Volume 2 - CH 12

I was walking in a place where the monsters were driven away by the activities of Sophia and Yukino.

“For the time being, we are looking for a place where there are many trees or there are many shadows, like around there?”

I didn’t know what the counteract tact repair tool or “God’s water” looked like, but anyway, I should focus on the places where I could hide things.

Thinking so, I headed to the nearby forest. It is a zone where several large trees were lined up.

When I stepped in there,

“Um, next is this tree.”

There was already Lumiere. She went up the tree and was checking between the branches.

In addition to her gentle personality, she was moving very dexterously despite her large breasts and buttocks.

She seemed to notice me when I was looking from below thinking about when I was playing with her in the past.

She waved her hand and called out.

“Hey, Chrono. Did you find something?”

“No, not at all. I mean, I’ve just come to look for it. What about Lumiere?”

“I haven’t seen anything that looks like a treasure. I don’t even get one of the treasure chests. I’m an elf, so I’m good at finding things hidden in vegetation, but I can’t find anything that isn’t there.”

Lumière walked dexterously on the branches, then dropped her shoulders with disappointment. Somehow, the Demon Kings tended to put treasures in rather twisted places. It could not be helped not to find it so easily.

However, as long as a sick child was waiting, I couldn’t afford to be too lazy. I must sort it out and look for it.

It was when Chrono was thinking about that.

“”Hey, Chrono! oh, my god, there!”

“Yes?”

Cody shouted, so when I looked there,

“Bluoooooooo!”

A monster with a huge horn was rushing. Seeing that, Lumiere on the tree shouted at me in a hurry.

“Hey, it’s a Tyrannoble! Chrono, run away quickly! His rushing power is tremendous!”

It was certainly a medium speed.

While Lumiere was talking, it was just a stone’s throw away. This was too late to turn your back and run away. that’s why,

“For the time being, should I sweep its feet?”

I used the chain in my hand to wipe off the ground. The result…

“Bruo!?”

The Tyrannoble, who was literally scooped up at his feet, plunged into the big tree behind me with that momentum.

‘Zugan’

The tree shook with a terrible sound. It seemed that I hit it very strongly. The big tree started to break from the middle, making a noise. Furthermore…

“I… I will… fall…!”

Lumiere, who was on the tree, fell as it was.

“Wow, sister Lumiere. I’m sorry!”

I hurriedly went under the tree and caught the falling Lumiere with both hands.

“Oh, thank you, Chrono”

Lumiere gave a bow while carried like a princess.

“No, don’t worry because it’s my fault right now. No, no way, it’s just that the fragile tree brock …”

“Well, if you get that kind of shock, you think a normal tree will break, right?”

“Is that the case?”

Because it’s such a thick tree, I thought it would take some impact. It was a miscalculation that it couldn’t stand the assault.

“That’s Chrono. Is the tree that is the standard for Chrono really a tree?”

“Yeah? I don’t know what you’re talking about, but you know Lumiere. A tree in the forest near my parents’ house. A dragon hung on that branch wouldn’t break.”

“Ah… the dragon wasn’t using magic to disperse the weight; it was just that the trees were sturdy and stiff.”

Lumiere sighed while looking up at the void as if to remember the past.

Then she stared at my face.

“I mean, things that exist in that forest are basically not normal. I think it’s better to know the area there.”

“Oh, yeah? I understand, sister Lumiere. For the time being, I understand that there aren’t many sturdy trees like those in that forest.”

When I think about it, the trees in the dungeon of the second Demon King weren’t that hard either. You know it by learning properly.

While talking, I put Lumiere on the ground with a slightly tight smile.

“Well, are you injured anyway sister Lumiere?”

“No, thanks to you. However, it seems that that thing is quite injured.”

Lumiere pointed to the Tyrannoble, who was smashing into a tree and bleeding from his forehead.

It seemed that they really collided with more power than expected.

“Bur…”

Most of the fighting spirit was lost due to the lack of blood, shed from the forehead. For that matter, I was backing up looking at the chains hanging from my arms.

“How you stay quiet?”

Then, as the chains were fluttering, the Tyrannoble rushed away.

“Good. Well, the result that we didn’t have to fight is okay.”

Seeing me like that, Lumiere smiled again with a stern smile.

“Well, Chrono, your moves are crazier than they used to be. I couldn’t see them you were moving too fast before. You were able to sweep with a chain.”

“Well, it’s been ten years since my sister Lumiere was gone. I think I’ve grown a little compared to that time.”

“Yeah, I don’t think it’s a little!”

The second part was told with little effort. From her point of view, I seemed to have grown up. When I was taking a break, I was happy with that.

“Huh?”

A faint light was visible in the center of the broken tree. When I wondered what it was,

“Oh, it’s a treasure”

“Eh?”

I found a small treasure chest embedded in the broken tree.

“This, is this the legacy of the Demon King?”

“Maybe that’s not the case? It’s just a mean way to hide it by embedding it in a tree.”

“Well, it’s not easy to find it in a few minutes after entering… Why can Chrono be normal?”

“Well, I often found them relatively quickly.”

Fortunately, every time I dive into a dungeon, I find something remarkable. I’m not excited about what I found often.

“But I’m glad for sister Lumiere. I don’t know what’s inside, but I found one early.”

“Well, that’s right. There are a lot of surprises, but … anyway, I’m happy! Let’s check the contents soon.”

“Oh, let’s report back to everyone and see what’s inside.”

Then, with Lumiere staring at me with half anxiety and half expectation, I returned to my friends.
