Toya suddenly said [Oh yeah! I can finally afford the Mithril Sword!]. Mel-san and Senia-san were both happy as well.
That would have been dangerous. I almost said, [Don’t worry about it].
Jade-san’s response is the response of a normal adventurer. It’s normal to receive a reward for what you’ve done.
If I was the only one who came here, I might have turned down the reward by saying, [Don’t worry about it] or [There was only a monster in my path] or something like that.
Anyway, I almost refused everyone’s additional reward.
[So I heard that a big scorpion appeared in the underground of the pyramid and there was something inside its body, is that true? Uragan-san and his colleagues have told me to listen to the details when you returned.] Balima
He anxiously asked us.
Uragan and his crew’s information was only to the extent of what they heard from Jade-san’s party, so he has no choice but to ask us.
[Father, it’s true. But it’s okay now. The big Scorpion was defeated by Yuna-san and the crystal plate was recovered.] Karina
Karina took the crystal plate out of the item bag and gave it to Balima-san. He looks very happy when he received the crystal plate.
[That’s good. That is really good. Thank you everyone.] Balima
[Even if you say that, it’s Yuna-chan who defeated it alone.] Mel
[We’re not very useful in that fight.] Senia
When Balima-san thanked everyone, Mel-san and the others answered honestly. You don’t have to say that. Mel-san and the others were very helpful to me.
Karina seemed to notice and gave her support.
[It’s not like that. It’s true that Yuna-san defeated the Scorpions, but Mel-san and Senia-san protected me on both sides. Toya-san protected me from behind. Jade-san defeated the monsters that appeared in the front. With everyone’s help, I was able to go to the underground of the pyramid with a peace of mind.] Karina
[Fufu, thank you Karina-chan. It made me happy when you said that.] Mel
[It’s exactly what Karina says It was because of everyone’s help. I would like to thank everyone again. Thank you. We will prepare a small feast for dinner, so please eat with us.] Balima
[Oh yeah!] Toya
Toya is very happy.
Mel-san elbowed Toya’s side.
[Thank you.] Mel
Mel-san expressed gratitude on behalf of everyone.
[Then, please take a rest before the meal.] Balima
Jade-san and others left the room.
[Karina….] Balima
Finally, when Karina and I tried to leave, Balima-san stoped Karina. Then, he approached her slowly.
[Father?] Karina
[Karina, you should have this.] Balima
[But this is…..] Karina
[I’m sorry Karina, but I’ll need you to go to the Pyramid again.] Balima
Well, that’s true.
Only Karina and her mother, Ristil-san, can use the crystal plate. It’s impossible for Ristil-san, who has a baby in her stomach. So, Karina who can use the power of the crystal plate is needed.
However, what I am concerned about is the possibility that I can also use it.
When I remembered that time at the sacred tree of the Elven Village, I wonder if it could be used by me. However, I can’t give it a try just like that. If the crystal plate reacts to me and it is found that I can use it, it will be very troublesome.
Karina stared at the crystal plate.
Then slowly extend her hand to the crystal plate.
[Father… I understand. You can leave it to me.] Karina
Karina received the crystal plate with great care.
[Yuna-san, I leave my daughter to you.] Balima
Balima-san bowed a little.
We went to the designated room until it’s time for dinner.
Uragan’s party and the other adventurers were there. Each of them was either sitting on a sofa or a chair and relaxing.
One of them was kinda frightened and muttering the bear is back.
Hey, I’m not doing anything, right?
[It looks like you’re back safely.] Uragan
[I have just reported to Balima-san. So Uragan and the others are here.] Yuna
[When I returned to make my report, I was told to rest in this room. So I was asked to go and check on you if you didn’t come back.] Uragan
Certainly, he needed insurance when his daughter didn’t come home.
Uragan’s party who knew the reason were quicker to ask, than going to the Adventurer’s Guild.
