Chapter 22: Jackpot in the dungeon

[Miko's POV]

Ever since the talk with Syr, I more or less get the gist who she really was.

She might be the person that is stalking me on the top of the tower or perhaps a part of her that is.

The gaze that Syr gave me that night. matches with the gaze of the tower person.

I might not know the true name of that person, but I know that she is very powerful and has a high status in Orario.

For now, I just need to keep an eye on Syr and be careful on the things she's going to do from now on.

Enough talking about Syr and let's move on with the other stuffs, like the solo dungeon exploration.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

On the next day, it the time where we do our own thing for a day, again.

This time, I will go to the dungeon on my own.

Why? Because I feel like doing it.

Besides, I have an experiment to do.

Once I got inside the dungeon, I first snapped my fingers on both hands and brought out the Musou no Hitotachi and Florid Sakura.

I observed the two katanas and tried some few practice swings with sword on my two hands.

After that I walk towards the dark cave tunnel and spotted three goblins.

I used Presence Concealment to sneak up behind the three unsuspecting monsters and swing the Musou no Hitotachi on the first goblin and sliced the second one with the Florid Sakura. Then I rushed towards the third one and swing the two katanas in an X shape.

I breathe heavily after finishing the three goblins and looked at the bloody katanas on both hands. The feeling of killing something with my own hands is quite a new experience to me.

I am usually the support type in the familia and doesn't actually used the katanas in the journey to Orario. Even now that we arrived, I'm still the supporting role in the dungeon exploration.

The feeling slashing and slicing made my blood rush faster. The surge of bloodlust comes forth from within me, wanting to kill more monsters.

This sense of bloodlust is somewhat familiar, like... I have felt it before.

Ah, I remembered. The time when that bastard Pallum ran away after we saved his ass from the griffon. I have first thought back then that if I save someone, they will return the favor. However, that moment shattered that thought and brought me to the dark reality. I shouldn't have trusted that Pallum in the first place and just left to die with the griffon. I felt the urge to slit that man's throat when I saw him run. If only I had a sword that time, I would have chased him and murdered him dead.

Shaking off the bad memories, I continued venturing the dungeon.

Suddenly I saw something quite rare on the distance, it is a Jack Bird.

'Jackpot'

I have heard from Eina-san that Jack Birds is a rare spawn that only appears at floor one. it is said that the drop rate of this bird is guaranteed to be worth at least 1,000,000 valis.

I again used my presence concealment to sneak towards the bird with being detected. Once I got close enough, I raise my sword and prepare to strike.

But then my ear twitch and sense some adventurers incoming.

"Ah, look! A Jack Bird"

"!!"

'Shet, the bird'

The jack bird sense someone is coming, it prepares itself to flee

'Oh no, you don't'

I quickly slashed the bird and it vanish into smoke. Then a golden egg drops along with a magic stone.

Then the adventurers finally saw me appeared in thin air.

"Hey! Where did you come from?! You look like a shrine maiden!"

"Yeah, why is a shrine maiden doing in the dungeon anyway?!"

"Plus, she is also a renard! with nine tails too!"

The three adventurers voiced out their complaints at me.

'This is troublesome'

"Ara? Is it wrong for a shrine maiden to be in the dungeon?"

I said as I brandish my two katanas at them. Then I vanish my swords back to my dimensional storage and picks up the golden egg and magic stone.

"Oi! We found that Jack Bird first. So, give that to us!"

"Yeah, give that back or we will cut you"

"Finders keepers, you pink fox b*tch!"

'Urgh, these men are quite annoying'

"Okay okay fine, here take it"

I threw something at their direction and they panickily caught it. Then they look at their palms and excitedly peek at what they caught. However, their excitement turned into anger and disappointment.

"HEY!! This is just a magic stone! Where's the golden- Wait?! Where did she go?!"

When I threw the magic stone at them, thinking it is the golden egg, I activated the presence concealment and sneaked pass the adventurer.

'Fufufu, morons'

I walked back to the surface, leaving the dungeon behind.

I could have continued venturing a bit more, but since I got myself a jackpot, I might as well show this to Eina-san. Besides, those three idiots will just come and find me if I keep venturing the dungeon.

Walking towards the guild and search for Eina-san when I entered inside. Then I found her sitting on the couch while browsing some documents.

I walked towards her and sneak up behind her.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

[Eina's POV]

I currently browsing some documents about certain adventurers that recently on the wanted list. Three of them were from a certain familia that was reported to be stealing possessions from other adventurers and sell them for their own personal gains.

While I was busy on reading documents, a pair of arms wrapped around me from behind.

"Ara~ What do we have here? Some important documents you are reading?"

A seductive voice suddenly whispered to my long ears, making me flinched.

"Kyaa!"

I turned around saw Miko-san's beautiful face up close.

"Miko-san?! What are you doing here?!"

I said in a fluster while blushing red from ear to ear. Miko-san laughs at my embarrassment and separated from me.

Then walks around and sits next to me.

"Well, I came to show you something"

"Huh? What is it?"

"Fufufu, it's something special. But first, promise me you will won't scream, okay?"

What is it she going to show me? and also, a special something? Is it what I think it is? An engageme-

"Tada~"

"A GOLDE- mmph!"

"Shh~ I told you not to scream"

I was about to yell 'golden egg' but Miko-san covered my mouth. and also, WHY IS SHE HAVE A GOLDEN EGG?! I thought Jack birds are supposed to be rare and hard to find!

"Umm, Miko-san"

"Yes?"

"Why do you have a golden egg. Aren't Jack birds supposed to be rare in the dungeon?"

"Ah, you see, I did find one and sneak towards it to kill it"

"But Jack birds had sensitive hearing and it would notice anyone coming towards it"

"Fufufu, I have my ways~"

"I see, it is quite unusual for you to-"

*BANG*

I then look at the entrance and saw three adventurers angrily opened the door.

"WHERE IS SHE?!"

One of them frantically searched the whole area for someone.

Then he looks at our direction and spotted Miko-san who is sitting casually next to me.

"YOU!!"

The three angry adventurers then trudged towards us and grudgingly stared at us.

"You! pink fox b*tch! Where's the golden egg?!"

"Ara? I don't know what are you talking about"

Miko-san waved her hands in the air, showing nothing in her hands.

'wait? where did she..'

"WHERE IS IT, YOU B*TCH?! I SWEAR I WILL-"

"If you finding for 'the golden egg', I had already given it to someone else"

"Huh?! Who did you gave it to?!"

"Fufufu, I will never tell~"

Miko-san teasingly said, making the trio furious.

"Tsk, nevermind! Let's go you two! we have more things to do"

The three adventurers turned around and was about to leave.

Then suddenly, I remembered their faces and looked at the documents that I was browsing.

'Wait a minute, those three were part of that shady wanted familia members'

"HOLD IT!"

I demanded the three adventurers to stop moving. The three haulted and turned around.

"What?"

"Are you three... from the Soma Familia?"

"!!"

The three adventurers realized that they were supposed not in the open because they're wanted and was about to make a run for the door.

*Clang*

"""ARGGH!"""

The three adventurers suddenly became stunned and tripped to the floor. I then look at Miko-san with a purple bell object on her hand.

She then stood up and walked towards the three stunned adventurers

"Ara~ who would have thought that I came across three criminals in the dungeon earlier. If only would have known you guys were wanted, I would have apprehended you three much sooner"

Miko-san mockingly taunts the three adventurers on the floor.

"You B*tch! I should have gutted you in the first place and took that golden egg from you!"

"What egg? You mean this egg?"

Miko-san snapped her fingers and the golden egg comes out from thin air.

"YOU LYING B*TCH!!"

The adventurer from the middle recovered from the stun and lounge towards Miko-san.

*Clang*

"Hnngh!!"

The adventurer was then stunned mid-run and Miko-san evades the attack. Then the man fell face first to the ground and Miko-san stepped on his head.

"Ara ara~ you such a bad boy"

Miko-san then proceeds to twist the sole of her shoes and press the man's head further to the floor.

Most of the receptionist run towards the scene and apprehended the three adventurer, leaving the rest of the people in the guild to be bewildered from the series of events.

"So.... Eina-san..."

"Huh?"

"Can I sell this golden egg?"

------------------------------------------------------------

[Third POV]

Back in the Takemikazuchi Familia headquarters, Miko returned to the base with a special surprise.

"WHAAAT!!! MIKO-SAN! WHERE DID YOU THIS MUCH MONEY?!" Mikoto yells at what Miko had brought

Miko came back with a huge bag of valis that worth 1,000,000 valis. The whole familia was stunned by the amount of money Miko placed on the table. Miko proudly puffs her chest and smugly smiled at the amazed familia member.

"Well~ I found a Jack Bird this morning and successfully got its drop item~"

"WHAT? A Jack Bird? But how did you?" Takemikazuchi asked but then realized that Miko has precense concealment skill.

"This is good! We are close to have enough money to bring home in the shrine, we just need to earn just bit more" Takemikazuchi proudly declares

But then Miko's face went stiff and became serious instantly

"No. Where are not leaving yet" Miko rebuke Takemikazuchi's declaration

"Huh, but we have much mone-"

'Haruhime is still in the city, we need to find her before we leave" Miko coldly says to the familia.

The whole familia went silent when Miko mentioned Haruhime.

"You're right! We need to find her as soon as possible!" Hitachi first to agree

"Right! We will prioritize on the search for her whereabouts right away!" Kashima replies second

"Yes! Now we have the much money for the shrine, the only thing we need to do is rescue her!" Mikoto declares. Miko nods and raised her fist in the air

"For Haruhime!"

""FOR HARUHIME!"" The others raised their fist as well.

The whole familia chants throughout the night, cheering to save Haruhime someday.

-------------------------------------------------------------

Hello everyone, Author-san here,

I know that this is all a sudden, but I promise that series will be much longer.

The money problem of the Takemikazuchi familia is already taken care off and the search for Haruhime begins. Also, to make the series longer, I will not include the novel volume about Haruhime's whereabouts to make it harder to find her.

Also, the money Miko earned is high, but I don't know much valis Takemikazuchi needs to bring back to the shrine. So, I decided to make them earn more, as well as search for her.

That is all, hope you enjoyed the read,

bye bye
