Chapter 550 - Secret Quest - Actiated!
"Lai-lai, are you sure that you don't want to rest a bit more...?"
Rotte the warrior slightly on the bigger side asked the black-haired elven sage while supporting her walking towards one of the buildings in the fort.
"...yeah, I am fucking sure... I honestly hope that I am wrong..."
Lairs nodded, with one arm over Rotte's shoulders while clenching her crystal orb in her left hand, close to her heart.
"What is that supposed to an...?"
The warrior asked in confusion but didn't try to actually stop the elf since he knew her long enough to realize that even without his help she would end up crawling to her destination if she had to.
"Mana... all of a sudden soone with a lot of mana showed up and stirred up the nature-based mana in the air – another elf just popped up right there, and she didn't even use the teleportation skill. That would cause a completely different reaction..."
Lairs shook her head and declared, gritting her teeth glaring at the building with the half-opened door as if she tried to see through the wooden walls with her determination alone and see the person inside.
"Elf you say? And you sure that wasn't either of the two with Mrs. Pride...?"
Rotte raised his brows and looked towards the headquarters.
"No. I never t those two before – but the mana of that new one... I recognize it... vaguely... I must check it...! I must make sure...!"
Lairs nodded, gritting her teeth so hard as if she tried to ground them into dust.
"..."
The warrior closed his mouth and furrowed his brows thinking deeply – he wasn't the smartest out of the Dandelions and he could be quite dense – but he also wasn't completely stupid.
Once he managed to control his tendency to rush coming to conclusion and connect the dots – he understood his elven older sister's behavior.
"Lai-lai... considering all we know, there's really no reason for your mothe..."
"I fucking know! But I sense that whore's mana in that fucking building, alright?!"
Rotte breathed out trying to cool down the agitated Lairs, but the black-haired elf growled in fury, clenching her hand on the crystal orb so hard that she broke her nails, making her fingers bleed.
"...oh...! See – it's just Zombie...!"
Then soone walked out of the building – it was the blue undead knight – and Rotte breathed out in relief, but...
"Good, good – stay there and save your energy – we have a present just for you, Lairs~!"
"...!"
The blue undead knight looked straight at them and his face twisted with a cruel smile befitting the demon emperor and he ended up motioning at Rotte and Lairs to stop.
"You will need so space to act freely."
Zombie added and make way for soone behind him.
"..."
The next person that showed up was of course the red-haired Cranberry who smiled cheerfully and waved at the two Dandelions...
"N-NOO! NOOO! STOOP! I BEG YOU!"
"!!!!!!!!!!!"
...and dragged out the struggling elven woman...
"Lairs... Is this...?"
Rotte asked – but he really didn't have a need for the black-haired elven woman to answer him as the mont the captured elf showed up, Lairs tensed up and her breath hastened becoming irregular as if she was about to suffocate.
With her eyes focused on the captured woman, Lairs bared her teeth as if she was a wild animal ready to pounce at her prey to rip her apart.

"N-NOOO! NOT HER! KILL ! JUST KILL NOW! DON'T GIVE TO THAT CURSED CHILD!"

While struggling, Salak caught a glimpse of Lairs in the corner of her eye and went into a frenzy, screaming, crying, and kicking up her legs – which was apparently enough to start a quest because both Cranberry and Zombie received the series of system ssages at the sa ti.
"Oh-ho! Very good! I was worried that we will need Marlo to be here with us, but it seems that being a player character is enough~!"
Zombie chuckled, stepping to the side so that Cranberry could pass him.
"Ha? Nope – no way – no special quest can be triggered without the heroine."
"Huh...?"
The red-haired girl frowned and glanced at him in disbelief – leaving the blue undead knight dumbfounded for the first ti in a while.
"Then what the hell were those, huh? Or are you saying that Mindy is here too, but she found a way to fool my life signature detection?"
Zombie frowned back and asked.
"No, Mary is back at the capital together with Roan – and I bet she must be stunned seeing a special quest pop up just like that~ Lairs – here – a gift for you!"
Cranberry's expression changed into a smirk as she answered her husband before she turned to the black-haired elf supported by the warrior...
"AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH...!"
*thump*
...and she threw the horrified Salak right under their feet...
"How do you know where she is...?"
Zombie's eyes followed the elven woman but he still asked Cranberry with curiosity.
"Oh, it's very simple – Mary is my follower – as such I know where she is and roughly know what she is doing – I also can add her to my party whenever I want. Isn't that convinient~?"
The red-haired girl smirked, taking out a handkerchief and wiping her hands thoroughly.
"Perfect~"
Zombie grinned and nodded, pleasantly surprised.
"Should we grab Lairs and go to the Envy's territory imdiately then?"
He asked lightheartedly.
"What? And miss on the show? Are you insane?"
Cranberry scoffed and shook her head in disbelief.
"I don't know about you but I am certainly not a person that stops others from taking revenge on the people that wrong them. Watching matricide is still my third favorite thing to do!"
The red-haired girl declared proudly.
"What about the second and the first?"
The blue undead laughed and asked although he knew the answers.
"Second is committing it myself..."
Cranberry counted down on her fingers with a lighthearted expression.
"And the first one is being with you."
She tilted her head and shrugged her shoulders as if it wasn't a big deal at all.
"That's why I will definitely kill that bitch cow whose sll is all over you."
She added – and her voice turned ice-cold instantly.
"Honestly – I can't bla you on that – in your place, I would do exactly the sa."
The blue undead nodded with an indifferent expression.
"You aren't going to try and defend her by saying it was Caral's fault because she used suggestion skill on you and turned you into a fucking idiot?"
Cranberry furrowed her brows and asked.
"Do you want to? Wow, you aren't even half as obsessed with as I am with you. That's disheartening. I would annihilate the entire species of the creature you cheated on with - willingly or not."
"Pffft! Ha ha! Ha ha! Ha ha! I love you, you selfish rotten hearted hypocrite."
The blue undead knight and the red-haired girl grinned at each other and then turned back to the revenge spectacle starting....
