Gizel's wife
I don't think he knows the meaning of the word "waste." He buys weapons without a second thought. He could buy much better weapons earlier if he saved his money, right? He'll listen to you since you're also a Hunters. Convince him.
My husband? He may be at the shop, browsing for weapons again.
Young man
Oh...(sigh)... That weapon was great... really great...
Gizel
What? Who are you? An errand from my wife? I'm buying weapons too often? Shut up. Expensive weapons are strong. With strong weapons, I can kill expensive monsters, and I can be rich. So, it's smart of me to buy better weapons. Understand?

Yes, you're right.

Gizel
Good, good. This issue is just between my wife and me. Well, you can go now.

Gizel's wife
I can't believe it. He snubbed you? My goodness... What he's saying isn't wrong, but he's not economical. Take a firm stand! OK?
Gizel
What, what? Did ya forget to say something? You can't convince me. I'm not wrong. With strong weapons, I can kill expensive monsters, and I can be rich. So, it's smart of me to buy better weapons. Understand?

No, I don't understand.

Gizel
Why don't ya understand?

Because I'm a fool.

Gizel
Oh, that's too bad. You'd better go to school every day.
Bye now.

It's not always true.

Gizel
You're saying that the expensive weapons aren't always strong, right? But listen. Even if its attack power isn't very high, it may be good. For example, it may have a good hitting ratio. The most important thing to get is a good point for the price you pay. You can't convince me. That's it?
Bye now.

Because you're a fool.

Gizel
What? Am I wasting money by buying all the time? Am I changing weapons too quickly, ignoring cost vs. performance? I... I can't rebut it. You're right... But... I... I can't stop buying weapons. Forgive me.
Please, forgive me...
Gizel's wife (if you answered "Because I'm a fool.")
You were fooled by him, weren't you? I can't believe it. I said he's not economical 'cause he buys without thinking. Take a firm stand! OK?

Gizel's wife (if you answered "It's not always true.")
Expensive weapons aren't always strong? I'm not talking about that. Buying weapons is fine, but he needs to be smart when he buys things. Take a firm stand! OK?

Gizel's wife (if you answered "Because you're a fool.")
Did he finally understand? Now I know. He has a weapon-fetish. But we can't afford to waste money to keep him happy all the time. Tell him, NO MORE SHOPPING.

Gizel
Weapon-fetish?! [boum sound] Y...yes, I am! Look at this luster! Beautiful... I love it. New weapons are so beautiful and shiny. I love buying them. What?? NO MORE SHOPPING? It's too cruel...
It was my only...
Gizel's wife
Thank you. Was he really that disappointed? I'll allow him to buy weapons later. Good job. Please go and receive your money at the Guild.
