Chapter 320

320 Bear-san Gets the Crystal Plate .

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 .

[Yuna-san!?] Karina

After she descends from Hugging Bear, Karina embraces me .

[Yuna-san, 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

[Yuna-san!] 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 and doesn’t try to help me .

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 Senia-san 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 Balima-san 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 Senia-san 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 Yuna-chan, 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

Senia-san, 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 Yuna-san, 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- Yuna-san… . . ] Karina

Karina looks at me with teary eyes .

I think I did a little too much .

[Sorry . ] Yuna

[Yuna-san, 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 Yuna-san 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 Yuna-san, 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 Yuna-chan 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 Balima-san .
