Chapter 96: Gift from Earth dungeon part 1

So that actually happened...

I'm pissed. Can't they just leave those kids to live their lives like other children. Logically speaking, I can understand that one wanted to "talk" to those hurting the person they're closest to, but I'm sure this isn't the case here. Most probably, they wanted to use Rean as a bait to ultimately make me succumb to them.

That being the case

"Good job Rean, on taking down the sphinx. Guess you really are more than qualified to become an adventure now" [Ash]

"Really!" [Rean]

"Mark my words" [Ash]

As I said that, I lightly tap his shoulder. I couldn't be much more prouder right now. Rean really are taking his step into adulthood. Oh god, manly tear was shed here...

"!" [Ash]

"Brother Ash?" [Rean]

"Is something wrong?" [Elise]

"Rean...!" [Ash]

"Ash, you're acting strange" [Haliza]

Did his blessings awaken... Is it when he was fighting against the sphinx? That seem to be the case here. Then, the reason those priests come to the mansion would be...

(You should search for the crystal like this at the gift from earth dungeon. That way, we can mask Rean's blessing) [Diana]

(You!) [Ash]

So Diana also realized the same. Then, I should consider that Jacks and Qis also knew about it. Rean doesn't seem to be aware of it though, should I tell him? No, most importantly

(Got it. I must say, that crystal of your really do wonder to mask your blessings. It is better than the Rafiah's having) [Ash]

(I know you have notice it. We should talk about this at night) [Diana]

(Understood) [Ash]

"What are you two whispering about?" [Haliza]

"About how a certain princess in this country have been bullying me to no end" [Ash]

"Poor Ash" [Diana]

"Suspicious..." [Haliza]

(...) [Rean]

Well, that being said, I have two things to do now. First, I have to map out the section of the underground passage that were discovered, and second, to find the crystal that can mask Rean's blessing straight away. I should prioritize searching for the crystal now, and map the tunnel later at night. Plus, I can also search for the portal stone at night since the other can't seem to find even one of it

"Alright! Let us all go and have a picnic at the dungeon! All of you will come!" [Ash]

"Really!" [Cat girl]

"Yup! Kanji, Rean, both of you get prepared now. I'll test your skills as to get better understanding of them. That way, you can improve it before becoming an adventure" [Ash]

""Yes!!"" [Rean, Kanji]

"What about us?" [Elise]

"As usual. Seo Ah, Elise, please make sure they behave inside the bus golem" [Ash]

""On it"" [Seo Ah, Elise]

Apparently, Ram borrow my bus golem to drive here from Estel (bringing the other along with him). Good, I can use the bus golem and the camper van golem as a mean of transportation here. They're around 45 plus of us, so it is a big number. That said, this is like a big family day for us, and as such, I tell them I will buy some food and drink first before all of us heading out. Mira and Kana accompany me for that

It's noon, and the sun show no sign of stopping it heat. Luckily, both the bus golem and camper van golem are equipped with something similar to an air conditioner. Not only that, I have stock them with large varieties of drinks and sweets, freeze inside the freezer, so that way they can just grab one of it anytime they wanted to. I have Kanji drive the bus golem as he seems to take an interest in it. Both golems can act autonomously, so there shouldn't be a problem even if there aren't anyone behind the steering wheel, but it's better to have one than to have none.

Like the first time I use the bus golem, the people at Estel can't help but to keep on staring at it. I do remember that the neighborhood kids constantly pestering me as to letting them enter. Now, they're used to it and whenever they see the golem, they knew who is inside. Now, the people of Malsia give the same stare as the people of Estel use to give.

.

And we have arrived, I parked both the bus golem and the camper van golem inside my item box. With all of us here, it can't be helped that we felt a little bit crowded. So, to ease things up, we divided them into a group of ten, with each adult taking care approximately 10 children. As for me, I oversee all of them by using my scan magic all the time. That way, I can quickly tell should any one of them stray away.

"Overprotective aren't you" [Mira]

"Better than having to search for them inside this big dungeon" [Ash]

"True" [Mira]

The kids are excited. They can't help but to rush straight inside the dungeon

"Don't run too far!" [Kana]

"Hey! Where's your line!" [Thug D]

"What? You sprain your ankle?" [Thug F]

"Yes..." [Elf boy]

"Here, let me help" [Farhah]

"I can help as well" [Kara]

"Good luck!" [Mara]

"That should be a good healing magic practice" [Elise]

"You guys can use healing magic?" [Kanji]

"Brother Ash thought us all. Plus, we can use chantless magic just like him" [Zerolith]

"Teach us more!" [Cat boy]

"It's not fair!" [Cat girl]

"Yes, yes. I will." [Ash]

"So many" [Guard A]

"And isn't that!" [Guard B]

"Princess Nurhaliza! What are doing here!?" [Guard C]

"Is she sneaking out again!" [Guard A]

"Quick! Informed the castle!" [Guard C]

"On it!" [Guard B]

"How rude! I'm just here to have my magic practice with the Behemoth Slayer here!" [Haliza]

"""Really...???""" [Guard A, B, C]

"Really!" [Haliza]

"She's lying" [Ash]

"""!!!!""" [Guards]

"Ash. Don't make them becoming even more suspicious towards me!" [Haliza]

"Can you blame them though. You always sneak out of the castle" [Mira]

"Honestly. You are a princess, so please act appropriately" [Diana]

"Looks whose talking!" [Haliza]

"Well, shall we move on first? We are blocking the traffic" [Qis]

"Agree" [Thug A]

"I wonder how this dungeon will look like" [Karon]

"Karon, let us move first" [Savel]

"Yeah, if not, you will be left behind" [Singa]

"Ehh! Karon will be left behind!" [Charlotte]

"Don't worry. I won't" [Karon]

"He won't. That say, all of you please form one straight line. We should ease the guard jobs here" [Rean]

"As Rean say. That applies to all of you as well" [Elise]

"Yes!" [Kids]

"You are natural at this kind of thing" [Seo Ah]

"Thank you" [Elise]

"Let just not waste any more time, shall we?" [Ash]

"I have finished treating him!" [Farhah]

"Amazing, it doesn't hurt anymore!" [Elf boy]

"Such talent" [Thug F]

"Yup, everything alright. Good job Farhah" [Ash]

"Thanks!" [Farhah]

"Alright. We don't want the guard to keep on waiting, don't we." [Kana]

"Sorry Mr Guard" [Kids]

"Haha, no problems" [Guards]

It takes quite some time, but now, all of us are inside the gift from earth dungeon
