Hey chapter 20 is here!

I'm late by 4 hours... really sorry about that....

The story end up longer than I thought...

Please enjoy (^_^)/

=========================================

While holding each other’s arm, two young girls appeared to be excited at the sight of a big marketplace. Both girls screamed in sync.

"Shopping!"

Both girls had the exact same face, long, dark brown hair tied into twin-tails; strong willed, light brown eyes; pinkish, small lips and a small body. Contrary to their cute appearance though, both girls were wearing light leather armor and one owned a big battle hammer while the other was carrying a big battle axe. Although they looked childish, people can tell that they are experienced adventurers.

"Its a rare blue iron, Parika!"(???)

The first girl with red clothes scrreamed as she run toward the other girl while showing blue colored rock.

"This one is liquid from silver slime, Perika!"(???)

Her twin wearing light brown clothes screamed while showing a bottle full of silver liquid with her eyes sparkling

The girl in red clothes is [Perika Winlterwod] while the girl in light brown clothes is [Parika Winlterwod], those twins come from a traveling dwarf family. They like to travel around to find materials, rare weapons and rare armors

Both girls shivered with blissful faces, and screamed once again, almost in sync.

"I want to make weapons!"(Perika)

Perika was shivering in anticipation and Parika looked no less excited.

"I want to make armors!"(Parika)

Then, looking at person behind them with pleading eyes.

"Can we buy this?!"(Perika&Parika)

"No"(???)

A young beastkin boy answered without hesitation as he already used to the girls’ antics.

"Yeah right! Rather than buying that, we better buy those fresh meat! They have the rare rainbow scullen fish here! They can only be found at Tranac sea! Its only five siver coin a piece!"(???)

This time a young boy with dark brown hair, sharp green eyes and also wearing leather armor showing his group a big ugly fish with rainbow colored fin.

"No"(???)

Once again the young beastkin answered curtly.

"Hey! This materials are more important than that ugly fish!"(Parika)

"Yea! Without armor and weapon, you can't fight against the monsters properly!"(Perika)

"Without delicious food, you guys won't have energy to fight! Food are sources of life!"(???)

"Without a better weapon, you can't hunt better ingredients and materials!"(Perika&Parika)

"Without food, you two won't last to go to hunt!"(???)

"Weapon and armor are more important, right Crev?!"(Parika&Perika)

"No way! Crev, you also like cooking, of course you realize that foods are more important!"(???)

The young beastkin was surprised because suddenly they all looked in his direction.

"You do realize that I'm just a child right? It isn’t mature of you guys to involve me in this childish fight."(Crev)

"We're not gonna maintain your weapon and armor again until you admit weapon and armor are more important!"(Perika&Parika)

"Then I won't cook any food for you two until you admit food are more important!"(???)

Both side kept arguing causing a ruckus in the market. Noticing that they were attracting people’s attention, the young beastkin became agitated.

"Ugh...Lila! Kena! Please stop them!"(Crev)

With a single step foward, a bird-race woman cleared her throat and open her mouth.

"We do not have any money except for the inn"(Kena)

Her words immediately stopped the fight.

"Uh...um...most of our budget are run out for materials and ingredients in the last town....now we barely can pay the inn"(Lila)

"You guys do know whose fault it is, right?"(Kena)

The bird woman said slowly, fists on her hips as she was facing the three chatterboxes.

With a sweet smile and poisonous atmosphere, even an idiot would understand what would come next

A long sermon from Kena.

The sky was getting dark, the little group paid for room at the inn and Kena is continued her scolding toward the three people in her room.

"Lila, I'm going to go back to my room now"(Crev)

"Ah, yes of course, good night Ru- I mean Crev!"(Lila)

‘Crev’ left the room as he heard the muffled groans that the three scolded people leaked out under their breath.

------------------------------------------------------------

Kena’s sermon turned out to be deadly! Lucky me to get out from that room!

I'm just turning seven today. At this moment, I'm in Derulia city, the edge of beast continent. From here, we will take a ship to sail towards the North continent.

The North contintent located across the sea from the beast continent. Since I'm going to walk across beast continent, as a precaution, Shena put some 'magic tool for disguise'-thingy on me. Although I say a 'magic tool for disguise', its actually just some 'voice wave disruption' tool, it allow the wearer to adjust their voice to some extent, and because its only prototype product, this tool can only give out a monotone voice.

I'm using a young boy voice, similiar to my old voice in my other childhood and I'm also wearing boy's clothes to make me looked more like a boy, thanks to my undeveloped body, I look like a small boy with frail body.

Why taking so long and still not reaching my destination you ask?

It took 2 years before Shena sent me to the North continent, for 2 years, she trained me personally.

It was Spartan! N-no, it's Tyrant! Well, it simply was that kind of training! Merciless! She's merciless!

This is what happened 2 years ago, a few months after departing with Kiel,

"So, why are you bringing me into this hollow cave? Its pretty big....just like a battle arena...oh! Are you gonna train me here?!"(Rune)

"Yes"(Shena)

Whenever she trained me for magic or a combat, she would bring me to training ground, so for her to bring me outside means...

"I'm going to summons some beast for your training today"(Shena)

So today we will increase my level! Oh I'm so exited!

"Well, good luck"(Shena)

Along with her words, Shena push me inside the hollow cave.

"Eeeekk!"(Rune)

It's big and high, if it isn't for [Move of The Beast] skill, I would be dead from the fall. As I push the cave wall with my legs, I do some flip in the air and land safely....well, my feet hurt so bad because of the landing but apart from that I'm good.

This skill are so awesome!

"Hey! Why are yo-"(Rune)

Just when I'm about to protest about the sudden push, magic circles or maybe summoning circles? I have never seen one before, but you know what I mean!

Dozens of them suddenly appeared on the cave's floor and wall.

"You can only get out from this cave after you kill them all"(Shena)

I swear at that time she sounds like a demon from hell as she screamed from above.

After that, from each of magic circle, wyverns appear slowly.

ARE YOU CRAZY?!

No person in their right mind would left a five years old in the monster's den, alone! Especially a wyvren!

"Don't worry Rune, those were white hills wyvern, its the weakest sepecies of wyvern"(Shena)

I don't care if they're the weakest or not! Wyvern is still a wyvern! The weakest of them are level 18 ! I'm just a five year old child and still level 9! AND I'M SURROUNDED BY THEM!

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! You demmoonn!"(Rune)

I scream at her while running for my dear life.

She's gonna save me right?! Right?! No way she's letting me to be killed here right?!

"Now,now, Rune, Arke is a demon, I'm just a simple human"(Shena)

Shena answering me with amused voice tone while doing her paper work near the cave enterance.

"Don't worry, if you lost limb or two, I will replace them......with something...."(Shena)

What do you mean by 'something'?! You're kidding right?! Right?! Riigghhtt?!

"Maybe I can use necromancy to revive you...as an undead"(Shena)

Her eyes! Those eyes! she's not kiddinnggg!!! Aaaaaaa!!!!

She is incarnation of Sat○n! Demon of all demon! Even demon in this world are kinder than her!

As the weeks passed, I manage to kill several wyverns and my level increase drastically.

Muahahahaha! Feel my power wyvern! I'm stronger than you now!

The narrative has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the infringement.

When I have that kind of thought, Shena would summons several stronger wyvern....

Eeeekkkkk! I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm sorry for getting full of myyyssseeellllfff!

It would always end up like that.......

There are many times when I thought I would die again.

I even get a new title because of it....

[Dragon's Nest Survivor]After life and death battle with thousands of dragon's family in certain period of time, survivor will granted with this title. Due to this title, dragon species will feel more intimidated to fight you

At least this title will probably be useful in the future.....

Well, more or less, that's what happend....

Uehhh....it giving me a shiver whenever I remembering that incident...

Now, without Kiel doll, I will end up with wyvern nightmare.... I hate wyvern the most! The moment I saw them, I have the urge to blow them up!

Ah! I better call Kiel now or she will get sulky...

<..uh..yeah, you just take your eyes for moment and the spend most of the money for their own wish....>

<....want me to sent you some money? I will sent them with Nercop delivery serv->

<......okay then..if you say so....>

Somehow she sounds a little bit dispirited, lets change the topic here!

Hey! Hey! Hey! There is one disturbing study topic! What do you mean by 'toturing'?!

<.....can you repeat once more?>

It's gone?!

Really?

Ack! Now I'm getting sermon from Kiel.....

The next morning, our group went directly to the adventurer’s guild to take some requests.

Like usual, to obtain fast money, we divide our group into three.

Kena and Lila will do helping society related requests.

Parika and Perika will do mining related requests.

While me and Mark will do gathering and hunting related requests.

Well, you know Mark, the guy who was fighting with Parika and Perika yesterday.

[Mark Louveck], our guide to North continent. Unlike Kena and Lila who stay in headquarters, Mark tends to wander to various places. From the common to the most dangerous places, only to gather fresh ingredients. Right, fresh ingredient for his cuisine!

From our short time adventuring together, I noticed that he's a gourmet, a cook, and an adventurer all in one. He would only cook using fresh ingredients which he caught by his own hand. This is the reason why our journey took a long turn; he was always stopping if there was any monsters catching his interest and wouldn't stop until he caught it!

Mark’s passion for cooking isn’t just for show; the food he makes is awfully delicious! In this world, food is mostly tasteless because spices are expensive and it’s limited to salt and sugar. As for Mark's dishes, he generally uses more than six different spices. With Shena’s knowledge and spices from Syl, Mark became Shena's disciple. He can cook many western and little bit of eastern recipes. As a person who's always cooked for my sister in my previous life, I often exchanged recipes with Mark, my recipes are mostly dessert or eastern course.

Although some of the ingredients are different, the taste is still the same as the ones on earth. Thanks for Mark's trial and error in finding the right ingredient for the recipes.

To taste this kind of food in this world......I'm shedding tears of gratitude while eating them.

I like Mark's cooking and his personality isn't bad, but there is something about him that bothers me.

Firstly, he is often looking at empty spaces, corner of the room or empty hallway. There's one time he asked me if there was something odd.

"Crev, who's that girl?"

He pointed his finger as if he was seeing something or someone behind me.

"Huh? What girl?"

There's nothing behind me, no one else at the hall way except me and him. As he came to a realization.

".........ah, no, never mind"

And got back to his room.

Hey, Hey, Hey! What do you mean 'never mind'?! What's behind me?! How can he leave me with a disturbing conversation and end it up just like that?! Come back here and say 'oh, I'm sorry, it must be just my imagination' or something! Now I can't sleep anymore!

As much as I feel disgraced by doing this,  I'm perforce to sleep in the same room as Lila and Kena which was still end up as sleepless night! There's no way I'm able to sleep alone after that!

Secondly, he named every single one of his cooking tools

"You're looking sharp as always Martha(?)~"

"You shining as beautifull as the sun, Sari(?)"

"Let's we dismanting this meat together, Yasly(?)"

"I'll make you shine today as well, Hellena(?)~"

That kind conversation each time he cooks or sharpen his knife collection.

Totally creepy!

Ah, but Perika and Parika aren't much different from Mark! They also name each and every one of their creation and cry amazingly whenever it is sold....

"Here is your card, I've put the request description in it. Please report to me once you finish the job"

The receptionist lady handed me my adventure card. In the card written [Rune Crevalance] or Crev for my nick name.

Why I'm not faking my name?

I can't fake my name since I have to register myself in adventure guild. The staff-oneechan can see thru my lies with [Analizing Eyes]. The punishment for giving fake information are severe you know, you might never be able to show yourself in society ever again. Rather than faking my name, it easier for me to using my 'adulthood name' as my nickname. I also can hide my name and just show my nick name instead at the card, isn't that neat.

"Crev, what are you grinning for?"(Mark)

"Oh, I'm sorry, I just a bit exicted! This is the first time I gone venturing a dungeon!"(Crev)

"Eh? Really? I thought you used to venturing dungeon, I mean, your level is pretty high"(Mark)

"....ah....yes....that because I've seen hell....ugh...wyvern...."(Crev)

"..wyvern?"(Mark)

"Uh....just forget about it! What are we suppose to hunt again?"(Crev)

"It's adult altractian spider's leg, we need 20 of them. Lets hunt our dinner while we at it"(Mark)

"Okay"(Crev)

Just like that, I'm entering my first dungeon.

A few hours later, I'm stuck with these two kid...

In front of me, two young beastkin are looking at me with sparkling eyes. Mark is handing the criminals to the guard, while the others still not back yet.

What should I do here?!

Why are they following me?! S-shooo! Shoo! Go over there! There!

T-they're still looking at me!

Since they're taller than me, I get a very weird feeling from the way they looked at me.

I'm being surrounded!

Mark! Lila, Pirika or anyone! Hurry up get back here!
