Swinging around treetops and flying through the air was super fun. In a world that already granted you immense freedom of movement, getting to soar through the air and experience the thrill of free-falling was a wonderful sensation not readily available in real life. If Akarin could, she would spend every moment in Elysium arcing through the sky!

Unfortunately, she was still pretty terrible at properly utilising her chains for such a task. Also, it was annoyingly difficult to find suitable locations to do so - indoor dungeons or whatever were too cramped, and areas outside were not the most reliable for swinging points. Also, for reasons totally not her own fault, sometimes her spearheads failed to stick to anything and she'd end up plummeting onto her face. Akarin was the exact opposite of an experienced gamer, and perhaps even less experienced when it came to properly taking responsibility, so she had managed to figure out it was most definitely the game's fault for those shortcomings.

She found herself wandering the marketplace on the advice of some other players, suggesting she might need to 'upgrade' her stuff. That was a tad annoying if true, but it wasn't like she wouldn't be able to afford it, right? Let's see, they'd named a certain shop that seemed to sell decently strong stuff, though Akarin had missed the hesitant tone that accompanied that suggestion. Oh, that was it, right? Ifrit's Hammer!

It already seemed a little busy when she arrived, peering through the doorway to find several others inside. If it was this lively, that could only mean their goods and services were in high demand, right?! Even if she had to wait a bit, Akarin didn't mind doing some window-shopping in the meantime.

"S'cuse me~" Akarin give a cheerful little apology as she slipped past the tall witch-looking girl. Sometimes it amazed the fox just how... varied the inhabitants were. Well, the players at any rate. It was rare to see two people with a vaguely similar style. Her eyes wandered to the nun that seemed ready to beat someone up, and that would have been fun to see, but...

"Geh?"

What the hell was that freaky looking mask over there?!
