Chapter 66 - The Quest Isn't Done Yet (1)

As Artpe had predicted, Maetel and Sienna regained consciousness in short order.They were surprised at how much they had gotten stronger after they had woken up.This was especially true for Sienna.She was dazed.

“Oppa was able to kill the Kraken unscathed.What a relief…..Still, I think I received to much EXP.Also, my skill is strangely more powerful now.”

“That’s because you contributed the most in killing the Kraken…..Huh?It seems you aren’t aware of this fact.Maetel, did you really get Sienna’s consent before you brought her magical energy?”

Artpe’s question was sharper than Maetel’s long sword.Maetel turned up her smile to 120% as she answered him.

“My feelings and thoughts for Artpe is the same as Sienna!Of course, my feelings are much stronger compared to hers.”

Basically, she hadn’t received consent from Sienna.She was able to take and use someone else’s magical energy as she pleased.Artpe was having a hard time figuring out the skill called Record Divide.Before he did anything, he flicked Maetel’s forehead several times.

“I told you countless times that there is a close relationship between Mana and one’s life.If she hadn’t leveled up, Sienna would have been put in a precarious situation.”

“If I didn’t do it, Artpe would have died!”

“Oppa!? You almost died!?”

At Maetel’s words, Sienna freaked out as she reacted to the news.Maetel knew this was her chance.She told Sienna all about what Artpe and she had endured, while they faced the Kraken.After hearing the complete story, Sienna clapped her hands saying they had been fortunate.

“This means I was able to have a deep understanding with unni!I'm so happy.I’m so happy that I was able to help oppa.”

“There’s a deep understanding between the two of you?When did you two develop….Ah.”

There was that incident.They had fought in broad daylight at the auction house. They spoke about squishy feelings that sounded as if they were revealing their hearts….No, they were probably acting.

Artpe didn’t want to dig into it any further, so he shut his mouth.Instead, he grabbed Roa, who was perched on top of his head.She had been playing with his hair.He introduced Roa to them.

“This is Roa.She'll be with us from now on.As you can see, she isn’t a normal cat.She’s the Greed Beast.”

[Nyaa.]

Roa lifted a paw as she gave her greeting.Even if they were told that she was the Greed Beast, she looked like a dignified black cat on the outside.Sienna was at an age where she loved cute stuff, so her eyes shone.She sounded pleased.

“You are too cute!You are very very cute!”

However, Maetel tackled the issue from a totally unexpected direction.

“Artpe, is Roa a female cat or a male cat?”

“She’s a female cat.Are you trying to compete even with a beast?”

“Grrrrrrr······.”

[Nyaa······.]

When Maetel heard that the cat was female, she started growling.Maetel became guarded.Roa, who had to face Maetel’s hostility, was taken aback by it.

“She really is cute…..No, Artpe-nim!This isn’t the time to be doing this!”

There was a cordial atmosphere amongst the hero’s party.Mycenae couldn’t stand it, so she express her anger.

“Yes, yes.I’ll go out.I’m coming.Tsk.”

Artpe was lackadaisical as he got up.He put his robe around his body.No one instructed her to do so, but Roa entered into his robe out of her own accord.She hid atop his head.

It was the corpse of an enormous level 267 large monster.It was something rarely seen in the human world.Artpe felt depressed at the thought of facing the humans demonstrate their greed.

He got out of the bed first, then he waited for Maetel and Sienna to equip themselves.After they were done getting ready…...

“Artpe, I’m hungry.”

“Oppa~I want to eat buttered corn.”

“All right.Let’s eat before we go.”

[Nyaa!]

“Ah ah!Really!Artep-niiiim!”

They decided to go eat first.

“You are finally up?”

“We’ve been waiting for you, magician.”

It was as if they had been trying to eat all the meals they had missed for the past two days.They enjoyed their meals thoroughly before they went to the square.It seemed all the foreign nobles, nobles of Diaz, the lord of Frate and the merchants were all gathered here.If things went a little bit awry, a much dirtier and thicker greed compared to what was seen in the auction house yesterday would emanate from them.

“Wow.It looks really big seen in this light….burp.”

“You dummy, don’t speak and burp at the same time.Where did your dignity as a human go to?”

“It really is big.Oppa killed this.Oppa is too cool.”

Of course, they weren’t the only ones there.The Kraken was so large that he wondered how they moved the corpse inland.Moreover, the Kraken’s corpse had been kept intact.It was being guarded by an awe-inspiring number of guards….. Artpe was baffled by all of this, so he asked the lord a question.

“I’ve only killed the Kraken.The Lunatic Wave has started, so it won’t end until the winter ends.Is it ok for you all to be here doing nothing?”

“Since you’ve killed the Kraken, the size of the Wave has decreased.Two days has passed, yet the size of the Wave barely increased in size.We still have time.This is all thanks to you….”

“The more important thing right now is the Kraken!”

“Magician!We want to talk to you about divvying up the Kraken’s loot!”

“Koo-hmmm······.”

The foreign nobles were jumping up and down in excitement.The only one that was subdued amongst them was Frate’s lord, count Melard.He probably also coveted the Kraken’s corpse, but the defense of Frate was more important to him.

“Even if you don’t raise your voices, the magician will understand your words.Everyone should calm down, and we should wait for him to speak.This will allow us to do this quickly, and it’ll finish without any conflict.”

“How can I do that!These bastards are trying to steal my share of the Kraken through unfair reason!”

“Who are you accusing of theft?I acquired the share to the barrier wall through the merchant over there!I bought it with my Magic Stones early on!I’m different from you guys, who held out giving the Magic Stones until the last moment.You only gave it up, because you didn’t want to die!”

“Everyone should calm down!Aren’t you ashamed of your behavior as nobles!”

“How can we calm down right now!”

This was why the count had remained here.If he vacated his post of watching over the corpse of the Kraken, he was worried a fight would have broken out.He was at a point where he wished the corpse of the Kraken would just disappear.

‘Thankfully, the lord has a good head on his shoulders.If people like him didn’t exist, the country would fall into ruins.’

Artpe shared a bitter laugh with the lord before he stepped forward.Everyone’s attention was focused on him.He let out a deep sigh, and he looked over the Kraken’s corpse. He had planned on talking about everyone’s share after he made an accurate assessment of the worth of the Kraken’s corpse.
