Seeing Theo's smile, they can't help but blush a little. Even more so that it was difficult to be in contact with the opposite sex, usually she was surrounded by women.
Theo stood and moved his hand toward her, wanting to shake hands to seal the deal.
But that was a strange gesture to them. For it was not their custom to do something like this.
Theo soon remembered that this was one of the customs of his past life. He was a little embarrassed, but since he was at it, he didn't give up: "Huh. Where I came from, a handshake is a socially relevant gesture that expresses a positive feeling of friendship, affinity or trust between the two of us." He explained.
"Ohh, I've never heard that before," said Kauana.
"Yeah, I've never seen or heard of such a custom either, but well, it doesn't look like you're lying." Naiana said and approached her hand, a little embarrassed, as it was the first time shaking a non-man's hand. from your family. ????????????re???????? ????????????

Nervously, she replied, "The pleasure was all mine…"
"Um… I also have some Magic Cores with me. Do you have more level 3 weapons to trade?" Kauana asked, catching their attention.
Naiana retracts her quickly embarrassed hand and sits back on the couch where she was before. Looking like a frightened kitten as he stared at the floor ashamed to look in their direction. And also not wanting them to notice his current expression. She began to think that it would be better to wear the veil again.
Kauana who looked at her friend. He thought she was showing too many different expressions today. She herself was surprised by this, for in general, Naiana always ignored the men who had tried to approach her before. But she can still understand, because Theo, besides being handsome and charming, did not look at them like a piece of crazy flesh to devour them…
Kauana also took a bag from a Storage Ring. It was a bit like Naiana's ring, except the black stone on top of it was a little smaller. Theo figured it was a storage size difference.
"Here in this bag, there are 10 Nucleus of the Wizard Kingdom, 120 Nuclei of the Apprentice Wizard Kingdom, 900 Nucleus of the Higher Student Kingdom and 11,000 Nucleus of the Student Kingdom." Kauana explained and added: "If possible, I would like to exchange all these Nuclei. Magicians, for 12 Level 3 Weapons."
Theo nodded in agreement with her offer and right after that, he pulled out 20 more random weapons, so she could choose 12: "Okay, I agree with your terms, you can choose from those weapons."
"Right." She nodded and started to look. For being all in good quality. She didn't have much difficulty choosing. But preferably, she chose all swords, as it was the most sought and used.
After choosing 7 swords, 3 daggers, 1 spear and a hammer. She nodded in satisfaction and said, "I liked those weapons, all right?"
"Yes, I agree." Theo said with a smile. He was happy to be able to do business with them.
Kauana grinned at him back, rising and put her hand toward him. "In that situation, it takes a handshake, right?"
"Yes." Theo nodded, standing up and squeezing her soft, delicate hand.
Kauana was shocked the moment she shook Theo's hand. But soon her facial expression returned to normal and she smiled at him. Theo who saw this change on his face, despite being surprised by it, he didn't think about it too much.

After they sat back down. Theo took the cup of sake, after drinking a little, he said: "I will stay in this city for a maximum of 2 months. In that time, whenever you have Magic Cores and want to sell or trade with me, you can contact me there."
"Right." They nodded.
"Yes, I have my email address too, if you even after I leave this city, you still want to contact me, to buy new weapons." Theo said and adding, "By the way, I'll be able to make weapons soon." Level 4, right now, you can be the first to negotiate with me." He smiled.
"Oh, this is amazing! You look so young, yet you're almost forging a level 4 weapon." Naiana said in surprise.
"Although there are some who can forge level 4 weapons in the Naga Empire, they are in the majority, all of you ladies and gentlemen who are over 100 years old." Kauana said in surprise.
Theo was surprised by their reaction. But he said nothing and just smiled.
Much to their discomfort, as they were stunned by his smile and his relaxed temper on this subject. They were sure that if it was someone else his own age, it would be praised and around his age. This person would surely be very convinced and would want to appear because he is a genius.
They were increasingly certain that Theo was not a normal person. Despite not knowing his exact age, they thought he was no more than 17 to 18 years old. For even if I could not tell by his appearance how old a person was. They could still gauge their bones a little as they shook hands.
Although they don't hold hands tight for long. It was enough for them to be able to roughly assess his age by the age of his bones.
After passing the email to them. Theo said goodbye to them and returned to the orphanage with a smile on his face. After all, he has now found another way to get Magic Cores.
