(EP-87.2) Club #6
087 – Adventure Club #6
Worried and unsure of Marmar’s scream, Kalira awkwardly added.
“If it’s too small, we can up it to 100,000 coins.”
“1… 100,000 coins…!!!”
Marmar seed on the verge of going crazy.
“If I have 100,000 coins, that’s 20 cutlets a day…. 500 eggs…. Hehe, I’ll, I’ll be rich. If I hatch the eggs, I’ll have 500 chickens. If 500 chickens lay eggs….”
Seeing Marmar’s condition getting worse, Kalira rummaged through her pockets.
“Is she still hallucinating? I have no more antidote, what should I do?”
“No, it’s okay. She’s just like that.”
“I’m thinking of having her as an assistant. Or maybe at the reception desk since she looks cute. But I’m a little concerned….”
It seed that Marmar’s actions reduced Kalira’s favorability.
At the end, Marmar’s tail was drooping helplessly, “I don’t like being an assistant either-.”
All in all, managing the relationship between subordinates was definitely more difficult than expected…

“This is the door.”
We went down to the basent with Kalira. Seeing the door, Kalira checked the place and sighed.
“There is a reason the two of you had hallucinations of spiders at the sa ti. Look there.”
Kalira pointed her finger at the floor in front of the door.
Now that I could see it, there was a rug or carpet in front of the tal door, with a spider embroidered in black thread.
“I sense a magical energy from it. Maybe it’s like a talisman that induces unpleasant visions to unwelco visitors.”
So this plus hallucinogens combined to create that spider nightmare.
“It’s been abandoned for a long ti, but seeing that it still works, despite the weakened state, you can see how good the craftsmanship is.”
“It’s like a spell, right?”
“Indeed.”
As expected, it was so form of magic or spell. My calm thinking skill seed to be quite adept at deducing such things.
However, we really had to suffer because of this stupid carpet!
“Tsk-.”
It was upsetting. Sweeping away the carpet also revealed a pile of spider husks underneath, which made my frown deeper.
“Ugh-.”
“Dried spiders!”
anwhile, Marmar was delighted at the discovery and put them in her bag…
“Dried spiders can be used for dicine. It is a valuable ingredient.”
“No one asked you, red eyes!”
Marmar stuck her tongue out at Kalira. However, Kalira’s interest was on the tal door, touching it.
“It’s definitely a bit odd to have a lock that works from the outside. There is also magic at the entrance. However, it doesn’t seem like there’s anything particularly dangerous about it for now.”
Serueng, Tok. Tong.
Kalira opened the rusty lock that we didn’t even move an inch of. Marmar and I could only tremble at the nonchalance…
“See! Red eyes are dangerous! You can’t have soone like that as a subordinate!”
Even in the midst of it all, Marmar was still relentlessly against Kalira.
It was like a fox cursing spoiled milk for being sour.
「You have calmly judged the situation!
You have gained experience points through the talent 《Calm Thinking》.
All job experience 5」
‘Alright then.’
At this ti, with all the locks released, Kalira took a deep breath and used so force.
However, after being tightly closed for a long ti, the tal door only creaked.
“Theo, can you help ? I think we can open it if we work together.”
“Of course.”
I grabbed the door with Kalira and pulled it hard alongside her. Then, finally, the rusty door was pulled open with an overwhelming presence.
Whirrr-.
An eerie chill whirled out of the open door. Even Marmar, who had been showing constant hostility towards Kalira, shut her mouth.
“It’s too dark. It doesn’t look like there’s anything inside. Still, be careful since there might be danger.”
Kalira rummaged through the pouch on her waist, perhaps looking for a torch.
“There should be a lamp here sowhere….”
“Get out of the way, redhead.”
After being silent for a while because of the overwhelming darkness, Marmar intervened between us and touched her tail.
Click-.
I heard a strange switch click sound from Marmar’s tail, then sothing very surprising happened.
“What, Marmar, your tail is shining?”
“Heh heh, diamond tails can shine!”
Marmar’s tail began to glow, emitting dazzling light.
Its brightness was like that of the high light beam of the car in the dark. It was almost blinding.
The thing was just really, really bright!
Seeing this, Marmar smirked.
“What do you think? Aren’t I more useful than this redhead?”
“…….”
Kalira didn’t say anything to Marmar’s provocation.
Rather, she smacked her lips at the brightly shining diamond tail.
I was afraid that Kalira might pluck Marmar’s tail off, so I quickly steered the situation away.
“Then shall we all go inside? Rember to watch your steps, everyone.”
And so our group of three went inside the secret room in the basent. The reason why I called this place a ‘room’ was due to the small space.
The first thing I saw was an old pool table, lined with round balls. Kalira grabbed one of them and said.
“It’s made of ivory. Quite expensive as well. I think they’re 500,000 coins each.”
“I saw them first!”
Surprised by this fact, Marmar imdiately put the pool balls into her bag.
“It’s a lie, though~.”
“Ugh…! As expected, you’re hateful! You’re one of those nobles, aren’t you? You lot only spout lies!”
“Oh my, do I look like a graceful noble~?”
While Kalira and Marmar were at each other’s throats, using Marmar’s tail as a light source, I slowly looked around this abandoned sealed room.
In addition to the pool table, the room was full of things used for enjoynt and hobbies such as a sofa, an extra bed, and the books lying on the floor….
There was just nothing particularly useful.
Still, I thought there might be sothing, and urged everyone to continue searching the room together. Then Marmar said as if she had discovered sothing.
“Comrade, this. You need to see this yourself.”
“Why? Did you find the na Isaiah?”
“No, it’s not the na of Isaiah….”
Seuk.
Marmar held out a small book with a black tan leather cover. On it were the words:
「Adventure Club 5th Activity Report: Theo Gospel and Priga Nightfall.」
Well, I certainly didn’t expect this…
