Blood Of Platinum
Chapters 277. End of the Relaxing Day Before the Exam
Now, Kaito who has received a challenge from the store owner must be ready with his ability to assess the goods.
In front of him there are 4 types of dagger which 3 of them had been bid by Ryou.
“Well, look at all these knives. If you're used to buying weapons like you mentioned, it shouldn't be hard. Or are you just bragging? Ahahaha!!”
“The fat guy is just as annoying to the fat guy Sakizawa-sensei. I really want to make him shy!” ryou grumbled with an annoyed face
“Ryou, you should have tried to restrain yourself”
“Defence from abnormal price it's name is crime!”
“But if you don't like it, we should go well and find somewhere else. In this case, even if we manage to win will not complete any”
“Who said didn't finish anything? We've done two things later, which is make him shy and get free stuff. All we need to do after that is laugh evilly and reject them with a demeaning attitude”
“Ryou, it's evil once”
“That's good for me, my brother. You'll know his satisfaction later”
“I never taught my sister to behave like that”
“I learned it myself, so no need to regret anything”
Ryou's devious smile made Kino look confused and asked in his heart.
‘We-sama, why can my sister be like this? This must be because at home often watch anime and manga full of cruelty’ action
Now, they were looking at Kaito who was being stared at very low with insults from the store owner.
The shopkeeper nearby only looked panicked and anxious, not inferior to Kino.
“Come, don't waste my time. Hurry up and tell me you can see it. You're not using magic to detect this, are you? Huh! I thought you were boasting. Pay 1,000 Penny Libra to me, now!”
“Oi! You are crazy, right?! He's not finished!” Ryou shouted
“What do you mean? Your friend is just bragging. Look at him, not saying anything at all” said the store owner while holding his mustache
“You want me to make skinny instantly huh? That's not the rule of the game, is it? You said it yourself that he had to guess first! Kaito hasn't said anything and you've asked for the money! Basic crab!”
“What?! What do you call me?!”
“Kiting! Fisted crab, boiled crab, full fat fat fat crab and cholesterol, slippery bald crab! Want to hear again?!” Ryou shouted towards the fat man
“Basic brat brat!”
“Ryou, stop it!” Kino tried to hold her sister
“Owner, don't let your hair fall out again!” his employees also began to hold his boss in panic
Kaito casually held all the dagger and looked at the mark at the bottom of the hilt. All signs are the same. Then, Kaito put it back down after seeing the details at a glance.
He only sighed shortly and said, “Master, it's best not to sell items that are easily corroded because of your poor care”
“Hah?”
Everyone is silent. Kaito still continued his long sentence.
“It is better to stop selling goods with high corrosion rate like this. In addition, the shortcoming of this thing is that I just realized that you sell a dagger without a sheath that makes this thing exposed to air every time”
“You also don't seem so happy to take care of your weapon and make it seem expensive by wearing a big brand as a mainstay. In this case, your business can be destroyed later”
Hearing that remark, the fat man got angry and scolded Kaito.
“Who would you dare to say such nonsense!”
“However, the weakness of this material is air and if it is not treated after use it will quickly rust”
“There is quite a lot of rust here makes me sure the possibility of this knife has been used or tried several times. But it seems that you are so indifferent to it, mister”
Hearing Kaito's reply, the fat man instantly blushed like a matured crab. He doesn't seem to accept Kaito's words.
“Do not origin provide evidence without proof! Where might I sell used goods to my customers!”
Kaito had enough to face the old man and no longer wanted to play around with him. He directly took out a knife on the table and showed a certain part to her.
“Then, explain this section. Here, there is a bit of rust and this scratch is a knife mark that fell”
“A knife like this, if ever dropped will leave a little scratch. And for people who are very fond of weapons, this object will be considered a defect”
“In addition, normally the price of a knife like this will not be so expensive. If you want to sell goods that are anti-rust quality, you should choose those that produce titanium anti-rust, other materials such as satin steel are also not bad”
“The tip of the dagger that you are also has less steel hardness so that between the blades with the ends become less stable if used or thrown”
“For this part, it is best to look for one using strong and smooth and stable powder-metallurgical steel. And an important part of a dagger is wear resistance. Supposedly, master understands this”
“.....” everyone is silent
Not only were the shopkeepers shocked, the two sisters and the shopkeeper were also shocked. Being too shocked, they seem to have forgotten the purpose of this real challenge.
Kaito put the knife back on the table and looked seriously at the shop owner.
“If you dare to sell cheap goods for profit like this, you will regret it later. Especially if the one who buys it is a person who understands, this store of yours can be made closed forever”
“We don't need free stuff from you. It's just, you better be honest if you really sell something. If it gets like this again, just pray that this place can still produce more Penny Libra”
Kaito immediately walked out of the shop after staring coldly at the shop owner. Seeing Kaito come out, Kino came out and pulled his sister's hand before she said anything.
“Shouldn't pull my hand too! I'm not done berate maki him!”
“That's exactly my goal of attracting you!” Kino still hasn't let go of her brother's hand
“I want to go back to that place and laugh in front of the fat guy!”
“Cannot!”
“Stop that, Ryou. it's all done so no more trouble” Kaito stops and looks towards the two of them, “I'm sorry for taking you there. If you know this, I won't ask you to come in”
“What are you talking about? It wasn't your fault! That fat guy who sells stuff at an abnormal price. The object is not good it is sold at such a high price, people will definitely think twice if you want to buy it!”
“No need to apologize, Kaito-san. Besides, I was surprised Kaito-san knew all those things”
“I used to go to a ‘world’ and there I met an acquaintance who knew about making weapons. Although not close but I learned some things from him”
“Hmm, it turns out that there is also a point in you exploring all the strange places in the obscure ‘world’ for the sake of your memory gems” Ryou made his comment
“Not bad either, right?”
“Not bad. Now, we go back to the store and curse the fat guy. Come Kino!”
“What?!”
Ryou was really happy to look for trouble. “I'm still not satisfied if I haven't scolded her! We're going there right now! I'll laugh at him and I'll look at him with a look full of contempt. Ehehe~”
Kino tries hard to hold back her sister, “Don't do it, Ryou! I said stop your bad intentions!”
Finally the peaceful afternoon had really turned into a hard working day for Kino.
