Chapter 7

When Yuu awoke, he realized that he honestly had no idea how long he was asleep, two things that he knew. One, Mio was sleeping on his lap. Two, Clorevica smiling at him and she swung a bucket full of cold water at them.

As the freezing water touched Mio skin, she instantly opened her eyes as wide as she could and raising her head up. In the process her head met with Yuu's chin, making a very loud sound as they met. As she was holding her head in pain, she realized she was fell asleep on top of Yuu's lap and immediately a dice fell, showing a number four. Then she turned into a raptor, running away from Yuu side, hitting Yuu's face with her tail in the process.

"Roarr!!" Roaring, Mio glared and jumped at Yuu, trying to bite him without a clear reason.

"Are you sure you two aren't a comedian couple?" Clorevica commented at the slapstick that just happened in front of her face.

Although not receiving a pleasant morning, at least for Yuu. The dawn proceeded as usual, with breakfast consisted of rainbow-colored nuts and banana-shaped apple. And from out of nowhere, a surprising thing came out from Clorevica's mouth. "Oi, after breakfast, come with me."

Clorevica was not joking around. Immediately after she finished her breakfast, she grabbed her bow and leaped out of the tree house. Mio immediately turned into a raptor again while Yuu without hesitation riding her back, they proceeded outside to follow Clorevica path,

After a few hours of running and switching, they noticed that there wasn't any monster near them. which made them feel better. Soon, Clorevica stopped and waiting for both of them this time.

"What do you guys think of that?" Said Clorevica as she pointed toward the moving trees.

The Treant, although this time it was equipped with a wooden spiky club, bigger than before and a wooden shield. Slowly the surrounding smaller tree began to move, which made both of Yuu and Mio nervous, but somehow Mio figured they could handle it, at least the moving tree. The trees hooted to each other, pointing at the big Treant, and the smallest tree ran to the Treant. When the Treant grabbed it, the smaller Tree turned into a stake and the Treant started to put it inside of its body.

"...It's eating? No, it makes a weapon?" Yuu was still remembering the difference between the first time he met the said Treant and right now. Although he wasn't sure that it was the same said Treant.

"Not bad. So... do you think your artifact could burn the Treant?" Asked Clorevica as she showed Yuu his lighter.

"...First, that isn't an artifact, it just a lighter, a fucking tiny lighter. Second, if you want to burn it down wouldn't a torch is better than a tiny flame?"

"Duh, of course I already tried that, the torch, the flaming arrow, burning the trees but the Treant always used its water magic to turn off the fire. Artifact or not, what I need right now is something that can produce fire anytime I want it." This was the longest line both of Yuu and Mio ever heard from Clorevica,

"E..ehm... Clorevica, you're also a wizard, right? Um... why do-"

"Nope, I don't have fire magic." Said Clorevica, cutting through Mio sentence.

"Then... why don't you wait for someone that could use a fire magic?" Yuu titled his head and raised an eyebrow when he asked this.

This story is posted elsewhere by the author. Help them out by reading the authentic version.

"Duh, and sharing the bounty with some stranger? Look at that Treant size, that is definitely a raid boss."

Although confused, Yuu still managed to grasp some of Clorevica words. Some facts that he gained was the Treant wasn't supposed to be that big and Clorevica was a greedy one, unlike the graceful elf he usually saw on movies.

"U..um... Clorevica, if I'm not wrong a raid boss supposed to be defeated by a lot of people right?"

As Mio hearing the word 'Raid boss'; sharing her gaming knowledge and asking Clorevica. Clorevica stared at them, put a big grin on her face and touched Yuu's shoulder. "Ah, here's my party."

Yuu put a face as he had just drunk a very sour lemonade when he saw Clorevica grinning face, ignoring her word, Yuu began to carry Mio away from Clorevica, though this time Mio whispering to his ear. "E...erm... Yuu... why don't we help her?"

"Oh? You want to help her?" As Yuu carefully dropped Mio to the ground.

"E...eh...No...I mean both of us... she is giving us a shelter and a food right? Moreover... if something happened to her, we will lose our guide to the city... right?"

Yuu stopped for a moment when he heard Mio's reasoning, although this time without hesitation Yuu dropped Mio.

"E..Eh!! Ho-" Mio shouted and Yuu immediately closing her mouth.

The trio face was pale when a big shadow suddenly covering the sunlight, as they looked up, the Treant already raised its arm, readied to swing its spiky club anytime soon. As both of Mio and Cloverica rolling their dice showing 4 and 36, one was turning into a raptor and running away. The one was shooting a rope arrow to the nearby tree that pulled her body.

The only one left was Yuu hooping side to side. Yuu shouted "Mio! You mo- Gah!! Oi! Help me!!"

As Mio stopped running and turning back to Yuu, Cloverica leaped at her back and shouted. "Ah... let me check our schedule, lunch at 12, dinner at 8. Hm~ I don't see helping a stranger at my schedule."

After 1 minute which felt like an eternity. "Goddamnit! Yes! I'll help you! Just help me run away!"

Smiling, Cloverica nocked an arrow, as she said "Knockback Arrow" Three d6 dices were rolling, showing a number totaled in 7. "Crap!" Shouted Cloverica as she shot her arrow and saw the result. The arrow hit right at the Treant body, its body weight made it only get pushed for about two meters, less than the supposed value.

Though it was enough for Yuu to escape from the Treant attack range, As Yuu ran and leaped toward Mio in her raptor form, he managed to grab her tail. Surprised, Mio roared and ran away from the Treant location.

As they completely fleed away and Mio turned back to her human form. While Yuu began to carry her again, this time on his back, Mio began to pull his hair and hitting him. "Stupid! Insensitive! How dare you! Stupid!"

Confused Yuu protested at her while looking to Clorevica. As she did a very bad acting, pretending she had just realized and speaking in a monotone voice. "Ah~ I heard when someone transformed into a creature with a tail, their tail sometimes becomes their most sensitive part. maybe her ass or something else."

" C..Clorevica! ...please... don't say that..."
