"Shouldn't you get some weapon before doing the quest?"

"It would be nice to have a sword, but I can fight without weapons."

"No, you're getting a weapon."

"You know I don't have any money and I don't want you buying me any more stuff."

"It's fine. I'm getting you a weapon."

Seeing how she was not going to back down, I gave in to her words.

"Alright, then I'll take that offer."

I regretted not taking weapons from the dudes who attacked me. Eri brought me to a weapon shop right next to the Guildhall. There were stores lined up next to each other. They were all stores with an open front.

"Welcome! Please take a look!"

A lady greeted me with a smile. 

I thought a big muscular dude was gonna be running the shop.

I looked around to see if there was a katana. Many fancy looking weapons were decorating the store, but I wasn't able to find a katana anywhere. 

"Is there a sword called katana in the store?"

"Uh, I've heard of it before... but I don't know if we have one."

"Katana, single-edged blade, about 60 centimeters long with some curve."

"I don't know, there's a lot of swords with that matching description."

"Nevermind, forget it. Do you have anything similar to that?"

"Let me go check."

She brought a couple of them and laid them out on the table.

"What about these?"

There were many types of swords with similar lengths.

"Can I try holding them?"

"Sure."

I first picked up a Sabre. It looked most similar to a katana but the handle was too small and I didn't like it. I tried a European long sword next. It had long enough handle for me to comfortably use, and I liked it. 

"I'll take this."

I place the sword on the desk.

"Try the other ones too, you might like them better."

"I think this is for me."

"Alright. This one is..."

She took a close look at the sword.

"Two gold coins."

I grabbed Eri's attention.

"You picked?"

"Yeah, Imma get a long sword. The storekeeper said it was two gold."

I didn't want to know how much money it was worth, so I didn't ask. She handed me two gold coins out of her wallet. I returned to the front desk and handed over the money. She put the two gold inside of a pouch.

"With that, She's all yours!"

She handed me the sword with a sheath.

"Alright! Thank you, have a good day!" 

"Come back again!"

We left the store. Eri handed me a leather pouch.

"Here, you're going to need this too."

"Oh, thank you."

Damn, where and how did she buy it so quickly?

I quickly looked around and found an equipment store right next to the weapon shop.
