"Well, what are we going to buy here?" Clovis asked, looking at the store. It wasn’t a big store. In fact, it was located in a small alley that barely fit a single car.
Jay dropped them off outside the alley, so they had to walk in for quite a bit.
"I usually buy electronic equipment here. I am thinking about customizing our skyglasses in this store. Since we still have some time before meeting Melody, how about going in?" Kanaria extended her hand.
"Sure." Clovis nodded with a smile.
As soon as Kanaria opened the store, they were greeted by a warm welcome.
A short middle-aged man politely bowed to them. "Welcome to the Bull Electronic."
Even the store was furnished with a lot of wooden materials to make it much warmer compared to the dark and cold alley.
In the center of the store, Clovis could see several shelves. There were skyglasses, radio communications, and even trackers. The big items were placed on the right corner, while the opposite side only had a long table. It seemed that was where they usually handled the maintenance.
"Oh my. What a familiar face! Welcome, Miss Kanaria." The middle-aged man immediately corrected his words and noticed the man next to her. "It’s rare to find you with a gentleman. Are you perhaps on a date?"
"Don’t tease me." Kanaria pouted, hiding her embarrassment.
"I apologize." The middle-aged man smiled as if he were satisfied with her reaction.
"Anyway, is the master there?"
"Of course."
"I’d like to customize the skyglasses and buy some stuff here." Kanaria took off the device and projected a screen that contained the list of items.
The middle-aged man looked at the list for a bit and said, "We do have everything here. It’s just that we don’t have enough supply for two items here."
"Which ones?"
"The infrared sensors and the connectors."
"Oh?" Kanaria looked down, contemplating.
"I understand infrared sensors, but what are connectors?" Clovis asked.
"Well, an item to connect radars. I mean, you can get information about the radar easily, but the radar will be with you the whole time. Hence, I’m thinking about getting a lot of radars and connecting them, creating a huge area of visibility. It’s a bit hard to explain, but we can actually see the way the beast waves move, which allows us to divide them and even eliminate a portion at a time."
"Oh!" Clovis nodded. He understood the usage. If there was another beast wave like last time, they could eliminate them with this method.
"When are you going to restock them?"
"We are not very sure. The master has talked about it, but it’s a bit hard to procure them. The most we can do is get some materials and make this ourselves."
"I see. I will try to find an alternative. But I will call you if I still need it." Kanaria nodded in understanding.
"Thank you. In that case, I will call the master and prepare the items you need." The middle-aged man smiled.
It didn’t take too long before a deep, rough voice echoed inside the store.
"Oh! Kanaria is visiting?" A bald middle-aged man came. Clovis was a bit surprised because, despite working on such delicate items, the man was very muscular. His height was beyond two meters, making Clovis feel so small.
"Yep." Kanaria waved her hand. "I’d like to customize the skyglasses. Can you do it?"
"Of course, but it seems that we have another friend here." The bald man looked at Clovis with a frown.
"Hello, I’m Clovis." Clovis nodded his head as a greeting.
"Are you the one playing with her heart?" The bald man’s face was distorted as if he wanted to gnaw Clovis’s head.
"Why are both of you teasing me?" Kanaria glared at the bald man.
*Cough!* The man calmed down and hid the embarrassment with a cough. He said, "It can’t be helped. I still remember the first time you came here with your mother. You were so tiny."
"It was almost a decade ago."
"But you came every now and then for the last few years. It was like seeing my own daughter grow up." The bald man chuckled.
"Geez." Kanaria pouted. "Anyway, I want—!"

"I know, I know." The bald man walked toward the table on the side. "Come here. Let’s customize the skyglasses. What do you want?"
Kanaria and Clovis followed the man. Kanaria explained, "Can you stop the communication from being jammed?"
"Mhmm…" The bald man thought for a moment. "It’s not possible, but I have an alternative. If we can add a force field, you should be able to communicate within a certain area. It will block the jamming."
"A force field?"
"Well, I’m just making it simple for you to understand. Or do you want a lesson about it during your date?"
"…" Kanaria wanted to say something, but ended up shaking her head. "I will look into it later. So, this will produce some sort of magnetic field that will block the jamming… Will the item be heavy?"
"No. But it will need a lot of energy. So, at best, you can only use it for ten minutes."
"The range?"
"5 meters in radius. You can overlap it to get a longer reach."
"Then, we’ll take that." Kanaria agreed without hesitation.
"It seems that you fought a rather annoying opponent…" The bald man smiled.
"Ahahaha…" Kanaria rubbed her cheek. "That’s right. I also want to integrate a Gold Class map later. So, can you adjust it?"
"Oh, a Gold Class? If I’m not wrong, your parents aren’t going to pay for this one, right? It seems that your group has become good enough for a Gold Class map."
"Hehe." Kanaria smiled, but Clovis suddenly handed over his device. "If you want a Gold Class map, you can use mine. I still have over a month."
"Eh?" Kanaria blinked a few times while the bald man dropped his tools. Kanaria asked, "You have a Gold Class map?"
"I got it. Consider it a freebie for newbies." Clovis had been using the map for himself, but after a while, he knew he could trust them. At first, he wanted to reveal it before the last exploration, since they already had items from Another World Mall as well as the teachings of his parents.
But giving them too much would just make them think that Clovis had done all this while they didn’t contribute much. So, he postponed it.
Since Kanaria wanted to have one, he finally revealed it so as not to waste their money.
