《Never Bring Sword Into a Gun Fight》Leaving Tree's Nest

We really did involve in something big
[Mr dean?]
[Ah, sorry Billy. I just mumbling myself.] me
...
[Billy!]
[Are you sure you want to follow me?] Me
[What do you mean Mr Dean?] Billy
[You know that my action almost killing you back there, and now, I think we're just involved in something big.]
[I don't know if I can keep us from an even bigger problem later, so, do you really want to go with me? You can always be a mercenary without me or join another party if you want.] Me
[Don't worry, Mr Dean. I know the risk the moment I decide to come with you. Also, I'm already involved anyway, so I don't think I'll be safer with anyone else either. Going solo now is even worse.] Billy
[Then I can't promise you'll not regret your decision. Just remember that you can always take the offer later on.] Me
...
[Here. Use this instead of your bow.] Me
I hand him a modern laminated recurve bow from my miracle shop.
[Wha... is this also a magic tool? I can't receive something this exquisite, Mr Dean. I... I also kinda scared to use something like this.] Billy
[Haha... Don't worry. It's just an ordinary bow. But I do use a special method to develop it. It should fly faster than your ordinary bow.] Me
I just introduced a laminated recurve bow in this world. It will work a hell lot better than the ordinary short bow in this world.
What I give to Billy is 2 step upgrade for his short bow.
First is a recurve shaped that will give it a longer draw hence a longer more efficient acceleration time for the arrow.
The second is a laminated constr that makes the bow lighter, stronger, and more long-lasting.
[Hmm...] Billy

[What is it Billy?] Me
[It's just... I... never heard of a magician that can do something just like what you just did. Back then you tell me you can summon something out of a thin air because it's a magic tool. But now, you summon this and you tell me this is not even a magic tool... Ah! Sorry, Mr Dean. I don't mean to pry you!] Billy
Mistakes! I should have been giving it to him after pretending I made a bow in the forest.
Now, what is the use of that weapon crates that God gave me??
[I... I'll explain about that when the time's right. Let's just sleep! We'll go to Romora tomorrow.] Me
Oh well. I can already tell I need to explain my ability to Billy sooner or later.
Hmm... Having a gunner sidekick is also nice... I'll teach Billy how to use a gun later.
It'll be cool if I have a sniper watching my back, isn't it?
[Umm... Mr dean? Are you sure this is not a magic tool? What if my head suddenly explodes when I use it? I won't dare to use something like this, Mr Dean.]
[It's ordinary tools Billy. Sleep.]
I need to prepare a narration for when I explain about guns to Billy.
[The lacquer is soo smooth and shiny... It's just like a knight would use. Mr Dean? Can I really have it? You won't take it back later do you?]
[Sleep!]
-------------------------------------------------------
*thunk*
*thunk*
[Yaawnn...]
*thunk*
[Hmm??]
Billy is not here. Do I wake up late?
I do spend a couple of hours thinking about my narration for Billy when the time comes.
But I don't think I'll wake up that late, do I?
*thunk*
What's that sound anyway?
It's Billy! He shooting a log with his new bow.
[Oyyy!! Who's log are you shooting over there? Don't get us into trouble!!] Me

[Ah Mr Dean! Do I wake you up? I'm sorry, I just can't resist trying the bow gave me. Don't worry though! I already asked the tavern master to shoot one of his firelogs!] Billy
Ah well. As long as it didn't bring any trouble.
Let's wash myself and go downstairs to get something to eat.
Thinking about it, it's been a week I go to this world, and not once I take a proper bath.
Wait! I also didn't bother anymore about the smell of my room! Do I used to it because of my body smell?!
[Morning Mr Dean! Breakfast?] Barman
[Morning master! Yes please and prepare some dried food for two days trip, thank you.] Me
*thud*
[Here you go. Don't worry about your friend portion. He wakes up early in the morning, asks something to eat, and asking me for a firelog to practice. Hahaha... What a lively young man!] Barman
[Ahaha... Sorry if it brings you trouble.] Me
[Nah... Don't worry. It's not like I won't be able to burn that firelog after getting shot at.] Barman
[So, you're going somewhere after this I presume?] Barman
[Yeah, we'll go to Romora today.] Me
[Ahh... The life of a mercenary. I heard that the job is better there am I right? It's actually strange when I meet Billy the other day asking for a mercenary request in this village. There are not many mercenaries who wonder in a village like this asking for a request. But on the other hand, I am also glad some is doing that.] Barman
[Glad?] Me
[Yup, as you may know, the request in a city comes from either the kingdom or a somewhat rich village who can post their request there. Meanwhile, a village like us can only rely on luck to meet a mercenary who wants to take our request. We might not have a request for you now, but who knows when we'll meet another mercenary when we do have a request? Not to mention a village like us can only prepare pocket changes for the rewards.] Barman
[Hahahaha! But a village like this won't have that many problems to begin with! Don't you remember your last request is just to kill a boar who wreak havoc on your cabbage farm? And the one who gets the reward is not even a mercenary but just a passing hunter. Hahaha...]
[Ahhh, just shut up old man! Here for a drink?] Barman
[Hahaha... You know me!]
*sit*
[So, you're going to Romora I heard? Silver claw?] Old bard
[Where do you even come from? And why ask if you're already eavesdropping on me?] Me
[Ahahahaha... You need to know that a lot of people out there are wary of us. Of course, we need to know how to get our information without revealing ourselves. So, Silver Claw?] Old bard
[Yeah? Maybe? I don't know. I don't even know if I want to involve myself with them. It just seems it's too big of a hustle.] Me
[Hm? Is that so? Just so you know, that Krill is an old friend of mine. Hahaha... Sometimes I envy that immortality of his. But sometimes, I think being able to grow old is not too bad either...] Old bard
[And... Your point is?] Me
[Point? Hahaha... Nothing... Just do as you see fit...]
*gulp*
*drop*
[Name's Borad. That name can be beneficial for you if you happen to meet someone who knows me. Ah, a lot of them are old or probably dead already, hahaha...] Borad
*stand*
[But maybe, you can find someone who's still young and fit just like that Krill... Hahaha... Let's see if we can meet again... Dean...] Borad
[Yo! Old man! Pay up!] Barman
[I'll come back later! You speak like you aren't the only tavern here.] Borad
Ahhh...
Can I just eat in peace?
