Hero of Justice (Fate/Stay Night UBW x Shield Hero)

We back in the mines

*insert obligatory Minecraft joke*

When they reached the inside, Naofumi was the first to greet, saying "Good morning uncle!" to which the blacksmith happily waves back, before placing his elbows on the counter, saying "Now, what can I do ya for this time lad?"

Naofumi then places Raphtalia's broken dagger on the counter, making Erhard let out a deep exhale at the condition the weapon was at. Naofumi then says "Yeah... We kind of... bit off more than we could chew."

"I'll say, this dagger looks like it was made of crumpled paper. Say, where DID you four go two anyways? What could've been so difficult as to mess even your clothing this badly?"

"Well... we went to the plains... And then pushed on to a swampy place."

"Huh? Never heard of a place like that before. It might've been created when the waves appeared and a monster from said wave levelled that place."

Rin then cuts in, saying "The creatures were these red, snake-like creatures with white eyes and extremely fast speeds. Not to mention their extreme persistence. We were barely able to get out due to my quick thinking." while gesturing to herself proudly.

Shirou shakes his head while chuckling before Naofumi brought the attention back to him by coughing into his fist. "Anyways... uncle, we would like to know as well if you know any place that's harder than the plains, but easier than that snake swamp?"

Erhard adopts a thinking look while simultaneously grabbing a sword from the back storage, saying "Let's see... I feel like you three might be able to handle something deeper, but for now, my recommended next stop would be the village of Lute. Just in case the little lass isn't quite up to the task yet."

"Thanks, uncle."

Erhard then pulls out a dirk, and says "Hmm, howbout this? I feel like the lass is now ready for something along these lines." He then eyes their tattered clothing once more and says "Now, about your armor..."

"What about it?" Naofumi asked with evident confusion.

"Well... It seems like those are a bit worse for wear to say the absolute least. What do you say if you wear something more protective? Like chainmail?"

Naofumi's eyes widen before he screams cupping his head, saying "No! god no!"

Shirou, Rin and Raphtalia ran to him, all expressing concern over his outburst. Erhard widen his eyes as he quickly shelfs it, saying "Oh crap, I'm sorry. I forgot. Those were the clothes that red haired adventurer who shan't be named suggested."

Raphtalia then says "U-uncle, i-is their something else master could wear?"

Erhard then strokes his beard and says "Hm... Not really... But I can whip something made to order."

Shirou glances and says "Wait, we can have custom made armor?"

Erhard scratches his shoulder and then says "Well... Yeah. Although I'm lacking a few things right now till the next material shipment, I can."

Naofumi finally calms down, and says "Y-yeah, th-that'd be better. I-I'd appreciate that."

Erhard quickly follows up with "Heads up though, the next shipment is in two weeks time still. So you four would have to settle with what you got for now."

Naofumi then nods in acknowledgement and says "We'll manage."

Erhard continues on by saying "So, in the meantime, I would like to ask for any specifications as to what you might like your armors to look like."
