From MC's Perspective:
I continued to observe the broken shield, but I'm not impressed with it. If it were a type of attack magic artifact, I would be interested in buying it.
"Do you want that?" Melissa asked.
"No, thanks," I replied.
Then I thought about checking out other places in the city. I looked at both of them.
"Since the item I'm looking for is not here, I'm planning to check out a few stores," I said to them.
Melissa was not surprised, but Susan Park was disappointed. She had decided to help, yet there were no items that were useful to Vincent Carey here.
I looked at both of their reactions. Then I thought it would be better to travel alone.
"Susan, if you want, you can stay here. I want to visit the shop alone," I said to her.
Hearing that, she was taken aback but nodded her head in the end. She understood that Vincent needed privacy.
