[R18] King's Domination-Chapter 48: Weapons and Armoury Purchase

I took Reina and Kayla to the blacksmith recommended by the princess.

"Coming on the princess’s introduction, I’m honored. I’m Kiririn," said the blacksmith.

Out came a very short girl with an enormous amount of hair tied roughly into two bundles. According to the princess, she was part dwarf, so despite her appearance, she was an adult.

Somehow, she seemed like she’d fit right in searching for rare gadgets in Akihabara’s electronics district.

"That’s a strong southern accent, Master," Reina said.

That’s how it sounded to Reina. Thanks to the translation perk from being summoned to this world, I could understand the local language, but to me, Kiririn’s speech sounded like fake Kagoshima dialect.

"I want to get weapons for these two," I said.

"What lovely ladies, I’m excited to help you guys," Kiririn replied.

She hopped up and down with joy. Something about her restless energy felt very otaku-like.

(She’s like the tech-obsessed types you’d find in a research lab back in my world.)

People like this often have genius-level talent in specific fields. The princess called her the kingdom’s biggest eccentric, but I felt like we might get along.

"Um, I’d like a slim sword," Reina said.

"How about this rapier? It’s remade from an elven hunting spear into a sword. Very light and sturdy," Kiririn offered.

"Oh, this is nice," Reina said, picking it up happily and striking a pose.

Her form looked practiced, as if she’d trained under a master.

"Reina, you handle swords?" I asked.

"Yeah, not as well as Kayla, though," she replied.

"From your stance, I can tell you’re quite skilled," Kayla said.

Kayla, coming from an assassin clan, could recognize Reina’s ability. Reina acknowledged Kayla’s skill too. It’s like how martial arts experts can sense each other’s level just by meeting. I, of course, had no clue.

"There are so many rare weapons here. The quality is amazing. I’ve never seen a shop like this," Kayla said, her eyes sparkling as she looked at the shelves.

"We take custom orders too. Tell me anything you want," Kiririn said.

"Okay, oh, this chestplate is cute!" Reina exclaimed.

"That’s an improved version of elven hunting armor, gowasu," Kiririn explained.

Reina continued shopping with excitement.

Why do girls, no matter the world, look so happy when they shop? I’d rather just use Amajon for convenience.

"The chest size is too big, we’ll need to adjust the chestplate, heh-heh," Kiririn said with a sleazy laugh. Was she really a girl?

"This chestplate is cute and light, but it’s a bit heavy to wear all the time," Reina said.

"Then I’ll carry it. With my ’Secret Item Storage’ skill, I can hold it and you can equip it when needed," I suggested.

The ’Secret Item Storage’ skill let me store items in a subspace, so weight and size didn’t matter.

"As expected of Master, that’s amazing!" Reina said.

Well, the skill originally came from sneaking tools into a brothel, so I couldn’t exactly feel proud of it😅

"Wait, can you carry my gear too? Is heavy stuff also okay?" Kayla asked.

"Yeah, I can carry your stuff too. Weight’s not an issue," I replied.

"Don’t have to worry about weight? Master, that’s incredible!" Kayla said.

"Were you that concerned about weight?" I asked.

"An assassin’s biggest enemy is the weight of their own weapons," she explained.

That made sense. Ninjas in my world used various weapons, but their weight limited what they could carry, especially for a petite kunoichi like Kayla.

"What’s the budget?" Kiririn asked.

"No limit," I said.

The shop’s prices weren’t a big deal, and these were life-or-death tools. No point in being stingy.

"Master, that’s amazing!" Kayla said again, her eyes shining.

Seeing a beautiful girl who looked about middle-school age smile so happily was heartwarming.

(I can’t sleep with her, but oh well. I’ve got Reina.)

I felt good about freeing her.

(Might as well check her status while I’m at it.)

I peeked at Kayla’s status.

Her image showed a catgirl in assassin-like clothes. Her class was listed as Catkin Assassin (Mid-tier).

Her sexual preferences were marked as ’Firmly Refused’ and hidden. Her age was blurred out, just like Reina’s. The only visible detail was ’Virgin.’ Again, really?

(There’s a ’Can Class Change to Special Job’ note. The option is ’Kunoichi.’)

Kunoichi were popular in ero-manga, games, even AV. This was probably thanks to my ’Sex King’ skill.

"Kayla, I’d like to change your class to ’Kunoichi.’ Is that okay?" I asked.

As my bodyguard, a kunoichi seemed better suited than an assassin specialized in killing. Plus, as a Seiou special job, it was likely stronger.

"Master, what’s a ’kunoichi’?" Kayla asked.

"Master, what’s a ’class change’?" Reina added, both looking confused.

Right, this world didn’t have ninjas, and I was the only one who could see statuses.

"A kunoichi is a female assassin from my world. They handle assassinations, but their main job is gathering information and doing covert operations," I explained.

"I see, so your world has people like that too," Kayla said.

Strictly speaking, they’re mostly limited to fantasy worlds now, so they’re not active anymore (probably). Still, their flashy fighting style has a strong following among men, making kunoichi a popular genre in the ero industry, right after schoolgirls and maids.

"Please, I’d like that," Kayla said eagerly.

"And Reina, a class is something like ’hero,’ ’sage,’ or ’holy king’, a special job," I added.

Probably ’sex king’ counts too....

"I can see those classes," I said.

In this world, only supreme entities or special people could peek at statuses.

"Wow, so what’s my class?" Reina asked.

I hadn’t checked her combat status before, only the sex-focused training status. I opened Reina’s status screen to check her class.

"Your class is ’shop poster girl.’ Probably from the sewing workshop," I said.

"Oh, that’s kind of embarrassing," Reina said with a smile.

By the way, her sex status had a separate title: ’lover maid.’

"There’s a note that you can evolve to a special job, ’sparkle girl,’" I said.

"What’s a ’sparkle girl’?" Reina asked.

"I’m not sure," I admitted.

I kind of got the idea, but it didn’t feel like a real job. Still, ’sparkle girl’ seemed to fit Reina better than ’gal.’

"You decide, Master," Reina said.

"Hmm," I said, looking at the sparkle girl stats while thinking.

"Compared to ’shop poster girl,’ ’sparkle girl’ has higher charm and luck growth rates," I explained.

"Wow, that’s awesome!" Reina said.

"Sparkle girl, huh? It does feel more like you. At least to me, you’re always sparkling," I said.

"Hehe, that makes me happy!" Reina said with a grin.

"Alright, I’ll change Reina to ’sparkle girl’ and Kayla to ’kunoichi,’" I announced.

"Okay," Reina said.

"Yes," Kayla agreed.

With their consent, I changed their classes on the status screen. Their class names updated.

"Is it done? I don’t feel much different," Reina said.

"My eyes and ears feel sharper," Kayla said. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

"Really? That’s cool! Am I sparkling more, Master?" Reina asked.

"To my eyes, you’re always sparkling, so I can’t tell the difference," I said.

That’s how it goes, I guess. For now, we continued Kayla’s shopping.

Ninjas usually use ninja swords as their main weapon. I looked for something similar.

"This looks good," I said, picking up a short sword. It resembled a ninja sword. When I unsheathed it, the single-edged blade was beautiful, almost identical to a Japanese sword.

"That’s a samurai weapon from the eastern Yashima country. It’s called a ’Wakizashi,’ a backup weapon, I hear," Kiririn said.

Samurai and wakizashi, huh? So this world has a country similar to Japan.

"In my country, ninjas painted their swords black to keep them discreet or tied strings to them for throwing or climbing," I said.

"That’s amazing. I’ll use this weapon then," Kayla said.

"Just drilling a hole in the sword’s guard for the string is easy. Wait a bit," Kiririn said, taking the wakizashi to start working.

"Master, for the string, I think bundled black silk would be good. It’s strong and stretchy," Reina suggested.

"Let’s do that. Kayla, anything else you want?" I asked.

"Yes, could you tell me about weapons ninjas or kunoichi used in your world?" Kayla asked.

"Well, things they might have here are ’shuriken’ or ’makibishi.’ Shuriken are throwing knives. Makibishi are spiked caltrops you scatter on the ground," I explained.

"Then these should work," Kiririn said, holding up a few short knives and a wooden board with upward-pointing nails. This world had similar weapons.

"Kayla, your bell gives away your position. Use that to your advantage, scatter makibishi while escaping to confuse enemies," I said.

"Yes, understood," Kayla replied.

"Since you have a bell, gather weapons and build tactics around it. Can you do that?" I asked.

"Yes. But I can’t carry a lot of weapons," Kayla said.

"I’ll carry them for you. Weight’s not an issue," I said.

"I feel bad making Master carry my things," Kayla said.

"It’s fine. That’s what my skill is for. What about armor?" I asked.

"For wearing, light chainmail is good. Most assassins use it," Kayla said.

Chainmail, like the kusari-katabira in Japan. Ninjas favored those too.

[A/N: I had to google these before writing, so if you don’t understand these elements about Japanese culture then you also have to do google yourself, I ain’t doing hard work just myself😤]

"I’ll modify a child-sized chainmail. I can do it quickly," Kiririn said.

"If Master’s magic can store it, I’d also like a sturdy shield. It might be needed to protect you," Kayla added.

"Okay, give me that knight’s shield," I said.

"Thanks for buying so much, I’m thrilled!" Kiririn said, showing perfect teeth and a dazzling smile. She was a young girl too, after all.

"For now, I’ve swapped the guard with one that has a hole," Kiririn said.

"Already done?" I asked.

"It was an easy task. The rest will be delivered to your mansion by tonight," she said.

That was fast. Impressive skills.

"Here, Kayla, take this," I said, handing her the short sword.

"You really trust a catkin like me?" Kayla asked.

She was still bothered by the catkins’ reputation as fickle betrayers.

"Yeah, I’m entrusting my back to you," I said.

If needed, I could check her loyalty with my status screen or ’Expert’s Eye.’ But I didn’t think it was necessary.

"...Yes. I dedicate this sword to you, Master. I’ll never forget this kindness. I’ll protect you with my life," Kayla said.

"Protect me, Reina, and yourself. I don’t want to lose anyone," I said.

"Yes," Kayla replied.

"Looking forward to working with you, Kayla-chan," Reina said.

"Yes, Reina-san," Kayla answered.

"Reina, take this. Don’t overdo it," I said, handing her the rapier.

"Thank you, Master!" Reina said, hugging me and kissing my cheek.

"Nya!?" Kayla exclaimed, her face turning red like a boiled octopus, freezing in place. Her little scream was cute. So she says "nya"?

(Still, don’t kunoichi use sexy techniques too? Well, she’s a virgin, so it can’t be helped.)

She’d have to get used to it. Living together as housemates, she’d see things. But blushing this much over a cheek kiss? If she knew about Reina’s cleaning blowjobs or swallowing, she might faint.

"...H-how long have you two been together?" Kayla asked.

"Um, we’ve been together for like 3 days, right?" Reina said.

"Yeah," I confirmed.

The night we met, Reina became my floor maid. So much had happened, it felt like ages ago.

"Nya!? I thought you were married for years!" Kayla said, shocked again.

"Hehe, that’s sweet!" Reina said.

"Some people click right away, while others never connect, even after years," I said.

"Yeah, we’ll also get along with Kayla-chan in no time!" Reina added.

"Yes, I’ll do my best," Kayla said.

Reina and Kayla looked like sisters getting along. With Kayla as my guard, we headed to the brothel. It was the opening day of the new brothel, and I had to be there.
