Some time later.

Vivian finished her tutoring lessons with Marie about 2 hours ago and was currently making her through a crowded place in the Market District.

She was wearing the same attire as this morning -- brown cloak, a gold necklace with a vertically stretched sun pendant, and her usual adventuring gear underneath.

Vivian knitted her brows.

What's going on here...?

Is it just me or are more people looking at me...?

She shook her head mentally and focused on going where she had to go.

A few minutes later, she finally arrived in front of a small tent.

It was the shoe repair shop.

She originally planned to get her shoes yesterday around noon time as promised. But after visiting the Temple of Thieves and completing the Bukaroo Tail Quest in the morning, she then got caught up with the contract signing with Pana, meeting with Stonia, Class changing at the Temple of Priests, and then going to the compound where the Temple of Priests members live. By the time she was done, it was already night time and she was also tired and hungry.

She entered the tent and saw the owner, a man in his late 30s, repairing a shoe as usual.

"Hi, I'm here to get the pair of shoes I left here for repairs the other day ago."

The man raised his head and looked at her.

When he saw the cloak and necklace that Vivian was wearing, a surprised expression flashed across his face and he immediately tried to recall what he did to merit a visitation from the Temple of Priests.

But when he looked at her face, he finally remembered who she was.

Nevertheless, he was still surprised that Vivian was actually a Priest and he immediately got up.

"Greetings, Priestess, I have your shoes here," he said and bowed before grabbing the pair of shoes from a corner and handing them over to her like they were some prized heirloom.

"Thank you..." said Vivian.

"It was an honor to be of service!" the man said and bowed once again.

Vivian's eyes blinked a couple of times.

Well...

This is awkward...

I'm not sure how to react...

She shook her head mentally.

I don't have time for this...

I still have so many things to do...

"This is really good. Thank you," Vivian said as she inspected the pair of shoes on her hand.

The man raised his head and bowed once more.

"Thank you for your kind words, Honored Priestess!"

"Um...Can I ask you a question?"

The man raised his head.

"Anything, Priestess!"

Why is he always shouting...?

Vivian cleared her throat.

"Do you have any used items for sale? Like armor, weapons and whatnot."

A confused expression appeared on the man's face.

"I'm not sure if you remember me, but you sold me this pair of boots that I'm wearing for only 1 silver. And when I asked you if you were selling punching gloves, you gave me directions and I went there and was able to find so many shops there, even street vendors. However, the lowest prices there were at least 10 silver coins. So I was wondering if you have any old or used armor or weapons that you're willing to sell, or maybe you know some shops that could sell me things around the same price."
