《Are you a Lucker? (Luck based LitRPG)》
Chapter 1
Shinkai Yuu was sleeping on the rooftop while his friends were playing a game.
Andfrom out of nowhere rain of meteors fell down from the sky,as others were screaming, Yuu was sleeping like a log.
Synchronizing.,,
As part of the promise, You will be transported into Epsilon and to help You adapt in Epsilon, a newrule has been implemented.
You have three minutes to learn about Epsilon and chooses Your starting location.Warning! Failure to choose Your starting location will result in random teleportation.
Yuu friends stopped screaming. Dumbfounded by a mysterious voice that had just spoken into their mind and the transparent white screen that floated on top of their head.
"I see, let''s choose this place." Said one of Yuu''s friends.
"Oi! Yuu! Wake up and pick..." The other friend tried to wake Yuu up by slapping his face, but
Three minutes have passed.
And then the sky distorted, lights came from the floor, and everyone on Earth was teleported into Epsilon.
2 Hours later.
When Yuu woke up from his slumber, his cheek was stinging and full of hand mark. Still half asleep, a big yawn came out from his mouth, while stretching his back and scratching his head; Yuu slowly regained his consciousness.
Trees as tall as a skyscraper surrounded him, and a strange green light shimmered through the vast canopy of leaves.
"Where am i? .....Huh?! WHERE THE FUCK AM I?! Where is the school?!" Yuu''s eyes opened wide, looking around the rainforest with a puzzled face. His voice was replied by the sudden screech of a bird, the flicker of a monkey swinging through the branches overhead and the buzzing sound from the bug. They knew someone was here.
Yuu didn''t have any chance to catch a breath, once he sat onto the nearby tree while trying to figuring out what was going on. A blue fur gorilla with four pairs of spider leg on his back swinging from one tree to the another.
Yuu blinked several times, rubbed his eyes and pinched his cheek. "Ouch!" Since it was hurt, Yuu assumed that he wasn''t dreaming.
".....Right, is this what they call a hallucination? I know it that study for all night long isn''t good for my mind." Said Yuu while trying to convince himself.
Then the reality struck him, theGoritulla jumped down from the right, right in front of Yuu''s face. Its mouth gaped black and dank. They exchanged glares to each other, it was so tense that the silence was as thick as the blackness, then Goritulla pummeled the ground and roared at Yuu.
Goritulla slimy saliva along with a smell so foul adhered into Yuu''s body andwithout any warning, Yuu dashed away from Goritulla. "What the fuck is that?! WTF is that?! Wtf is that?!" Like a prayer, Yuu kept repeating his words.
Slightly looking back to see the Goritulla location, it used its spider legs to move on the ground with an incredible speed. Maybe the luck wasn''t on Yuu side, he stumbled upon something and kissed the ground. In desperation, Yuu tried to face the Goritulla, it spider legs was piercing the ground, and big hole was created behind its path.
"There is noway in hell I can survive that thing!!!!" Yelled Yuu after he saw Goritulla. Though Yuu couldn''t help but wonder why the Goritulla wasn''t attacking him, yet. Goritulla gave a thunderous roar before it slammed its hands and disappeared from Yuu''s sight.
"......There''s something behind my back, right?!" At the very least Yuu wanted to know what things that killed him, hoping he could become a ghost and haunted that thing down. But, unlike with his expectation, there was nothing on his back.
"Yeah, I''m pretty sure that I didn''t see anything when I was running in this direction." Said Yuu.
Still, it was a close call. Whatever the reason that made Goritulla ran away, Yuu assumed that it was either a Deux-ex machina or his hidden power that made it ran away. After catching his breath, Yuu stood up but he couldn''t move his feet. Slowly Yuu moved his gaze toward his feet and found that a thick branch had been tied his feet down.Stolen content warning: this tale belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences elsewhere.
It was about the time that Yuu was trying to remove the branch that tied his feet. The top half of Goritulla''s body was thrown at the tree near him, with enough power to split the tree in half, seeing the lifeless corpse of Goritulla, Yuu hastened his hand to remove the thick branch.
Just remembering that he had a lighter, Yuu flicked the lighter and burned the branch, the branch wasn''t burned down but it retreated into the ground like someone was pulling it. After this phenomena, Yuu could felt a tremor, surrounding trees were moving and creating a path for one tree, bigger than the rest. Its roots were covering the ground and unlike the other tree, it had a human face andheld a wooden club in its human-like right arm.
Yuu desperately tried to run from the Treant, but in front of him, Yuu saw a small dinosaur, twice on his size,with scally skin covered its body and sickle-shaped clawsran at him with incredible speed.
It was hard enough for Yuu to run away inside this sea of trees. He knew that for turning around he must stop for a second and stopping mean getting squashed by the Treant, while if he continued to run straight, there was a slight chance the small dinosaur missed him.
Or that was what he thought.
The dinosaur easily bit his uniform; snatching Yuu and running from the Treant. "Fu!! Is it going to give me to its kids?!" Said Yuu.
After spending minutes trying to run away from the dinosaur, Yuu finally fell to the ground, or more likely the dinosaur dropped to the ground.
Surprised, Yuu looked toward the dinosaur and saw a green light surrounded on its body. After the light was dissipated, a brown-haired girl, from the lack of muscles on her leg, anyone could tell that this girl was a paraplegic.
Though the real problem was. "What the hell happened?! who are you?! where am I?! How can you turn into a dinosaur?! or you''re turning into a human?!" Finally, Yuu snapped. His mind couldn''t take it anymore and the sight of another human made him asked one thousand questions.
"E...erm...my name is Hitori Mio. Nice to meet you." Said Mio while her body still facing the ground.
"Oh... Shinkai Yuu.... Wait?! This isn''t the time for that!!! Where is this place?! How do you do that?! what is that monster?!"
"Erm... I guess this is a part of Epsilon, do you forget it? The meteor? Voice in your head? Epsilon?"
"Never heard that..."
"...Is that so? Erm... are you sure you didn''t hit your head? I don''t know much about this place either but I guess I can answer your question."
And as Yuu began to listen of what happened. He turned his back, covering his face and staring at the distance. "...Ahaha... No way... All of that thing happened and I still sleeping?!"
"E..em... don''t feel too bad, you''re doing fine! Um.. I mean just look at me, I was to busy to determine my starting location and the next thing I knew I was in this jungle." Said Mio while trying to cheer Yuu.
Taking a deep breath ".....So, this status thing, how do I get that?"
"Erm... there''s this tattoo below your right wrist right? try to touch it while saying menu. Um... and if you don''t mind, can you help me sit down? it feels weird to talk while my face was facing the ground." Said Mio.
Without hesitation, Yuu grabbed her collar and put her into sitting position. He sat next to her and opening his status. "...Eh, why is mine N/a?" Asked Yuu.
"E..ehm... try to roll your status. See? that button? try to touch it."
Yuu touched the button on the transparent white screen, dices fall down followed by things that came from out of nowhere.

Chapter 12
Back at the guild hall, although Yuu planning to become a Fighter or Swordsman but what happened had happened. Moreover, Thief wasn''t that bad either and his status distribution also wasn''t that bad either.
While waiting for Clorevica, Yuu realized that no one from Earth had chosen Earthbury as their starting point. Letting out a big sigh, "E..erm... Yuu... I''m sorry.." once again Mio bowing her head and apologizing.
"Geez, relax. I''m not that MAD." Replied Yuu without looking at Mio.
After 5 minutes full of conversation with Mio apologizing, Clorevica walked out of the warehouse and brought three leather purse along with a small bag. "Your share." Said Clorevica as she threw the purses to them.
Yuu checked the purse. Inside he found 99 gold coin, 99 silver coin, 99 copper coin, and 100 iron coin. Without saying a word he stood up and walked away from them.
Immediately Mio stood up and grabbed his shoulder. "...What again? Our deal is off right?" Said Yuu while turning his face; facing Mio.
"E..erm... can we stay together a little bit longer? You know... maybe until we learn about the letter and money currency." Said Mio.
....That was a good idea. Yuu never thought about that and much to his surprise Clorevica also stood up and talking to them. "Dork, Mio. I''m going to buy some supplies. Wanna come?"
As they curiously glancing at Clorevica, working their brain to decipher the weaning of her word. She walked past them without saying anything. Gasped, Mio with her raptor leg pulling Yuu''s arm. "W..wait Clorevica, we''re coming."
At the shopping district in Earthbury city, they followed Clorevica and went through many blacksmith and armor store, as they entered the alley; deviated from the main street. They reached a tattered small shop with no one else except an old man and a young dwarf.
"Gramps, make me something good from this." Said Clorevica as she thrown her bag and showed a different kind of monster materials.
The old man, bald, thin, only had two tooths left and didn''t look promising at all, without even smiling or greeting them, checked the bag and took some materials away.
Without anything else to do, Yuu strolled around the store as he found an enormous massive sword, from tip to handle, it is approximately 1.8 to 2.1 meter long, with a single-edged large blade approximately one foot wide, the blade had a lighter silvery color on the bladed edge, while the rest of the blade was black metal, precisely like the one he saw on video game. As he moved his finger to touched the sword. "Brat!! Who do you think you are to touch my creation?!" Yelled the old man, even though Yuu hadn''t touched the sword.
Yuu turning his head, looking at the old man with a vein popping out from his forehead. No wonder no one coming to this shop he thought on his mind.This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road. If you spot it on Amazon, please report it.
"Relax gramps, they''re with me. Though that guy is a dork, I don''t think he will understand your words. By the way they are still new for this kind of thing, like a baby." Said Clorevica.
"A greenhorn eh?" Shouted the old man. As he glanced at Yuu and Mio. "Oh? Thief and Shifter? that''s unusual. Still, my creation isn''t for a greenhorn. Bokhit! go listen to their orders." Said the old man like he magically knew about Yuu and Mio class.
The young dwarf then went to them. "What do you want? I''m guessing the woman over there is a shifter.* The dwarf stopping his words and shaking his head while sighing "Why do you choose a shifter? it is like, I don''t know, the second most useless Class you can ever take." Said the dwarf as his eyes were scanning at Mio''s body.
Rather than replying back, Mio just slowly walked behind Yuu''s back and slowly hid her face. "...Well, she has her own reason." Replied Yuu as her spokesperson.
As Bokhit strolled around to the store right side and mumbling "Hmph! whatever, then a Shifter... shifter... how about a couple of throwing weapons? like a short spear and throwing knife? that should be fine to cover your weaknesses." Said Bokhit, he grabbed a few different varieties of short spear, about 1 meter in length and threw it to Yuu.
"Oi! Mio, your short spears is here." Said Yuu as he turned around and handing her the spears.
"Then a Thief... *Sigh* why are you choosing Thief? are you want to become a criminal?" Bokhit once again commenting at their Class while shaking his head. "Then, of course, you want a dagger, maybe some throwing weapon, and... " Said Bokhit.
"Oi! how much for this?" Said Yuu as he pointing a crossbow.
Bokhit completely ignoring him and continuing his word. "That one is a fail product, how about this boomerang? it should be fine, Ah, can you use Chakram? Oh, this one is a good one for the woman." As he scattered a lot of thing on top of the table and gave both of them a monocle.
Wearing the monocles, as they focusing their eyes, they could see a small screen popping out from the equipment and this time in a language they could understand. After browsing through the list, they could optimize their choices, but Yuu''s fashion sense was tingling when he saw the color combination of armor and clothes that Mio chose. In the end, he chose her armor, a stylish one.

Chapter 13
The trip to the inn was a hard one, they brought too many things at once. Still, even after spending their time shopping, they didn''t manage to get a grasp of the money value in Epsilon. In the end, Mio told Yuu to just assuming that 1 Cooper coin was equal to 1$ and spending their money based on that assumption.
They stayed at a high-grade inn, a night with meals was 8 Silver coin, since this inn didn''t have a triple room, and even though Yuu was forcing the other to take a private room, somehow Mio was insisting to stay in one room. In the end, they took a room for four persons costing 30 silver coin for a night.
Albeit protesting, Yuu eyes were shinning when he finally saw a bed, a real bed not the one made from a bear rug. "Finally!" He said as he dived to the bed. It didn''t take long for him to fall into a deep slumber.
While Mio was sniffing her body with an unpleasant expression. Rummaging through their groceries, she took out a soap, a shampoo, a toothbrush, and a toothpaste, with a big grin on her face she ran to the bathroom.
Clorevica on the other hand, sitting on top of her bed, closing her eyes and slowly releasing her breath in and out while thinking. ...Why am I following them?
Falling deep into her meditation, she could hear everything, a laughing voice from the first floor, a sound of water from the bathroom, Mio''s humming and a slight movement from Yuu''s direction.
As she opening her eyes, she saw Yuu, already standing while scratching his head. Slowly he walked away from his bed. "Dork, where are you going?"
Half asleep, a big yawn came out from Yuu. "...Toilet." He replied. Then, Slowly Yuu turned the doorknob and stood still in front of the bathroom.
Five seconds later.
"Gyaaa!!! W..What are you doing! G..get out!!!"
As a bucket flying right into Yuu''s head, he closed the door and walked away. Watching the slapstick comedy Ah, that is my reason Clorevica thought on her mind with a little giggle came from her mouth.
After all of them was finished bathing and taking a good amount of rest, they walked to the first floor and eating their dinner.
Then, while Yuu was smoking on the outside, Mio eating her cakes and Clorevica enjoying her ale, a medium build man about 180 cm tall came to them with a big grin. "Hey, isn''t that the famous Clorevica? what are you doing? bored living in the jungle?" Said the man as sat in Yuu''s chair.
Clorevica acting like the man wasn''t there and Mio slightly looking at him. Wearing a fancy black robe with a mysterious letter scribbled on its side and a pointy hat along with a book on his arm. Yup, this must be a magician Mio thought on her mind.
"Ouch! Such a cold treatment. Hey, miss, you seem to be a kind person. What''s your name?" Asked the man as he gave Mio a friendly smile.
"E..erm...Mio...nice to meet you, em.. excuse me, but that seat is-" Replied Mio as she politely trying to tell Osval that the seat was taken but Osval was cutting her word.
"I''m Osval, by the way, is she your friend?" Asked Osval as he rested his chin on top of the table and gazing at Mio.
Slightly turning her eyes to Clorevica, she nodded. "I see... it must be sucks right?, having a cold-blooded murderer as your friend."Stolen content warning: this content belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences.
His word made Mio flinched, and the inn rowdy atmosphere slowly became quiet as everyone started whispering among each other and looking at Clorevica. "Oh? You don''t know? Oops... did I just say something unnecessary?" Said Osval as he closing his mouth.
But he managed to get Clorevica attention as she said. "What do you want?"
Raising his head and nodding a few times. "Now we''re talking. Hey, hey do you remember me?" Osval pointing himself and asked Clorevica with a smile, though this time his eyes weren''t smiling as he glared at her.
"Duh, do you think I''m stupid? You just introduce yourself."
"Yup, yup. Of course, you don''t remember. After all, we are nothing more than an insect for you. So... what are you planning to do to Mio? do you find your next target? Hm... hey, Mio, Mi~o."
Perhaps the most stressing thing about the whole situation to Mio was she wanted to speak for Clorevica, but unsure of what she should say, she trembled, as the air that entered her lunge became heavy and her body become hotter.
"Hey~ Mio~ Are you ignoring me?" Said Osval as he waving his hand right in front of Mio''s face.
And this whole situation was almost immediately over when someone was speaking.
"...Dude, I don''t mind if you''re going to hit on her, but take a hint will you, moreover that''s my seat, hush."
Slowly, Osval turned his gaze and saw Yuu as he brought another set of meal on his hand. Trying to figure out who the man was. "My, my, are you her friend? what''s your name?" Osval said with a cheerful smile.
"Nope. Just an acquaintance. Besides, don''t you supposed to introduce yourself before asking for another person name?"
Being a careful man, Osval introduced himself and after Yuu told his name with glittering eyes, Osval spoke. "Hey, hey. Yuu, do you know that Clorevica is a killer?"
For several seconds, nothing happened. Yuu just blankly stared at Osval and with a flat voice, he spoke. "So? is that all? oh my god~ I sleep next to murderer~ oh~ I''m so surprised~ now fuck off from my seat."
Hearing the strange insult from Yuu, after a few moments dumbfoundedly staring at him, Osval opened his mouth. "..Right, right. maybe I don''t speak it clear enough."
This time, vein popped on Yuu''s forehead, his entire gaze glaring at him, without any hesitation, almost immediately he kicked him out of the chair. "...Maybe I''m the one that doesn''t speak clear enough. Fuck off from my seat." Said Yuu as he began to put his food into the table.
Everyone was staring at them. This wasn''t a cheap inn. There was a big sign nailed to the wall. ''Do not fight in this inn.'' Yuu couldn''t read it though.
But, before the inn guards able to stop the fight, a ring of fire shot up and it exploded into many of smaller ring of fire; all heading toward Yuu.
It was his first time fighting since he got his first class, an excitement was building up right inside of his body. With a huge grin, Yuu leaped around the room, evading each and every ring of fire that chased after him while tapping the nearby person shoulder, stealing their Agility. In less than a minute, he successfully stealing 32 Agility from six persons. And less than a ten seconds, he stole 27 Agility away from three other people.
Moving with a speed of 70feet/second in an instant was surreal. Not only that, without momentum, Yuu could jump for more than 8 meters, as he became more adaptable with his speed, he leaped right into Osval and kicking him right at his head, but his kick got blocked by Osval Physical Barrier.
"Marvelous! Marvelous! You must be her accomplice right?!" Spoke Osval as he realized a crack on his barrier.
After a small hesitation, as Yuu wondered what would happen if he used Steal: Strength and kicked Osval with a full power.
It didn''t take long for Mio and Clorevica to realize the meaning behind Yuu expression, as they jumped next to him, blocking him from destroying the inn any further.
As Yuu adrenaline slowly gone, he saw the inn owner''s face slowly turned red. "You three!!! Get out from my inn and don''t come back for forever!!!!"

Chapter 14
Having left the MoonSun Inn, the moons had already begun to reach its peak as the trio strolled their way inside the inn district. The inn district was not all that far from the marketplace. The surrounding inns were already lifeless with activity as people started to sleep and rest.
The trio examined the surrounding buildings trying to find an empty inn.
"Hey~ the handsome big bro and the beautiful sisters over there!"
While they were restlessly looking around for an empty inn, a voice suddenly called out to them. Thinking it could only be themselves who were being called, they turned around to see a carrot, layered hair girl wearing a white apron over a black dress. She was probably three or four years younger than Yuu.
"Do you mean us?" Yuu answered while trying not to raise his hope up. He couldn''t take any more disappointment when the one that called out to them was a brothel.
"Yup! That''s right! Are you guys by any chance looking for an Inn?" As not to let a potential customer escaped, the girl clung into Yuu''s right arm.
"Yeah right, we''re not looking for a brothel." Said Clorevica as she tried to shove the young girl away.
"How rude! We are a real inn!" The girl gave Clorevica a cheerful answer.
"U..um... then... we''d like to stay for a night." Replied Mio, though somehow she couldn''t help wonder why she glared toward the young girl.
"Yay! Three guests are coming! Come here! Quick, quick!" The girl impatiently began pulling Yuu towards a nearby inn.
It was a wooden two-story building. Just at a glance, they could tell the building had some age behind it.
Upon entering, a counter greeted them with a door on the left leading to the dining hall and bar. Noisy voices could be heard from the other side of the door. Merry singing and loud quarrels, such noises indicated that the everyone inside was already drunk.
"50 Copper coin for a night including dinner and breakfast." The girl stopped for a moment; and counting with her finger.
"That means, for three persons it will be one Silver coin and 50 Copper coin. Hot water and a towel will be another 10 copper coin. The fee is to be paid in advance!" The girl cheerfully explained the rates while showing a smug face as she had just completed a multiplication.
"Oi, do you guys want hot water and a towel?" Yuu asked his companions, in which they replied with a nod.
"Then, three rooms and three hot water and towels, please." There was something very different about Yuu¡¯s tone of voice now, but only Mio noticed it. You could be reading stolen content. Head to Royal Road for the genuine story.
Too excited about her new guests ."You guys aren''t staying in the three-person room?!" The girl said disappointedly, while holding a key in her hand.
Even the most insensitive person could tell that they only had a three-person room left.
"...Three-person room is fine and can you bring the hot water and the towels in the morning?" Yuu replied immediately and handed 1 silver and 80 copper coin. This time, even Clorevica realized something was wrong with Yuu''s attitude while Mio coldly glared at him.
"Roger! Enjoy your night~! By the way, what¡¯s your name?" The girl asked Yuu in high spirits.
Such an energetic child, Yuu thought. It was a refreshing sight, contrasted to the two of his companions.
"I''m Yuu, the raptor leg girl is Mio and she is Clorevica." Somehow Yuu had become the spokesperson for his companions.
"I''m Delice! Hope we can be a good friend!" Delice smile sweetly then she grabbed and pulled Yuu''s hand, directed them to their room.
"Tada~ Here¡¯s your room. The toilet¡¯s over there. You can use the well outside as you like. Oh! lastly, here¡¯s the key. I recommend that you don¡¯t leave any valuables in the room though. Do you have any questions?"
Her cheerful attitude made Yuu genuinely smile if only she is three years older. Yuu thought in his mind.
But one thing that he didn''t realize was that the three girls staring at him with a dropping jaw. After a few moments later. "...*Gasp* Hey, Yuu! You should smile more often! Promise me you will smile more often!" Said Delice.
"Ah! wait! that''s not what I mean! Anyway, if you guys need anything, feel free to ask! Come downstairs when you¡¯ve finished putting away your luggage. It''s already late but the dining hall is still open! Just go to the left door near the reception. Ah, and please... please don¡¯t get into any fights with other adventurers." Somehow she was able to say that in a single breath.
"Oh, hey girl. What do you think about the adventurers that are always getting into a fight?" Said Clorevica.
"They are really just idiots! To so easily be provoked! Ah! Sorry! I don''t mean it that way, you guys seem to be a nice person!" Delice answered Clorevica question.
Hearing this a shadow cast over on Yuu''s face. "Hm~? What wrong Yuu~? Somethings wrong~?" Said Mio.
"Yep, don''t worry about that. We are a nice person~ Right, Dork, oh I mean Yuu~ Ah~ I just can''t differentiate you two anymore~" Said Clorevica as she took the key from Delice hand and unlocked the door.
Delice only tilted her head when she heard the girls. As she cheerfully walked back to the first floor, the Trio entered the room and put their luggage. "Geez, how many times do I need to say sorry? and it wasn''t my fault either. That guy just kept acting smug, ignoring my words and acting like I''m the idiot. Moreover, why only us that were getting kicked?"
"Hm... Is that So? Because we were getting kicked....Yuu must be happy right? .... Meeting that girl." After Mio finished her sentence she completed it by sticking her tongue out.
"....You know, this wouldn''t happen if you two just rejecting his offer or just told him that the seat is occupied." Still though that Osval was hitting on them. Yuu flicked Mio''s forehead until her head slight moved back.
"Fueh!" Said Mio as she covered her forehead and turning her face away.
"...Oi, let me touch it one more time." Said Yuu, even though Mio already changed her arm into a tiger arm, the difference in their Strength still too great.
"Clo! Hold her arms down!" Said Yuu, feeling something interesting would happen, Clorevica followed Yuu''s order.
As Yuu touched Mio''s forehead. "....Damn, this is a crazy fever."
Chapter 15
"Um... I''m sorry."
Albeit resting weakly on the bed, Mio couldn''t help but smile. Unlike her time on Earth, this time someone was accompanying her, not because of duty or money, they just accompanying her.
"...What are you smiling for?" Said the rude and aggressive young man as he was carefully nursing Mio. While the quite and sarcastic wood elf, Clorevica was searching a fever potion.
"Ehehe... nothing..."
There were too many things going on today. First, they reached their first city. Second, not only they got a class, for Mio, she also got her leg. Third, even though they should be disbanding, they still travelling together. Fourth, Mio should be expecting this but knowing the fact that her friend was a murderer, really shocked her mind and body.
Frantically, maybe this was the best time for Mio to talk about it. Now Mio was making a serious face. "U..um... Yuu, I''m not planning to talk behind Clorevica''s back, but... e..erm... it''s just I heard a gossip about her being a cold blood murderer."
"So?" Yuu answered as Mio nervously watching him.
After a few minutes of awkward silence. "U...urm...is that all? no reaction?!"
Shrugging his shoulder, Yuu drained the wet towel and put it into her forehead. "Well, what do you expect? just go to sleep."
"E..eh... you''re no fun."
Though much to her surprise, as Yuu''s rough hand was gently wiping her forehead. A cheerful voice echoed from outside of the hall. "Ah! Clorevica~ What are you doing over there? Are they locking the door?"
Just as Delice''s face began to show as the door slowly opened, Clorevica''s figure could be seen, standing right behind her back. "There you go~ Next time please be more careful~ ." Said Delice as she skipped her way to another room.
Clorevica only walked through the door without saying a single word. "...Do I interrupting something?" Clorevica said as she threw a bottle of transparent blue liquid to Yuu.
Raising Mio''s back and opening the cork, without even asking whether or not she would drink it by herself, Yuu nonchalantly poured the fever potion into her mouth. "Not really, just talking about you." Said Yuu.
Hearing Yuu''s sentence, Mio coughed. Spilling the rest of the fever potion.
"Oh, about what? and Mio, that potion is expensive." Clorevica spoke like she wasn''t bothered at all.
"Eh, some gossip about you being a murderer or something like that." Replied Yuu.
The wood elf only tilted her head. "...Is that all? Thought you have some new gossip about me." Said Clorevica, followed by a big yawn coming from her mouth.
As Mio curiously looking at Clorevica. "E...erm...is that true?" She asked while covering half of her face in a blanket.
Opening her boots and laying on the bed. "Yep." She answered.Unlawfully taken from Royal Road, this story should be reported if seen on Amazon.
Yuu clearly showed he wasn''t interested in this topic, though Mio kept staring at her; dumbfoundedly. "Just create a bonfire and sit in a circle then I''ll tell you about my story." Said Clorevica. Though Yuu got another useless information about Epsilon, it seemed their bonfire tradition was the same as Earth.
Soon, no one was interested in this topic and as they slowly feel into their own dream.
*****
As the fourteen-year-old Clorevica, just recently became a Hunter. Near her leg, there were corpses of a Warrior dark elf and a Cleric dwarf, on her back there was a human Magician, breathing weakly while cowering in fear. And right on her face, there was a mass of tangled limbs along with a human Paladin.
While the monster was devouring the Paladin, showing its soft spot. "C! Shoot it!" The Paladin commanded her.
Choosing between the life of many other Adventurers or the life of one person. Clorevica chose the former. As she released her arrow, letting it pierced the Paladin chest along with the monster soft meat. This was her first killing.
Her second was another tragic one, at 15, as she already had enough experience to lead her own party, her first party had been annihilated as they finished their fight with the Goritulla, the newbie on her team, another Archer, laying with a big hole on her stomach. "...Please... It''s hurt..."
Couldn''t let her own companion to suffer more pain, slowly Clorevica slid her throat, only to find one minute later, that another group, full of Cleric and Paladin reached their destination.
at 16, as she began living in the wilderness. She found a group of adventurers, eating more than they could chew. As she watched the group of adventurers slowly devoured by the group of Constrictor snakes. Too much for her to handle, the best action she could take was shooting the adventurers right in their head, ending their suffering.
But unknowingly to her, one of them was survived, A Magician that recently became Pyromancer, hiding while watching from afar as Clorevica sniping all of his friends.
*****
Under the summer sun, Yuu felt the warmth of those brilliant rays of light. As he was sleeping on the wooden floor, with a half-eaten watermelon laying right next to him. "Yuu, how long do you planning to keep lazying around?! your friend is here." As the familiar voice from his mother pierced through his ears, Yuu slowly awoke.
Right in front of him, a big fat muscular almost bald guy, a foreigner with his slick black dreadlock hair, a medium build pink haired guy with his yellow sunglasses, and a pompadour haired guy that had seven pairs of the same jacket were looking at Yuu, with a shadow right on their faces.
"Jeez... summer is almost over and we didn''t even go to the beach, not even once." Said the slick black dreadlock one.
"*Sigh* If only someone didn''t force us to go to the mountain." Said the pink haired guy.
"What?! don''t blame me! blame the TV! That place looks incredibly insane on that show!" Said the pompadour haired guy.
Yuu, gathering his though and staring at his friends. "....So.... are you guys going all the way to my house just to say this?"
Completely forgot about their plan. the big fat muscular guy spoke. "Told ya dat dis guy forgets about it."
Scratching his head while remembering their plan. "....Fuck!! The blind date!" Yuu shouted as he ran into his room and changed his shirt.
*******
As Mio slowly opened her eyes, she found a young woman, waving her hand towards her. "Hey~ Mio~ Come here~ Let''s talk."
What happened?
The last thing she could remember, she was sleeping with Yuu sitting right next to her side. And now, she was in a place where there was nothing except white.
Though, she slowly walked toward the young woman.The young woman smiled and implored Mio to take a seat,
Seat? Mio couldn''t find any seat as she looked around, and much to her surprise she realized her leg was in her normal human form.
"Oops~ sorry, I forget!" The young woman clapped her hand, and all of the sudden, a tea table appeared, atop which were cups filled with tea and pillows to sit on along the sides.
"C''mon take a seat."
"E...erm...Thank you."
When they had taken their seats, they took a sip of their tea.
"U..urm...May I ask what happened?"
"Hm, how should I put this. Right, first thing first, let me introduce myself. I''m Esma, You might not know this, but you win the today lottery~ Yay!!"
"...Huh? I beg your pardon." Mio tilting her head and replying with a big question mark floating on her head.
"Ah! Let me make this simple, you have won the lottery and gained the blessing from Goddes of luck, that''s me by the way!"
As Esma clapped her hand, a light shone from behind of Mio''s chair,The light gradually grew stronger until it covered Mio''s vision. After that, the light swallowed Mio, when the light vanished, she was gone and so was Esma.
Chapter 16
At the adventurer guild.
Yuu wondered which quest he should take, as he squinted his eyes, trying to read the quest description. "C O L L E C T.. H O R N E D.. B O A R.. H O R N S.. R E W A R D: 2 S I L V E R.. F O R.. E A C H.. H O R N. Do I get that right?" Asked Yuu to Aurabelle.
"Oh my.." Said Aurabelle as she covered her wide opened mouth with her hand.
Being able to read Epsilon alphabet after they only spent 1 hour learning it was a big surprise for Aurabelle. Though, Yuu just smiled wryly at her. For a high school student like him, it was a disgrace because he needed to spell every single letter to be able to read it.
On the other hand, after drinking the fever potion. Mio already became healthy as the sun arose. "Erm... Yuu, how about this one? Gather 1 kilogram of lush mushroom. Reward: 50 Cooper coin." and she easily read it like it was nothing.
Uninterested in her suggestion, knowing that he could easily defeat the horned boar, Yuu decided to go on with horned boar quest, but
"Yuu, that quest is for an E rank adventurers." Said Aurabelle as she blocked Yuu''s hand.
From what Yuu learned, there were eight adventurer ranks. Starting from G rank to A. And in some cases, S rank only given to the selected people.
"...But I already defeated many of those things." Yuu said while he shoved Aurabelle''s hand.
A newbie like him was only allowed to take a G rank quest. No matter how much Yuu told her about it, even showing his status and level, albeit surprised Aurabelle kept rejecting his persuasion.
"Yuu... please do me a favour~ I don''t want to get scolded again." Said Aurabelle.
"So?" Yuu pushed Aurabelle''s face away from his sight.
"How mean! Mio~ Help me~." Feeling helpless, Aurabelle turning her target to Mio, hoping she could knock some sense into Yuu''s head.
"Seriously, you guys are taking a quest, not planning a marriage." Clorevica appeared and took some random quest for both of Yuu and Mio.
"Girl, we''ll take this, see ya~." She continued without seeing Aurabelle''s face and dragged Yuu and Mio out from the guild.
"Eh?! Ms Clorevica~ Wait! Whaaaa.... what should I do, I''m gonna get scolded again." Said Aurabelle.
*****
Actually, the quest didn''t have a meaning. Their real purpose was testing Mio''s new skill. The one she got from Esma, one of the three main Gods. Following Clorevica suggestion, it was better for them to test her new skill in a place where people couldn''t see her.
The first reason was for others safety. A blessing from a God/goddess wasn''t something they should underestimate. If things went wrong, many lives would fall.If you come across this story on Amazon, it''s taken without permission from the author. Report it.
Second, it was for Mio''s safety. There would be many people that would jealous with her blessing. Even Clorevica showed a little bit of jealousy when Mio told her about her new skill.
Once they arrived at an empty ground. Yuu went looking for Mio''s potential target and a few moments later.
"Oi! is this the one?" Said Yuu.
He was holding a garlic, with the same size as a basketball, but this garlic had two eyes and its mouth was covered by a cloth. The garlic was trying to run away from Yuu''s grip, but its action was futile.
"Can you do it a little bit longer next time? and Yup that is Gnarly Garlic, come Mio~." Said Clorevica as she pushed Mio with a big grin on her face.
On the other hand, Mio''s face was full of gloominess, as her face became paler when she arrived right in front of Gnarly Garlic face. "E..erm...Yuu...I think my fever is coming again." Said Mio.
"Eh, You looked healthy." As Yuu dropped the garlic and releasing its mouth gag, both of him and Clorevica running away as fast as they could.
In an instant, Gnarly Garlic releasing a dark-greenish smoke from its mouth toward Mio and ran away.
"Hoooekk!!" A breath that so stunk, enough to make Mio vomiting her breakfast and kneeling weakly on the ground.
A few seconds later, Yuu and Clorevica with their mouth and nose covered heading toward Mio, on Yuu''s hand there was a leather bag, full of water and Clorevica brought another set of clothes.
Still kneeling and coughing at the ground, "Don''t touch me!!!" Shouted Mio.
Yuu and Clorevica stopped their movement when they heard Mio''s shout, it was the first time for both of them to hear her shouting in anger. "...Told you we should''ve used another monster." Said Yuu.
"What? Now you blame me? I wonder who was the one that also agreed with my plan." Said Clorevica.
Coughing in pain. "Ngrh! I hate both of you!!!"
Taking a deep sigh, Yuu walked toward her and gently rubbed her back. "...So? Does it success?" Said Yuu, as Clorevica followed from his back.
On the other hand, Mio was shoving Yuu''s hand away from her back as she still coughing in pain. "How about you consider a little bit of my feeling?!!" She shouted.
Astonished, Yuu could only said "...Yes, yes... I''m sorry." As he handed her a bag of water.
Right at this moment, Mio turned her head, with a d10 falling right behind on her back. "Ehehe~ Got you!" She said as she tried to hug Yuu, followed by a fume of greenish smoke flew out from her mouth.
But right when Yuu saw the dice, He already leapt away, avoiding the stinky dark green smoke. As Mio''s target was gone, the smoke continuing its path and hitting Clorevica.
But, she was used to the Gnarly Garlic Stink Breath, moreover with a mouth-cover on her face. "...Mio, do that again and I''ll make sure that you''ll wake up with a bald head." Said Clorevica as she coughed a little bit.
"Eek!... I..I''m sorry! Yuu! You shouldn''t be avoiding that!!!" Yelled Mio.
In the end, after changing their clothes and finishing their clothes. "Hey, Dork, Mio. Let''s train." Said Clorevica

Chapter 17
"I''m not getting any younger." There was something very different about Clorevica''s aura now, but only Mio noticed it, As Yuu was too excited. He knew he couldn''t wing the fight, but there something inside of him yelling that he should try to fight her.
"So, Dork is the one that coming first huh?" Said Clorevica. "You know, maybe you two should fight against me at the same time." She continued.
"E..eh... No... I never fight against anyone else... truth is I don''t want to." Mio answered her, sitting next to a rock as she watched Yuu stretching his body.
Without further confirmation, Yuu threw his chakram right at Clorevica''s head.
Even though it wasn''t written, raising a Dexterity somewhat increasing Yuu''s accuracy and how well he used a weapon. It was an easy task for him to accurately throw something right at the place he wanted it.
Still, that only accurate if the target wasn''t moving. At ease, Clorevica tilted her head; not a single hair became a victim of Yuu''s chakram.
And that wasn''t his opening, using a Skill that his chakram had, Return. Like a super magnet, the one that he threw turned in the mid-air and headed toward the chakram on Yuu''s right hand.
But Clorevica knew about that Skill. In a graceful manner, she shifted her body and let the chakram flew right in front of her face.
Right at the moment after the first chakram flew past Clorevica, he then threw the other chakram to her. Completely abandoning his first chakram; letting it flew passed at him but now his hand was emptied, he loaded a bolt on his crossbow and shot it to Clorevica.
All of Yuu''s action happened in less than two seconds. If he could do this back at the Earth, he must have already appeared on a talent show.
Though, he was in Epsilon, where Status was everything. With 40 Agility and 45 Dexterity, Clorevica caught Yuu''s second chakram and used it to cut the bolt.
"Crap!" Sensing a flow of air behind his back, Yuu crouched down.
As the first chakram flew back to Clorevica. She whistled and said "Not bad~"
Hurrying, Yuu''s grabbed his black and green daggers. With his torso bent forward and his head looking at her, Yuu ran like an anime ninja.
Albeit stupid looking, with a pair of daggers in his hand moreover, his pose made him became a smaller target for Cloverica to shoot.
But a pair of chakrams flying at him. Unable to turn his way, Yuu used the daggers to deflect the chakrams. As he did this, he didn''t have a choice but to stop for a moment.
It was easy for him to attack while moving, but to block an attack while moving was another level of difficulties.Reading on this site? This novel is published elsewhere. Support the author by seeking out the original.
In an instant, an arrow flew past his cheek, creating a small cut. This wasn''t a miss, this was Clorevica way of saying ''You''re dead.''
Yuu thought in his mind that maybe he would have a better chance if he could steal Clorevica Agility. But, for him to be able to do that, he must directly touch her body.
The battle didn''t even last for 5 seconds, although depressing, this was the best he could do. Right until this time, most of the monster Yuu fought didn''t have a speedy trait. They were all nothing but a bunch of walking meat.
Cleaning the cut, Yuu silently went to Mio and said. "Hey, it''s your turn."
"E..eh!!! N..no, no way I could do that!" Mio rejected that idea by wildly shaking her head. In her eyes, after she saw Yuu threw his first chakram and the next thing she knew the battle was over.
"C''mon, you can run faster if you''re in your raptor form." Said Yuu, trying to raise her spirit as he sat right next to her.
"B..but... I never hit someone before... and most of the time, my job was running. I... don''t think I can do it." Mio said with a pale face.
What came at her was a deadly flick right at her forehead. "...Don''t lie, I remember you slapped me really hard on our first day. Not to mention the other hit when you''re annoyed."
Rubbing her forehead with teary eyes and checking her Hit point. "Urgh... Yuu, you don''t need to flick me that hard, my Hit point is reduced by two." She protested.
"Mio~ Are you going to fight from there?" Said Clorevica as she nocked an arrow and directed it to Mio.
"Eeek!!... w..wait... I''m coming." Mio stood and walked with dropped shoulders. Bringing the javelin at her back and a boomerang on her hand.
As both of the girls did a standoff. "E..erm... then here I come. Ei!" Mio threw the boomerang.
Even though she managed to throw it and the boomerang was spinning, Clorevica was shaking her head when the direction wasn''t even flying toward her.
"...Mio, I''m not even moving, but .. I''ll train you how to use that after this." Said Clorevica.
Puffing her cheek in embarrassment "...I know.... and please..."
After taking a deep breath. "Let''s do a melee combat." Said Clorevica as she threw her bow away.
"....Yes..." As a dice falling down and showed 4. She turned into a raptor, though Yuu couldn''t help but wonder why her raptor form what was the requirement for the thing Mio could equip in her raptor form.
"....G..Grrrraaaawr. (....H...here I come.)" Growled Mio, not like anyone else could understand her.
In theory, she could run faster and also stronger than Clorevica. As she charged toward her, Clorevica only stood still, and like a gymnast master, she circled her slender hand on the raptor''s neck and pulled her body right onto raptor''s neck. Forcing it to lay down at the ground.
As Mio turned back into her human form, dropping Clorevica to the ground, dice rolled and once again, she transformed into her raptor form. Oh... I thought she wanted to give up. Yuu thought on his mind when he saw quite an unique idea from the way Mio used her Skill.
Once again, this time she charged in a real close combat but Clorevica did a windmill movement and kicked right at Mio''s chin.
But, Mio was in her raptor form. Albeit her head was facing the sky, she moved her tail trying to hit Clorevica. And from Clorevica windmill position, using only her slender arms power, she did a backflip, moving away from Mio.
Mio''s tail was hitting nothing but an empty air, and this time Clorevica charged toward her, kicking right in the middle of her neck.
This time, Mio turned back into her human form. Coughing while holding her chin and throat. "*Cough* G..give up.. I give up. *Cough*"
"Is that so? Then get your legs back, we''re going to throw some boomerang." Said Clorevica as she spent the rest of her day, doing a spartan training to Mio. While Yuu was doing his training all by himself, while sometimes killing the nearby monster.
Chapter 18
The west district of Earthbury. It was where the rich and the high ranked of the population lived. While with 1 Silver coin, an adult could live a for around 3 days, in this district, 10 Silver coin was nothing more than a children pocket money.
But from among of those people, dressed in fancy jewellery. From among them, there was several ''specialist'', offering their ''services'' to the government and nobles.
The sun still shone brightly, and in front of Osval, there was two person with rowdy appearance; muscles as hard as a steel could be glimpsed, sitting inside of his fancy mansion, discussing something.
"Clorevica the wood elf? Quin, let''s just leave." Said the pointy-eared elf woman. Albeit an elf, she had a big muscular muscle on her arm.
"No, no, no. It''s not for her, what I want is her two little puppies." Said Osval with a friendly smile.
"Do you mean those two new adventurers? The boy with a scar on his left arm and the shifter girl? what do you want from them?" Said, Quin, as his orange coloured full beard was moving up and down.
Osval poured another drink for them, "Does it matter? Since when do you guys care about that?"
"Hah, you get it wrong Mr Osval, what I mean is what do you ''want'' from them?" Said Quin.
Osval speaking as he just realized something, "OH! Sorry, Sorry~ My bad, it''s been a while since I used your service, well, you guys are the expert, I''ll go with anything you say." Said Osval.
"Hmph, then let''s go Ayda." Said Osval as both of he and Ayda left the mansion.
As Osval already poured the amber coloured liquid for them. "Geez~ is it gonna kill them to accompany me for a while?" Finishing the drink, Osval cheerfully hummed.

Later at night.
When they opened the door to the bar, they were met with the scent of alcohol and loud noises. A large majority of the room turned their gazes towards Clorevica. Hesitating on where to sit, Delice guided them to a counter seat.
"I¡¯ll get your foods right away. Would you like a drink? Only the first cup is free, though. And what happened to your face Mio? Do you want a hot towel?" Asked Delice as she was curiously looking at Mio.
Clorevica training wasn''t that hard and it was easy to remember, as a proof even before the sky turned orange Mio managed to throw her boomerang to her designated target, though the problem was she couldn''t catch the boomerang. And thanks to her bad luck, the boomerang always landed right on her face.
"E..ehehe...thanks... umm... what kind of drink do you have?" Asked Mio. Since she just realized that she was the only one that never tried an alcohol, she wanted to try some.Taken from Royal Road, this narrative should be reported if found on Amazon.
"Beer, wine, and mead, alcohol is only free for the first cup, though. Tea and milk are free afterwards." Said Delice as she listed the drinks.
"I''ll have beer." Said Yuu, ordering the drink he had tasted before.
"No ale? then Mead." Said Clorevica.
Unsure of what she could get, Mio chose the different order from those two. "E..erm...Wine." Said Mio, looking smug.
"Eeh? Are you sure Mio? You don''t seem to be the type that drinks alcohol though." Said Delice, though she still brought the drinks for those three.
As Yuu drank the yellow coloured beer in a big wooden pitcher. "Man, this isn''t bad."
Clorevica silently drank the white transparent mead in a wooden round glass.
And Mio, following Yuu drank the purple coloured wine in a small wooden chalice. "..Blegh..."
".....Mio, don''t drink wine like that." Said Clorevica as she blankly stared at Mio.
"Wah~ Mio really is a strong drinker." Said Delice as she was staring at Mio full of amazement.
And then, as if on cue, three burly adventurers staring at them, or more like to the three girls, as Yuu noticed they were the only woman inside of this bar.
Then they waddled to them.
"Oi, oi, oi, oi, young man, aren''t you a little bit too greedy over here?"
"That''s right~ shouldn''t you share a little bit with us?"
"Hey missus~ Delice~ why don''t you playing with us?"
Thinking that a beer would be completed with a cigarette, "Ah, I don''t mind." Yuu walked away, letting the three-man taking his position as he began to burn his cigarette.
"Oi!!!!"
But someone was yelling at him. It was loud enough to make the whole bar turned their faces to them. Moreover, it was a girly voice.
"What do you think you are doing?! *Hic* suddenly leaving us like that!!"
It was Mio, already drunk as her face turned bright red.
Yuu''s jaw was wide open, dropping the cigarette he already put into his mouth when she saw her.
"What''s up with that attitude?! *Hic* And aren''t you a little bit too young for smoking?!"
Somehow Yuu felt familiar with her last sentence.
"*Hic* Oi!! I''m talking to you!! *Hic* Aren''t you supposedly protecting me?!"
As the whole bar became speechless while watching Mio spoke by herself. And Clorevica just gave a big grin.
"Erm.. miss, maybe you should chill out a little bit." Said one of the drunkards as they suddenly became sobber.
"*Hic* Chill out?! How can I chill out?! That guy already seeing me naked!!!" Mio said as she pointing her finger toward Yuu.
Then tears slowly fell from the corner of her eyes. "*Hiks* Now no one will marry me... *Hic* And he didn''t even protect me from the drunkard?!"
Yuu was standing still, unsure of what he should do as everyone else was glaring at him. "....Mio, your drunk..." Said Yuu.
"*Hic* No! I''m not drunk! *Hic* Here! I''ll show you! Shift: Arms (Tiger)" As a dice rolling on her side, her slender arms slowly turned into big muscular tiger arms.
Shifting her gaze and smiling at the three drunkards. "Wataaaa!!! *Hic*" She yelled as her paws connected to one of the drunkard''s face, throwing him away for a few meters.
"John?! Oi I don''t care whether or not you''re a girl but that''s too far!!" Said one of the drunkards as he charged to Mio.
Meanwhile, Yuu and Clorevica wanted to act, reducing the damage Mio had done.
"Wataaaa!!!" This time, with her hairy monkey''s leg, although it was covered with her long leather pants, she kicked the one that charged at her. Three tooths were flying right out of his mouth. "Hey, hey Yuu~ Do you see that~? I can fight that mean I''m not drunk!! *Hic*"
Then, as she grinned to the last drunkard and slowly walked to him. "O..oi! You two! Help me!" Begged the drunkard to Yuu and Clorevica.
Though the luck was on that man side.
As the duration of her Shift: Legs (Monkey) over, in an instant, she sank to the floor. "Fuee~? What happened to my leg? .... Hey, Yuu.... W..why can''t I move my leg?" Mio said as the tears began flowing on her cheek.
Don''t call my name!! He thought in his mind. Though as he scratching his head, giving up on their dinner. Yuu silently walked toward her and carried her away. "....Sorry... I''ll make sure not to give her another alcohol." He said as he bowed to the other guest, didn''t want to get kicked out again.
While all of this happened, Delice was hiding under the bar, shivering. "...Alcohol is scary..."
Chapter 19
As the sun arose. The chickens clucking around, the merchants opening their vendors, and a guard flying from the door.
"Geez, I already say I can go by myself." Said Yuu as he the surrounding guard letting his arms go.
Last night, after he was putting Mio to bed. The three drunkard that tried to hit on her and Clorevica was found dead right in a dark alley, and there was a suspect telling that Yuu was the culprit. Albeit annoyed, after a little resistance, he decided to go with them after knowing that they had threatened Delice''s inn.
"But! That''s impossible! I was playing card with him and Clorevica la- Hmph!!" Shouted Delice, as Clorevica and her mother capped her mouth, signalling her not to stick her nose in.
And seemed like in the single night, there was a gossip spreading around that Yuu was killing those three because of jealousy. "Is this the guy?" Asked one of the guards to the skinny suspect.
"Yes! A black long hair with a big scar on his arm. There''s no doubt about it." Said the suspect. Pointing his finger right into Yuu''s face.
Annoyed, Yuu answering him by grabbing his clothes. "Hah?! I don''t even know who you are."
"Eeek! Help! He''s gonna kill me!" Said the suspect, with his B-rated movie act.
Seeing this one of the guards moving at him and punched him right into his stomach, not like it did a damage to him, but at the very least knowing that his action would only worsen the situation, Yuu threw the suspect.
People began to gather, whispering while watching this commotion. And Mio, with her ''experience'' after watching many detectives anime and crimes novel, acting like she was the protagonist. Stepping onto the scene while scratching her red face. "E..erm...Mr suspect, I''m sorry... but did you really see Yuu doing that?"
"Of course I do, he single-handedly killed those three. Hmph! I know it there''s no way that wood elf would bring someone decent." Said the suspect.
Nodding lightly, and this time scratching her arms. "E..erm...then...can you explain how Yuu killed them? like the weapon or the weapon?"
Startled for a little bit. "Does it matter? It was too dark, I couldn''t see the process." Said the suspect.
This time, as she was scratching her neck. "Is that so... th.. then! how can you be so sure that he is the killer?" Asked Mio.
"As I said, I saw a long black haired man with a big scar on his left arm." As he finished his sentence, Mio smiled.
"But it was dark right? how can you be so sure that your eyes weren''t wrong?" Completely absorbed with her role, she had a smug face while touching her chin and nodding around.Unauthorized duplication: this narrative has been taken without consent. Report sightings.
"Gh!.. that... that doesn''t matter! I saw him killing them." Sweats fell from the suspect forehead as he said this.
"Hee~ even though you said it was too dark until you couldn''t see the whole process but aren''t you a little bit too detailed about Yuu appearances? Moreover why Yuu? there were several others adventurers with a black long hair and a scar on their left arm right? And the fact that it was dark, shouldn''t you unable to differentiate the hair colour? especially a scar... but... isn''t that weird? not only you saw Yuu doing that, but you also know about the inn he stays, and why waited until now? why didn''t you telling the guard last night? it''s not like they should search again right? doesn''t this seem like you are trying to frame Yuu?"
Yuu and Clorevica weren''t able to close their mouth as they completely amazed by how Mio overwhelmed the said suspect with words, moreover not a single stutter and she said all of that in a single breath.
And as the audience nodding at her word, while some of the guards were glaring at her. Though if there weren''t that many spectators, they could use brute force and tried to take Yuu away, but with these many citizens watching them. They had a pride they should have kept. "...The girl is making sense." Said the guard captain.
Even though uncoordinated, but Mio knew enough that Yuu wouldn''t go away without a resistance, and as the spectator had been gathered, she started her deduction. Not the best one like the one she read on detective novels, but that was good enough to make everyone believed her.
Slowly the guards left the scene, followed by the surrounding people. As the suspect tried to blend in, running away from Yuu. Yuu at ease sneaked to his back, grabbing his shoulder with a very big grin on his face. "Oi! Who gives you the permission to leave?"
The suspect turned around and said "O..oh... now that I am looking at your face, the one I saw last night did have a very big scar on his face."
"...Is that so~?" Flipping his switch dagger out and pointing it at the suspect face. "Just how big his scar is?" Said Yuu while he was tapping the dagger right at the suspect face.
"E..ekk!! Hey! Someone help me!!" Shouted the suspect, though this time the guards were ignoring him. In fact, everybody was ignoring him. Thinking he reaped what he sowed.
Only smiling at him, Yuu said. "Oi! Leave your wallet and take off your clothes, maybe~ just maybe~ I''ll let you go unharmed."
Though, Mio stopping his action. In the end after pillaging all of his money as a payment for slandering Yuu, after giving him a good beating. Soon enough, the suspect was kneeling on the ground with an unrecognizable face. "So... why are you framing me? do you have a grudge against me?" Yuu said while crackling his finger.
"Ai.. Aih chanhot telh yuh zat. (I cannot tell you that.)" Said the suspect as he was unable to speak clearly with his swollen face. "Plz jus kill meh! (Please! Just kill me!)" He continued.
Tilting his head in confusion, Yuu only brought him into a dark alley, less than three minutes, he walked out with a vein popped up on his temple while dragging the suspect with him. "He only said something about Quin or something like that." Yuu reported to Mio and Clorevica as he threw the suspect away.
Clorevica, reacted a little bit when she heard that name. "E..erm.. do you know about this Quin?" Mio Said as she was scratching the back of her neck.
"Eh... just your ordinary untouchable assassin." Said Clorevica.
"W..wha? Why assassin?! Y..Yuu!! Did you do something bad?! Speaking of which! Yuu!! Why is my body became so itchy?!" Asked Mio.
"....Mio, as far as I know, the three of us always walk together, moreover none of you guys ever letting me strolling alone... Ah! There''s that damn deaf person though, you know... the one in MoonSun Inn, by the way, stop scratching that. That''s an alcohol allergy." Said Yuu while he grasped Mio''s hand, stopping her from scratching her body.
