    Episode 376: Treasure Hunter (4)

    He holds the weapon but does not aim it.

    Because their purpose has not yet been confirmed.

    If you provoke it for no reason an unfortunate situation may arise that turns something that could have been easily solved into a difficult situation.

    “What are we going to do?”

    “First let’s start with conversation.”

    “I will prepare.”

    “okay.”

    “Erwen you must never take the first step until I give you the signal.”

    After a short conversation with his colleagues he stood in front as if protecting the two people.

    And how long has it been?

    plod trudge.

    A group of fifteen explorers stopped outside our camp and a man who appeared to be their representative slowly walked out.

    “Luckily there’s no need to wake me up.”

    “Starting with an introduction to who we are.”

    “Haha you don’t have to be scared. “It won’t be anything you think about.”

    Who said they were scared?

    I’m just deciding whether or not he’s a guy whose head needs to be smashed.

    ‘There are four ranged wizards two melee priests and nine priests… are there no such thing?’

    However the number fifteen is somewhat significant.

    After the 6-person bond was created the basic unit became 6.

    There is a possibility that the remaining three may be hiding somewhere else.

    “You are a very suspicious friend. Let’s calm down and talk for a while. “If I came here with bad intentions there would be no reason to talk to you like this right?”

    In the end you have to look at it to find out.

    I glanced at the group waiting behind me then quickly shifted my gaze to stare at the man.

    “Okay what’s the use? “You do realize that wandering around other people’s campsites at night like this doesn’t look good right?”

    In response to my question the man revealed his identity.

    “We are the people of the Huntsman Clan.”

    “It’s a name I’ve never heard of.”

    “It has to be that way. To be honest it’s not a very famous clan. “Recently I’ve been doing little outside activities because I’ve been hunting for treasure on Pione Island.”

    “It’s treasure hunting…”

    Only then did I get a rough idea of ​​why this guy had come to visit us.

    “I don’t know if you know it or not but Pione Island is divided into six clans each acting in its own territory. “This is a measure to prevent indiscriminate disputes.”

    “so?”

    “This place where you are camping is the territory of our Huntsman Clan. “I want you to leave as soon as the sun rises tomorrow.”

    As expected it was hunting ground control.

    This is something that explorers have to go through from the 5th floor onward and it is something that makes you realize with your whole body that the labyrinth is a world of strength against the jungle.

    The first impression was not good but I can’t think of anything better.

    “I don’t remember hearing that the royal family granted the rights to Pione Island to a specific group.”

    “Haha contrary to what it looks like you speak in a tight manner. “Have explorers ever worked according to principles?”

    After asking that question the guy didn’t say anything.

    He just stands silently and stares at me.

    Depending on what decision I make the words that will come out of my mouth will probably be different.

    The worries did not last long.

    “Don’t worry. “I was planning to leave when the sun rises.”

    Since we really came here to stay for the night we decided that there was no need to cause a dispute to find the right to a hunting ground.

    But did my answer seem like it was a tailspin?

    “Haha did you? I guess we took a wrong step. “Thank you for understanding.”

    The guy who looked a little wary of us started laughing with a more relaxed expression.

    It seemed like they decided we weren’t that special.

    If I see you just not going off and saying things like this.

    “Anyway three people are a bit unusual. “Did you lose a friend by coming here?”

    “It’s not something you should worry about.”

    “Don’t be on guard. I’m just trying to help. If a monster suddenly appears wouldn’t something dangerous happen? “If you want we can lend you our campsite…”

    The nonchalant one glanced at Erwen and Amelia behind me.

    under. This guy really has a knack for making people angry.

    “Thank you for the offer but I decline.”

    “Hmm really? But the two ladies may have different opinions right?”

    Even though he said it kindly he persisted in making the offer and eventually backed out only after Erwen and Amelia clearly said no.

    “It’s a refusal.”

    “It’s not like we can’t take care of our own work.”

    “It’s a shame. Our clan branch is located in Ravigion District 8. “If the team disbands and you have nowhere to go come see us.”

    Ha it’s that shit until the end.

    “Now let’s go back to camp!”

    I barely suppressed my laughter and watched him lead the group back.

    “Why are you holding back uncle?”

    “You can’t start swinging a hammer just because you’re a little annoyed.”

    “Hmm wasn’t it?”

    Both Erwen and I roughly ignored Amelia’s words.

    “But if I had come forward those scum wouldn’t have been so rude…!”

    Erwen did not hide her resentment and spoke as if she did not understand but it was a decision she had no choice about.

    He stands out wherever he goes and rumors spread easily.

    No matter how small it was I didn’t want to expose our information to the outside world.

    But it would be remiss to say that.

    “But thank you Erwen.”

    “…What is it?”

    “Even though you were so angry you held back.”

    “That’s right… Because you told me never to take the first step…”

    “That’s what I’m thankful for and it’s amazing.”

    “Is that so…? It’s no big deal. It could be like that every day…”

    Instead of explaining the justification in detail the point was blurred.

    After all isn’t the most important thing to resolve emotions?

    “You finished surprisingly early?”

    “What are you talking about as if it’s amazing? Okay now let’s go back to sleep. Because I have to go out again tomorrow. Okay Erwen?”

    “yes!”

    After quickly sorting out the situation we laid down on the blanket again and went to bed.

    And how much time has passed?

    “Shuitz wake up.”

    Amelia quickly shook her shoulder and woke me up.

    What are those bastards again?

    Hwiik.

    He suddenly stood up and reached for the hammer that was placed next to him.

    “Calm down. “Because it’s not a person this time.”

    “…what?”

    Not a person?

    Then what on earth…

    “no way….”

    I quickly turned my head and glanced around and soon I was able to visually see what I was looking for.

    [Gigigikgigeek?]

    The only monster that appears on Phione Island.

    It was a grade 4 rare species Laplemimimic.

    ***

    La Flemimic.

    This monster is known to drop a number item when defeated and can earn up to billions of stones when its essence is revealed.

    Although it is a monster that appears in other fields there is no place where it is easier to encounter it than Phione Island.

    Well if it appears once a month it’s good.

    Of course that is also based on the entire island.

    “…I never thought I would meet him at a place I stopped by.”

    Yes this is exploration and romance.

    “What are you going to do Schuitz?”

    Amelia asked in a whisper-like voice and I answered.

    “What should I do?”

    Do you really think I’ll give up on him because of those guys?

    “Of course I should catch it.”

    “…I knew you would say that. Then I will wake Erwen up and come.”

    Soon Amelia headed to the blanket next to her to wake Erwendo and I belatedly noticed something strange.

    “Wait a minute Erwen? “When did you become so close?”

    “After looking at it I thought it was kind of cute.”

    Huh I really don’t know what people’s minds are like.

    Is this the case where we become affectionate after fighting?

    “…Are you cute?”

    “There was no need to wake you up.”

    “Wake me up… What are you two doing now?”

    “La Flemimic has appeared.”

    “…Really?”

    Erwen rubbing her eyes at the sound of our conversation hurriedly stood up and fixed her eyes on the box rolling around peacefully about 20 meters away.

    [Geek! Device geek?! Giggeek!]

    As a non-first-attacking monster Laflammik only showed curiosity when it saw us from a distance and did not show any hostility.

    “Erwen your role here is important. “Because there are no wizards on our team.”

    “i know. Didn’t you say that if there is no wizard you have to kill it all at once?”

    “Yes otherwise it will hide under the ground right away.”

    For reference if he hides under the ground it’s safe to say he just missed it.

    Therefore in the current situation one shot one kill is important…

    “Erwen shoot with all your might. If possible summon a dark spirit as well. Oh you know that the main body is a box right? “You shouldn’t shoot the stem just because it looks like a body—.”

    “Don’t worry. “I will definitely catch it!”

    “Yes I believe it.”

    There is no other option than to believe in it in the first place.

    Among us the one with the highest damage output was definitely Erwen.

    “Then… I will do it.”

    Soon Erwen slowly pulled the strings.

    And that moment.

    “Erwen Fornacci di Tercia casted [Element Synthesis].”

    Fire water wind earth and even darkness.

    Five attributes were combined into one and began to emit an unusual energy.

    Of course in the meantime La Flemimic remained calm.

    [Geek…?]

    La Flemimic tilts her head as if she wants to see all the strange phenomena. I felt a sense of biological guilt at that innocent sight but that was all.

    Aren’t we explorers?

    His job is to make money by defeating monsters and people.

    Tuk.

    Erwen soon finished concentrating and let go of the protest.

    Hehehe!

    Arrows rush at a speed so fast that it is difficult to see with the naked eye.

    [Gigi geek-!]

    Only then did La Premimic startle but it was already too late.

    Kwaaaaaaaaaa!

    It shot into La Premimic’s open mouth(?) and exploded with a loud noise.

    but….

    [Gigi geek…!]

    Surprisingly the guy was alive.

    The box shell was shattered and the body became a rag.

    [Gigikigeek-!]

    A guy who seems to be trying to squeeze out his last bit of energy and go into the ground.

    But Erwen was one step faster.

    “Erwen Fornacci di Tercia casted [Rupture].”

    As soon as the follow-up hit is made Laflammik turns into hundreds of fragments and scatters.

    Ssaaaaaa-!

    Before long the divided pieces turned into a halo of light and disappeared.

    “We have defeated La Flemimic. EXP +6」

    An increase in experience points that is clearly felt as a level 4.

    It was a very pleasant sensation no matter how many times I experienced it but I focused on other things.

    ‘Jeongsu… didn’t come out as expected.’

    I didn’t expect anything.

    If you had hoped that far you would be a complete thief.

    ‘Please only show up in the 5000 or above range.’

    Soon two objects fell onto the spot where Laflemimic was standing.

    One was a magic stone.

    And the other one….

    “It’s a ring…?”

    When I got closer and checked the loot I burst out laughing.

    “her….”

    “Do you know Schuitz?”

    Anyway how could I forget?

    I almost died because of this once.

    No.6111 Destiny Seeker.

    The ring worn by the dragon slayer we met in the maze of Larkaz.

    ‘It’s not a bad item but it’s a bit disappointing…’

    “What kind of ring is it? “If it’s good for an archer…”

    Erwen pursed her lips with a greedy look.

    I’m a kid who’s never been particularly greedy for material things but do I still covet number items?

    “It’s hard to say what type of explorer it’s good for.”

    “You mean it’s ambiguous?”

    “If I were to classify it it is a detection-type magic tool. “When something happens around you you can tell whether it’s positive or negative through the color the ring represents.”

    For reference there are three types of colors.

    It is green red yellow.

    So I usually called it a traffic light ring.

    “There’s no harm in having one so it would be better to keep it and not sell it.”

    “…Then can I wear it?”

    “you? But aren’t you wearing a lot of rings anyway? “I’ll just stick with this.”

    “Oh yes. yes That would be better right? also?”

    I must have asked for Erwen’s understanding as well. Without hesitation I put the ring on my finger.

    And that moment.

    “The ring has sensed the character’s fate.”

    The ring lit up.
