Why am I here? [M]
I sighed small with a half laugh at my indescribable weakness.
The plains where tall grass trees grew had no other shadows and were surrounded by mystical tranquillity.
The sun sets completely, only one moon floats in the sky. The world is surrounded by darkness.
Zebuldia, the capital city, is a big city. The walls are bright and busy even at night, but not outside.
The vicinity of the main streets stretching out on all sides is regularly interrupted by the Knights by demons, which keep them somewhat safe, but when they come off a little, they turn into a world of weak carnivores.
Dangerous even in the morning. The night is even more dangerous. It's a place where you don't want to leave, even if it's an escort.
Hunters who take in Mana Materials not only strengthen their physical abilities, but also their senses.
The bright moonlight is too light for a first-rate hunter, but for me it is little different than total darkness.
He slapped me on the shoulder and I trembled. [M]
Turning around, Liz swings her arms around like she's in no different tension than she was in the morning.
"Klee! Take a look! Simos, Simos! Isn't that great?"
"... yeah yeah, right"
There was a huge strange creature hanging in Liz's probably waving hand.
It looks like a giant needle to be gripping. Thin feather-like rubs away, making a frightening rushing sound of scabbard. You're still alive, moving around hard. Liz was probably swinging and towing that.
It's dark and doesn't look good, but is it about the size of a puppy? But needless to say, it's not a puppy.
It was a blessing not to see well.
Simos? What's Simos?
... don't think I know anything.
I say with a trembling voice as Tino moved, who was alert to his surroundings as he followed him like a satellite in the immediate vicinity.
"Sister...... that's just great. I can't believe I caught Simos sneaking up on a night like this without sound or signs..."
What? Could Simos be common sense among hunters?
I had no choice but to activate the Dark-Eyed Ring, which I had refrained from using because it had a low amount of magic residue - "The Eye of the Wolves".
The power of the treasure tool brightens your vision at once.
What Liz was gripping was a giant mosquito. Give me a break.
Because you're armored, you're not too feminine for whatever it takes. The wild ones, too.
Simos and Yara are moving their wings like scratching algae. Feathers alone seem like a meter.
I am vulnerable to most demons, but insects and undead are not good at it.
Tino is watching Simos from close quarters. I have my eyes round, but I don't see how scared I am.
Aren't our women overdoing it?
"You live in this neighborhood of Imperial Capital..."
"Um, I'm usually supposed to be more in the back of the woods or something."
"I hate that..."
I mean, mosquitoes that size, I don't think anyone likes them.
To my sentiments, Liz slammed Simos on the ground, who seemed to be waving happily ever after.
The nasty sound of something crushing the buckwheat. The long legs of the crushed Simos are cramped.
I turned away from it. This is why I hate bugs.
Liz smiles cutely and tilts her neck when she hands on her pussy.
"There were plenty of them, but what do we do?
"... I wish you had a bug spray"
Liz nods once and the figure disappears. Apparently, he went to exterminate it.
Even a bomb that doesn't seem like a kick in the distance sounds like it blew up in a row.
This is why I don't like to go outside the capital. Liz is too strong, but only in terms of consideration, 'Mourning Ghost' sucks. It's Luke and the equivalent Worst.
Well, that's also her good part.
"Oh, uh... are you sure you're glad?
As usual, Tino asks wearing a black outfit that dissolves in the darkness.
Fully equipped. In a black jacket, a bunch of hip-strapped appliances. The first dagger is strapped to the waist so that it can be pulled out at any time, and I don't see the fatigue of the earlier training in its standings.
Good luck even though it would be time for a normal hunter to finish the job already.
"... Well, you have no choice. Liz, because you're selfish."
After Tino picked the treasure palace he wanted to go to, Liz went crazy.
Apparently, Tino was disturbed by Tino's rejection of the proposal I made.
Well, I managed to put that aside, but then Liz's words were unexpected to me.
- Whoa, let's go!
... I didn't mean to go.
There is actually no such thing as sequence in The Ghost of Mourning, founded between childhood tamers.
Although I am a nominal leader, we all came free without the strict rules that exist at Hunter's party in general.
Among other things, Liz has the best freedom. And the trouble is, Liz has a bad habit of trying to show me the good things every time.
Of course, if you say no strongly, you'll back off, but someone other than me will pay for your worsening mood.
In this case, it's Tino who's going to go out with the grumpy version of Liz. I'm just so sorry.
Tino swells his cheeks, called a potpourri.
"... When I asked you out, you didn't go out with me..."
I don't want to go either. If it's true, I don't want to go.
I don't have any treasure. [M] The last time I used "Dark Wings of Night Heaven (Night Hiker)" was even out of magic.
There are still some "Safe Rings" left on the defensive surface, but the others are almost completely destroyed. I can use the recharged 'dog chain', but if I don't get Lucia back soon, I'm going to be scared and I won't even be able to go outside properly.
"Did I have to come?
"Huh? Haven't had an adventure with Klee in a long time, it's so much fun!?
Soon, Liz returns, turning her arms around her neck from behind and hugging her.
Liz is lightweight with a ring on Tino. Her body is not very fleshy, but soft enough when snuggled up.
I put it on perfectly as if rubbing my cheeks, and it freaks me out when I'm whispered in a sweet voice.
It's night and you're fine. I'm in a good mood...... I don't want to be adventurous.
Tino is pulling to the tense Liz.
"Sister, this place, it's already outside the Empire City. Some powerful demons, like Simos, seem to be there, and, you know, not much like that..."
Is Simos a powerful demon...
Stop Liz hugging me from my back to that word and go around next door and take my arm. I told Tino, grinning, as if my lovers were intertwining their fingers and holding hands.
"Tee, alert. Because Klee's here, pity, don't show it to me, okay?
"Yes, sir"
... Well, if you're in a good mood, okay.
Liz is stronger than me, fully armed with treasure, so I'm weaker now than last time, but safer than last time.
You'll have enough time to buy, and let's just get this farce over with and go home.
§
The treasure hall Tino chose was no less than the treasure hall I chose and a lower level treasure hall.
The distance from the "White Wolf's Nest" was far enough to meet my criteria when I chose the treasure hall, but why I didn't put the treasure hall in the choice was because its size was very small.
Put on two dependable escorts and walk thirty minutes. That came into my sight.
A total of seventeen thick stone cylinders present in the middle of the plain. It's an open space about a hundred meters radius around it.
Is the difference between the treasure hall and the plains outside in that not a single grass tree has grown there? The seventeen stone columns that grew in a space of uneven bits and scalps are awesome, but to be honest they are very boring.
Level 1 Treasure Hall. "Arrain Cylinder Ruins Group".
An authentic garbage treasure house that always crawls around the bottom in treasure palace rankings, issued annually by the Explorers Association of the Imperial City.
The seventeen columns are three to five meters high, and the hunter with a bit of Mana Material can climb up easily, overlooking the entire treasure hall. And know that there is nothing there.
For once, Sand Golem appears as a phantom with a person shape of about a meter, but he has low strength, agility and endurance, and can't even be used for combat training because he collapses just by tapping lightly.
There's no such thing as treasure gear rarely out there, and even a newbie who just became a hunter would go to a treasure house a little better.
Well, the flow of ground veins is closely related to terrain, and treasure palaces that can be made into open plains with no traction like this are often low levels, but this is terrible nonetheless.
By the way, Alain is the name of the first man to find this disappointing treasure house.
My intent to send Liz is short-handed. Easy and time-consuming to explore is desirable.
Such a treasure house, Liz, would finish the investigation in ten seconds.
But it's also convenient now.
I didn't expect to be here on a night like this, but Sven and the others will be safe by now, finishing their investigation of The White Wolf's Nest. We're done deceiving Liz appropriately.
But Tino... how effective was my last quest to choose a treasure house that I would remove from my choices?
Pull my hand like Liz did. [M]
"Hey, hey, look, look, Klee! Sandra Bit's Nest!
The eyes are not suitable for the group of ruins. Liz's finger was a hole in the ground.
Sandrabit is a rabbit about halfway between demons and animals widely distributed near the imperial capital.
It's the same color as dirt, and the fur is cheap and the meat is bad. Dig a big nest hole in the ground and live there. It's not like people dare to hunt, but it seems to be one of those creatures that is highly reproductive and supports ecosystems near the Imperial City.
"Oh, my God, Tee's chosen treasure hall, it's boring, and no, even rabbits pull it out and play, huh?
Tino is shuddering at that tall voice. I guess you understood that your chosen treasure hall had nothing more to offer than rumors.
Well, even if you chose one of the treasure halls I mentioned, there wouldn't have been anything, but at least not so far so obvious.
Liz says with a grin on Tino, who is so frightened.
"Look, tee. Looking for me? I thought there was something, so you chose this place, didn't you? Klee chose it on purpose, but she refused. Don't let Liz embarrass you? How many minutes do you want in this treasure house? A minute or three? You want about five minutes? Tee's a bandit, too, and that's about it, right?
"!?... Ma, I will"
Liz is really tough on others and sweet on herself.
Tino is always calm and dependable, but he's only weak when Liz is involved, so from what I can tell, he's generally always weak. Poor thing.
Liz's Voltage goes up all at once to Tino, who called me in a trembling voice.
The grin disappears in an instant, releasing the arms that were tangled and yelling at Tino.
"Ah!? You're not blaming Klee! Take as much responsibility for your own words, you imbecile! You know what I mean? Klee, I'm telling you about Tee, only this fucking treasure house can attack you. You're a piece of trash!
I didn't say that.
"I didn't say that."
"Cry is sweet - but Tee is Liz's apprentice. Ah, unlike Liz. Oh, sweet guts have to be right.... right? Klee did it to us once. No."
Liz whispers out a cat.
Yeah, yeah, you are. Liz should be nicer than me. Did I do something later?
Tino is desperately shrinking. Unlike the last time I was in The White Wolf's Nest, I can't even hide behind me because Liz is right next to me.
I followed him like a senior hunter. [M]
"Well, well. Nice treasure house."
"Er..."
Grab the grieving Liz's shoulder and let her gaze at the Treasure Hall.
I look up at this one as Tino wanders, so I make him snort confidently. It's okay, I know how to handle her.
"For the most part, look, take a good look. It's not like there's nothing."
"Uh? Really no?
I do. I do.... Yes, a cylinder or something.
I'll see if there's anything else, but nothing brilliant about the stuff. Well, if I can't get enough anger, let's just say my hobby is cylindrical watching.
"... well, maybe it's not enough to take, but I don't hate it"
"Hmm?"
and that's when my vision darkened all at once. The magic of "The Eye of the Wolves" has been cut off.
I've become a bird's eye for those who aren't. I don't see anything anymore.
I couldn't help but laugh. It is also called a reality escape.
Notice what Tino is seeing, cough it up and put it back on its serious face.
"By the way, it's dark here, but do you see Tino properly?
"Yeah, Klee, that doesn't make any fool out of anything. You're training in the dark, aren't you? Only trash scum can't move well when you're still wearing a mask. Oh, Liz, it's your apprentice, and no."
Liz pointing her lips. I don't know...... I'm really sorry about the garbage scum.
Sigh small and Liz gives Tino instructions with her jaw.
"Well no. Tee, look, explore properly? Prove to Klee that you didn't see anything? That's about it, right?
"Yes... sister. Oh, look,"
I'm sorry, but I can't see it anymore with my eyes.
Tino rushes out and quickly disappears into darkness. In the distance, black blurry objects start climbing as they soak up blurry columns.
Oh, no. This. I don't see anything more than I thought. I'll just cheer for once.
"Tino, be careful!
"Yes! Yes!
Because if it falls, it's dangerous.... At Tino's level, is it okay to fall?
But this darkness is really bad. Unfortunately, the clouds were coming out. If the moon, the only source of light, were to hide, it would be invisible even some time ago. Shit.
I trust Liz. Her speed would make it easy for me to protect myself. But at the same time, Liz and the other members of The Mourning Ghost are overestimating my power. He's a snob.
Liz apologizes in a nasty and nagging way.
"Klee, I'm sorry. Klee ran for me because of you..."
"... no, no, I don't mind. Besides, I'm not lying that this treasure house Tino chose isn't bad."
"Huh? Really?
It's not, but it is.
"Really? Instead, I expected Tino to pick this treasure house. It's all on my palm."
"Huh? Really? That's Klee! Glad you didn't scold Tee!
Isn't that reprimand you just did...
I can't see Tino at all, so I have no choice but to look around.
I don't have the skill to fight, but I still want to do it as badly as possible. [M]
And, at that time, I found something small and glowing in the dark a few meters away. I stare but I don't know what it is at all. I don't have low eyesight, but it's too dark.
It's not my fault. Something's glowing.
Liz is stretching like relaxed. You haven't noticed?
"Liz, what's that?
"Hmm...? What's wrong with Sandrabit?
Oh, my God. Are rabbit eyes glowing?
That's right. If it's a dangerous demon, there's no way Liz, the opponent's specialist, won't notice.
Next to me, Liz moves. Move quickly, there was a rabbit in Liz's hand when he came back.
Grab both ears and let them hang in front of me.
I don't know the color because it's dark, but it looks like a regular rabbit. Her eyes are glittering, her body is sluggish, and her fur is scratchy. You noticed he was caught now, Sandrabit was shaking his jittery body.
I didn't say anything about catching you.
Liz, looking at the hanging rabbit, peered into its eyes and frowned. I've been silent for a while but I don't know what I didn't care about, before I stop, I tap Sandrabit to the ground and step on it.
The sound of bones and meat crushing you don't like no matter how many times you hear it. I looked down at the sandra bit, which stopped tickling, and looked at me and said, "Don, pull and stiff."
"I'll get the others too."
"Oh, yes."
Liz disappears in front of me, who unintentionally answers reflexively.
Could it have found pleasure in pulling out rabbits and smashing them? If you want to play anyway, play with love.
We've been dating a long time, but I'm really not sure what Liz is.
