Volume 2 - CH 13

Once we found the treasure, we returned to the super-special classroom with Lumiere and my classmates.

Then, looking at the treasure chest I brought, Cody banged my back.

“Hey, i9t’s great chrono. Have you found it?”

“Well, it’s just a coincidence.”

“According to the Demon King’s explanation, it was usually founded through a long-term treasure search, but after all you are out of the standard.”

And he said such a thing.

Lumiere mentioned earlier that it was not so easy to find.

“Wait a minute, Cody. You guys got an explanation from the Demon King Liza?”

“Eh? No, she just explained: ‘You should find one treasure monthly, or on a yearly basis! Don’t worry too much!'”

“Oh, I heard that too.”

“Hey, hey…”

So that’s it. It seems that the explanations I received and the explanations they received were quite different. That Demon King didn’t explain the search period to me so much, so I didn’t know the standard.

Well, if you discover one in a few days, it’s said to be a high pace.

I couldn’t ask anything because Liza was not there, but next time I’d ask about the pace of normal dungeon exploration.

Otherwise, you will unknowingly create an air pocket. I mean, I was able to do it a while ago.

“Chrono, you nod alone. Are you okay? Did you hurt your neck with the previous movement? Then I’ll recover you”

“Oh, it’s okay, sister Lumiere. I was just looking back on my past. Anyway, that’s over, and let’s enter the treasure confirmation time.”

“Yeah! That’s the purpose of the dive.”

Yes, I dived into the dungeon of the 10th Demon King to find the water of God or to find a tool to repair the treasure.

And now I have found a treasure. Then I must check the contents.

With that in mind, I was excited to open the wooden box. Then, inside…

“Huh?”

There was only one old transparent vial.

“Well, what is this?”

“At least it doesn’t look like God’s water…”

Lumiere looked a little discouraged when she saw it.

There was something my sister needed, let alone her first discovery of the Demon King’s heritage.

I think this reaction can’t be helped.

It looked like a bottle.

There was no description. Well, I didn’t want to see her making her long ears down with sadness.

“For now, we can dive again. Cheer up, Sister Lumiere.”

I squeezed her hand to empower Lumiere. Then she slowly came with all her might.

“That right isn’t it. Thanks, chrono.…… Huh?”

And she smiled a little while grabbing my hand.

“Yeah, what’s wrong?”

“No, when I was a kid, when I had a fight with my sister and I wasn’t feeling well, Chrono often cheered me up like this. I’m glad to know that kindness hasn’t changed since then.”

Lumiere said with slightly red cheeks.

I was a little embarrassed because the classmates around me were looking at me with nice faces. I didn’t feel bad at all.

“Well, well, yeah. Let’s put this treasure into the appraisal machine for the time being, and then go on a search again!”

“Yes, that’s right.”

“Oh, I’ll go out with you next time, Chrono!”

After getting the consent of my colleagues, I put the old bottle in the appraisal machine.

After a few seconds, the appraiser slowly pulled out the paper through the slot at the bottom. The appraisal result was written. So, the first thing we saw was:

“Assessment: 20 million gold”

It was the price written at the bottom of the paper.

“Eh……?”

“What’s this price!? Chrono! This is strange!”

You could also see Lumiere’s surprise.

The price was clearly the highest in the Demon King’s heritage.

Why was such an old bottle so expensive? When I thought so, the paper was spat out to the end. The product name was also listed there,

“Product name: 10° Demon King’s “Magic Disease Remedy”. Conversion Bottle Special Ability: Creation of God’s Water. Type: Special Device.”

“This is…”

The name was something we were very much looking for.

“Maybe God’s water isn’t a treasure by itself… does it mean a medicine made by a treasure?”

Before we entered the dungeon, we saw the “Treasure Encyclopedia” where successive Demon Kings described their treasure information, but the detailed shape is not written there.

Therefore, I learned well that some treasures cannot be judged visually like this time. Moreover…

“I’m glad we found it early, Sister Lumiere. How good it is with this.”

I called out to Lumiere next to me. Then…

“Ah……”

She was crying.

“Sister Lumiere?”

“Ah, uh… I’m sorry. If I feel relieved, I can’t stop for a while… Gugu…”

She usually showed some margin but then she came in contact with me like an older sister, spilling tears and grabbing my body.

Perhaps she had put up with it.

Even if she was working for her sister, her anxiety might not have stopped. It had been like this for a long time. She kept trying hard for her, so she cried when she felt at ease. that’s why,

Oh, yeah. I missed this kind of thing.

As in the old days, I decided to comfort her by tapping her back with her long ears bright red.

Thus, although we were once disappointed. I was able to get what we wanted.
