CSA 45 - I Tried Sightseeing (Patreon)

Difas country.
It is a fantasy city filled with sparkling white water and overflowing with nature.

No, it's actually full of white buildings, lined up with canals, there are mysterious fountains with floating objet d'art all over, and the roadside trees are planted systematically, making it the most isekai fantasy cityscape I've ever seen.
I guess until now, it felt like I had traveled back in time to the Middle Ages. To speak badly of them, they’re old-fashioned.

For now, let’s find an inn and then go sightseeing.

*

“Remote control knife, blood splatter hammer, dragon lancer, they sure are expensive.”

After somehow deciding on a small, family-run inn, I took a stroll around the city.

I looked into a weapon shop on the street, but the items were all expensive and I didn't think I could buy them.
I don't think I need magic items after all this time though. I can make my own anyway.
Saying that I am honing my design sense might sound good, but I’m just trying to rip them off.

“Next, I guess I’ll go to a restaurant or a clothing store.”

It might be hard to move if my stomach is full, so I’ll go look for clothes first.

“Ooh, this is another avant-garde one...”

There were rows of clothing that was too avant-garde to be called native costumes for beastkins.
As you’d expect, I didn't feel like buying them, so let’s go to another store.

“There's a hole in the butt... ah, for the tail, huh. And this one in the back, for the wings, maybe?”

I went into a decent clothing store and took a look around.
Hmm, still, with this assortment, it doesn't seem like there are any clothes for humans.
Let’s just look at the design and make it myself later.

“Welcome, dear customer, how may I help you? Would you like to try them on? This one fits you perfectly and looks great! I think it would go well with what you are wearing right now!”

“Wh... at...!?”

It can’t be, I never thought it would exist even in another world...!
Guah, the memories from my previous life are!
The dead fish look in the eyes of the clerk at the clothing store I went to with my parents, it appeared in my mind!
Stop! Don't try to talk to me at the exact moment I’m separated from my parents like you were aiming for it!
It brought back the embarrassing memory of me only being able to say “ah” and “uh” when they asked me, “Would you like to try it on?” before taking off my pants on the spot!

“How about something like this...”
“Excuse me, I'll try it at another chance.”

I quickly left the store.

*

“That was, an unpleasant incident, wasn't it...”

I sit on a bench in the park and pat my head as if my previous life self was trying to comfort me.
In the end, they are both me, so I stopped right away though.

I’ve caught a the-clerk-coming-to-talk-to-me-is-scary-scary-itis, so I think I'm going to go back to the inn and rest quietly today.

“Oya?”

On my way back to the inn, I found something that wasn’t unusual in my previous life, a musical instrument store.
In short, this is the first musical instrument store I have ever seen in this different world.
I was surprised that instruments itself existed in the first place.
Even in Lotorl's memory, music was only either singing or dancing, so the concept of musical instruments itself did not exist.

“I want to see!”

The moment I said those words, I dashed into the musical instrument store.

“Ooh, guitar, piano, drums, flute, and these are violin and trumpet, amazing!”

But, however, their price is ridiculously high.
At this price, there is no way it would be sold in a rural town.
Even the cheap one is 5 million El, which is affordable for common people, but they won’t put out their money for these.

If so, let’s make them myself. Yes, let's do that.

I use Appraisal Skill to examine the structure of the instruments, and use Memory Preservation Magic to make sure I don't forget the structure I examined.
After memorizing the structure of all the instruments in the musical instrument store, I returned to the inn.

As you’d expect, I ended up staying there for a long time, so I bought a guitar pick set for 10,000 El before going back.
10,000 El for a pack of 5, as I thought, it's too expensive.
