"Let me see that dagger."
As that voice rang through the entire equipment shop, a set of footsteps entered the store as well.
Noah paused slightly, turning toward the entrance, only to be stunned again.
The three people who entered the shop had surprised Noah considerably.
Mainly because of their appearances.
The first person to enter Noah's sight was a hulking figure.
She was incredibly brawny, with a pair of thick arms. Her neck was probably as wide as an average girl's thighs put together, and her eyes held the viciousness of a wild beast. Her blond hair was cut short, and everything about her prioritized practicality.
Of course, hulking people were not uncommon. Noah had seen quite a few before.
But the chest that looked like it was covered in bulging muscles forged through relentless training told Noah that this hulking figure was a woman.
It was Noah's first time seeing a woman built so powerfully.
Beside the hulking woman stood a petite girl, seemingly there to create a stark contrast. She was short and slender, looking no older than eleven or twelve.
The girl was completely wrapped in a black robe. She also wore a strange mask with a vermilion gemstone embedded in its forehead, concealing her entire face. Only a narrow slit around her eyes remained exposed; nothing else could be seen.
Noah had only realized she was a girl because the wind pressed the robe tightly against her body, allowing him to discern her slender and graceful figure.
As for the third person, she was the one who had spoken.
She was also a girl.
