*BAGYAAAAAAAAAAAA!*
Metallic sound rang out thunderously. The glans of the Rock Turtle that was
presumed to be level 180 were smashed to pieces.
The Rock Turtle couldn't even scream with its vital spots pulverized. It
crumbled on the spot and silence finally returned to the underground
cavern.
"Fuu, that was really dangerous, but luckily I could defeat it before the
cavern cave-in... Alicia, are you and that girl alright?"
"...Yes. I also put up the Sacred Defense barrier. Teresa is also
alright... Hey Erio, more importantly..."
Alicia pointed at the fallen giant Rock Turtle.
"Is that... perhaps crystal...?"
"Eh?"
I turned around from her words. There was the Rock Turtle's corpse at that
direction.
Transparent crystal peeked out from its smashed steel carapace.
"Eh... is this...!?"
My eyes widened and I dashed toward the corpse.
When I looked closer, only the surface of the carapace covering its body
was made from iron, while underneath it was mostly crystal.
"Don't tell me, this rock turtle isn't a picky eater for iron but
omnivorous!?"
I took out the appraisal crystal in a hurry and tried appraising the exposed
crystal.
Then,
.
Rock Crystal: A living mineral that could be used in various manufacturing.
Quality: Top class
.
That was undoubtedly the material for appraisal crystal that Route-san
asked us to gather.
Furthermore the appraisal result stated "top calls quality", perhaps because
it had ripened inside the monster's body for a long time.
"Wh, wait a second. It's amazing that it's top class quality, but could it be
this..."
I gulped audibly and inserted my penis sword into the Rock Turtle's huge
shell.
The penis sword easily dismantled the body of Rock Turtle whose mana
had dispersed with its death.
What I found after peeling off the iron surface of the shell was
"...Waa. All of this is rock crystal?"
Alicia's eyes sparkled.
Should I call this as expected or something?
The inside of the shell that was covering the giant Rock Turtle was mostly
made up of rock crystal.
When I used appraisal crystal on it, it showed that all the parts had top class
quality.
I would need to hunt dozens of normal crystal eater Rock Turtles to rival
this amount. This amount was more than enough to satisfy Rouge-san's
requirement.
"T-this is amazing..."
I couldn't close my wide open mouth from this gain that was far beyond my
expectation.
Although, there was something else that took priority right now.
"Other monster won't bother with the rock crystal, so let's just bring a
fragment of it back with us for now. Right now our priority is taking Teresa
back to the village as fast as possible."
"...Yes, you're right."
For some reason Alicia stared at my face happily. And so we escaped from
the cavern together at that note.
We returned to the village by heading toward the smoke signal, together
with the unconscious girl who loved her father.
.
The village was wrapped in joy after I brought Teresa back.
From the start everyone was already excited because there was no death
from the landslide. When it was combined with Teresa's dramatic return,
even the unrelated people started merrymaking for some reason. A party
was spontaneously being held.
"Thank you...! Thank you...! I really can't thank you enough for what
you have done for me...!"
In the middle of such party, Teresa's father was bowing his head to me so
low his head almost touched the ground. Alicia healed the father with her
healing skill after there was no more worry that he would run off to the
dangerous area after Teresa had been returned. Now he had become
completely energetic (though a bit of time had passed where he stayed in an
injured state, so as expected he couldn't make a complete recovery right
away).
I prompted the father to lift his head already while speaking to him.
"No, it's really okay. It also made me happy to be able to save Teresa-san.
Besides just between the two of us, we found an incredible gain thanks to
her."
I took out the rock crystal fragment from my pocket. This occasion was
exactly the reason why I brought it back. I let the father checked the
crystal's quality using my appraisal crystal.
"We found a special Rock Turtle at the place where Teresa-san fell. We
definitely wouldn't find it if we didn't search for her. We have already
received more than enough reward with this."
"...Tsu, I thank you, from the bottom of my heart."
The father finally became convinced by my words that I said with
genuineness.
Furtehrmore,
"Umm, big brother Eriol."
Teresa who had woken up some time ago and clung tightly to her father for
the whole time since then clenched the hem of her clothes while fidgeting.
"Thank you very much, it's thanks to big brother that I can meet with father
again."
"Your welcome."
Teresa put on a radiant smile with eyes that were red from crying her eyes
out. A smile naturally formed on my face from her honest smile and replied
back to her.
...It was really great that I was able to hold back from exploding with my
penis sword.
If not then around this time, I would surely be unable to accept this
priceless reward without any reservation.
Like that the various troubles were settled all at once.
"Allow us to thank you too!" The other villagers said and crowded Alicia
and I to give us warm hospitality. Like that we were fed until our stomach
was full and ended up staying in the best inn in the village.
We were fed with so much food that even Alicia was unable to do her
routine get along in her current state. We decided to retire to bed early in
preparation of harvesting the rock crystal tomorrow. It was then.
.
*Knock knock*
.
"Hm?"
A visitor came to the room where Alicia and I stayed in.
I left the bed where Alicia was sleeping and opened the door while
wondering who it could be.
Then the one standing there was,
"Good evening, Eriol-sama. You have achieved great things today haven't
you?"
"Sister Claire...?"
For some reason this outrageous nun came here alone without even bringing
her bodyguard, the female knight Sylvia-san with her. She stared at me with
a sweet graceful smile.
