220. Entering the cave

“How much time is left, little one!”

“We still have a long way to go.”

“So how much is that still?”

“If you follow me, you will understand.”

“This kid, he doesn’t explain properly!”

“Would you understand if I explained it to you? Even though you don’t know the terrain here.”

“What the heck! This little brat!”

The monster hunting party that left the village moved under Danny’s guidance.

However, the quality of those in the hunting party was not very good.

From the beginning, he has been teasing and harassing Danny.

Because he is a young Pathfinder, he is ignored and looked down on.

“Those things… … !”

“Please be patient.”

When Horton saw that, he couldn’t stand it anymore and tried to step forward, but I stopped him.

Because if you try to protect him now, you might end up making things harder for Danny along the way.

Then Danny stopped and turned around.

One of the adventurers who was about to raise his fist shouted.

“Isn’t this kid closing his eyes?”

“Why? Are you going to hit me?”

“Ha! Look at this kid?”

“That kid is really reckless.”

Then the others also glared at Danny.

“Let go. Those things just won’t work.”

Horton tried to jump out again, but I caught him.

Even if it wasn’t for him, I was going to step in if it really seemed like there was going to be a problem, and more than anything, Danny’s expression didn’t seem intimidating at all.

“I told you to leave it to Danny.”

As soon as I finished speaking, Danny spoke.

“Just hit me. Then I’ll have to go through a very difficult, arduous, and dangerous path and escape alone. Do you think I can’t escape? Do you think you guys can catch me, knowing the little rabbit holes in the forest and the locations of the vines? If you’re confident, hit me!”

“This little brat!”

“This is now… … !”

Those who were about to threaten flinched.

Because if Pathfinder really sets his mind to doing that, the hunting party that doesn’t know the terrain will have a hard time.

Most people aren’t stupid, so they can’t ignore Danny’s counterattack.

But there’s bound to be at least one idiot who doesn’t even think about that.

“Where did this little brat hear adults talking… …!”

Eventually one of the guys ran up to Danny and tried to hit him.

The moment I was about to step forward.

Bam!

“Ugh!”

Another person came forward and threw the guy down.

That person is none other than the S-class adventurer Getas.

“Hey, Getas-sama!”

As soon as he saw Getas, he became lost in thought, as if he was an adventurer.

“What are you doing now? Do I have to keep listening to such trivial nonsense when I’m on my way to do a job?”

Getas was full of annoyance.

That wasn’t all.

Even the expressions of Trejo and the other high-ranking players were filled with annoyance and irritation at the unnecessary delay in their progress.

The adventurer who saw it only then lowered his head in thought.

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry!”

Then he quickly ran back.

Then Getas said.

“Kid, you move quickly too.”

At those words, Danny led the way again.

The guy also realized that he shouldn’t attack Getas.

“Oh. And I’m warning you, if you do anything like I mentioned earlier, I’ll smash your head in right away. So you’d better not do anything stupid. Remember that.”

Danny trembled slightly at the next words.

Because Getas’ words contained the spirit of life.

“Oh my… … !”

Horton was furious at the sight, but couldn’t come forward.

I can’t just come forward, because I’ve already heard that he’s a master.

‘Ha, guy.’

But I was more impressed with Danny for not being discouraged by such threats.

Seeing that he was able to deal with such bullying at such a young age, I could guess how much he had suffered and lived.

Anyway, thanks to that resistance, no one touched Danny after that.

For that reason, the journey was smooth, and by the afternoon, we were able to arrive near our destination.

* * *

“If you go that way for just 10 more minutes, you’ll find yourself in the monster habitat!”

The hunting party had already entered deep into the forest.

Danny’s words caused the mood in the hunting party to change rapidly.

The slightly light-hearted atmosphere became serious as they heard that their destination was approaching.

“Okay. Guide me.”

At Getas’s words, Danny started off again, and everyone followed him.

And after about 10 minutes, the destination appeared before my eyes.

“This is it.”

The place Danny pointed to was a cave.

The entrance was just big enough for several people to enter, and even though it was a monster habitat, no sound was heard.

“Gather together.”

“Free knights, this way.”

“We will take a break here.”

Soon each group split up.

We came here together, but from now on, we are each separate.

Anyway, the divided group went into the meeting or took a rest.

Meanwhile, Danny approached us.

Horton patted Danny’s head.

“Good job.”

“Hehehe, no. I’ve been here several times already.”

“Heh heh, really… … .”

Rather, since it shouldn’t be like that, I asked Danny so that he wouldn’t see it when Horton made a pitiful expression.

“What are you going to do now? It’s getting dark, and it’s late, so do you want to move in the morning?”

Even without that, I saw a group of people among the other groups who were thinking about that.

If Danny was going to do that, I was willing to be there for him.

The guy shook his head.

“No. I can’t leave Marie alone for too long. And I’m late because I’m guiding her. If I go alone, I’ll get there quickly. You don’t have to worry about me.”

“Okay, I get it. He’s a grown man, he’ll figure it out.”

“Hehehe, of course.”

Danny chuckled, and I smiled back and patted him on the back.

“Then go quickly. Don’t stay with us and go to Marie quickly.”

“Okay, I’ll go, guys. Bye!”

“Okay, be careful.”

Danny waved his hand and disappeared really quickly.

Horton and I looked at it and checked out the hunting party.

Most of them were ready to move, ready to get started right away.

The only ones who don’t seem to have any thoughts are the wizards of Rondalura Tower.

“Let’s take a look around.”

“Okay. See you later.”

Meanwhile, we split up and started wandering around the cave.

I wanted to find traces of the mercenaries, as well as Sadie, Elle, and Christina.

“Um, there isn’t any.”

I looked around, but there was no sign of camping or hunting, as if no one had ever stayed in this area.

What’s curious is that there are no animal corpses even though it’s near the monster habitat.

They obviously need to catch and eat something to survive, but there is nothing like that.

“Did you find anything?”

“no.”

“Hmm, me too.”

When we arrived back in front of the cave, Horton asked, and I shook my head.

He also let out a small sigh, wondering if it was the same.

Meanwhile, the wizards of Rondalura Tower have also disappeared.

Eventually, everyone went into the cave.

“Let’s go in too.”

“Okay, let’s go.”

Soon we entered the cave.

As we entered inside, the overall structure of the cave came into view.

It was a decent-sized structure, extending in a straight line all the way to the inside, and about 3 meters high.

As each of us began to advance, each holding a torch, we could see the numerous footprints of those who had already entered.

But even though I entered inside, there was no particularly threatening atmosphere or sound at all.

It’s questionable whether this is really a monster habitat.

Judging from the fact that no other sounds could be heard from the front, it seemed that those who went ahead had not yet encountered any monsters.

How far did it go like that?

“what?”

Finally, the group that had entered our sight first appeared.

They stopped entering and stood side by side, as if they were confronting something.

As I approached him, I heard their voices.

“Why three people? It’s different from what I heard.”

“Did the village chief lie?”

“No way. He wouldn’t lie to us unless he had a spare life.”

It was a sound I couldn’t understand, but when I got close enough, my eyes widened.

It was true that the hunting parties were in a standoff, and the beings who had created the standoff were people I knew.

I called them.

“Sister Elle! Christina! Sadie!”

That’s right.

It was none other than Elle and her group.

“Astin!”

“Oh, it’s Astin.”

“Why is that guy here?”

The three of them… … no, the two people excluding Christina recognized me and reacted in surprise.

As I approached the three men, the hunting party moved out of the way.

“What? Do you know those guys?”

“Then that’s not what the village chief said?”

“Tch! You’re confusing people for no reason.”

As they passed by, they said this, and I stood in front of Elle, remembering those words.

My sister asked me, holding my hand.

“What happened? Astin, why are you here?”

“I want to ask you something first. You suddenly left to get ingredients, so why are you here? Do you know where this is?”

“Of course I know. This is one of the Master’s hidden material sources.”

His older sister whispered in his ear so that the hunting party wouldn’t hear.

At those words, my gaze turned to Sadie, and as if she had been waiting, she asked.

“What brings you here? What are they all?”

“that is…….”

I gave a brief explanation, as the hunting party was waiting behind me.

Then Sadie laughed in an absurd way.

“There’s a monster here? Huh, that’s the most ridiculous story I’ve ever heard.”

Sadie reacted as if to say that monsters could never live in this cave.

Just as I was about to ask him the reason, I heard a voice from behind.

“Hey! Enough with the touching reunion, would you like to talk to us?”

I turned my head at the slightly sarcastic remark.

Then the leaders of each group, including Getas, came out and surrounded us.

I answered it.

“What is it?”

Getas and the others frowned slightly at him.

I didn’t like it when I stepped forward instead of Horton.

But I opened my mouth with restraint because I saw that the mood was about me and not Horton.

“Didn’t you guys say you came here looking for mercenaries? What are those women?”

“Don’t even think about calling women mercenaries. We’re not stupid either.”

After Getas, he also spoke to Trejo.

It makes us suspicious that they have ulterior motives.

But when I was about to speak, Sadie spoke first.

“Why should we tell the likes of you guys that?”

Sadie Down’s strong response.

The leaders’ expressions hardened at her words.

“Hehehe, you guys? Hey, I got hit with an unexpected punch.”

“The likes of you?”

“This bitch is out of her mind.”

After Getas and Trejo, the leader of the Rondalura Tower also spoke up, as if he was in a bad mood.

That too, very strongly.

Soon, Getas took a step forward.

“Okay, you don’t have to say anything. But you can pay for your rudeness with your body.”

In other words, they are talking about attacking.

A murderous aura began to flow into the cave.

Other leaders also showed signs of coming forward.

“Hehehe.”

Sadie saw that and chuckled.

As if it were ridiculous.

As the leaders’ expressions grew increasingly worse at the sight, Sadie suddenly spoke.
