10 minutes later, It semed like the tension in the room has slowly started to cool down. Senko was on a bed sorting his inventory, Haruka was looking out the window and Kana was adjusting her Avatar’s bunny ear colors and pattern trying to look cute.
“It seems they finally cooled down.” I thought to myself while sitting in the corner.
The lost I had today was big, a lot of items from my inventory was looted after I died, I lost half of my goru, stacks of food I prepared in advance and raw materials I could’ve used for upgrades.
As much as I wanted to keep sulking in my defeat, that would just waste me and my friends’ time.
“All of you get ready.” I commanded.
“Hm?” Kana looked up.
“Yes buddy?” Senko turned his ui off.
“What’s wrong Yuuki?” Haruka questioned me.
“I’m done sulking, let’s head out of town, I need another armor repair and let’s go explore the wilderness.” I got up, stretched and got out from the corner and started walking to the door.
All 3 of them smiled, gave me a knowing nod as we checked out of the inn and went to town to repair my gear in town.
“It feels nostalgic…” I mentioned
“How come?” Haruka asked while Senko and Kana looked at me.
“You see, the last time us 3 all walked together aside from when the game came out, was during the mountain hiking trip We did last Christmas.”
“You mean the time, all 3 of you collapsed for being weak!? And I carried everyone up and down the mountain- Agghh!!!” Kana joked smugly before Senko hit the back of her head.
“Don’t ruin the moment sis.” Senko smacked the back of Kana’s head.
“Is there ever a moment where those 2 not fight?” Haruka asked.
“Nope, and I would like for it to stay that way.”
If you spot this story on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.
I had my “reinforded leather” gear repaired from the blacksmith, and We quickly crossed the town’s stone bridge and headed into the wilderness. This time, Instead of heading to “Gentle expanse” like the first time, We instead walked further down the trails and went to a nearby fields called “Meadow Mosaic”
Despite being directly next “Gentle Expanse,” “Meadow Mosaic” Is actually quite far from the expanse by around 2.5 Kilometers, Yes our group walked the whole distance.
We entertained ourselves by taking pictures of the landscapes and dinosaurs on the trails, some included the sauropods; Apatosaurus, Massopondylus, and Barapasaurus which were grazing on trees and branches, other dinosaurs were Ceratopsians: that included the dinosaurs; Pachyrhinosaurus and Centrosaurus and lastly a flock of ostrich-like dinosaurs called Gallimimus that ran past us.
We even started catching some fish and crabs on the nearby rivers, picked some fruits from the trees and started racing each other, It was almost like we were back in gradeschool. This was definitely a mini field trip.
After a short while of travelling we finally arrived at Meadow Mosaic.
“Here we are, alright what’s the game plan to hunt the “Herrerasaurus” Yuuki?” Senko crossed his arms.
“The P-Plan…?” I stuttered.
“Yeah, you are the leader here right?” Haruka twirled her hair.
“. . . . .” What do I say to that?
“What’s wrong?” Kana asked while latching on to my back.
“It’s nothing, just got lost in thought.” I muttered.
They were right, I was the one that initiated this new “Mission” that we’re taking part in. Meaning I had to take the calls to action starting this day onwards.
“Alright here’s the plan, If you checked our commission description it said that there seems to be an infestation of a rather small carnivore, the “Herrerasaurus.” I announced.
“This is definitely a step up from the dryosaurus and parkosaurus we hunted down a while ago.” Senko mentioned while reading the commission on his ui.
“I’m kinda feeling nervous about this Yuuki, are you sure we’re up for this?” Kana asked shyly.
“Yes, all of you are ready, We’re not gonna split up like last time this time we’re covering each other’s backs because this dinosaur wasn’t a joke whatsoever.
Herrerasaurus is a genus of theropod dinosaur that originated from Late Triassic South America. One of the earliest dinosaurs that ever lived, it is discovered at the Ischigualasto formation. It stood at 3.6 feet, 14.8 feet in length and weighed 440.9lbs, This dinosaur was basically a large pitbull-sized turkey.

It was some of the earliest and one of the largest known carnivorous dinosaurs in it’s formation, dating back all the way to the Late Triassic period.
Herrerasaurus is a relatively medium-sized, stocky, and powerfully built carnivore, measuring around 4.5 meters in length and 200kg in weight. This dinosaur had a flexible jaw that allowed it to grip onto its prey. Based on its size, with a light frame that allow it to run very quickly and large, jagged teeth that help it to latch onto prey, Herrerasaurus likely hunted small and medium herbivores.

Fossil evidence suggests that this dinosaur was capable of digesting bone. Unlike the other species of small carnivores except for Compsognathus, Herrerasaurus locks its jaws on small prey and then uses its body momentum to wrestle it to the ground, essentially pinning and tiring them down.
Herrerasaurus is a relatively social dinosaur, preferring social groups of between one and five individuals, as well as a population of up to twenty two other dinosaurs.
“Yuuki, you didn’t purposely chose a hard bounty now did you?” Haruka asked.
“This bounty is rated as easy-medium, this difficulty should be decent for us since the Herrerasaurus levels were only around level 9-16 at the most.” I responded.
“I’ll be counting on you then Yuuki.” Haruka winked.
“Right, I’ll be sure to guide us to victory-” I responded until I saw Kana pouting at me with a red face.
“Hm…..” Kana seemed like she has something to say.
“What’s wrong Kana?” Haruka asked.
“Nothing. I’ll just be sure to hunt the most dinosaurs out of everyone here!” She announced proudly.
“How confident you are little sis.” Senko joked.
“What you say to me!?” Kana tried to hit Senko a few times to which everyone shared a laugh together.
