(Gaito returned to Hakodate after some time and looked around at the civilization still in tact. He then looked around for a certain shop but paused for a moment and looked at a blacksmith shop across from where he stands.)
"Gaito: Hmm.."
(He goes inside the store and freezes, seeing countless weapons, artifacts as far as the eye could see which surprised him. A familiar individual then greets Gaito into the store.)
"Klaus: Welcome to the "Famed Steel!" Our weapons are exquisite like any other! My name is Klaus, can I help you with anything good sir?"
"Gaito: I might just take a look around. I do have an interest in anything sword-like."
"Klaus: Then help yourself! If you need anything, I'll be at the register!"
"Gaito: Thank you."
(Gaito started looking around, mainly at the swords until a door opened which was a dust-covered female walking out from the basement with a newly finished sword.)
"Klaus, Toni! Did you stay down there making swords all night again?"
"Toni: Its a habit! Besides, its how we was able to keep this shop running-"
(She froze for a moment and was shocked at Gaito whom was examining one of the swords he picked out. Toni covered her mouth to try and not scream but Klaus was then confused.)
"Klaus: Uh.. Toni..?"
(She started whispering into his ear.)
"Toni(Whispering): DO YOU KNOW WHO THAT IS..? THAT'S THE GAITO TAMAREI..!"
"Klaus(Whispering): WAIT. YOU MEAN HIM?! THE LEGENDARY SWORD COLLECTOR..?"
"Toni(Whispering): YES!! GAITO TAMAREI IS IN.. OUR SHOP!!"
(They both calmed down and Toni hung up the new sword, she could not remove the happiness from her face knowing Gaito is in their weapon shop. Gaito then walked to the counter with two cutlasses and a very thin sword with a dragon end handle.)
"Gaito: Question. Do you have any tungsten steel?"
"Klaus: Uh.. y-yes we do!"
(Klaus then gripped a box of tungsten steel and leaves it on the counter after carrying it with effort. Gaito was looking at the swords behind Klaus.)

"Gaito: Another question. Where did you find those swords?"
(Klaus took a look at the four swords displayed and answered quickly.)
"Klaus: These swords are mostly forgotten during wars, Although, these sword have beasts inside their jewel. As long as the jewel doesn't shatter, the beast will remain active and alive."
"Gaito: I see. Then I want you to try and guess this."
(He'd reach into his pelt and pulled out Doku, the Sword of Venom which surprise Klaus for a brief moment as he quickly examined the sword's design, linings and sharpness.)
"Klaus: There is no denying it..! This is The Venom Sword, Doku!"
"Gaito: Seems you know then. Then answer me this, how much is every weapon in this store?"
(Klaus stood there with a blank face then his eyes blinked twice as he tried to process what Gaito currently asked. Gaito then started walking out of the shop with every weapon for sale but stopped for a moment and turned to look at Klaus and Toni.)
"Mind if I ask your names?"
"Klaus: I-I'm Klaus and this is Toni, my sister..!"
"Gaito: How would the two of you like to work for me? I could use some more helpers."
(They both was in shock at the question which Toni passed out from excitement and Klaus was stammering badly with joy.)
"Klaus: WE-W-W-WE WOULD L-L-LO-LOVE TO M-MI-MIS- MISTER GAITO SIR!!!"
"Gaito: When I return from my business in a few days, I'll come back for you guys."
(He then left with the tungsten steel and the weapons then crossed off the steel off the list and looked at the final item.)
"Now just some shale and we're all good to go. Question is.. Where can I even find shale?"
(He thought about it for a moment but snapped his fingers and took two steps which warped him instantly to the nearest body of water. Gaito then dropped his things and started to walk to the water but he ended up walking on the water instead which made him pause for a moment, go back to the shore and walk on the water again. Doing it over and over again.)
"When could I do this?"
(Gaito then randomly walked around atop the water then relaxed his feet, sinking into the water after going far out enough. He then normally walked in water without struggling for air and sensed the energy coming from the shale rocks. Gaito walked on the ocean floor and picks up three shales from the rocks then squats down and jumps directly to the surface, he'd jump out of the water and placed the shale rocks down then stretched, his back cracking as well.)
