Mika looked at the old man with a confused face.
The man looks like he’s in his late age. However, the old man seems like he still has his beef inside him as can be observed by his well-rounded body and sharp posture. He is holding a long weird-looking stick.
“If I were you, I would move away from that child as soon as I can,” the old man warned.
“Huh?” Mika uttered. But then, she followed the old man’s warning. She stepped away from the girl.
Suddenly, the little girl stood up like a spring. The girl looked at the old man and yelled,
“Damn you, Old Geezer! I almost have her!”
The little girl ran away after that.
Mika was surprised.
“Woah! What just happened!?”
“I told you!” The old man said with a seemingly playful tone. Then, he let out a weird chuckle, “Wo
Mika and Skald stayed inside the Tavern.*cough* *cough*“You don’t look too good,” Mika concernedly said to Skald.“Nah! It’s just a common cough. Would be gone after a day or three. *cough*”“You should rest at least.”Skald replied, “I’ll feel much worse if I lay my body on the bed. This, however...” He raises the mug of beer that he is drinking. “...This will give my body the energy it needs! Haha!”Mika is weirded by Skald’s strange belief. She chose not to persuade him any longer. A short silence happened after that. Later on, Mika decided to speak again; she used the opportunity to ask Skald about the information she heard from the old man.“Skald… What do you know about the Rubbles?”“Oh,
“What? You found him? Is it true?” Mika’s surprised reaction.“Yes.”Orixa and Mika still couldn’t believe it.“How? How did you find him, Nikku?” Orixa asked.“I tracked him too.”“Hm?”“I followed you and the others to the building,” Nikko said to Orixa.“You were following us in our investigation? But why didn’t you just join us?”Nikko didn’t answer the question.Mika answered Orixa’s question, “Uuuhh… It’s just him… being him. Nikko being Nikko.”“Uh-huh… But we didn’t even feel you trailing us.”“...”“What did you do then? We wer
One kid suddenly draws a knife out of his pocket.“I told you! Don’t try to stop me! It’s my decision! Mind your own business!”“You’re stupid, Spike! You don’t know what you’re into! They’re just brainwashing you! You idiot!”“Stop mocking me or I’ll stab this knife in your throat!”“Quit it, Spike! I know they got Auntie Cecilia. But if you don’t get out of there, you’ll probably end up in a bad condition!”“You don’t know what you’re saying. I said leave me alone!”“Tch! F*cking idiot!”“Say that again I will really kill you!”“You moron!”The kid lost it. He charges as he attempts to stab the other kid. But then,
“We’re getting closer,” Nikko announced. The Raiding Players were now in the boundary of the Rubbles. The abandoned house where the man is hiding is just a few blocks nearby. “Ugh… This place really makes me nauseous *cough*,” Skald groaned. “I can’t believe someone is still living in this area,” Tafeeta said. “They might have strong guts to live in an inhabitable place like this,’ Vlanko said. “Enough blabbering. We should focus on our mission,” Lorelei said. She asked Nikko, “Will you use the Spell now?” Nikko nodded his head. “Whenever you’re ready.” “We should be at a Party first,” Nikko said. “Ooh - That’s right! I almost forgot it. Thanks for reminding us, Nikku.” After that, Orixa started creating a Party for the players. She added Mika, Nikko, and Skald. She also added the players on the other Raiding Team. Then, “Oh - Shoot! I can only add eight players to the Party. I think the 12-man capacity only applies when we’re in a Dungeon,” Orixa stated. “So… The Lookout T
The Scythe flew and maimed Tafeeta. The man pulled the weapon back - leaving a grave wound on Tafeeta’s chest. “Tafeetaaaa!” Lorelei shouted. She crawled to heal Tafeeta. Desperately, she poured all the potions into Tafeeta’s mouth. “No, no, noooo…” Mika mumbled. Quickly, she sprinted to help Tafeeta. Unfortunately, both their efforts are completely useless. Tafeeta is severely wounded. The other players finally recovered from the shockwave. “How did he do that? The explosion?” Nikko wondered. “It’s his Mask,” Orixa answered. “It allows him to use the Shockwave ability. But fortunate to us, he can only use it once a day,” she explained. Mika still tried to revive Tafeeta using the Anahata. However, the Anahata refused to do so. Skald, Vlanko, and Borj were maddened by the sight of their
“Those definitely are children!” Mika exclaimed.“Helloooo!? Can you tell us where you are so we can find and help you!?” Orixa shouted back at the voices.“Hi - Hello! Are you here to save us!? We’re just right here! Please get us out of here,” one of the children yelled.“I can’t see them; where are they?” Orixa wondered.The children kept on yelling, “Helloooo!? Let us out, please!”“Here! I hear the voices from here,” Nikko uttered. He is showing a huge pile of rubbles beside a wall.Quickly, they dug the pile and after they cleared it, they discovered a hidden door beneath the rubbles.“Geez… this might be where the man hid the poor children,” Orixa uttered.Without further ado, they opened the doo

Mika quickly sprinted to approach her friends.“Orixa! Nikko!”“Hey, Mimi. Where have you been? And what’s with the sweaty face and runny breaths?” Orixa asked.“Are you fine? Are you hurt?” Mika asked frantically.“No! Why would we be? We just interrogated the man inside the Chamber,” Orixa replied. “And don’t worry! Coco, Skaldy, and Lory were there to monitor the situation. They kept us safe while Nikku and I were interviewing the man. Hehe.”“Wait… wha?...” Mika mumbled.Mika is still confused about the situation. Still, she tried her best to hide it to avoid suspicion. She calmed herself down and tried to continue the conversation with Orixa.“What did you find? Have you squeezed something from him?”
