"Heh, thanks a lot. These weapons are all my proud works.", as he took his weapon to show off for Mina & Mina was amazed.

"What's so great about these anyway? It's just a pieces of iron.", Aaron scoffed. "Hey! Don't you dare disrespect his work,ok?", Mina defend the blacksmith's works. "Eh...It's ok, Mina. He used to these weapons anyway.", the blacksmith assure Mina that it's ok.

"Anyway, since both of you are here, I got a hundreds of them. So what do you need?", as he begins his business as an professional seller. "Uh...,do you have any....a bow? Since I want to be in distance so I can be their support.", Mina suggesting a bow at the blacksmith. Aaron giggled as he mocking Mina, "You really need a bow, when you literally acts like a ogre that day?"

Mina side eyed at Aaron for insulting her, while the blacksmith literally shook his head in disapproval while took a bow for Mina. "Here's the bow, it's an hunter's bow. And it's more effective in the combat than firewood bow." , as Mina was amazed by the design of the bow & thanking the blacksmith for giving this bow for her. "Now, Aaron. What do you need?", as Aaron hesitated, he finally admitted about his weapon choice, "Just give me the broad sword." Mina chuckles, "Oh~, you need a sword? What? You're like an buffalo or something ~?", as Mina mocking Aaron & Aaron gives her a side eyes stare, while the blacksmith pinch his nose out of headache because of this two. Meanwhile, "Here's your sword, silver buffalo sword, and it's stronger than basic sword, though not stronger than stronger sword. Take care of this sword,ok?", Aaron release his breathe from his nose & took the sword & left the shop without thanking him. Mina was flabbergasted by his attitude & was about to scold him, if not was stopped by the blacksmith, who already knew his stubborn attitude.

"What's his deal though? Can't believe he just left the shop like that.", Mina questioning Aaron's rude attitude. The blacksmith sighed & finally, he signals Mina to get clser with him to tell a tale about Aaron, "Look, Aaron had reason for his attitude. You see, his parents, named Scarlet & Kendrick, is once a good-hearted people that treated us right, even if they are strangers to our home. They used to protect us from this small city & they love their son Aaron. But then, of all suddenness, they left Aaron in our home without a word. And he was devastated by their gone & becomes a rogue thief in this city. But we all know, that's not his goal. We all know that he wants to find his parents & bring them home."

Mina, with this origin from Aaron by the blacksmith's lip, was shocked. Mina had a second thought about Aaron & even wonders if he is truly hate his parents & finally decides to ask the blacksmith, "Does....he hates them?"

"No, he doesn't. He just... missing them a lot." The blacksmith reassuring Mina that he had no resentment towards his parents. "So, that's why me & the whole folks, we all pay their debt & protect the town with him.", as he reveal the reason of their no hatred for Aaron.
