Leaving the weapon shop, with nobody buying anything thus earning the ire of the shopkeeper, Maria headed to the item shop next. Fortunately, the shopkeeper this time, a middle-aged pudgy woman, was far kinder than the previous guy. She readily explained the various available herbs and potions that she could purchase.

"I take it that you people are new adventurers?" the shopkeeper asked with a kind smile. Unlike the weapon shopkeeper, she seemed to tolerate people who barely know a thing about adventuring and the like.

"Y-yes, something like that," Maria replied. There was no way she would explain everything that had happened to them! And it wasn't like the woman would believe it anyways.

Maria ended up purchasing a good amount of healing potions and all sorts of anti-status effect herbs. She was pretty sure her spending was quite overkill, but she wanted to be safe anyways. Poisoned, paralyzed, all that nasty, nasty stuff, she wouldn't ever want to get caught with them!

After her visit to the item shop, she headed towards the armor shop, but in the way, she went pass the tavern and she saw Raymon and Aaron conversing with each other.

"Ah, you two are here," Maria said with a smile after she walked up to them. "So, got anything nice from back there?" she gestured towards the tavern. "I just purchased some supplies from the item shop myself. And I even bought myself a nice little bag to carry them in," She showed off the red handbag that was slung to her body.
