"Why did you do that?! Stupid!"
Ars brought them both into the Bull Hornet's lair with no problems. But the girl shouted stupid instead.
"I won't do it if I can't."
"That's not the problem!"
Ars did not understand and did not want to understand the way the young girl thought.
"Calm yourself. Let's start the work."
Bull Hornet nests do not have as many segnts as normal wasp nests. It was because they lived only to serve the Queen.
For that reason, Hunter who ca to harvest Royal Jelly only needed to find the segnt where the Queen slept. That's where they'll find the Royal Jelly.
But Ars need not spend a lot of energy to do that. With [Value Scanner], Ars can imdiately find the location of the Royal Jelly.
Elisa's legs were still limp. Especially considering that they are 30 ters above the ground. While she could barely move, the bitter man stared up sharply.
"Co on."
The man once again told Elisa to get up.
Elisa was up, but she had no idea how to follow the man.
"What are you waiting for?"
"I'm not waiting, but ..."
The man is climbing each segnt to get to the top. Elisa can't do that.
'Ah, typical', thought Ars. A girl, especially a city girl, could not climb high places. Ars forced to go down again, then got closer to Elisa.
Elisa knows what Ars wants to do. "Wait-wait-wait! You want to lift up and force to go with you, right! That won't happen again!"
Elisa beca arrogant again. Ars can't stop thinking, why is Elisa so troubleso to be taken care of.
"Then what do you want? Sit here and let harvest the honey myself?"
"No, you might ss with that precious item!"
"Then just tell how to keep from ssing up?"
"Then what does it an for you to recruit ?!"
Ars had felt his veins throb with emotion.
"Then, how?" asked Ars in a deep voice.
Elisa pissed Ars off. She was getting scared because there were only the two of them there.
Elisa could only think of one solution to their problem. "... back ."
"Ha?"
"Piggyback ."
"Aaahh," Ars didn't think about that.
As Elisa asked, Ars carried Elisa upstairs.
Elisa pressed her body against the back of a man seven years older than her. She felt embarrassed. She wondered what the man was thinking.
"All that sticky liquid is 5k!," Ars got excited in his heart.
They have found the section that contains Royal Jelly. Ars dismantled the segnt to make it easier to move.
"So how do we do it?"
Ars took out a machete from nowhere. Elisa got surprised, but imdiately thought maybe he kept it in his pants.
"Do I take everything? Or?"
"No. We just need to take the middle part. The part that is darker and looks thicker."
Ars looked at the honey blob better, and found that the center of the lump was darker, and the outside had a lighter color.
"So, I just have to take the middle part?"
"Yes, you can slice, and separate from here on out."
Elisa pointed out which part to cut. Then Ars imdiately executed the command.
Their work was progressing smoothly. Elisa didn't think. She thought the cold guy she was with was hard to work with. But on the contrary, he was a straightforward man. Although Elisa also doesn't like his sotis-careless attitude.
"Waaaaaaaaaaa!"
While they were peacefully working, suddenly Elisa heard soone screaming.
"Did you hear that?"
"Maybe we are being attacked."
"What?! Then we have to go down and help them!"
"No need. Didn't you hear that they are Bear Beast Hunters?"
"O - oh, yes."
Elisa had forgotten that. It was because Elisa had doubts about them from the start. But if they have a competent man like Ars, they must be a strong party.
On the other hand:
"Nanda! Shield!"
"Tito! Move while attacking!"
"Mooooomm!"
"All of you calm down and face the bears - wohohooo! That was so close!"
Randi and four of his n survived the attack of seven Bear Beasts. Ars and Elisa finish harvesting the Royal Jelly and prepare to go down.
Ars looked down from the nest entrance.
Below, Randi and four of his n lay on the ground, exhausted.
Ars who didn't care about that shouted, "We are finished here! I'll start dropping the two buckets of Royal Jelly! If you ss up, I'll beat you up!"
'He just said he wanted to beat up his party mbers?', Elisa surprised. Actually, what kind of relationship existed between the cold man in front of her and the other party mbers.
Ars finished lowering the two buckets filled with Royal Jelly.
"Your turn."
Elisa had her heart ready, though she was still afraid to go down.
Ars stretched out the rope that tied Elisa slowly down a few ters. But he suddenly let go of his helping hand, letting Elisa fall.
"Waaaaaaaaaaa!"
Elisa saved above the surface five ters, then dropped to the ground slowly. She sat limply on the ground, unable to stand.
"Elisa, are you okay?!"
The other party mbers imdiately approached to see Elisa's condition. But what Elisa needs is an explanation from Ars.
"Why did you do that to ?!" shouted Elisa upstairs.
But the answer ca not far from their position. "Don't protest too much. Let's start packing."
Ars was coming downstairs just as Elisa was being dropped down.
It shocked everyone because no one saw Ars co down with a rope. Except for Randi, who imdiately ran to Ars.
"Don't you feel sorry for her, Ars?" asked Randi.
Elisa didn't understand. Actually, who is that cold man. Why is he acting like he's the party leader? Without being able to know the answer, they started walking ho.
West Station / Downtown
Noon /
"This is your paynt according to the agreent, Elisa."
Randi paid Elisa as much as [500 Cash]. The pay was quite a lot to give to a 15-year-old girl.
Elisa hesitated. "But I didn't seem to be doing anything. Is it okay for you to pay this much? "
All Elisa did throughout the adventure was only to cast Ars a protective spell, and instructing Ars how to harvest the proper Royal Jelly, that's all.
But no one protested with that.
"Don't worry, Elisa, you've done your best."
"It is true. If you are still not satisfied, you can join us for lunch and tell us more about the Sylvia Shield Family. "
"Ooh, that's a great idea!"
Four of Randi's n try to convince Elisa. Although the intention behind it was to dig up information regarding the Sylvia Shield Family.
When Elisa confused, and four of Randi's n surrounded her, soone lifted a load from inside the cart.
Randi imdiately dispersed four of his n who surrounded Elisa. Then said: "That is the paynt according to the agreent. You don't need to hesitate to accept it. "
Hearing Randi's gentle words made Elisa finally calm down.
"Okay, thank you."
Elisa smiled sweetly, proud of herself.
Since they have completed their task, it's ti for them to part.
"Then we part here."
Elisa turned around, walking in a different direction from her forr party mbers. It was sad, but Elisa was doing her best with them. Tomorrow she will try to wait for the party who wants to take her on another adventure.
"Elisa!"
From behind, Randi called out to her.
Elisa turned around to find six n had started their work. Randi, the party leader who, for so reason, is close to the cold man, looked at Elisa sincerely.
"If you are willing to, do you want to co with us again tomorrow?"
Elisa startled. She did not think that the sa invitation would co a second ti.
Because she had been invited, she couldn't just refuse. "I'm fine, if you insist!" she replied arrogantly.
Elisa then turned around and trotted, feeling cheerful.
At the back, Ars was raving about sothing. "She is an arrogant brat."
"But you like her, right?"
Randi knows the tastes of his friends. One of them is a blonde-haired woman.
"I'll kill you if you say em a pedo."
"Hey-hey, I didn't say that!"
Ars would not hesitate to point his sword at Randi.
"I need her head to tell many things. Since all of you are useless."
"You can say that when you ask to beco a substitute for your existence."
At that ti, Ars's relationship with Randi is a strong dude who ordered other people to beco a substitute for his existence. To put it simply, Ars does not want his identity as a strong figure to be known, because of that he becos the shadow of Randi, who has a shining figure.
After finishing loading, the six of them imdiately went to the North Hall Guild. With Randi's n waiting outside, Randi and Ars entered the Traders room.
"This ti you brought a friend, Vanguard Ars."
"Yeah."
