2-1: Antiques Mute

It looks like an antique shop. Maybe they'll have something rare or interesting.

Heeelp! Skeletooon!

There's a monster here!?

...Huh? Hassan of the Cursed Arm?

Who, me? No, no. I'm just an average shopkeeper sweeping my storeroom.

Though as a matter of fact, I was just dealing with a model skeleton that suddenly went berserk for no discernible reason.

I was just chasing it outside, so it wouldn't damage the merchandise.

Now the model skeleton is headed our way! Awaiting your orders, Senpai!

There! The battle is over!

Well done. I must say, I'm impressed. You must have a lot of experience with this sort of thing.

Hey, this concerned you too, you know! Why didn't you do anything to help!?

I couldn't, Master. I had to stay here in order to perform my duties: protecting the merchandise, even at the cost of my own life.

And as you can see, it worked. They have not so much as a single scratch on them.

Thank you so much, all of you. Please, take this as a token of my gratitude.

Hey! Who said you could give out my merch for nothing!?
