Benkei with full armor looks so coooooooooool and so OP

During their practice, Benkei finally win, although he wouldn't accept it. Mercedes wore magic crystals she filled with gravity magic, effectively weighing her down as handycap. Benkei also commented, sword is no longer sufficient for her. Weapon that focus on using brute strength like axe or warhammer would be more effective. Mercedes agreed, those would be advantaged with her gravity magic, and it would help cover her lack of reach. Meanwhile, Benkei could also have more protection since he is not good with ranged fight. Kuro is good enough already with his speed-focused style, but he wants to join, so Mercedes said she will buy claw sharpener.

In town, she saw a merchant selling canned chocolate. The product is famous, and while the general public is doubtful (they live in town, so they don't need to have the chocolate for long time storage), the merchant tells about how they better buy before the price went up. Mercedes told them, canned chocolate are mass produced, so the price are stable. Also it would be cheaper if they buy from the main store.
