy today?"

"Well, I am planning to buy five mind potions and ten normal potions today."

"Hmm, are you planning to dive deeper than usual?"

Seeing me ordering more than usual, he got a serious expression on his face and asked while preparing the potions I had ordered.

"Yes, I am planning to dive 7th-floor and maybe 8th-floor today."

I said since it is not a big deal to say that to Miach. I think he is one of the last people that would sell a person close to him.

"I see. I wish you good luck. Here is your order, although I hope you won't need to use them."

He said with a slight smile on his face and handed me the potions I ordered.

"How much is it?"

"That would be 48k Valis."

"Here. Have a good day."

Handing him a 50k Valis, I started leaving.

"Wayne-kun, you have given me a bit much."

"It doesn't matter. Take it as a help for Naaza-san's sickness and send her my regards."

"Ah, thank you, then. I will tell Naaza about that."

Saying that I left the Blue Pharmacy and headed to the Babel Tower with a slight smile on my face. Although I am quite a selfish person and generally think about myself, seeing the happy expressions on the face of people close to me somehow makes my heart flutter a bit. This is the first time I am experiencing this.

Anyway, since I have been using my blades without maintenance for the past month, I think they have started wearing down quite a bit, and I think it is time for the maintenanc, so I decided to check the blacksmith Wakhaic.

When I reached the Babel Tower, I directly went to the floor that belongs to the Blacksmiths of the Hephaestus Familia and started looking around at the new products while trying to see a certain someone that has a very huge impact on the story of Danmachi.

A certain red-haired boy should have appeared around this time in the original, I think, but not seeing him is also quite normal, considering this world is real and have infinite possibilities.

After looking around for a little, I gave up and headed towards to the Wakhaic's workshop. Before I entered his workshop, I hid my swords in my inventory since I didn't want him to know that I had a weapon from the hands of the Goddess of Forge herself. That might make him feel overwhelmed.

When I reached his store, I saw it was open and entered it, pushing the door.

"Yo, old man, are you here?"

Entering the store, I called for the Wakhaic.

"Ha, who are you, at this early in the morning?"

With a grumbling face, a familiar dwarf with a huge beard came from the backside.

"Hey, old man. Is this how you treat your customers? Know I understood why no one comes to your shop."

"Ah, it is you, Wayne boy. Now, you remembered my shop? And, if you don't come to my shop, of course, you won't see anybody coming either."

"Hai, hai, whatever. I am here for the maintenance of my blades."

"Well, it was about time you came to my foot for that. Show me the blades, and it won't take too long, don't worry."

"Here, take it."

Saying that I made the five blades float with my magic and slowly landed them on the table in front of Wakhaic.

"Do you think you are cool or something? Don't you know using magic outside of the dungeon is prohibited?"

"Shut up and check the blades, old man."

After grumbling with my magic usage, he started looking at the blades while putting her one-sided glass(?) on his left eye.

"Who have you used these blades on? It looks like they have worn out quite a lot. Did you dive into the middle floors with a party or something?"

He asked while grabbing one blade pulling it closer to me.

"Do you see those marks? There is no way my blades would be this wore down in the first ten floors, and I have already said that to you, didn't I?"

Showing those little white marks on the blades, he said with a slightly angry tone.

"Well, it was a Silverback. Since the situation required me to act, I fought with it."

I said while scratching the back of my head.

"Hmm, so you beat a Silverback. Wait, a Silverback? I see now. You are the one that fought with Silverback in front of the Colosseum, aren't you? Those marks now completely make sense."

Wakhaic said while making an understanding expression.

"Old man, can you fix them or not? I don't have much time to chat."

"Okay, okay, Mister Blade Dancer. They don't look that bad, don't worry. It will take at most ten minutes to finish. Wait here for a moment."

Saying that he left me in the front and went to his workshop, and returned just as he said after ten minutes.

"Now, they are as good as new. Be careful in the dungeon, kid. It seems there are some cases where adventurers went missing.

"I will, don't worry, old man."

Saying that I left the workshop and headed to the dungeon…
