I found an interesting shop today—a street stand that sells snacks like gum and rice crackers, on top of a bunch of other stuff that is completely unfamiliar to me! And it’s all cheap! As a novice adventurer, buying snacks is pretty harsh on my wallet, but even I can easily afford this stuff. There are so many products with cute designs on the packaging that it makes me really excited. The wrappers are things like strange shiny paper or thin metal, which makes me curious how they’re made. It’s a total mystery!
All of the snacks have various magical effects, but they’re just kind of okay. None of them are as effective as a good MP potion or anything. But then again, they’re at two totally different price points. Dagashi are cheap and tasty, so I’ll visit the shop again tomorrow.
I took Mira along with me, and she seemed to like it. She even said that she wanted to go again. She almost never says things like that! Hold on, what if she has a thing for the shop owner guy?
I can’t really say that the shop owner is super good-looking or anything, but he seemed like a kind person. I like my men handsome and a little more wild, but he might be Mira’s type.
This is the first time I’ve ever had dagashi, but I’m pretty sold on it. It’s really nice how you can eat a little bit of it while you’re taking a break and restore some mana and HP.
Whenever I’m up against a monster with high defense stats, by the third powershot I’m usually misfiring. But thanks to the snacks, I could restore some of my HP and mana today to cleanly dish out three consecutive attacks.
Wait a second... If I eat more of that gum and those candies, I might even be able to do four attacks in a row! But then, would my belly get all fat...?
My slender body is one of my charm points, but when I consider the snacks and the effects they offer, frankly, I just want to eat more of them. Also, they’re cheap enough that if I splurge only a little bit outside my means, I can easily obtain them. That’s what makes them so enticing.
Oh, speaking of enticing! That damn lottery! What is up with that?! It should be illegal for dagashi to have such a fun system. It makes them way too dangerous! With things like lotteries and redeemable coupons, how am I supposed to resist buying them?!
Man, it was a bummer that luck wasn’t on my side today. I mean, I was putting so much money into it while Mira was standing next to me winning left and right. Before I knew it, I was all worked up and pushing myself to keep going until I won. I’ve gotta take better care to not let myself get carried away.
Things have been a little tight for me financially recently, but I’m happy that I have more things to look forward to after work. I’ll make more money at the dungeon, and then tomorrow I’ll show that chocolate who’s boss!
