Way Too Much Money
What's with that face? You look way too serious all of a sudden.
Wait, don't tell me this is about to be another lecture?
*Sigh* You do realize your lectures never actually change me, right?
Right. You said you wanted to live with being cool.
Yeah. And?
But does that really mean blowing through your money—
Is the only way to live stylishly?
Hehehe! I know. But hey, there's nothing like money to buy a good-looking life.
Ah! This might be a good time for you to see for yourself!
You'll totally change your mind!
What I mean is—
La la la! Not listening!
Just follow me for today. Trust me.
A full-course, specially curated for you, Captain!
C'mon! You only live once. Gotta live cool, don't you think?
Trish ignored every word I said and grabbed me by the hand.
Every kind of gear for a Savior! Welcome to Big Savior Gear Equi—
Hey, boss! It's me! I came to shop!
Ooh! My store's best suck—
I mean, spender, Miss Trish! What can I help you with today?
It's not for me this time. Today's all about our Captain over here.
But first, what's that in the display case over there?
Haha. Excellent eye, Miss Trish. You sure know your gear.
This is a state-of-the-art magitech guard. It automatically absorbs shock once it exceeds a set limit.
A luxury piece straight from Kemet Industries' newest premium line!
I'll take one. Captain, it's in your size, right?
It's for me...?
Of course. This whole trip is for you. And...
Hey, boss. What's the best-selling item these days?
Hmm... This prestige saddle's been flying off the shelves lately.
It's super comfy, and you can mount it on either a horse or a bike hog.
It even includes a built-in heating and ventilation system!
Ooh, nice! Toss that in too.
We don't even have a horse or a bike hog...
Hehehe. The way of the hunter! Always be prepared for the future!
Just buy it. You'll use it eventually!
Since when have you ever prepared for the future...?
From there, Trish just kept piling things into the cart without stopping.
A coat defense enhancement kit with artisan-stitched quilting and...
A hood cover imbued with water-proof magic. Looks like a perfect match for you, Captain!
Premium leather sheath. This one looks solid. And next...
Come again soon!
Nice! On to the next stop!
Welcome!
Got anything good for fatigue recovery?
Hmm... Maybe start by browsing the Vitality Potions over here?
Captain, didn't you say you ran out of Vitality Potions?
Yeah, I did, but...
Hmm... Then I'll take one of everything from here to there.
Ahh... I feel alive again...
Anywhere else feeling sore?
My shoulders... They're totally stiff...
My back...
Understood!
Here's a complimentary dessert to enjoy while you relax.
It's our treat for guests using the spa and massage services at Golden Statehill Hotel.
This ice cream's made from milk sourced from cows raised stress-free on wide open pastures.
We even deliver them out to the Eastern Continent's royal court places, so it should suit your palate!
Ooh...! This is delicious! Isn't it, Captain?
I-it's really good...
Hahaha! Told you so!
You're always lecturing me, but look at you! You're totally loving this!
...Ngh.
I couldn't deny it.
How did this happen? When did I get swept up in her energy?
Feels good, right? Isn't this fun? Totally thrilling, huh?
Let me know if anything hurts, okay?
Aahhh...
Hahaha! Captain, that noise you just made was priceless!
This isn't good... If this keeps up, my plan to give Trish a proper lecture is doomed...!
But... lying on a cozy bed while eating ice cream? Who can resist that?
Maybe splurging now and then is necessary for long-term growth...?
Just for today... this might be fine.
Right?
