Ch. 21 – Rare Equipment

Tatarga – Net Slum.

It was one of those days that Haseo felt like partying with people he usually didn't. Such as the Azure Knights, for example. Opening his menu, he selected Azure Kite and sent an invitation. Almost immediately, the NPC appeared. Noticing that Azure Kite seemed to have a new (rare) weapon, Haseo wasted no time and asked about it.

"Hey, Kite. Did you make your equipment yourself?"

No answer. Not that that wasn't surprising; Kite never spoke. After a moment, Haseo sent an invite to Azure Balmung, who, like Azure Kite, appeared right away. He looked at Balmung's equipment; also rare item.

"Hey, do you guys think you could make me one of those weapons? You know, since we're such good friends…"

"I didn't know you liked to cheat, Haseo." Haseo jumped when heard a voice came from behind him. It was Zelkova, smiling innocently.

"Why you are here, Zelkova?" Haseo asked quickly. Zelkova placed his finger on his own chin and smiled.

"Just taking a walk. Hey, instead of asking them to make you a weapon, why not me? Unlike them, I respond back when you talk to me," Haseo looked at those two Azure Knights. Right, he was silly one.

"No, thanks… I just wonder if I can make them talk..." Haseo mused out loud. It seemed as though Haseo's quest wasn't finished.
