After getting out of the ground, I looked around .
[Um, here?] Yuna
When I looked behind me, there was the pyramid . But there’s no entrance . Apparently, I am at the backside of the pyramid .
Is everyone at that side?
I went through great lengths of killing the Scorpion, just to see that there’s nobody here to welcome me .
Using the Bear Detection Magic, I found multiple human reactions near the entrance of the pyramid .
I closed the hole where I climbed . I summoned Swaying Bear, ride him and went to the entrance of the pyramid .
Swaying Bear, dashes in the desert with
There were only 5 reactions picked-up by the Detection Magic . I can’t see Uragan when I searched .
Did he finished dismantling and returned to the city?
While riding around the pyramid on Swaying Bear, a white thing was coming from the front with a great speed .
It’s a Bear!
No, it’s Hugging Bear .
Hugging Bear who’s carrying Karina, was dashing in the desert with sand smoke behind him . There’s the figure of Karina, who’s doing her best to prevent her from being shaken off so hard .
Well, you won’t fall even if you don’t cling to him, but it seems that Karina doesn’t look so good .
I got off Swaying Bear .
If this keeps up, Hugging bear and Swaying Bear will collide with each other .
[Hugging Bear . Stop, Stop! STOP!!] Yuna
Hugging Bear slows down and stops, then he rubs his face against me .
[Hugging Bear, I’m back . ] Yuna
I stroke Hugging Bear’s head and scratch his chin . Hugging Bear is very happy .
[You’ve properly protected Karina . Thank you . ] Yuna
While I was holding Hugging Bear, Karina clung at Hugging Bear and looked at me .
[Yunsan!?] Karina
After she descends from Hugging Bear, Karina embraces me .
[Yunsan, you were safe . I was so worried . ] Karina
Hugging Bear rubs his face against me .
In addition, Karina hugs me as well .
[Both of you, calm down . ] Yuna
[Yunsan!] Karina
I can’t take it anymore and fall on my back . Of course, I could push them back if I really want to, but I can’t do that to Karina and Hugging Bear .
When I fall on my back, they fall on top of me .
Swaying Bear looks at me .
[Swaying Bear, sa~ve me~e . ] Yuna
When I asked Swaying Bear for help, he just cried
How awful .
In the meantime, I told the two of them to get up and help me stand up .
I seem to have caused a lot of worry .
[I am glad you’re safe . ] Karina
Karina has tears in her eyes .
While she I’m patting her head and comforting her, Jade-san and the others comes riding on the Ragaroot .
[Yuna!?] Jade
[Hugging Bear-chan suddenly ran off, so I thought something must’ve happened . ] Mel
[I was surprised when Hugging Bear started running . ] Senia
Jade-san, Mel-san and Senisan came .
However, Toya is not here .
[Etto, I just returned . ] Yuna
[So why is Yuna here outside? We were waiting for you at the entrance . ] Jade
[It’s a hassle to go back the way we came from, so I dug a hole with magic . ] Yuna
[In just a short time . ] Mel
Mel-san has an amazed expression .
I feel that I had a similar exchange before .
[So did you defeat the monster?] Jade
[Yeah, I already did . ] Yuna
Everyone was surprised at my word .
[So then, Jade-san and the others, can I ask you to dismantle it? Of course, I’ll compensate you for it . ] Yuna
I can’t dismantle it . But, I can’t take it back to Crimonia and ask Fina .
Though once we got back to the city, I can just ask Balimsan to hire someone to dismantle it . That is, until they see the Scorpion .
It’ll become troublesome in various ways . So I should just ask Jade-san and the others who already knew about the Scorpion .
[You don’t need to compensate us . It’s enough to have the experience of dismantling that monster . ] Jade
[Even if we’ve experienced it, I don’t think we’re going to dismantle that kind of monster again in the future . ] Mel
Jade-san and his party are willing to accept the dismantling job .
We will move to the entrance of the pyramid to do the dismantling . When I try to ride Swaying Bear, Hugging Bear sadly cried
Hugging Bear doesn’t want to let go of me .
It looks like he wants me to ride him .
[Hugging Bear-chan . It was fine if it was at the beginning, but I’ll be lonely if you leave me half way . ] Karina
Today I asked Hugging Bear to escort Karina, so I didn’t ride him .
[Karina, can you ride on Swaying Bear this time?] Yuna
[Y-yes . I understand . Swaying Bear-chan, please . ] Karina
Swaying Bear gladly obeyed . Karina climbed on him .
Yeah, I’m glad Swaying Bear wasn’t selfish .
Even though they both want me to ride them, I only have one body .
Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear were also saving me from trouble . When I ride on Hugging Bear, he runs happily .
Karina is riding on Swaying Bear .
[Wai, please wait . ] Jade
Jade-san and the others followed .
When we arrived at the entrance of the pyramid, Toya stood there alone .
[You guys are so cruel . Leaving me behind . ] Toya
[Because Hugging Bear-chan suddenly starts running . ] Mel
[You were sleeping . ] Senia
Mel-san and Senisan gave Toya a cold treatment .
But he was sleeping while people were fighting?
However, I can’t really say that myself because I was sleeping until a while ago .
[I can’t help it . I’m tired of dismantling . ] Toya
[Well, everyone feels the same . ] Senia
[Jade~ . ] Toya
Toya looks at Jade-san for help .
[Ah sorry, I forgot . ] Jade
[Jade~~~~~~ . ] Toya
Toya’s cry was dispersed in the desert .
Well, I left Toya alone and decided to look around .
[Um, what about Uragan and his party?] Yuna
They didn’t show in my Detection Magic earlier, so I asked them .
[They’ve finished dismantling, so they went back to the city . At first I said something like wait for Yunchan, but it seems like they’re too tired doing dismantling . ] Mel
[We helped with the dismantling as well . ] Toya
So Toya got tired and went to sleep .
Well, before that, he might have been tired from fighting monsters or being on high alert all the time .
When you think about it, Jade-san and the others are amazing .
[So Yuna, where do you want to dismantle it? you have it, don’t you?] Jade
I nod to Jade-san’s words . They already know that I have a high capacity item bag that can fit the Black Viper and big worm inside .
[If we’re outside, the sand will stick to it, is it better inside that pyramid?] Jade
[That’s right . We have to make sure that it’s safe and wide enough . ] Mel
I don’t have a problem with that .
Nodding to Jade-san’s proposal, the dismantling site was moved to the area near the entrance of the labyrinth .
When we arrived at the entrance of the labyrinth, I took out the big Scorpion from the Bear Box .
[You really killed it . ] Jade
[Uwah, it’s so big . ] Toya
Everyone goes around the Scorpion .
[It doesn’t have a tail . Did you cut it?] Mel
[There’s a knife in it’s back . ] Senia
Senisan, who was searching the back of the Scorpion, noticed .
But it didn’t do much damage .
[But where’s the fatal wound?] Senia
[It’s the tail, isn’t it?] Toya
[If you can kill it with just cutting the tail off, no one will have a hard time . ] Senia
[Then how did she kill it?] Mel
Everyone’s eyes turned to me .
[That’s a little bit…] Yuna
[[[[…………]]]]
Everyone’s gaze hurts .
I can’t really say that I drowned it in seawater using the Bear Gates .
When it entered the Bear Box, the seawater seems to have been excluded and the Scorpion was not wet either . However, there is a possibility that the seawater is in its body .
I didn’t think of it too much .
I hope the sea water doesn’t come out from it .
I prayed to God .
The Bear God who seemed to have brought me to this world came to mind .
Very unlikely to be reliable .
[But Yunsan, this really is such a big monster…] Karina
Karina tried to touch the Scorpion with her frightened little hands .
Looking at such figure, a mischievous mind springs up .
I gently and quietly move behind Karina and close in at her ear, then…
[UWAA!!!] Yuna
[Kya!] Karina
Karina sat down in her surprise .
[Are you okay? ] Yuna
[Yu- Yunsan… . . ] Karina
Karina looks at me with teary eyes .
I think I did a little too much .
[Sorry . ] Yuna
[Yunsan, is so terrible . I thought I was going to die . ] Karina
[Sorry, sorry . When I saw Karina, who was cautiously trying to touch it, it’s so cute, I just can’t help it . ] Yuna
[No, it’s not funny . I was really scared . I thought I was going to die . ] Karina
[Did you wet yourself by any chance?] Yuna
I asked in a small voice .
Karina blushes in my words .
[No I did not! I don’t know Yunsan anymore!] Karina
Looks like she’s really angry .
It was just a joke, but it failed splendidly .
[Karina, I’m sorry . Karina was just so cute . ] Yuna
[I don’t want to be told that by Yunsan, who’s wearing such a cute outfit . ] Karina
Karina doesn’t want to face me .
It’s difficult to handle a 10 year old girl .
How was I when I was 10 years old?
I might need a memory jog .
Yeah, I was a pretty girl . Its true!…… .
[I want to quickly start the dismantling . ] Jade
Jade-san and his party, were looking at us with dumbfounded face .
[[I’m sorry . ]] Karina & Yuna
Me and Karina bowed down and apologized to Jade-san’s group .
[So we just need to take out what Karina is looking for?] Jade
[I don’t mind . ] Yuna
Karina looks at me .
Certainly, the dismantling of the Scorpion is not included in this request .
[It’s fine because it’ll take a lot of time . I’ll do that when I return to Crimonia . ] Yuna
I really want to ask them, but .
Even if I ask Fina, it is unlikely that she can do it alone .
If I ask Gentz-san or the Adventurer’s Guild, it will turn into chaos if they saw the Scorpion, so it’s better to ask Jade-san and his friends .
But it would take some time to dismantle the big Scorpion . Therefore, the crystal plate takes priority today .
[Karina . Do you know where it is?] Jade
When asked by Jade-san, Karina approached the Scorpion .
And she walks around it .
[It’s around here . ] Karina
She points behind the Scorpion, near the tail .
[Here? Then we have to remove this shell . Toya help me remove the shell here . ] Jade
The Scorpion has a shell that’s connected together, similar to the crayfish and shrimp, the tail is bend .
And there were grooves at the joint .
Jade-san was instructed to remove the second shell from the back . When Jade-san and Toya took out their knives, they stabbed it into the groove .
[It’s too hard] Toya
[Senia and Mel we need your help . ] Jade
[Can’t help it then . ] Mel
4 people worked together to take off that part of the shell .
Again, looking at the shell, it is almost 10cm thick . It’s not enough to stab it lightly with a knife .
Jade-san dismantles as Karina directed, revealing a pale blue crystal plate .
[Th, that’s it!] Karina
Karina runs happily and receives the crystal plate .
Of course, Mel-san washed it with water before handing it over .
It was good that the seawater did not came out .
If it came out, the explanation will be long and troublesome .
[This ends the request . ] Jade
[But this shell is really hard . ] Toya
Toya was banging it hard .
[That’s right . It’s even lighter than iron and might be perfect for making armors . ] Senia
In the game, you can make armors with the materials of the monster you defeated . Now, what kind of armor can you make with what’s in front of you?
[Of course, I’m good with a light armor . ] Toya
[It may be even lighter . ] Senia
[Then, I’ll give the peeled shell to you and your party Jade-san . ] Yuna
[Are you sure?!] Toya
Toya was the one who’s pleased, not Jade-san .
I don’t need it anyways .
[No, we can’t accept this . This was defeated by Yuna . ] Jade
[Jade, Jō-chan was about to give it to us . ] Toya
Toya was the one who want it the most .
[Then will you please listen to me?] Yuna
[A request? ] Jade
[Can you not tell anyone that I have defeated this Scorpion . ] Yuna
[Why not? Don’t you want to report it to the adventurer guild?] Jade
[I won’t . If I report it, it will be a hefty lot of trouble . ] Yuna
[I don’t get it . You should be proud of it . ] Toya
[If Yunchan doesn’t want us to tell anyone, then we won’t tell anyone . If you don’t want it then go ahead and tell everyone . ] Mel
[No, I want it . ] Toya
Everyone looked at Toya .
[I won’t talk, even if I don’t receive the shell . ] Toya
[…………]
I wonder about that . Unlike Jade-san, you can’t trust Toya’s words .
Jade-san thinks deeply .
[But then you have to ask Uragan and his party as well . ] Jade
[Does Uragan knew about the Scorpion?] Yuna
[Oh, when he heard that Yuna wasn’t here with us, I told him that you were left behind fighting that . ] Jade
If so, do we need to shut him up?
[Well, let’s talk about that after we return . ] Yuna
I put the Scorpion back in the Bear Box, including the shell that they removed .
After that, we’re going to use the crystal plate map to replace the magic stones, but that would still be a secret .
And besides, it’s almost time for the sun to set .
We need to temporarily return and report to Balimsan .
