27. Her

"I have been alone for years hahahaha!"

"I have manipulated myself for years hahaha!"

"Just when will life change?"

"Now..." Arthur looked at Clari's eyes and smiled. They were still both laying on the ground.

"I wanna look away..."

"Well I liked seeing your red ears and cheeks."

Clari turned her face from embarassment.

"Hahaha!"

It has been hours since the two talked and Arthur was actually happy.

He let off so much emotion after a while that it felt better than anything he has done in this world.

'Funny, how something I had in my past was the best experience I have experienced in a world I always wanted...'

Arthur felt that Clari fell asleep. He didn't mean to kill her anymore, but it wasn't like he always wanted to.

But now, he just has that girl best friend. A friend so close he will make this world and every reader say. 'Man I can't hear the sentence. 'A man and a woman are friends?Nah you lyin!'. That would be so funny.'

But Arthur was of course not removing the thought of her liking him, but he already experienced rejection, he once again went back to his past.

He had now lost his confidence from a single rejection. Oh how you sound so weak, it was just one re- 'You know what. You are ri-'.

After some pondering Arthur did one last sneaky move.

Arthur got closer to the sleeping Clari and hugged her from behind.

'*Whimper'. Though he failed to remember, she was still one of the 9 demon kings. So Clari whimpered in her mind.

***

"Did you send someone to watch Arthur?"

"No..."

"What if he's in danger!"

"He won't." Kraul waved his hands and continued his work.

"What?! It's the 3rd Demon King! No one has ever resisted her beauty!"

"The 2nd Demon King did, yk..."

"He's blind!". Seves threw a book at Kraul's face.

"Ow! Well the 1st Demon King didn't!"

"He's not alive!".

"My point still works."

"How! You idiot! I'll go to the west immediately." Seves immediately made his way to the door.

"Stop right there seves.". Said by Kraul at a domineering tone.

"But-".

"I believe he can do it, I don't know how, but I know."

"I guess your guts never failed anyone.". Seves left the room.

"Ayayay, Arthur, it's been 20 days, where are you.". Kraul smacked his head to his desk and sighed.

***

"So this is why you went here?"

"Yes."

Inside the mountain in a vast cave. There existed a huge lake that had a hot and warm temperature. A place that could just be called in a different way. Like... a spa...

"You killed everyone for this?!"

"Of course!". Clari was obviously not an innocent child. As someone wjo has killed since she was a child. Clari had no no common sense other than killing people could give you whatever you want.

Clari immidiately removed her entire clothing and jumped into the water. "Wait!"

"What?". Naively replied by Clari.

"You are naked!"

"What's wrong with that?". Now it was simple to connect that from her literally having no livkng contact. Or that the world acrually didn't care about that. It was a world that resembles a cult, so technically it msde sense.

But he had absolutely no knowledge about that.

"What do you mean, I am right here?"

"..." Clari just tilted her head. And at that moment Arthur finally gasped.

'Oh my god, how are goblins born!'.

"Oh fine..." Arthur jumped in the water, but he had clothes on. The only reason for that was because he had no signs of male or female. And if he did, it will be too suspicious.

"Yahhh!" Clari got splashed by water as Arthur jumped in the water.

"Hahaha-". Arthur was splashed with water by Clari.

...

The two swam and just relaxed at the water for hours to days. It was an experience Arthur will never forget.

"By the way, didn't you have some guards?"

"Well, don't worry about them, they stay as far as possible from me, and only come when it is important."

"Well nice, guess I can keep doing this without anyone seeing."

"Mmmmm" Clari pushed Arthur away. "I told you I don't like that! I'm already trying to not get addicted to it."

"Hahahaha!"

...

Arthur submerged in the water as he had the ability to actually not breath in water. Well you know what I mean by that.

As Arthur left Clari on top of the water relaxing. Arthur went deeper in the cave and found a hole that directed in the deeper part of the cave.

"Making her naked makes this entire thing so suspicious hahahahaha."

Shut up.

And like a hidden entrance. As Arthur went in to the small hole, Arthur had no choice but to go up as it had no other way deeper.

"Uwah!" Arthur breath air as soon as he went out of the water. "Feels good to reach for air when you don't breath.".

In a small cave as a part of a small passageway, laid a mysterious chest. "So this is the plot device he invented to make this chapter not be named useless ag-"

Arthur completely went out of the water and reached for the chest. And surprisingly there were traps.

Metal blades came out of the ground as soon as Arthur touched the chest.

[You Have Died.]

"Welp that is useless, oh and now i'm remembering how many times I had to spend an hour just to not get stack killed by Clari!"

That was certainly a missed opportunity for words. "But it came in handy now-"

Arthur didn't need to remove the penalty right now as he could just dig the ground and remove the blades.

And so Arthur dugged to ground by using dragon scales as a shovel. "These are some really useful shovels hahaha."

But as much as Arthur dug, there were no blades at all. To the point where he dug so much much even the chest already moved.

And as Arthur tried to open the chest again, a blade came out of the ground. But thankfully he was ready and was able to dodge.

Arthur touched the chest once again, and everything repeated.

He didn't know where, but every time Arthur touched the chest, a blade will come out of the ground.

And Arthur was very excited to see this concept. It was definitely a sign of magic.

"I'll get you, you fucking chest!"

Arthur tried. He tried many times. He tried way too many times and in the end only one thing resulted in a succes.

"Fine, i'll learn magic another time."

Arthur destroyed the chest, and in the end it was nothing but an empty chest. When Arthur touched the chest again, no more blade came out.

"Well... that sucks."

But the entire endeavor was not completely useless.

"What is this..." As Arthur found another hidden entrance.

It was from the countless deep holes he had dug.

And under there was an entrance, and entrance to some place that exuded light.

"A light in the underground... that could only mean the hollow EARTH!"

'Last Draw!'

Ghe entrie mountain shook and the water slurged outward making an entire hole with no water in it.

But soon the water got back and the entire place was now being flooded with water.

"Oh my god! Treasure!"

The entrie underground was a treasure vault. With gold around the floor that was used as a flooring itself. Swords hanging on the wall, that was so tempting it did tempt him.

"Free money!"

And with the overpowered ability of an inventory. It truly shows its power when you need the "instant theft."

Arthur placed the entire golden flooring to his inventory. And it may have been out of panic from the water falling down, or an actual brain problem.

Arthur placed everything in his inventory. Including the pillars and doors.

With many accessories now in his inventory he went outside the treasury and looked at where he was at.

With his adrenaline driving him completely insane. Arthur had only one way of going around the hallways.

And that was to not open the doors but just putting them in his inventory.

Arthur entered an entire smithy room and he just gathered everything and placed them in his inventory.

Next was probably the only farm he has ever seen in the world. As the goblins didn't know how vegetation was.

Then another one was a place that was probably an alchemy rolm filled with various potions and herbs, minerals, and colored gems.

After reaching the ending. It was like he was in a movie in the ending scene of a blowing helicopter. Arthur jumped into the water that has reached him and he swam.

Arthur swam fast and even flipping around.

Arthur has truly entered a wild state of mind.

Arthur went through the same hole he went through before. And now as he was swimming straight to the top he moved so fast that in the end.

At the point he exited the water, at the top he flew like a dolphin presenting in a circus show.

"Oh yeah!"

"What?"
