"How do you know where to shoot them?"

"It's kind of obvious once you get there?"

"I guess I'll have to take your word for that -- I have tracking software in my eyes but I wouldn't be able to do much archery, I'm not strong enough for it."

"Oh, it's very dangerous to get close enough to shoot arrows at them. I've only managed with a local helping me, both times so far."

"I probably won't be able to make it inside then -- I hope it's not a Faraday cage, if it is I won't be able to even help from outside."

"We'll have to see. You're helping already, I've got a lot more monster loot than I usually would even if half of it's yours."

"I just can't wait to buy some scrap metal. Would be nice to make a better harness for the Guardian, paint it a bit, make a more comfortable seat, armor the place where I am a bit more ..."

"You want to see the Gorons if you want lots of good metal, really. That sounds like a kind of a big project. Maybe Purah could rig something up with the Guardian parts we have?" Shrug. "You can buy pillows and stuff, and paint."

"Paint and armor are most important at this stage. The others would just be nice.

... so, does that mean we should go to the Gorons after we see Purah?"

"You'll need fireproofing. They live on Death Mountain. I've got some fireproof elixirs, but I only have one set of magic fireproof armor."

"Couldn't I buy one?"

"In Goron City, yeah. They're super expensive though. My set cost 32,000 rupees. And your share of the monster loot so far is, like... Eighty or so. There's a reason not many people visit the Gorons."

She huffs. "I'd be able to kill monsters so easily if I had scrap metal. What a bind."

"There is a smith in Hateno Town. You can probably get some, just not a lot?" Shrug. "The Guardian is plenty good at pasting monsters, though."

"Sure is."

"Super satisfying having it on my side."

They keep going. Link makes them skirt around a tiny village (less than ten houses) sitting on the road - they'd just terrify everyone, anyway.

"We probably need to camp for the night and we can get to Hateno Town by lunch tomorrow. Or we could keep going in the dark, but that's not very fun and there's more monsters at night."

"I don't need much sleep, I can spend the time farming monsters for money."

"And I can deal with getting to bed late. Okay! Let's keep going, into the night, then. There's a three-quarters moon so it won't be too dark, at least."

They keep going. Killing monsters occasionally and having a good time.

She wouldn't expect it to be such a good time, killing things like that. Especially when they pop out of the ground. 

But it really is satisfying how the Guardian just ... takes care of them. 

"Monsters never learn. That's a fact, you know. They don't learn things." She laughs. "I wonder if you should leave your Guardian in the woods when we get there? Dye shop will be closed by now, we can sleep in the inn and hit it in the morning."

"Good idea."

She does that. They make their way to the inn.

This inn has much nicer rooms than Kakariko Village's! Link gives Naomi enough money, out of prospective future monster parts sales, to cover her own room.

"Thank you!"

They go to bed. Naomi wakes four hours later. Is Link up?

Nope. Like the rest of the town, Link is sound asleep.

She goes out on her own to collect things she might be able to sell. Staying close to the town, of course.
