Hilda sighs, retracting her sword qi from her sword along with her mana, letting red just sigh as orange just look irritated.

Now that I think about it, why don't you join us? White asks, clearly not regretting the little trick he just pulled.

Why should I?

You'll be able to gain a good amount of points, and if you're lucky, valuable items too.

Valuable items? Where from?

Stealing.

…

Don't get me wrong, I'm not a bad person-

You are.

Maybe a bit, but it's for revenge, the people on this floor don't take kindly to us who can gain skills from the system.

Really? I met some but they didn't seem too unfriendly.

They probably thought you were just an… eccentric person with your mask.

Is that an insult or compliment?

Compliment?

I'm stupid but not to that extent.

Anyways, moving on, we intend to rob their carriage, it has the daughter of someone important who obviously has good items with them.

Someone important? Who?

How am I supposed to know? They just look rich.

Were you perhaps a bad person on earth?

Nah.

So how are we going to do this?

Simple, well kill the guards, with Aileen using her poison to make it easier and red using her animals to compensate in numbers.

Alright, easy enough.

Hilda follows white, along with the other two as they eventually reach a random cliff, confusing and annoying Hilda.

What's this?

Patience, they'll be here from now till a week at most.

A week? A whole week?

Yea, it's not like we've been able to clear the trials yet anyways.

What? You losers haven't cleared the trials yet?

Watch your mouth! Who are you calling losers?! Orange shouts at Hilda, using some weak poisonous mist on her to no avail as Hilda swings a small weak wave of sword qi at her, dissipating all the gas at once, surprising her.

Anybody else wants to try? Hilda scans them with her eyes, orange knowing she can't win, white obviously not caring about this at all with red still afraid of her.

This book's true home is on another platform. Check it out there for the real experience.

Seriously, I only hurt red a bit, I can't believe you're still so afraid.

I think you're forgetting that you not only used mental magic on her but swung your sword at her, which by itself is already an extremely scary experience. Shila's voice calls it from the back of her head.

Shut it.

Will do.

Screw it, I'm going back to my territory, I'll be back in a while.

Sure, just keep it shirt.

Yea yea whatever, how annoying.

Hilda teleports to her territory, noticing Jamine there immediately.

Hey Jamine! What have you been doing just lying about?

Relaxing, aunt told m-me to stay here.

Aunt? Oh you mean Shila?

Yea.

I honestly thought you would have considered her closer to a sister instead but sure.

Anyways, why did she tell you to stay and relax?

She s-said “Mom is busy, she doesn't need help, stay and s-sleep”.

… She lied.

A-aunt lied? Aunt bad?

Yea, don't randomly believe her.

Sure.

Anyways, I need you to help me okay?

Sure! Either what?

Framing someone, got it?

Yep.

Wait here.

Hilda teleports back, buying a camera at the same time.

Say cheese.

Huh? White and the others look over, confused by what she meant but also a little surprised by her sudden appearance as she teleports back to her territory again, leaving them to keep waiting.

Ok Jamine, here. Hilda passes Jamine the picture she just took, pointing at white.

Can you turn your appearance into him?

Don't wanna.

Why not?

Like this more.

So do I, but if you agree, I'll give you an award later, okay?

Award? What award?

Secret.

O-okay! But you owe me!

Sure sure.

Hilda pats Jasmine's head, pulling away as she morphs into White perfectly annoying her with the sight of his face but also getting satisfied due to Jamine being able to pull it off perfectly, except her voice.

Good girl, or guy?

I don't have a gender, but prefer girl!

Okay then, good girl.

Yay!

Wait here and appear when I tell you to do so okay?

Ok!

Jamine waves Hilda goodbye as she teleports away, back to the three who are just waiting there.

Do you have nothing better to do? Like maybe setting up camp?

Too lazy.

Shila sighs in annoyance, using the tent she bought from the shop before, ignoring the idiots outside as she goes to sleep.

She wakes up next morning to the sound of a carriage far away, only being able to hear them due to Shila using her mana to improve Hilda's hearing as she gets out of the tent, with the waiting for her.

Took out long enough. Hilda ignores orange, keeping her tent in her inventory as she goes over to the edge, the sounds of the carriage getting closer.

So… we jump down?

Whatever floats your boat.

Orange turns into poison mist, traveling downwards with White doing the same but with water as red uses her animal to fly down, bringing it out from her territory.

They all have dramatic entrances huh?

Hilda teleports down to the carriage, killing the oddly strong horses, taking more sword qi and mana than she would have liked for 2 horses as the guards stand up, preparing for a fight but bring weak due to being one of the few lower lifespan species, most of which are weaker.

The other three eventually land, causing the guards to be slaughtered almost instantly as Hilda opens the carriage up, exposing the sight of a 21 year old woman according to the system as Hilda scans her before pulling her by her collar out of the carriage roughly, throwing her onto the floor.

You're a real piece of shit you know right? Shila says, once again from inside her head.

Hey! Don't insult mom!

Jamine, you can talk through here too?

Yea!

Nice.

Everybody!! Take their stuff from the carriage and ditch! White shouts.

Hilda notices some shiny objects in the carriage as she goes in, not expecting much but getting pleasantly surprised as she checks the item with her system as she gets interrupted by the sound of horses.

Who are those?

Those are the bodyguards hired by the family. White says, putting whatever he can into his inventory.

Why are they so far behind?

How am I supposed to know?

…

Jamine, out now, in the appearance I told you! Hilda confuses everyone as she shouts that, with them getting surprised as another person with White's appearance appears.

Stay here, ditch after they see your face.

Sure mom!

Hilda ditches, using her teleportation magic to get back up the cliff, which looks much higher from the bottom in one go as the others chase behind, eventually catching up with red and orange satisfied and white also satisfied but with a tinge of annoyance as he watches down the cliff wt his doppelganger, disappearing as the bodyguards see it's face, revealing his identity completely.

What goes around comes around.

You're petty aren't you?

So? Anyways, I believe that concludes the end of ou

r cooperation now, bye!

Hilda teleports away, not waiting to listen to anything they may have had to say.
