Kim answered while shoving his hands into the pockets of his jacket. “[color=00a651]For weapons, I would suggest Marcus Kincaid. He has a lot of weapons, but you’ll have to haggle with him to lower the price. Or you could see Valeria, who has a good amount of melee weapons you could choose from. You could also see Seagrave Holmes for supplies and clothes.[/color]” Kim assumed Harry was more interested in getting some weapons and supplies. Harry was probably content with wearing his somewhat out of date outfit. The two men started walking around the lower tier of Esaka looking for a suitable store. Harry stopped in his tracks, pointing to one of the many shops that was stuck between a butcher shop and an electronics store. A noticeable sign above indicated the name of the store. Written in bold letters was “Nook’s Nicknacks.” Kim didn’t know what this store sold, but he assumed it would have something for Harry. Harry was the first to walk inside, with Kim following right behind him. The store was quaint, with multiple shelves and counters filled with a variety of objects. A short [url=https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fpreview.redd.it%2Fabout-tom-nook-v0-3qc8qn77adma1.jpg%3Fwidth%3D637%26format%3Dpjpg%26auto%3Dwebp%26s%3D79fc0df7f24c7ee91992c3e1dd595a19ddd91af0] figure[/url] was sitting on a tall stool wearing a colourful sweater and brown shorts. He put down a paperback book on the table in front of him. Waving at the two detectives. “Let me know if you need any help.” The tanuki said before going back to reading his book. Harry was looking around for some sort of bag or knapsack, so he didn’t have to lug around his junk. Kim didn’t need anything at the moment, so he was just perusing the items on the shelves. Harry scooted past other customers who were shopping. He moved around a small [url=https://ih1.redbubble.net/image.5151232219.5965/st,small,507x507-pad,600x600,f8f8f8.jpg]boy[/url] holding a leash that was connected to a tuxedo cat. The boy was looking at a collection of various books. “[color=662d91]Excuse me.[/color]” Harry said, prompting the boy to move closer to the shelf to let the detective pass. Picking up a [url=https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/elderscrolls/images/b/b8/Creation_Club_Adventurer%27s_Backpack.png/revision/latest?cb=20180406220017]backpack[/url] that hung from a hanger with similar bags. Once in a while, Tom Nook would slightly lower the book to make sure Harry was not stealing anything. Harry looked quite suspicious and understandably appeared to be a potential thief. The detective walked over to the counter with the backpack. “[color=662d91]How much for the backpack?[/color]” He asked, making the tanuki place the book on the counter. “For the adventurer backpack, it’ll be eighty bucks mhm.” He said as Harry had a look of shock on his face. The detective pushed his hands into one of his pockets, looking for his wallet, but remembered that he didn't have one. Frantically, he searched every pocket of his clothes, hoping to find some money. He was reminded of the things he had taken from the mansion, which were inside his plastic bag. He rifled through the contents of the plastic bag. Pulling out various knick-knacks that would fetch a reasonable price on the black market. Kim looked surprised, wondering where Harry found such things. “[color=662d91]Could I trade ya one of these things for the pack?[/color]” As Harry finished his question, Tom took one of the items into his small paw. Studying the items for their value. One item in particular was a ring encrusted with a valuable jewel. This ring would be enough for Harry to buy the backpack. “I could trade the ring for the backpack. Sounds like a good deal yes.” Nook grinned, thinking he could get quite a lot of money from the ring. A lot more than eighty dollars. Harry nodded, putting the rest of the items back into his plastic bag. He hoped Amy still had the items from the mansion that he could pawn off. With their transaction complete, Harry put his valuables into the backpack before putting it on. He kept the trash and empty bottles in the plastic bag to be thrown out. A few moments later, the two detectives were at another store that specialized in pawning items for money. Harry was reminded of Bird’s Nest Roy back in Martinaise. With a good amount of cash in his pocket, he was able to get a wallet from the pawn shop to store it. The two men were walking down the street trying to find the other seekers. During the walk, Harry threw away his trash since he didn’t think he’d need it. Keeping the plastic bag as a memento. But the thought of consuming alcohol did seem to be lingering in his mind.
